The life of a railroad official is, after all,
not more settled than that of a circuit

Death on the Rail.

William Vincent, conductor on the l., B.
and w. Road, was killed at Troy, o., some
time during Saturday night. He had left
the csboose to go forward to the engine
while the train was in motion, there being
but seve freight cars to walk. When the
Dext station was reached he was missing.
Word was sent back, and he was found on
the track at the point where he had started
to walk over the train, his body bsing cut In
pieces. He must have missed his footing rs
soon as he bad stepped off the first car. His
remains will be sent here to-day. Vincent
was about thirty. eight years old. His home
has been across the river for several years
and he has been q conductor on the l..
and w. Road for long time. he leaves

for its customers in Western cities. The COM
mittee said: Whatever we do with you will
be in the form OF private negotiations.
We want to get as favorable rates
for customers in Western cities as
possible. We do not intend to operate
publicly, and will have bat little to do with
The press" Mr.. Pearson asked what par
ticulsr special fares were desired. The CON-
mittee replied: 1--WE would leave all these
matters OF detail 10 be settled by your com.
mittee. We expected, however, that We
should name the people to be affected by
these rates. We did not intend to have them
thrown open TO the p lblic. So conspicuous
an organization as Mr.. Fink represents
would hardly like to say IL had adopted as a
general public policy the kind of concession
we ask for. We are willing TO take the risk
Of maintaining privacy, both for your pro-
lection and ours, in this regard. Look
ing the matter over, we have said this:
1t would not do for Mr. Fink. as the
whose lines run hence, TO announce
that il was the policy Of his organ
ization to make special rates for every one.
IL there is a competition between Chicago
and New York that renders it necessary to
use a certain discretion in making these
concessions, let that be employed by the
merchants on the one hand and the railways
on tie other" Mr.. Pierson said to-day:
Here we have the rather remarkable propo-
stion or the Traders and Travellers Union
to go into q secret deal with the pool COM
mittee for the avowed purpose of securing
special favors for mem bers of its organiZa-
ton, which would discriminate against
other patrons of the railways. If this is
not an avo~ed illegal and unjust purpose it
is difficult to say what other construction

Although there is not Republican mem.
Der of the police force who would not gladly
accept the position of sergeant, made vacant
by the resignation of John Reed, none Of
them are hustling as lively as Patrolmen
Low, Rafftery, Cleary and Mccain. and ii is
generally understood that one of these men
will drop into the position. They are al

one Of them will give satisfaction. Ii is
highly probable the Police Commissioners

every point TO receive it. Speaking Of the
order the Globe-Democrat of st. Louis said:
Under this order all Knights OF Labor
must refuse in any way TO handle wabash
railroad stock, and should any yardmaster,
master mechanic, district or division super
intendent, or any other official OF the road
endeavor TO enforce the men 10 handle such
cars. then district strike is ordered. The
situation is about this. On the Wabash road
the Knights of Labor are all, or nearly all,
out and have been for some time; but on the
Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, the Union
Pacific and other roads the Knights are said
20 Ell the shops and yards Thus is this last
order guarantee of q revolution of labor.
IL viii at any rate force public test of the
strength of the Knights of Labor and the
realty 10 the principles which each has sworn
to uphold In fact, the fate of the Organiza-
ton seems to he in the issue. and il remains
to be seen whether the $1,000 Knights, as are
claimed 10 be employed on the railways west
OF the Mississippi river, will obey the call of
the executive board, whom they vested with
this absolute power"
No developments have yet occurred, but
it Is believed that the strike will be inaugur-
ated IN full force on MOnday-just as soon
as the assemblies can hold meetings and act
on the order. The men at the Missouri
Pacific shops in St. Louis say they will not

CINE and was dismissed. The master of the
shop was notified that Hogan must be re-
instated and paid for lost time or a strike
would ensue. Under the orders of the SUI
perintendent Hogan was reinstated and
paid for lost time. Both sides are acting
cautiously. 7. Y. Powderly, grand master
workman of the Knights of Labor, arrived
in Washington, Mo-, on Friday night and
was in consultation yesterday with leading
Knights in reference to the strike. 1t was
thought that a plan OF action would be
agreed upon.
THE FULL FORCE OF THE ORDER
will not be felt by the railroads for several
days yet. All knights are holding them
selves IN readiness for whatever may de-
velOp. The trouble with the Wabash road
has been of long standing. and is not
through any dissatisfaction in the wages.
but from determined effort on the part of
the Gould management to break up the or
ganiZatiOn of the Knights of Labor. Iron
clad OathS were required of the men that
they would join no unions or other organ
lied wOrkingmen, and men who refused to
sign the documents to this effect were at
once discharged. This is the cause OF the
trouble. 1t is not 4 fight of the men again ..
the company, but war by the company
upon lis employees. Events will be anX-
iously awaited.
