A GREAT RAILROAD TRUST.
Combine of All the Western Companies.
violation of Interstate Law.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Regarding the
much talked of conference between
Chairman AIidgley and several railroad
magnates, in New York, a local paper
says: "For several weeks past Jay
Gould, G. p, Huntington, Charles Fran
els Adams, W. B. Strong and other rail
road magnates interested in western
railroads have been holding conferences
in New York in which Chairman Midg-
ley, OF the Southwestern Railway Asso-
citation, has taken prominent part.
The object OF these conferences has been
kept profound secret.
Saturday the announcement was made
that the conferences has come to an end
and that an agreement had been made
whereby the troubles among the South
western roads would be ended and rates
be advanced from twenty-five to thirty
FIVE per cent, as soon as possible. But
this announcement was no nearer the
truth than the previous reports regard
ing the mysterious conference. The
railroad magnates evidently desired to
keep everybody in Ignorance OF the
actual Importance OF the proposed agree
ment until all arrangements had been
perfected and the new scheme put in
operation. 1t has been learned, however,
that the project contemplates nothing
more nor less than the formation OF a
gigantic railroad trust or clearing
house." comprising all the roads
between points west OF line
drawn through Chicago and Milwaukee
on the east, st. Paul and Minneapolis
on the north, Colorado, New Mexico and
Wyoming on the west, and Arkansas OH
the south. All the existing freight and
passenger associations within the terri
tory named are to be abolished and
merged in the new trust or clearing
house as it is named. There is to'be an
Executive Board OF three which shall
devote its entire attention to the affairs
OF the clearing house" and be instruct-
ed with aii matters connected Herewith.
One OF the three is to be elected chair
man OF the "clearing house" and the
other two be known Us vice chairman OF
the freight department aad vice chair
man OF the passenger department, re-
spectively. The chairman, it is under
stood, is 10 be J. w. Midgley, who, un-
der the terms of agreement, would be
greater man than Commissioner Fink,
Virtually having full control ofthe man
agemeht SO far as traffic affairs are con-
Cerned, OF all the roads between Chicago
and the Rocky Mountains.
Three propositions, it is understood,
were presented ut the New York confer.
ence, one providing for division OF
traffic, another for division OF earnings
and u third for u Clearing house." 1t
was decided TO accept the latter, because
the former were likely to bringthe roads |
into conflict with the Inter State Com
mercc law. 1t is believed, however,
that the trust or clearing house plan is |
as much in conflict with the law MS the
other propositions, as it is nothing more
or less than pooling OF all the railroad
interests in the west.
The fuii text OF the new plan OF agree
ment is also given, tho paper stating that
it has only been submitted to few OF
the leading railroad presidents.

A SPLIT IN 7HE G. A. R.
Democratic Veterans Withdraw
ing and Forming a New Order.
A VERY CHILDISH PROCEEDING
Because the c. A. II. Refused to Sup
port Mr.. Cleveland and his SYM
pathizers they "Get Mad aud
Won't Play Any More"

INDIANAPOLIS, ND. Nov. 26-About
twelve hundred Democratic veterans,
members OF G. A. R. posts scattered over
the State, held in the capitol building last
night asecretmeeting, at which 1t was re-
solved that every Democratic member of
the G. A. r. should abandon the order,
and all present pledged themselves TO
withdraw from their posts. Adjutant
General Koontz presided.
A name and a constitution for the
new order proposed by the Democratic
veterans were adopted. The new order
is to be charitable and non.political in
character. Another meeting will be
held tonight, and on Wednesday even
ing there will be public mass meeting
in the city hall, when the reasons for
deserting the G. A. R. will be given, and
the principles and objects OF the new
order laid before the public.
Adjutant General Koontz says similar
meetings will be held all overthe State
within the next week. Mr.. Koontz said
lhhb evening tuat NC uau letterB lTuu,
men in eight States indicating that the
movement is National. Among the
letters received was one from John A.
Norman, Secretary Of the Democratic
Societies Of Pennsylvania, promising
that every Democratic soldier in Penn
sylvania will leave the Grand Army of
the Republic. The President OF the
Societies, who ran against Beaver for
Governor, is at the head OF the move
mcnt in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Koontz says that but few Indiana
Democrats have attended the Grand
Army meetings since the election be-
cause all the pests have been holding
meetings ratifying the election Of Harri-
son and Hovey. 1t is pretty generally
believed that Congressman Matson is ut
the head OF the movement, but SO far he
has made no public statement. 1t is
known that he feels very sore because
the Grand Army OF the Republic, as an
organization, worked against him, and
his friends here say that he will follow
the example Of General Palmer, of 1lli-
nois.

Special Dispatch TO ths faielIGsaeer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 27.-The
Supreme Court adjourned again until 10
O'Clock tomorrow, no motion being
made by st. Clair, counsel for Fleming,
Anderson and others, who stated TO the
court that Fleming had not yet arrived /;
that he had petition prepared for a
writ OF prohibition against the County
Court of Kanawha to prevent it from
canvassing certain returns for Governor,
Congress and others. Hc asked the
court to allow until 10o'clock tomorrow
to wait Fleming's presence, John A.
Hutchinson, for the Republican State
Committee, offered to appear and waive
any affidavit or formality on the part Of
Fleming, and stated that the Court of
Appeals had no jurisdiction in the mat.
ter stated by st. Clair.
Judge Snyder, from the bench, in
ouired whether it was not n matter for
the Circuit Court or the judge in vaca-
ton, il any such remedy existed. The
court by Judge Johnson, president, said
they were inconvenienced by being
called together without anything being
ready for action, aud that they did not
propose to give further time than to-
morrow for st. Clair's application. tits
apparent that the court has no power
over the subject Of the petition. Coun-
sci for the Republicans are confident it
will SO decide.
Full preparation has been made to
meet these questions, both before the
Court Of Appeals and other courts.
Great interest is being taken in the con-
troyersy here.
Reliibla reports show that in Boone
and Logan counties the election was
conducted in such way that the Demo-
cratic majorities will be thrown out be-
yond question II contested. The contest
will be made at the proper time, il the
Democrats go into that subject in any Of
the counties where the Republicans
have majorities, A contest OF this
nature would undoubtedly result in the
seating OF the entire Republican State
ticket, and give the West Virginia cleo
tors to Harrison aud Morton.
Nothing further will be done about
Smiths election in the Fourth district,
unless Jackson contests in the way pre-
scribed by Congress. Mr.. Smith left for
home to-day. The recount in Kanawha
continues. 81. Albans was counted to-
day and Fleming aud Anderson gained
three each, leaving SlcGinnis' majority
in the district six.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-At the sitting OF
the Parnell commission to-day Sergeant
GiIhoolcy, OF county Kerry, testified con I.
cerning outrages. He said that an in
crease OF police had been necessary at
Castle Island.
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the
Parnellites, interrupting the witness,
said: ave admit all that. We are sick
and tired OF reiteration entailing enor-
nous expense. Presiding Justice Ham
men said he hoped the details would be
given as briefly as possible. Witness,
continuing, said that since 1880 the police
force has been doubled. Prior to the
founding of the league in 1880 the dis
trict was quiet. Afterwards, however,
outrages had been general. On cross
examination witness said he kept a book
for recording outrages. Sir Charles Rus
sell demanded that the book be pro-
duced. Sir Henry James, OF the Times
counsel. said the book contained letters
and official communications respecting
certain persons, and it was desirable they
should be published.
Sir Charles Russell asked: "Why
should the Times counsel have access to
the book and we be denied the same
privilege? Until the judges rule other
wise l shall continue to call for this and
every other book referred TO in the caSe.p
Mr.. Reid, for the Parnellites, also
urged that the book be produced. He
said il council were not allowed to see
the book they would not have an oppor-
tunity to meet the case properly.
Justice Hannen said IL was highly de-
sirable that the whole book, including q
column headed Motives" should be
produced. Special entries relating to
certain persons ought not perhaps be
disclosed. He suggested that Sir Henry
james and Sir Charles Russell inspect
the book, and then ii they did not otagree,
the judges themselves would inspect II.
Other policemen then testified at length
concerning outrages.
Mr.. Reid suggested that in order to
save time witnesses should state simply
the number OF outrages they were cog
infant OF and the place in which they
were committed.
Juctice Hammer welcomed the sugges-
ton and Sir Henry James promised to
comply with it as far as possible.

DIsSUADED BY HIS FRIENDS.
The Trial of the Reds Who Plotted
to Blow UP Judges Grlnncl aud
Gary Beslns-very Startling
Confession by Chlcboun.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The trial Of John
II. Hronek, charged with conspiring tc
blow up the home of Judges Gary and
Grinnell and Police Inspector Bonfeld
with dynamite, was resumed this morn
ing, a jury having been secured yester'
day. States Attorney !Lopgneckel
opened the proceedings with predatory
statement of the case for the people.
After Attorney Goldsiei, for the pris'
oner, had outlined his defense, which
was that the dynamite found in his pos
session was given him by a man named
Karaant, Hronek not knowing its na-
ture, the taking Of testimony ws begun.
The first witness was Frank Chleboun,
one OF the conspirators, who has turned
States evidence. He is unable 10 speak
English, and his testimony was taken
through an interpreter. He testified at
length concerning their experiments
with dynamite, and then said: Hronek
gave me a small bomb TO take home. l
kept it few days, but was afraid that it
would explode and gave tito Inspector
Boniield. On several occasions Hronek
had sud that he must have revenge for
the death OF the Anarchists. He showed
him pictures Of Grinnell, Gary and Bon
field. A German named Schneider told
where Grinnell lived and showed plot
Of Aldine's square, and on July 4
Hronek, Chapek, and the went on a
search for the house. They found the
house and took look it. On the way
home HFonek said that President Cleve-
land had harrow escape when on his
visit here. At that time he rHronek]
had bomb ready to throw at the Presi-
dental carriage, but was dissuaded by
Schneider and Nikolden. Hronek's
plans were to kill Bonfield first, but on
talking it over with Capek, decided TO
put an end to Judge Grinnell first. He
said that il no better opportunity offered
he would go into the court and throw
bomb at the Judge, Then II the police
tried 10 capture him he would use u
bomb ON them, and il this failed, he had
n revolver aud would shoot the officers
and then himself. II he got chance at
Grinnell or Gary on the street he would
use a knife.
THE MAN WHO THREW THE BOMB.
Chleboun admitted reluctantly that
he was an Anarchist and had drilled
with the Lehr Uud Wehr Verein, in the
old days before the Hnvmarket episole,
He also said that he had gone to Co.
peck's house to receive instructions in
the art OF making dynamite. He paid
s. for the lesson, but didn't learn any
thing.
lie said Hronek had told him on the
trip to Riverside that he was the man
who threw the bomb at the Haymarket.
At first Chleboun did not believe this,
but after he saw the bombs in Hronck's
possession, he thought that 1t was the
truth and u few weeks later be told At.
torney Fischer about 1t.
