CHICAGO, July e.-Grand Chief Clark,
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
met to-day with about fifty conductors
representing the Illinois Central lines
running into Chicago. The matter un-
der consideration was the sudden dis
charge of forty-one passenger and fifteen
freight conductors about the middle Of
June without any apparent cause, A
committee was appointed to confer with
General Superintendent Sullivan, of the
Illinois Central, and as a reason for the
discharge reported that the only answer

EATON COLLEGE BOYS
Inspected by Emperor William in
the Early Morning.
THE GREAT EVENT OF The DAY,
However, Was the Royal Marriage.
Thousandsof People Flock to Wind
sor to Witness the Magnificent AZ
fair---An Ocean Disaster Seventeen
People sIissing--other Foreign
News.

LONDON, July 6.-The Emperor Of
Germany arose at an early hour this
morning, and after light breakfast he
left Windsor Castle on horseback, ac-
companied by the Duke of Connaught
and staff, with the intentionof visiting
Eaton, England's most popular college
school. After enjoying a nice bracing
ride, the Emperor reached Eaton's pa
rade ground, and there found a well
equipped bright looking body of collie
gians, about $50 in number, drawn up in
line for his inspection. AS soon as the
Emperor arrived near the head OF the
line tho young Eaton volunteers pre-
sented arms in most soldierly precise
manner, causing the Emperor to smile
with approval. AS the lads brought
their rifles to the present" the Eaton
school band struck up the national an-
them, and the crowds in the neighbor-
hood cheered most heartily.
When the cheering had subsidized, the
Emperor rode to the front OF the line
and bowing to the young volunteers,
praised the manner In which they had
gone through their drill, which he said
was performed very creditably. The
Emperor added: ~ am very much
pleased with what j have seen of you.
II you are verScalled upon to draw
swords in earnest, hope you will do so
in good cause, and that you will show
the same pluck and spirit which has
always distinguished British soldiers" "
cRowDING TO THE WEDDING.
Crowds of people from London and all
parts of the country began to flock into
Windsor at very early hour this morn
ing, determined to do their utmost to at
least see something OF the great event
OF the day-the marriage OF the Princess
Louise, of schleswig- -Holstein, to Prince
Albert, of Anhalt. In view OF the crush
expected, force OF about 1850 police
men was sent from this city to Windsor,
and in addition the entire local con-
statutory force of Windsor and its
neighborhood was on duty. Windsor
was en- tte from roof to basement.
The wedding ceremony was performed
in st. Georges Chapel, and the Queen,
the Emperor, the Princess Of Wales,
the Empress and q host of royal celebri-
ties were present. The Princess OF
Wales rivalled the German Empress in
amiable congratulations to the married
couple. The generous allowance by
Parliament to the Princess Of Helen,
mother of the bride, and the liberality
OF Queen Victoria has enabled her to
enteEon married life with trosseau OF
bewildering extravaganza, carriage
dresses, tea gowns, evening dresses,
and all kinds of dresses, and other
proofs Of luxury, enough to stir the de-
votion of other German princes for the
remaining granddaughters OF Queen
Victoria.
This evening the German Emperor
and Empress were present at recep-
ton mt the castle and witnessed pro-
cessiop OF boats on the Thames.

explain it in my letter, which it ap-
pears failed TO do, although tho mem
oranda for my letter contained refer

II was not omitted,
"I need not add how greatly regret

lows:
~ have placed your communication,
together with all other facts bearing

tary Of the Treasury. So important an

of the bank is not CONSTANT with the
confidence which must necessarily be
reposed by the department in reports

tion OF national banks. BY direction
of the Secretary 1 have therefore to re-
quest that you forward TO this office
your resignation as examiner OF ma
tional banks"

tinue to conduct the affairs of the office

THE ELLIOTT TRIAL.
Eye witnesses Testify-Did Osborn Fir
the First Shot?

colusnUs, O., July G.-several eye
witnesses OF the tragedy testified for the
defense in the Elliott murder trial to-
day. William Hewitt swore he was
standing within eight feet of the de-

pocket and expose his revolver before
w. ]. Elliott passed by him. The wit
ness could not tell who fired the first
shot and became confused in his de-
scription Of Osborn.

evidence tends to show that Osborn was
the aggressor, said she did not see the
deceased, but saw a shot come from the
the direction in which she had seen him
located few moments boiore. This
was followed by Elliott returning the
fire. This is the beginning Of the ninth

THE RAvENNA DISASTER.
Twelve Persons Unaceounted Forth.
Coroner's Investigation

Twelve Persons Unnccounted For-The
Coroner's Investigation
ALLIANCE, o., July 6.-The horrible
wreck at Ravenna on Friday morning is
still the topic OF conversation every
where. The inquest was resumed by
Coroner Sherman this morning, but
nothing important was learned to date.
This morning considerable excite
ment was occasioned by the report that
Conductor Boynton's report of tickets
showed twelve people yet unaccounted
for, though some may have left without
making themselves known. Conductor
Boynton is firmly OF the opinion that
others were entirely consumed in the
fire, and that his son, who was the neg
ligent fagman supposed to have been
the cause OF the wreck, was one OF the
victims. The inquest may develop
some sensational facts in this matter.
Those who visited the wreck on Friday
morning noticed pieces of burned flesh
lying about the ruins, too small to be
identified as belonging to any part of q
human body.
The bodies have all been taken away
except that of the nurse girl who was
killed in the sleeper. Her name was
Miss Mamie Keenan,, in the employ Of
Ignatius Kugel, of Cincinnati; the child
she had with her was q little boy in
stead OF girl, as reported. Sixteen
bodies were taken to Corning, one to
Brooklyn, n. Y, and one to Cincinnati.
Friends were in Ravenna to-day looking
for missing man who was not report
ed among the killed. There were two
Pat Ryans on the train, one OF whom
was known to have been killed. The
other is missing and his friends think
he Ia among the killed.

TIE GRIMES

about that"
THE GRIMES.
The crimes for which the four were
condemned are as follows:
Harris A. sniler was at one time a
Salvation Army captain. BE was a
printer by trade and had developed q
rare faculty for getting married. At
the time the crime was committed
there were three women living TO whom
he had been married and none of them
had been divorced. The last one to go
through, the ceremony with him, Mag:
gle Drainey, was his victim. He had
been living with her at 2S4 Seventh
avenue, but on account OF his brutality,
she had determined to leave him. He
came home partly drunk on the night
OF April 3, 1889, and when she refused
to promise to remain with him, he shot
her 10 death.
James ]. Slocum lived at No. Z Cherry
street, and had been a base ball player
and common laborer. He had long
been a wife beater, but commonly
pounded his wife with his fists and
kicked her. On the night of December
81, 1889, he came home md took an
axe, which had been used by his wife
to break up boards for fuel, and beat
the woman's brains out with it.
Joseph Wood was one Of the negroes
employed in building the new acque-
duct. 0nepay day in May, 1880, he
got into one of the fights common
among the gangs Of laborers employed
there. His opponent was an Italian,
Casio Ruff, an acqueduct laborer. Ruff
was killed. Wood has always asserted
that he took Rufi's life in self defense.
The last of the four is Shibuya Jugiro,
a native of Japan. He was living in
one of the James street sailors homes,
waiting for a ship to return to Japan.
He got into dispute with q country
man, Muri Oanni. Jugiro got carving
knife and stabbed Canni to death in the
course of the fight that followed.
Various appeals were taken in all
their cases, which prolonged the date
of execution up to the present. -
