Won't Join the knights.

The following from yesterdays
GlObe-DemOcrat settles the oft moOted
questions regarding an alliance OF the
engineers with the knights of Labor ::
The annual meeting of the griev.
ance comm ttee of this district of
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
was held Yesterday morning at the
Lacle lie. and officers for the ensuing
year were chosen. b. w. Vedaer, Of
Sedalia, was elect. q chairman :; j. f.
JOYCE, of De Soto, alternate chairman
and r. w. Gibson of Palestine, Tex,
secretary and treasurer. Sc; rotary
joyce stated to a Globe Democrat re-
porter that the meeting would proba-
bly, he OfshOrt duration, as there were
no grievances To he cDI sidered TIE
locomotive engineers hai made con
tract with the railroad companies
which had beeen strictly observed by
both parties, and there was no cause
for complaint in any qu'rter. When
questioned as to the probability of the
locomotive engineers joining the
Knights of Labor, Mr.. J. yce said that
such move was not Within the
bounds of possibility. They were very
well cOntented syhere they were, and
so far from thinking of jOinging any
other organization, no locomotive en-
sineer could join the association un-
less he resigned from any other labor
organization to which he might belong
as double membership had been alb
sOlutely prohibited"

The Train Mystery.

ElsewhereIis made mention OF the
reported suicide of a passenger on
the Missouri Pacific train Saturday
night speaking ofthe matter the Kan
sss City Evening News of Yesterday
says:
"a stranger whose name could
not he learned committed suicide, it Is
supposed, on the Missouri Pacific pass
enger train yesterday evening. There
is every reason to believe that this
man is defaulter of the state of New
Jersey land probably of Elizabethtown.
The man was about 40 years old
and acted very strangely on the
train. He was in the chair car and
before reaching Peasant Hill went in
to the private apartment devoted to
ladies. A porter followed him shortly
but could not get in. The door was
finally burst in and the train hands
say that blood was found upon the
fioer. Whether this is true or not is
doubtful. hut the fact remains that
the man is missing and must be iden-
titled.
1t is believed by one of the passen-
gers on the train that he recognized
the missing man on the streets to-day,
but it is doubtful. If the train men
found blood upon the floor it is
another evidence Of a police system
that discovers absolutely" nothing.

Gilbert'S Gall.

Frank III. Gilbert was before his
honor yesterday charged with being
drunk Gilbert is new conner in
this section and claims to hail from
Wyoming and to be on his way home
to Virginia. He further claims 10 be
broke and charges the fault upon his
Maker instead of himself. He also
claims to be a Mason, but the evil
dence adduced goes to show that he is
first-class fraud and deadbeat, if he
is anything. On his person was found
a paper setting forth that the bearer,
Frank III. Gilbert, was. owing to much
sickness in his family, in reduced and
destitute circumstances, that he was
seeking to reach his home in Virginia
from Wyoming, where he had been.
Quite a number of Sedalia's best citi-
zens had signed the paper, one of them
gave dollar, most os the others fifty
cents and the remainder quarter. AT
ter securing a very handsome sum
Gilbert proceeded to saloon and
spent a sufficient time playing cards
and drinking whisky. He was shortly
after picked up by the police glorious
ly drunk and dead broke. His honor
yesterday fined him S. and sent him
below. His case is one of those that
show the crying need of a work house
where he could be taught how hard is
the way of the transgressor and at the
same time be made to eirn his living.

A Sad Sight.

"Mr, will you please give me a
nickle to buy some medicine for my
sick grandma - said little 5.vear-old
waif to a reporter yesterday. The ht-
tie one was handsome girl. with a
delicate, handsome, intelligent face,
and a form thar gives promise of a
budding womanhoOd that might be a
blessing if properly developed.
"Who is your grandma ," asked the
scribe.
Mrs. Rutledge."
~ here does she live?"
SIN Stringtown."
"Who is your MOTHER
"Mrs. Dyer"
"Where do she livey"
with grandma"
"What does she do"
"She don't do nothing"
"Where is your father?'
"He is in the penitentiary for kill
ing a man."
"Does your ma send you out to
beg?"
ayes, SIR"
"What is your namey"
"Maude Allen Dyer"
"Why do you not 90 to Officer
Kelley for help"
cause ma says he wont DO moth
ing for us"
Every one is familiar with the histO-
~ of this unfortunate family and of
the amount of trouble and cost they
have heen to the public, more from
mate shilftlessness anu deliberate
wrong doing than from any
other cause. Dee Dyer. the
Dyer, the father, was sent to the pen
from Moberly some time since, for
shooting one of a gang, who it was
charged, made an attack upon his
home and insulted his wife. Had it
not been for Dyer's previous bad re-
cord, it is altogether likely he would
have been cleared of this offense, but
he previously served one term in the
pen and was known as a bad man
besioss which, after the killing he fled
from justice and was captured in
this city and returned to Moberly.
All this, however, does not Justify his
wife in making common beggars of
her little ones as she is Systematically
doing, and unless she will try to sup
port them decently and seek aid by
proving herself worthy oft and doing
what she can honestly for herself and
them, they should be taken from her |
and placed where they can be proper
ly reareu.

Several officials of the Missouri
Central road were in the city yester-
day incog, one of them informed a
BAzoo reporter cOnfidentially that
DIR. Gould's new move to cut them
out would probably result in some
very startling changes of programme
by the new road as well as by the
managers of the new Colorado route.
He declined to say what the changes
would be but remarked significantly
"They will not be likely to prove det-
rimential to the interests of your
CITY,"

Late i'm the Day.

Referring to the great Southwestern
strike Congressman Mcclure, who is
at present in 1t. Louis. says that the
public was mistaken in suppOsing
Martin Irons to be the only lie der in
authority. "At that time it Was not
necessary To get the consent of the
general board to inaugurate q strike,
Mr.. Mcguire stated, "but the local
districts had that power. Martin
Irons was chairman of district assem-
bly, 101, and the strike was controlled
by an executive board composed of
the chairmen of districts II and 63 in
addition to Irons. He was not the
chairman of this executive board, and
was subordinate to it in
every respect. The way
he has been misunderstood and
blamed is entirely wrong"
The impression that Mr.. Irons was
disgraced by the general executive
board is also unfounded. He is still
a member in good standing of a Sc
daIia assembly and holds a travelling
card and receipt for dues"
o 1t took a long time for the "cOm-
mites" to exhOnerate Martin. When
the press and the people were pouring
their wrath in red hot strain on him,
the committee" never said a word
in his defense. How was this?

bitterly fought by both sides and will
prove of interest as test case In

nance.
