 CHICAGO, July 6.-Bauereisen, the brother,
 hood engineer arrested last night en charge of felenious intent against the O., B. 6 Q. road
 was arraigned to-day before the United States commissioner. His bail was fixed at $5, 900.
 It was furnished by A.B. Fedler, merchant General Manager Stone of the Burlington said this afternoon: "The letter thrown away by Broderick yesterday connects Bauereisen with the other three beyond the shadow of 8
 doubt" Mir. Stone added: "The dynamite the men obtained from the brotherhood's hall
 at Aurora" The three prisoners arrested last evening remained in jail all day to-day,
 being unable to find bail for S15, ,O00, the sum
 in which they were held by Commissioner Hoyne. They have retained as their attor- nies Donohue and David There is little prospect that the brstherhood will take any part in the defense of the alleged dynamiters When Mir. Hoge was at the jail they appeal cd to him to secure bail and counsel. but he gave them little encouragement He said he would look into the case and if he became satisfied that it was matter of persecution
 ot them by the railroad company or 8 con- spiIacy by some detective agencies the broth- erhood would defend them to the court of
 last resort, but if shown they really had explosives and meant violence or unlawful
 use of them they would have to take care of themselves. The brotherhood eountenanced no illegal measures.
 Alexander Sullivan, counsel for some of the "Q" strikers who were tried for conspira- cy shortly after the beginning of the strike,
 said to day that the dynamite story looked suspiciously like a detectives conspiracy manufactured for the occasion. The men ar- rested were said to be intelligent and compe-, tent engineers, and 1t did not seem likely
 that such men would risk carrying dynamite on araiIroad train for their own sake, even if they are credited with no higher sense of
 manhood. In their conversation with Hoge
 and the attorneys to-day the prisoners told
 story that differs from the published &C., counts. They positively and emphatically denied all knowledge of the dynamite. They
 did: not have it, they said, aud did not know
 who brought the stuff into the car
 Broderick said, speaking of the arrest:
 "We were on our way to Chicago to see what
 chance we would have of getting work on
 some eastern road. I met BowIes yesterday
 and he told me he was going to West Virginia
 where he said he could get work. said T
 would come on to Chicago and make inquire
 ies and might possibly go with him. We got
 
 and Bowles sat alone on the other side of the
 cars A man who learned afterward was a
 Pinkerton man in and sat beside Bowles.
 When we were about six miles from Aurora
 this man stood up and tapped Bowles on the
 shoulder and another camerbsside us and did
 the same thing and told us they were detec-
 tives and had warrants for us. We did not
 know what the charge was. After we were
 handcuffed Manager Stone came into the car
 and then one of the detectives reached up to
 the hat rack which was over the seat that
 Wilson and sat in and took down a package.
 He opened it and found the sticks of what
 they said was dynamite. I never saw the
 package nor the dynamite till saw it in the
 detectives' hands. It was not on the seat be-
 tween me and Wilson, but was taken from
 the hat rack by the detectives after we were
 handcuffsd.. threw letter out of the
 window, but it was nothing relating to
 the strike nor dynamite. It was some
 thing I did not want to get into the
 paper. They stopped the train and one of
 the detectives ran back mile or two and
 got 1t. When saw him come in running
 and out of breath laughed at him and he
 said. It seems funny to you, doesn't it.
 Isaid: T was having the most fun out of -is.'p
 BoWles and Wilson confirmed Brederick's
 story. Deputy United States Marshal Bur
 chafd left for Aurora this afternoon. In his
 possession were warrants for more of the ale
 legged conspirators. How many men he was
 after he would not say. It was known,
 however, that he had warrants for at least
 three more strikers.
 Manager Stone gives the following history
 of the alleged dynamite plot against the O.,
 B. & o.: A few days after the middle of May
 the company was informed that attempts
 were to be made to damage its property and
 trains by the use of dynamite and that
 Bowies, the engineer who was arrested
 Thursday with dynamite in his possession,
 was about to leave town to put the plan into
 operation. Bowles did leave town as was
 expected. On the 29th day of May, at about 10:40 o'clock in the evening, the engineer of
 train going from Chicago to Aurora was startled by Q white light which he described as being like an electric light and loud ex- plosion which jared his engine and partially stunned him and his fireman. An examins- ton of the engine showed that the forward truck wheel was broken, but not so much that the engine was unable to proceed. The next morning an examination of the track was made and at the spot close by the rail were found c small handful of what ap- peared to be damp sawdust, an unexploded copper cap an inch long and quarter of an inch in diameter, some pieces of oily paper and pieces of broken fish line. The supposed sawdust on being examined proved to be dynamite and the oily paper the remnants of the casing of cartridge. The copper cap was Illuminating. cap, made and used only for the purpose of exploding dynamite. The dynamite cartridge had apparently been tiM to the rail with fsh line and the wheel akthe engine cut of 8 portion of the cart rldge, which dropped by the road where found the next morning. The remaining dynamite exploded when the wheel struck the cap. There were at least two caps used, the one found not having exploded. On the paper found were the same manufactur- ers' marks as were on the cartridges cap- tured with BowIes, Broderick and Wilson. | This brand or mark on the cartridge offered sure means of locating the manu- ! facturer. On the evening after large pie nic of the brotherhood at Aurora on the 10th ! of June a1other attempt was made short distance west of Aurora. The engineers re- port of the occurrence was almost identical | with the one referred to east of Aurora and here again some unexploded dynamite was found near the rail together with remnants of ! the casing of the cartridge. These bore the | sams work ss the cartridges found in the pes- l session of the arrested men on Thursday af- f ternoon. There were also found two explod- | cd Illuminating caps and pieces of the same | kind of fish line as at the frst explosion and which had been used for the same purpose I namely, to tie the cartridge to the rail. Af~ ter !, the 4 work was done at Aurora Bowlss was at Noblesville,. Indiana, where he was supplied with funds | by means of draft from John A. Bauer ! eiseu, the chief engineer and principal officer of division 32 of the Brotherhood of Engin- eers, who is also chairman of the local griev- | ance committee at Auroa.' Bauereisen is
 also one of the principal members of the brotherhood on the hQn system as we'll as 8 l leader in the strike. Broderick, who is a member of the brotherhood, was at this time | in Creston, Iowa, and in close communica- l ton with the principal officers and members
 of the brotherhood and had repeatedly re- quested Bauereisen to send Bowles swith his goods'' to Creston as that was favorable place for operations, owing to the support
 they would receive from the brotherhood there. Boyles accordingly went to Creston where as he met Frederick and delivered to hipa the dynamite. Shofsly after Bowles left Cfgston and few ho6rs
 after an explosion took place in the west end of the yard Here all the circumstances of
