Of two other railroad employees.
Foote, about five years ago, was thrown

gled that amputation above the ankle
was necessary.
When he was able 10 be about again
he procured an artificial foot and was
made a gateman at the Union station.
At 445 o'clock yesterday afternoon he
opened the gate near the baggage de-
partment to allow truck to be drawn

Foote observed a switching engine with
a freight train approaching from the
West yard
Realizing that they would be run down
he FASTENED TO warn them OF their peril.
They stepped back 10 the platform. but
Foote was struck by the compressed
air cylinder on the side Of the engine.
He received the blow upon the side OF
the head and fell in such a position that
his legs were across the rail
Before he could be dragged from his
perilous position the engine wheels passed
ever his limbs
An ambulance was called and Foote
was hurried 10 St Joseph's hospital.
The left foot was so badly mangled
and the stump OF the light leg was so
crushed that IL was necessary TO amputate
tho loft leg below and the right above
the knee.
There was little chance for him TO live.
however. as he had lest great deal Of
blood and the shock was too much for
him TO rally from.
At o'clock Rev. Fr Ethea admins
tered the last rites OF the church and an
hour later death ensued.
Foote was about SO years OF age and
had been boarding at Walnut street.

BROUGHT TO WILMINGTON.
Jimmy Burns, the Negro Who Passed
Several Raised Money Orders in
This City Last Summer, Brought
Here Yesterday from Savannah and
Lodged in Jail.

Jimmy Burns, one of the negroes
who operated in several southern states
over a year passing raised money or
liz Savannah, was brought to this city
yesterday from Savannah by United
States Deputy Marshal Murray, and
was placed in New Hanover county
Jail. He will be tred at the next term
of federal court which convenes here
during the latte" part of May.
It will be remembered that two ne
croes appeared in this city last summer
and passed raised money orders for $50
each On Mt. A. Shrier, and Mr. r. F.
Hdmme. From each merchant the ne
groes purchased a small bill of goods
and got the money orders cashed. They
|endeavored to pass raised orders on sew
eral other merchants but not knowing
the bearers the merchants refused.
The negroes metnod was to go to the
Dostoffice and purchase an order paya-
BILE at some adjacent town. the amount
being for only a dollar or two, and they
would then by the means of some chem
ical remove the figures and place $50
IN the order. Before leaving Whining
ton they purchased several orders, rals-
led them and got unsuspecting mer-
chants in Fayetteville to cash them.
The negroes were a slick pair and
when it was learned they were opera t
ing in this field Postoffice Inspector
Buck was sent here to WORK
On the case. He had been On
the trail of the men for nearly
"a year, but they always kept just
out of his reach. After working On the
case for several days, it was
found ou.. that the men had left pack

escape but was later arrested in Ken
tu"1y and will probably be tried there.
The two negroes managed their
scheme successfully fer more than d
year, securing on raised money orders
more than S., 200. Eoth of them will 10

DOUGLAS PLAN FAILS.
TO END FALL RIVER
STRIKE NOT SUCCESSFUL.
Several Conferences Held Yesterday
but the Strikers and Manufacturers
Could Not Reach Agreement-An-
other Conference VIII be Held
Wednesday, i'm the Hope of Settling
the Dispute.

Boston, Mass, January 14.-The con-
ference held at the state house today
upon invitation of Governor Douglass
and a committee of the Fall River cot
ton manufacturers and representatives
of their striking employees closed at s
o'clock this afternoon, no agreement
for the settlement of the strike having
been reached. Another conference will
be held at the state house Wednesday
next
Though hope of a settlement today
had been entertained by many of the
labor people, their representatives were
not disheartened tonight, and it is be-
lieved that the movement fathered by
the governor may still result in ending
a strike that for six months has been
attended with much suffering on the
part Of the nearly 5000 strikers anu
with loss to the mill owners
When the meeting opened, Governor
Douglass read to the two committees a
plan which he had drawn up for a set
tlement of the strike. A copy of the
was uduuCO W OdCl VI IllS
two committees, which then retired to
separate rooms. After the proposition
had been discussed seperarately by the
committees the governor learned that
neither would accept his plan. From
that time on, different propositions were
made, both by the governor and the
committees.
Various reports as to the chief point
of difference were circulated during the
day, but it was said on what appears
to be good authority, that the strikers
were willing to return to work on the
basis of a seventy cent margin between
the raw material and the finished pro-
duct. In other words, they would agree
to any wage scale which would give
the manufacturers seventy cents profit
between the cost Of eight pounds OF
cotton and the selling price of As yards
of finished goods. It is understood
|however that the manufacturers held
out for larger margin.
