peared. He had silver and gold on his per-
son, and wanted to shake dice for S5 a

several occasions while in saloons he dis
played his money. 1t is supposed that he
was beaten until insenSible la some house
and then carried out into the open air. as a
blanket was neatly tucked under and
around him. His shoes had been taken off
and placed at his feet. A coat much toe
small for the deceased was found near him.
The ggound where he lay bore no evidence
OF struggle, and no weapons could be dis
covered capable of intiicting the wounds in
his head. After being brought to the Sher-
ifs office piece OF the skull was taken off
his brain, but even that did not help him.
A roadtax and polltax receipt dated from
Colusa County, Cal, was discovered In his
pocket with the aforementioned name on
it. Tne Sheriff has been following on sew
eral small clews, but nothing satisfactory

claimed; 1t will be inferred to-day if not

keepers being strong sympathizers with the
union miners their places have been closed
to prevent secret meetings Of the union.
The Poorman and Tiger mines were
worked by union men, who continued to
hold meetings and rendered support to those
who were locked out. General Curtis ac-
cordingly ordered q shutdown in both
mines, and will not allow union men to be
employed at any point in the country, and
will hold the troops here to guard against a
possible outbreak as consequence of such
shutdown. The order directing three COM
panies to proceed to Ceur d'Alene City

this morning bullets have been flying
thickly all over the freight yards, and
rumors OF killing are prevalent all along

1t is also said that one of the dead is a

BUFFALO, Aug 22.-Master Workman
Sweeney of the switchmen's order Is now
asking the heads of all other la )or organ
zations allied with the switchmen in rail-
road work to meet him here. Already Sar-
gent is here and the others are expected to-
morrow and the mex. day. The trend
Of public opinion leads to the conviction
that there will be no concerted abandon
ment of work by the organizations to be
represented in the conference. No confer
ence can possibly occur before Wednesday,
while there is a likelihood that the first
session will not be held before Thursday.
Meantime speculation may be expected as
to whether Swseney will order out the
other switchmen west OF east. or both, or
whether lie will announce officially and
formally the defeat Of his men.
About 30 men who have acted rs switch
men for the Western New York and Penn
sylvauia Railroad this afternoon ceased
work because the men were required to
handle the freight from the Central There
are renewed intimations that the switch
men of the Grand Trunk may add them
selves TO the strikers.
No troops will be withdrawn until the
time shall have made it improbable that
any further attacks upon present switch men
will occur. General Porter said to-day
1.-The troops Will be ordered home as soon
as the situation warrants it,"
The Lake Shore officials report a normal
condition of the freight traffic and they are
moving cars tonight. Full forces are
working everywhere, both night and day,
and the officials are now spending their time
looking for business. The eoalear handlers
employed on the Lehigh trestle on the
water front stopped work this afternoon
and told the yardmaster that they would
not resume until the grievance of the
switchmen had been settled. The men are
not dissatisfied with their own condition.

The FIremen Have Decided Not to Go
ouI.
BUFFALO. Aug. 22-It is believed here
that the frsmen of the local organization
have passed the point where the enthusiasm
of their sympathy might take them out on
a strike. II is not thought now that they
will 90 out independent of the order at
large. During every hour since Friday
nights meeting the fremen, VINO are in a
position to know exactly what the compa-
MES are doing in their freight traffic. have
observed steady increase in the movement
of freight.
1t is said that Sargent to-day informed
Sweeney that, while he assumes the switch
mems cause to be just. and while they have
his sympathy, he will not call an isolated
strike OF fremen in this vicinity. but IL the
time comes when labor must assert itself an d
the other allied orders will come out. he is
willing 10 place his men in the same column.
Briefly, then, the strike. IL il come, must be
one involving the Brotherhood of LocomO-
tive Engineers. the Brotherhood of Railway
TTainmen, the Brotherhood of Railway Con-
ductors and the Brotherhood of Railway
Telegraphers.
Soon after his arrival Sargent met Swee-
ney in conference, after which the AssO-
Grated Press correspondent met the chief of
the nrenen and asked him If he had given
the nltimatum Sin effect that the firem en-
should not be called out except they were
joined by the other labor organizations
allied in railway work?"
That is the situation. and | told Swee-
ney exactly that. Sweeney invited me 10
conference with himself and the executive
officers of the railroad labor unions. Swee-
ney Will place the situation before these
officers and determination will be Jointly
reached as TO whether organized railway
labor shall make this an occasion for
united effort"

FEARS FOR THEIR FATE.
William Converse and His Son May Be Les
IL the Desert

in the Desert.
YUMA. Ariz., Aug. 22.-The many friends
of William K. Converse and his son, Will
lie. are very anxious about them. They left
here Oh May in boat to 60 down the
Colorado to Carter River, aud down that
stream to the Alamo Mucho, thence across
to Indian Wells. to hunt for the white egret,
the bird of pIumage. They took two
months provisions with them. On their
way they stopped at the Algodores Indian
Rancheria to secure an Indian guide to 90
with them. They spent three or four DAYS
there and then went down Carter River.
since which time nothing has been heard
from them. \ number of men have crossed
the desert since that time, but nothing has
been seen of the missing men. Indians and
others who have come up from the Cocopah
country bring no tidings of the lost, and the
death of the Breedlove party has put every-
body on the lookout for Converse. Is is
feared that they went down Carter River
toward Salton until they had gone SO far
they could Eot return, and that their boat
was upset in the rapids, or in going over the
falls. of which there are many; or that
they were caught by the caying banks.
some of which were 100 feet high and were
constantly tumbling into the river. Con-
verse was one of the party that went
through to Salton last year from here. He
was an old trapper, miner and river man,
and had been on the frontier for % years.
His son was 15 years old, small and in poor
health.

THE GERMAN VOTE.
An Address Intended to Make Converts
to the Democratic Party.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-The German
American Cleveland Union has Issued an
address. signed by Carl Schurz, Oswald Ot-
tendorffer, William Steinway, Henry Viii
lard, Louis Windmuller aud Gustav II.
Sehwab, which, after praising Grover Cleye-
land aud giving reasons. urges all German
Americans TO cast their ballots for the
Democratic candidates. Being translated,
the address reads in part, as follows: 'In-
pressed with the unusual Importance OF the
coming Presidential election, we regard Ii
as our duty 10 give YOU oCr reasons for be-
lleying that the welfare of our adopted
country requires the election of Grover
CleYeland aud why ire deserves the votes of
naturalized Germans Above all, we believe
he is thoroughly honest man. which fact
even the most bitter of his enemies do not
dare to dispute. Among his most marked
characteristics are his abundant courage
aud adherence to his convictions. As the
bearer of executive power lie invariably
subordinated party interest 10 the common
welfare.
I'VE need only refer to the frmness with
which, Notwithstanding the strong tendency
OF his party in the South ana far West to
bring about the unlimited coinage of silver,
he unhesitatingly warned them of She
dangers liable from such a policy. HIS
innate sense of duty cannot be better
proven than by the fact that during his
Presidential administration, as we'll as
during his second candidacy, he never was
favorite with machine politicians, whose
aim was their own warfare. It was owing
TO his intelligence and courage that tariff
reform was Inscribed on the banner under
which his whole party was united and led
TO n glorious victory. There Is no doubt
by following the same banner it will win
another victory at the end of the present
campaign.
Therefore we earnestly beseech our
fellow-citiZens to aid us in securing the
election OF Grover Cleveland. We do not
hesitate TO make this appeal 10 our country
men because the platform of the Democratic
party is entirely satisfactory in regard to
