Scheme for . New Federation ol
 Railroad M0n.

CHICAGO. Oct. 20.-S. F. Wilkinson of Galesbur ILL, grand master of the Order of 1rainmen. was at the Shcr- man house short time yesterday afternoon, leaving in the evening for Louisville, Ky. He will meet at that city E F. Clark, grand master of the Order of Railway Conductors, and to- gether they will confer with the offl- cials of the Louisville & Nashville road relative to higher wages for ihe trainmen and conductors on that line.
 The big railway arbitration case be- tween the Canadian government and the Canadian Pacific railway IS now ended and the arbitrators have made their award to the railroad, which amounts to S450. o00.
 Mir. Wilkinson tallxedsfreely about the situation among the railway labor organizations. He said that the ques- tion of forming new federation of railway laborers would be considered in about six weeks, after the settle ment of various grievances reported against several lines, including one against the Illinois Central for dis charging two conductors without adequate cause.
 Yes" he said. in answer to ques- ton. there will be new federation. We have been empowered to federate with other organizations, among which will probably be the Order of Railway Conductors, the Order of Rail- way Photographers and Brotherhood of Railway Station Men. We are willing to federate with the engineers and the Order of Locomotive Fireman, but have not yet been approached by them. The matter of new organiza- ton of the orders that have notified us of their vii ingness to enter into federation will soon be perfected The gentlemen who will represent tho conductors in the negotiations are MT. Clark and the executive board. Our committee is made up of P. H. Norris sey, first vicegrand master; W. A. Sheahan. grand secretary and treas- urer, and myself.
 "It will be powerful organization. The trainmen number 20. 900 mem bers, the conductors It, 1000, the telegraphers Is, 900 and the station men 5000 The Engineers Brotherhood has 27,0o0 members and that of the firemen ly.- 900. The switchmen's order has per haps 2, 7,000 men"
 In speaking of the trouble growing out of the Northwestern switchmen's strike Mir. Wilkinson said with evident satisfaction that his action in that affair had been approved by an over whelming vote at the recent annual meeting of the trainmen, at which all the old officers were reelected.

 Commits Suicide.

QUINCY, H., Oct. 19.---A big sensa- ton was created in this city this morn- ing by the suicide of Prof J. R. Stevenson, instructor in science in tho Quincy high school. Prof. Stevenson was an unusually popular man in school and social circles He left his home in his usua spirits this morning, kissed his wife and child and started for school On the way down he bought and loaded self-acting revol- yer and then went to a ravine on York street, just west of Second. There. in a lonely spot, he placed the revolver to his head and pulled the trigger twice. sendino two bullets into his brain- He lived three hours but never recov- cred consciousness.
 Prof Stevenson was 43 years old. had wife and one child, and was not known to have had any trouble The only cause that can be assigned for his action is temporary insanity.

He was elected to the chair of science and mathematics of the Quincy high school in 1884 and had held that posi- ton ever sipce.

ATTACKED AMERICAN SAILORS. Men from the Baltimore Set Upon
 Fly . Mob of Chilcnns.


 VALpARAIso, Oct. 20.-Here are further particulars of the shooting affray between the sailors from the Baltimore end the Chilean man-of wars men in the streets of this city. Liberty was given the American sailors yesterday for the first time since the change Tn the government The In tendente assured Capt. Schley of the Baltimore that fuil protection would be given the men.
 The feeling between the American and Chilean of wars men, how ever, has been running very high. The row between the Baltimore sailors and the Chileans first broke out on a wharf, but was stopped before it assumed se- rious proportions by some of the more prudent of the Americans. The quarreling sailors, however, later in the day again met this time Tn one of the numerous saloons, and as both sides had been drinking freely the fight was soon renewed. The Ameri- cans had to fight on the defensive all the way back to their ship.
 1t seems evident now that the row was the result of concerted action, the culmination of the intense ill-feeling that has all along been evidenced against Americans. Whenever Chilean men-of- wars men met the Baltlmore's sailors fierce fights resulted. The Americans were few in mum Der. but they made 8 plucky and determined resistance. They fought back to back with their fists only as weapons. They kept together as long as possible, but at length were separated by superior numbers and dispersed The Chileans used their knives all through the fights and in most cowardly fashion, too, for. in every instance where an Amer ican was wounded. tho stab thrust was in his back

FARGO, Oct l0-It is said that the decision of Judge Caldwe in the Northern acific tax case Wednesday is worth from si5. GOO. 900 to SEQ, ,0o0, too to the railroad, although on the main issue, as to the taxation of lands, the decision is against the company. The decision gives it clear title to all the lands within it's grant not known to contain mineral at the time of the filing of the map of the definite loca- tion of the road.
 The Interior Department has hith- erto refused to patent these lands un- til the railroad should produce proof that the lands did not contain mineral. Many thousands of acres of land in Montana, Idaho and Washington, upon which gold. silver and copper, etc, have been discovered since the filing of the map of the location and which the Interior Department has held were not included in the grant, are by Judge Caldwell's decision declared to be property of the railroad-.'not only the land but mineral as we'll. Tho value of railroad taxes involved in Judge Caldwells decision for twelve counties interested will be about e1oo- oo0

 NEW YORK. Oct. lo.--The biz thrse- masted schooner B. F. Woodside of Bath, Me, traiied into port this morn ing behind the screw steamer Finance of the New York and Brazilian Mall Steamship company, with prize crew from the Finance on board. The Woodside was met in mid ocean by the Finance m sinking condition and with her crew lying about the decks exhausted from lack of food. The schooner met with disaster in the great storm that swept over the Atlantic early this week. She sailed from Baltimore ScpG 2s for Salem, Mass, with full cargo of coal. She was commanded by Capt Stahl, and carried a crew of ten. 6un- day the Woodside met the gale. 10 came from the northeast and blew with terrific force. Seas were raised that swept the schooncr's deck from stem to stern. Sails were ripped and torn, and many of them were blown out of the gaskets and lost All day the storm continued and the schooner labored heavily. The strain was too much for her and during the night her seams parted and the water came in her hold. The crew was immediately set 10 work at the pumps and they worked heroically for hours Their efforts were unavailing, though, for the water continued to gain on them. Meanwhile the sea continued to sweep over tho vessel, dclused the provisionr and rendered them useless. Without food or drink the men labored to save their vessel until ono by one they dropped down exhausted. Capt. 6tahl gave them what help he could aud fed the men from his private storsroom until his menger stock was exhausted. The men then gave themselves up foy lost until rescued by the Finance.

 GArLATIH, Tenn, Oct. 20.--Gallatin ia excited over the sensational denoue- ment of scandal of last year. pubii- cation of which was suppressed at that time on recount of the social promi- hence and connections of the parties involved. In April of 1890 Miss Minnie overton of this vici-ity gave birth to a child at Bowling Green, Ky. Miss Overton claimed that she had been seduced by Samuel R. Elliott, a popu- lar young man of the county, whose father was Attorney-General M. K. Elliott, the eloquent lawyer and preacher. She sad that he had ac- complished her ruin six years ago.
 Elliott, while admitting his relations with her, denied that he had seduced her, and claimed that other men had been intimate with her. He refused to marry her and would not leave the country when threatened with death by her father and two brothers, and for months every one feared personal encounter, but nothing came of it and the matter quieted down.
 In the meanwhile Miss Overton left here and is now thought to be living in Lexington.
 Last evening at 5 o'clock, after eighteen months had elapsed, the scandal was revived in a most sensa- tional and dramantic manner. Elliott was in the store of W. Witherspoon when Mrs. Archie w. Overton. mother of the girl, entered. and walking up to hum, without word dashed the con- tents of a large bottle of vitriol or sul- phurie acid into his face. It struck him square between the eyes and spread all over his face. In ten min utes his left eye was entirely destroyed and it is thought his other eye will be lost His face was horribly burned. He did not fall. and only spoke to ask for some oil Doctors were summoned and he was removed to the residence of his sister. Mrs. May Night, where he now lies in great agony.
 Miss Minnie Cverton ia a decidedly handsome and well-educated brunette about 25 years of age. She was very popular in society and her downfall was source of sorrow to many warm friends.

 PARIS, Oct colt seems that a distinguished pulmonary specialist of London was lately consulted by skeleton in appearance. After a careful examination the doc tor said: "I can do nothing for you, in O month you will be dead"
 With the calmness of despair the young man. aided by a servant, pre- pared to depart As he was about to cross the threshold Dr. B. asked; Are you rich?"
 l. "A millionaire, replied the wretched man.
 Then order your coachman to drive you to the Victoria station, start for Dover by the II o'clock train, take passage on a steamer for Marseil es and thence by rail to Nice. For six months should God spare your life eat neither bread, nor fruit, nor meat, neither drink wine, but eat cress, and only cress The cure is doubtful, but offer it to dying man"
 Six months later a robust young man crossed tho ante-room, where a num- Der of patients were waiting, and entered the office of Dr. R. At sight of the famous physician he rushed up and embraced him.
 Are you crazy?" asked the doctor.
 s'No, no; l am sane, but I realize that you have saved my life. Don't you know me? l am F., the million aire, whom you saved from an inevita- ble death by your wonderful treat ment. My improvement was miracu. lous. I am now in excellent health:" and, to verify his remarks he beat his chest with his fist.
 What" exclaimed the astonished physician, you are the man upon whom l experimented with cress2"
 'Yes, am he, responded the young man.
 The doctor signed to his assistant to retire, and then, quickly drawing Q small revolver, he leveled it and in an instant his patient fell dead at his feet.
 Without moments delay he com menced to make a post mortem ex- animation. When the police arrived, he was carefully examining the lungs of his victim with microscope and studying the effect of ssthe cress upon the diseased parts. To the officer he said: "I killed this man for an i'm mediate autopsy, to discover mystery which may be a boon to all mankind"
