CUT OUT THE RIvETs.
Santa Fe Makes Charges Against a
Point Richmond Boilermaker.

Advices received from the western di-
vision points of the Santa Fe indicate
that the struggle between the boiler
makers and the company is to be
long one, resulting in a great financial
loss on both sides. One side of the con-
boiler men at Point Richmond, the
western terminus of the road, walked
out is that locomotive sol had been leaking
badly and had been brought in to have
it's f1ues calked. When the foreman or
dered a bOilermaker to do the necessary
work on it, he refused, was discharged
and before the officials scarcely knew
it the whole force had quit. The COM
pany claims that the boilermaker when
asked to make the repairs, ostensibly
obeyed, but later it was found that he
had cut the rivets in the locomotive
boiler making it impossible for it to be
fired up.
General Manager Wells, Assistant Sup
erintendent of Motive Power Nettleton
and Mechanical Superintendent Jough-
ms held conference at San Bernardino
the other day and aside from the con-
lecture that it was for the purpose of
devising some means Of ending the trOu-
BILE, nothing is known about it.
According to the officials here, the
switchmen at Cleburne, about II in
number who went out in sympathy with
the men in the shops, were forced to re-
turn in a few days by the conductors
VINO told them they mad erred IN their
action, that the grievance of the men
in the mechanical department was none
of theirs and that they should go back
to work by O'Clock of last Wednes-
day. Promptly at that hour an engine
steamed down through the yards with
the striking switchmen on it, who at
once found their old places and since
have remained on regular duty. The
shops seem to be running under fairly
good conditions, according to the report
of Superintendent OF Motive Power
Henderson.
Living quarters for the imported men
have been fitted up at the shops in bunk
cars and there has been no trouble with
the strikers. Fred Carson, master me-
chanic, who donned a suit of working
clothes along with Mechanical Superin-
tendent SymOns and cared for the loco
motives left under full steam by the
striking roundhouse employees Sunday
night, was almost overcome by the heat
and excitement resulting from the ex-
ertion and was sick for some time af-
terward. His condition, however, was
not serious. The engines had to be cared
for because they had been fired up to be
used on the trains and in case the
proper quantity of water was not kept
in the boilers, the crown-sheet would be
burned and an explosion would be the
outcome. Mr.. Henderson says there
has been little if any delay to freight
or passenger traffic on all the Gulf lines
as result of the disaffection.

BATHED IN BLOOD.
Santa Fe Engine Killed Four Steers
at One Time.

A few days ago Santa Fe train No
10, the Missouri River Flyer, pulled into
Emporia with her engine as blood
stained as though she had ploughed
through a slaughter PEN
Just as the train was going through
Strong City at the rate of 60 miles an
hour she struck a herd of cattle which
was crossing the track.
The cattle were hurled in every di-
rection and four steers were killed out
right. The blood, flesh and broken
parts were thrown all over the engine,
even on top of the cab and on the
tender. The engineer and fireman said
they each had blood spattered into their
faces. The front part of the engine
was bathed in blood.
The train did not stop. The only
damage done to the engine was the
breaking of a rod in front The crew
did not know to whom the cattle be-
longed.

Deputy Sheriff l. A. Gaddis returned yesterday from Chattanooga. Gadsden. Alabama City. Garden City and other points where he had been hunting for Frank Duncan and the other escaped prisoners. Gaddis had c lively time of 1t one night and has two bullet holes in hls coat as a souvenir of some desper- ado
 Returning from Chattanooga Gaddis learned that three suspicious characters had been seen near the track at Alabama City, and he stopped to make an investi- gation. This was last Wednesday night.
 He secured two vo!untees to go with him. and together they started on a hunt for the men. As they approached the place where the men were the party separated and approached stealthily from opposite directions. One of the three men heard them, however. and giving the alarm started to run, sending a parting shot at Gaddis. As he did so Gaddls fired and the man was seen to stumble as he ran. He recovered himself, however, and made his escape, as did the others, by plungtng into the underbrush which lined the banks of stream. The posse hunt ed for them for some time, but owing to the darkness they were unable to find a trace of them The shot fired at Gaddis went between his arm and his body, max- ing two holes In his coat

ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT
 A TRACE OF DUNCAN

Deputy Gaddis thinks that the man who fired at him was vanHorn, but the people in the locality believe he was Snug Hoffman. the moonshiner who shot and killed United States Deputy Marshal J. N Holsenback near Boaz. One of the three men in the party was negro which would preclude the idea that the party was composed of Duncan, VanHorn and Bullard.
 Chief Deputy Stradford thinks, however, that these three men are in this neigh borhood. The country around Attalla, Alexander City and Garden City Is very mountainous and rugged and man could hide there for weeks without being molested Numerous depredations have recently occurred In this section and 1t Is supposed to be a kind of rendezvous for all sorts of toughs and outlaws. This fact was probably known to Duncan and he and his pals are supposed to nave made their way there. VanHorn IS known to have relatives near Albertsville and this is another fact which caused the belief that the men are in this section of country
 One of the chief objects of Deputy Sheriff Gaddis trip through this country was to notify the authorities that the men were supposed to be in that vicinity and to warn them to keep sharp look out for them.

 "The data that I am gathering" he said. Ifs in explanation of the census of 1890 which was somewhat involved It will show the weekly earnings of diff ferent lines of employees. Some employees are paid by the day, others by the hour, week or month. This will all be based, however, in the forthcoming publication on earnings by the week. This informa- tion is being collected from all parts Of the country. There are other agents at work in different sections and 1t will all be tabuiated and condensed.

 The credentials committee was the first called this forenoon, and the question Of seating delegates from District No. 5 (Pittsburg) was taken up+
 Pat Dolen of District No. moved to seat them, but another delegate moved to stable Doien's motion. and the latter more than carried upon the report of the committee on credentials.
 Pat Dolen contended that the commit tee on credentials had not favored Dis trict No. 5. The district had acted hon. estly and deserved recognition.
 But the convention tood on the ground that local unions that have net paid their dues promptly ought not to be all lowed representation in the convention and refused to act in his favor. The fol- lowing officers were reelected without a contest.

 aIy-Treasurer-W. H. Wilson.
 The convention adopted a resolution appropriating $500 to the national Me- Kinley memorial fund, after a prolonged discussion.
 Delegate Haffey of Alabama spoke in favor of a liberal contribution.
 The committee on officers reports re- commenced all the suggestions made by President Mitchell in his annual address and the convention disposed of them as follows:
 That the national officers be empowered to levy such assessment as might be nec- essary to carry on the strike now on in Hopkins County, Kentucky until that struggle should be won. Referred to a special committee.
 That locals throughout the country peti- ton their representatives In Congress to favor the limitation of the power of Fed eral judges in the issuance of blanket in- functions in times of labor troubles. Adopted.
 That the mine hoisting engineers be or- ganized under the supervision of the United Mine Workers, with separate dis tricts, in keeping with the action of the American Federation of Labor. This was not concurred in by the convention and a motion that the unconditional surren- der" of the engineers be demanded. was passed with vim.
