THE great railroad strike is having a
serious effect on the trade of St. Louis
According to the clearinghouse reports
the trade of the city has been damaged
to the extent of $4.000,000 , and the
St. Louis Republican charges it up
mostly to the bull-headedness of Rail-
Manager Hoxie.

virtue thus promulgated. It has come

THE last act in the Oakland tragedy
was ended on Sunday night by the firing
of the barn in which the murderer An
derson , alias Wright , had taken refuge
and the destruction of the building and
its contents with several head of horses
as well "as of the desperado. The citi
zens that pursued the murderer seems to
hare been lacking a cool headed leader.
There was apparently no necessity for
the sacrifice of the two lives that the
siege cost , nor the roasting of the horses
by the burning of a valuable barn.
Pickets could have been stationed out
of the range of the murderer and the
watch kept up until he appeared. He
would have been forced out of his hid
ing place at a smaller expense to the
proprietor of the premises and the pub
lic and probably without the loss of life.
It would have been merely a question of
time and-the exercise of some patience
on the part of the citizens in pursuit.
