ORDER OF TELEoRAPHERs.
Threatened IInpen eminent OF the Chief Of
flcIals for Mnlfensnnce.

Threatened IInpen eminent of the Chief Or
fcials for Mnifeasance.
OMAHA, July 25.--One of the greatest
sensations in national labor circles. and
one which will directly or indirectly
affect every railroad telegrapher in the
country, came to light yesterday in the
disclosure of the fact that Omaha di-
vision of the Order Of Railway Tele-
graphers fled charges to impeach Grand
Chief ID. q. Ramsay, Grand Editor a.
D. Thurston and Grand Executive Com
mitteeman George c. Leggett. The
charges were prepared after an ex-
haustive investigation, the division
having sent n member, Carl Smith, to
bthe headquarters at Vinton, Ia. to in
auire into the situation, ugly rumors
having been circulated at the last con-
vention at Toronto.
The result of the inquiry was that
charges were filed by Grand Commit
teeman Il. F. Roche, Of Chicago, on
complaint of Omaha division, the
charges presenting thirty-six specifica-
tions, charging Ramsay with incompe-
tency, dishonesty, seduction and all
sorts of offenses.
The order was instituted eight years
ago at Cedar Rapids, Ia, by A. ID.
Thurston as non-striking organiza-
ton. For six years its growth was
steady until it numbered $4,000 MEM
bers, when it blossomed into strike
organization, with Thurston as grand
chief and Ramsay, then an East st.
Louis lawyer, rs assistant grand chief.
A few months afterward the executive
committee, of which Ramsay was chair
man, made Thurston editor of its pa
per, and Ramsay succeeded to the
grand chieftaincy, and ut the next con-
vention, held in Chattanooga in 1892,
this arrangement was continued.
A special tax had been ordered for
strike fund, the understanding being
that as soon as this fund reached $780,
900 the tax should cease. 1t came dam
gerously near reaching this figure sew
eral times. for the order numbers near
ly $4,000 operators. The grand chief,
1t is said, was equal to the occasion,
and although s51, 1886 was paid into
this fund last year at Toronto, but 81
OO4.91 was shown to be on hand.
The Rock Island strike had wiped
out s6,950.6S, the Central Georgia
strike ss.011.46, the b., c. r., & N.
strike sl1, 47G.s0 and the Gulf trouble
s1,O71.O6. At Toronto, Ramsey and
Thurston were reelected, but the
Omaha division was not satisfied and it
started in to fight the two leaders
One Of the ablest lawyers in Omaha
was engaged, and to-day it was learned
that the charges had been carried to
| the grand executive committee.

A Distinction With a Difference.

A Distinction With a Difference.
In the course of trial before Justice
Kincaid yesterday there occurred an
instance of distinction with differ
ence. Suit was brought to recover
from corporation on an order from a
member of the corporation concerning
whose authority to issue the order there
was difference of opinion. The cor
poration was represented by Judge
Street and the defendant by Judge
Lighthizer. The defendant showed by
ingenious reasoning that while no doubt
existed as to moral strength of the
plaintiffs claim the company had not
been made responsible by legal proce-
dure. The judge was accused by the
opposing counsel of having resorted to
legal technicalities and declared ::
This is court of justice" ''It is a
court of law" retorted Judge Street.
whereupon bystanders who had never
thought of it before opened their eyes
and inquired of themselves, Where's
the difference.

THE ROPING CONTEST.
Doc GoOdin Holds the Cham
pionShip.
On Account of Unfavorable Condi-
tons His Previous Record
Was Not Approached.

To a majority of the large crowd OF
spectators who witnessed the steer
tying contest at the fair grounds yester-
day afternoon the entire performance
was new, to all it was extremely inter
esting and at times intensely exciting.
1t seems almost incredible that man
can start at the dropping of flag sig
nal after wild steer which is 100
yards away and going at full tilt, and
in less than minute by the watch,
overtake the creature, cast the RATA
oyer its horns, yank its feet from un-
der by the rope and dismounting, tie
the lin bs together in such a manner as
to leave it helpless and scarcely able to
move.
Though neither of the contestants
performed the feat in SO short space
of time as that yesterday, each has
done it before frequently and each
m anlfested clearly that he was capable
under favorable conditions and unim-
peded by accidents, of doing it in con-
siderably less than minute.
The steer-tying contest and the $3.50
stake were captured by Doc Goodin.
At one time it locked as if ne would be
defeated and the pools which before
the contest were selling at $3.50 to 81
in his favor, were 81 to 81 against him.
just where Stewart Knight ought have
won the contest and money by single
successful throw and lucky twist, he
failed and consumed over four minutes
in throwing the steer.
Goodin threw the first steer il
2:121a. 1t was after a plucky battle
out OF which the steer came minus ONT
horn and the doc" with broker
RATA and his pretty pink shirt covered
front and back, with the dirt and dps
in which he had been dragged at th(
end of the rope by the escaping ami
NAL. He threw the second in the bes
time of the day, l :04, and the third ii
$50.
Knight won the first trial, throwing
and tying his first steer in 1861, but
lost the two succeeding, throwing thu
second in :3S15 and the third in 3 80
Goodin also showed himself to be tn,

board of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers are in the city today and have
held one secret session. What they are
here for nobody has aS yet been able to
find out, although rumOrS are plenty.
The most general and reasonable sur
mise is that they are to settle the
question of general strike on the Lake
Shore III case their demand for the rein
statement of the eight strikers tred In
the United States court few weeks
ago is refused. The men refuse aDso-
lutely to throw any light on the sig
nificance of their presence i'll Toledo,
and general orders have been issued to
every member of the board not TO give
out particle of information. No
attempt has been made to confer
with the railroad officials, who are also
ignorant of the real cause of the gath
ering. 1t is admitted on all sides, now
ever, that the meeting Is only the De-
ginning of a general campaign of de
fenSe or attack upon the railroads, and
it is more than likely that 1t
the Lake Shore refuses to reInstate the
strikers. they will have any amount of
trouble with the brotherhood. The
Ann Arbor men have also had confer
ence with Manager Ashley, with view
to securing the return of the Ann
Arbor strikers to the service OF the
road, but Mr.. Ashley has refused posi-
lively to take them back save under the
old proviso that they present their ap-
plications in the regular way and allow
the officials to act upon them as they
see fit
