st. Louis, May 10.-The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers will begin
their annual convention in this city to-
morrow. The organization has not met
in ST. Louis for over 25 years At the
last convention held here, P. NJ. Arthur
was elected grand chief engineer, which
office he has held ever since.
An important question that will come
I'D in the convention is the ACCESSIBILITY
of establishing a home for disabled and
superannuated engineers. The brother
hood owns a large tract of ground near
Nation, Ill, and it has been proposed
to build the home there. The plan con-
templates the erection of cottages, with
plenty of surrounding land for farming
purposes.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers was organize in 1863 The first
convention was held in May of that
year in Detroit. In August of the same
year another convention was held, and
the organization was perfected. The
first grand chief engineer was w. D.
Robinson, a Michigan Central engineer.
In 1864 Charles Wilson was chosen to
the position, and held it until the St.
Louis convention, when Chief Arthur
was elected.
Six hundred delegates will take part
in the proceedings of the coming gath
ering. Mr.. Arthur was last elected in
1896 and holds over until 1900. A B.
Youngson, T. S. Ingraham and DalOs
Everett are the officers whose terms are
drawing to a close. Only a few of the
officers receive compensation, except
while the convention is in session. The
assets of the brotherhood are about
$780, 900. ST. Louis will not contribute
to the entertainment of the delegates or
visitors, the organization paying its
own expenses. The practice Of SOlic-

PREVENTS FALLING DRAwBARs
B. & o. Perfect a Plan Which Proves
Successful

One of the great troubles that railroad
companies have had to contend with in the
the past with both the old style and the
new couplers was the falling of drawbacks
on the tracks. resulting many times in
disastrous wrecks. A year or two ago
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad adopted a
device to prevent just such occurrences
ger equipment.
The device is quite simple consisting
merely of right-angled steel hook which
is placed Immediately beneath the coupler
on the drawhead. with a horizontal arm
projecting slightly at an angle to the di-
rection of the track. When the draw
head falls the safety hooks not only assist
IN Jamming the drawheads together, but
absolutely prevent their swayiny from
side to side. and thus becoming Olsen
gagged; The steel hook is placed in such
a position that it cannot be damned or
broker broken off in the coupling of cars. In
ceedingly satisfactory and has not failed
in single instance.

Expelled New Yorker Sues the Stock
Exchange.

Exchange.
New York, May 1o.-William Euclid
Young has brought suit against the
New York stock exchange for rein
statement in the exchange and for
100000 damages.
Mr.. Young, who was a member of the
old brokerage firm of E. B. Cuthbert &
Co, was expelled from the exchange
December 80, 1896, on the charge of
"bucket-shopping practices. This trial
was one of the most talked of trials
that was ever conducted by the stock
exchange, and the investigation ex-
tended over a period of two and half
months, a committee of several of the
shrewdest members of the exchange
being appointed to press the charges.
Mr.. Young at the time of the expul-
sion strenuously denied the charges, and
said he would sue the exchange for de-
famation of character and for REIN
statement in the exchange.
President Eames would not discuss
the matter today, but there is said to
be no doubt that the suit will be de-
Tended.

WHAT SHALL THEY DO.
Now Somebody is Needed to Drill the
Captains and That Pretty Quick.

Gen. McCrum issued orders yesterday
to the captains of the different compa-
MES that no officer in company should
attempt to drill his men in movements
that he did not thoroughly understand
himself.
81 have noticed several officers who
have not had any experience, giving
wrong commands" said Gen McCrum.
Some use the old Upton and some the
Dardee tactics, both of which are now
out of use. The United States drill reg
ulations are the only ones to follow,
and officers must know the lessons be-
fore they can teach their companies
