OPERATORS MAKE DEMANDS.
Three Roads Likely to Have More or LesS
Trouble With Their Men.

CINCINNATI, o., Nov, Is The differ
ences between the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific railroad and
the telegraphers in its employ are now
in the hands of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers for adjustment, although
at this time the chances of an early
settlement are anything but hattering.
The telegraphers' grievance commit
tee, headed by Deputy Grand Chief
Tobey of Vinton, Ia, held con fer
ence with General Manager Carroll,
but nothing was accomplished He
refuses emphatically to allow the men
more pay. To-day the committee will
have conference with Vice President
Harvey, and in case he makes no con-
cessions they will, as last resort lay
the matter before President FELTON,
Mr. Tobey said: 1--WE will exhaust
every means to amicably adjust mat
tiers, but in case the company will not
meet the demands there is but one
thing to do and that is to call the men
out"
1t is understood that bill of griev-
ance has been presented to the officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio and Big
Four roads. Committees will demand
an answer tomorrow and If it is ia
vorable an ultimatum will be given
that unless they reply within an hour
the men will be called out.

ON TRIAL FoR HeREsY.
The Rev. DIR. Henry p. Smith of Chncin-
natl Faces IIIs Aceusers.


natl Faces HIs Accusers.
CINCINNATI o., Nov. Is the trial
of DR.. Henry Preserved Smith OF Lans
Theological seminary on the charge
OF heresy, began here to-day. lie IS
prepared to make vigorous defence.
He claims that he has not violated the
confession of faith of the church,
nor has he violated his obligation as q
minister of the gospel heinsists also
that he believes that the Bible is the
word OF God and the lnfallible rule Of
faith and practice, but that such belief
does not essentially demand that every
word of the Bible is literally true and
inspired.
The trial is held in the First Presby-
terrain church, the oldest church Or
ganization in the city. 1t is not fair
to say that the trial body, the Cinein-
natl presbytery, has prejudged the
case, but inasmuch us the charges
rest upon papers published BY
the accused, it is more than likely
that the opinion formed by the
members will hardly be greatly modi-
lied by the professors own argument
1t Is fact of some interest that in
this church the Rev. DIR. Lyman
Beecher, father of Henry Ward
Beecher, was brought TO trial
Dr. j. p Scott of Lebanon is the
moderator During the call OF the
roll the Rev. Dr. Smith came in. He
was dressed in black snit and was
carrying a small satchel containing the
manuscript of his defense and other
papers Of reference. The prosecutors
are DIR. McKibben, the Rev Thomas
O. Lowe and Elder d. II. Shields The
morning session was taken up with
settling what members could vote in
making up the verdict At the former
meeting it was decided that only those
could vote who were present at all the
sessions and that the beginning of the
trial should date from the time Prof
Smith began reading his defense, but
the Rev. f. d. Morris being unaVoid
ably deferred in Brooklyn, was by vote
enrolled as present

EMBEzZLER RUSSELL'S DEFAL-
CATION A HUGE ONE.
REPORT OF The ACCOUNTANTS
Tho Fugitive Clerk OF the Lombard In
Vestment Company Of Kansas City a
Flnancier Somewhat on the Ma
pOleonlo Order--He Started In
to Rob as Soon as He Had
a Chance--Lewis' Case.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-. Nov. Edward
P. Moxey and Andrew J. Riley, the
expert accountants who have been
examining the books of the Lombard
Investment company in the interest Of
It's Eastern stockholders, have almost
concluded their work and expect to
leave the city within ten days. In their
researches they have examined the
accounts of Montgomery IL. Lewis and
w. II. l.. Russell, the alleged default
ers, from the time they became con-
nected with the company, but have
only gone back one year In auditing
the general accounts of the company
and examining into the methods pur-
sued in the transaction OF its business.
The experts refuse TO talk regarding
their work, but IL has leaked out that
the stealings Of Russell will approx
mate 100000. For eight years he was
connected with the company and his
peculations date back to the first year
of his employment. He was cool and
methodical IN his operations, and his
methods tend TO show that 1t
was his intention to accumulate
money, not for the purpose of high
and riotous living, but for the
sole object Of becoming rich. He
started out to become wealthy, a nd
with his stealings he purchased moth
ing but gilt edge bonds and securities,
which were capable of easy conversion
into cash, II he took 81, 600 one month
he would help himself to exactly
So, 400 the next, so that the total
amount would be $4,000 This DEM
onstraees that he kept a memorandum
and could tell ut any moment just how
much he was ahead of the company.
Russell is now sojourning in Mexico,
safely out of the reach of American
officers, his offense not being extra
ditable. His wife has been in the city
for some time trying to arrange com
promise with the Lombard In
vestment people, but so far has
not succeeded in her efforts Lewis,
who stole from the company with
Russell, is now languishing penniless
in Mexican Jail and is expected to be
brought back by next Monday to
stand trial. His stealings were insig-
niticant compared with Russell's.
