The Railway and Brotherhood Tele-
graphers Unable to Come Together.
ST. LOUIS, June 19.--This morning the
judiciary committees OF the order of
Railway Telegraphers and the officers of
the Brotherhood of Teiegraphers met.
The judiciary committees reported that
the grand division refused to reduce the
time in the eligibility clause of their
law. Whereupon the brotherhood Of
ficers called all negotiations off. The
order of Railway Telegraphers will ap-
ply for membership to the Federation OF
Railway Employees, but assurance has
been given the brotherhood people by
members OF the council that neither or
ganization will be admitted until ANAL
gamation is reached.
The hitch in amalgamation is caused
by the clause in the law OF the railway
people, which provides that an operator
must have done railroad telegraphing
three years before he can become a
member, the brotherhood people stick
ing out for one-yearqualihcation. They
say the three-year limit would bar out
fully thirty per cent OF the commercial
operators.
The grand division of the Order of
Railway telegraphers has decided to
purchase outright the organ of the or
der, the Railway Telegrapher.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: A. D. Thurston, Vim
ton. Iowa, grand chief telegrapher; S.
O. Fox, Vinton, grand secretary and
treasurer G. d. Ramsey, East st. Louis,
assistant grand chief telegrapher; Seflor
Licanda, Mexico, grand senior tele-
yrapher.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The census of
fee has in press and will shortly publish
for distribution an elaborate report on
lumber production and allied industries
for Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The bulletin shows that the aggregate
increase of mill products, as compared
with the census report of 1880, is 1896
per cent in quantity and 1892 in value ;
that the increase in the number OF hands
EMPLOYED is 138.49 per cent, and in
the total amount of wages 141.26
per cent. According to the tenth census
l1SSO) the amount of capital invested in
the milling industry in Michigan. Wis
consin and Minnesota was S65, ,S55. .632.
The capital invested according to the
eleventh census (1S90) is 1928 ,3S6, ,607, /,
an increase of $157 ,530,975. This ap-
parent enormous increase appears due
to the radical change N the form OF in
quiry respecting all branches.
1t is shown from the returns OF indl-
vidual manufacturers that their present
holdings of standing timber in this
group of states are only sufficient to
supply them for five years at the pres
ent rate of consumption. The quantity
in reserve is principally comprehended
by what is standing on lands owned by
the federal and state governments.

THE PIUTES' VENGEANCE.
FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
BRIDGEPORT TRAGEDY.
Poker Toms, Slayer Dismissed by the
Court and Left to the Mercy of the
Indians--Ah Tai's Terrible Taking OFF.

SAN Francisco, June 19.--Deputy Re-
corder Barnard, OF Bridgeport, Mono
county, writing to the Chronicle, gives
fuller particulars of the killing of the
Chinaman, All Tai, by Walker Lake In
dians, at Bridgeport, June 9th. All Tai
had confessed to killing an Indian
named Poker Tom with q club, after a
game Of cards, but claimed that he acted
in self defense, as Tom attacked him in
an endeavor to get the money
the Chinaman had won. Two
attorneys offered their services
to defend the Chinaman in court. The
latter accepted and promised them $1,000
if verdict of acquittal was rendered, or
$500 if the verdict was against him. The
attorneys had the stock of goods valued
at from $1,000 to $4,000 removed from All
Tai's store to their houses, despite his
protests. It is reported that an effort
will be made to debar them for their ac-
tion in the case.
The coroner's jury found Ah Tai gull
ty OF murder, but the verdict Tor some
reason or other had not been filed with
the county clerk week after the in
quest. The Indians in the vicinity had
by this time become much excited, and
having been reinforced by others de-
clared they were going to take All
Tai out of Jail and cut him to pieces,
and in this they were encouraged by
many prominent white residents. 1t ls
reported that when Sheriff Cody made
a show of defending the Jail, some OF
the citizens intimated that they would
assist the Indians, even going so Tar as
to state in conference with the deputy
district attorney and the local justice of
the peace, that there was not sufficient
evidence to secure conviction, and II
All Tai was held to trial before the
superior court, it would be an expense
to the county, and that the Chinaman
ought to be discharged and left to the
mercy Of the Indians.
The preliminary examination held
June 9th resulted in the discharge OF
the prisoner, on motion OF counsel for
the defense, who argued that there was
no evidence to show that Poker Tom
had been murdered that the evidence
did not show whether the remains
found in the river and supposed to be
those of Poker Tom, were those of
man or a woman, and that there has
in the manner required by law.
All Tai was afraid to leave the court
room after his discharge, and one Of his
attorneys went to request the sheriff to
give him a bodyguard. Four In
dams then rushed into the
court room, Justice Fales,
All Tai and one of the latter's attor-
neys being the only occupants, seized
the Chinaman, and. responding to
Justice Fale's entreaty that they do no
violence in the courtroom, bade him be
still.
They dragged the shrieking China
man into the street, where they were
joined by other Indians who dragged
the victim half mile out of town and
cut off his head and limbs; cut open his
trunk and scattered his entrails for some
distance through the sage brush. The
Indians then returned to the camp,
while the remains OF Ah Tai were
gathered up by whites and buried.
