THINK THEY WILL SUCCEED.
Elkhorn Committees Expect Is
Finish Grievance Work Soon

.OAa OssNvUeeOO WYNN 0OOU
Says this mornings World
Herald
Within two or three days the
committee representing the Broth.
erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen of the Elkhorn road
will have finished their work in
this city, as the present rate of
progress indicates. They are
meeting daily with General Su.
perintendent Hughes at head
quarters.
In general they are asking for
q 10 per cent increase in wages,
and pilots on engines running
light. Heretofore it has been the
custom Of the company to send
engines running light with but
the engine crew consisting Of the
engineer and fireman. Now the
engineers and fremen want a con-
ductor also to perform the duties
not properly their own, and to in
crease the safety of running under
such conditions.
In the meantime, the commit
tees representing the Order of
Railroad Conductors, and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men of the Elkhorn, who are in
on the general movement for 20
per cent increase in wages, are
quietly waiting at Drexel for the
engineers and tiremen to get
through; and similar committees
of the Union Pacific are waiting
at the Dellone until President
Burt returns from New York.
Reports received by these COM
mittees from others of the fifty
two committees west of Chicago
bent on the same mission of 20
per cent increase indicate great
dearth of general managers. Ev-
cry committee seems to find the
same conditions as prevailing in
Omaha the men to be seen are
cut Of the city, or extremely busy.
However, all anticipate receiving
the proper attention in good
season.

WILL BREAK UP BAD PRACTICE
Dover Authorities Will Put End >to
Carrying of Concealed
weapons.
Special to the Evening Journal.

Special 10 the Evening journal.
Dover, Aug. 6.-It has been custom
AIRY with certain crowd of young ne
groes who come into Dover from the
country OF evenings TO gather late at
night Just west of the railroad here op-
posite the depot and fire of their re-
VOlvers. Very little attention has here
tofore been paid to this, as the point is
just outside the town limits. But the
shooting of Constable Wright at Clay
ton by the negro Hollis has had its ef-
feet here on public sentiment and a
determined effort is TO be made to
break the custom up, as well as to make
a special effort to arrest every cOlored
man known TO carry a pistol and pun
ish him for it. An illustration of the
feeling that exists was given last night
when a party of young colored men fol-
lowing the usual custom began shoot
ing beyond the depot. Word was sent
up town and In an incredibly short time
a crowd of white men put I'm their ap-
pearance and the shooters vacated i'm
quick order. They were notified that if
the thing occurred again there would
be some shots fired that would not be
aimed in the air.
1t is a well-known fact that in every
section Of this county IL is the custom
for young men and even mere lads
both white and black, to carry revol-
vers. and there is a strong sentiment
growing i'm favor of breaking this habit
up completely. even with wholesale ar
rests on suspicion. so as TO allow a
search.
Fletcher Hollis who shot Constable
Wright is well known here, and the
Dover colored men say that he has been
in several cutting ARRAYS and on one
occasion broke up a religious festival
by promiscuous shooting into the
crowd 'for pure devilment" There
are colored men in Dover who would
gladly help put him behind the bars,
and there is little danger OF his heading
in this direction. as he knows the feel
i-g against him.

Great pay For Farmers

While the Farmers Fairs at Brandy

tracted large crowds and much interest I'm

be larger and additional space will be ar
ranged TO accommodate Il. The large au-
ditorum rs to be devoted exclusively to
the ladies' display and many applications
are already In. The Trustees of the Del
aware College have appropriated a SUBJ
stantlal amount for a proper display. This
In itself Is evidence that the Farmers
Fair is of much benefit to the agricultural
interests of the State.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson will be
present at least one day of the fair and
possibly two. Other prominent speakers
will be on hand, and help to make the fair
a greater success than ever before. Gem
eral Manager Crook, of the Springs. al
ways evinces "a warm interest IN these
annual fairs and he has started in early
