persed. The company relaid the tracks,

Conductors Attack the Locomotive En-
gineers' Organization

TORONTO, Ont, May 9.-At meeting OF
the grand division OF the order Of rail-
way conductors held here, Grand Chief
Wheaton in his report referred atlength
to the Brotherhood of locomotive En-
gineers and said that the remedy Of
this organization was a strike. In the
present year the company had been
treated to an exhibition in this
direction which was a disgrace to its
annals. Grand Secretary and Treas
urer Dinckler in his report said, with
reference to the 20" strike: The in
dustries of a large portion Of the United
states have been paralvzed by the ef-
forts ofone Of the most selfish monopo-
lies IN the country to procure for itself
stfIl further benefits regardless of inju-
ries to others and particularly to other
classes of raj wav employees" !"

Wrongs With Blood.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 9.-Forty-
eight negroes engaged IN the Land
Ridge riot have been arrested, It ie-
yelops to-day that the riot was the out
come of a deliberate plot to rise
and massacre the whites. 1t is
claimed there are large societies through
out the United States who have resolved
to avenge their fallen ones and protect
their color in the future at all hazards.
The negroes claim that Lowndes, Cren-
shaw and Butler Counties have the
largest clubs and fully competent
to do their duty. They state
that they have endured the mis-
treatment of the whites long enough
and propose to put an end to it or there
will be bloodshed. Meetings were held
bv the lodges to raise money to purchase
ammunition to kill the whites If they
attempted TO arrest the negroes The
principal negro engaged in the plot was
Bob Robinson, who was president of the
meeting. Bob spoke very bitterly
against the whites, and implored his fell
low brothers to rise up in arms against

culiar feature of the tragedy is the fact
that if it is shown that Gen BEEN was
murdered, his life insurance can be col
lected by his sister in Alton, TO whom it
is payable, but if, as Mrs. BEEN claims,
he was not murdered at all, but com
mitted suicide, his relatives stand no
show for the money. The relatives ap-
pear tH believe that he was murdered,
and are activeiy cooperating with the
Chicago Union Veteran leasue in ferret
ing out the mystery.

The largest fire Kenosha he, had in
years occurred on the night of the 8th.
The flax mill owned by Messrs. Lewis
4 Miller burned to the ground with two
barns and outhouses. The fax mill
was valued at g 600, and the machin-
cry, worth 81 500, was totally destroyed,
with no insurance. The mill contained
26,0O0 bushels of barley worth S19,-
600, insured for ST. 600. The
barns were worth $500 and were unin-
sured. Three neighboring houses caught
fire and narrowly escaped destruction.
The loss will be complete and will
amount to nearly $25, 900. The fire orig
mated within the mill and was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary.
1t had gained such headway that the eff
forts OF the fire department were IN

Miller has sustained by incendiary fires
