Bad News For Engineers.

CHICAGO, May 15.-TSpecial Telegram to
Tue BEE. THE locomotive engineers and
fremen on one of the Leading western rail-
roads in particular, and all the roads in
general, are daily expecting piece of infor-
nation that may or may not lead to a great
strike, but which will, IN any event, be dis
astrous to them IN O financial way. From
time to time for the past month articles have
appeared in local papers stating that a GER
tain western railroad company was prepar-
ing to cut the wages of it's engineers and
tiremen, and in anticipation of probable trou-
bic was hiring all the non-union men it
could find to be ready to go to work when
called upon. This information, it was said,
was obtained by brotherhood engineer,
who investigated the advertisements being
published by the employing agent.
1t is stated to-day that last week some
more members of the brotherhood applied to
the agency for employment. They were in
formed that over five hundred applications
had been booked, and that that number was
thought sufficient. The addresses of the ap-
plicants were taken, however, with the un-
derstanding that they should be notified in
case of need. They were also told that the
cut would not be made as soon as expected,
but that IL would come.
A reporter interviewed several of the
most prominent local members OF the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
to-day, on the subject The opinion of nearly
all OF tnen is tnat no strlke VIII result ii the
cut is made. One sald 1.-THE outlook is too
blue for us. The food Of unemployed labor
is too great, and strike would unques-
tionably result in disastrous defeat"

''There ', one big company at the head OF
the move, but there are three or four others
back of it, 1t is move TO bust up the
brotherhood"

the brotherhood, and at present in business
in this city, was called upon, but politely de

Those who believe with the Chinese that
concord of sweet sounds is the inspiration,
if not the soul of the universe, should have
enjoyed the musical feast presented at the
Lutheran school on Friday night last. We
can readily understand how the poet could
have ascribed the origin of music to the
Heavenly Maid" after having heard such
a rare program interpreted in such mas
terly manner by SO many charming maids.
The concert was indeed excellent and
most thoroughly enjoyed by one and all of
the large audience which filled the chapel
to Overlooking. The evening was opened
by that very beautiful overture. merry
Wives of Windsor" played by Misses
Rodeffer, Lasley, Carpenter, and Smart.
No. was vocal duet, "Sister Elves. :"
very sweetly sung by Misses Eamich and
Hope. This was followed by Beethoven's
Allegro from Concerto in G, finely rendered
oy Miss M. Rodeffer. and accompanied by
Prof. Eisenberg. Miss Lucie Clare then
reclted Asleep at the Switch, !" in a highly
credtabIe manner. and very kindly re-
sponded to an enthusiastic encore. Miss
Bertha Henkel, who has an unusua ly
clear, sweet voice, sang Lassen's popular
song, Thine Eyes, so Blue and TeLder, :"
with grace Of sentiment which was ad-
mrable, and La Fileuse, a captivating
little Jewel of Il piece" was we'll execu-
ted by Miss Mattel Lasley. Part l. of the
programme was brought to pleasing
close by two of Abts pretty choruses.
On the second part of programme. Miss
Lizzie Filler, faYorite of last year, de-
lighted the audience by a dainty little song
from Gobberts, which admirably suited
the delicate finish and bird like range of
her lovely voice. She was called to the
front again and again, and Obligingly gave
a pathetic little encore ballad. Nor must
we forget to mention in terms of highest
praise Miss Carpenters artistic rendering
of S. B. Mills "TarSntelle." This ar
rangement is remarkably beautiful one,
and difficult al well, and was almost fault
lessly played.
Perhaps one of the most enjoyable fea-
UulCo VI tiO CNCuiiiS was q COilAO uuStes
sung and acted by Misses i. Henkel and
G. Carpenter. 1t was entitled "Mrs.
Doctor, and Mrs. Proctor" and in very
tuneful melodies set forth these worthy
woman S views, as to the public and pri.
vate lives of themselves and the world in
general. This was followed by stirring
Piano Quartette, after which the curtains
were drawn and the audience left for a
short time to ponder over the why's and
wherefores of that strikingly original
term, "Humaniphone." The den0uement
proved it TO be musical instrument ex-
humed from the ruins of Pompeii and
Herculaneu.n and transferred to the wilds
of Okochobee, there to play an important
part in the history of nations. We shall
not attempt to explain, as Prof. Croft so
ably did the range. timber. and velocity of
this instrument but will simply say that
it added much to the hilarity of the
evening and made the audience say 'g0od
| night" reluctantly.

Death ofT.C. wi,llan,s.


Mr.. T. G. Williams. of the firm of T. G..
Williams & Co., large tobacco dealers of
Richmond, died in that city on the ID
inst, of pneumor ia. The State. referring
to this sad loss to the business interests of
Richmond. Va, says: MIR. Williams was
born in this city and was the son of the
late Jesse Williams and brother of the
late A. D. Williams and Rev. Harrison HI.
Williams. The deceased had been iden-
titled with the tobacco interests of Rich-
mond tor nearly forty years. at an early
age he entered the tobacco factory of the
late James Thomas, and gradually rose to
the position Of partner. He removed to
DanviIle in the sixties to represent their
interests in that city. where he remained
few years. He subsequently returned
to Richmond, and the firm-name was
changed to T. G. Williams & Co.. which
firm is known over the entire world for its
famous brands of tobacco. Mr.. Williams
was considered one of the solid business
men of Richmond, and was noted for his
public spirit, and could always be found in
any enterprise that tended to promote the
interest of his native city. His death is a
great loss TO the city and his sudden TAX
ing off is greatly deplored."
Col. o. M. Goode, of this place, is one of
the trusted agents of the firm of I. G..
Williams s. Co.. and the announcement of
the death of his friend aud employer, com
municated by telegraph, was a great shock
to him.

INVENTIONS.

Our people are moving in the right d.
rection. Every thought and energy is be-
ing taxed for the promotion of our ma
terial interests. Land companies. railroad
companies, iron companies, and manufac-
turing companies are being rapidly organ
lied. 1t is sight to see on our streets
signs of railroad offices, land Improvement
companies, and the like. but it is move
in the right direction, and will bring I'M
told benefits.
But we started to speak of inventions.
Not long since w. II. Waddell, Esq, OF
Lexington, had on exhibition in our town
his ANTI Collision Electric Machine. :"
The stock was quickly taken. A company
has been organized, rights have been sold'
and the matter is being pushed.
Mr.. Waddell has ON exhibition at z. E.
Wilson IS tobacco store, South Augusta
street. another invention, which seems to
be very simple. thoroughly practical. and
one which will prove of great convenience
and comfort to the general travelling pub
lie. It is station Indicator little
mechanical continuance to be placed in the
ends of each car, and which by an auto
matte arrangement. sounds gong which
attracts the attention of the passengers
and at the same time displays the name of
the station, which the train is approach
ing. The stock in this last named inven-
tion IS being rapidly taken up, and quite
an excitement is shown by s)me inter-
terested spectators of the little machine.
"Yes.'' said one enth usiastic person, 1t
will work as we'll on street cars as on rail
road cars, to Indicate the streets. and
companies will be handsomely compen-
stated by parties who will place lads" con-
spicuously near tho Indicator We
thought so, too. When the Indicator
comes into practical use, the occupation
of the men who for 10 these many years.
have yexed pas sengers on railroad cars by
their unintelligible efforts to "call out the
stations" will be gone. It's good thing.
and we hope it will soon get into general
use; for no man. nor woman either, for
that matter, is above being tormented by
brakemen "calllng out stations"
