RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES.
olney Recognizes Their Privilege to
Join Labor ORGANIZATIONS.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. S.-The contro-
versy between the receivers Of the Read
ing Railroad Company, and such of its en-
ployes as are members of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, has prompted an
expression Of opinion from Attorney Cen
eral Olney, in the form of a letter to Judge
Dallas Of the United States circuit court
before whom the case is pending The
difficulty between the two organizations
reached acrss on Aug. IS, last, when Cen
Supt. Sweigard summoned before him
eleven employees and notified them that
they should abandon the brotherhood as
condition Of retaining their place with the
railroad company. Vigorous protests
were made against this alternative and
the brotherhood urged the receivers to
withdraw 1t, but in answer, the receivers
on Sept. II wrote: Tho policy of this
company is well known to be that 1t will
not consent that persons in it's service
shall owe allegiance to other organizations
which may make claims upon them which
are incompatible with the duties to their
employers. This position was taken ad-
visedly, and we have no intention Of de-
parting from it."
Attorney General Olneys letter is an ex-
haustlve discussion of the questions pre-
sented and he reviews the various prob
lens ana the consistent solutions to be
applied. in every respect.
In substance, he holds that labor unor-
ganized is practically powerless, that in
combinations such as this lies the only
safeguard Of the workingman in his deal
ings with organized capital; and that his
right TO belong to such union-benefcial
in intent and purpose-is a legal right
which he cannot be deprived Of
The motive and object of the latter are
stated in the opening paragraph, as fol-
lows: Suggestions respecting questions
raised by the petitions Of Hicks, Riley and
other members Of the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen. The tendency of
this petition having been incidentally
brought to my attention. the issues raised
impressed me as Of great gravity and
importance, not only as between the par
ties Immediately concerned. but as re-
CARDS the country at large. In that view
in which / could not doubt the court
would share--it seemed to me that the
court would not object to a brief discus
sion Of the case from a public point Of
view merely, and uninfiuenced by the
wishes and interests of the particular lIti-
CANT before It. Upon this suggestion be-
ing made to the court II was at once
cordially assented to. The considera-
tons therefore are submitted by me as
amicus curiae merely, and by express
leave Of the court.

as brief as the first dive, without a fish.

phatic signal by jerking his thumb back

He cuifed it several times on the head and

thought the poor birds life was surely
crushed out, but it wasn't The disgraced
cormorant rose coolly to its feet and
limped sullenly away to where the first
cormorant stood, strong and proud in
its masters love and approval. The first
cormorant manifested unmistakable de-
light at the discontinue of its compan-
ion, but the birds at the other end of the
raft paid no attention to what had been
going on. They saw nothing but the
movements of their master.
After another Contemplative squat on
the raft before the still unused corno-
rants, the Chinaman extended both hands
and took a bird on each. His caresses
were fondly returned by each of these
cormorants, and early in their work I
discovered that they were rivals and COM
petitOrs in fishing. and that they plainly
felt the Importance of the result of their
competition in the estimation of their
master. When they were placed sdo by
side on the edge OF tho raft they eyed
each other jealously, and when the sig
nal was given both cut the water and dis

one OF them came to the surface. 1t had a

bird to the float The two reached the
goal together. and IT was practically de-
clared a draw game by the Chinaman,
for he treated them both alike.
"On the second trial the two birds came
to the surface almost together. after a
very long stay. One had no fish When
the unsuccessful one saw it's rival moving
toward the raft with fish in it's mouth,
it became wild with rage. 1t thrashed
about in the water. seized the other cor
morants fish and attempted to take II
away, but at shout and signal from It's
master il quickly relinquished its hold.
It's competitor swan to the raft and proud
ly deposited its catch at the Chinaman s
feet and received his caresses, while the
other swan frantically about, waiting
for a signal to dive again This the China
man did not give until the successful
bird was ready. Both went down together
and this time the result was reversed
The unsuccessful cormorant of the pre-
vious trial was now the successful one
and the other was under the ban.
In this way the Chinaman continued
fishing with his birds for hours, and when
he ceased he had his basket, which would
hold half IA bushel, heaped with fish from
eight inches to a foot in length. 1ney

FATAL ROW OVER POLITICS.
One Man Dies From Bullet Wound
and Another Fatally Cut.

and Another Fatally Cut.
Lexington, Nov. S.-A bloody political
tragedy occurred in Lexington this after
noon at o'clock, when John Trainor
marshal of Athens, KY, cut Lew Sharp,
probably fatally, and shot Ike David
son to death. Sharp and Trainor were both
democrats, Sharp being an Owen man
and TrainOr a Breckenridge supporter.
They met in front of the Leland hotel
Sharp accused Trainor of having voted
for Denny, the republican. Trainor denied
it, when Sharp called him a id liar
Trainor struck Sharp, who is badly Grip
pied as the result of having been shot in
the knee during the war. The blow
knocked Sharp to the sidewalk, and be-
fore he could get up Trainor drew a
knife and began cutting the old soldier
Pat Toomey, a young friend of Sharp,
rushed to his assistance and knocked
Trainor down. Ike Davidson jumped in
and tried to separate the men.
Trainor scrambled to his feet, and appar-
emily trying to get away went down the
street with two pistols in his hands. The
marshal turned and fired, the bullet strik-
ing Davidson in the stomach. He died in
an hour Sharp was taken to the hospital
where he is suffering greatly and it is more
than likely that he will die.
Trainor was locked up. Davidson was a
well known distiller.
The origin of the bad feeling between
the men dates back some time. On cleo
ton day, John Green who was Marshal
Trainors deputy shot and fatally wounded
George Toomey, a brother of the man who
took part in to-day's affray. Pat Toomey,
Sharpe and Davidson came to town this af-
ternoon 10 have Trainor arrested as an
accessory to the shooting of Toomey as
the latter is likely to die before morning
Trainor had been arrested and released on
bond when Sharp met him in front Of
the hotel.
There is already a great deal of bad
blood between the Owen and Breckenridge
men here and it is Jared that this will not
be the last of the trouble. Green, who
shot Toomey, was a Breckenridge man and
Tpomey an Owen follower. Sharp is
closely related to Stephen G. Sharp, ex-
treasurer of Kentucky.

ALABAMA GREAT SOUTHERN.

Judge Pardee and the Election of a
Board of Directors.
New Orleans, La. Nov. S.-Judge Par
dee to day dissolved the restraining or
der in the Alabama Great Southern rail-
way case, which plays an important part
in the election of directors by that rail-
road, holding that the court could not be
invoked until the usual methods of re-
lief had been exhausted and the action of
the full board of directors had been So
hcited.
The ground on which it is asked is that
the laws of this state require persons to
be stockholders in a company before they
can become officers. A temporary injunc-
ton was granted and the defendants order
ed to keep hands off the Alabama Great
Southern road. They claim to be legal di-
rectors Of the road. An injunction similar

LAW FOILED By LYNCHERS.
Citizens Of Jasper County Hang a
Negro Already Sentenced.

Nov. 80 the Date Fixed fer the Exeeu-
ton by the Court-The Mob seizes the
Prisoner in Broad Daylight Soon
After Sentence Had Been Passed-The
Negro Horribly Mutilated Before Be-
ing Hung and Riddled With Bullets
Afterward.
Macon, Ga, New. S.-Lee Lawrence, a
negro, was taken out of the court house
at Monticello this Afternoon at : o'clock
and after being mutilated in an unmen-
tionable manner was lynehed by mob
composed of 500 citizens of Jasper county.
Lawrence was tried in Jasper superior
court to-day for assaultins Mrs. Polk, a
white woman. The trial was short and
in a few hours after it began he had been
found guilty by the jury and Judge Jen-
kins sentenced him to hang on Nov. 30.
During the trial intense excitement pre-
vailed and Immediately after sentence
was passed, the mob took Lawrence from
the court house. The first act of the
mob was to mutilate Lawrence. Then he
was carried one mile from town and
hanged. Over 500, bullets were fired into
his body. He was left swinging TO
limb, and reports from Monticello to-
night say that the body will be taken
down and burned tonight.
Judge Jenkins did all in his power to
prevent the lynching. He telegraphed
the situation to Gov. Atkinson, who tele-
graphed Col. Wylly commander of the
Second Georgia regiment, at Macon, to
hold the military in readiness and sub
ject to Judge jenkins orders. ImmedI-
ately following the governors telegram
came one from Judge Jenkins to send
military as quick as possible. Col Wyl-
ley gave orders to Capt. Carnes of the
Macon Volunteers and in thirty-t1ve min
utes after the telegram was received
thirY-fve men in uniform stood at at
tention with filed cartridge belts, in the
armory. In fifty minutes seventy men
stood ready to go at command. In the
meantime a Macon and Northern special
train stood ready to carry the soldiers.
In one hour after the first telegram an
other came from Judge Jenkins saying it
would be of no use to come, as the negro
had been lynched.
Reports from Monticello tonight say the
utmost excitement prevails. The streets
are filled with armed men and any move
ment on the part of the negroes will pre-
cipitate a riot. The men who participated
in the lynching were not masked and some
of the leading citizens of Jasper county
were in the crowd.
Lawrence was captured at JonesbOro last
Thursday and brought to Macon, where he
was confined in Jail until this morning
when the sheriff of Jasper county came for
him and took him to Monticello on an
early train.
Lawrence's crime was a very aggravated
one, as he subjected his victim to name
less indignities and stabbed her because
he said she was not submissive.

.ba turf men have begun to lose heart.
A. first they did not regard the amend

the consensus of opinion of the men iden-
,i6ed with racing in this state that the

way around it.

hard blow to the breeder, farmer and
merchant alike TO drive such big in
dustry into the western states and abroad
for a number of men have signifed their
intention of racing in Europe in the
event of the bill passing.
At the various uptown resorts the book
makers who had arrived from the defunct
Narragansett associations meeting were
of the opinion that racing in the east was
a thing Of the past. They for the most
mart poohpooed the English credit system.
The small bookmaker has not much faith
in mankind. He would not trust his near
est relative. He has got to leave this state
under the new order OF things. Only the
big and reliable boOkmakers can exist un-
der the credit methods used in England.
This fact has caused the biggest pencil
Iers to take quite a hopeful view of the sit
nation. John A. Morris has said that he
would not open Morris park next season.
r. J. Dwyer said before election that in
the event of the anti-gambling amendment
passing he would not open Gravesend.
Now that it has passed he says that if he
can see his way to paying expenses he will
race at Grayesend next season.
The Coney Island Jockey club will race
as usual at Sheepshead Bay if racing can
be conducted without violating the law.
Brighton Beach, NIaspeth and AQueduct
park are booked to remain closed. Some
of the more hopeful TURTLES are casting
their eyes longingly towards New Jersey.
They have not lost all hope of getting a
law passed that will permit racing in that
state.
