Mr. 'Wicker said the large houses were in the heat position, for they have been able to send crews of their own men out with teams'to take the places, in a* meaaure, of the atrikera. Continuing, he aald: "Indeed I have no doubt that after Sunday the atationa will be inasgood order aa if no strike had occurred. An exception should be made in the case of the lumber traffic, which has been affected by other Influences than the freight handlers' strike,and it is difficult to estimate what their loss will be."

E. a Dodd, D^trolUJldich.: I am glad you recognize tbe imperative neceaslty, as you properly term it, of some legislation to relieve the financial condition of tbe state. This necessity is not only imperative, but it is immediate. The general appropriation bill is not yet a law, and cannot become such until signed by the officers of the senate in the presence of a quorum, as* the constitution provides. The deficiency bill has not yet been passed and the total amount to tbe credit of the general revenue fund it to-day 130)088.70. Unless a quorum can be secured in the senate to pass the house bill, authorising the loan to meet oapual deficiencies, the state will go to protest before the end of next week.' I answer you with this detail, that you and your associates may not lack fall information as to the consequences of continued absence, and in the belief that you will not assume the responsibility of persisting in such a course. So far as a guarantee of terms as to how the president of the senate shall rule upon certain questions, I cannot speak, and would not if I could, exoept to suggest that there are oertainly more legitimate and better remedies for any such ruling as you seem to fear, than to obstruct the legislature and all other departments of the state government by abandoning your seats and fleeing from the state.

Also Mr. Titus, one of the most responsible grip men on the cable road, because of his "ingratitude in going on strike."

The Baltimore and Ohio switchman were visited by a committee of striking freight handlers, who asked them to go out The switchmen declined to comply with «he arequest The Baltimore and Ohio freight houses are still closed. The Michigan Central has increased its working force to sixty ■ten and a few clerks. The striking freight handlers on the Illinois Central hare drawn their pay. The freight houses of the company an manned by clerks. The switch tinders on the road are still out The Wabash has its full quota, and claims to have turned away applicants for work. The Qrand Trunk house was manned by Italians who, with the help of an interpreter, ■ were vainly struggling to bring order out of general chaos. The Chicago and Atlantic has put its clerks to work in _he freight house. The Louisville, New JAlbany, and Chicago and the Eastern Illinois, did a small business with their force of clerks. The lake Shore imported eighty men and put them at workunder police pro; taction. The Rock Island claims to have twenty-five of the old men back, and says the rest are blacklisted. The Burlington was in betterlhape than at any time since the strike began. The Alton, Panhandle, and Fort Wayne roads did business in a small way. Mo oases of interference or violates were reported on any lines. The men make the point that the black list was a direct blow at their organisation, because most of the men were to be dismissed solely because they were active union men. THE TRADE OUTLOOK. It is reported that McCormick, who depends largely far his castings on the Malleable iron works, isfMwing uneasy lest he be compelled to shut down, owing to the big strike at the iron worka. There is little hope of the atter starting up for SOtne time yet, and it is said McCormick's stock of oasttags is almost »*h—ted. At the reaper factory 1,900 men are at work. Nearly all the oople* of the mayor's proclamation. wbieh wan pasted on the dead walls in thin portion of the city, have been torn down. THE JANITOR INDICTED.

New Jersey's Hjiterlooa Harder Case In Court. New York, May 8.—Special telegrams to Bradstreet's indicate that the general trade situation is less favorable than a week ago. This is due mainly to the partial paralysis of business at Chicago, as well as to the disturbed . industrial situation at Milwaukee, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Baltimore and elsewhere. At Chicago, no business of a wholesale character worth mentioning has been done. The few mail orders received have been hung up, and merchants generally are awaiting the settlement ojpabor troubles. A noteworthy incident is the determination of Chicago metal, furniture works and lumber yard employers to shot down rather than aooede to what they regard as unjust demands. A similar spirit is displayed at Louisville. The movement of merchandise at leading cities east and west has been checked by the industrial troubles. Bradstreet's telegraphic inquiries indicate that 835,000 nun have taken part in the short hour movement, that 175,000 have struck and that 150,000 have received concessions without having to strike. Some 35,000 have gained their ends by striking. It is likely that the apparent ready compliance with the eight or nine hour demand may be cheeked by the attitude of the western employers already referred to. The outlook for nu early or general clearing away of ind'wtriil disturbances is-not bright The CD') :i • ticj money markets are generally dull aim easy, with loan rates unchanged. The winter wheat plant continues in excellent condition. Spring wheat planting is nearly finished, and prospects for a crop are good.  Backxttstown, N. J., May 8.—The grand Jury, with Foreman James Vliet at its head, Bled into the court roesn- Foreman Vliet said the jury desired some instructions as to what or how much testimony it was necessary for them to receive to justify a presentment Chief Justice Beasley said it was not their duty to try the case, hut that they cou'd found their decision upon testimony sufficient onlyto satisfy them and to make a prima facia case. The jury then retired. At 3:85 the jar; reappeared, and Foreman Vliet handed to the clerk a bundle ofpapers. Judge Beasley picked out from the bundls one of the papers, read It, and handed it to his associates to read. It was an indictment against Janitor Titer on j*hree eoonts; first, for assault and jnuroti; second, tor- murder while attempting rape; third, for murder by strangulation. The grand jory was then discharged. 0 - •*. 1 The Republican senators met yesterday at U a. m.

Captain O'Donnell made a raid capturing JameC Turck at his rssideace. In his house was louod one long mnssle-loadlng shotgun, one quarter keg can of poaMsr, a bundle of German Anarchist newspapers, a lot of pamphlets bearing the name of Johann Most, and much other evideooe that the owner belongs to ihat dangerous class of Socialists-for whom there is now no rest or safety in Chicago. Three rears ago, Turok was the treasurer of a Bohemian Anarchist paper and is said to be this secretary of a military Anarchist body now existing in Chicago. He is rather tall, with an Intelligent face. ~H* has a wile and seven children. Another Anarchist was arrested with him. The police discovered a lot of dynamite, two guns and numerous cartridges. When brought into the station hi* face ban a ghastly, yellowish-white complexion, and he was so frightened that he could not give his name and almost fainted from fear! He finally gave bis name a* William Seiiger, SI years of age and a oablns tmaker by trade. Mrs. Parsons, the wife of A. It Parsons, called on Sheriff Hancbett and asked permission to see Spies and the other Anarchists. She was refused. Mrs. Parsons appeared to be oosnptetely broken down and tier face bore traoee of weeping and sleepless nights. Rudolph Schaunboldt, a brother of Editor Schwab, was arrested, and an attempt was made to elicit from him information regarding the whereabouts of Parsona He was afterwards let go. The search for Parsons is going on industriously though quietly. "We are sure to catch him," said Lieut Kipley, "though we have not got him. I am not prepared to say that we know just where he it, but be can't get away. livery policeman in. town knows him, and you may be confident that we will get him." Thirty thousand tickets have been issued for the concerts to be given by the Balfe Musical club at Lion park, on Sunday afternoon, May 16, for the benefit of the strikers. None of the old hands went back to work or applied for work yesterday, so far as is known. Titas, who was visited in the jail soon after the indictment was found, seemed to be thoroughly broken spirited. His face is haggard and wasted, "fte news ot the finding of the grand jury sproad like wild firs through the town. The feeling evoked war one of satisfaction that the elrcqmstanoee of the brutal murder were to be thoroughly investigated by a court of law. Munnich and Hiring, the two young men who were at first suspected of the crime, returned to Hackettstown this morning. They remain under the original bail of $500 each to appear as witnesses at the trial. It is said that the grand jury stood unanimous for conviction with the exception one man. It ie not known who this man is. One of the jurors is a relative by marriage of Titus, hot It Is said he was not the man who voted to find no Indictment The trial will not take place until the September term.

Chicago, May a—In a lata mail la*t night The Daily News received a letter from A. R Parsons, the Anarchist leader, fur whom the police are ostensibly scouring the city and of whose whereabouts they claim to have found no traoe. The communication is undoubtedly genuine and-is designed by Parsons in reality as a notice to his fsllow Socialists that he is not deterred at all in Ms course by the arrest of Spies Dnd the other leaders. He points out with accuracy the movements of the officers in trying to find him, ridicules them and denounces vengeance on the head of the A Midnight Kaltl.

Pittsburg, May &—Considerable excitement was caused in West End, Pittsburg, and the lower wards of Allegheny City, by the appearance of a number of strangers who hurriedly passed from house to house and street to street, placing circulars in every doorway and handing them to passers. Investigation showed the contents of the circulars to be identical with tboje distributed by the Anarchists in Chicago and Cleveland.

Trkntow, May 8.—The arguments in the appeal of the state from the recent decision of the supreme court in Betting aside as unconstitutional the railroad taxation act of 1884 closed in the supreme court yesterday. The court adjourned until May 17, when it will hold a conference and agree upon a decision. The general opinion is that the supreme court's decision will, be reversed. In this case the matter "sHU go back to the supreme court for Adjudication as to the claims made by the railroad* that the enforcement of the law has been unjustly and improperly done. These are' minor questions, however, and the ultimate result of revival of the decision will be that.
