to adopt his plans. Whether he at
tempted this or not could not be
learned, as. when the afternoon session
was finished, none of the members of
the board would say how the matter
was introduced. However the subject
of joint agencies was the princi-
pal one considered. Russell Sage and
Mr.. Dillon. after recess, came to the
hotel at half-past 2 o'clock, and the
meeting Immediately reconvened. The
resolution adopted by the board is vir-
tually the tve-yeai plan drawn up by
Mr.. Gould and Col. John McCook, and
presented to the railroad men at the
meeting at which the association was
organized. but rejected for the one-year
plan. AT the close of to-day's meeting,
which adjourned sine die, all the mem
bers of the board expressed
the opinion that the resolution
as offered would be accepted
by the various roads, and that the plan
or establishing Joint agencies would be
successfully carried out. Mr.. Gould
said that he considered the adoption of
plan OF five-year existence, and the
consideration of forming joint agencies,
the two most important things the board
had done since its formation. He said
he was very we'll satisfied with
the work done by the board at
this meeting. 1t would prove
OF great benefit to all concerned.
Sidney Dillon said that the lion and The
lamb had lain down together. He had
never attended meeting that ended
with such unanimity of mind on the
part of all present as the one just held.
Mr.. Dillon, however, omitted to say in
what spirit the meeting referred to be-
gan. That was what many were anX-
lous to find out. but none succeeded in
so doing. Russell Sage went away
smiling and apparently we'll satisfied
with the outcome of the conference.
He said he was we'll pleased with what
had been done.

is 1T A TRICK q?
That Is the Question Asked About
Leeds Discharge.


CHICAGO, May Mot a little sur
prise was manifested in railroad circles
to-day by the announcement from New
York that President Gould had actually
discharged Freight Traffic Manager
Leeds, of the Missouri Pacific, for vio-
lating the presidents agreement In re-
ducing the rate on sugar. The impress
sion had prevailed for several days that
Gould would manage to smooth matters
over, or by some trick would get out of
the difficulty without incurring anv
penalty or being put to the necessity of
dlsciplining au employe. One traffic
official this evening SAID: ''The
earnest in his expressed desire
to maintain harmonious relations with
his competitors. He evidently has more
plans, the carrying out of which de-
pends upon continuation of the agree
ment. After he has spun his web, and
got the other roads where they cannot
do any harm to his interests, Pll wager
that he won't be at any pains to pre-
serve peace. Leeds so-called defense
was, in my opinion, blind, for he
practically admitted that he alone was
to blame. and made no great effort to
justify his action. l think it was a pre-
dIlaHSeu Scuelne 10 give GOulu
the opportunity of discharging
him, and to making great
point with the other presidents
whose distrust of him had recently
become so apparent. Leeds will be
taken care Of" Other railroad men
take more generous view of the mat
ter, although it is hard to find any who
do not believe that Leeds salary vii
go on just the same after he has left the
Missouri Pacific. The report that he
will be given position on the Union
Pacific is not credited at all, because
the agreement provides that when an
employe is discharged for violation of
the agreement he shall not be employed
by any other company in the associ-
alton. 1t is believed that Gould's ac-
ton will have good effect in restoring
measure of confidence in the Western
Traffic association, and perhaps i'll
leading to the adoption of stronger
and better agreement.

BURNED A PLANT.
Coke Strikers Are Accused Offset

Coke Strikers Are Accused Offset
ting Fire to the Mutual.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, May THE monot-
ony was rather broken to-day by the
burning Of plant of the Mutual COM
pany, which crippled its operations
somewhat. The Mutual was one of tie
lirst plants to resume, and the company
officials charge the strikers with setting
fire to the plant. Guards, who had been
Withdrawn week ago, will again be
placed on duty. Tonight a report
reached here that an explosion had oc-
CURED at the Adelaide plant, but this
the company denies. The evctions to-
day were uneventful, the families ratil-
er taking their cruel as matter of
course, and, after pulling few wry
faces at the deputies, made themselves
as comfortable as possible on the high
ways pending the arrival of tents,
though these latter prove poor shield
10 the biting frosts. The sensational
stories of strikers that new men at
Morewood. who had refused to go TO
WORK, were being imprisoned and guard
ed, are denied by officials of the county,
ana no verificatiOn can be found. An
other report that men in the mines were
Obliged to sleep, eat and work
there without once seeing day
lght, lacks confirmation, and is
Laughed at by officials. There is no
doubt, however, that the foreigners are
closely watched to prevent their mixing
with the strikers. Many are in ig-
norance that big strike is now pro-
crossing, and would certainly quit work
II given free communication with out
slders. That this access is denied them,
no doubt gives rise to many stories of
Imprisonment. Labor officials are dis
tributing relief money, but great suffer
ing is reported i'll isolated cases, and
there is sad lack of funds in the strik-
ers' camp. The influx OF foreign labor
ers continues, and every arrival is ten
derly, cared for by the company's
guards.

THE BOYCOTT FAILS.
a Decided Increase in the Atoms
Passenger Business

CHICAGO, May IA little uneasiness
is apparent among the officials of some
OF the Eastern roads on account of the
complacent manner in which the Chi
cago & Alton takes its punishment
The management of the latter road con-
tends that the boycott is not interfering
with its business, and so long as the
present condition of things continues
conservative the policy of the road will
not be departed from. 1t is intimated,
however, that the Eastern roads are
quietly accepting its tickets, and care
fully concealing the fact from the board
of rulings. Certainly the Alton people
take more roseate view of the situa-
tion than anybody else just now, and
are showing proofs of increased passen-
ger business not only in the crowded
condition Of their trains, but in their
statements of earnings. According to
these statements the increase in passen-
ger earnings, as compared with the cor
responding period last year, averages
about $500 per day.

Special to the Globe.
SYKEsToN, n. D., May 7.-Thomas J.
Mathews, prominent young man and
farmer residing three miles distant
from this place, was thrown from a
horse Sunday evening and received in
juries from which he died in twenty
four hours, without regaining conscious
ness. 1t seems that two other young
men were driving along in a two
wheel cart, while young Mathews was
riding along behind upon a spirited
horse. They all started in for race,
and were going at quite a speed when
the horse hitched to the cart suddenly
stopped, throwing the two occupants of
the cart to the ground, and the horse
ridden by Mathews dashed through the
cart with such force that it killed the
horse. When its rider was picked up
he was insensible, and was taken to the
home of his parents, short distance
away, and TWO physicians summoned,

RIOT AVERTED.
A Conductor Handles a Mob of
Drunken Negroes.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. May IA terri
bic race riot was narrowly avoided on
the Western railroad at Whitehall to-
night by the coolness and determination
of Conductor r. w. German. When
the regular passenger train reached
there two carloads of drunken negro
picnickers were attached to the regular
train. No sooner was this done than
the drunken negroes made rush for
the ladies' car, and some of them
entered it, swearing and using
all sorts of vulgar language. The con-
ductor took in the situation, and rush
ing into the express car, returned a
moment later with half dozen Win
chesters and some revolvers. Quickly
organizing posse among the passeri-
gers and trainmen, he ordered the
negroes out of the ladies' car. They
appeared sullen and were inclined to be
stubborn at first, but under the muzzles
of the deadly firearms they were slowly
forced from the car and into their COM
partment without any bloodShed. The
ring-leaders were brought TO this city
and jailed. The conductor experienced
trouble in preventing the crowd at the
different stations along the line from
assaulting the negroes on the train.

An Act of Courage

Special to the Globe.
DEADwooD, S. D., May IA wild
ing fifty miles an hour collided with a
passenger train on the Deadwood Gem
tral this morning. The engineer re-
versed his engine and jumped, followed
by the fireman, and both would have
escaped injury had not Charles Batten-
sepley, the engineer, boarded his engine
after the collision and again reversed
it. Much credit is due him, as in doing
so he was badly scalded, but the act
probably prevented more serious da-
age, as the return trip would have been
on very steep down grade. Arthur
Simpson, the conductor, was seriously
injured, but not fatally.

DolNGs OF DOCTORS.
Officers Elected and Various Top

WASHINGTON, May THE first busi-
ness before the medical association this
morning was the report of the board of
trustees: of the Journal. By general
wish, the report says, the publication
office was continued in Chicago. No
editor has been appointed, as the Chi
cago representatives on the board had
thoroughly done that work. The report
was adopted. The committee on nomi-
nations then recommended the appoint
ment of the following officers. and they
were chosen: President, DIR. II. o.
March. Boston; first vice president,
DR.. Willis p. King, of Missouri; sec
ond vice president, DIR. Henry Palmer,

Dunglison, of Pennsylvania; secretary,
DR.. William B. Atkinson, of Pennsyl-
vania; librarian. DR.. George W. Web

as the place for the next annual meet
ing, and the time was fixed for the first
Tuesday in June. DR.. j. M. Matthews,
of louisville, KY, then delivered
the address on general sur
gerry. The committee appointed
to petition congress to create
a cabinet officer to be called the medi-
cal secretary of public health reported
that the time had come for an authori-
tative and responsible representative in
the government, in behalf of the medi-
cal profession. State medicine, the
public health and general hygiene, the
management of epidemics, the regula-
tion of the laws of medical education,
the restriction of immigration, the cor
rection of such evils as miscegenation,
intemperance and prostitution all were
active factors i'll government, and as
such need cabinet representative,
most fifty chosen from the medical pro-
fession. The committee on the Rush

THAT LONG ISLAND FIRE.
The Loss Will Exceed Half a Mill

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y. May Fire
engines and tugs are still playing OH the
ruins of the greatest fire Long Island
City has ever had. The aggregate
losses will exceed even the estimates
already made, and will reach probably
100000. None of those burned out
were willing to place more than an ap-
proXimate estimate on their individual
losses. The losses of the Export
Lumber company will probably reach
S250,000. The III. f. Burroughs
Co.'s lumber yards were also entirely
destroyed, and the loss is about $780,
600. Doncaster u Bros, iron founders.
will lose $4,000; the Whiting Lumber
company, $1,000: Hummeis stoneyards,
$4,000: Clark11& Sampson, hay and feed,
$4,000; Macintosh d Co., lumber, S25,-
600; the Tunls-Sims company. $1,000,
and E. McCleer, $1,000. Ali the above
firms are partially insured. Nothing
definite about their exact losses and in
surance can be learned from the fact
that the offices were destroyed, and if
any of the books were saved they are in
the safes lying in the ruins.

SHOT HIS DAUGHTER.
An Insane Policeman Fires Two
Shots Into His Only Daughter.

A7
CHICAGO, May IA terrible deed
was committed this morning by Police
Officer Eugh Burns, who is probably
the murderer of his daughter Iva.
Burns has been acting in peculiar
manner since the death of his wife,
some weeks ago, and when he returned
home from the station this morning his
daughter noticed that his behavior was
unusually strange. She questioned him,
and in fit Of passion he drew his
revolver and fired two shots at the
girl. The first bullet entered the left
breast just above the heart, and will
probably prove fatal. The second bail
made slight flesh wound in the thigh.
Burns has been on the force a. number
of years. He was placed under arrest.
Burns is the father of eight children,
the one shot being his only daughter.
She was the object of his love and pride,
and he was never tired of dilating on
her beauty to his friends. "She is the
idol of my life," he would say. When
arrested he delivered up his revolver
and remarked that if he had some more
cartrides he would kill himself and his
other children. He is violently insane.

from the Keystone bank is not embraced
in the operations OF John G. Lucas.
Transactions which have occurred since
his death have come to light
that tend strongly to confirm
the assertion freely made that
''when money was gone they said just

openly charged that in this manner
large amounts Of money were taken and
tracks of its disappearance buried In

tonishing revelations are expected.
Forgery is limited at. Notes are said to

operations from the public. and these
attempts at suppression will probably
be carried into the proceedings of the
