IN hENF.UAI,. Tombstone, A. T., March 21.—Nows of the surrender of (Jeronimo to Lieut. Maus was brought here today by a solilier who has been under Lieut. Wneelcr at Mud Springs. The circumstances of the surrender are as follows: Thursday afternoon, about ten miles south of San Bernardino, the Apache camp was attacked by Mexican forces. A hot skirmish followed, during which two Apaches were killed and the forces of Gernimo completely routed. Geronimo and his band fled in lhe direction of Lieut. Maus’ camp for safety, and there made an unconditional surrender. Kansas City, March 22.—At 9 o'clock this morning a general sounding of locomotive whistles signalled the inauguration of another strike. At that hour the union switchmen in every railroad yard in the city, in freight business, generally stopped. The Chicago artel Alton railway made up a train by the help of nonunion men and sent it out, but the strikers are said to have boarded and stopped it at the eastern city limits. The Wabash is working a small force, sufficient the officials say, to handle city freight, and being under protection of the federal court they have invoked the protection of the United States marshals. A mass meeting of strikers, will be held at noon. A meeting of representatives of all the roads is being held to consider the situation. It is reported that most of the packing houses will close tomorrow. Plankington & Armour discharged a fourth of their force today. The great smelting works at Argentine will also be compelled to shut down. A general closing down will cutoff the daily income of 4,000 men. Marshall, March 21.—Matters remain quiet in the strike situation. The local committee of Knights of Labor received a dispatch from Grand Master Workman Powderly, but they will not give the slightest intimation as to its contents, or whether Mr. Powderly is coming here. Mr. James Cash, one of the Gouldsboro or New Orleans committee, returned home last night. Mr. John J. McGrath, the other member, remains here for further consideratjpn of the Hall matter. Mr. C. A. Hall says that he is in the hands of the executive committee of the Knights of Labor and subject to their order; whatever they decide he will abide by. Topeka, Kan., March 22.—The Missouri Pacific Railroad company filed, Saturday, in the United States circuit court for the district of Kansas, a bill in equity against 300 strikers, charging them and other late employes with having formed a conspiracy to abandon the company’s service, and assuming control of its property and resisting .the performance of service for the company, thus preventing the railway company from carrying on its business as a common carrier; that the defendants are under orders of a secret organization known as the Knights of Labor, formed for the purpose, among others, of dictating the reiations of members to their employers. The court issued an injunction, and orders to place the company in the possession of its property and restrain the strikers from interfering* with the company’s business. Federal power is thus directly invoked. The measure is regarded as a test, and is an important move against the strikers. Jackson, Miss., March 22.—A very daring robbery is reported today from Tchula Lake in Holmes county, Miss. Three men boldly entered the residence there of Mrs. Mary Sclilander, a widow, and bound and gagged her as well as a man who was on the premises. They then put her to torture until she told them where all her money was concealed. They obtained $1300 from her and $100 from the man and started off with it. A warning was given, and the marshal of the neighboring town of Tchula, accompanied by a posse, started in pursuit of the thieves. They came up with two of them in the woods near by, and a fight ensued, in which one of the theives was killed and the other mortally wounded, and Mr. H. B. Jones, of Tchula, one of the posse, badly injured. A third of the money taken from Mrs. Schlander was found in the pockets of the dead man. Omaha, March 22.—A Missouri Pacific, freight train started out of Omaha yesterday afternoon. At the time the Knight of Labor were holding a meeting and one of them, who had been on the watch, rushed into the meeting and informed them of the fact. A number of knights rushed down to the yards to head off the train, but finding it goqc captured a Union Pacific engine and with, it 'overtook the Missouri Pacifictrain at Paillion, eighteen ’miles out. They sidetracked the train and brought the engine back to Omaha, and ran it into the round house. St. Louis, March 22.—The agreement drawn up by Governors Martin and Marmadukc of Kansas and Missouri, rcspectively, as a basis for the settlement of the strike on the Missouri Pacific railway, together with VicePresident Hoxie’s acceptance of the same with qualifications, were presented last night to the cxecutive committee of district assembly No. 101, Knights of Labor. The governors called in person upon Martin Irons, (Itajrman of the committee, and urged acceptance of the conditions by his committee,which was soon afterwards called together to informally discuss the conditions inserted by Mr. Hoxioin the agreement. No action was takeft last night, the matter being discussed in a strictly unofficial way, and after a long session the committee adjourned until today when the contents of the document will be formally considered, and some decision reached. The manner in which the agreement is received by members of the committee affords little hope that its conditions will be accepted. Omaha, March 22.—Further attempts yesterday to storm the barn near Oakland in Burt county, where the desperado Ed. Johnson is intrenched, resulted in the death of another man named Edgar Everett, whom the desperado shot, Several others were slightly' wounded during the clay'. The murderer has killed three men, wounded several, and has shot several horses. The barn which is now burning was with its contents valued at $6,000, and belonged to C. P. Johnson, one of the men killed. Later news says the barn in which the desperado had concealed himself was set on fire about half past five last night. Afire was then opened on Johnson and lie wes killed by falling into the flames. When the fire had subsided his body was found in a large pile of oats, and the body was found riddled with bullets. Little Rock, Ark., March 22.— About 2 o'clock this morning the northbound Iron Mountain passenger train was stopped at the long trestle, two miles south of Little Rock by the discovery that the trestle was burning. It was soon destroyed and the train had not arrived at 10 o’clock this evening. It is believed that the fire was the result of incendiarism. Denison, March 22.—Sunday night, after midnight, a body of . men, 150 strong, marched to the Missouri Pacific shops and took charge. Most of these men were masked. They killed all the passenger engines, the stationary' engine that runs the machinery at the various shops, turned out all the water in the tanks and disabled several engines and other machinery and pumps. It is said they also hunted for Master Mechanic Clark, saying they wanted to hang him, but failed to find him. Mr. Hartigan, superintendent of the Missouri Pacific, was sent for by somebody' and promptly proceeded to the shop, but the* crowd had left before he arrived. By prompt action on his part and the assistance of a few loyal employes, he succeeded in resuscitating two of the engines be* fore they were dead. St. Louis, March 22—The executive committee of District Assefhbly No. 101, Knights of Labor, consisting of Chairman Irons, and members from Texas, Kansas and Missouri, announced this evening that they had rejected the proposition embodied in Mr. Hoxie's letter to Govs. Marmaduke, of Missouri, and Martin, of Kansas, as being too vague and unsatisfactory'. Their formal reply has not yet been prepared. They' will now take steps to secure the aid of merchants in a further effort to arbitrate with Mr. Hoxie, and a committee to that end has been appointed, who will call upon the merchants for their assistance. Chairman Irons was asked: "What are the chief objectionable points in Mr. Hoxie’s letter. “I do not care to express myself upon that subject at present,” said Air. Irons. "The papers we arc preparing will cover all that.” “Have you decided upon any course in case all of your efforts toward effecting a settlement fail ?” “Not definitely.” “You will probably extend the strike? ” “Yes, 1 suppose so. The strike will be extended all over the Gould system.” “When will this he done?” “That depends.” It is understood on inside circles this afternoon that the Knights of Labor on the entire Gould system, which includes the Wabash and touches as far east as Toledo and Detroit, will go out at 6 o’clock tonight. This, however, has not been positively determined upon, but it comes from good enough authority to give it publicity. A good deal, however, will depend on the action of the merchants with whom a committee is conferring this afternoon. Adams' Tutti Frutti Is a fine chewing gum and aids digestion.

The Masques and Masqueraders—The Winners of the Prizes—The Elegant Banquet and Joyous Dance—A Highly Creditable Success. Centuries ago, when Jehovah's chosen people triumphed over their enemies and compassed their destruction, the Jews had "light and gladness, joy and honor,” and they set apart the days of their gladness as a' festival to be observed by their descendants through all ages. With a fidelity to the traditions of their ancestors, for which the race is noted, they annually celebrate with fitting rites the triumph of Queen Esther and the faithfid Mordecai. From year to year the Purim ball is an occasion when each hour is roseate with pleasure, “every moment jeweled with joy.” This season, as always, it was a characteristic success. The opera house fftior at an early hour held a gay throng of maskers and the dress circle was completely filled with pleased and interested spectators. The costumes ranged from regal to grotesque, the royal purple and the motley garbs being mixed in merry confusion. Some of them were triumphs of the costumer’s art, rich in texture, elaborate in design, while others seemed to have been brought from the realms of the grotesque, and were ludicrous in their whimsical caprices. Among the many that caught the eye and pleased the fancy were the following: Watson Evans as “Red Rover of the Seas;” Miss Nettie Anderson, “Italian girl;” Miss Hortcnse Herz, “Cards;” Miss Bessie Levine, “Starry Night;” Miss Fannie Wise, “Magician;” E. Roller, “American Knight;” Miss Maud Hillen, “Quakeress;” Annie Hillen, “Flower Girl;” Oscar Ragland, “Mephistopheles;” the Misses Lewine, “Equestriennes;” Mrs. Chas. Shapera, “Spanish Lady;” Miss Pauline Kuttner and Miss Rhoda Brelsford, “Pop Corn Girls;” *A1 McKccn, “Prince;” Martin Cheesman, “Knight of the French' Court;” besides a host of others fittingly arrayed as became the time when Mounts ruled the hour. Mrs. Joe Lew •ine, in a dainty costume, filled to perfection the role of “Lady Photographer” and carried off the first prize, a beautiful cream and sugar set, for her skillful impersonation. Sol Wcslow, comically garbed as a “Gambier’s wife,” looking for an errant husband, took the second prize for,originality of costume and clever personation. Miss Mollie Marx was distinguished as the young lady most active in selling tickets and earnest in her efforts to promote the success of the evening. Her toilette was one of surpassing beauty, being of shrimp pink satin, with black velvet train, in strictest harmony with the loveliness of its wearer. The noble ladies whose strenuous exertions made the ball of’86 a sweeping success and to whom the lpftiest praise is but a feeble tribute, are Mesdames S. Marx, 11. Alexander, 1. Lovinger, E. Kuttner, P. Lyons, A. Herz, R. Lessing, S. Wise, I. Naman, J. Marx, J. Robinson and B. Haber. At 11:30 o clock the dining room of the New Me Cfelland was thrown open, where a tempting and sumptuous spread, su h as Mr. Hasset alone ca devise, was served and to which the eager pleasure seekers did full justice. Aftetrsupper the dancers again sought the floor, and the rosyfingered dawn had almost been ushered in before they could tear themselves away from the too seductive pleasure. No 455 was the ucky number that won the elegant silver tea service, a most handsome and valuable souvenir “ The net receipts of the evening amounted to some $150. The hearty pleasure of the evening cannot be measured in dollars and cents; suffice it to say that the celebration of flic Purir > this year stands unsurpassed as a social event, radiant with all the pleasing elements of success. To the worthy president of the association, S. Marx, much of the credit is due for the happy outcome; his time and attention have been treely given to the work of preparation. Regret w ould rule the mind to think that the Purim of ’86 was so soon over, were it not that anticipation can even now look forward to that of ’87 as an event to crown the pleasure of the year. DISTRICT COURT. * Judge Williams Again Sustains the Respondent's Objections in the Speight QuoWarranto. In accordance with the judge's announcement, yesterday, the trial amendment filed by M. C. H. Park, Esq , in behalf of the relator in the quo warranto proceedings against Gen. J. W. Speight, was heard at 12 this morning. The trial amendment set up that the office of alderman of the city of Waco was one of emolument, as was also the office of surveyor of McLennan count)'. Mr. Warwick Jenkins, counsel for Gen. Speight, objected on the following grounds: r st. Because the amendment sought to amend a pleading which on general demurrer had been held totally bad and there was nothing before the court to amend. 2d. Because an information based on a sworn statement could not be amended, except as it followed and was supported by the sworn statement. 3. Because this trial amendment did not follow’, but was made independent of the sworn statement of therelator. Judge Williams sustained the above exceptions and the proceedings to oust Alderman Speight will have to be commenced again. . ALDERMANIC NOMINEES. Mr. W. H. Grider Nominated in the Second ward East Waco Fail* to Nominate. SECOND WARD. The meeting in the Second ward, to nominate a candidate for alderman, on the antiperquisite platform, was not very, largely attended, but nevertheless a nomination was made. The nominee is Mr. W. H. Grider, one of the present board of aldermen. FIFTH WARD. * In the Fifth ward, at the hour for which the meeting was called, there were not East Waco voters enough present to furnish a ballot apiece for the candidates who desired to represent that section of the city in the council chamber. After a season of waiting, enough citizens, including perquisiters and antiperquisiters and Brooklynites and West Wacoites, came in, to keep the candidates from feeling lonesome, and the meeting instead of being strictly an antiperquisite one, was transformed into a general ward meeting. Addresses were made by Mr. JameyB. Baker, candidate for mayor, and by Messrs. W. M. Bell, W. J. Cassiday, A. E. Osborne and F. M. Makeig, who aspires to an aldermanic seat. .Major J. F. Herbert announced his withdrawal from the race. Mr. Baker’stalk was strong and conservative and was highly commended. It w as decided to postpone the matter of nominating an aldermanic candidate indefinitely. THIRD WARD. In the third ward there are already signs of disaffection among the antiperquisite men and a petition was in cirdilation this morning, requesting Mr. George Dutton to become a candidate, on the antiperquisite platform, for alderman. This petition is gotten up by those who express a want of confidence in Mr. Tom L. Smith, the present incurnbent, and also the nominee of the antiperquisite third ward meeting of Saturday night last. This action, upon the part of those who oppose Mr. Smith, will be likely to cause a decidedly lively campaign in the third ward. Galveston, March 22.—Yesterday a young man named Fred Gould and two boys, Edward and Harry Dippe, found several old Confederate shrapnel shells in a lagoon near the city. Fred removed the plugs while the Dippe boys, after soaking the shells in a bucket of water, shook out the bullets. Several of the shells had been thus treated, when Fred picked up one which he remarked would be difficult to open. The plug was covered with a lead cap, which he sought to remove with a hatchet and an old file. Mrs. Dippe was seated on the back gallery watching Fred as, with the shell between his knees, he worked away with hatchet and file. Tlje Dippe boys were standing in front a few feet from him when suddenly the old file struck fire. There was a flash, an explosion, and Fred Gould lay dying on the ground,with a great rent in his side and his leg filled with bullets and his face blackened with powder. He lived about twenty minutes. Fragments of the shell tore through the house from rear to front, carrying away the sashes and making great holes in the weather boarding.

Marshall, March 21.—Matters remain quiet in the strike situation. The local committee of Knights of Labor received a dispatch from Grand Master Workman Powderly, but they will not give the slightest intimation as to its contents, or whether Mr. Powderly is coming here. Mr. James Cash, one of the Gouldsboro or New Orleans committee, returned home last night. Mr. John J. McGrath, the other member, remains here for further consideratjpn of the Hall matter. Mr. C. A.

The murderer has killed three men, wounded several, and has shot several horses. The barn which is now burning was with its contents valued at $6,000, and belonged to C. P. Johnson, one of the men killed. Later news says the barn in which the desperado had concealed himself was set on fire about half past five last night. Afire was then opened on Johnson and lie wes killed by falling into the flames. When the fire had subsided his body was found in a large pile of oats, and the body was found riddled with bullets. Little Rock, Ark., March 22.— About 2 o'clock this morning the northbound Iron Mountain passenger train was stopped at the long trestle, two miles south of Little Rock by the discovery that the trestle was burning. It was soon destroyed and the train had not arrived at 10 o’clock this evening. It is believed that the fire was the result of incendiarism. Denison, March 22.—Sunday night, after midnight, a body of . men, 150 strong, marched to the Missouri Pacific shops and took charge. Most of these men were masked. They killed all the passenger engines, the stationary' engine that runs the machinery at the various shops, turned out all the water in the tanks and disabled several engines and other machinery and pumps. It is said they also hunted for Master Mechanic Clark, saying they wanted to hang him, but failed to find him. Mr. Hartigan, superintendent of the Missouri Pacific, was sent for by somebody' and promptly proceeded to the shop, but the* crowd had left before he arrived. By prompt action on his part and the assistance of a few loyal employes, he succeeded in resuscitating two of the engines be* fore they were dead. St. Louis, March 22—The executive committee of District Assefhbly No. 101, Knights of Labor, consisting of Chairman Irons, and members from Texas, Kansas and Missouri, announced this evening that they had rejected the proposition embodied in Mr. Hoxie's letter to Govs. Marmaduke, of Missouri, and Martin, of Kansas, as being too vague and unsatisfactory'. Their formal reply has not yet been prepared. They' will now take steps to secure the aid of merchants in a further effort to arbitrate with Mr. Hoxie, and a committee to that end has been appointed, who will call upon the merchants for their assistance. Chairman Irons was asked: "What are the chief objectionable points in Mr. Hoxie’s letter. “I do not care to express myself upon that subject at present,” said Air. Irons. "The papers we arc preparing will cover all that.” “Have you decided upon any course in case all of your efforts toward effecting a settlement fail ?” “Not definitely.” “You will probably extend the strike? ” “Yes, 1 suppose so. The strike will be extended all over the Gould system.” “When will this he done?” “That depends.” It is understood on inside circles this afternoon that the Knights of Labor on the entire Gould system, which includes the Wabash and touches as far east as Toledo and Detroit, will go out at 6 o’clock tonight. This, however, has not been positively determined upon, but it comes from good enough authority to give it publicity. A good deal, however, will depend on the action of the merchants with whom a committee is conferring this afternoon. Adams' Tutti Frutti Is a fine chewing gum and aids digestion.

The Masques and Masqueraders—The Winners of the Prizes—The Elegant Banquet and Joyous Dance—A Highly Creditable Success. Centuries ago, when Jehovah's chosen people triumphed over their enemies and compassed their destruction, the Jews had "light and gladness, joy and honor,” and they set apart the days of their gladness as a' festival to be observed by their descendants through all ages. With a fidelity to the traditions of their ancestors, for which the race is noted, they annually celebrate with fitting rites the triumph of Queen Esther and the faithfid Mordecai. From year to year the Purim ball is an occasion when each hour is roseate with pleasure, “every moment jeweled with joy.” This season, as always, it was a characteristic success. The opera house fftior at an early hour held a gay throng of maskers and the dress circle was completely filled with pleased and interested spectators. The costumes ranged from regal to grotesque, the royal purple and the motley garbs being mixed in merry confusion. Some of them were triumphs of the costumer’s art, rich in texture, elaborate in design, while others seemed to have been brought from the realms of the grotesque, and were ludicrous in their whimsical caprices. Among the many that caught the eye and pleased the fancy were the following: Watson Evans as “Red Rover of the Seas;” Miss Nettie Anderson, “Italian girl;” Miss Hortcnse Herz, “Cards;” Miss Bessie Levine, “Starry Night;” Miss Fannie Wise, “Magician;” E. Roller, “American Knight;” Miss Maud Hillen, “Quakeress;” Annie Hillen, “Flower Girl;” Oscar Ragland, “Mephistopheles;” the Misses Lewine, “Equestriennes;” Mrs. Chas. Shapera, “Spanish Lady;” Miss Pauline Kuttner and Miss Rhoda Brelsford, “Pop Corn Girls;” *A1 McKccn, “Prince;” Martin Cheesman, “Knight of the French' Court;” besides a host of others fittingly arrayed as became the time when Mounts ruled the hour. Mrs. Joe Lew •ine, in a dainty costume, filled to perfection the role of “Lady Photographer” and carried off the first prize, a beautiful cream and sugar set, for her skillful impersonation. Sol Wcslow, comically garbed as a “Gambier’s wife,” looking for an errant husband, took the second prize for,originality of costume and clever personation. Miss Mollie Marx was distinguished as the young lady most active in selling tickets and earnest in her efforts to promote the success of the evening. Her toilette was one of surpassing beauty, being of shrimp pink satin, with black velvet train, in strictest harmony with the loveliness of its wearer. The noble ladies whose strenuous exertions made the ball of’86 a sweeping success and to whom the lpftiest praise is but a feeble tribute, are Mesdames S. Marx, 11. Alexander, 1. Lovinger, E. Kuttner, P. Lyons, A. Herz, R. Lessing, S. Wise, I. Naman, J. Marx, J. Robinson and B. Haber. At 11:30 o clock the dining room of the New Me Cfelland was thrown open, where a tempting and sumptuous spread, su h as Mr. Hasset alone ca devise, was served and to which the eager pleasure seekers did full justice. Aftetrsupper the dancers again sought the floor, and the rosyfingered dawn had almost been ushered in before they could tear themselves away from the too seductive pleasure. No 455 was the ucky number that won the elegant silver tea service, a most handsome and valuable souvenir “ The net receipts of the evening amounted to some $150. The hearty pleasure of the evening cannot be measured in dollars and cents; suffice it to say that the celebration of flic Purir > this year stands unsurpassed as a social event, radiant with all the pleasing elements of success. To the worthy president of the association, S. Marx, much of the credit is due for the happy outcome; his time and attention have been treely given to the work of preparation. Regret w ould rule the mind to think that the Purim of ’86 was so soon over, were it not that anticipation can even now look forward to that of ’87 as an event to crown the pleasure of the year. DISTRICT COURT. * Judge Williams Again Sustains the Respondent's Objections in the Speight QuoWarranto. In accordance with the judge's announcement, yesterday, the trial amendment filed by M. C. H. Park, Esq , in behalf of the relator in the quo warranto proceedings against Gen. J. W. Speight, was heard at 12 this morning. The trial amendment set up that the office of alderman of the city of Waco was one of emolument, as was also the office of surveyor of McLennan count)'. Mr. Warwick Jenkins, counsel for Gen. Speight, objected on the following grounds: r st. Because the amendment sought to amend a pleading which on general demurrer had been held totally bad and there was nothing before the court to amend. 2d. Because an information based on a sworn statement could not be amended, except as it followed and was supported by the sworn statement. 3. Because this trial amendment did not follow’, but was made independent of the sworn statement of therelator. Judge Williams sustained the above exceptions and the proceedings to oust Alderman Speight will have to be commenced again. . ALDERMANIC NOMINEES. Mr. W. H. Grider Nominated in the Second ward East Waco Fail* to Nominate. SECOND WARD. The meeting in the Second ward, to nominate a candidate for alderman, on the antiperquisite platform, was not very, largely attended, but nevertheless a nomination was made. The nominee is Mr. W. H. Grider, one of the present board of aldermen. FIFTH WARD. * In the Fifth ward, at the hour for which the meeting was called, there were not East Waco voters enough present to furnish a ballot apiece for the candidates who desired to represent that section of the city in the council chamber. After a season of waiting, enough citizens, including perquisiters and antiperquisiters and Brooklynites and West Wacoites, came in, to keep the candidates from feeling lonesome, and the meeting instead of being strictly an antiperquisite one, was transformed into a general ward meeting. Addresses were made by Mr. JameyB. Baker, candidate for mayor, and by Messrs. W. M. Bell, W. J. Cassiday, A. E. Osborne and F. M. Makeig, who aspires to an aldermanic seat. .Major J. F. Herbert announced his withdrawal from the race. Mr. Baker’stalk was strong and conservative and was highly commended. It w as decided to postpone the matter of nominating an aldermanic candidate indefinitely. THIRD WARD. In the third ward there are already signs of disaffection among the antiperquisite men and a petition was in cirdilation this morning, requesting Mr. George Dutton to become a candidate, on the antiperquisite platform, for alderman. This petition is gotten up by those who express a want of confidence in Mr. Tom L. Smith, the present incurnbent, and also the nominee of the antiperquisite third ward meeting of Saturday night last. This action, upon the part of those who oppose Mr. Smith, will be likely to cause a decidedly lively campaign in the third ward. Galveston, March 22.—Yesterday a young man named Fred Gould and two boys, Edward and Harry Dippe, found several old Confederate shrapnel shells in a lagoon near the city. Fred removed the plugs while the Dippe boys, after soaking the shells in a bucket of water, shook out the bullets. Several of the shells had been thus treated, when Fred picked up one which he remarked would be difficult to open. The plug was covered with a lead cap, which he sought to remove with a hatchet and an old file. Mrs. Dippe was seated on the back gallery watching Fred as, with the shell between his knees, he worked away with hatchet and file. Tlje Dippe boys were standing in front a few feet from him when suddenly the old file struck fire. There was a flash, an explosion, and Fred Gould lay dying on the ground,with a great rent in his side and his leg filled with bullets and his face blackened with powder. He lived about twenty minutes. Fragments of the shell tore through the house from rear to front, carrying away the sashes and making great holes in the weather boarding.
