The BrotberboOd Beating Adivurued,

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 25.-The joint
meeting of the brotherhoods met at 2
o'clock this afternoon and concluded
its deliberations, adjourning at 5 o clock.
It tranSpiroS now that the business
of the meeting had very little relating
to settlement of the Burlington diff
culties, but on the contrary was held
for the purpose making war to the
knife on the railroad system.
w. NJ. Oremer. chairman of Div
sion No. Is, Brotherhood of LOcomO-
tive Engineers, offered the following.
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved That meeting heartily
endorses the action taken by the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy men in re-
fusing TO declare the strike off OIL the
conditions offered.
The conditions above referred to are
those which are now being circulated
among the members Of the brotherhood
by HOge and Murphy, and which are
in the main as follows:
That no men shall be blacklisted that
the company shall take back
such men and as many as 1t
may elect and for the-next two years
the company shall employ the late
strikers in preference to other men and
that it shall give letters of recommen-
employment. The Brotherhood con-
strue this proposition as meaning that
the company can stop after taking
back one or dozen men ard the great
mass of the strikers will not be
benefited in the least by the accept
ance of such a proposition. 1t was
unanimously resolved by the meeting
this afternoon that the company be
compelled to take back all of the men.
This means that the situation to-day Is
exactly as it was February II.
One of the objects of this meeting
was to arrange matters financial per-
tanning to the strike. 1t has been
claimed by many that the brotherhood
treasury was depleted and that the
eastern men were in favor OF
declaring the strike off in order that
the assessments for the support of the
strikers might be discontinued. 1t was
stated yesterday by the press commit
tee of the brotherhood that the eastern
men are heartily in favor OF Il continu
ance of the strike, and sufficient
finances were arranged for to carry the
strikers until such time when the fopl
organizations will be federated
| The federation plan was endorsed
by the meeting and it is quite certain
| that in less than four months thu
sche ne will be secure. Each of The
brOtherhoods will hold convention al
| follows to consider the matter: Broth
erhood of Engineers, at Richmond
| Va. in October; Brotherhood of Fire
men, at Atlanta, Ga, in September
| the switchmen at st. Louis i'll Sep
TENDER: Brotherhood of Brakemen, a
Columbus. Ohio, in October
| The first convention will adopt ;
federation clause in its constitution
which " ill be accepted by the othel
conventions at their meeting and whel
this work is accomplished a grand AL
visory board will be established to b
made up of delegates from the fou
organization. 1t will be the bushes
of this board to handle all difficultie
that cannot be adjusted by the variOu
grievance committees and in extrem
cases the chiefs of the four organ
izations will be called in.

Moore and Mrs. Norton at Idaho Springs.

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo, July "a
Editor Moore and Mrs. Norton are
here. Their presence was not dis
covered until to-day, although they ar
rived here on Saturday evening, COM
ing up from Denver on the ColoradGz
Central train. 1t was reported that
the now notorious couple had secretly
come up to the Springs, but as their
whereabouts could not be located, the
rumor was thought to be false. A
couple of Denver newspaper correSpOn-
dents who were sent up were unable to
locate the couple in their report and
gave it as their belief that they had
not arrived here as reported. They were
cropping in the dark, however, for to-
day the couple were found in cottage
boarding-house, where they had quiet
Iy repaired upon their arrival. They
positively declined to talk, and no in
terview of a public, nature has been
held with them, though many were at
tempted. 1t would seem that they
have made no attempt to conceal their
identity at the cottage at which they
are stopping. They have frequently
been seen upon the streets of the viii
lage, creating some comment by their
dashing appearance, but their identity
was not made known until this after
noon. Their stay in Denver was short,
they simply changing cars at the depot
for the mountain resort. Their cottage
is well out of the village upon noun
tain side, and they appear to be enjoy
ing themselves.

Stood Row and Shot.

LIBERAL, KAN, July 27.-James
Gerard, w. L. Linn, G. s. Toby, Geo.
A. Person, D. Goessienn, H. Torrentz,
w. Webb, Billy Chadman, Billy Nc
Kee, Charles Shots, George Shaffer
and Jim Collins, all of Woodsdale,
Stevens county, came in this morning,
as they say, to look after Herbert
Tary, one of their young men who
was wounded in the shooting affray,
and who has since disappeared.
James Gerard, deputy sheriff of
Stevens county, gives the following
account of affairs: A warrant had been
issued to Ed. Short constable and city
marshal. of WOodSdale, for the arrest
of Sam Robinson. Robinson had gone
to the Neutral Strip ana Ed. Short,
William Hansley and Dick Wilson
went after him. They found him in
dugout and ordered him to surrender.
He said he would never surrender to
Ed. Short. Ed. told him he could get
as many men as he wished from the
Strip to go with him to the state of
Kansas. Robinson did not surrender
but got on his horse and made run of
six or seven miles to the Beaver river
where he got fresh horse and
soon diStanced the boys who
then gave up the chase. Sheriff
Cross hearing that Short and his pos
Sc had been corralled down in the strip
started with four men for relief but
they could not find them, so they start
ed back up the Aprairie and went into
camp. While they were asleep HUI
Cotton party surprised and disarmed
them and made them stand up in line
and shot them, killing four and wound
ed one. The deputy sheriff did not
give any names besides those mention
ed above, but G. s. TOdey told your in
formant that the four killed were
Sheriff John Cross, Robert Hubbard,
| G. w. Eaton and r. Wilcox, and that
| Hell bert Tony was wounded. He also
said that there might be one or two
more killed and that he heard Herbert
Reed was wounded but could not say
how he got hurt. There must have
been shooting besides the above affray,
for a boy named Nathan Jones who
was on his return from Stevens county
to Liberal states that he passed near
two squads who were firing at each
other. The latest report that came In
is that eleven men had been killed.
So far reports are very contradictory
and many of them are unreliable, but
there is no doubt that Stevens county
people are in terrible state of excite
ment and that more shooting may b.
