Michigan Central Engineers and
Brakemen Growing Restless,
While the Switchmen are Howling for a
Strike--.J John i. Sullivan Coming
Eome---A Collision at Sea-
General News.

CHICAGO, April 3.-[Special. Mot a
Wheel has turned in the Michigan Cen
tcal yards since o'clock this morning,
and while no strike has yet been de-
clared, the Chicago end of the road, at
least for the present, is completely
tied up, engineers, fiTemen and switch
men having deserted their posts. The
officials will not admit that there is a
strike, but simply say they are doing
no work today. 1t was learned that a
committee of Brotherhood engineers
are here from Jackson, Mich, who are
earnestly opposed to the strike, and
they are laboring with their brethren
here to prevent one being declared.
This is why the road officials will not
admit that there is a strike. They
are simply giving the men little hOli-
day. The cause of the present state of
affairs in the Michigan Central yards
is the presence there of 80" freight
which was delivered yesterday, and the
announcement by the Michigan Cen
tral official that they would handle all
such freight delivered. Mr. l.. HON.
medien, who, with Superintendent
Brown, is managing affairs for the
company, said: "We intend to give our
men as much grace as possible, At Z
o'clock this morning Mr.. Brown and
myself were here ready to carry out
the program announced yesterday.
That is to say, that all cars received by
this company, was to be handled with
out discrimination, or we would dis
miss the men who refused. AS we were
proceeding to do this, delegation of
our road engineers entered the office at
1905 a. m. They had few moments
previous arrived from Jackson, Mich,
where they had been deputed by
Brotherhood men on the Michigan Cen
tral to come here and endeavOr to ar
range matters satisfactorily. They said
they would at once call meeting OF
our yard employees who were Objecting
to handling Burlington freight, and
urged that all action be in the mean
time suspended. AS matter of cOur-
tesy t. our old employees, we readily
consented "They will be given ample
time of course"
"How long?"
"Well, until noon at least"
The statement that no work was
done in the yards after a. M, it is ex-
planned by the company's representa-
tive, does not mean that the Michigan
Central passenger service was inter
fered with. All passenger trains this
morning arrived and departed prompt
". The strike was confined to switch
engineers, firemen and switchmen in
the local freight yards of the company

the Question Raised by the

LITCHFtELD, ILL.,, April 2.-[Spe-
cial. Five years ago Thomas Davis
came to Litchfeld, and few days after
his arrival a wealthy citizen was rob-
bed at the muzzle of a pistol. Samuel
Waldrop was constable at the time
and arrested Davis for the oifense.
The case at first was not strong against
the accused, but Waldrop worked
hard and secured his conviction
Davis was sentenced to serve
seven years in the penitentiary, and
when sentence was p Onounced he
turned to WaldrOp and sa d: 81 swear
to God, if l ever get out I'll kill you"
No attention was paid to this threat,
and Davis was conveyed to Chester,
where he served his time and was re-
leased last week under the good time
rule. Saturday he returned to Litch-
field, but was only recognized by a few
people. Yesterday he called at Wal
drops residence and asked to see Wal
drop. The latter, who is no longer con-
necGed with the administration of law,
came to the door,
rs your name Waldrop?" asked Da-
Wis.
"Yes, sir"
"My name is Tom Davis, and I've
come to kill you, as | swore would"
Before Waldrop could move, Davis
fired three times, killing him instantly

a great number of whom did banking
with Brownfeld. He has given up

So Say the Striking Engineers,

SO" Strikers Still Firm
Other News.

CHICAGO, April A. Especial. THE
final result of the meetings of tie EN-
plOyeS of the various roads of this CITY,
which began yesterday afternoon and
lasted until a late hour last night, was
announced this morning in the declara-
ton that the boycott against the 20"
cars has been permanently raised, and
henceforth the contest will be confined
strictly to the "Q' system. This rails
ing of the boycott means that strikes
now on except the 20" are stopped
forthwith, and all those which we're
imminent will be averted. The busi-
ness of Chicago is to be restored and
maintained by the strikers with strict
decOrum. Other roads are absolved
from the requirements of neutrality and
violence will be discountenanced ac-
cording to the well known policy of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neerS. Speeches were made by General
Manager Jetfreys, of the Illinois Cen
tral road, Grand Master Sargent, of
the Firemen's Brotherhood, Grand
Master Monaghan, of the Swtchmen's
Association and others, all of which
were well received. At later meeting
Of the men the action of the mass
meeting was ratified, and the employees
of each road instructed to notify their
employers, and be ready to report for
duty everywhere except at the Bur
IingtOn yards today. The committees
set out at once to visit the different Of
ficials, and later reported that all had
accepted the action of the meeting, and
the restoration of traffic this morning
would be as complete and harmonious
as it had been since the engineers
abandoned the CO." The action of the
meeting does not affect the attitude of
the "Q.' strikers.

members Of the jury, and that they had

Mr.. Berry that | was obliged to him,

that he was Know Nothing and a

Sunday afternoon about five o'clock the
bull ring here was crowded. Several
prisoners, witnessing the fight under
guard, set fire to the building. A panic
seized the vast assemblage and a fright
full loss of life resulted. Eighteen lives
were lost by persons being burned to
death, while ten others were so badly
burned they will probably die. Two
hundred others were more or less
burned, bruised and trampled upon by
the crowds and tossed by the maddened
bulls, which escaped from their pens
into the crowd. Women and children
jumped from the upper side of the ring,
distance of 20 or 30 feet,
and were badly hurt, some
seriously. Among the dead were sew
eral women, who were gored to death
by the bulls and afterWard burned to

terrible. Many persons lost their rea-
son from the severe mental shock. In
the confusion the prisoners who had
set the ring on fire made their escape.

DR.. r. G. Flower, the Eminent Boston
Physician.

fnySlClan,
Few men in America today are better
known than DR.. r. g. Flower of Boston,
whose magnificent Health Palace, now
approaching completion at the Hub,
bids fair to be the most perfect health
establishment in the world. DR..
Flowers fame has steadily increased
since the day he entered the profession;
his cures have been as remarkable as
his method of examination or dag
nOsing disease, which is at once novel
and marvellous. Instead of asking the
visitor to describe their symptoms
according to the method of ordinary
physicians, Dr.. Flower prefers to know
absolutely nothing about the person
desiring an examination. He simply
takes the strangers hand and places it
to his ear, which enables him to instant
ly detect and describe not only the
disease but the precise condition of the
sufferer far more accurately than they
could themselves. Our readers will be
pleased to learn that this great physi-
clan will be at the Grand Hotel, Gin
cinnati, o., Wednesday, April IL; Neil
House, Columbus, o., Thursday, April
IL; MonOngahela House Pittsburg, Pa,
Friday, April 13; ftillman House,
Cleveland, o., Saturday, April IA, where
he can be consulted with tie same
privileges as though at his office in
Boston.
