A CONSPIRACY.
The Alleged Dynamite Plot . Conspiracy
Against tho Brotherhood.

The Alleged Dynamite Plot . Conspiracy
Against tho Brotherhood.
NV YeRK, July "a meeting of session
No. 206 Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, was held yesterday. Less than
twenty members were present. The usual
attendance averaged nearly 200. From
several members who are employed on var
ious railways running into this city it is
learned that after the routine business had
been disposed of, the general situation in
regard to the Chicago, Burlington Il Quincy
strike was informally discussed, but no
measures were proposed or suggested relat-
ing to the future action of the Brotherhood
in extending further aid to the strikers. The
last assessment of IS per head which was
levied a few days ago was enforced.
Several members of the Brotherhood who
were seen By Tribune reporter at the rail-
way stations in the city generally expressed
opinions which showed that the members in
the east are discouraged by the disclosures
made last week in the alleged dynamite plot
to wreck trains and property on the G. B.
& @. road. They will not countenance the
use of any violent or unjust means to attain
ing the ends for which the strike was be-
gun. It was stated the discoveries referred
to we're a complete surprise to the men here,
and the belief was expressed when the full
details were made public that it will be
found that the whole affair ia q conspiracy
against the Brotherhood.

A Newspaper Man and the Wife Of . Prom
inent theatrical Manager Elope.
ST. LOUIS, July THE most startling So
cial sensation that has occurred here for
many years was revealed to the public this
afternoon when it was announced that
Henry w. Moore, managing editor of the
Post Dispatch, and the wife of John w.
Norton, manager of the Grand opera house
and Olympia theatre, left the city
together last night in q clandestine
and scandalous manner. From devel-
opments it appears the couple have
been unduly intimate for over two years,
day last, when the fact was conveyed to him
through an anonymous letter. On Thurs
day evening Norton met Moore and Mrs.
Norton at the corner of Lucas and Jefer-
son avenue, in the western part of the city,
and attempted to shoot Moore, but was dis
armed by q friend who was passing at the
time. Mrs. Norton yesterday removed her
money and other valuables from the Safe
Deposit company, amounting to about &C.,
600, and at 10 O'Clock last night she and
Moore left the city in carriage.
At this writing it is not known where they
went, nor who drove them out Of town. Mrs.
Norton, before her marriage, was named
Emma Stockman, and was very handsome
was born in Baltimore, and il well known
throughout the east. Norton is known
the country over a. q successful theatrical
manager and cultivated the acquaintance Of
gentlemen of high character both in and out
Of the profession. Moore has been man
aging editor of the Post Dispatch for sew
eHal years, and has q most estimable wife,
who is now at Manitou Springs, Colo, with
her only child, boy of years.

passed providing for the sale of the cite OF
Fort Omaha. Neb., and appropristing $780,.
900 for the purchase of new site, and the
construction of suitable buildings thereon

the whole on the tariff bill, the pending
amendment being offered by Mr.. Cannon
of Illinois, to the sugar schedule.

protective duty on sugar. It had been dem.
onstrated that the highest grade of sugar
could de made from sorghum produced in
Kansas. The experiments at Fort Scott,
two years ago failed because of too much
scientific manipulation. He pleaded with
the house not to strike down this young in
dustry, which promised so much reli IF to
the farmer.
Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, opposed the
amendment.
Mr.. Ryan, of Kansas, argued in favor of
protection to the sugar industry.
