THE MEN.
GREAT NORTHERN ARBITRATION
COMMITTEES AGAIN ACTS,

interpreting tho Disputed Clause In the
Agreement Between Mr. Hill and the
Mea-Demands If Employees Granted
and Old Men to Bo Reinstnted Unleas
Proven Guilty of Some Misdemeanor.
ST. PAUL, May 15.-The arbitration
committee of st. Paul and Minneapolis
business men who were instrumental In
settling the strike on the Great North
ern held lengthy meeting yesterday
and handed in report which practi-
cally coRcedes every demand of the
men. In relation to the discharge OF
employees connected with the former
strike the committee report says:
AS to article g. it was agreed between
Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Debs that all the en-
ployes of the company might return to
their proper employment without pre-
judice for having taken part in the
strike, except these men who bad mali
ciously injured OF destroyed the COM
pany's property, or were III the hands OF
the law; as no other exceptions were
made, this committee is of opinion that
the men who abandoned their trains
between stations, as claimed, however
reprehensible such conduct may have
been, have a right to lie restored to the
Employment of the Company
under the terms of the agreement. The
committees Interpretation Of the mean
ing Of the term, "Those in the hands Of
the law" was, and now is, that the men
now in the hands of the law, if found
guilty, should not lie employed by the
company in the future, but pending the
determination of their cases they should
not be excluded from employment by
the company because of the charges
brought against them.
In connection with this matter, we
wish to refer to the mutual agreement
and understanding, in a broad sense,
between Mr.. Debs, as representing the
employees of the Great Northern road,
aud Mr.. Hill for the company, that, as
the business of the company warrants,
all the old employees of the Great North
ern road would return in good faith and
give to the company their best efforts in
the discharge of their duties. The
Great Northern, on the other hand,
should not employ any new men so long
as there are sufficient numler of their
old employees to properly conduct the
business of the company.
The report is signed by B. F. Nelsee,
Richards Gordon, T. g. Winston, T. L.
James T. Wyman, Charles
P. Noyes, George R. Finch, D. H. |
afoon and Frank r. Hubachek.
President Hill OF the Great Northern
and committee of the employees were
present at the rooms of the jobbers'
union during the session of the commit |
tee and were called On to explain their
construction Of the agreement.

his famous trotter attached to a light rig
when he was accosted near Sixth and
Quincy by Deacon Henry Blackman, who

horse that was little slow for him and
he wanted faster one. Williams horse
looked about right and the deacon con-
cluded he couldn't do better than to i'm
prove the opportunity in sight Williams

bystanders held the animal up the deacon
hitched him to his cart. When he had
the arrangements all complete he yelled,

soon vanishing In the distance behind

The horse groaned one terrible groan
and lay right down on the cold and
clammy pavement II took Blackman
three seconds to grab his former prop

couldn't agree to that and there was a
good deal Of loud talk in the air when
officer Campbell arrived on the scene
and toek them both to the strtiou.
The story was told in court this morn

The sword of Wolfe.

Canada IS congratulating herself upon
having secured a relic of the glorious
opening page in her history as a British
colony-namely, the sword Worn by
General Wolfe at the capture Of Que
bee in 1859. For nearly century the
sword lay few feet under the ground
y. the heights of AbrahaT.I, where
Wolfe fell InortalIy wounded, and even
tually found its way into the hands of a
Toronto gentleman. Major Dunn, who
used it in the charge of Balaklava. 1t
has now been purchased in London from
Major Dunn's descendants by the Hon.
J. 3. Patterson. Canadian minister Of
militia, in his private capacity, togeth-
er with the medals which Major Dunn
received for his services in the Crimea
and elsewhere 1t is significant of q
change which times have brought Ia the
relations between the French and Eng
Iish Oh the North American continent
that French Canadian papers such as La
Minerve of Montreal are asking that the
sword may be placed with honor in the
dominion parliament at Ottawa, which
English journals are reciprocating with
the wish that the sword of the gallant
French commander, Montcalm, should
now be sought for and placed in the
same casket as the sword of General
W Olfe to empb asize the union OF two
races under one flag. London Chroni-

New Omcers OF the Orphans Home VIII
be Elected This Afternoon
A meeting of the directors is being
held at the Orphans home this afternoon
TO act definitely on the designations Of
Fs W. p Douthitt, president; Mrs.
Geo. w. Reed, secretary; Mrs d. L
LakIn, second vice president; Mrs. ]. E
MInney, Mrs. d. 3. Lauck, all Of the
trustees and the members of important
committees and of Natrop Mis-. Ella
Cooper, all of which were handed in on
August goth. At a meeting Of Septem-
Der ord. the trustees decided not to ac-
cept the designations and the ladies who
had attempted to resign Immediately an
nounced their intention of Withdrawing
from the association.
At meeting this afternoon an effort
VIII be made to adjust the unpleasant
ness amlcably, by formally accepting the
designations rendered and electing new
officers to take their places. II is un-
derstood that no one has yet been fonnd
to take the place of matron, however. a
prominent member of the association
told JOURNAL reporter today that the
recent disagreement dated from the first
preparations of the kirmiss given at the
Grand opera house, in which Prof. Dun
can OF Kansas City was employed Some
of the combatant spirits claim that Mrs.
own hands without consulting the
board, had been done on
former occasions of the kind. They were
also dissatisfied because the professor
took two-thirds of the proceeds and left
the orphans only one. This, they think,
was not treating the orphans right and
there was more or less feeling expressed
about the matter at the time.
1t is admitted that children have been
taken into the home who were not or
phans. but in eac instance the children
were without homes, either by the de-
sertiOn of the parents or otherwise.
embers of the association deny that
there has been an out and out quarrel
but admit some unpleasantness although
surprise is expressed at the resigna-
tions.
1t is thought that at the meeting this
afternoon, Mrs. James P. Howe. who is
now first vice president, will be made
president: that Mrs. Howell Jones viii
be made first vice president: that Mrs
J. Is. Hibben will be made second vice
president and Mrs. Clarkson will be
secretary.
