Elevated Engineer. Confer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-About 800 engin-
GERS and firemen employed on the elevated
railroads met on Eighty-sixth street tonight
to hear the report of the grievance commit
tee as to the result of its interview and con-
ference to-day with the officials of the COM
pany. W. w. Thompson, chairman of the
committee, said so far as the conference
had gone it was satisfactory, and Chief
Arthur would give the details. George
Royal, prominent member of the brother
hood. made vigorous speech. i'm which he
urged caution and prudence on the part of
the men, and while not abating a jot of
their just demands, to meet any and all
overtures from the other side in a dignified
and a courteous spirit. Grand Chief Arth ur
then explained the particulars of the con-
ference, which ended in a delay being
granted by the committee to the
company till tomorrow at 8 p. M. when
another conference would be held. He said
the committee had reason to be satisfied
with the courteous reception accorded by
the company, and requested the men to be
patient and just to the committee. As to
his own reputed wealth, Chief Arthur re-
marked that if he had a house as fine as
that Of any railroad manager in the country.
it was because he had worked hard and
never spent dime tor drink. The meet
ing adjourned after an informal ballot
among the men.

MAssILLoN, o., Jan. 5.-The prelimin-

ton under a statute of the state framed in
accordance with the provisions of the civil
rights bill. which, as far as known, is the
first suit brought in Ohio under the law, and
which will probably result in testing the
constitiOnality of the act. The defendant is

this city. He was arraigned before Justice
Francis for refusing to cut the hair of Albert
Grant, a young man of his own race
Two weeks ago the defendant moved into
an elegant new shop in the Conrad house.
and those of his own color whom he had
formerly shaved were given to understand
that he did not desire their patronage any
longer, fearing that their presence would
drive away his profitable white customers.
No defense was entered upon and the JUS
tice sent the case to the probate count.
Fields intends to test the validity of the

A STORM IN THE ROCKIES.

DENVER, Col, Jan. Ga storm of I'M

The blockades on the railroads are in West

known for years. The signal service Off

Rocky mountains four days ago, when the

Northern Colorado the thermometer varied
from zoe to 80 > below zero. At TenneS-

Gated SO below. This intensely cold

has Oh board the Michael StrogOff'' CON-
pany. All freight traffic has been aban-
doned. The worst phase of the storm is the
necessary disastrous effect it will have on
the cattle interests. 1t is thought that the
storm will cause high death rate in South
ern Colorado. not because of the snow par
ticularly, but because of the cold weather
and the high winds. Along the Arkansas
valley the herds are drifting to the river
and showing unmistakable evidences Of
exposure and fatigue. In the mountain

cessively severe. The larger portion of
these valleys are out of the reach of tele-
graphic communication. In the valleys
heard from, especially in Western and
Northern Colorado. west of the continental
divide. the snow is reported to be unusually
deep and the streams frozen. The I'M
parralleled cold weather in Northern New
Mexico will cause great damage to the
mammoth herds grazing there. Hundreds
