Nothing nuthoratlve will bo given out as to the delib erations of tlio supreme council until tomor row nt the earliest. It is among the proba bilities that the decision of the council inny not bo nached for several days. Today saw- no convening of the council proKT | , This docs not mean that agencies were not nt work. The council la-st night put into tlio linnils of Grand Secretary Debs of thb Hrotherhood of rirotncn , Vice Grand Master Morrissey , of ttio Hrotherhood of Trainmen , nnd Vlco Grand Muster Uow- ncy of the Switchmen's ' Aid association , the deliberations of the council and thoywill prepare - pare ccrtnln propositions to bo presented to thu council , which will dollno the nctton of the supreme body. This committee has bocn In session since 8 o'clock last evening. The members separate only to tale ; what may be strictly nnmcd as lunches. Sargent was at his ofllco today overhauling hooks and papers which not only bear on the threatening gen eral strlko on the Vundorbilt system , but ho is coniDclted to look over his work as regards the Brotherhood of I-ocomotlvo Fircir.cn. An Asjociut 'd press correspondent called at Sargent's house this afternoon nnd Sargent was us frank as usual. Ho hud carefully read I'owdcrly's letter to Webb sent out last night. While Snrfjont would not express un opinion as to the action the council would ttiko on the report of tno committee , yet ho freely ex pressed himself about 1'owderly's stand. 1'owderly \Vcbbiiitliuposltion ho be longs , aud'whlch. when the public thor oughly understand , will convince it that \Vobh Is wrong. Webb's position is directly opposite to that taken by Uepew , Dcpow lias ul ways ndvociited.thc organization o. labor. To sustain this statement Sargent cave to the Associated press representative extracts from an address delivered bv Dcpow at the meeting of the Firemen's Hrotlu-rhood held iiiTaniinnny hull In May , 1SS7. Saul Dcpow at that time : "I believe In nn organization Just like yours for protection , for cliarity , sobriety and Industry , It Is proper in these clnys that there should bo organisation for the simple reason that the business of this world cannot be carried on In any other way ; that railroad people ought to be able to intelligently discuss questions of the day and should tell the government that they did not want imported labor. " "These ex pressions of Ocpow , " said Surgcnt , "show conclusively that lie was in favor , at that time , of organized labor ; that ho believed in the right of workhiKmcn to go to the i > ells and excrclso their rlalit f franchise. " Said Sargent : "Tho Knlgl 8 of Labor have taken an active part in legislative af fairs in the fetuto of New York during tha past year , much of this legislation being dl- i-rctlyln the interest of railway employes , and the New York Central being ono or the largeut corporations that would naturally be affected by such legislation , and many of its employes going before the assembly In behalf of the bills .presented , and the fact that some of the men discharged by the Now York Central were \ anticipating in this effort to bring about the passage of these labor bills bolero the Now York loiris- laUiro , shows plainly that the company Is an tagonizing the Knights of Labor In Its action , lor lind the men boon discharged forilrunken- ness , breach of discipline and such causes as nro now claimed by AVoblt , he would not licjitatc ono moment to have an Investiga tion. I am surprised that men should liavo been In tlio employ of the Now York Central for lif teen or twenty years and now bo dismissed on account of character. It Is n tad commentary on the management of the road. In the course of the address delivered by Dcpow , Sunday , May 25 , 1SS9 , shortly be fore ho sailed for Europe , ho said to n meet- Ingof IJrotlicrhood Kngineersat New Haven : 'Thero arc a few things ahout the relations ' . . of a president to the employes of the rend -which I would like to say.V'o both i ilr.uv our salaries frum the same treasury. The president of the company has his duty to perform to the stockholders of the the road , but it Is not. us many of you sup pose , his only duty.Vldlo lie must see to It thut tho-proper economy is maintained nud earning power developed , ho must see that tlio public at all times gets the best pas- bible service , and that the men in the employ of tlio company uro treated woll. It Is his dutv to inarch out nnd take by the throat nnd throttle any man who , In his brief authority , trends on the toes of some ono of the men under him. A railroad goes on forever aud the nieu in Its employ realize the security of their employ ment and It gives to them an Independence which is their rlisht. ' Any ono who rends these utterances of Depcw cannot help but hcllovo thai Depow , as president of the New- York Central rouil , believed in the rec ognition ot his employes whenever they desired to confer with him. mid if any of hU subordinates practiced imy injustice. In his own words. ' 1 would Uiko them Dy the tin-oil and throttle them.1 The employes who were 1 discharged by the Central were Ueulcd the right to give their sldo of the story to the management. They claim that they have boon mistreated by subordinate of- llccrs , demanded redress , were re fused a bearing and have now combined for protection , Just as advocated by IJppow , piesiilcntof the New York Central. 1'owdorly , its the men's ' counsellor , comes forward and by honorable moans tries to bring nboul an ainlcablo adjustment.

The conditions wcro most unfavorable to brill iant bill. The ground was thoroughly soaked with nn nil-day and all-night rain. Mud was everywhere , and pools of water in some places made the outlook as bad as could bo. Hut Greek met Greek when Wldner and Dad Clarke wore pitted niralnst each other. . Clarke pitched in great form , and alter the first inning the Corn IlusUors wcro powerless - loss to solve his curves. Hut \Vldnor was oven more effective. Ho mowed the visitors down with fatal regularity from start to fin ish , but nil through there was the sharpest kind of Holding. It Is hard to say on which sldo the work -was lluest. The lone run of the { flimcvnis made Inthoflrstlnning. Strauss struck to center Held and reached third base on nn error by Willis in allowing the ball to roll between his legs. Dliick ( jot his base on balls and then Glean to hi * llanrahun , who dropped the ball , but Strauss got tijjhio while Glenn was being thrown out. This ended the mus , and base hits were scarcer than hen's teeth. The visitors strove manfully to score , but in vain. They came very near it , however , in the sixth inning , when , on a base on balls and an error , Kcarns pot to third fuse and no ono out , but lie was still thcro nf tor three Black Sox h-id vainly tried to llnd U'idner's delivery. The only other prospect for runs was in tlio llrst Inning , when \Valsh and O'Connor mndo suc cessive hits , but they could not get beyond second base.

According to his account , the animal biro a resembrwcoto ti panther. The iinlninl sprang upon linn from a bunch of weeds pn ths edge of an adoiulng ] slough , clearing ten feet at thollitit bound , knoekliiR him do\vn \ and coveriiiL' hit whole fnco with its enormous mouth , displaying at the satno time a huso set of. blunt yellow "tcelhT"Ho"says the - animalwai about six feet long , havliiK short legs , belm ? built' heavy in front but slim through the Hunks. It was of a yellow-grey color , with blaclc streaks over the eyes , having u thick , heavy neck and a ho'id nearly aslurg-oas a common water pall. He slid the combat las ted nearly an hour , during which time ho walked back wards in front of the ferocious beast Over eighty rods , the length ol the Held. Ho was knocked down several times by the beast , but succeeded iiiextrlcatinjhlmsulffro.il ita grasp every time. Once ho thought the animal had him down for the hut time , and would soon make him lib pray , but fort unately ho caught him by the lowerj.iw wltlx ono'liand and by the shoulder with tlio ether and by u doipcrata effort pushed him ofE and. got on his feut again. Thoaniinil tvo-i minus one hind foot , and it is supposed to bo the same animal that UMS tracked near the same place .three years ago last winter , leaving a mark in the snow that looked as though it had a trap fastened to Its foot. It was lucky for Mr. liobcrts that the unlnml was u cripple. It Is quite likely that the foot caino off with the trap. Uoberts called loudly for help and was heard for half a mile. Help came uono too teen for lie was nearly ox- batisted and thu anirnil seeing the arrival of reinforcements gave up the combat nnd loft in double quick timo. At each retreating bound it left three hirgo tracks , each six inches In breadth. Mr , Uoberts escaped with out any serious Injury. On the next day a party of eleven well known farmers of the vicinity examined iho battluflold and found overf ovldoiico to cor. rohorato Mr. Uobort's ' story. The tracks were plainly visible and tlio marks on the ground showed too plainly the ovlnenco of a hard tusnle , mi tno trace of the animal could bo found. As nearly as can ho learned the anlmnl has infested the neighborhood the past seven years , but was novel"- before seen. \Vhatltlscan only bo conjectured , but from the fact that Mr. Roberts eseapoil with so slight Injury it mu-U bo a very agml and feohloaniinnl ; othonviso It would < iulckly have torn a man to pieces , A WnillllN'O OP TWO STATI'.S.
