BURLINGToN's NEW BATTLE.
The Strike Of the Switchmen Stops
Traffic

Traffic
CHICAGO, March 24.--Freight traffic on
the Burlington road, which yesterday was
moving practically the same as before the
engineers strike, is at a standstill again to-
day. This condition Of affairs is due to the
action Of the 200 switchmen employed in the
Burlington yards here, who struck early
this morning without any notice whatever
TO the road. The switchmen at Aurora,
ILL.,, also stopped work. The officials de-
cided, however, TO move no freight at all
until this, the second, strike is settled, and
with the exception Of live stock trains in
transit no freight is moving Passenger
trains are running as usual.
NO NOTICE GIVEN.
The company received no notice whatev-
er Of the intention to strike, and has as yet
received no authoritative explanation. The
switchme on, however have been heard TO
sly that they objected TO working on an
engine not handled by Brotherhood man.
AS one of them put it this morning: ~
don't throw another switch for a non Broth
erhood man, and no man can make me. "
In the yards this morning and around
the Brotherhood headquarters it was COM
mon gossip that the switchmen had been
taken into the fold of the Engineers and
and FIremen's Brotherhood in considern-
ton OF their going out on strike. The
officials Of their association have been very
anxious from the beginning Of the strike
trouble that the Brotherhood of Engineers
should take them into their councils and
place them on an equal footing, as they had
done with the tiremen
HEsITANcY OF THE ENGINEERS
The engineers seemed 10th to do it, ard
gave as a reason, that when strikes occurred
among the switchmen IL was not long be-
fore coupling pins were flying through tho
air, and not long after that the militia
or military we're called out. 1t
would seem that the two organizations
have finally come to terms. II is thought
that as fast rs the grievance committees re-
turn TO their homes all the switchmen be-
tween this point and Denver will quit
There are about 200 switchmen employed
by the Burlington road here and 200 or 800
al other poii Is along the line, 50 that in all
about 500 men are involved. About fifty
are employed at Galesburg and all but one
struck this morning.
OFFICIALS AT THE SWITCHES.
Only three switch engines were at work
on the line in Chicago to-day, they being
used for D0king up passenger trains. The
switching for them was done by officials of
the road who volunteered for the work
Chief Arthur was interviewed to-day, but
his ignorance remains as profound rs 10 has
always been since the engineers strike be
ggn. He did not know the switchmen had
struck until he read the announcement in
the papers When asked why the switch
men went out ho repleds
"That's their business, not ours. We
have had nothing TO do with the switch

Brotherhood will attend 10 its own affairs
and will not presume 20 meddle with those

BALFoUR's ESTIMATE OF THIS COUNTRY.
LONDON, May 24.-Mr. Balfour, address
ing the Workmens Federation at Staley
Bridge to-day, said that America stood in
the foremost rank of civilization, and that
next to her stood England. This was owing
to the strength of the conservatism
existing among the working classes
OF those countries. He predicted continued
success of the Unionist government. Re-
ferring to Wilfred Blunt's statements con-
cerning him he said that 1t was abso-
lutely false that he at any time

strued as expressing desire for the death

arrested this morning at the passenger depot

picion of being William b. Tascott, who

tained that he was John l.. Kane, of Phila-
delphia, who is travelling South for his
health. He was discharged. This is the
second man arrested recently on suspicion
of being Tascott The first was an itinerant
printer.
WANTED SOS, 900 AND GOT 500.
The City Court concluded TODAY the suit
of Frank j. Matthews against Kenny &
Werner for $25, 900 damages The plaintiff
in the suit, while in the saloon of the de-
PENDANTS, fell through trap door and was
badly injured. The jury awarded 800 to
the plaintiff. Matthews was not i'll court
during the trial, and the verdict is regarded
as paying the physicians for their services
while he was confined by his injuries.
Pursuant to call, a meeting was held to-
day by the committee, appointed by Mayor
Cooper Monday, TO request the railroads to
grant reduced rates so that travel to Atlanta
could be encouraged from the surrounding
towns. After some discussion committee,

cure rates.
GRANTED ALIMoNY.
This morning Judge Marshall Clarke
heard the suit OF Mrs. Katie Hoppe against
her husband, George E. Hoppe, for ali
mony. 1t was decided to award her tenn
porary alimony of $50 per month.
Reuben Arnold went before Judge Clarke
this morning with writ certiorari against
the City Council of Atlanta The writ set
forth that Con Mehaps' retail liquor license
had been revoked unjustly and that the
City Council had transcribed its au-
thority in revoking the license. Judge
Clark held that the action of the Council
was that of legislative body, and that
Mehan could not gain redress through the
Superior Court. If the City Marshal had
gone to Mehan and forcibly closed his door
there might be some ground for a certiorari.
Mehan will probably reopen his doors next
week to make test case.
William Hopkins and Joseph Hopkins
have both been convicted in the Rabun
County Court for the murder of William
Thomas, whom they waylaid at church
