FREIGHT TRAINS ARE MOVING ,
A Final Settlement of the Great Strike
Seams na Far Away as Even
HOPE IN THE EXECUTIVE BOARD.

on AH tlio Ilorulf ) Situation Un

General I < nl > or.
An Adjustment In the Kiiture.
ST. Lot'is , AptII 'J. Tlio views of the
Milking knights upon the Could southwest
system nnd tlielr employers as to the means
by which the Mrlko Khali bo brought to a
close , despite the apparent agreement ar
rived at In New York , seems as far apart as
ever , and a final adjustment Is still m the
future. The knights demand that all these
who struck shall bo taken back in a body ,
and the railroad ofllclals have determined to
re-employ only these actually needed. No
hope Is now entertained , oven by the most
sanguine , that a settlement will bo reached
until the general executive board shall have
arrived from New York and considered the
situation. It Is the opinion of some that this
board will Immediately upon arrival order
the strlko oil and the knight * to make nu
Individual application for work , Others
believe that alter the board shall have become
lully acquainted with the condition of alfairs ,
that some arrangement will be made
whereby all knlchts shall bo re-employed , ar
bitration committees appointed and the llnal
adjustment of illllloultles arrived at. The
large Height houses In East St. Louis have not
> et been thrown open , for the knights are no
less determined to-day than they have been
for a week not to allow any supplies to bo
handled In that vicinity , either by wagon or
by train. The crowds assembled
in thoi rallioad yards hero
this morning are IH large as at any time since
the beginning of the strike , and seem de
termined that the road shall not resume
fielgbt tralllc until their grievances shall bo
arbitrated and settled , No attempts have yet
been made to run ficighttrains this morning.
No disturbances have occurred.
ST. Louis , April'i Tlio Missouri Pacific
ficlsht agents arc receiving freight tills
morning torall points on tlie Could Southwest
system , and the business of thc.io roads Is beIng -
Ing as icguliirly conducted as It was before
t'.ie.strlkc. None of the striking knights have
gone back to work , hut the oillclals say they
have cm ployed a siillielent number of men
since the knights lelt their employ to resume
freight liafllc.
Kvcrything Is quiet up to noon In Hast St.
Louis. The strike ot tlio transfer men ren
ders the reception ot freight at tlio depot im
possible , and no freight tiains have been
blartcd Irom there this morning. Switch en
gines have been running back and forth
"
without Interference. A "heavy snow storm
Is now falling , ana the crowds nrouim the
relay depot and railroad yards have de
creased consldeiably since early this morn-
llll : .
The transfer men do not any longer , It Is
understood , excuse their action by saying
they are at'ndd and have been Intimated , but
openly declare that they are laying oil' because -
cause they are in sympathy with the strikers.
In the present attitude of ( he strike the team
sters ol the transfer company seem to hold
thu key to tlio situation. The strikers place
great reliance In the teamsters.
Diligent search and inquiry up to 11
o'clock to-night failed to reveal tlio where
abouts of Secretary Turner and his associ
ates of the general executive committee , and
It Is now regarded as certain that they have
not reached tlio city. Tlio local committees
have been in joint and secret session to-night ,
and at this writing nothing has been leariiuil
of their proceedings.
The indication ! ! now nro that bridge traflle
Will bo resumed to-morrow. The Vandalia
road brought two trains of coal into Hast St.
Louis to-day , and will continue the work
to-morrow. The Oblcago , Burlington vfc
Qiilncy-sent out ono train of empties ami ro-
cujvctl twenty-four cars of merchandise and
twcnty'cars of grain. Decided etforts in at
least " three yards In East St.
Louis will bo made to-morrow
to semi out trains , and If inferfereiico Is of
fered by the strikers there is likely to be
trouble , for It Is understood that the man
agers of the roads nro determined to resist
any further obstruction to trallic by tlio strik
ers , and If the city or county authorities do
not ixltord sulUcimit protection they will fur
nish It themselves.
P. P. Tansoy , manager of the St. Louts
Transfer company , bus notilicd his teamsters
to report for duty to-moriow , with a further
notllicatlon that If they do not promptly respond
spend they need not over report atraln. If
these men still refuse to return to work ,
their nlaces will bo tilled with now
men. Tlio operations of the Transfer com.
pany will bo resumed , freight will bo hauled
across the river by wagon , and ( lie railroads
will have something to move. If lu addition
to this the Brldgo company resume even par
tial operations there will ho an activity and
animation In Knst M. Louis that has not been
seen binco the strlko began. The prospect
for resumption of traflle Is decidedly brighter
to-night ,

Great interest was manifested in the
republican ward primaries hold last
evening , and the various polling places
wore crowded with eager workers and
throngs of voters. Cniulldnlusjfor councilmen -
men wore out lu full lorce and labored
with u will directing their lieutenants
nnd seeing that everybody was supplied
with the "right kind" of tickets. In spite
of the crowds drawn together nnd the
various side thrusts imulo by friends of
rival candidates , everything passed off
peacefully and with the utmost good
feeling. The First , Second , Third and
Sixth wards were where the heavy vote
was cast and the rivalry strongest , the
result being uncertain when the polls
closed at 7 o'clock. AS usual , however ,
the best men caiuo out ahead with colors
Hying , and nt oiieo started on the race
for oloetijjn.
There wcro two candidates for the
nomination for councilman in the First
ward Carl C. Thrane , the present in
cumbent , and Isaac S. llascall. IJoth
men had many friends and cacli was con
fident of success The clerks , however ,
were a long time counting the votes be

both the candidates and their friends in
suspense , the entire vote was r > ! )3 ) , of
which Mr. Thrano received 353 and Air.

John F. Hohm , the present councilman
from the Second , was a candidate for
renomination , and was opposed by Frank
J. Kasnar. From 5 o'c lock until 7 there
was a long line of men steadily casting
their votes for their respective candi
dates , and it required the utmost
patience to wait long enough for a chance
to deposit a ballot. The democrats
evidently took a great interest in the re
sult in this ward , for council mo n of that
political persuasion busied themselves in
peddling tickets for one of the candidates
and also doing him lip service. The total
number of votes cast was 808 , Kaspar re

AMUSI3MKNTS.
The Boston IdcnlH Give Their Second
Grnnd Performance.
From the time the orchestra Founded
the first note of the overture till the cur
tain wont down upon the clo > c of the last
act the audience which witnessed the
"Maid of Honoi" at the lioyd last night
sat entranced. Every note uttered was
drank in and fully appreciated. The
spirit of the mu&ic seome.il to pervade the
souls of every one present nnd all wont
away with a feeling of pleasure. The
music is of an elevating character and
last night made a deep impression. The
harmony of the piece is perfect and as
chord after chord swelled out from the
chorus and was taken up by the soloists
the audience listened In rapt silence.
I'hu performers last night , owing partly
to their own excellence and partly to the
magnificence of the music , succeeded in
touching the hearts of their auditors.
Applause came and. plenty of it
but in each case it was preceded
by a second's sllonco llio highest
meed of praise which can bo given to an
artist. The music , whllu not of a light
character , contains such grand harmony
that it can bo up reciuteilby perhaps tiio
truest lovers of mirsifi llioso who do not
understand the mysteries of its technique.
The action of ! tha opera is spirited
throughout nnd in the first act is both
lapid and harmonious. The mVisio HOWH
along like a river wliloh here and there
falls into euscad.es and breaks the gentle
ripples into wayoloU which only servo to
increase its artistic beauty. Like the
river It presonts"1ts ViclssItudoH and dan
gers. A poor company would fail to float
their boats ovpritibua'iipids , and the piece
would bo a failure. " It is to the credit of
thn Boston Ideals , however , that the most
dillicult portionsiof , the opera were the
onus which wewrendered in the bet
manner. The cotnpnny was greatly
aided by the audience , who were com
pletely oil rapport with the stage , and
from their inner consciousness ss jj
the whole opera in inaudible tones. In
producing an opera like "Tho Maid ot
Honor" the company almost .ispirod to
grand opera , but the result has shown
that their aspirations were fully justified.
Marie .Stono'.s hinging and delightful
methods are too well known and too fa
vorably regarded to need any 'words of
praise. Last night , however , hho rather
outdid herself and added one moro to
the long list of her well-earned artistic
triumphs. Agnes Huutingtou , Who is
enjoying her first season with the Ideals
has placed herself in the front
rank of singers. Her Voice is a true con
tralto , ot extended nmgi * , rich
and mellow ill quality and
so highly cultivated that the
singer gives every nhruso its utmost
musical YivliH' . Oimof the most pleasing
characteristics of her vocalisation js her
c'.ear and distinct eiuiiithuion to which
the perfect ease of her nrticulntion adds
renewed eharm.
Tom Karl has seldom displayml his
sweet tenor to better advantage than in
"The Maid of Honor , " ami was re
peatedly encored. Morsell also came inter
tor his full share of the applause which
ho richly deserved. The cos
tumes of all the characters were
rich nnd historically correct. It
was evident that no pains had
been spared to make the performance a
success , and it was also evident that the
labor had not boon expended in vain. It
is doubtful if an Omaha audience has
ever witnessed a liner rendition of an
opera than the one last evening ,
This afternoon the ever popular Mus
keteers will bo given , and to-night Adina ,
.1 now opera to Omaha playgoers , will bo

Union hold an important meeting yester
day afternoon at W. C. T. LI. Bucking
ham hall. 'Mrs. C. M. Woodward , stale
treasurer , being present , was elected
president pro tern. After devotional ex
ercises the ladies discussed in a business
like manner the election of school direc
tors next Tuesday. The two most im
portant motions were the following : "To
the chairman of the republican commit
tee : Dear Sir , knowing that your honor
able party purpose holding your primary
in a saloon on Twelfth street , and as
many ladies expect to bo present , being
interested in the school directors , and
prefer not to attend a primary in a saloon ,
we , the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union cordially tender you the use of the
W. C. T. U. Buckingham hall for holding
the caucus. " This message was duly for
warded to the. republican"committoe.
The second resolution reads as follows :
That Rev. W. E. Copeland and
Mrs. O C Dinsmoor are most respect
fully suggested bv the W. C. T. U. as
nominees for members of the board of
education.
The ladies are certainly wide awake ,
and there promises to be a largo number
at the polls on Tuesday to vote on the
school question.
Captured and Ilcloancd.
A boarding house at 312- North Tenth
street was entered by a would-be thief
between the hours of 11 and 12
Thursday night. Ho was caught in
the act 'of taking llio clothing belong
ing to one of the boarders out of
his bedroom. The owner of the duds op
portunely woke up and , grasping the sit
uation , jumped to his feet and pursued
llio burglar. Ho seized the intruder and
thereupon a hard seullle ensued. Finally
the burglar managed to break away from
his captor. lie ran outdoors and was
pursued holly by two of the boarders ,
They succeeded in nimiinir the follow to
tlie groundand held him until an ollieor
came it ) ) and look him under arrest. The
fellow pleaded to bo released and linally
the ofllccr consented to let him go. The
boarders in the house which was entered
felt indignant over the release of the bur
glar ami are anxious to have the police
man "investigated. "
"HcnoRty the Hem. I'olioy. "
The driver of car No. 0 , on the Thir
teenth and Cuming street line , whoso
name could not bo learned further than
"Billy , " is an exceptionally honest man.
Thursday evening a gentleman got on
his ear and gave liini a f.'O-ijieeo under
the impression that it was a silver dollar.
The gentleman did not discover his mis
take until yesterday morning , and then
did not know exactly where ho had spout
the money , but thought ho probably had
given it to the driver , asked him , and
"Hilly1 'put his hand in his pocket and gave
it to him , saying Unit ho did not discover
the mistake until the gentleman had
gotten oil * the ear , and then had put it in
his pocket as ho know ho would bo on
his car again. "An easy conscience ) , "
etc. , and if thai driver has not one , il is
strange. Such honesty will , in time , bo
rewarded.

Win : AT Wheat opened strong this morning ,
nt prices fanning Xc better than those ruling
at the close of regular trading yesterday.
Cables were exceedingly warlike , and hostili
ties between about all the minor powers of
Ktiropo were apparently Inevitable. This
was In Itself enough to put prices up , but
with n cold wave milled , the crowd \\ent Into
the pit feeling bullish. Trading In May bo-
Kan on n basis of Sljfo , and ' c bettor was
paid for n quantity. That was the top and
the market gave way , settling slowly nnd
stubbornly nil morning. A stand v\ns \ mtula

traders endeavored to push the price
higher but without avail. The heavy
professionals who nro largely short "stood
pnt , " and they mny possibly have extended
their lines somewhat. Ceitalnly they were
not frightened Into buying. Market cable *
were conflicting. The majority were bearish
in sentiment , but Dunn's advices neru the
other way. Hoard cables , ns iiBiinl , said
nothing. The closing on wheat at 1 o'clock
was W > Vc forMnv , SJJiTo for June , and t4J/c ;

UOUN Corn was firm but not active during
the greater part of the forenoon , but later
trades were made on the basis ot very slight
ly diminished values. The weakness was
generally attributed to the Into weakness In
wheat. Nothing especially now was devel
oped lu thosltuatlon to-day.
OATS"ats were higher early , but prices
subsequently receded to the standard that
picvnlled nt Ihcclosoof business yesterday.
