The Order Stands for Fidelity,
Justice, Charity, and
Friendship.
lRAILSBACK DIVISION HERE.
lied FORTY YEARS AGO ANC
HAS A MEMBERSHIP OF OVER
FORTY-TWO THOUSAND.

Fidelity, Justice, Charity ana
Friendship-these are the admirable
precepts of the Order of Railway
conductors of America, RaiIsback Di-
vision No. 452. .having'its headquarters
J In this city. The Railway Conductors
brotherhood is one of the oldest and
strongest labor unions in the world,
iahaving been in active existence for
forty years. ii has membership list
Sin the United States and Canada num-
bering 1880.
1t was in the springBof 1868 that the
plan of organizing a union of railway
conductors was conceived. The con-
ductors on the Illinois, Central formed
Ian association knownras the Conduc-
tors Union and soon afterward the
men on the Chicago. Burlington and
/ Quincy were given charters and mem
bership cards. In November Of that
tyear, a call was issued to the conduc-
! tors on all the railroads of the United
States and Canada for asconvention to
be held at Columbus on December 10.
| The conductors responded, sending
delegates to the convention and the
original union was reorganized into
the American society. The old con-
stitution was revised, benefit depart
ment instituted and officers elected.
j. c. Coleman was the first grand
/ chief of the order.
The present, grand chief of the Rail-
way conductors is A. b. Garretson,
/ and the secretary andr treasurer is w.
u. Maxwell, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
There are now, 525' divisions of the Or
der throughout the continent, the
Railsback Division, No. 4o2, being one
of these. The local division was in
stituted in February of 1904. But
one member has been lost: B. B. Tim
berlake. who fell from train in 1905,
and was killed. The membership in
cludes nearly all the conductors who
live in Richmond.
The report of the insurance depart
ment published on January first Of
this year indicates the great value of
the order to its members. On the
first day of this year, the mutual ben
eft department paid in claims on &C
count of deceased and disabled mem
bers the sum of $9S43 ,561. Many
families are maintained by the order.
The constitution and bylaws are
similar to those of other labor organi-
cations that have as their motive the
betterment of man. The obligations
are such as to make the members bet
ter men and better employees. w. J.
Meagen, E. F. Hadley, E. Brown, V.

ment here.
The officers of the Railsback Di-
vision are as follows: Elisha Brown,

ant chief conductor; James w. Fin

Last falls crop was 2, 553. 1872 900 bushels, worth
81. $50 600, 600; the distillers and brewers took
not more than 100000 bushels, worth not

tilleries and breweries were closed writes DR..
Curtis, 1.-THE farmers would never suspect it, so
far as their markell for their corn is concerned"

grain largely negligible quantity. They are
the product of chemical compounds of various

ONE OF the most sickening and pitifnl occur
rences that this country ever heard of was the
burning of the school building at North Col
linwood, suburb of Cleveland, o I, on We'd
nesday last. There were over four hundred
children in the building when the fire-caused
by an overheated furnace-broke out, and
nearly half of them were either cremated or
had their lives trampled out in the panic that
ensued after the alarm was given. The details
of the affair are too painful to contemplate.
