great for the Texans to hold up these

Chicago. Nov. O.--All railroads hav-i
Ing headquarters In Chicago have
given positive assurances to President
HiN. OF the Great Northern railway,
that as far as lies In their power they
viii cooperate with him In defeating
the A. Il. u, strike now threatened
unon his road. This information.
came to-day from the officials Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, the
Burlington, the Illinois Central and
the Chicago l. Eastern Illinois sys-
tens. This support to the Great
Northern is an outgrowth Of the plan
adopted by the general managers OF
the different roads of Chicago when
they were dealing with the strike Of
last wear. Mr.. Hill has engaged an de-
tectiye agency to furnish him with
armed guards and advised the Chica-s
20 railroad managers that his road
would employ any railroad man out OF
work who had not committed an act OF
violence in Chicago or elsewhere
against any road during the strike Of
1894. There are some two thousand
of these men In Chicago at the present
time whose names were on the pay
rolls of roads up to July /, 1894. They
include engineers. firemen, brakemen
and fiagmen. While they have been
blacklisted" for nearly eighteen
months no charge has rested against
them except that they simply quit
work when the strike began. Ycster-
day, these men were being engaged
and furnished transportation to St.
Paul.
St. Paul, Nov. N-Reports from all
along the line show that trains are
running regularly. Many Of the men
ut Devils Lake have returned to work.

Helena, Mont. Nov. 9.-This. was
the day set for the transfer of Eugene
Stanley from the county jail to the
state penitentiary, where he was SELL
fenced to serve the rest of his life for
the murder of Ida Wood, member
Of the demi-nonde, in the police court
room Of this city April %. About 10
O'Clock the jailer raped on the cell
door and called him, but getting no
response, he looked in and saw Stan
ley lying OH his bunk as II dead, and
SO he was a few hours later. It was
found that he had swallowed a big
dose of morphine during the night.
During his trial few weeks before
the doctor had given him morphine in
small amounts for his health, and the
prisoner had held out parts of each
dose for use in case of conviction. He
had told other prisoners that lie. would
never go to the penitentiary, and kept
his word. His right name was L. w.
Daily. His crime was most sensa-
tional one, being committed in a
crowded court room. His victim was
on trial for robbing him of $500 while
he was in her resort.
