FOR SOUND MONEY.
The Railroad Men Held Another Enthu-
siastic Meeting Last Night.


The Railway Mems Sound Money
club held an enthusiastic meeting
in it's hall on Austin street last
night. The meeting was called to
order by Second Vice-President j.
M. Booth and the minutes Of the
previous meeting were read and
adopted. -..-
Mr.. ]. l.. Burgess, who, it was
announced, would deliver an ad-
dress, was on hand, and being in
troduced, gave a splendid talk on
the financial question. He touched
on all its phases. One point re-
garding the free coinage of silver
which pleased the meeting, was
the question why the silver people
did not propose the govern
ment buying all the bullion and
coming the dollars and getting the
profit, instead of the mine owners,
or the individual owners Of bull
lion.
Mr.. &. NJ. Fries also spoke on the
issue.
The thanks of the club were by
vote rendered Mr.. Burgess for his
kindness in addressing the meet
ing.
Arrangements have been per.
fected for other speakers to address
the meeting from time to time.
Judges w. w. King, q. A. Keller
and Congressman Geo. II. Noonan
have kindly offered to address the
club on the subject.
Another meeting will be held
next Saturday night at 8 80 o'clock
at the same place, to which the
club respectfully invites every body,
regardless Of opinion on the money
question.
The club is growing more popu-
lar every day, and applications fol
membership are being received

A meeting for final arrange
ments will be held this morning.
AT sCHEUERMEYER's.
German Carpenters Union No.
400 will celebrate Labor day to-
morrow Independently of all other
organizations at Scheuermeyer's
Southwestern park. They will
make no display or show whatever,
simply taking the cars when and
wherever desired and proceeding
to their place of celebration. This
union is not affiliated with the
Trades Council, having severed it's
connection with the same, over
some trouble which arose over last
years celebration. One of the ar.
rangement committee stated that
the reason they would not have any
parade or display was that, not be-
ing in with the Trades Council
they did not wish to have it look
as II they were running opposition
to that celebration, and would
therefore go as individuals to their
park. This was also given as the
reason for having stheir posters
and programs printed in Ger
man instead Of English. They
wanted to cause no strife between
themselves and the other unions.
At the park good program of
sports has been arranged among
which is, prize shooting, guessing
at length of iron rod, number of
beans in tumbler, etc. Some very
good prizes are offered for all of
the events. A program of child
rens' sports has also been arranged.
This afternoon building 12x20
feet will be erected in the grounds
for use as a novel museum. 1t will
be filled by the members of the
union with anything of interest
which they wish to exhibit and
the space is about all already al
lotted. Several burlesque exhibit
tions. among which is that of the
X rays, will also be arranged
within this building.
A band will be on hand and
dancing will also be in order. The
following compose the arrange
ment committee: Chas. Willems,
Chas. Werner, Ernest Hundorf,
John Lager and Ed. Hutchen-
reiter.

A COSTLY WRECK.
Four Trains Piled Up Together and Only
 Ono Man Hurt.

KANSAS CrY, Mo, Oct. s-A peculiar accident occurred in the Santa Fe rail- road yards at Argentine, in which four trains were wreck ed, two of them heavily-laden passenger trains, but, strange to say, but one person was hurt. The wreck occurred in a heavy fog. An east-bound freight tram in attempting to enter the yards was stopped on the switch, which refused to work. While stand ing there a special fast freight follow ing failed to see the signal, and 1t crashed into the rear of the train, wrecking the engine and several cars. Passenger train No. 8, due in Kansas City at 6:45 o'clock, shortly afterwards crashed into the rear of the wreck ed special freight, and few moments later, passenger train No. ?, ran into the rear cars of No. s. In all of these wreclSs, outside of general shaking up of passengers only one person, George Slater, a stockman, was hurt His arm was broken and his head bad. ly cut.

Whining Over Alleged Insults by ysps

zueia to England.
 LONDON, Oct. s.-The St. James Ga. zette devotes leading article to dis cussion of the Venezuelan situation, in which the paper insists that no prog ress whatever has been made toward settlement of England's dispute with Venezuela. The paper recites the Ven ezuelan affronts and outrages perpe- trated upon English officials, and con- cludes by saying:
 If such insults and outrages had been addressed to the meanest sister republic in South America there would have been war long ago. Any other European power would not have stood it a week, yet we stand with folded hands and permit one slap in the face to succeed another. We hope most sincerely that the negotiations with the United States will result peacefully, but nothing is to be gained by shutting our eyes and crying peace" where there Is no peace.
 The Gazette adds that Venezuela $ attitude regarding the construction of a railway to the Barima as a viola ton of Venezuelan territory is an insult.

FRANCES GUEST,
Ths Paris Newspapers Stopping Over with
 Homage.

PARIS, Oct. s.-The Paris newspapers devote columns of space to articles on the reception of the czar and are unanimous in declaring that the eth of October will leave indelible memories upon the hearts of French. men and Russians. The homage of the people to the czar, the papers say, was warm. yet full of dignity and self-eonfidence. All of the papers ex- press satisfaction with the speeches made by the czar at Cherbourg and the Elysee palace.
 The Figaro says: "The czar's spon- taneous visits to the presidents of the senate and the chamber of deputies indicates his ma jesty's formal accept anee of the forms and consequences of the republican regime"
 The paper adds: Conclusive words and definite acts have already been ex- changed. and probably they will be completed at Chalous, but they are all ready enough to convince Europe of our union

 pf Georgia for control of the state gov. frnment was brought to an end today Fhen the people of the state voted for governor and other state officers. Tine

 Two years ago Gov. Atkinson beat Pndge Hines 2l, l6l votes. Chairman
 Ilay, of the democratic state commit Zee, believes that the plurality will be pver 30,000. Chairman Cunningham. pl the popnlist state committee, pre- piets the election of his ticket, plac- png the plurality at from 10000 to e5, 0O0
 Chairman Buck of the Republican flate committee gives out the predic- flon that the democratic plurality will De greatly reduced; and may not be any plurality at all
 Chairman Bucks recent circular nrging all loyal repu blicans to vote for Nrlght, the populist candidate, and fut down the democratic plurality, gave the contest in Georgia a national character, which it did not otherwise have.

BRITISH BAD FAITH.
Trying to Make Another Sneak in
 Venezuela.
CHARTER FOR A RAILROAD 10 PARMA
Granted by the Colonial Government h the Face of the Fact that the Ter minus is Within the Terri-
 tory in Dispute.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Advices from venezuela just received at the state de- partment have caused mild sensation Copies of the Demerara papers contain Ing accounts of recent action taken by the colonial government of British Guiana in defiance of the under standing existing between the United States and Great Britain come in the mail One of the papers contains a hve-column account of the granting of franchise for building railroad along the Ktituma river to the Barima gold fields. The road will extend into the territory not only beyond the homburgk line, but even beyond the territory to winch Great Britain has heretofore laid claim on the ground that it was settled by her colonists.
 The account in the Demerara paper states that the franchise was rushed through, not even the time required by the constitution being occupied in it's consideration. Nearly all the apers, some of them government organs, criticise the proceedings adversely and say they fear it will complicate the Venezuelan controversy to no little ex- tent.
 It is expected that the Venezuelan legation will receive official informa- tion about the matter, and will convey it to Secretary Olney. who will dou bt- less without delay call upon Lord Salisbury for an explanation of this viola tion of the understanding now existing between this country and Great Britain. The Barlma gold fields, which the railroad is to be built to reach, are said to be the richest in the world
