Shortly after . o'clock the large and
enthusiastic meeting was called to order
by Mr.. Joseph Granger, the chairman
of the former meeting, and James
Deloney was chosen secretary. On as
Stunning the chair Mr.. Granger stated the
object for which the meeting had been
called. They had assembled for the pur-
pose Of taking some action in concert with
their friends and brethren along the line
of the road, and it was proposed. mas
much as Laramie City and other places
had done the same thing, to appoint u
committee to proceed to Omaha and act
in conjunction with delegates from other
points to see what could be done in regard
to the situation. There seemed to be at
first considerable division of sentiment
among the large gathering upon this
question. Some contended that the
whole matter could
BE ARRANGED BY TELEGRAPH
as well as it could be done by sending Il
delegation to Omaha. \ large majority,
however, seemed to be of the contrary
opinion. In the discussion upon this
point Messrs. Goddard, Goodwin, Oakley
and Others participated. Finally it was
decided that a committee of three, one to
represent the shops, one the yards and
one the train element, be selected for this
purpose. The following are the names of
the committee selected: II. Il. Gordon,
j. II. Goddard, Jerome Allen and w. II.
Martin. The latter named gentleman
was added TO the committee on further
consideration. Mr.. Oakley stated that he
had a telegram from Laramie City which
he desired to read. The telegram recited
the fact hat a meeting had been held
and that a resolution had been adopted to
the effect that
NO TRAINS EXCEPT TIL A
car be allowed to run. He wanted to
see what was the sentiment of the meet
ing and as to whether they desired to
endorse it or not.
Mr.. Goodwin also had IL telegram from
the same point, but of later date, which
was to the effect that no trains except
passenger trains be permitted to run and
that freight conductors be not allowed to
run passenger trains. Considerable dis
cussion ensued in reference to this matter
in which Mr.. Granger took occasion to
deprecate any violence or lawlessness, as
did also Messrs. Goodwin, Oakley, Smith
and others, all of whom were loudly ap-
plauded by the meeting whenever any
mention was made upon this point. The
outcome of this matter was that no action
was definitely taken, but it was at least
tacitly understood that Cheyenne would
pattern after and govern its action in this
regard by Laramie. \ committee of four,
consisting of j. Granger, William Oak
ley, Alexander McGregor and p. Mol
oney, were appointed for the purpose of
securing transportation for the Omaha
committee after which the meeting ad-

ant CLARK and demand their rights of him
as the representative of the company.

meeting, Mr.. D. c. Rhodes having placed
it at their disposal for the purpose, and

Joll-lE lsNt.
In the early part of the evening u
second meeting was held in Library Hall
which was attended by the delegations
from Laramie City, Rawlins, Green River
and Evanston, who had arrived in the
city on No. ., on their way to Omaha.
Mr.. Granger again presided. Speeches
We're made by Il great proportion
of those in attendance. and Il
vote of thanks Was rendered to
the delegations from abroad for the noble
manne in which they had assisted in the
work which had Just been accomplished.
a vote of thanks was unanimously ex-
tended to Mr.. d. c. Rhodes for tender
ing to the railroad men, free of charge, the
use of the hall for the purpose of holding
the meetings therein. There was great
rejoicing all over the city last night at the
happy termination O" that which prom
ised to be a serious calamity to Cheyenne
as well az the whole territory. If in no
other way, it was possible to identify q
railroader by the broad guage smile which
he invariably wore. Everybody in the
city sympathised with the men in their
gladness and thanked good fortune that
what had threatened to be Il very disas-
trous strike had terminated 80 speedily
and satisfactorily.
4 special telegram received from Lara
ME City last night conveyed the informa-
ton hat the striking railreaders had all
returned to their usual occupations and
everything was again as quiet as usual.
Similar intelligence from all along the
line west brought similar information.
There have been no disturbances any
where. The report that a supposed
''spotter' had been half drowned by the
strikers was the puTest fiction.

Nh STRIKE BEGUN.

In accordance with the determination
of the meeting all of the employees at the
round house, the car shops, the yards and
the train men gathered together and
before the whistle usually blew for work
to begin at : O'Clock they formally decided
to at nee go upon a strike. The an
nouncement of this decision was received
with enthusiasm by all and the employees
quit work to a man. The news Of the
ommencement of the strike spread like
wildfre through the city, and indeed it
had Heretofore been apparent that such
was the case for 10 whistles were heard
and there was no ringing-nothing but
the putting and wheeling ofthe
PONY ENGINE
as it posted up and down the side tracks
ike a Texas steer in Il corral looking for
an aperture through which an escape
could be affected, indicated that there was
any life or vitality left in that portion of
the great Union Pacific railway which
winds its way through Cheyenne.
As the sun mounted high in the heavens
the excitement increased, hui it was an
excitement that did not manifest itself
very much on the surface. All around
the city there was really an unusual quiet
ness, which told louder than words could
have done that something unusual had
happened.

very heavy freight, pulled out for Denver
unmolested, while No. 3, followed also by
a freight train, started out, and during
the entire day the trains were not rs u

crowd would not permit coal and water to
be taken in, nor would they allow oilers
and whcel-tappers to pursue their avOca-
tions.
STATING THE POINT.
In his rambles among the large crowd
Of men who were t%hronging the railroad
grounds, the reporter overheard much ex-
cited discussion among the railroad men
in regard to the situation. One man was
heard to remark, Now see here, | will
state the whole thing in a nutshell. Here
is a man working for the railroad company
who gets 81. so, and there are a good many
such. They cut him down to Sl.35 per
day and he has to pay 81 per week for his
board; what does it leave hin? Why he

Il very few words. 1t was now getting
toward noon, when suddenly
THIRTEEN SHOTS
We're fired in quick succession some dis
lance down beyond the railroad track and
somewhat TO tho left. This caused a
great connection in that part of the city,
and all sorts of stories and rumors were
started at once. Some thought that Il
fight had commenced among some of the
railroad men, and that there was going to
be Il fearful time. Finally, however,
the fears of the crowd were somewhat al
layed when it was ascertained that the
firing was nothing but u battle between
the police and tramps at the pesthouse,
in which one of the latter was shot and
wounded. The crowd became orderly
nee more after this assurance but it was
easy to see that many were of the opin-
ion that TIE whole city was standing on a
volcanic foundation and that a very little
indiscretion might precipitate Il tumult
and bring about a very bad state of
affairs.

NEWS FROM

In the meantime dispatches in large
numbers had been received from all
quarters explaining the situation as it ex-
listed elsewhere, and especially at Laramie
City. At that place the strike was in full
blast-nearly six hundred men being en-
gagged. They had held meetings the day
before and had decided to take this step,
and, in pursuance of this design, had de-
termined to stop all trains e~ndeavoring TO
pass through that city. Among the first
trains which were stopped was No. 2com-
ing east. The train was blockaded and
stopped by the multitude, who would not
permit it to start out in this direction.
They ever chained some of the brake APP
Superintendent Dickinson appeared upon
the scene and expostulated with the
crowd, but at first they would not listen
to him. Finally he admonished them
that they were blockading the United
States mail, and concluded his speech by
simply importuning the crowd to let the
train go on. The strikers eventually
yielded the point, and the train came on
over the hill. From other points also
the news poured in, and it had the effect
to greatly strengthen the backbone of the
movement, although there was not up to
this time visible manifestation of undue
excitement, in fact, it was the reverse.
At about this time THE LEADER reporter
stood on the corner of one of the principal
street where he could look through the
streets in four directions, and counted only
six vehicles of all kinds moving about, and
there were less than thirty persons to be
seen in the neighborhood.

Dyeing Cut Flowers.

Many uses have been found for dyes
outside the textile kingdom, but perhaps
the most remarkable discovery for their
utility has just been made by an English
chemist. 1t has for long time been
known that the color of growing flowers
can be altered by simply mixing little
stuff with the mold in the flower-pot.
No one, however, has hitherto thought
OF changing the color of flowers when
cut. There are in London many artists
whose business it is to give to birds
finer feathers than nature has allowed
them, and they have now counterpart
III flowers. Mr.. Nesbit, distinguished
botanist, has found that bv simply
soaking the stems OF cut flowers III q
weak dye solution, their color can be
altered at will. without the perfume or
freshness being destroyed. Most
beautiful effects are produced by pre-
pared lakes. Singular to say, flowers
refuse TO absorb certain colors, while
they dispose of others in different man
ners. If placed in mixed solution
they make a complete analysis, and
some lilies that had been treated with
purple showed distinct red and blue
veins, the colors having been divided in
the process of absorption. Mr.. Nesbit
is still engaged in his Investigations.

Norwegian Farming.

Farming in the Norwegian valleys
presents some unique aspects. Grain,
potatoes and turnips grow in little
patches. Meadow hay is carefully cut
aud cured on rods or ropes supported
on tall poles. Evcry corner on which
grass will grow is utilized for hay, even
the little hooks among the crags, from
which it is lowered to the valleys 10y
means of ropes or wires, that nothing
may be lost. The scandinavian cows
are of peculiar national breed. and
not only they, but goats, and even ewes,
contribute to the cheese watts. Horses
are seldom larger than mere ponies.
These little animals do all the farm
work, for in Norway oxen are employed
for tillage. Norway is sparseiy set
tied. Emigration is taking away its
more ambitious sons and daughters.
But its people are intensely patriotic.
