Efforts to Force the Train Dispatchers to Leave the Order of Railway 'Telegraphers. PEORIA, Ill, September 29.—It is stated at the headquarters of the Order of Rail- way Telegraphers in this city that the pri- inary cause of the trouble on the Canadian Pacific is that the officials undertook to coerce the train dispatchers into with- drawirg from the order, threatening them with discharge unless they did. This was done three months ago, and the order has not been rescinded. Since then, hewever, not cne has withdrawn from the order, and not oe has been discharged because he be- longed to it. All the time the order has been working hard to get the matter ad- justed. Gra Chief Powell is out of the city, and he is expected to arrive at the scene of the trouble Thu At the heacqi arters assurances have been receiv- ed that all along the line everything is tied up. The statement in the dispatches that the order had not complied with the rules of the company In first bringing the matter to the attention of the division superin- tendent is denied at headquarters. Indeed, they have a letter from the second assist- ant grand chief, Pierson, that he first pre- sented the gr nce to the division super- intendent, and that he intends to take it all the way up to Sir William Van Horn, and then he may appeal to the directors.

Mr. Barley, representing Smith, meved for a continuance, but this was refused by the judge. The jury was then sworn and ihe prisoner arraigned. He plead not guilty. The evidence in the case was not hegun until about 12:45, and was about as follows, up to the adjournment of the court at On the night of February 14, 1898, at the Virginia Blue base bali club house on Co- lumbia turnpike rear Fort Runyon, int Alexandria county, a number of negroes were congregated. Grant Smith and John Johnson, the victim, had previously had a quarrel. On that night they were together.in the club house asleep and the door barred with a base ball bat. The next morning be- tween 5 and 6 o'clock the {nmates of the house were awakened by some noise, evi- dently something heavy falling to the floor.

Owing to the proposed Lasker vs. Steinitz match, to be played in Moscow in Novem- ber, it is still very doubtful whether Lasker can be induced to enter this tournament.

Her engines were reversed and kept work- ing full speed astern and at 8 o'clock she slid off into the channel without assist- ance and uvinjured.

FOUND THE BODY Crushed Remains Uncovered at the Wrecked Workmen Came Across a Foot—Body Tenderly Lifted Out and Cared For. At six minutes to 3 o'clock the workmen, who had nearly cleared the first floor of the wrecked building on 3ist street, stum- bled across a foot, the end of which barely projected above the debris, and was cov- ered with mortar and dust, so as to be un- recognizable. The gang of laborers were quickly called to the spot, and after digging carefully around the body tenderly lifted it out. An attempt was made to keep the re- | covery a secret, but the large crowd around the place quickly got wind of the affair and surged all around the place. From the condition of the man it appears that death was not instantaneous. ‘The face was clotted with blood, and the arms were in a position as if to ward oft the falling walls. The body was found near the center of the building, and somewhat to the west, about directly over where the explosion is supposed to have occurred. The remains were carricd out the back way and taken in the seventh precinct pa- trol wagon to the morgue, where Coroner Hammett will probably hold an inquest to- mcrrow. The body was that of Frederick Lenz. a Sail for Europe.

Ges Will Have the Money Dem sistance of Sound m whi a Fatr Count. Securing a Free Ballot? Republican vistforegrom Virginia express themselves as co#fident of success in that state. Their ownjrxfks, they declare, are in excellent condifion,}and they are relying upon substantial support from the sound money democrats. They estimate, indeed, that more sound money democrats will vote for McKinley and Hobart than for Palmer and Buckner. There has always been a protection sentiment among Virginia demo- crats, which is aiding many of those who repudiate the Chicago ticket on the money question to go straight over to the support of the republican ticket. A most important service expected of these men in addition to their votes 1s that they will help to secure a fair expression of opinion at the polls and a fair count of the ballots after they are thrown. They pledge this, and they are said to be numerous and influent!al enough to make themselves felt in such an undertaking. A Free Baliot and a Fatr Count. The Virginia republicans have long loudly complained on this score. The election laws of the state, they assert, were prepared ex- pressly to give the democrats the advan- tage. The ballot is a complicated sort of thing, and the time in which a voter is re- quired to prepare and deposit it is limited to two minutes. This makes the process very hard for the majority of the colored voters, and, to add to the difficulty, in many of the counties, the number of polling places is insufficient. In the matter of election officers, while the law requires that both parties shall be represented, the mi- nority representation Is selected by the ma- jority, and this in many cases is said to deprive the minority of its rights. Incompetent or pliable men are chosen, and everything goes as the majority de- crees. Jt is regarded as. important, therefore, to have the present movement include, besides the demand for sound money, the demand for a fair election. Single-handed the republi ans have been powerless. The present law, designed, as omplai: to irjure them, has been successfully ex cuted to their injury, and their complainis have all gone unheeded. Now the sound morey democrats take the matter up, and the promise is that they will accomplish something. Influence of the Railroads.

FINANCE AND TRADE Low Prices Make a Weak Start in Today’s Business. LONDON REPORTS ENCOURAGED SELLING The Whole List Participates in the Movement. TODAY’S OPERATIONS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 29.—Lower prices in the London market encouraged some selling by traders during the first hour this morning, but beyond the estab- lishment of a weak opening level the movement was unsuccessful. The lower prices served only to increase the demand, the early declines yielding to net advances varying from 1 to 2% per cent.

The sharp advance in Burlington was somewhat Inconsistent with the figures of the August statement, but was simply an- other instance of the erratic action of a continental market.
