Electrical Workers, Committee to
Confer With Telegraph Companies.
The Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers
last night at we'll attended meeting, APP
pointed the following committee to wait
on Superintendent Tree and Hates, of the
Postal and Western Union companies, re-
spectivelT, and request them to employ
white linemen instead Of negroes: S. V.
Warner. y. Stephen. II. a. Doty.
This committee will meet at o'clock
this morning and proceed first to the
Western Union and then to the Postal
office.
The members of the union now say they
do not anticipate any trouble with either
company owing to the fact that the West
ern Union in the States of georgia and
South Carolina recently discharged all
its negro linemen. It was learned on good
authority last night that the superinten-
dent OF construction of the Western Union
is expected here this week, and that he
favors the employment of white labor.
The members hope the conference tolbe
held to-day will avert trouble, but in the
event that they are disappointed. they
will see the superintendent of conStruc-
ton. They will endeavor to show that the
negro, as a telegraph lineman, is fail
ure.
Wach the Western Union employing
white men, the members believe the Pos
tai will follow suit.
The Interna tional Executive Board will
he advised by wire Of the action OF last
nights meeting and Of the results of the
conference with superintendent Tree and
Hates.

ELMONT, VA, November 5.-(Special.)
A few nights ago Mr.. John Boschen came
near being killed by his brother and if he
lad not made himself known as soon as
he did he would have been laid low by a
bullet from a pistol in the hands of his
lSinslnan.
Mr.. John Boschen is boarding here with
his brother Charles and occupies a room
just over that of his brother and his wife.
His duties are such as to require him to
arise early in the morning. a few days
ago he arose earlier than usual and came
down in the diningroom, not making the
least noise.
He went into the pantry to get some
thing to eat. While doing this he made
a noise which awoSe the wife OF Mr..
Charles Boschen. Thinking there were
burglars in the house. she aroused her
husband and he got his pistol and sta
toned himself in such q position that
when the supposed burglar made his exit
he would be able TO get a shot. The
man with the pistol called to his brother
but there was no response. After while
John, hearing the noise, called out, and
his brother recognized his voice.
