HOUsToN, Now ia conferen &c was
held to-day between committees represent
ing al the trainmen except the engineers
and tiremen of the Southern Pacific system
and General Superintendent Van Week.
The conference lasted all day but so far as
can be learned no progress was
made i'll the situation which threatens a
strike or the entire system from New Or
leans 10 San Francisco. The trainmen are
still making efforts to have the engineers
and nremen join in some demand, so that
should strike be ordered the entire sys-
TEN would be tied up. The men demand
material increase in pay first
Their petitions were presented to
to the numerous division superintendent
They refusing to accede to the demands,
the men appealed to General Superintendent
Van Week tonight. He declined to accede
conference with General Manager krutts-
nit. If he fails to agree TO their demands
the men will either appeal TO Z. p. Hunting
ton or order general strike. The
committeeman say they propose fighting
every inch Of ground The demand IS
made by the Order of Railway Conductors
aud Brotherhood of Railway Brakemen,
both Of which organizations can organize
and declare 4 strike. There is al
ways friction between the engineers
and the road, and should they join with the
other trainmen and their demands be re-
fused the greatest strike ever witnessed ON
the American continent would ensue, one
which would test the strength Of both sides,
Just Us the strike did HoXie.

it is generally believed, unless the railroad

everybody who travels across the continent

PARALYSIS of Memory,

CHICAGO, I'LL. Nov. l3-The Federal
grand jury did not make much progress in
its Investigation Of freight rates discrimir-
alton to-day. There were only two wit
ncsscs examined to-day and these two gen
tlcmen seemed to have paralysis of the
m nj As far as knowing anything about in
ters-a;c law violations. Mr.. W. H. Smith,
frci-h- agent of the Lackawanna line, was
the hTst witness this morning. He
was under fire about half an hour
and declared he knew absolutely
nothing, and Notwithstanding sharp ques-
ttoning by both District Attorney Alilchrist
ana some of the jurors, he did not give
"a iota of testimony that could be distort-
ell into the least scmhlauce of ! fact. G. B.
S,trirgs, the Jolly freight agent of the
Nickel Plate, did not know anything either
although ne WIS una"lned and among the
insuistors for three-qnarters of an hour.
The jury adjourned at : o'clock.

come one of the best paying properties in
the country and an important factor in tine
railway world. As it is, the Wabash can
not pursue any policy that may prove det-
rimental to the Missouri Pacific. and is
even closely limited in its competition, es-
pecially between Kansas City and St Louis.
We're 1t not for the Gould influence it could
easily distance the Missouri Pacific as the
leading st. Louis line out of Kansas City
both in time and service, and if footloose it
would become second Chicago & Alton.
But the fact that Gould holds the finances
of the Wabash in his hands prevents that
company from acting independently. 1t is
for this reason that, if the Wabash goes out
of the Western association, it will indicate
the policy and attitude of the Missouri Pa
citic. 1t may be that the determination to
secede will not be reached at once, but
there are good grounds for the belief that
the Wabash viii not be represented at many
more meetings of the association.

An Arrangement With the o. IL NJ. that
VIII Give Eoycotters a Chill.

The Alton fired one of its biggest booms
today in its fight against the boycotting
Eastern lines o. making a through rate of
SD from Kansas City 20 Cincinnati. The
raJe is made over the Alton and the Ohio
and Mississippi by way Of St. Louis. and
the announcement includes several interest
ing features. Notice OF tine application OF
the rate was filed ty the Alton with the in
;cTstatc commerce commission to-day, and
tine notice may serve as tie Introduction of
a costly decentralization among the Eastern
line rates, and indicates the possibility Of q
rate war. For some months past the Ohio
and Mississippi has been Offering the rate
L. the Western roads. but the association
lines have not dared 10 accept it. The Al
ton, however. has his taken advantage of
the offer. and scores a big point against two
OF the strongest boycotting lines, the Big
Four and the Vandalia.
With So rate Kansas City TO Cincin-
natl by way Of 81. Louis, the indianapolis
lines will be obliged TO put in the rate
through indianapolis, which will give i 3
scalp on that point. The Chicago lines
in applying the rate through Chicago will
also lay themselves open to - scalp and
the result will be the reduction of the regu-
lar rate to both points. This will be
severe blow TO the indianapolis lines. espe-
cially. and will III all likelihood inaugurate
Il retaliatory policy through which the
Eastern lines will surely get the worst Of it.

A schooImaster's Nickname.

For some reason of his own, an assistant
master at our school, whose Christian
name was Joseph, used to sign himself at
length, "Josephus," apparently consider
ing it an improvement on the more famil-
lar appellation. Though good fellow as
assistant masters go, he was terribly fussy
about trihes which master with more
tact would have passed by as If unseen
The consequence was that we made the
most of his precious front name, and the
school humorist dubbed him, "Josey Fuss, I"

Burglars have some good about them
after all. Two little girls at Long Island

man in their room. Thinking it was their
father, they called. The man sat down
by their bedside, and the girls stroked his
face with their hands and kissed him. His

jumped out OF bed crying he was not papa,

no opposition, and by the time the girl had
aroused her father he had escaped. leaving

THE CHOICE OF HATS.

This cunning arrangement Of hair has
caused moments of grievous embarrass-
ment, as in the case of an otherwise very
nice man who, when in the act of propos-
ing to a charming lady in romantic
glade, had his hat suddenly blown away
His long curl caught by the wind, uncoiled
itself and hung in wild disorder down the
discomtitted lovers back and about his
face Under such circumstances, what
girl could have accepted wooeI with the
uetitting gravity that such an event always
demands?
Top hats are hideous, but custom has set
her decree, and We must submit and make
tine best of what we cannot alter These
always unbecoming head dresses look their
very worst when either too large or too
small Some are to be seen only just kept
from reaching the neck by resting on the
ears which in most cases nature with kind
forethought has provided of suitable shape
and size to fulfill that mission with credit
10 themselves.
But it is quite as bad to see small hat
perched on the top of large head and
looking as if each movement OF the wearer
would send it flying. What men call white
bats, but women-with more regard to the
lust claims of color--call gray, are degree
worse, for they al once do away with what
ever character the face may have possessed
