SOURED ON CHIEF ARTHUR. Ills Opposition to A Federation of llnllrond Etnptoycfl nnd n Weak ness Vor the Cast Sours Other Sections. Dlsnnlntlon Imminent , CHICAGO. August 8. [ Special Telegram to TUB llKn.J The mom bora of the Brother- hoodof Locomotive Engineers In Chicago nro In nn unenviable frame of mind nt pres ent. They nro In the position of men who do not know what is bofoVo them , and may bo said to bo on the ragged edge. Tliolr uncer tainty is In connection with tholr next gen eral convention , which will bo hold ln-Dcn- vor , Colo. , In October. All of thorn ngroo that the late strike on the Burlington road will engage a largo share ot the attention of the convention and many of those who wcro most affected by it hold firmly to the opinion that though the strike has long since been declared oft and has been almost forgotten by the public generally , the ultimate outcome of it will bo a dissolution of the brotherhood. A rewrter ran across ono of those who toolt nn active part In the strike nnd who is still without an engine , this morning , and questioned him on the outlook , "There Is no use talking,11 said bo , "that strike hod better never been declared off. bo far only ten or cloven of us have boon nble to get places on the Burlington road und many like myself have not boon able to place our hands on the throttle valro of an ngino since wo went out on tbo strike. A number have none to the Northern Pacific , and seine did eot positions for n short tlmo on the Illinois Central , but they were only given those places to enable the general managers to nay -they had shown their will ingness to employ the strikers and that no black list is in existence. Aa n matter of Tact , the majority of us are still unemployed , and declaring the strike off tins mndo our position worse than before. It has mndo it Impossible for us to draw anything Trora the brotherhood funds and loft us high and dry without resources of uuykind. The most conservative men among us look upon the dissolution of the brotherhood ns imminent. I am sorry for it myself , but still I am forced to ooincldo with the opinion. " "Wby should the foot that you nro out of work and unable to draw out of the brother hood funds bring about a dissolution of the brotherhood I" "Tho dissolution Trill bo brought about for two reasons. The brotherhood Is split up over the retention of Chief Arthur at the head of the organization. lie has got the eastern men under his thumb , and .they will fight to re-elect him. The west won't have him on tiny terms. Hero in this section we believe that -he thinks the brotherhood exists for the benefit of Mr. Arthur , nnd the eastern men support bim because ho uphold them when they refused to contribute to the support ot the strikers. They refused to do anything for us. Then there is the question of the organization of a federation to include all ranks of railway employes. Tbo result of the Burlington strike proved conclusively tha inability of the brotherhood to take care of their own In terests without the ui J of the other railroad men. It showed thnt wo cannot succeed independency - dependency of each other , Arthur and his following is strongly opposed to any federa tion of labor. They know that if ihnt is 'brought about it will cut away the supports from under them and Arthur will bo no more. If it Is not brought about the brotner- hood will split into two factions and will bo utmblo to exist as at present organized. Should Arthur nnd his following be beaten the "brotherhood Trill bo swallowed up in the federation. Its destruction Is certain in any case. " "Where does Arthur's strength come from besides the east ! " "Nowhere , The entire west and north west and the south , Canada and Mexico are against him. Ho has the east at his back , but all the other sections are against him , and if they act together there should bo no doubt of the outcome AU these sections are m faror of a co-operative union.

An effort has been mudo to settle tha difficulty by ar bitration , but will bo remembered this ap plied only to one mine in Stroator , After nearly three weeks' deliberation the majority - ity of the minors decided that the minors must return to work at 75 cents per ton. which is certainly below proper living wages.

Ncola Girl Describes her Wedding and What Ilnnponod Afterward. NKOLA , la. , August 5. Dear BEB : Since you still continue to send a WBEKY BED to buzz the news to mo , I suppose you still expect mo to correspond. But , BEE , I haven't written lately because I've been off on a vacation , and in tbo mean time , why , I got married , and am now set tled at Neoln , and henceforth will try and chronicle once lu a while these Noolaito pro ceedings. And , HER , I'll tell you now how it was done , provided you'll never toll. Why , you see , Talmnge dear man had boon preaching and said that every young man ought to bo married , and Jock and I quite agreed with him ( Jack is my husband now ) , so wo discussed the subject , and de termined to obey as sensible a man as the great preacher , so Jaok hurl another discus sion with papa , and matters were sattlod. It was no use for mo to say "Oh , so sudden I" or try to toll any polite flbs to- Jack , bocauao ho always knows when I fib , and he says ho hates girls who fib , so I talked with him very sensibly , ho says , and saved the fibs for other folks. As soon as ma knew It she began and told mo what u solemn thing it was to bo mar ried , but it isn't ; it Isn't near as solemn as not to bo married , especially when ono is well , old enough to bo married a year or two ago. Then all my aunts began a course of lectures. They would strike an attitude before me and preface their remarks with "Oh , now Nellie you must , " or else , "Now Nellie , you must remember and must not , " but that was as much us I over heard , I usually shut the door behind mo about that time , till finally they let mo alone. But they were of souio use , however , they helped mother to hunt dressmakers , and they uhused tbo creatures to their lairs in the stuffy top stories and garrets and told ma the names of several dona where she could find more of the tame species. At last the evening came on which I wan to bo married. I wanted to bo married at church since I'm an Episcopalian , but pa tuld it was "putting on style , " so 1 was mar- rlad at homo. My aunu and cousins , nine of them , prepared to dross mo for the occa sion , it took four mortal hours. They bad ordered ouo hundred different articles for my toilet , and 11 vo minutes before the hour caino , they found that Just nlnoty-nlno and a half "wouldn't do , " or else wore forgotten. Finally they descended in a body to toll Jack I was ready , Oti , how strange and fright ened I fell as I looked In the glass and saw my wulto robe and veil trailing behind mo. I wished that an earthquake or a cyclone would coma und that I would blow awuy and didn't bavo to bo married at .ill , and pres ently , when Jack cauio , ho hoard something suspiciously like a sob. Then ho called mo a little goose and some more namoi and fell to mussing up my hair and getting the enamel off my cheeks and lips , theu wo heard a step and Jock discreetly straight ened himself , und mother , very teao iudocd , came In with the minister. Oh , what a solemn -looking minister that was , it Quito frightened uio , really. I'vo soon a cow look just that same way , and well ho might , for bo had an awful paper with him , with dreadful questions on U , about our forefathers and forcmothers , tvao they were , and what oolor they were. Well , ho and his paper preceded ui down stairs , and ho faced about and told the folks what they bad come there for. I was just awfully scared. an.1 the next thing 1 knew Jack was holding my right hand and saying "I will ; " my turn cumo noxt. aud I said "I will ; " then the minister put my ring on. oh it is just a lovely one. so heavy and nlco ; well , the minister ala some moro thine * to us , and tuoro is ono thing ho said that I hope aome folks will take noUca of , it WM about "holding their peace and not saying any thing hereafter. " I do hope they'll mind that. Pretty BOOU folks said it was nil over , just Ilka a surgical operation , aud they all with one accord began to klas ut , the old lodlos , and especially the old mald < , just hugged Jock , ( I didn't blame them ono bit , for Jack ulfl look dreadful handsome In his ovonrap suit ) , and the gentlemen kissed mo , Jack looklnff.slraight nt thorn , too ; ono man with an awful spenry mustache gave mo an awful wet big smack right on my cheek. I know ho did it on purpose to see if the color would come off , ( and it did of course ) . I made an nwful face nt It ; I hope ho didn't sco it , because ho is u warm friend ot Jack's , nnd gave us a lovely present , too. Well , while the folks were gossiping and eating up nil the stuff that It him taken mother a WOOK to prepare. Jnok hml I nllpKxl | Rway.ohangod our suits and were whirled off by the train.
