II lgCgAgents Butterick's Patterns and Hercules The State of Affairs at Various Points No Strike Here.

Although we were positively assured that a strike at East St Louis would mean a 6trike at Decatur, the event has proved the falsity of this supposition. There has been no strike here, and we have inside information that there will be none. The K. of L. are very much interested in the success of tneir brethren at St Louis and, either by lodge action or by concert of individual members, are sending aid to the St Louis strikers.

The lodges here are very ninch in sympathy with the mu at St. Louis and hope for their success. The moving of another freight train ou tl)H Missouri Pacific was accomplished yesterday with much less riotous de motistratioiis by the crowd thaii heretofore. An engine was killed ai Grav's Summit, asnb-rbof St Louis. ihe switchmen on the Wabash west went back to work, ss there was to need for their striking.

The Vh.i i lia and C. B. roads eachsucc ed in getting out a train from Etci bt. Jji uis. At Atcaison the sheriff was ovt- -powered by a number of men wl-o killed an engine.

Some discouragement is felt and expressed in parts of Texas, but th-knights everywhere still say they ar-determined to stand firm and figLi to the last The presence of large bodies of po lice and special officers and detectives at St mis has overawed the crowd and no riotous demonstrations were attempted. The crowd has be come spiritless and does very little shouting. The specials who rode with the freight train yesterday were armed with Winchester repeaters and double-barrelled breech loaders. Martin Irons, chairman executive committee of says that if the strike is not settled soon it will ex tend all over the United States, and that it will effect private corporations as well as railroads. He says that the railroads are responsible for all the lawlessness, and that the mob which follows in the wake of strikes does the business.

He says the K. of L. have strict orders to do no such thing. Chief Arthur of the B. of L.

E. says that the brotherhood has nothing to do with the strike and discounte nances it He says the brotherhood has always fou ght its own battles and always will. Asked his opinion of the future of the Knights of Labor, Mr. Arthur said i will give yon my views, strikes means taxation, for the men who are out of work must be paid, or they desert the order. Taxation mouns excessive burden upon the order, which must be severely felt and prove an unbearable load.

It has been the history of every order which went into strikes wildly, whose sole purpose seemed to be to strike, that they have' gone to pieces after a few yoars. Take the most powerful unions which have for a time dominated affairs in New York and Pennsylvania. here have they gone? lou never hear of them now. They have all gone down because of strikes. It seems to me that the Knights of Labor will go the same way." Sedalia, Mo.

A freight train was moved eastward without molestation. Trains come in from St Louis. There is no doubt that a large number of the strikers are anxious to go back to work as soon as they are sat isfied that they will not be molested and the break made in the ranks will be followed by most of them. Piedmont, reports a northbound freight on the Iron Mountain. At St Joseph, the striking switchmen have returned to work.

Cairo, 111., reports sixty cars of freight leaving on the Iron Mountain for the south in 24 hours. At Marshall, Texas, 215 men are at work in the shops. At Palestine, Texa-, an engine was ditched. Many strikers are under arrest for contempt of court. At Deuison many similar arrests have been made.

One freight train was sent north and two south by the Missouri Pacific Thirty meniD the Union depot shops at St. Louis struck yesterday. The general boycott on wholesale merchants at Galveston is unheeded. The Tea-liei Lectured. Rev.

Geo. B. Yosburgh lectured before the teachers at the High School building yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock. His theme was "Industry and Energy as Elements of Success." He made the point ttrit industry is essential to hnppiness, that success is impossible wituoutit He reinforced his argnmaut by various citations from scripture, and proved it by illustrations ftoin the lives of great men. He dwelt, long upon energy as an indispensable quality.

He exhorted all to take a cheerful view of life and to work unceasingly. "There is no place for a lazy man," said he, "certainly no place on earth. The devil don't want a lazy man and he wouldn't be any good in heaven. He wou dn't even jo.n in the hallelujah chorus and would be too lazy to play his harp. He would want the Lord to gite him a ptteut music box with an angel ortvoto wind it up, and then he would go to sleep while it was playing the first tune." DIED.

TV Reason WhyProceedings of Last Night's Council Meeting. The adjourned meeting held by the city council last night was noteworthy because it revealed, as some of the aldermen believe, a scheme to thwart tne wishes of a great majority of tne people of Decatur with reference to street paving.

What grounds the belief is founded upon will appear further on. The council met at 8:30 o'clock, with Mayor Kauan presidiag. The roll call showed that all the aldermen were present except Wayne, who is still out of the city. The proceedings follow: PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS. A petition from T.

Peniwell for permission to erect a sign post in front of his grocery store on North Main street, was referred to the Sidewalks and Crossing committee with power to act. A petition from J. R. Daugherty, for permission to peddle notions in the city without payment of license, was granted. A dopo itiou made by Fred.

J. Smith, iu which it was set forth that an error had been made in assessing lot 2, block 4, was referred to the city attorney. CLAIM REFERRED. The claim of B. Tuttle for $11.42 was referred to the city attorney.

PAYING FOR THE PLANT. The following was introduced by Aid. Oskes: Kesolced, That a warrant for the sum of $2500 be drawn in favor of the Jenney Electric Light company, in payment 9f the first installment on the electric light contract The point was raised that there was only 2304 in the "lighting the city" fund and that therefore a warrant for the sum named could not b9 drawn. On mo tion a warrant for 12300 was ordered drawn, and Aid. Ehrnian was in structed to arrange with the National bank for the payment of the remaining $200.

PRINTING THE REVISED ORDINANCES. The advertisement for bids for printing the revised ordinances brought only a single bid that of Burgess, Trainer Co. The bid was accepted and the city attorney was ordered to contract with mat firm to print and bind 250 copies of the ordinances. The cost will be about THE PAVING COMMISSIONERS. The paving commissioners submitted amended estimates of the cost of improving by grading, paving, gut-teriug, etc.

the following streets: North Main street, between the Old Square and the Wabash railway. East Cerro Gordo street, between North Main street and the west line of Morgan street. North Park street, between North ater and North Franklin streets. South Water street, between East Main and East Wood streets. West Main street, between the Old Square and North Church streets, ESTIMATES.

The estimated cost of improving North Main street between the old square and the north line of William street is $5,839.84. Of this amount holders of private property are assessed $3,848.76, or about $3.57 per front foot The estimated cost of improving North Main street 'between William street and the railway is $8,997.37. Ihe cost to the private property own ers is estimated at $6,403.12, or about $2.77 per front foot The estimated cost of improving North Park street is $1,920.08 The estimated cost to the private property owners is $092.90, or about $2 G6 per front foot. The estimated cost of improving Cerro Gordo street is $13,968.10. Estimated cost to owners of private property is $9,795.38, or about $2.82 per front foot.

On the block on West Main street between the old square and North Church street the estimated cost of the improvement is $2,164 97; estimated cost to owners of private property, $1,896 90, or about $4.21 per front foot. The estimated cost of improving the block on South Water street is estimated cost to owners of private property $2,892.80, or $4 52 per front foot The estimates were approved and ordered placed on file. Resolutions instrnct'ng the city attorney to file petitions in the county court for proceedings to assess the cost of improving the streets above named were adopted. A resolution was introduced for each street, and each resolution was adopted by the following vote: xeas Uurtee, Jwman, mcuienan, Muzzy, Oakes 5. Nays Ferguson, Gogerty, atarr andWhitsel 4.

AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION. The following resolution introduced by Alderman Durfee was adopted also by a vote of to Aldermen Ferguson, Gogerty, Starr and Whit- sel voting nay: Resolved. That the city cierK oe and is hereby authorized to advertise for bids for paving thAtreet8 for which estimates have been approved Dy this council to date. THE VOTE EXPLAINED. Th action of Aldermen Ferguson.

Gogerty, Starr and Whitsellin voting against the approval of the estimates was impelled Dy a oenei upon tueir part that a scheme had been concocted to so manipulate the paving business that but one route between the old sqnBre and depot the North Mam street route couia De puveu ceived upon the part of certain alder men and interested parties a ue-sire to prevent the paving nf the streets known as the East W'illiam street route. They based this belief largely upon the fact that the commissioners had not reported estimates for any of the Rt.rpptR comDri-iit s- tbisroute. It was nertinentlv inauired whv. if the com missioners were able to report esti-mntati of the cost of imDroving the North Main street, route, they were not alsoable to report estimates on the SOUR ORANGES.

"Spot Cash," M. B. Curtis's new play, was produced at the opera house fast night before a large audience. The play is supplementary to "Sam'l of Posen" but is not so good as its predecessor. Mr.

Curtis creates much i o7 amusemeub ao ouu mo pany gives him very clever support. not be given precedence over the other and stated that he did not want the city attorney instructed to commence proceedings in the county court for the special assessments on one route until he could also commence such proceedings for the levying of the assessments on the other. Aldermau Gogerty spoke in a similar strain He believed a majority of the people were in favorof haviugtheE. William street route ved. He believed it was a more popular route than the North Miia street route, aud he was opposed to taking aay action which might result in the paving of the latter route ai the up town streets to the exclusion of the East William street route.

Aid. Durfee announced that he was in favor of approving the estimates already reported. He did not deem it advisable to deter action because estimates for all he streets were not reported. He iid not be lieve that there was any isire on the part of any alderman or ny of the oity authorities, or on th oart of the commissioners to act unfairly. He believed the commissioners had failed 1 1 estimate the cost of improving the East William street rou'n because of an inability to ascertain the cost of the kind of cobblestone with which it was proposed to pave the route.

It was replied that the commissioners had been given ample time to make their estimates. Aid. Muzzy favored immediate action on the estimates re ported, but he believed the commis sioners were perhaps not expediting their work as much as they might. ihe point was made that the esti mates were at best but a mere formality. The ultimate cost of the improvements proposed depended in no sense upon them whatever they might be.

The estimates were merely for the information and guidance of the' council. The main points in the discussion have been stated. Our readers may draw their own conclusions. Alderman Gogerty after the council adjourned unreservedly expressed the belief that it was the intention of certain parties to prevent the paving of the East William street route at all hazards, and he looked upon the proceedings of the evening as the preliminary steps in a scheme concocted for that purpose. THE SEWERAGE ORDINANCE.

The Ordinance committee to whom was referred the sewerage ordinance, submitted a major ty and minority report. The majority report recommended that the ordinance be so chauged as to provide that all main sewers be built by general and not by district taxation The minority report which was signed by Aldermen Starr and Muzzy, recommended that all main sewers be constructed by district taxation to limits of district and thence to terminus of sewer by gen eral taxation; and, also, that there be no charge for tapping main and lat eral sewers where such are built by special assessment and district taxa tion. The minority report was adopted. At 10:30 clock council adjourned RA1LKOA1) KACKKT. M.

The funeral services of Mrs. Eli Brenneman took place at her late home on South Franklin street at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rev. Geo. B.

Yosburgh officiating. The services comprised prayer, the singing of the hymns "Nearer My God to Thee," "Jesus Lover of my Soul," and "Asleeo in Jesus," the scriptural reading and the funeral sermon. The text chosen by Rev. Vosburgh was from Luke xxiv, 5: Why seek ye the living among the dead?" He said that we can never understand the overwhelming grief of the disciples of Jesus when they saw their Master lying in the tomb. They had been all expectancy, all hope, they had felt sure of triumph, and now tney were confronted by the awful fact that Jesus was dea J.

We can never appreciate the joy they felt when they came again to the tomb, found the stoue rolled awy, i.u saw two calm angels sitting hi the head and the other at the jl of the grave, saying Why seek ye the living among the dind lie is not here but risen." And so ai we ljok into this casket and gee all that remains of her whom you Lve loved and lost, we may repeat the words She is not here; she is risen." This body ii but the house in which sae lived, these hands the same that pressed your- own, these eyes now closed the ones that llashei the glances of love and friendly feeling but slie is far away in the life a id land beyond the stars. The speaker dwelt upju two points, viz 1st, the dead are the truly living: 2d, that they live a better and a nobler life than ours. He then jld of the li of tne deceased, prising its good features, and closed with speaking words of sympathy and comfort for those who mourned. At the conclusion of the services the casket was borne to the hearse in waiting, and the lare gathering of friends took carriages for Greanwo id cemetery where the body was interred. And as far as this earth is con cerned this is the end, except that life in memory ot Kindly deeds and a gentle nature, wuich is the heritage left by the good who die as an inspir atiou to tnose who loved them.
