The superintendent Starts to EnVeS-
ttgate the Accused Policemen.
NEW York, June 80, 1s94.-In accordance
with the resolution adopted by the Police
Board yesterday Superintendent Byrnes
day began his investigation of the charges
before che Senate Investigating Committee
against certain members of the police force.
The Superintendent declined to say any
thing regarding the measures he proposed to
take in investigating the charges. Ii was
learned, however, that he will pick out the
officers who have been accused and enaeay,or
to obtain the evidence which was given be-
fore the Senate Committee to form basis
for charges.
Mr.. Byrnes will send for the persons who
made the charges against the police and en-
deavored to get their sworn statements Of
the facts they alleged before the committee.
If the witnesses are forthcoming and are
willing to appear against the officers they
accused, charges will be formulated and the
accused men placed on trial.
About one-third of the commanding Off
GERS Of the department. have been accused
before the committee. The list includes In
spector Williams, Inspector Mclaughlin and
son, Murphy, Doherty, Siebert, Schmitt-
berger, Allaire, Thompson, Reilly, Price,
Killilea, Meakim and Haughey. Twice as
many ward men and patrolmen are involved
Just what success Superintendent Byrnes
will have in his endeavors to collect the
necessary evidence to place the accused
members of the force on trial is a matter
that is exciting some attention The general
opinion is that many of the witnesses who
appeared before the committee will not care
to go to Headquarters and give their evil
dence to be used in bringing charges against
the officers mentioned.
Superintendent Byrnes will exert every
power, however, to make them appear and
tell their stories.
tits understood that the Superintendent
sent for certain witnesses today.

VERY STORMY MEETING.
A Meeting of POO engineers, firemen and
conductors, held at No a Thlrtycnts5
street. last night, was very stormy affair,
and some OF those present told the officers OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
some plain facts 1t was apparent from the
speeches of the engineers themselves that
they We're tired of working with non-unlon
crews, and they said So Larry Burns, the
division chief of the engineers, made a
speech, and when he found that the sentiment
of the men was against him, and fearing that
they would decide to strike, he declared
the meeting ad journed. The men, however,
did not leave the hall They stood around in
little groups discussing the situation, ana
were indignant because of the treatment
which they had received. One of them de-
ciared that 81 per cent. of the men on the
Illinois Central Road wanted to quit, and he
followed this declaration with another to
the effect that they would quit work this
morning. W. E. Burns, an old Brother
hood engineer aud q member OF the Amen-
can Railway Union, appeared on the scene
and addressed the men, and at the conclu-
sion of the second meeting the men said
they would not work day unless
the trains were made up by Union
crews. Four Brotherhood engineer;
met Mr.. Burns at the City Hotel
after the meeting and informed him that
they would not open throttle
today, and that most of the other engineers
would be with them.
WHAT IT ALL COSTS.
Mr.. Egah. Chairman of the General
Managers Executive Committee, was asked
if he would place an estimate on the loss
being occasioned to Chicago railroads by
the boycott. Mr.. Egan, after some reAec-
ton, said:-"I would not say that $3.50, 000 a
day would be too large" This statement
means that the American Railway Union
has already cost the country over 81, coo, 900,
not counting the vast loss in wages suffered
by the strikers. 1t is estimated the Illinois
Central Railroad is losing $4,000 daily.
The company has been compelled to refuse
perishable freights to and from all points
north of Cairo. Hundreds Of cars filed
with bananas, pineapples and other perish
able fruit are stalled on the Illinois Central
tracks in and about Chicago. Five cars of
hogs, which were killed from heat and the
lack of water, were removed yesterday. The
financial damage to the Illinois Central IS
cumulative, as the system is one Of the main
feeders of the Southern fruit district, and It's
loss from failure to execute contracts will be
enormous.

streyed if the nails are allowed to grow in
points beyond the finger tips. There Is no
