DEMANDS FOR INCREASE.
Trainmen VIII Want More Pay and
No Short Runs.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 9.-The Ban
ner says that at the meeting between
General Manager Evans and the exec
utive committee of the Louisville and
Nashville trainmen, to be held in
Louisville on the 18th, it is more than
probable that demands will be made
for an increase of 20 per cent more than
the present scale, and for the aboli.
tion of the short dog runs.
Chairman w. D. Thompson, of the
executive committee, says he is not
in position to state what the COM
mittee will decide to ask, and in fact,
no one knows. There are 16 members
of the committees, and their voice at
the meeting was not unanimous. They
may ask for one thing, and they may
ask for another, or they may ask for
nothing Mr. Thompson said very
positively that there will be no rup.
ture between the railroad and the en-
ginemen, and he was sure that Gener-
al Manager Evans will deal rightfully
with the men, whether they say word
Or not. Mr.. Thompson discredited
the report that he had incurred the
i'll will of the committee by saying
there was nothing whatever in the re.
port.
It is understood that at a recent
open meeting Of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers there came near
being a split between the engineers of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis and the Louisville and Nashville
The misunderstanding came about
from a statement which IS said to have
been made to the effect that the Nash.
vile Chattanooga and st. Louis engi.
neers would make similar demands to
those which were contemplated by the
Louisville and Nashville men. provided
the latter were acceded to. That was
not pleasant to the Louisville and
Nashville men, it is said, for the rea.
son that they did not like to run the
risk Of arousing animus against them
selves with the railroad, and then see
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St
Louis men reap the same benefits.
It is further said that the Louisville
and Nashville men replied that should
their demands be granted. and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
demands refused, they would offer nc
assistance in securing the latter.

He Commenced Shooting.
Wells, New, Jan. additional de-
tails have been received here regard
ing the tragedy enacted at the Key

attacked Superintendent Taylor for
the alleged purpose of running him out
town, and which resulted in the death
or wounding of several of the miners
participating.
Since branch of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners was organized few
weeks ago, at Ely, the miners are said
to have taken a decided stand, the
particular object of their attack be-
ing the New York and Nevada COM
pany.
Superintendent John A. Taylor, who
was formerly connected with the Fer
nandino Mining company, of Durango,
Mexico and also with the Union Cop

occasions that he had better leave

Of miners went to Taylor's office and
asked him to go along quietly or they
would be compelled to take him dead
or alive. Traylor endeavored to
argue with the men but Lloyd ordered
his companions to seize the superin-
tendent and bring him along. The
men started for Taylor, who grabbed
a gun and commenced shooting At
the first shot the miners made dash
for the door. The men that were
shot were James Slaggs and Sam John
son, and after the shooting Taylor sur
rendered to the sheriff.
The general sentiment among the
conservative element of Ely is that
Taylor was entirely justified in doing

slocum of Jones County Was Not In
tlmIdated.
Macon, Ca, Jan. Cd. M. Slocum,
one of the most prominent and sue.
cessful planters of Jones county, a
farmer we'll known throughout this
section of the state, had thrilling
and for the time absorbing encounter
with two negro men near Macon on
Thursday.
Among Planter Slocum's possessions
is the Potter plantation, one of the
largest and finest farms in central
Georgia.
For a long time past Mark Childs
and his son, John w. Childs, have
been renting from S1ocum, and few
days ago they we're dispossessed by
the owner, who asserted that he want
ed to use the lands himself next year.
The Childs, father and son, reside
in East Macon. Early this morn
ing, both armed heavily, they start
ed for the Potter plantation to have
it out with Slocum On their way
out they met Slocum, who was COM
ing into the city, in the big road.
There was n halt and conference.
The younger Childs drew his gun,
and for a second it looked as though
blood might flow.
Slocum was not slow, neither was
he in any way intimidated. He sprang
at the pistol owner and overpowering
him, secured the weapon.
The Childs were then at the mercy
of Slocum, who drove them into the
city, where he took out warrants for
their arrest.

nary accuracy in craftsmanship cut
short the heavy gun practice at the
Preside, the government reservation.
The 12inch guns were to be brought
into play and the target was a wooden
structure, pyramidal in shape, about
II feet long at each base line and
about 8 feet high It was towed
oceanward by a tug with long tow
line and while moving at Z miles an
hour was to be fired on. When the
target was about miles from shore
and under tow it appeared to be about
the size of a mans head. It was
then that Corporal Regan fired 12-
inch gun. The shot struck about s
yards astern Of the moving mark. Cor.
poral Regan aimed the second missile
and scarcely had the roar of the dis
charge ceased when the target disap-
peared. The shot has hit ''the ene-
my" amidships and shattered it into
splinters.
