ALL SETTLED.
The Telegraphers' Trouble Is Adj.
juSted at Last.

After lengthy but rather uneventful
war of words the telegraphers' trouble has
been settled, and there is peace once more
over all the Southern Pacific.
An agreement was formulated last even
ing of the many wearisOme discussions,
which will be ratified to-day by the con-
tracing parties, after which the members
of the Grievance Committee will depart for
their respective stations. II is victory for
both sides, and while the full agreement is
not known it is evident that all parties con-
concerned are satisfied with the compro-
mise which has amicably adjusted what at
one time promised to develop into serious
trouble.
Three meetings were held yesterday, two
at Southern Pacific headquarters and one
at the Baldwin Hotel in the evening.
Messrs. Towne, Fillmore and Pratt met the
Grievance Committee, under d. G. Ramsey
and c. S. Prince, and the day was taken up
in discussion concerning the reinstate-
ment of certain discharged operators-many
of whom had been asked to resign on ac-
count of participation in work incident to
the more perfect organization of Southern
Pacific operators. Not less than twenty
men were discharged for this cause alone,
and while the propositions relating TO the

such as must be ver-failing source of

There were over 1000 wounded Confederate

souls and nerves of strong men and earnest
women. What the brave little nine-year-old
maiden must have suffered of fright, home
sickness, anxiety and pain is easier to i'm
agine than to describe. Mrs. Jungerman
did not attempt to describe it to THE CALL

memory, even after this lapse of years, and
cOntented herself with saying il was an
awful remembrance.
1t was glad day for the little girl when
her father and mother with the rest of the
