His coming was not entirely unexpected, for he had hardly emerged from the sleeping car, in which he hod passed the night, when he was greeted by Assistant District Attorney Delancy Nicholl and Inspector Thomas Byrnes.

William H. Bartol, of Lang Island, has been remiss in his duty to his family, spending much time in the oodipany of a rfefcudfiouio widow, Mrs. Wallace, whou husband was drowned last summer. On Monday six citizens of Long Island reported to Superintendent of the Poor Baker that Mrs. Bartol was starving. Supplies were at once •istat her. Wednesday Bartol went home, told his wife that he was going to apply for a divorce, demanded that she give him a deed of the house, and becoming infuriated at her reproaches, assaulted her in in It brutal manner, hit her in the month, .knocking her down, kicked her as she lay prostrate, and with horrid oaths threatened her Ufa He kicked her again and again, tearing a wound in her side with his boot, and left her insensible.

But this is duesimply to the faot that the Knights are offering no opposition whatever, and the railroad company has been able to employ n*w men in sufficient numbers to move the traiaa, so that the strike, temporarily at least, has been conquered, but not the strikers, and it will be well to bear this distinction is mind. The most significant and striking development of the day is that the local Knights have, in fact, disobeyed the order of the general executive board. For the first time in its history there has been something like revolt, and this is one of the very critical features of the case with which the general board will have to deal when the members reach here to-day.

An Additional Coast Connection to Bo Built In Texas. New York Jasper  2 2008 1000—8 .0 00101000—a One of the committeemen said, careful to speak as an individual, that he had no doubt that a call would be responded to by the Knights on every road connecting with the Missouri Pacific. The business of taking down the confession was resumed, but was interrupted by the arrival of Judge Qildersleeve, who has known Woite intimately for a number of years. In answer to a question by the judge, Walte said: "I am willing to tell all I know, but I don't know as much as sane people think." Ban Axtonio, Tex., April 3.—The directors of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railway held an important meeting and executed a contract for the building and completion of he road from Beville to Harbor island,forty- ■ five miles; also, for building tike branch to Corpus Christ!

Robertson left Roadsboro, Vt., for Bearsburg yesterday with six French laborers, all going log rolling. When crossing Keith bridge, about a mile from any farm house, the bridge gave way and the men and horses were precipitated into the river. Mr. Robertson and three of the Frenchmen were "We have a larger army at our command than is supposed, and if the very desperate struggle .which I believe is ahead comes, they will come to our rescue." Thg Knights hare say that it is not their fault that the order to go to work has not bef shaved. On tha face ot it, perhaps, it is not, yet thsrs is no doubt that Mr. Irons, in tha order which he issued in accordance with the order of Mr. Turner of the executive board,' practically neutralised his command by the clause which he added, that honor demanded Itillhri should be no discrimination in taking the man back. Mi-. Irons iknaar that there would be discrimination, ana when this morning the committee found that there would be discrimination tbey declined to order the men to work. So that '•unless the railroad managers back down on ithis point, or the Knights do, there win be no change in the condition of things that has existed for nearly four weeks, except that the 3is running new trains. gr* may be another change.

A Decision Involving D800,000. An tntei view with Walte explains the reasons why he stated that he was going to make 130,000 by voting for the Broadway railroad. He rays that when he bought the New London hotel he paid M0,000 in Pullman car stock on it The stock belonged to his mother. He handed the stock to Mr. Haley, who Is now being sued for the recovery of it Waite admits that he had no right whatever to give the stock to Haley, and that his brother has brought suit to get it back. His Connecticut creditors bothered the life oat of him, and in order to stave them off, he told them to wait, as he was going to make a strike of $30,000 by voting for the Broadway franchise. "I told Congressman Brandagee, my counsel, that I waa to get $90,000," said Mr. Waite; "I told Sheriff Morris I was to get money for my vote- I told Mr West I This means, of course, ultimately, a general railway strike. It may be wild, unjustifiable language, but it was used. The committee. however, would not go so far as that They were in session some four hours, and kept the wires busy. They were in commiftuoation with Knights at every point in the Southwest railway system, and evidently sought advice from Knights elsewhere. It is believed that they telegraphed the executive board, who are now on the way to St Louis, and received a response from them. As a result of their own deliberation, and unquestionably fortified by the opinions received by telegraph, thj com mittee issued the address from which the words quoted at the head of this dispatch were taken.

Mr. Waite goes on to say that Jim Richmond and Fire Commissioner Van Cottsecured his nomination as alderman to the 1884 board. He tokl Richmond he would help to get the Broadway road through if he. was nominated. When the election for president of the board of aldermen of 1884 was about to be held he made an arrangement whereby be and his Republican colleagues shouM vote for William P. Kirk if Kirn would agree to let Waite appoint the railrciad committee. This deal went into effect Waite appointed the committee, and as Jim Richmond was his friend, be selected men whom he could work, and got anything through that he wanted. He appointed Miohael F. McLoughlin chairman of the oommittee because he was the easiest man to handle and also because HcLoughlin knew Richmond. He appointed the other members of the committee because he knew that every man of them had his price. "But I will say that in my whole connection with this Broadway railroad matter," says the ex-alderman, "Richmond has never in any way, shape, form or manner spoken to me and offered me, directly or indirectly, any money whatever. My reward was to have been appointed as fire commissioner, and that had been my ambition for many years. This office was also promised to me by Commissioner Van Cott Somebody must have told the railroad committee that I know Richmond very well, because it was remarkable how they obeyed anything in connection with the Broadway road.

Address of the Knights of Labor Stating St. Louis, April 1.—As showing the sincerity of the railroad managers in their treatment of the Knights of Labor, we respectfully state that pursuant to the order of our general executive board we this day sent committees to the managers of the several railroads offering to return the men to work. In no instance would they be received or treated with, each official in turn jither refusing them a bearing or evading thein with specious subterfuges for direct answers or refusing them employment.

Boston, April 2.—Three years ago the Augustinian society, of Lawrenoe, an association of Catholic priests, failed with little or no assets, owing depositors nearly 9500,000. Ellen Leahey, a depositor, sought to hold Archbishop Williams, of Boston, as an undisclosed pr incipal, and secured a favorable verdict in the superior court The archbishop took exceptions which the supreme court has just sustained on the ground that them was no validity in the alleged contracts between the ohurch and the depositors. New York, April 2.—The case of Quincy A Vinal as administrator of William L Burt vs. the Continental Construction and Improvement company of Connecticut for $1,0)0,000, which has been ou trial in the Uniteri States circuit court at Albany, Judge C'oxe presiding, for several days past, was ended yesterday by the court, on motion of counsel, directing the jury to bring in a verdict for the defendants. n|naHim ** individuals, many of them do not ht«it«te to say that the New York conference reeaitol in a complete backdown, and that if it to followed out it breaks forever the pofcsr of the Knights of Labor throughout the soutbwestern country. Several have said that there Is no question that Qonld and dqpie have determined now to break the Knights of Labor, and rid the roads these captalisti control of all possible chance of trouU* with the organisation now before the Knights l ecome any stronger. One wall-infofraed man said that when Gould and Hoxie have finished with the Knights, their next step would be to crush out the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers .On all the ' linos of their southwest,eru system. It is plain that these men i believe that the great and vital struggle bevfc*»en labor and capital, which they think sure to come, ha* begun here, and that the preliminary skirmishing is now taking place. It to plainly a mortification to the Knights fee?* fchat they have (ailed to arouse the full imxmii of sympathy among Knights elsewhere which they expected to receive. There have bean other and more significant indications ct this than the public is yet aware. It to a fact that the secret circular oKllg.

Lawrence, Mass., April2.—In April, 1882, David Winters bought a ticket from Boston to Chicago over the New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad. He got off at Olean, N. Y., and boarded a late train. Not having a stop over check he was put off the train at Allegheny, Pa., and received injuries to the bones of the wrist which became chronic. He sued for damages here and the jury has rendered a verdict for plaintiff in $0,588. Center Harbor, N. H, April 2.—Burglars entered the postofflce here, blew open the safe and escaped with $400 In money, securities amounting to $4,000 and a quantity of postage stamps. The stolen property belonged to Postmaster C. H. Canney. There i$ no clew, although it Is supposed the robbery was committed by a gang which has burglarized the postoffices at Epeom, Weare and Felton recently. Persons living near the office heard the explosion, but thought it was thunder. Now we appeal to a candid and suffering public, on whom is falling all the weight of thus great uonflict, if we have not been deceived enough. How much is long suffering labor to .bear? This great strike never would have baen had Mr. Hoxie condescended months ago to hear our complaints. We dc not claim to be more than human. It should not be expected of us to be more than human.

In this country position makes 110 man king or slave, and imporious refusal on the part of one citizen to confer with other citizens with whom he may have business connections. when Buch refusal begets groat business and social revolution, is not only a mistake, but a crime against the public. Mr. Gould is invoking the law against little criminals, who are made desperate by his policy of duplicity and oppression. Yet a terrorized public does not invoke the law against the arcb criminal of the land. If we cannot be allowed to return to work, the strike must go on. Commissioner Sparks' Work for March. Washington, April 2.—Commissioner Sparks has canceled for fraud during the month of March seventy-six homestead, preemption and other entries, and held for cancelation upon the same grounds 129 entries and filings, embracing in all about 30,000 acres of land.

This information, coupled with the disappointment at the result of conferences in New York, has greatly exasperated the men, and the committee believe that they are justified in ordering out Knights on all the connecting lines. If the Knights elsewhere respond a general railroad strike is inevitable. If the Knights do not respond, there will be very serious disaffection in the organization. General Market*. New You.
