As
scenes At the Train.
As soon as the meeting adjourned the
immense catherine for the most part re
paired to the depot grounds and excited
discussions ensued in regard to the situa-
ton. At the mer.in the committee had
been requested to demand only a restora-
ton to their former wages and some were
of the opinion, as they then expressed it,
hat his was not noing quite far enough.
They should have been instructed to de
mand anything which in the judgment Of
the committee s,cmed right. In the
meantime Oakley and his associates on
the transportation committee had secured
from Superintendent Deuel. passes for the
delegates to Omaha and the railroad men
were much grati.ied. Whatever you
may say of the rest, said one, deuel.
will always do the right thing by the boys
if he can" Some one proposed that
three cheers be given for Deuel. but then
the rumbling Of No. , was heard rolling
into the station aud the cheers were not
given.
TAKE THAI ENGINE BACK"
As soon as the train stopped the crowd
surged up to it AM watched with much
eagerness everything that t~ranspired in
connection with it. They would not
permit the oilers or the wheel tappers to
have anything to do with it. nor would
they permit coal or water to be taken, and
it was the general remark on every hand,
This is the last triin that goes by here. "
One of the engine belonging at the round
house approached on one OF the side
tracks with Il cahOose which for some
reason was intended to be attached to the
train, but the crowd would not allow this.
Take back that engine" was the order
and it was promptly obeyed. The
assemblage at the depot by this time was
an immense one, and as is generally the
case on such occasions the longer it
remained the more
THREATENING AND ANXIOUS
was the outlook. But it is an old
saying and a pretty true one that
1T is always darkest just before day
and 40 it proved in this case.
GLORIOUS NEWS.
Suddenly there was a great commotion
close to the door of Superintendent
Deuel's office, and the crowd began to
surge in that direction. But through the
crowd came a man holding in his hand a
message, or something that looked like
one. The crowd made way for him until
he reached the middle of the platform in
front of the Railroad hotel, when he
paused, and opening the paper read Il
dispatch which settled the whole question
connected with the strike. 1t announced
that the Union Pacific had rescinded its
order for a reduction of the wages of the
employees, and that the old order of things,
so far as compensation is concerned, had
been restored. There was n silence for a
moment, a single moment, when the i'm
mense multitude broke forth into
WILD N TUMULTUoUs SHOUTS
that were enough almost TO shake the old
round-house to its very foundation. The
whole city was startled, and people
rushed from every quarter to see what it
meant. Nor did the tumult cease, and
for some time after the announcement was
made long continued shouts and cheers an
nounced that in the first great strike that
ever occurred on the Union Pacific railway
the workingmen, the faithful guardians of
the great interests of i great corporation,
had won the victory.
