trenchment policy of the Chicago, Burling-

eral Offices of the Baltimore & Maryland.
Fifteen high railroad clerks, many of whom
have been with the company ten years, re-

At Plattsmouth the notices of discharge
are being promiscuously circulated. The
general storekesper's department had the
force of thirty clerks cut to fifteen. 1t is
reported that wholesale discharges will
occur from Chicago west throughout the
system. The notices read that "Poor bust
ness and discouraging prospects require a
reduction of expenses in all departments. -
The discharged men assert that the reduc-

SOLD GIN ON SUNDAY
The Proprietor of the Foam
Saloon Gets in Trouble.
HE SOLD DRINKS TO THE COPS
The Board Of Education Case Set for Hear
ing on March 14-Other Minor
Matters Yesterday.

The proprietor of the Foam saloon,
George E. Yeadon, was before Judge
Laney yesterday, charged with selling
liquor on Sunday. The complaint alleged
that on Sunday last Officers Yocum and
Heath went to the Foam saloon and RECALLED
themselves on spirituous and malt bever-
ages, for which they paid the regulation
price.
Mr.. Hurd, the defendants attorney,
demurred to the complaint on the ground
that it alleged the commission of two sep
arate and distinct offenses and consolidated
them. He held that each glass of liquor
sold on Sunday was violation of the or
dinance and was separate offense. The
prosecution must elect on which charge ii
would proceed
Judge Laney made little calculation on
the basis suggested by Mr.. Hurd. He
thought saloon keeper might sell SOC
glasses on Sunday. If the selling of each
drink constituted a separate offense,
then the saloon man would have
500 charges against him, and il the penalty
was enforced he would be sent TO jail for
his natural life tor a misdemeanor. The
Judge came to the confusion that this prop
osition wouldn't hold water, and the trial
was proceeded with. The officers testified
positively that they purchased the drinks
as alleged. The defense made an effort tc
show that the man who sold the drinks wa:
not the bar-keeper and was acting withou,
authority, but failed, and the defendant
was fined $50 and costs.
Charles Smith and Tom McElvie were
fined IS each for drunkenness
Geo. Smith was arrested yesterday fol
vagrancy and will be tried to-day.

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES
The Grievance of the Western
Engineers.
A Handsome Work from the Missouri Pacific
Our Freixht Receipts-0nly Wreck
Personal and General.

Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers, arrived here yester-
day morning. pursuant to an urgent call
from the grievance committee of the Rio
Grande Western engineers to come to Den
yer and help them settle their trouble with
the officials. Colonel D. G. Dodge, general
manager of the road, left the city Friday
night for Salt Lake and Mr.. Arthur did not
get to see him. A telegram was sent to him
asking him to appoint meeting either at
Denver or Salt Lake as soon as possible.
Mr.. Arthur, in company with grievance
committee, consisting of ]. T. Beless, chair
man; G. S. Blackmar, Monroe Brown and
w. G. Barker, was seen by News reporter
at the Albany hotel yesterday.
He stated that the company had made an
agreement with the engineers in 1887 to
pay certain schedule of wages, and il had
broken the agreement by reducing wages
about fifteen months ago. The local griev-
ance committee had gone before the general
superintendent, but could not reach settle
ment with him. The wages remained I'M
changed and he was sent for as last re-
sort. When MIR. Dodge comes he will treat
with him, and in all probability the matter
will be amicably arranged.
When asked concerning the strength of
the order, he said
1--WE have now about 1000 members,
which is about rs per cent. of the total
number of engineers in the country. We
have not had stike since the trouble with
the O. Generally speaking, we are
against strikes. We wish to settle all diff
ferences peaceably, If possible; but we do
not say that we won't strike. If it is nee
essary to strike in order to obtain our
rights, we will do so, and we are better
prepared now then we ever were. AS to
the probability of this trouble leading to a
strike, l can't say until l have seen Mr.
Dodge. Isuppose, however, that it will
all be arranged without trouble"
1t is inferred from all circumstances
that the trouble must be serious one, as
Chief Sargent, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen, was also sent for and
came in last night The members OF the
grievance committee did not say much, but
from the serious manner in which they
spoke, ii was evident that they are very
much dissatisfied and that they will not be
likely to accept anything less than what
they demaDded.-Dsn Nous.

More Railroad Cousolidatiou schemes.

[Specialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, March 3.-Anotheri important
meeting of railroad presidents, it is said on
good authority, mas been called and will be
held in this city in a few days. President
Marvel, Of the Atchison, is now here; Vicc-
President Clark, of the Missouri Pacific
and Union Pacific, is expected at any mo-
ment. and the presidents of nearly all the
other large systems are either already here
or are said to be on their way. 1t is as
serted steps will be taken at the meeting to
make the recently ado pied rates permanent
Jay Gould is understood to De working for
more binding agreement than that which
now stands. All the western roads, accord =
ing to the story, have agreed to enter into
new and stronger contract except the
Burlington and Rock Island, which refuse
to join in any new association. Parties
identified with Gould say that conferences
have been held since President Manvers
arrival looking to the contamination of his
scheme to consolidate the Missouri Pacific
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and At
Gibson into new company, and that the
scheme is very close to being carried out.
The address was thoughtful discussion
of the railroad problem. Judge Cooley, in
closing, said: There are mischiefs in the
railroad service that are outside of it, but
we distinctly indicate the main source of
the difficulty when we place our finger up
on the power that exists now to make and
unmake rates for passenger and freight
transportation, So long as 800 bodies of
men in the country are at liberty to make
rate sheets at pleasure, and to unmake or
cut and recut them in every direction at
their own unlimited discretion, or want of
discretion, and with little restraint on the
part of the law, except as it imposes few
days delay in putting the changes in force,
the problem will remain to trouble the
| United Stases. Owing to the mere ex-
istence of the pnwer-making bosses, dis
order and confusion are constantly
| imminent"
! Some papers were read at the afternoon
| session

E. E. BRIM DEAD.
The Peculiar Circumstances At.
tending His Demise.
He Enters the Catholic Hospital, Wanders
Away and is Found Nearly Frozen
Pneumonia the Result.
Ed Brim is dead.

Just what future developments may show
is, of course, unknown. but it is safe to say
that he did not receive such care and atten-
ton as he had right to expect at the
hands Of those who are popularity supposed
to look after the welfare of patients who
enter that building. So far as could be
learned at a late hour last evening, the de-
ceased came in from his mine at Ophir and
went to the Cliff house, as usual, when he
came to town. He complained of not feel
Ing well, and soon thereafter he went to
the hospital. Early yesterday morning
some of his friends, who were anxious to
know how he had passed the night tele-
phoned to the hospital and were informed
that he was getting along much better than
could be expected. This was between Z
and 80. Soon after that time Mr.. Brim
was discovered hanging on fence on
Second North and near Seventh West. 1t
was evident that he had walked until he
had exhausted his strength, and mad thrown
his arms over the fence to rest. He was
conveyed to the Gift house, and it
soon became evident that the exposure had
been most disastrous. He was only par
TALLY dressed, his night-shirt taking the
place of the day garment, and this was un
Duttonen in places. He was cold, "chilled
through as some of those present ex-
pressed it, and lived but few hours after
being found. He was not in condition to
give any very clear account of himself, but
from what can be learned, it was evident
that he became delirlous soon after reach
Ing the hospital, and, unnoticed by any of
the attendants, he mad partially dressed
himself and wandered away. In mis- weak
condition, it must have taken him several
hours to reach the spot where he
was found, which is nearly three miles
from the hospital Mr.. Brim was born in
1858, and has lived many years in this city
and the mining camps adjacent
There was considerable indignation ex
pressed by his friends yesterday, that the
rules OF the hospital should be SO lax as to
allow a patient to wander about in such a
way, and it is evident that, at the time the
hospital people telephcned that Mr.. Brim
was ''all right" he had not been in the
institution for several hours.

Idaho, as follows OF recent occurrence:
Yesterdays train arrived here two hours
behind time, and on leaving Ketchum both
engines jumped the track, causing COM
plete wreck, besides tearing the snow plow
entirely from the engine. The news Of the
accident was at once autographed to Poca-
tello whereupon the wrecking crew, pulled
by two engines, was sent to the scene, but
at 10 80 last night word was received that
they had also been ditched, snow and ice
being the cause. The Alturas hotel is the

but in Utah.
The theatre was jammed from turret to

were seated those on whose heads lay the
SHOWS OF many winters; in the first circle
were punches and clusters of widows.

whom never see the inside of the theatre

everything was done for love, and the way
the big hearted old folks committee han
died everything and made every one feel
like they were in their own homes, was
something that only that same committee
knows how TO achieve.
The ball began rolling at 2 O'clock with a
warm, hearty, old fashioned speech from
Brother Goddard, who addressed each of
the various classes in language suited to
their capacity possibly, the deaf

light people and all attaches who mad given
their services free, and then produced five
handsome bouquets, which be said were to
