LINCOLN , Neb. , May -Special [ to THE
IJiiBj Two weeks huvo been consumed In
tlio Shccdy murder case nnd Irom present
Indications it will lust two weeks longer , as
tlio testimony for tbo prosecution Is not yet
nH in nnd It will probably rcfjulro two or
three more days for the state to get tlio re
mainder of Its evidence In. The medical
portion of the testimony lias now been
reached and something startling Is promised
In that line.
Dr. Boachloy , ono of the physicians who
conducted tlio autopsy , was examined and
his testimony caused consternation among
the attorneys on the part of the defense.
Admitting that every symptom attributed to
Mr. Sliced- while dying by Or. Hart was
true , Dr. Heachley declared that these symp
toms in connection with the things made
manifest ut the autopsy showed that Shecdy
'and died from the effects of mor
phine poisoning. This caused o profound
auiisnlion , as Dr. Hart's testimony was
decidedly favorable towards Mrs. Shecdy.
The evening after Or. Hart tebtlflcd ho was
Kreally elated ov ir having exonerated him
self from certain sinister cbarges. His tes
timony was-somcthlng of a surprise because
it so fevered Mrs. Shceuy , but when Dr.
Bt'nchloy today took the snino symptoms and
declared that they Indicated morphine pois
oning there was another sensation produced.
Dr. Hoachlcy began practicing medicine be
fore Dr. Hart was born.
Alunrt Kat/chsteln was the first witness
calle.l. Ho testified that ho was clerk in
Hurpolsholmer's store at the tlmo of thu in
quest. That certain nightshirts were shown
to him which ho Identiliod as the same
which bo had sold to Mrs. Shce ly. These
blilrts wnre found In Walstrom's room.
Jumes ( intend ! , a clerk In the hosiery de
partment of Herpolshoirner's , testillcil that
Im sold Mrs. Shecdy three pair of socks in
December. At the time of the in
quest over Sheedy's body Detective Mulono
nndMr. Herpolsheimer showed the witness
certain socks exactly like these sold to Mrs.
Shecdy. These socks were found in Wal
strom's room.
Harry Shafer , grand keeper of the records
and soul of the Knights of Pythias in Ne
braska , testlllnd that on the day following
Jio assault ol John Shecdy ho called to scu
ho wounded man , who was a brother knight.
While there Mrs. Shecdy remarked :
" 1 bellovo that Mr. SlicedIs dying , not
from thu effects of the blow , but I think they
have given him something to kill him. "
Tlio witness fiuthur testillecl that Mrs.
Sheedy manifested no symptoms -whatever of
grief.
.1. Smith , a clerk at Schwab's store , testi
fied that on De-comber 'JO , ho sold four neck-
tics to Mrs. Slioedy. At tlio tlmo of thu Inquest -
quest the witness was shown certain neclc-
tlcs wnldi , Detective Malone had found In
Wnlsirom',8 room. Ono of thorn was Iden
tical In dvory respect with one of tlio ties
the witness sold to-'Mrs Sheody.
Dr. licnchloy Was called. Ho testified :
"I have been practicing medicine for
thlrty-lU'O'yeara. 1 was present at the time
of the/- post mortem examination. Dr.
Casebecr conducted the autopsy. I assisted
him. The brain was found In a normal con
dition. Wo found no coagulated blood or
ruptured vessels in the brain. The heart
was enlarged. There wore indications of
fatty degeneration. The liver was enlarged.
The kidneys were In a normal state. The
bladder was full of water. "
The witness then gave u full description of
the various bones of the head , not considering -
ing the bones of the face. Also of the di-
Islons of the brain. Ho then continued :
hu symptoms of morphine poisoning
nrof Insensibility to the touch ; tno pupils
of the eves nro uncontrolled : the breath-
ing Is slow and noisy ; tbo action
of the kidney * nnd bowels suspended ;
the pulse is at first accelerated ; later the
pulse may become slower or more accelerated.
In iho earlier stages vomiting Is noticed ;
later the pupils of thu eye may become en
larged. The effect of atrophcno Is Just the
reverse of morphine on the pupils of the dye.
Given In connection with uiorphluo the
pupils of the eye would remain the samo.
Sulphonal Is a new remedy. It Is used to in
duce .sleep. It does not allay pain. The usual
dose of bulphonal is from llflcen to thirty
graiiiR. "
Mr. Lambertson then gave u description of
Mr. Shecdv's condition nt the tlmo he was
found by Dr. Hart at 4 a. in. ; described t'io
various symptoms exhibited up to the tlmo of
Mr. Sheoiiy's death ami the various medi
cines administered. Mr. Lambertson then
usked the witness what in his opinion under
such circumstances was the cause of Mr.
Shoody's death.
Stearns , attorney for Mrs. Shcedy , ob
jected and was seconded by Philpot. A long
debate ensued in which .Mr. Lambortson de
clared that ho was merely asking
a hypothetical question , The court declared
Unit such questions were permlssnblo only
when they were founded on evidence al
ready given , and ns evidence to that eft eel
bad been presented ho would permit an an-
s.wer. Witness answered :
"My opinion is that under such circum
stances the man died from morphine poison
ing. "
Cross-examination : "Tho brain was carefully -
fully sliced to Und traces of coagulation. Dr.
Cascbcer cut through Iho medulla to see If
them were any blood spots In it. Hu found
no blood si > ots there. There was no more
fluid in thu brain than one would ordinarily
cxpoct. The use of alcoholic spirits or dis
ease may cause the enlargement of the liver.
Mr , Shoody's liver was not enlarged
-.hjjfllclcntly to afTect his general
health , There was n gall stone
in the gall bladder , but It was too large to
gel Into the ducts and affect his health In
nr ; way. When a per im dies from the ef
fect of a blow ho docs not breathe ns slowly
as a person who Is dying from the effects of
morphine poisoning. Sometimes one-half of
n irraln of morphine may produce death , but
there nro instances recorded where persons
addicted to the morphine habit have taken as
high as ten grains without producing fatal
results. "
Hccross-examination : "Had death ro-
lulled from the blow affecting Iho heart the
lemUo would have boon instantaneous. Thu
effects of morphine are somewhat lingering.
I'ho effects from compression of the brain
unl concussion are ditTorcnt. Compression
lauiscs a dilation of the pupils , while concus-
.ilon causes n contraction. It is sometimes
hard to tell whether it Is compression of the
brain or concussion. Compression Is gener
ally Induced by a rupture of a blood vessel
nnd the blood pouring out Into the
cavity of the skull and coagulating.
Death may bo produced from compression of
the spinal cord. Tbo blood or other lluld
may run down into the spinal column from
the brain mid produce death and leave no
truces whatever in the braiu. "
The reuiiy manner In which Lambertson
expressed himself , from both a medical and
chemical standpoint , in asking questions ,
nettled Stearns , attorney for Mrs , Sheody ,
and be remarked sarcastically ;
"I believe * , Mr. Lambortson , you havob"cn
putting in two months preparing for tlu ;
caso. "
" 1 might , " said Mr. LambcrUon , "havo
but iu that tlmo If , Uko the counsel for tlio
jlofcnso , I was lo receive $15,000 for it. "
' The witness then continued :
"Tho difference between morphine poison
ing und compression of the brain Is as fol
lows Morphine causes unconsciousness ,
contraction of tlio puplU of the eye , vomiting
In the curly stages , suspension of the func
tions of the body , such as swallowing , roten-
ii of urlno uud torpidity of the bowels.
There Is an Increase of temperature in the
early stages , the respiration Is decreased :
the patient ceases to breathe for a time , then
breathes several times in quick succcssslou :
the pulso'ls variable ; it might yo up to 140
beats per mliiilto. In cases of compression
of the brain one bund and foot may bo para
lyzed. The patient may bo conscious , tf
the compression is In the uprcr part of the
brain It may affect only ono side. If nt the
base It may affect to'h and cause
unconsciousness similar to morphine
pol.sonlni ; . In that case there would
be found a riot at the bae of the
brain. The eve would generally show di
lation ; breathing nearer normal than In mor
phine [ Kilsonlng and not so slow. If the
spine Is affected the bladder und bowels
would bo torpid. Tin ) symptoms of a dose of
morpulnc In the stomach are very uncertain.
If given hypodermieally the only trace of the
poison would bo found In tbo bladder. If the
morphine was put Into the wound It would
have the same effect as though hypodermically
ally Injected. A person will stand a larger
dose of morphine when suffering with pain
than when not suffering. "
He-cross examination : "When a person is
seriously Injured n toxic dose of morphine
like a small ono might Uo on the stomach for
three hours if not assimilated. I have re
peatedly given doses of morphine that have
not shown liny symptoms nt all. "
These lust statements of thu doctor caused
Intense excitement among the attorneys for
the defense , ns Dr. Hurt , who throughout his
testimony had favored Mrs. Sheody , had de
clared that there were no symptoms of any
thing like morphine poison Ing until -1 o'clock
In the morning , which was three hours after
the tlmo when , the prosecution believes , tne
fata ) dose was given Mr. Shcedy.
'
Strode got wild and asked tlio' witness all
manner of questions In n semi-Insolent ,
querulous manner , which were readily an
swered by the aged doctor in a culm , col
lected manner. Strode Dually became so ex
asperated at his failure to get the witness
rattled that ho gave the matter up and
angrily excused him.
Court then Adjourned until Monday morn

Alleged Con p rncy to Defraud n
lleslress of Her Kstulc.
Bovrov , Mass. , May 10.-A suit brought
by Fannie Brown to recover her share as an
heir of William White , who died In 188 ! !
leaving property in Michigan valued at ? 2K ( , -
000 or more , Is before the supreme court and
has developed a remarkable story of alleged
conspiracy on the part of White's second
end wife and others to deprive the
daughter of any of her father's estate. When
Eliza Campbell nnrrled Widower White
over forty years ago she was employed In his
printing oftlco. She and the step-daughter ,
Fannie , were on the best of terms , but
trouble soon developed , and in 1801 Fannie
was forced to leave her father's house. She
returned , however , in 1SOO , after a rcconcil
iation. White's property included n valuable
tract of land in Michigan , which ho had re
ceived in payment for notes ho held against
a debtor. When he died ho left no will and
his widow decided to claim the whole estate.
The daughter assorted her right to a share of
the property.
Soon after this , It is alleged , a
conspiracy was formed between Mrs.
White , Fletcher and James Camp
bell , a brother of Mrs , White , whereby
Mrs. Brown , the daughter of White ( she
having married A. E. Brown , a patent solic
itor ) , was to bo defrauded of her share of
the property. In order to put this alleged
conspiracy Into execution it became neces
sary , as alleged In the bill now bcforo the
court , not only to commit , ns Is claimed , sev
eral forgeries , but also to bring forward anew
now heir , or rather a new owner , for what
Mr. nnd Mrs.JBrown claimed was White's
property. To show that \Vhlto had never
received tbo land in payment for
that note it became necessary for
Fletcher nnd his socalled consplr-
tors to show thai the note had been paid In
some other way , and to do so It is charged
that the boldest erasures , foreeries and mu
tilation of account , books were resorted to.
After White's death Mrs.Whito and Fletcher
and Jumes Campbell severally declared that
the pro [ orty had never belonged to White ;
that ho was simply acting ns guardian for
Newell Kogors Campbell , the child of n man
who worked for White as bookkeeper , and
had been frequently befriended by White.
The case has been pending fifteen years , but
it is expected that n final hearing on the
master's report will take place in June , when
nome intcrcbtlng testimony will be produced.

NEW OIILCANS La. , May 10. Yesterday
Henry Peters , a stevedore , went to the city
hall and complained to Mayor Shakespeare
that the Provonwnos were Interfering
with him on the levees and in
timidating his laborers. Ho was ad
vised to make an affidavit against
the Provonznnos. The aflldavit was made
and the Provenznnos brothers were arrested
and held in WOO bonds. The mayor sent a
message to the Provonzanos , Joe and Peter ,
directing them to call on him ut once. Joe
called this morning. The mayor warned him
that the community had grown sick
and tired of his lawlessness and
Intimidation. "I want to give you
fair notice , " continued his honor , ' 'that
this thing must stop now and for nil time.
You need not deny nn > thing. I know well
enough that you have long been n menace to
the pence of this community. You know ns
well as I do the assiduous moans by which
you seek to intimidate nnd frighten people.
You may not do your work openly , but
you tin el another nni ( perhaps
moro effectual way. Now thoio must
bo oueo and fores or an eml
of this. I have issued orders totho , chief of
police that lie must use his entire force if
necessary lo prevent you from carrying your
designs Into execution. I am sorry that I am
obliged to go to Denver. If I could remain
hero I would personally take command of the
police force and I would use every means at
my command to wii > o from the "face of the
earth every member of your gang who tries
to ralso his band against a person of this
community. In my abscncomy representatives
will act for mo. When I return I shall
act for myself , but this reign of terror must
stop , and If there Is o , way possible to do It
it will stop. Now you have been warned. "
Provoiunno had but little to say except to
protest his innocence. Ho loft tlio hall very
much crushed. The Provonzanos , It was
charged bv Key. Father Manorltta , were at

Cable Special to THE BEK. ! The Prince
of Uales nnd his debts Is n good stock subJect -
Ject for paragraphs when news run short ,
but Edmund Yatcs was never driven into
such straits for materials for his World and
therefore It was more surprising that he re
cently published a statement to the
effect that it has now become neces
sary to make some arrangement for
settling the prince s nifnirs , and that the
queen had agreed to pay his debts and make
him an allowance. Yates would not wilfully
do nn ill natured thing , but this announce
ment was malicious in design and character ,
and the obvious explanation of its appear
ance in the World was that the editor has
been deceived. So It proved , for n communi
cation was made from Mnrlborough house
and Yale's man fully apologized. With all
his experience ho can not help being misled
occasionally.
It need not surprise anybody that
the prince's income docs not enable
him to keep within his expenditure.
Ho tins had live children to bring
up and they have now arrived nt
man's estate. Their education has oecn all
that their position mid duties In the world
call for. A prlnco of Wales cannot econo
mize in butchers' bills or keep a minute check
over the expenditure of a largo house
hold. Wherever ho goes ho is ex
pected to give presents or spend money
freely , and people would soon cry out
if ho showed a tendency to be niggardly. He
must subscribe to any charities , keep up two
or three houses for his family , spend n great
deal In traveling , mostly on public business ,
und conduct all his affairs on a scale suitable
to tbo heir apparent. The people would netlike
like to see him going about in a shabby coater
or crawling along in a four-wheel cab.
The prince's income was never cacu-
lated for the responsibilities which huvo
grown up around him. It was adapted to
the requirements of a short minority , but the
prince is passing mlddlo ago and has to" dis
charge many of the duties of the sovereign
and the Income has not been increased in
proportion to the expenses. The income
granted for the monarch's expenses is quite
adequate , but the prince gets none of it.
Everybody hopes that the queen's life will
bo long preserved , but the heir to the
crown cannot reasonably ba expected to
live in scmi-stato and entertain largely on
tbo allowance given to him as a youtiL' man
in years. Of course , parliament has granted
allowances to his sons , but it has never been
asked to do what it has done for former
princes of Wales pay largo sums at frequent
intervals for debts. Such application to par
liament In these days would bo imprudent ,
yet no ono can say it would bo unjust.
The helr-apnarent ought not to bo made to
suffer because the life of the rolgnlng sov
ereign has boon prolonged beyond expecta
tion , nor can the queen's Income bo docked to
supplv the prince's deficiency. The prince ,
in the meanwhile , is not asking anybody to
pay his debts. U seems rather hard that they
should be obtruded on the notlco of the pub
lic. Ho become ? moro and moro popular
every year and the tongue of scandal is now al
most silent concerninghim. . Everybody is
compelled to admit that ho faithfully dis
charges his duty to the country.
Encland cannot produce a lather more de
voted to his homo and family. There has
never been a word of truth in any rumor
casting a shadow on his domestic life. Such
rumors are n part of the penalty of the high
position , and so is the constant Intermeddling
with his private affairs. They cease to do
any injury in the public estimation , but that
they cause htm much personal annoyance Is
not to bo concealed.

LONDON- , May 10. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to THK BKR. ! The Herald
correspondent at Carnavon , Wales , tele
graphs that Duncan , in jail tnere , refuses to
make a statement for publication , except a
denial of guilt , saying his wife fell from the
rocks. His wife is much better tonight and
has a chance for life.
His totally impossible to learn why Dun
can tried to murder his wife , and the affair
will probably not bo cleared up until the
woman recovers her senses , which the doc
tors say is quite doubtful. She is cognizant
of her surroundings , but V-omains apparently
completely unconscious of her terrible ex
perience.
Miss Caroline Guolph is lying ill in the
Camberwell workhouse. The old lady has
established n claim to bo the daughter of
George IV. , who she says went through the
form of marriage with her mother at n church
In Kensington about the year 1814. Miss
Guelpu's certltlcato of baptism is dated from
the same church In thu following year.
She has remained single , and some
six years ago the case was brought
before the pubic. Then n fund was raised
for her relief and she has since been sup
ported by the money received from high
quarters , but this Is not sufficient to
provide her with proper medical attend
ance and nursing during her illness. A few
days ago the old lady was taken very ill with
bronchitis , and the attention of the relieving
ofllcers being drawn to her she was removed
to the workhouse. She is now in a very
critical condition.

What the Kx-Spenkcr Shi 1 to a Correspondent -
respondent In Italy.
LONDON , May 10. .Thomas B. Heed , ex-
speaker of the United States hauso of repre
sentatives , talking to a correspondent ot the
Associated press In Italy concerning the Me-
KInloy bill , said , In part : "It will stimu
late our foreign commerce by n lariro num
ber of articles on which the duties have been
reduced , or which were added to the fro
list. It will stimulate our domestic Indus
tries by reason of reduction In duties on raw
material and Increased duties on n very few
articles of necessity which have been largely
Imported , but which hitherto wo hnvo been
unable to manufacture profitably. It
was eixtromoly unfortunate that the
bill went into effect at the tlmo
was followed soon by a njost severe financial
panic , when the failure of the Barring
Brothers seemed to shako the foundations of
the strongest houses , when general Insol
vency seemed to stare the whole commercial
world In the face. Going Into effect under
such circumstances it was not a difficult mat
ter to convince thousands of voters that the
financial difficulties were do solely to the
inherent defects of the measure. Why ,
look at the case of Austria , whoso merchants
complain so loudlv of the ruin that the
McKlnle-y bill wrought to their trade. They
complained that their Industries were af
fected to such an extent by the measure that
through their efforts the Austrian govern
ment was forced to seek to draw other na
tions into measures of reprisal against the
United States. Notwithstanding these e-om-
plaints facts proved that exports for the first
three months under tbo operation of the bill
were increased 00 percent over the correspond
ing quarter of 1800. Hero In Italy the mer
chants and the press ro-ochoed the waitings
of the balance of the European press until
they discovered that llad the bill been
specially devised for tho. purpose it could not
have been hotter adapted to increase her
trade with the United State. ' , for by Its pro
visions W ) per cent of our purchases from
hero are on the frco list : ' S4 per cent tire ad
mitted ut a reduced rate of duty ; 12 per cent
at the same rate , while the duty was ad-
vancen on but 4 per cent. "

address of the evening \vas made by Mr
Rooseveltwho , apcr spc , n ! ; at some Icngtl
of the workings of the ejlvll service law
launcheel into an answer to the recent article
of John S. Clarkson In tip .North America :
Kuview. Ho characterized Mr. Clarkson'
article as a loose dlatrlbo. Ho vigorously
denied the truth of flarkson's asser
tions that the civil ; service was
more opposed to the republican party
under Harrison than It was under
Cleveland. The commlsitoh was merely en
forcing the law. Then M { Knosovnll accused
Mr. Clarkson of running' the postoflico de
partment as a "spoils machine , " treating
fourth class offices as simply the property of
congressmen , good or bail , ' In whoso districts
they were situated. In conclusion Mr.
Hoosovclt said that Pr.jslcicnt . Harrison and
the civil service commission -under him were
dolne everything In their power to enforce
the civil service laws andVsxtcnd their scope.

UKHI.I.V , May 10. The negotiations for n
3erman-Austrlan commercial treaty with
spaln have become curiously involved with
ho reciprocity convention proposed by Gen-
ral John W. Foster , the special roprosonta-
Ivo of the United States. The Gorman
embassy at Maurld , which ought to bo rightly
n formed , sent a dispatch to the effect that
ho pourparlers , opened with the duito of
L'oiricn , the Spanlsli minister of foreign
affairs , a month ago have now ceased. The
luke of Tetrien received the overtures for a
reaty with Germany favorably and told the
ierinan ambassador that the cabinet meant
o loiicw treaties generally on the principle
of reciprocity so far as was compatible with
a protection policy , and that as soon ns
Yanco shall promulgate her new tariff the
government will place before the cortcs a
tariff , on which will bo based the conven
tions with all powers. Since this communi
cation was made the concession to the United
States has become known. This renders
dlfl'calt anv treaty with European power * .
Spain has agreed to give South American
imports to Cuba and Porto Kico a differ
ential rate of i" ) per cent against
similar imports from all other countries
whether or not they conclude treaties with
Spam. Such a privilege , constitutine a
customs union between the United States and
the Spanish antllles. blocks further negotia
tions which the German embassador has un
dertaken simultaneously with the Austrian ,
Italian and llelgian ministers. Spain has
been Invited to send n delegate to the
customs conference at Vienna , where a solu
tion of the diniculty might be discussed.
Statistics of the traito of Germany
with Spain fall to Indicate any
great recent development of the intercourse
between the two countries. Much Spanish
merchandise is coming through Belgian and
Dutch ports. Minerals , corks , fruits , oils
and wines , which form the Spanish staples ,
nro now largely imported. The German
trafllc with the Antilles is not of great im
portance , but the formation of n treaty rec
ognizing exclusively American privileges is
hardly possible. The Madrid government
llnds that every country of Europe takes a
similar view of the matter. The Spanish
commission appointed to formulate a tariff
has not concluded Its report , and it will prob
ably be autumn before an attempt to renew
decisive negotiations is undo.
The resignation of ilerr Maybach , Prus
sian minister of public works , removes from
the public stare the last minister of the old
emperor except Dr. von Boettcrier , secretary
of the imperial homo olllco , whoso continued
presence is due to the resentment which the
emperor has felt in consequence of the public
attacks Mid private intrigues which have
been carried on for the purpose of hastening
his withdrawal. Prince Dismnrk's ' oumlty
has strengthened the ardor of the emperor's
friendship for Dr. Doettchor. During the
squabble o.-cr the lattcr's secret drafts
from the Guclph fund the emperor vis
ited and dined with and wined with
and showed him other mrrks of favoritism ,
but Dr. von Doottcher is now on the eve of
departing. It Is reported that ho will become
president of the province of Schlciswig-Hol-
stcln , Herr von Hennng ! eu succeeding to the
homo oftlcoand Herr Mignel.tmperinl minister
of tinanco , becoming vice presidcat of the
Prussian council.
The impending changes give power to the
national liberals In the ministery despite the
recent signs of the party's weakness amonir
the electors. Herr Miguel's hold upon the
emperor's esteem is becoming more firm.
The surrender of the majority of the her-
renhaus in the income tax dispute is undoubt
edly duo to Herr Miguel's skillful handling
of the matter. At ono time the majority of-
feied opposition to the democratic measures ,
which levied ntax of 4 per centon incomes of
over 100,000 marks , but Herr Miguel guided
them into submission. The emperor has
written him a warm congratulatory letter.
The press is discussing a pamphlet , sup
posed to have been inspired by Prince Bis
marck , assailing the emperor's tendencies to
aosolutism. The pamphlet argues that the
ministers alone ought to bo responsible nnd
that the sovereign ought especially to avoid
rhetorical declarations , as in the proportion
that his fallibility becomes obvious will re
spect for him suffer. A chapter on "The
Kaiser HisOwnMinistoi" blames Chancellor
Von Caprivi for not using his inlluence to
prevent tbo emperor's Injudicious public ut
terances , compares Germany to a rudderless
ship and accuses the emperor of consulting
private advisers behind the back of his min
isters. It urges the latter to resign ruthor
than to carry out measures opposnd to their
convictions. The wide and iron discussion
of the pamphlet marks the rapid progress of
constitutionalism.
Minor Sigcl of Dousfcldt , ono of the three
delegates whom the emperor received two
vcars ago after the great Westphalia strike
and whom the emperor warned not to mix In
socialist doctrines or labor disputes , has been
arrested for attending a socialist minors
union. Slgel is the second delegate whom
the emperor has received who is now within
the pinch ot the law. The misery of the de
feated strikers in Westphalia is extreme.
Over twenty thousand who have applied for
work in the Bochum district have been re
fused employment and threatened with ex
pulsion from their homes.
Chancellor Von Caprivi is suffering from
diabetes. Ho will shortly go to Carlsbad for
treatment.

Action ol' the Snrroino Council ol'
I'eileiMted Itallr.uul Kni | > loycM.
CHICAGO. May 10. The supreme council
of Federated Railroad Employes decided
against the Chicago & Northwestern switch
men this evening. The council recommended
that the switchmen's ofllccrs call upon tlio
railroad ofllclals with a view to reinstate
ment of as many of their hands as places
could DO provided.
The proceedings of the council were pro
longed aim stormy. When the body was
called to order In the Grand Pacillc hotel the
following were present : Switchmen , Frank
Sweeny , J. M. Downey and Miles W. Bar
ret ; llremen , Eugene Debs ; conductors , O.
W. Howard , G. M. Mart. , and D. J. Carr ;
trainmen , S. B. Wilkinson , W. A , Shcnhau
and H. W. Morrison.
At the close of the session , which lasted
nearly cloven hours , Mr. Sargent said the
representatives of tlio switchmen and thnlr
opponents , the trainmen , had each been
given a hearing , nnd the course of the former
In demanding the discharge of Yardmaster
McN'erny was declared unjustitiable.
From others it was learned that nil of the
out of town switchmen could bo probably re
instated upon application , and the same was
true of many Chicago switchmen.
The switchmen tonight seem to bo some
what embittered toward the tlremen , neither
Mr. Sargent nor Mr. Debs having voted on
any qtiostlonl before the council , ostensibly
because tliel order of llremeii had no
quorum present , but really , it Is as
sorted , from n desire not to bo put
on record. The question of sustain
ing the action of the railroad was settled by
a vot3of six to three , favoring the company.
A resolution introduced by the switchmen
was adopted by the same vote , requiring the
tralnmci.'s ofllccrs to request the company to
remove trainmen who Imvo been given
switchmen's places and that the .switchmen
bo reinstated. The trainmen , however ,
voted against the resolution , nnd the secre
tary of the supreme council , who is 0110 of
the trainmen , refused to sign it , and Mr.
Wilkinson , chief of the trainmen refused
point plank to act on it ,
The outcome of the action of the council ,
thcrclorc , is far from settled.
Yardmaster Brooks , whoso name has
figured In the interviews brought out by the
strike , and who is a member of the Train
men's brotherhood , was discharged from the
Northwestern road today with the sanction
of the trainmen. This action was susatlned
by the council , affording about the only
cramb of comfort given to the switchmen.
Striken Conic
PiTTMiruo , Pa. , May 10. An indication of
the enormous losses certainly suffered by

guards and iu orders for coke.

o'clock in the Langnkolla hotel barns ,
just off Pine street , from some
unknown cause , and , by n strong wind , with
lightning rapidity swept ton blocks up Pine
street , one of the chief business streets ot
the city. Then by a sueden shift In the wind
the llamos were driven toward Terrace ave

where they swept unchecked and are
now burning with unabated fury near
Evergreen cemetery , In the southern edge of

street business houses for ten blocks are en
tirely wiped out. The ? 100,000 court house
was gutted , but Its public documents were
