AUSTIN, TEX, Oct, 2S.--Politics are IN
regular whirl to-night. James r. New
comb, Republican candidate for congress
against Joe ,Sayera, addressed q small
crowd, mostly colored, at the corner OF
the Avenue and Pecan street. Newcomb
attacked Sayers' position on the tariff and
preached a regular high protection
sermon. He also invciched against
Sayers' position ON the blair bill, and
thought such man as Joe Sayers ought
not 10 have seat In congress. New
oomb's speech was coldly received by his
sable hearers and avinced no enthusiasm
whatever, in fact they did not seem to un.
derstand what Newcomb was talking
about.
ExMayor DEGREES also made speech
on the Republican side.
In another part OF the city a Democrat
lc meeting was going on at the temporary
capitol, at which Hon. B. M. Baker, state
superintendent OF education held fourth.
He was followed by II. S. Maxey and Hon.

touched many a heart in the Magic City.

OMNIBUS SIGNS.
Fifty Deputy U. S. Marshals Arrive,
More TO Follow"
The Strikers Still 0rderIy--The U.
P. Will Open the Road.

Contrary to the expectations that had
been entertained in some quarters, no set
Element or understanding was arrived
at between the striking brakemen and the
Union Pacific authorities yesterday. On
the contrary. the situation, as the sequel
shows, became more complicated than
ever before the day was over.
Yesterday the strikers turned in,
switched around and even helped in some
cases to unload eleven carloads of freight
belonging to Cheyenne parties which had
been standing in the yard since Monday.
Yesterday it was rumored. and so far as
could be a%scertained it was well based,
the greater portion of the striking brake.
men were discharged and paid of. The
LEADER gives the above, which appeared
to be a reliable rumor, for what it is
worth. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
everything was quiet at the yards and
shortly thereafter a freight train oftwenty-
FIVE cars arrived from the East, having
been brought in by Superintendent Duel.
Most of these cars we're for Cheyenne
parties. The mail and passenger trains
ran as usual without trouble.
There was some excitement toward
dark, and shortly thereafter there were
gatherings of railroad men and others on
the railroad grounds, The train from
the East was three hours late and by the
time it arrived in the city there were
probably as many as 700 people around
the depot and on the railroad grounds
1t had been rumored that the eastern
train would bring in fifty brakemen; some
said special deputy United States mar
shal. and there was consequently much
excitement, hut no disorder. When the
train arrived last evening it was
noticed hat the windows and shutters OF
one of the cars near the center of the
train we're closed and toward this car the
crowd eventually made a rush. At the
same time there disembarkcd from the
car fifty prospective deputy United States
marshals, brought from Omaha, who
formed in two ranks and marched first tc
the Pacific hotel, where they took then
supper, and latterly to the superintend
ent's Office, where they were all sworn in
by United States Marshal Carr They
were all well armed. and being stalwart
looking chaps presented a very formidable
appearance. The appearance of this body
Of men caused much suppressed excite
ment and there was much speculation as
to whether the train on which they came
and on which they were to depart-Lara'
mic City being their destination-would
be able to reach hat place or not. Al
quite a late hour last night, however
the train pulled out, the crowd at tn
depot still numbering hundreds. Thi
body of special United States marshals i
to be followed by 100 more to'day, VIII,
will reach Cheyenne at . o'clock p. m.
and 1t now appears to be the determine
ton of the company to open the road a
all hazards.

James Reynolds is to be hung at Sid
ney, Neb., on May 81. 1t will be re-
membered by the readers Of The LEADER
that Reynolds, several months ago, com
mitted a foul murder a few miles out Of
Sidney. Shortly before the murder he,
with two other men from Missouri, set
tied on a ranch neal Sidney. His two
companions had $500, and while asleep
Reynolds murdered them both by splitting
their heads open with an AK. He hauled
their bodies away nearly half a mile and
buried them. Then setting fire to the
cabin. he came into Sidney and reported
that the three had been held up" by a
gang of desperadoes; that the two had
been murdered, and that he Reynolds)
had been forced to help bury them. This
story. however, proved too thin" and
since his trial, conviction and sentence he
has confessed the whole thing.

Two of the members of the late lamen-

went westward night before last, and on
yesterday they were around the city in a
demoralized state and cut up some queer
antics. In fact, their performances were
of such a character that an officer was
sent out to round them up, but in the
meantime they had quietly subsided, and
were not to be found.
