About forty men have left the mill

the number have been discharged,
while others were tired of theta jobs. A
good number Of the new men are mem
bers of the State Militia. After they
were sent home they applied at the mill
for work and were always successful In
securing work These men have made
a pretty good stake and are now going
home to spend their wages.
Some two or three weeks ago, one OF
the new men who was a conductor In
transportation department, and who
had charge of No. crew, took sick and
his place was filed by an DIN employe.
Yesterday the new man reported for
duty and this morning he went to work
and the man who had been filling his
vacancy during his absence was sent to
breaking. he refused to work under
an incompetent man, together with
fourteen other member Of the crew, and
they resigned their positions. leaving
that department in crippled condi-
ton.
A room was secured by the relief COM
mittee at the corner Of Fourth and Am

be stored as they are received and the
room will be under the charge OF j. ID.

At the Worlds Fair Will be One OF the
Finest From Central America.
WASHINGTON, December 12.-The
Bureau of American Republics is in re-
ceipt Of information from Guatemala
that from present indications it seems
probable that the Republic will make
the best showing at the Worlds Column
bian Exposition OF any Of the Central
American States. The local work is
under the care of DR.. Gustave GuZman,
who represented that country at Paris
in 1889, a wide-awake, intelligent and
industrious man who is unceasing In
his efforts in behalf of the Fair. The
Government has rented large building
for the storage Of articles which are
daily arriving from all parts
of the country and large
corps OF men are busy packing and
preparing the same for exhibit. Mr..
Pacheca, the United States Minister, is
doing good work in behalf OF the ex-
position, and he is ably seconded by the
efforts OF Mr.. Leon Rosenthal, a prom
inent merchant and honorary commits
sioner. Twenty thousand dollars has
already been sent, bringing the materials
for their rude huts and for their primi-
tive manufactures, which will be car
ried on at Jackson Park. President
Barrlos is warm friend to the United
States, having lived in this country and
married an American lady, and as the
financial condition of the country has
greatly impraved, it is becoming daily
apparent that very fine display will be
made by this prosperous country.

SERIES OF EXCITING INCIDENTS.
A Runaway Train and Its MAD career
on the Pennsylyania Railroad.


HAzELToN, PA, December Ia
fraight train on the Pennsylvania rail-
road was wrecked at Silver Brook. Inc
train parted, the advance portion WIN
the engine attached running far ahead
OF the rear. On approaching Silver
Brook the red board was turned ana
Engineer Dewald reversed his engine
and applied the air brakes. just tnen
the other portion OF the train was hearu
laundering down the mountain. Inc
train hands jumped for their lives. Inc
engineer started out but the terrible
speed of the approaching cars was too
great. A collision was inevitable. Ait
or reversing again the engineer aoan-
doned the train. The momentum al
ready gained pushed the engine slowly
down the grade They had not gone
far when the crash came. Seven cars
were smashed TO splinters, but strange
to say the train again parted and the
engine with the remaining portion OF
the train continued down the mountain
at an increased speed. The brakes had
been loosened by the jar.
The Philadelphia express was then
due at Delano Junction. Messages were
sent to that point to sidetrack the
freight and throw it off the tracks. The
operator, however. misinterPreted his
orders and merely put out the stop sig
nal The riderless engine dashed by.
Seeing his mistake the operator jumped
for his instrument. The express was
then approaching New Boston. The
instrument clicked quickly. New Bos-
ton answered it. "For Gods sake get
the express out OF the way" was the re-
Spouse. The express hastily sidetracked
while with breathess excitement the
runaway train was awaited. 1t did not
come. Trainmen who started up the
track found the engine on a curve at a
standstill. Steam had been exhausted
and the boiler was almost dry. The
tracks at Silver Brook were torn up for
a distance of one hundred yards. The
traffic was suspended for several hours.

SHORT AND INCONCLUSIvE.

The Conference Between Dickinson and
the Grievance Committee. 4s
OMAHA, Feb, 1.-THE conference between
Manager Dickinson and the grievance COM
rnittee of tho Union Pacific to-day was
short and inconclusive. Dickinson re-
fused to discuss proposition for general
increase in wages and the employees with
drew without presenting minor complaints.
They have appointed press committee,
who make statement to the effect that the
committee submitted new schedule of
wages more than week ago, and at the
conference Dickinson made a statement
purporting to give the aggregate increase of
wages under the proposed schedule.
According to his own statements
the figures are based on the SER
vice of the three busiest months
of the year. Estimates by tho committee
indicate that the aggregate increase will
not exceed 90 per cent of the sum named
by Dickinson. The committee proposed a
discussion of the new sche 'ue, article by
article, but Dickinson positively refused to
entertain any proposition for an increase
of wages until the schedule was withdrawn.
That would have left the committee with
out n cause. The members felt aggrieved
at the scant courtesy shown them as repre-
sentativeR of the great organizations OF
railway men and left. Dickinson resolved
to appeal to General Manager Clark. He
will meet their officers in this city next
week.

Mrs. Osborne Returns to Face the Conse-
Quonccs of Pilfering.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Osborne. who sur
rendered herself to the police yesterday to
answer charges in connection with tho
theft of iewelry belonging to Mrs. Har-
ereave, was formally arraigned before Lord
Mayor Evans this morning. The lorG
mayor held court in the old council cham
Der in Guild Hall. The court room can ac-
commodate only 200 person. and the crowd
anxious to liston to the proceeding was SO
large that it was found necessary to detail
an extra force of police to keep order
among the people. Mrs. Osborne appeared
in court heavily veiled and accompanied
by her husband She seemed utterly
broken down and in every way she up-
peared to appreciate her painful position.
A representative of the treasury appeared
and stated that he had no evidence against
the prisoner, whereupon Mrs. Osborne was
discharged. She was Immediately re-
arrested on charge of perjury, for testify
ing in a libel suit brought by her against
Mrs. Hargreave, She was taken to tho
police court, where after All examination
she was remanded to Jail for one week.

LAND DECISION.
Tho Helens Land Once Reversed in =
Mis8oufa Case.

Tho Helens Land Office Reversed in =
Missouia Case.
M1ssouLA, Feb. g. Special. An i'm
portant decision has just been received by
the Missoulaland office from the general
land Office at Washington. In the year 1885
VIM. Aibers filed a redemption claim on
eighty acres of land near Frenchtown. About
the sYms time +. II. Woody, by power of
attorney from II. v. Jones, filed soldiers
additional homestead entry on the same
ground. The contest which arose was de-
cided by Helena land office in favor OF
Nose Clemens. to whom the ground had
been transferred by John Francis. who had
bought it from Woody. Albers appealed
the case to the general land Office, where IL
has been until now. The decision given re-
verses the finding Of the Helena office and
instructs that the Woody filing be held for
cancellation. The opinion accompanying
the decision says the power of attorney
under which Woody acted amounted to q
tranfer Of jones' rights to a soldiers addi-
tional homestead entry, something against
the law. There are numerous additional
homestead rights which have been similarly
transferred in this county. The decision
just rendered will probably cause consider
able litigation.

FICTITIOUS SELLING,
The Real Cause of Low Prices for Fla
Products

The Real Cause of Low Prices for Farm
Products.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.--John Whitaker, a
large pork packer of st. Louis and Wichita,
to-day addressed the house committee on
agriculture in advocacy of the anti-option
bill. Whitaker said the tendency Of
"short" selling was to depress prices and
interfere with legitimate trade. Farmers,
he said were not compelled to market their
grain instead of storing it, but the ex
perience of tho past eight years taught
them that with this unlimited short selling
the best time for them to sell grain was
when it was harvested. Whitaker said the
wheat reported this year probably averaged
in price 95 cents bushel, and if this pro-
posed law had been in force, he believed it
would havo brought considerably more
than dollar a bushel. He did not think
the law would hurt owners Of grain or ps o.
visions, because if fictitious offerings were
done away with the market would be SUIT
piled with actual grain Or provisions, aud
there being smaller quantity offered,
prices would be better. In his Judgment,
fictitious selling produced an abnorm al
condition of the market, which defeated
the law of supply and demand. He fire.
quently received letters from Europe say
ing the writer's could pay better prices for
meats If the American market would only
bo kept steady.
In reply to number of questions Whit,
taker said that in the last eight or ten years
the speculative business had grown I'M
mensely, and he thought, there were more
sellers than buyers. Asked why it was tina t
when report like Btadstreets or govern
ment reports were given out, showing q
large estimated crop. prices would go down,
he replied: "'rhoy work that on q large
corp, and vice versa" Moses asked: "lf
meat transactions were confined to real
products only could not western packers
form trust, get control of actual products.
and put prices away beyond the reach of
oonsumers? Could not Armour. for i'll
stance with his millions of money, get
control of all or enough wheat to control
the price and send it up to 81 n bushel?"
Whitaker did not believe, in the first place,
that would be good policy. and i'll the
second place, did not believe the oombina-
tlon necessary to success could be formed.

In the course of the address he took occa-

he characterized as Lord Salisbury's "Un-
just references to the Catholic Irish" In
his speech at Exeter on Thursday he pro-
nounced the premier's remarks as disgrace
full and worthy of violent drunken
Orangemen, adding that such an appeal
to tho wicked passion of national hatred
was not only shameful but mischievous on
the part of Il statesman III Lord Salisbury 3

gard to Canada or Australia, those depend

queen unless British claims were supported

WHITE GIRL CAPTIVE.
Captured and Held Prisoner by Two
Indians.

PRESCOTT, A. T.. Feb. "a sensational
report reached here to-day from the valley
to the effect that two Indians passed there
yesterday, going in the direction of San
Carlos. having in captivity white giel l6
years old that they had stolen from near
Flagstaff. Capt. jackson, who brought
word to Prescott, is an old and
reliable citizen of this county. He
states that the girl and her captors stopped
at ranch and the girl was permitted to 90
into the house to get something to eat,
when she told her story, implorng to be
rescued. As there was no one at the house
except boy he could render her no assist
ance, but as they left he gave the alarm to
the neighbors, who organized a posse for
the purpose of pursuit. Officers from Flag
staff reached there SOON afterwards. and it
is thought her rescue would soon be eff
fected.
