arbitrators Investigating.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 24.-The
State Board of Arbitration today be-
gan the hearing into the causes of the
switchmen's strike. There is very
little general interest taken In it.
Chief Arthur, OF the engineers, has,
it is believed, Indicated to Mr..
Sweeney, of the Switchmen's order,
that it will be impossible for him to
be present at the proposed conference.
This is construed to mean that the
Engineers order will have nothing to
do with the switchmen's difficulty
and that the Engineers order will
not cooperate In sympathetic strike.
Reasoning from this, some conclu-
sions may be reached. Mr.. Sargent
will not take out his men to aid Mr..
Sweeney's men, unless all organ
lied railway men also go out. Mr..
Arthur's men will not come out.
Therefore Mr.. Ssrgent's men will not
go out. This leaves Chief Sweeney
but two courses to pursue, either to
declare officially that his followers
have been defeated by the companies,
or call out all other switchmen on
lines that were affected by the
recent strike in Buffalo. The prob
able action of Chief Sweeney, how
ever, cannot be surmised, as even his
lieutenants acknowledge that they
are ignorant of his line of campaign.

A Hold I'm

VAN buren,, Ark. Aug. 24.-At
Nowata, I. T., a station on the Kan
sas and Arkansas Valley railroad,
l4O miles west of here, last night,
while Auditor Wright was travelling
Passenger Agent Johnson were en-
gagged in checking the accounts of
Agent Wilson, who resigned few
days ago, intending to take trip to
San Francisco, several bandits entered
and covered them with revolvers, or
deriDg them to throw up their hands,
which order was promptly Obeyed.
Wilson was then compelled to open
the safe, while two desperados held
Wright. Johnson and Wilson at bay.
The third emptied the contents of
the safe into a sack. About
fifteen thousand dollars were secured,
onethird being Wilson's personal
property, the balance the railroad
and express company's. After rob-
bling Wilson, Johnson and Wright of
q gold watch, each, and what money
they had, the htghwaymen backed
out of tie door and disappeared IN
the darkness. AS coon as the rail-
road men recovered from their
surprise they gave the alarm,
aud a posse started in pursuit, but
nothing has been heard from them.
1t is known that the Dalton gang
were in this vicinity for three days
and there is no doubt but that the
robbery was committed by the gang.

Soldiers Born. Not Made.

Over on Governors Island, just be-
low the city of New York, there is
one veteran, who has done his country
some service, writes Foster Coates In
his interesting department side
Talks With Boys" in the September
Ladies' Home Journal. He is a ma
jor-general in the army OF the United
States. He would have one arm
more If be had let some one else do
the fighting for him when fighting
was to be done. He commanded q
wing of Sherman's army in the great
march from Atlanta to the Sea, and
he has served In many places, and
always well. This man is General
Oliver Otis Howard. He is very brief
in expressing his opinion of military
geniuses. They are like the poets,"
said the general to me one day; you
can't make them"
"What are the chances in military
lite?" he continued repeating my
question. "Well, here Is one of
them" and at this point he lifted the
stump of the arm that had been shot
away.
"Still," he said, az see no reason
why young Americans should keep
out of the army or navy. This is q
great country, and no one knows
what the future may bring forth. At
present our navy is very largely
manned by foreign sailors. l wish
it were otherwise, for believe that
we have the best men in the world
right here in this country"

Nelson Nailed Him.

Yesterday afternoon Joe Coin, the
wrestler, was talking to Albert Mel
son, the acrobat at Central PARK,
about getting up an exhibition wrest-
ling match. He told Nelson that he
would not throw him very hard. Nell
son, by the way is one of the best Gr@co
Roman wrestlers of his weight in the
country. He listened to Coin quite
patiently and finally asked him to go
on the stage and wrestle just to see
what he could do. This the
unsuspecting Coin did. They COM
menced work easily but sud-
denly Nelson made q rush and
catching his man, threw him
heavily to the floor. The next two
falls were won just as easily. The
last fall Nelson won by throwing
Coin over his head and landing him
square on his shoulders. Coin has
not showed up at the park since but
claims that he can throw Nelson. G.
p. Blatt, the manager, says be will
back Nelson tor $50.

and it is likely that at todsy's meet

on west bound freight and passenger
rates will be complete. The Rio
Grande will be the fret
to withdraw today and this
may be followed by the resignation OF

oppose the big payments made

4 Notable Reunion,

PosTON, Aug. 24.-Tremont Temple
is today the scene OF unique family
reunion. IL 1880 Robert Fletcher, one
OF the old Puritans, settled in Con-
cord, Mass. In 1876 his descendants
formed the FLETCHER Family Union "
They held reunions, such as that in
progress today, at stated intervals.
They have president, secretary,
treasurer and host of vice presi-
dents. all OF whom bear the name of
Fletcher. Today a great family din
ner will be served. at which 500
Fletchers and Fletcher descendants
will have seats. The family" has a
collection of one thousand photo
graphs and oil paintings of heads of
Fletcher families. At each meeting
one member of every branch Of the
family hands q complete list of the
years deaths, births and marriages.
1t is the most complete family" or.
ganizstion in the United States,
Among those here are many from
California and Minnesota. Most of
those present are from the. New Eng
land states.

Outing and Tramping Dress.

Home Maker.
1t is economy in the end to have
special dresses for special uses, and
, for young girls who are continually
going 1t is q saving beyond question.
A dress worn through briars and over
rocks can hardly be expected to keep
it's pris tine beauty, even of stou t
goods, and therefore will not be very
attractive after having passed through
the wars when appearing in the
home. The tramping dress seems a
necessity with rollicking girls.
Quite the most novel trimming used
this summer is the kid or leather
facings at the edge of the skirt. Two
skirts are hung to belt; blouse
waist of thinner material of the same
, color, as silk or cham bray is for warm
, days, while a short cape fastened at
the shoulders is worn when cool days
come. All are trimmed with the
leather, which protects the edges of
the skirt and gives a stylish finish to
the whole. A Tyrolesn hat has 3
piece of leather as band.
