Will the Engineers and Firemen Fay
Back the knights of Labor.
Several engineers and firemen were
seen by areporter, and one and all as
sented emphatically that there was no
intention on their part of going on
strike ont of sympathy with the Knights
of Labor. One of the engineers said
"We are going to pay back the knights
of Labor in their own coin They went
back on us when we were in trouble
and now we intend to get square.
In other words the engineers are not
only not in sympathy with the strikers,
but are anxious to see them beaten, as
it means Brotherhood engineer in the
place of every striking engineer belong
ing to the Knights of Labor Several
engineers and tiremen said, relative to
the assertion that there was an agree
ment between the Brotherhoods of En-
gineers and Firemen. by which tine en-
gineers are pledged not TO work with
green firemen, that there was no such
agreement Said one of the firemen:
II do not think many firemen would
strike even if ordered to do 50. The
Central Railroad company has never
done anything to antagonize its Knights
of Labor workmen."
Don't Think Of striking.
Another fireman, who is a member of
the brotherhood, said. During my last
few trips between here and Albany /
have seen ard talked with nearly every
fireman on the road between this city
aud Buffalo. and with only few ex-
ceptions all of them said they had no
thought Of going on strike. but, on the

ANOTHER MISSISSIPPI SCHEME
Proposal to Give the Elective franchise
to Women who own Real Estate.

to Women who own Real Estate.
JACKSON, Mss, Aug. 93.-A tinge of
sentiment colored the proceedings of the
constitutional convention during the
progress Of Delegate John w. Fewell's
speech in support Of the proDoSi tion
offered by himself to confer suffrage
upon women. Mr.. Fewell's resolution
read rs follows:
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this
convention that it is a condition necessary
TO the solution of the franchise problem
that the right to vote shall be secured b.
proper constitutional enactment To every
woman who shall have resided in this
state six months, and who shall be 81
years of age or upwards, and who shal.
own, or whose husband, If she have q hus-
band, shall own real estate situated in
this state Of the clear value Of 800 over
and above all membranes. The votes
of every woman voting in any election
shall be cast by some male cleCtor, who
shall be thereunto authorized in writing
by such woman entitled to vote, such con
stitutioual enactment not to be framed SO
as to grant TO women the right to hold
Office.
Under the rules the resolution should
have gone to the committee on elective
franchise. but, by unanimous consent.
he was allowed to take the floor in sup
port Of his resolution. MIR. Fewell made
the most Of his opportunity. and ia a
speech Of twenty minutes duration
lnade deep impression upon all his
hearers. He urged that special com
mittee be appointed to report uron the
question, bul the committee on elective
franchise regarded such reference, with
the instruction suggested, as infringing
upon the prerogative Of the elective
franchise committee, and after two
hours discussion, Mr. Fewell struck out
the Objectionable clause of his resolu-
ton and had it referred the usual way.
Delegate Hudson, of Yazoo, offered an
amendment providing for female sQf-
frage, with a property and educational
qualification. This plan also embrace
the Australian ballot system. The
woman suffrage idea is growing in favor
among the best minds Of the conyen-
ton, ana unless safety from black su-
premary can he reached by other
methods Mr.. Fewells plan, or one simi-
lar, win be adopted.

The distance to the point of starting
