RAILWAY RECEIYERSHIPS.
Union Pacific Employees Now Have No
Contract with the Road.


OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 14.-No assurances of
Receiver Clark that they will not know the
difference are required to keep the Union
Pacific employees in anything approaching a
cheerful frame of mind regarding the ac-
ton in court. General Manager Dickinson
told the engineers committee when it came
to ask him about notifications of the
schedule that 1t had no schedule existing
with the receivers, and he has told others
that 1T was true of all schedules, contracts
or agreements with organized labor The
employees say that they will assume that
hours and pay will remain as they are or
not less until they get an intimation other
wise Then they will call upon the receiv-
ers and learn where they stand. In an in
dinary contracts off.
A representative of the Switchmen's Mu-
tual Aid Association, says the men are at
the mercy of the court, and until some
thing definite is heard from the general
manager they cannot tell what will be the
result of the receivership. ''The wage
by the receivers for several weeks yet,
am informed by parties near the throne,
but ! feel satisfied that when final action
is taken the men will be treated fairly.
OF course, recognize that We are now serv-
ants of the federal court, acting through
the receivers, and | know the power back
of the court, but cannot believe Mr.. Clark
or Mr.. Mink will be parties in any consid-
cradle reduction, because they have the
power to make the reduction. OF course
as soon as consistent a delegation of our
union will call upon Mr.. Clark and aScer-
tain just where we stand in relation to
the company" What action the engineers
will take now that their schedule has been
abrogated is a much rooted question I'm

are in the same haZy condition, and until
affairs assume adifferent shape the Fedora

that the American flag should be provided
for every schoolhouse in the land. That
was the beginning, and the suggestion has
been acted upon in almost every State and

CINCINNATI, Oct. 14.-An application
for the appointment of receivers for the
New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, in con-
junction with the Erie receivers, was ar
gued to-day in the United States Court
in this city. Fne action was instanced by
an apprehension on the part of the New
York, Pennsylvania & Ohio that the prop
erty is being allowed to depreciate in
value, with view of its passing into the
hands of the Erie at a nominal figure.
The defense argues that the New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio. instead of having
been neglected, has been vastly improved,
sl,0OO,0Oo having been expended on II dur
ing the past ten years.

sLATTRRPs CASE.
1t is Not Thought His Troubles
We're Caused by Poison.

The San Francisco Chronicle of
September Dist states that John
Slattery, one Of the soldiers of the
Provisional government at Homo
lulu, who was accidentally poisoned
about five months ago by eating
some timed vegetabIea,was brought
up Oh the steamer Australia yes
terday and sent TO St Mary's hos
pital for treatment. The other
soldiers who we're poisoned fully
recovered, but Slattery has had
trouble with his stomach ever since.
Dr.. Soule, Of the steamer, thinks
that the soldiers troubles are due
to his not receiving proper atten-
ton at the time the symptoms Of
poison manifested themselves and
that the poison has permeated the
system.
An investigation by q reporter Of
this paper last night develops the
fact that between 50 and 100 sol
diers were treated at the time men
toned and that all we're given sub
stantially the same treatment. The
bulk Of them we're ready for duty
within tTenty-four hours and the
remainder within few days. It
Il the opinion Of those at the bar
racks that Slattery's troubles are
not the result Of the poisoning men
toned. If 90, his case proves TO be
an exception 10 al the rest SUCCESS
fully treated at the barracks.
