ganization that ordered it, and the fact
that many men now seeking re-employ-

OF personal violence, and did not dare to
resume work for the same reason, compel
the management of this company to an

members of the organization known as the
Knights OF Labor. The management is
satisfied that membership in this particular
organization is inconsistent with faithful

You will at once take such action as will
bring this circular to the attention ct the

ROBBERS LIGHT PLUMBER.
Less Than Thousand Taken in tn

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 81. c. Weir,
manager of the Adams Express Com
pany, has received a telegram from
General Manager Moore, of the Cincin-
natl, Sandusky & Cleveland road, say.
ing that two of the train robbers are
in Jail at Bellefontaine and the road s
detectives are after the third, who got
away with 5000. The express COM
pany's detectives, however, have not
confirmed this news, and there is moth
ing to show what proof can be found to
convict the men arrested. Some G tn
ing, evidently dropped by the robbers,
has been found, and is good for evidence,
possibly. In regard to the money
loss by the robbery, Col. Weir says it
appears now to be less than 81 .OG0, I'M
less some of the jewelry packages
should turn out to contain diamonds
Messenger Scudder is remaining at the
scene of the robbery to assist in the
identification OF the thieves if they
should be caught.

TO CONTEST THE WILL.
Chicago May Not Release the Great
Crerar Free Library.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-The will of the
late John Crerar, which disposed of an
estate Of nearly 100000 much of
it being bequeathed to chart
table and religious institutions in
this city is to be contested, and court
proceedings will soon be commenced
IN what will probably prove to be one
of the most celebrated cases of its kind
on record. The attorneys in the
case are Messrs. A. w. Brown
and Frank A. Stirtan. These
lawyers, it is said, have found
several weak points in the will which
they say cannot stand under law. They
say that the John Crerar library, for
the erection and maintenance of which
Mr.. Crerar left over 100000, will
never be built if the contesting
heirs win their case. The heirs who
will make the contest are living in this
CITY and in different parts of Ontario.
