under the inter-state" commwco low the other
roads will be obliged-to receive the freight. '
\ . .T , Vallandlngham , general freight soutli-
, vesern afjenj , of the Gulf route , to-night
stated that the road would receive the frolgfit
of the Burlington , eomo what might , nnd the
representatives of the other lines hero
nako the saino stittoracnt. > A
secret incetihg of all tup grievance
committees of the brotherhood between Kan
sas City and Chicago was held hercf to-rilght ,
at whtcli the decision was made that the
strike would be extended the moment the
other roads took the Burlington freight. It
s generally conceded both by the representa
tives of the brotherhood , nnd .tho railways
hero that tl0 | situation Is serious in a marked
degree , and merchants nnd others nro pre
paring for a .railway blockade. The com
pany's ofllcinls claim that the road Is Disrat
ing all l\\o \ \ trains it desires to , and that the
business of .tho rood docs not require
the -number of trains run boforc
the strike. The strikers , as a matter
of course , claim to "bo inoro confident
than ever unel well content to let matters go
ou as they are at present. Ono of the griev
ance committee of the Union Pacillc re-
turucd to-day nnd mailo n statement before
the local committee which greatly encour
aged the strikers. He assured them tnnt the
engineers and firemen nil over the United
States .wero with them , and that the men on
other roads were sending in thousands ol
dollars for their aid. Seventeen thousand
dollars' , .ho said , was received in Chicagc
Monday. "This Is all wo asli , " sold Mr ,
Stevens , in spooking of the matter. "The
money that Is pouring in will .enable us tc
continue tlio strike ns long as we
wish to keep going and to wach the othoi
roads more carefully than ever , and to see
they don't touch any.of the 'Q' business ,
As long ns they do not they will be'nil right ,
but they will do so at their peril. The men
on nil the roads are Ilnn and stand ready tc
obey tlio chief's commands the moment thcj
are issued. As long ns the 'Q1 is doing nc
larger business than at present the strike
will not extend any further. But if the roat
succeeds in running its freight rcg
ularly and in handling anything
like the amount of traftlo that usually goef
over the system , nnd they treat with othei
roads it will bo deen how far the brothorhoot
will dare to go. " The strikers express themselves
solve-s ns very sorry that the derailing of th <
freight near'Nebraska City should have
occurred. Assistant General Superintended
Fitch , of the "Q , " In speaking of the occur
rcnco said : ' 'We know the striking engineer !
nnd ilremcn had nothing to do with thi
wreck for they ' are not that clas :
of men. But theru is always a class of vaga
bonds who take advantage of n strlko to com
mil vandalism , thinking the blame will fal
on the strikers. It Is such men who put the
rail on the track against whom the road hai
to protect Itself. "

that they would handle no Burlington cars.
The compaqy luis as yet taken no action in
the matter. Twenty-five , employes of the

GALEsnuito , 111. , March 7. The fast train
mid the Kansas City express , whl'oh were
consolidated nt Chicago last night , cnmo Into
Salesburg this morning at 0 a. m. ; two noiirs
behind tliuo. At Moudotn liwaa but fifteen
minutes Into. The reason of' the delay was
tliat the train was rUn by a ntftv ongl- .
noer , who did not know the toml , nnd though'
ho was- steered by nn old conductor , ho was
afraid to run nt more than a snail's ' pace.
The divis.ion of the Brotherhood of 'En
gineers located hero numbers about ono hun
dred und thirty memb'crs. Of the Broilier-
hood of Firemen .there nro about the same
number. Ono hundred nnd. eleven 'of the
engineers loft the service at the command of
Chief Arthur. Of them , Division Superin
tendent Ulco said this morning : . "They nro
ns fine a.body of men us can bo found In the
country. I was raised with them , llko them ,
ai l nm sorry for them. " Tlio men likes Mr.
Uiee > , but don't share the norrow.
That they nro .honest is shown
front the fact that they nttempt to "conceal
nothing. They acknowledge that two of
their number returned to the service , of Uio
company , a fact which otbers inoro' politic
would perhaps conceal. But thjl' ( are not
discouraged. They hold meetings-In a housa
Just across the track from the depoj , and hcvo
persuading Committees ntworft night and
day. The mayor has ordered that
they bo not allowed to - approach
the engines. Special police ' with
immense tin stars enforce tKo order. Said
Division Superintendent Hlcothls morning :
" those Wouldn't much asa
"Why , boys put so ,
a straw.across tho-rails to cause damage to
the company. "
The statements of the brotherhood nnd
Ilico diffcr.raatcrlally In regard to the situa
tion of affidrs at this point. Summafi7CJthe (
engineers say that in place of the" 109 out ,
thirty now ones havo'taken their places.
Twenty-two of these are from the east , two
are these who returned to work and others
nro men from the shotts. Yesterday1 , said the
engineers , five freight trains loft hero east
ward bound. Of these' , three-were "pulled
bnck with dend and somewhat scorch6d en-
glues. Two started on the Peorin'branch , of
which ono was pulled backnnrt qn'e burned
at KnoKvlllo. The men who arcroiit sny that
the bollur-makcrs at the shops toll tlicm.they
have , from the tlmo the strike began up to
to-day , had to repair twelve engines burned
by the carelessness of new men/ They claim
from careful counting ns the trains pass the
depot that the company is doing nothing com-
pased with what they used to.
Somewhat different is the story of Division
Superintenelent Rico. Ho is one of General
.Ticket Accnt Paul Morton's correspondents ,
und with nil other division superintendents
seiids'dally reports to Mo'rton and from these
Morton makes up his dally press bulletins.
In n nutshell , nice claims the company Is
doing 50 per cent of the business it did before
the strike , oven counting in the immensellvo
stock business formerly done.
"How is that } " was asked.
"Oh , you know wo had much dead freight
on our hands. "
He claims nil now men , nfter a few trips
over , the road , wllljio fully ns competent
the old men. Ho chilms thlrty-flva freight
trains went out o'f Galesburg yesterday. The
now men when they step from th'eir engines
are hurried Into the depot bulldlgg , sur
rounded by n pose of special "police , escorted
up stairs to a dormitory , where they are safe
from the pleadings of the men ou the oiltsldo.
At this point there- has been tie disorder

Btmi.isT.Tox , la. , March 7. The brother
hoods of engineers and firemen have a griev
ance against liailroad Commissioned Doy ,
Chief Engineer Fowler says n short time age
ho was notified by the legislative coriinilUec
of the brotherhood to prepare to testify 01
send affidavits regarding tlio competency or
incompetency of the men employed to run
Burlington engines since the .strike. Tha
proper affidavits wore sent to Governor Lar
rabeo and the railroad commissioners. Last
Saturday ho was notified that Dey was com
ing to Burlington to look info the matter
He arrived that night. , The brotbjrhdptl
committee endeavored seven times on the
following day to see him , but ho was not te
bo found. On Monday they learncdhu had lef
the city. "Why he had loft without'makiiif
a move in connection with the Inquiry"
said Mr. Fowler , "wo don't' know , but we
propose to find out. "
The strikers hero arc firm nud confident
The Burlington yards nnd depots are guarded
by a largo force of special police. The strik
ers claim the company is doing but ono fiftl
of the burlncss it did before the strike am
say they have tlio sympathy of all business
men , who complain bitterly because the com
pany docs not Buttle with them und thus revive
vivo trade.
"On what do you base , your hopes of sue
cccssl" was asked Chief Fowler.
"On the limited amount of business the
Burlington will have while the strjko lasts ;
on Its inability to handle traftlo from otliei
roads : , on the fact that the now
men varo incompetent , and on the
further fact that ns the engines are
manned by from three to four men , it costs t
great deal more-'to run trains than formerly
The company will soon got tired of this. "
Superintendent Brown , of the Burlingtor
road , is Just as confident tho-other way. He
counted twenty eight freight trains on the
main line and eight passengers nnd eight
freights on the branches. Ho declared there Is
no strike so far as the company is concerned
and that the new men are giving hotter satis
faction ( ban they expected. . He is of the belief
lief that connecting roads will soon be com
> ollcd to handle Bnrliogton cars and freight ,
or suffer heavy penalties , under both state
and intcr-stato. laws.

An Enthusiastic Meeting.
LINLCO.V , Nob. , March 7 , [ Special Tola-
gram to the BED. ] Three thousand enthusi
astic-republicans m this city'filled to over
flowing thb largest hall In tlio city to-night
to bear1 Ben Harrison , of. Indiana. Upon tho'
platform wltli the speaker were seated Judge
Parker , president of the capital city republi
can club , Governor Thnyor and ox-Senator
Snundcrs , of Omaha. Governor Thaycr pro-
sided.
Senator Harrison opened with n review of
the administration. _ Ho had watched , IK >
said , -and the ffnly campaign abortion of the
democrats' In IbS-l that was proven was tlio
fact that there was u largo ; surplus
in i , the treasury. The surplus
was all that worried themfor
they Wfirp not'used to surplus. In Indiana ,
during the days of 'tho lust campaign , the
democrats had oven figured it down that a
grand distribution would give oich ono $8.00
per capita and bccauso the division was not
made there was great disappointment-among
Indiana democrats.
The heaVcnly nnd beatific utterances of
Cleveland on civil service reform ho declared
wore-liot proven in.Indiana. The civil ser
vice had been Immeasurably degraded. . In
distributing patronage CHe.vc.land had kept a
misfit store. A free ballot and o fair count
was , ho said , ttlo paramount question.
Ho compared the vote ? .cast in Georgia
for ten congressmen with votes
cast In Nebraska for three and there were
H.piOlX ) ) more votes civst for the thrc'o In Nob-1
braskd than the' ten In Georgia , while a pub
lic sentiment in the local section of the south'
nnd n unitoef eloruoorntlo party uphold the
suppression of the ballot. 'Agitation and con
demnation would some day tench them.
These who bellcvo In an honest ballot must
cither make the south ashamed of its nets or
; naku the world nshatncd of them. Ho
wanted the day.to como. when the -men of
Abraham Lincoln in the south would bo as
frco to vote as the men of Jcftersivn Davis. '
The tariff was tersely discussed and the
closing of his speech was on the pensions and
the late'st attitude of the democracy -and the
border states Jhat now were given lo t'alling
soldiers -mercenary. Ho appealed to Ne
braska to present In 18SS the same unbroken
republican majority that had charactcri/.cel It
slnco its birth , nnd expressed the Jiopo
that tho' state that ho loved , the state that'
w'as.hls ' 'ome , would again give her electoral
vote to the candidate of the ) republican party ,

In nn action by n wife and her minor chil

of support from the Intoxication of the hus
band and father caused by liquor allogpd to

keepers there was proof of distinct
sales by said saloon-keepers of intoxicating
liriuor to said husband and fathdr during the
period stated In the petition and nlao of hii
continuous intoxication during that period
nnd of his remaining in and near said sa

cuced by the saloonkeepers that they had re
fused to furnish him Intoxicating liquor with
the intention of disproving the particular
acts tostitiod to by the witnesses of the plain
tiff , did not warrant u verdict for the defend
ants.

may bo madeby circumstances and such cir

the positive testimony of witnesses.

CHICAGO PUODUos MAKKKT. .
CIIICAOO , March 7. [ Spccl l Telegram to
the.UKE.I There was. news enough la the
wheat pit this. morning , aiuV most of it
fnvored.tho bears. The slump In corn' 'was
-Influence on the saino side of the market ,
but at the weakest point tlio decline In , prices
amounted only to % o from opening figures
and the 1. o'clock close was only lg'c below
the opening for May delivery : Hutohlnson
wns n particularly free seller at near the bottom
tom price , but the market took his offerings
nnd 'oven advanced a llttlo before the close.
There wns scmo buying for country specu
lators In the winter wheat sections , 'but , In
'
general , emtsldo' orders were not extensive.
Probably n good part o'f the buying , was by
shorts , who had n profit In tholr .sales. May
Whc'at opened nt 80) ' , sold down' to 80 Q
' 80c , then up to SO > ' > Ve , declined fgradu- ,
ally and with occasional slight reactions until
80) 0 wns .touched. During , tho. last half
hour a rumor was' circulated that the engi
neers strike would surely spread to the Rock
Island road , and on this news there was some
demand from shorts which scut the prliid up
to SO.KC , which was. the 1 o'cloclt closing *
The highest price reached wns on news erf
the cmpcrqr'H illnoas and an incorrect postIng -
Ing which stiowcd considerable decline In
consols. When this was corrected the "war
scaro' ' wns annihilated : . Juno' wheat opened
ntSO e , sohlup-to SOJtfe , down -to 80 Vo and
cloied ut 1 o'clock at bft SOc. .
The local crowd started In to sell corn this
morning but for the llrst hour pr HO hud only
Indifferent success In holding the 'market
down. When they -got It down , as they did
occasionally , itsccmcdqulto clastic for n tlmo
and would Juuip back whenever there was
any relief from , the pressure. Later , how
ever , the critical point of 53c for May corn
was passed and then- there cmno'out a Hood
of long corn which of itself brought
jibmit the remainder of the break suffered
during' the session. Hutchlnson wns a prom
inent , seller of corn nnd the Inclination of
local tr.xdcrs seemed to agree wlthhlui in this
iiiBtanco. The report that tlio Burlington
road was getting In eooil.runnlng order again
nnd would soon bring In a largo quantity - .
tity of lorn which had been ac
cumulating on account of the strike
was a bearish feature to-day. So when tlio
late report cauio that the strike was spread
ing , It caused seine reaction Just before the
close. May corn opened at T > ! J\g53Kc ; sold
nt 531 0 then' down to WWCZr.nyc- . then down
to 5iL' : , up to B'jye , and hung some" tlmo he- .
twccn Ktfa } and 53J.Cc , then dropped gradually - '
ally and with frcqueut reactions ofVo or
inoro to r/ytfSreJXc , closing nt t o'clock nt
Juno corn opened nt52J < c , sold
down to 62c , and closed nt 1 o'clock at 52'fc. '
There wns a rather active speculative trndo'-
In oats , with Hutchlnson the 'largest seller ,
