Special 10 the Appeal
tELENA, November 30.-The locomotive
engineers on the Texas and st. Louis Para
more road entered into a strike for the
wages due on the last three months, caus-
ing all communication by that road to be
cut of. The Iron Mountain engineers
here have expressed their regret
at the action Of the RSramore brothers,
and one Of them very sensibly expressed
himself about the matter by saying: al
shlnk they were u little hasty in conclud-
sBC 10 strike, because it will cripple the
revenues of the company, and they should
have remembered that the company have
been TO an enormous expense in establish
ing their road and placing it on n paving
basis, their greatest expense and outlay
having been completed. The COM
pany is a wealthy one, and
taking all in all | do not see
how they will profit themselves, and
believe the report that the Brotherhood
III Engineers had ordered the strike to be
untrue, because our principles are to ar
btrate differences upon all points between
employees and employers"

fight, and ali the indications point unmis-
Sakably 30 the nomination OF Carlisle by
erho caucus Tomorrow night. Though
Randall and his managers and their par

cussion lasting over two hours, eleven of

Randall men, agreed that if by tomorrow
at noon they became convinced that Ran
dali could not be elected they would
then give Mr.. Cox their support. The
Carlisle men are jubilant over the
result Of this meeting. They believe that

The day has been one OF marked excite
ment the crowds at the hotels at times being
so great that the presence OF the police was
required to clear the passageways The
hotel lobbies continued crowded to q late

though some enthusiastic Randall
snep are taking even bets. At IL
O'Clock tonight Mr.. Carlisle said
that nothing could now prevent him
getting lOl votes on the first ballot Mr.
Randall, about the same hour, expressed
his usual confidence, and said the result o
of the caucus would show that he had
been accurate in all his calculations The
feeling among the best observers in Wash
ington, however, is that Carlisle has Won
the battle.

A BOLD GAME
Played by Three Thieves Upon Pas
senger on the Nemphis and
Little Rock Railroad.

The police yesterday evening arrested
a man believed to have been one of n trio
who swindled a passenger on the Memphis
and Little Rock railroad out of S270 yes
terday morning. Mr. A. W. Raines, n
prominent citizen OF Trenton, Tenn, and
well known in this city, was passenger
ON the train when il left Little Rock. He
fell asleep daring the night, and about
1 o'clock yesterday morning was awakened
by some one who put his hand on his
knee, which was hanging over the seat
and remarked that that was bad way to
sleep. Mr.. Raines sat up, and, still half
asleep, heard a man who sat on the seat
in front OF him, and who appeared to be
drunk, remark, rs he drew a roll ofmoney
from an inside coat pocket, that he had
been robbed of $500 in house of ill-fame
the evening before at Little Rock.
Take my advice" said the fellow who
had awakened Mr.. Raines, "and don't 90
to those places. But know how you lost
your money"
The fellow then drew out three cards
and turned his attention TO Mr.. Raines, to
whom he pretended TO be explaining the
manner in which the boozy individual haC
lost his money. Mr.. Raines paid little at
tention to him, but happening to thinl
that he might have left his baggage-check
opened his poeket-book to look for IL.

BALTIMORE, November 30.-Laura Ryall,
wife of John Il. Ryall, this morning muir
dered her two girls, aged two and five
years, and cut her own throat At an
early hour the mother of Mrs. Ryall
learned that her daughter was not well.
Later she thought she detected the smell
of gas. Mrs Ryall not answering to her
call, assistance was summoned and the
door broken open, when Mrs. Ryall was
found standing in the middle OF the room
in her night dress, with blood running
from her throat, and her children, botL
dead, lying on the bed. She had cut ali
the arteries and veins in the left wrist OF
each, and they soon bled to death. Mrs
Ryall could not speak, but with a pencil
wrote that she did not want to live. Her
husband is travelling salesman, and was
absent from home. Mrs. Ryall has never
shown evidences of insanity, but COM
planned very much because OF the long
and frequent absences of her husband
from home. She is still alive tonight, but
there is no probability that she can re-
cover. She is about twenty-eight years OF
