Quite a sensation occurred at tho

his wife and son, 10 hold
a revival In the interest Of their church.
The Rev. Mr. Lincoln expounds the
holy scriptures while his son and wife
aid him In the singing. In due timo
they arrived and started the meeting
under very favorable auspices, The
Rev. Mr.. Lincoln, however, IL
seemed, wearied his congregation by
preaching sermons lengthy in the OK
IRENE, causing interest to decrease.
some OF iho bre, res 9 him 10 cut

him. so az the beginning Of his sermon
of last night he stated that some
had dictated 10 him as To
how long he should preach
and regarding which he wished TO say
that he had been conducting REVEALS
successfully for many years and that
he az least thought that no could run
this one, This did not at all please
the pastor In charge OF
the church nor his flock, so
they did not manifest any
interest in the sermon. At the concu-

had asked the pastor and elders OF that
church for the last time 10 90 down

Train Crews Lying Idle.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. l7.-As a
result of the Santa Fe telegrapher,s
strike twelve operators here are out
and many trains are tied up. The
operators struck work promptly on re-
ceipt of Chief Ramsay's order. doing no
company business except that neoes-
sary to get moving trains to switching
places. That done, they declined 10
touch key for the purpose Of dispatch
ing trains. At 1880 o'clock, for all
practical purposes the lines Of the Santa
Fe were as dead as though every one
was grounded.
The men are not inclined to talk but
seemed to think it would be only a mat
ter Of a few hours before the road
would yield and they would be ordered
back again. The operators and train
dispatchers at Argentine quit as
promptly upon Its receipt as did those
in Kansas City, and things at the Santa
Fe yards there are In nice tangle,
Fifty train crews are lying idle, not be-
ing able to take out train because
they can get no orders. The Western
Union Telegraph company suffers from
the strike as well as the Santa Fe as It
cannot send messages to any
point on the Santa Fe sys-
TEN from Chicago TO San Francisco,
except to the larger towns where the
company has uptown offices. The men
could not have chosen a better time tC
inaugurate tie-up. The Santa Fe
system, from one end to the other, is
just now doing q heavy freight bust
ness. All through the great grain
regions of the West It has more bust.
ness than it can well look after and il
havinga hard time toprevent bloclSades
The Eastern part Of the system had
contracted for heavy passenger bust
ness to Chicago, moreover, on accoun
OF the Worlds fair dedication, which
it is expected will move tonight or TO
morrow

whseIer-rhe Unexpected Happens.
GALVESTON, TEX, Oct 17.-ISpec.
ial. New phases have been devel-
oped in the te.egraphers strike Of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe system.
Both the railway company and the
strikers stand pat on the positions as
sumed last night and no efforts have
been made by either looking toward
settlement. The committee who are
managing the affairs of telegraphers
say that they gave the management of
the company their ultimatum yesterday
and will stand firm by it, confident that
they will win the fight. The manage
ment OF the company is equally as
confident OF success In brief inter-
view with General Manager Wheeler
tonight, he stated that all men mem
bers Of the order OF Railway Telegraph
ers on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe
system, had gone out in obedience to
order issued by G. b. Clark, chairman
of the grievance committee, APP
proved by Grand Chief Ramsey.
That owhile the walk-out had put the
company TO considerable Inconvenience,
their trains were arriving and depart
ing on schedule time and Geographic
communication had been re-established
Il, all important stations on the sys-
dE Pin the substitution of telegraph
II. Wo. employ OF the company who
10y. members OF the Order OF Rail
" egraphers and that that outlook
for b. company was much brighter
tonight than itrwas this morning and
he felt confident it would stead
lily improve. He did believe
n4,,fIr, t
and Santa Fe would involve the
entire system Of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe system, unless the Order
of railway photographers acted In bad
fnith, and he did not believe they would
do that, as they had recently entered
into an agreement as TO scale OF
wages on the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe system, and II would be u
plain violation of the terms of that
agreement for the members OF the
order TO strike in sympathy with their
brethren who had grievance with the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe. AS TO
the action Of the telegraphers ON the
Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe, he
said:
"They had acted upon their own
volition and had severed their connec-
ton with the company which had
nothing more to do with them. The
train dispatchers who are under con-
| tract with the company are standing
by it loyalty, and our trains are moving
on time and nothing is lacking but
Geographic facilities, and these are
being improved. All in all, our con.
dition is improving hourly and we an
ticipate no serious delay in our traffic
by the strike Of the telegraphers."

Barber summarlly Bounced by order Of
Ransey.

TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. 17.-The groa :
strike OF the telegrapners,o of theSantaFe
system Is all the result Of hoax. Tho
operators were informed by Chief
Ramsey Of their order, at 0 o'clock to-
night that tho order directing them TO
strike was forgery and instructing
them toreturn at once 10 their posts OF
duty.
Operator Barber, OF Dodge City,
Kan, after reading the accounts In this
mornings paper, Of the strike on the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Flo divisions
OF the santa Fe system, thought he
would play joke upon tho manager Of
the Office. He wrote the following mes
sage, and after igning Chief Ramsey's
name TO II laid T. on Manager Sweets
desk. IL is:
In view Of the fact that the Gulf, Colo.
RADIO and Santa he Is controlled by the
Santa Fc road therefore declare a strike
on the entire Santa Fe system, 10 take
effect al 1 O'Clock, October ~. Sec that
there Is no telegraphlng done, no tickets
sold and nothing done 70 in1ure our cause.
See the company's property cared for until
you arc regularly relieved.
Manager Sweet after reading II, i'm
medlately repeated The message 70 tho
naxt station, and within ffteeu minutes
II had been received by every operator
al every station on the entire system.
Fifteen minutes later every operator on
duty had stopped work. The operation
or the road was completely blocked and
Dispatcher Barber's joke was complete.
IL was o mighty serious business for tho
Santa Fe road. For twelve hours busi-
ness was at q sthndstill, and an i'm.
mense amount Of traffic lost Or
ders were sent out and no freight
was received during the entire day.
The entire system was practically NJ n
standstill The loss 10 the company Is
very great, while the benefit 10 tbo OPP
orators Is In showing the perfect man
ner In which they organized, and In
demonstrating that they were In good
condition 70 eniorce their demands.
