SULLIVAN ARRESTED,

Governor Lowrey Certainly In Ear
nest.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 13.-When the
sasth bound Louisville and Nashville train
pulled into the city, crowd of people
surged round the cars to see John l.. Sulli-
Ivan, who was known to be on board. A
rumor soon obtained circulation that re-
QUESTION was in the hands of the police,
several of whom had boarded the car. Some
discussion and finally struggle was seen in
the car and an officer reached over with
handouts in hand and seized the slugger's
arm and pulled him out into the aisle of the
car. Sullivan resisted.
Mike Muldoon, who occupied the same
seat put his head out of the window and
cried to the crowd: Gentlemen, demand
American protection" His patriotic wall
was greeted with variety of responses
Some cheered Sullivan and begged HIM to
sHurrah for the Nashville police" "Hit
him with your clubs" etc. One youngster.
who was hanging on the outside of the car
window. ducked his head behind the sill and
informed the crowd that the Scoops have out
their guns"
After brief struggle Sullivan was taken
from the car and hustled to carriage. In
the struggle he drew back to knock down q
policeman when Chief Clock stuck pistol
in his face and told him if he struck, he.
Clock would kill him. The officers next
grabbed Charley johnson, of Brooklyn, Sui
hvan's hacker, who resisted vigorously, but
finally began to cry with pain. During all
this scrimmage, Muldoon sat quietly by and
was unmolested. Mike Cleary, Sullivan's
otter second, hid in the excitement and one
other, named Lynch, jumped off the train.
Only johnson and Sullivan we're detained,
though the others were wanted.
The arrest was. made by authority of a
telegram from Governor Lowrey of Missis-
sippl to the Nashville police.
Governor Lowrey's telegram offers re-
ward of 81, 900 and it is believed that if re-
leased on the present charge Sullivan will be
rearrested in order to secure time for re-
QUESTION to be obtained.

BROTHERHOOD ENGINEERS.

1t Is Said They Contemplate a Wide-
spread strike.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 17.-About 400
Representatives of the local brotherhood of
engineers of the state, held meeting here
Little could be learned as to the object Of
the meeting, but it is thought the preliml-
nary steps were taken for the amalgamation
of the brotherhood with other railroad or
carnations. Chief Arthur was present and
addressed the men, but he is understood to
be opposed to amalgamation. What deci-
sion was reached by the delegates can't be!
ascertained: A well known railroad official
said, however, that it has been known in
railroad circles for some time that the en-
gineers are dissatisfied with the outcome Oh
the strike on the Burlington system ana ID
has been understood this meeting was tol
consider the best plan of retrieving their
former power. To do this it is thought q!
general strike of the engineers and fiIemenl
on every western road was proposed. This,
of course. was strenuously denied by the Of.
6cers of the brotherhood, but there seems
to be good grounds for believeing this move
was discussed. Representatives of the.
brotherhood as far east as Ohio and from,
the western states were present.
