LOS ANGELES, CAL. May 18.-Corne.
Illus Curren of Baltimore, a delegate to the
convention of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, is missing, and there are circum-
stances to indicate that he has been
robbed and murdered in this city.
With $500 cash and two watches in his
pocket Curren started on Monday to see
the sights OF the city. leaving his wife and
two young sons at the hotel. He has not
been seen since, though it has been
learned that he visited several haunts in
the shady portions of the city.
He was seen with a man and woman
we'll known to the police. and they have
since fed to San Diego. Another woman
was with him afterward, and she is sup
posed to have relieved him of at least one
watch. 1t is known that he was followed
by pair of wellknown crooks.
Detectives are searching everywhere for
the missing man and are assisted by all
the conductors of the Baltimore delega-
tion. Curren was conductor on the
Kanawha andOhio andwas ply sicalIy able
to take of himself if he we're not drugged,
but the police take it for granted that he
was. His wife and sons are nearly dis
tracted over his disappearance.

land and proposed Jail as the proper place
for HIM. A number of Senators jumped
to their feet in amaZement at this out
break. and there was a scene OF confusion
in a moment, but Quinn kept the floor and
proceeded in violent language to argue on
the question at issue.
The trouble came over bill to prohibit
the employment of other than citizens OF
Massachusetts on public works, which
was ordered to third reading, with
amendments offered providing that citi-
zens OF the United States shall have pref
erence in EN- ployment on public works.
Farley objected TO the bill and was op-
posed to the establishment of Chinese
wall around the State.
Irwin believed that the original bill was
unconstitutional.
Quinn o. Suffolk made a warm speech
in favor of the workingman. He de-
nounced number OF prominent Ameri-
cans, including ex-President Cleveland
and Senator Stephen B. Elkins. He be-
lieved that the former ought to change
places with Bran in Charles-street jail
because of his action at the time of the
Chicago riots in sending Debs to Jail.
Towie offered al amendment providing
that the fine for the violation of the
statute shall be 800 or imprisonment.
The amendments were adopted and the
bill was passed to a third reading. 10 to 5.

CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION.
Order Of Railway Conductors Adjourns II
Meet in Detroit Two Years


LOS ANGELES CAL, May 1s.-The
delegates to the convention of the order
of railway conductors completed their
labors to-day, and most of them have al
ready departed from the city.
The business meeting to-day resulted in
some surprises and was not wholly har.
monious. There was opposition to the
election of certain officials, but not enough
| to have any effect on the result. The
officers chosen were: E. E. Clark, grand
chief conductor; c. II. Wilkins. assistant
grand chief conductor; Martin Clancy,
| grand secretary and treasurer; A. B. Gar
retson, grand senior conductor. Of the
insurance committee w. J. Durbin was
! reelected, and W. H. Budd was elected
as new member. J. E. Archer was
elected to succeed himself as trustee.
The contest between Detroit and st.
Paul for the convention OF 1899 was quite
| close, but the vote decided in favor of the
| former city.
When the subject of the removal OF
eadquarters from Cedar Rapids to either
Chicago or Cleveland came up, it was shown
that the advocates of removal had not the
strength they counted on, even the dele
SdtcS WIZ HOT- sue Sicfttduu pdQRtS
going back on the proposition. The dele
gates who had hoped to procure the re-
mov&l were greatly surprised.
On the third and final reading of amend
ments to the bylaws all were adopted and
the convention ad journed for two years.
The long-delayed Pennsylvania special
arrived this evening after the convention
adjourned. The passengers will remain
hereabouts until Thursday. The second
section of the Chicago special departed for
San Francisco at $3.50 o'clock this even
ing and the st. Louis tram will go north
at ] P. NJ. tomorrow. The grand chief
conductor and grand secretary will re-
M ain for few days to settle up m matters,
and then will follow the delegates to San
Francisco.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, MAY 1S.-Five hun
dred conductors, their wives and families,
came down from Los Angeles this after
noon and enjoyed the freedom of the city
tonight. Tomorrow they will take an
excursion in to old Mexico and another by
the steamer Santa Rosa on the ocean for
two hours, returning north tomorrow

the association have been agitating the
project and interviewing the florists
throughout the county as to the advisa-
bility of giving carnival at this late day.
1t was suggested that one be given and
that it be made distinctively sweet-pea
flower show, as that flower will be in its
