Piiii.vnru'iiu , Dec. 27. The executive"
committco of the Heading tailroad employes
assembled caly this morning and after a se
cret session decided to lift the great strike
on the Reading system , pending arbitration
with the company. The five crews over
whom the trouble originated aie to be suj-
ported In the meantime by financial aid from
the cmplojcs. This decision was i cached
after a conference with Superintendent
Sweigait. All trains are moving on the
Heading inilrond this morning and no further
trouble Is anticipated. Nearly all cmplojcs
reported for duty promptly at 7 this morning
at the various depots nnd freight jards
as well ns those employed at the coal
wharves at Port Richmond. The work of
moving coal "trains and trnnsfpiilng coal
from the cat s to vessels at the w barf w as at
once begun , and thoto was \cry little evi
dence of the great Sti ike which for the past
few dajs has thie.itened to paialj/o the busi
ness of the entire Heading railway system.
Quito a number of cmplojcs in the vaiious
blanches failed to repoit , but ofllelals state
these have pei haps been celebrating Christ
mas too cnthuslastlcallj'and that their places
will be kept open for them n few dajs.
Uoforo daj light membcis of cveiy Knight
of Labor assembly In the Reading railroad
teirltory was notified to go to work. The
Philadelphia & Reading headquaiteis hcio
presented an animated scene. Hundreds of
non-union men were on hand eagerly wait
ing to bo called by the Reading officials in
ensc their services should bo wanted. Among
the number weio men who belonged to
the Utotherhood of Locomotive Engineeis ,
but who had lost their positions in the dis
astrous strike of 1S > 77 and who are at piescnt
engaged in other industries. They , too , weio
waiting a summons , but their services weio
not needed.
General Supei Intcndcnt Swelgart said this
morning that the statement that ho had
agreed with the Knights of Labor to submit
questions in dispute to arbitration
was incorrect. Ho said that last
evening a committee icpiesenting
the cmplojcs of the company called nt his
office , and ho talked with them briefly re
garding the threatened strike. Hosajs no
agreement was pioposed , either by the com
mittee or by him , and that the committco
loft when ho Informed them he would hold
no conversation rcgaidlng the discluugcd
men. These men , ho said , w ill ncer again
bo cmphned by the company. ,
General Manager McLeod , of the Phila
delphia & Reading railroad company , this
afternoon made the following public an
nouncement : "The report that the Reading
company hadagiced to aibitrato with its
striking cinplojes is absolutely falso. There
is nothing to discuss , much less nibitrate.
The men dischaigcd were not and will not betaken
taken back. The now men cmplo\ when
thu old men went out will not bo dischaigcd
to make loom for old ones , and all the latter
have been notified that If they desire to re
turn to their places they must letuin
to work Immediately and uncondition
ally and all have icturncd. under that order ,
so far ns places weie loft for them. Besides ,
the leaders at Port Richmond w ho hi ought
on the strike , have been discharged arid will
not bo allow ed again in the company's t-er-
vice , "
A ciloalar was issued from the general
office of the Reading company this afternoon
addressed to General Manager McLeod
setting forth that thostiike has developed
the fact that many "old and faithful cm
plojcs have been compelled bjr otheis to join
the organization known ns the Knights of
Labor. " The en cular fuither sajs : "While
the Reading ralhoad company has never ob
jected to its cinplojesoluntanljf connecting
themselves with any labor organization they
may see fit to join , it will piotect thorn at
any cost from being foiced into any union
where their own w ish would bo to lemain
free , and any cmploj o guilty of using any
undue or impiopcr inlluonce to foice men to
join any society iigairst their fico will , will ,
upon ptoof furnished , bo Instantly dismissed
from the set vice and never allowed to rotuin
to it. "
There was great excitement nt the head-
ouaiteis of the executive committco when
the statement of President Corbin become
public. Messages weio sent to the diffeicnt
assemblies at once to consider the matter.
Tlio KiilghtH nnd tlio Brotherhood.
RHVDINO , Pa , Dec. 27. The strike has
developed the exlstaneo of an unpleasant
sentiment between the Knights of Labor and
Biothcrhood of Locomotive cnglnccis. The
latter , it is reliably stated , offeied to furnish
all the men that might bo needed to take out
trains. There nro 175 engineers in the vi
cinity , all Biothcihood men , who weie dis
charged by the former picsident of the
Reading road , FiankliuB. Gowen. Their
places were taken by non-union men , who
now belong to the Knights of Labor. Tlio
hitter were then known as the "subs" and
for a long time there was bitter feelings in
communities against them. The families
\\hosuffcrcdnndthelr sjmpathlseis , have
never forgiven the men who took the places
of the Biothcrhood Engineers. All en-
ginecis cmploj'cd on the Reading road piior
to trouble ot Ib77 aie being heard fiom.
They dcscrvo to leturn.
So piomptly were coal cars taken onto
Poit Richmond and unloaded that tonight
the fiist empts coal trains passed thiough
Reading bound for the coal regions.
The most exciting scenes of the sti ike were
witnessed this nfteinoon when about twentj-
five old brothel hood engineers who were
obliged to leave the company's employ in lSb7
were given engines and permanent positions.
Ther toolt the places of engineers who either
failed to icport because they live too far
aw ay or had icfused to take their engines ,
and weio pcremptoillj' dischaigcd. Every
man who had , during the past week , i cfnscd
to obejoulors or had left his post because of
Knights of Labor 01 ders , weio refused em
ployment. Theio weio ipiito a largo number
of these and some of the appeals to get back
\\eio pitiful to behold. Non-union men ,
icaily to take the stiikcis' places filled Read
ing to-day , from neighboring towns , by
hundreds.
Looked Out.
PoTT3\iiir , Pa. , Dec. 27. From homo
cause the order to the Reading strikers at
this point to return to work did uot reach
hero until the middle of the foicnoonand
when the crews belonging to the Palo Alto
terminus reported for duty , they found that
several trains had been sent out with new
crows , and then were Informed that , under
the ordcts of Manager McLeod , they could
not bo taken on. A meeting of Assembly
7tk9 was called , the assembly was declared
locked out , Port Richmond assembly was
called on to stand by them , and an
appc-al was made to Superintendent
\ \ eigard to countermand the action of .tlio
Palo Alto dispatcher. The committee re-
tut ned to this flty this evening and ro-
IKHted thiU Superintendent Sweizard had in
sisted upon a oereinptorv discharge of the
committee who first waited UJHIII him with
rcfcreuco to the 1'oit Richmond trouble , to
gether with the five crews who refused to
handle Hour cam. The committco consented
to this and then asked that a guarantee that
all othec strikers would bo ro employed.
This Superintendent Sweliard refused , and
the conference abruptly terminated. This
report greatly Incensed the piccling , nnd as
a icsult the committee left hero to-night for
all iwfnts south as far as Philadelphia , and
north to Tamaqua , Shamokin and Mahanoy
Plane , to appeal tg the local asscuiWlcs to
stand bj * the discharged strikers , nnd It Is
expected that n gcnciM tie-up Will be ic-
Inaugurated to morrow.

SIIIMOMV , Pa. , Dec , 27. The Heading
strikers , nt this point , refused to return to

workmen of an assembly nnd several laborers
on the coal docks have also been discharged.
It Is not possible to move the coal or local
f i eight traffic under the piescnt circumstan

Schmidt's Hanging.
A Cruel Community.
Dns Moivr.'i , In. , Dec. 27. [ Special Tele
gram to the Hnn. ] Passengers on the Fort
Dodge train from Ruthvcn were rather sur
prised to hear sounds of fcstlvltj- the
usually quiet town of llmoro. Looking out
of the window their eyes rested upon n
.unique procession that approached the depot.
At Its head walked a hard looking citizen of
about fiftj-jcars of ago , and nt his sldo was a
rather fresh looking , black-eyed young
woman of twcntj- , who was not tlio least cm-
bairassedby her rather unusual situation.
Behind them was a band composed ot a ilfcr ,
a bass drummer , a man with , a hoi n nnd a
boy with n big piece of sheet Iron on which
ho made an unearthly noise. The passcngeis
nt first supposed that this rather f row-sly old
lellowhnd mauled thopictty gtil and the
parade was a chailvail ; but Inquiry devel
oped the fact the girl was a fallen woman
from DCS Moincs who had come to live with
the man while his wlfo was absent
from home ; that she had come
thereat his solicitation ; nnd that the Indig
nant Lit bens were drumming them out of
town. The man seemed heat Illy ashamed of
himself , out the girl was as unconceined as a
bron/c statue. He rode on the tiam to the
next station and got off. She came on down
to DCS Moincs , A passenger on the train
said that the man's name was Cepeilj- , and
that he Invited Minnie Wilson fiom DCS
Moincs to spend Christmas w ith him. The
clti/cns gathered , to the number of about
150 to dnvo them out of town. The band
consisted of one bass chum , tinee sti ings of
sleigh bells , one tin boiler , a piece of sheet
lion , ono dinner bell and a horn. The man
took refuge In a corn crib , but was put on
the train and sent to Foit Dodge. If hoi e-
turns they say they will tar and feather him.
Hillings Confesses to Forgery.
WATEIILOO , la , Dec. 27. The coroner's In
vestigation into the killing of Attorney
Kingsley drags slowly along and will proba
bly not bo completed befoio to-morrow. At
the opening hour Billings was called to the
stand and was questioned until n late hour.
He confessed having forged the signature of
Lawjer Gibson to documents , which , It Is
thought , ho intended to use in extorting
from Kingslcy his signature to the blank
mortgages found with other papers In
Billings' position when arrested. These
included a chattel moitgago on almost every
thing Kingslej- owned , his books , horses and
buggj- , his house and personal propertj- , and
needed only Kingslej's signatuio to place 1 n
Billings' possession proportj'woith soveial
thousand dollais. It is supposed that to so-
cuiotho ncccssarj- signature was Billings'
errand in Kingslov's office on the day of the
fatal shooting. As the investigation pro
ceeds the fi lends of Kingsloy are more loud
in their assertions that the whole affair will
j-et pi eve n gigantic blackmailing scheme.
The largest number of people ever present at
a funeral in Bremer county gathered at the
Methodist chui eh in Waverly to pay their
last respects to the late Attorney Kingsloy.
Kev. Dr. Hoj-co and Rev. Albrook delivered

sj'mpathy for the paiiaiU weeping silently
over the dead body of their son. Followed

gialn convention recently hold In that city
iclatlvo to the condition of nuiopean eeieal

wheat for the j ear lbs Is estimated at 117-

cent o\er the avei ago yield of that country ,
while Ibl.OOO.OOO bushels Is the estimated
jleld of i jo also a consldet able Inci ease.
The crop of oats , however , Is Imully sufficient
to cover the homo demand. In Russia ijo
has jloldcd an aveiago ciop ; birleyisof
excellent quality but the ciop of oats Is poor
and the piospeots of potatoes not \ crjpiom -
ising. In Scandinavian countiies the
luotago amount of wheat Is pioduccd but
lie and oats fall far below the a\ei.igo. The
wheat crop of Italy is poor and the impoit
demand of the country for tlio cereal w ill
amount to about ! IUKKXH , ( , ) bushels. The
coin in op is above the avci age and the count ly

is below. The wheat ciop of Franco Is
largo butn consldetablo quantity of wheat
must be Impoi ted to meet the homo demand ,
as the quantity in stoio Is very limited. In
Great Hi Haiti and Ireland an avoiago wheat
ciop is expected. Tlio total jleld is estima
ted nt fiom (1,500,000 ( to 10,00(1,000 ( quill tois so
that after deducting the seed , 5,000,000 to

homo consumption and the Impoita-
tion of 10,600,000 to 17,000,000
quaiteis will bo icqulied. The English
wheat in stoio Is believed to bo very nearly
exhausted and the foiclgn wheat in stoto Is
quite limited ; b.u ley will jicld 10 per cent
less than the usual nvciago ; oats 15 per cent
less and beans and peas fiom 40 to 50 percent
