Buffalo, \. y. May 13.-The meeting
OF The advisory committee of ten. Of
which Bishop Quigley is the chairman.
which was TO have taken place last
night at the bishops residence to con
slider the grain shovelers' strike. was
postponed until 10 o'clock this morn
iEg owing to the illness of two mem
berS or the committee, ex-Congressman
Nahaney and President Mcmahon, OF
tie grain slovelers' union. 1t was
generally expected that plan would
have been formulated by which a
reconciliation between the scoopers and
the Lake Carriers association could be
effected, anu the delay has proved a
Dig disappointment to those who are
working for settlement Of the trouble.
The strikers have steadfastly asserted
that they would not agree to any terms
or concessions made by the employers
except they were accompanied by an
absolute wiping out Of the contract
system. ON good authority it is stated
that the ScOOpers must concede some
thing, and it is not only possible, but
very probable that they will agree to
accept the terms offered by the Lake
Carriers association.

Route

Commencing Sunday, June 18th inst.
the train leaving New Orleans via the
Queen & Crescent Route at 1870 p. IN.

see and Virginia, and for Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, will take on Cafe Dining Car at
Alfalfa, Ala, and carry it 20 Radford,
Va, serving meals a Ia carte.
This a returning will be attached
at Radford and run to Alfalfa.
The hours are very favorable, and
the service Will be first class in every
particular.
The route of the car via Chatts-
nooga and through the Cumberland
and Blude Ridge Mountain region en-
ables the traveller TO view some of the
most beautiful scenery in the country
while enjoying his meals.
The a la carte plan OF dining car
enables the passenger to almost pro-
cure any sort of meal that suits his
fancy, from q cup of coffee and q roll to
an elaborate s%nread, paying only for
what ho Oruers.
This feature Of the Queen & Cres-
cent service will, no doubt, be fully ap-
preciated by the travelling public, and
b q 1t will receive very liberal patron
age cannot be doubted.
The through trains of the V. S. s. P.
and A. 81 V. r.. r. from Shreveport,
Monroe. Vicksburg, jackson, etc.

the train carrying this Dining Car, and
passengers from these places will be

question but that the dead man was the
noted desperate 81 d train rob Ter and
q brother of G. B. Ketchum. Shortly
before Sam Ketchum died he made q
statement in which he said his brother
Tom raj killed, when they held up the

was very reticent and would not give
any Information to the authorities
concerning the rest of the gang.
The body was not taken to Los An

Sheriff Shield said he was glad that
the next sheriff's conve ntion lwould be
held in Ell Paso as he thought it the
ideal place for holding q large gather
ing. Mr. Shield is directly responsible
for this city being selected as the next
meeting place, for during the debate
as to whether Dallas or San Antonio
should be the place, he got up in the
convention, and in q humorous speech,
about chile con arne a hot tama-
les, said hat as these hot things
could be had in Ell Paso it must take
pretty ''warm people" to eat them, and
carried the day for Ell Paso.
