RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
A Powerful Federation Now in Process
of Formation.

A Powerful Federation Now in Process
of Formation.
GALEsBURa, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-Grand Chief
Clark, of the new consolidated Order of
Railway conductors, is consulting with
the trainmen now in session here re-
garding the proposed federation of the
various associations of railway en-
ployees which, it is understood, is in
fair way to be accomplished. The Bro
therhood of Railway Conductors was a
member of the supreme council; the
Order of Railway Conductors was not.
The recent absorption Of the former by
the latter deprived the council of mem
Der, so that now the council comprises
only the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and the Switchmen's union. 1t is
deemed significant that Clark came
here from Terre Haute where he has
just been in conference with Grand Mas
ter Sargent, of the Firemens brother
hood. 1t is known that Sargent is
friendly to the trainmen, and it is be-
lieved he and Clark have an under
standing regarding the new federation.
The plan recommended by Clark will be
presented to the trainmen's convention,
and it is contidentially asserted that it
will be endorsed. 1t is asserted that in
short time the supreme council will be
a thing of the past, its place being
taken by a new federation of conserva-
tive railroad organizations. The slate
thus far made comprises the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, Order of
Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, Order of Railway
Telegraphers and Brotherhood of Sta
tionmen. This federation would repre-
sent 10000 members. Chief Arthur, of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, has not, SO far as learned, been
asked to join this movement.

Her Injuries,

I1CA AltJullGSs
1t will be remembered that in the
dispatches sent out about the Tehachepi
railroad accident about a month since
mention was made that a Miss
Spring, of Los Angeles, had been in
jured. Nothing more was heard about
the matter, as far as the papers were
concerned. Yesterday HERALD re-
porter was informed that Miss Spring is
at the Woolsey hospital in Oakland. and
is in very precarious condition. So much
so that Miss Hahn, professional nurse
of this city, was sent for. Miss Spring
mad her spine injured the night of the
collision. She is not very we'll known
in Los Angeles, having come here to
spend few months with friends. Her
home is in Lafayette, Ind, and she was
on her homeward journey when the
accident took place.
The railroad company has been very
kind to Miss Spring. but it is feared that
she will be cripple for life.

Last Saturday while Steve Nixon and
Chas. Ellis were driving a bunch of
cattle along the Gila river above the
Brown ranch, Nixon saw a deer in the
river under bluff bank, eating grass at
the waters edge. Nixon shot at it but

using his rope. The deer jumped back
into swimming water when Steve fred
at it. He rushed his horse into the
river and at the fret throw put his
moose over the deer's head and hauled
him to shore. Then they concluded to
drive him to camp, and for this purpose
tied it to a yearling. The yearling, how
ever, did not like his new mate, and in
