The Independent Convention— The Strikers and the Struck—Ton Free With a Ham — Personal and Other News. Notes of the Strike. The “Q" collision at the Wabash crossing Thursday ecvening was the principal topic of conversation yester- day morning at the headquarters of the striking engineers and firemen. The strikers state positively that the *'Q” train did not stop until the collision took place, and say there were brother- hood men on the train as passengers who will testify to that effect. On the dontrary the railroad officials say that the train did stop and whistle for the crossing, and say that every passenger on the train aigned a ‘)aper having that statement. The strikers informed a BEE reporter that the name of the en- gineer who was in charge of engine No. 812, pulling the passenger train at the time of the accident, hus been scratched from the train register at the local depot. The reporter went to the depot and asked to see theregister, Theagent informed him that he could not allow him to see it, as ‘it wouldn’t do.” The cause assigned for the accident by the “Q” officials is that the Wabash sf"owcd no lights whatever, and the first intimation their engineer had of the location of the other train was when his headlight revealed it. The wrecking foroe was at work all day, and just at night had succeeded in getting the *‘312" straightened out and again on the track. General Agent Marshall says that the damage done to the engine will amount to considerable. He states that the engineer in charge at the timé of the collision was named Johnson, and is an experienced man from the east. The officials claim that the new men are passing good examinations and will goon be running all trains as usual, The strikers say that such statements are gross misrépresentations, and that the company are buying up some of the papers in order to create o false im- pression among the general public, in order to convince them that the new men are reliable, and that the company is satisfied with them. “Why don’t the newspapers give both sides of the cnse?’ is a quevy heard among the staiikers. One of them went further, yesterday, and said: *'I notice that the BEE and the Globe try to be fair about the matter, but all the other papers act as if they had been bought up, They always give what the rail- way company have to say, but don’t give our side.” “What new thing do you want to say on your side?” “There’s a good deal that can be said. T noticed that the “Q” claims they are getting just as competent eungineers as those who have quit. Therecord of the accidents don’t show it. I know the personal racord of some of these men, too. They don't show it. Joe Cox, who now pulls the fast mail, never ran an engine before the present trouble. Heused to fire. He was expelled from the brotherhood for non-payment of dues. J. E. Sperry, formeriy employed in the train depart- ment ot the D. M., O. &8, narrow uage, was discharged by the Chicago. urlington & Quincy because he was found to be color blind, but is now deemed a competent engineer. William Davis, after running a freight engine for two months or so, met with an acci- dent, run into another train, was let out, but now comes to the front as a competent engineer to run a passenger train. A brakeman has been given an engine, and so I might go on and give a long list. Why don’t they show up the record of these competent engineers?” The company sent out an extra passen- ger train last evening ahead of the regular No, 6. Some of the wipers at the roundhouse quit work yesterday alleging that the carelessness of the new men endangered their lives. One man stated that while he was at work under the engine, thé engineer pulled out, running over him. Another one said that while locking the turntable the engineers had several times started up, narrowly missing taking off his arm. Similar stories of carelessness and in- capacity are frequent, and the men say they want a different deal or they will have to quit work or be killed. There are numerous predictions made that as soon as any attempt is made to move the freight consigned to the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quinc{ railway there will be trouble on the lines thus attempting to help that railway. There are at the transfer now nearly five hun- dred cars of freight, brought in from the west, and consigned to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. These cars are on a sidetrack and will remain there for some time. The other day seventeen of these cars were sent over to the Rock Island to go out over that line. but in less than two hours the cars were brought back, that road refusing to take them. Itisevidant that the engineers of the-other roads will refuse to haul any such cars. and if the road insists there will be a spreading of the strike. ——— On the market for over twenty years.

Most of the time in the district court yesterday was taken up in the trial of Hall, whose career has been the subject of so much comment. There recently appeared in some of the police papers the picture and description of a man answering that of Hall so closely that the officers are certain that he is the same who has gained such police noto- riety os one of the cleverest crooks in the whole land. The offense for which he was arrested here was for obtaining a suit of clothes at J. T. Oliver’s tailor- ing establishment under false pretences. Hall ordered a suit made there, and when the clothes were finished he called for them when Mr. Oliver was not there. Mr. Norene, his foreman, wrapped up the goods,but he did not have the money to pay for them. An ar- rangement was made by which Mr. No- rene went with him to the Shugar Beno block, where Hall was to get the money. When they reached that place Hall told Norene to wait a minute while he could run up stairs and get- the key to his office. He hurried up the stairs, and Norepe waited in vain, He aid not return, He slipped down the stairs on the opposite -street, and put. out for Qmaha. He was afterwards arrested there, and brought back here. On ar- riving here he was identified by .one of the victims of a recent confidence game, as having been one of the sharpers who worked him, There was also found upon him a number ¢f blank checks, bonds, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: | MURDERER FOSTER TO HANG and other furnishings for a confidence man. : - On the part of the defense there was little or no evidence offered. Mr. Hal- dane, who defended Hall, asked for his discharge on technical grounds, having found .a flaw in the indictment. The court couldn’t be made to see this flaw as plainly as it appeareda to the eyes of the attorney. The defense had asked for a continuance on the ground that he wanted a witness named Sprague. The state admitted. that if Sprague was here he would testify that Hall came to him to get the money to pay for the clothes; that he got the money; that the two went together to Oliver's store immediately, but it was then locked up, and he could not get in to pay the bilq. Hall himself dl% not go on the stand at all, but quietly sat beside his counsel apparently as unconcerned as if he had been but a spectator. ot .

Chief Mullen yesterday arrested a stranger whom he thought answered to the description of a man wanted at At- lantic and Des Moines for larceny. When taken to the station he gave his name as W. J. Morgan. He had a set of jewelry with pearl settings, several checks, express receipts and a pocket- book, on the iunside of which was stamped, ‘‘Stolen from N. G. Havens, Ohio, 1L Shortly arter his arres’ Baggage Mas- ter Moxley, of the Northwestern, ap- peared at the station and said that his visit uptown wag for the purpose of hav- ing Morgan arrested. It seems that Morgan arrived in the city last Monday and registered at the Pacific house. He gave a baggage check, No. 1816, to the clerk and requested him to have the baggage brought up immediately from the Northwestern depot. When the check was presented there was no bag- gage to be found for it, and the next day Morgan appeared on the scene and said that he should charge the company 810 a day until his property was forth- coming, He claimed that his trunk was checked at Des Moines and ought to have come directly to this city. Mr. Moxley telegraphed to Des Moines and was informed that a check of that number was never. issued from that office, and there must be either a mistake or some underhanded work going on. On examining Morgan’s check it was found to be a strap check and was stolen from a piece of baggage at Marshalltown. The strap was found in_his room after his arrest. Marshal M. H. Salisbury, of Atlantic, arrived here in theafternoon and recog- nized Morgan as the man who is wanted at that place for stealing an overcoat and jumping his board lall. He is also wanted at Des Moines for stealing an overcoat from tho Morgan House. The railroad company had intended to prose- cute the thief for stealing the check, Lut when the Atlantic officer arrived here, concluded to let that case be tried first. He was taken back to Atlantic last night. He is a well dressed young man and is apparently a first class crook. The three charges now pending against him will probably provide him with state shelter for some time. it S i A Political Farce. About four hundred citizens assembled at the Masonic temple last evening, for the purpose of placing in nomination a citizens ticket to be voted for at the coming electien. The meeting was called to order by Dr. A. J. Cook, and Ben jamin Winchester elected chairman, Richard Rawlings was elected secretary. Mr, Winchester took the chair but soon resigned on account of defective hearing. Philip Loeffel was then electe to fill the vacancy. After a few remarks the chairman called for other speakers. Dr. Cook arose and nt.temEmd to state the objects of the meeting, but was unable to make himself heard on account of cries for John Ahles. Mr. Ahles responded and called forth much applause. Dr. Cook followed in a strong denunciation of the “‘gang.” John Short was then called for and spoke atsome length despite several interruptions from the audience. William Kastner then took up a short space of time. John Ahles was next called for again and responded with a lengthy speech. Dr. Cook again stated the objects of the meeting. A motion to adjourn was lost. From then on the meeting was a perfect pan- demonium and the chairman found it useless to try to preserve order and did not make the attempt. Finally Dr. Cook managed to get the attention of the meeting for & few minutes and pre- sented the following ticket for consid- eration: Mayor—Dr. A. J. Cook. Murshal—J. F. Townes. Aldemen-at-Large--George Jacobs and L. A, Casper. Alderman First ward—J, C. Bixby. Alderman Second ward—P, Wind. City Solicitor—I. N. Flickinger. City Auditor—L. Kinnchan. City Surveyor—Stimpson, + City Treasurer—John Sullivan. Members School Board—J, J. Stewart and George Blaxsim. It was useless to try to geta vote on the motion to place the ticket in nomina- tion and the meeflnf adjourned. The labor delegates (self-constituted) then went into private session and declared the ticket in nomination. Taken all through the meeting was the most ridiculous farce that was ever perpetrated in the city, whether under the guise of politics or anything else. B Knotty But Nice Law. The county recorder was given a puzzler yesterday. Some Omaha par- ties were here to get a plat recorded of some land which was formerly on this side of the river and in Towa. The fickle river in its shiftings has now got on this gide of tbe property, which is now about to be platted as a part of Omaha, The previous records concern= ing the track are in this county, but the land is practically in Douglas county. County l{ecnrder Thomas asked for a little time to get legal advice,and when asked how long it would take suggested that his attorney would probably be ready to decide by Monday. “If you have got a lawyer in Council Bluffs who can settle the question by Monday, he’s a startler,” was the reply. They have been looking up the ques- tions involved for months and like others have found that the law concern- ing accretions and changes of the river -is a regular crazy-quilt. The many changes made by the river have have laid the foundation for numerous contests as to titl Register To-Day. The boards of registration meet to- day to correct the list. Those.who are not certain that their names are on the list should give the matter prompt at- tention. The boards meet again on election ‘day but no certificats. can be issued except to persons who were ab- sent from the city during all the pre- vious days fixed for the. registration, Every voter should see to this, and at once. s Termination of a Sensational Trial at Bedford, Ia. THE DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED. Two Women Take Their Lives, One By Poison, the Other By Drowhing —Mother and Child Fatally Burned. Convicted of Murder. Bepronn, Ia., March 2,—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The jury in the Foster murder case on trial here to-day brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree after three hours consideration, with the penalty of death. March 15, 1889, is fixed as the day for execution. Under the Iowa law the prisoner must spend one year in the penitentiary be- fore execution. An appeal will be taken. The murder for which Foster was con- vidted was committed near a place called Blocktown in the eastern part of the county about ten weeks ago. Foster, who had been working as a railroad grader on the Diagonal railroad in Missourd, started in a northwesterly direction with a fel- low workman in a covered wagon. The team and wagon belonged to_the other man who also had some money. While they were camping out near Blocktown, Foster kiiled him, tied a stone around the body and threw 1t into the Platte river, together with his trunk which he had_rified. He then started with the team for Nebraska. Some little boys while playing on the bank of the river the next day saw the trunk floating on the water. The river was dragged and the body of the murdered man discovered. Foster, immediately after committing the crime, started west with theteam and wagon, He was traced to this state and captured at Nebragka fi!(%. His parents live in Indiana and ar? sal be well-to-do people. e —— Woman Suffrage. Des Moixes, Ia., March 2.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—It was something of a surprise this evening to find the bill for mu- nicipal suffrage passed by the house. It has come to be known that that the house is very cranky and liable to do most anything, but 1t ‘was hardly supposed that the bill would pass as itdid. A large part of the afternoon was devoted to speeches on this subject. The usual arguments for and against womann suffrage were tossed into the rin%. and some excited remarks were made. A large num- ber of ladies were present, including some of the noted suffragists, who were lobbying for the bill. Every democrat in the house voted against the bill, as did many republicans, but the cranks were in the majority ana pre- vailed. It is thought that the bill will not pass the senate, whatever disposition is made of it 10 the house. S Burned to Death. CrixToN, Ia., March 2.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.|—About 8 o'clock this afternoon the alarm of fire was sounded. On hasten- ing to the spot & woman and her two-year-old child was found wrapped in the flames of a glass kerosene lamp, it having been broken near a stove and catching fire. The babe was burned to a Grisp, and lived only about an hour. The mother, a strong German woman, wife of Erank Brower, aged about thirty, \vas badly burned about the head and limbs, and cannot live till morning. The building was slightly damaged.

Sroux Ciry, Ia, March 2.—[Special Tele- gram to the ISEE.]—An organized movement ‘was begun here ta-day the purpose of which is to secure for Sjoux City the proposed ex- tension of the St. Paul & Duluth railroad. The proposed route is an air line from St. Paul to Omaha. An effort will be made to secure a dertection of the line to Sioux City, — Opposed to a Meat Inspector. Siovx City, Ta,, March. 2.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—The jobbers of Sioux City to-day adopted a memorial to the Towa legislature protesting against the passage of the meat inspection bill. The packers here say that the bill will injuriously affect their interests. The bill was introduced in the in- terest of the butchers of eastern Iowa to cir- cumvent the competition of Armour, Fowler and other large packers of Chicago. Sioux City Stores Closing Early. Stovx Ciry, Ia., March 2.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—To-night the early clos- ing movement was made complete and all business houses closed their doors at 6:30 o'clock. Quite a number of retail stores closed at that hour last night. To-day all signed the agreement.

Bolter had the floor and spoke for some time against the Sweeney amendment. McCoy said he was as much opposed to discrimination as any one, provided they ‘were unreasonable. Any favor given any person, firm, corporation or locality that had been denied some other under the same con- ditions, he called unreasonable. There v.ere Qifferent degrees of discrimination, as there were of murder. Finn said the words ‘‘undue and unreasona- ble,” were found in the inter-state law, but notone case had been brought under this section of the law, and yet discriminations had existed. It was because the law was hedged in and made ineffectual by qualifica- tions. Young spoke in favor of the bill without the substitute. He gave res to show the falling off i the products of Iowa since 1883, and then to show the in- crease of earnings of carriers. He drew the conclision that a system that takes more for carrying less is wrong. He said that he and those agreeing Wwith him, that the words “‘undue and unreasonable’ should be stricken out,dd not mean to be hard on any un- fortunates that eharity would dictate to be assed, but they could not afford to leave a loop hole for the thousand other cases that ‘would be wrong, Discussion was cut off by adjournment at5 o'clock without any vote being taken. A In house, afternoon session, the schedule railroad bill was again postponed until Mon- dey at 2 o'clock, ‘Temperance and license bills were also deferred until Monday. ‘The bill granting municipal and school suffrage to women was ordered engrossed, by & vote of—yeas, 50; nays, 42. ‘Weather Indications.

OCATTLE: CONVENTION. Extensive Preparations Being Made For the Meeting at Denver. Dexven, Col., March 2.—[Special Telegram 10 the Bee. ] —President Head, of the Inter- pational Ratige association returned this morning from Wyoming. He reports the condition of cattle on the ranges in that terri- tory promising. Texas and Colorado are also ina good condition, so far as the cattle interests are concerned. “I have been over this whole territory and I can truthfully say the cattle are in much better condition to-day than at any previous year at this time. Of course the winter is not over. We have plenty of time to geta set back, thoughl sincerely trust that this misfortune will not occur. Yet I believe it a fi”‘l policy to keep ® watchful eye on the stock.” Secretary Leary was busy u{lylng to let- ters from correspondents throughout the cat- tle country. These replies have reference to the rates, matters affecting delegations and rules governing proxies. e Denver, Texas & Gulf company have already given a half rate, and_other railroads will do the same and possibly the rate will be_extended so as to be open the public. “I think the con- vention,” said Secretary Lenrfv, “will be the largest ever attended. It will be open to cattle men generally and will stimulate in- terest where before there was apathy. I fl]llnk there will be 10,00 people trom Texas alone.’ At a meeting of the Citizens' chamber of commerce last night it was agreed to spend $165,000 in_celebration of the completion of the Pan Handle to this city on the 28th, which occurs at the same time of the cattle convention. Over $3,000 was subscribed at the meeting last night. —_—— Harper Must Work. CoLumsue, O., March 2.—|Special Tele- gram to the Ber]—Warden Coffin, of the Ohio penitentiary, to-day received the opinion of Attorney General Garland con- cerning the employment of federal prisoners on piece work. It relates to A. L. Harper, late vice presidentof the defunct Fiaelity bamk. It has been contended as Harper was a United States _prisoner he could not be so employed and had been given an easy position in the office of the sec- retary of the prison, The opinion of the at- torney general is to the effect that federal prisoners can be worked on any piece ‘work whether their sentence reads ‘‘without hard labor” or not. The result of this is that Harper will be given work more laborious than book-keeping. The, warden will likely place him in the chair shop. —— Another Railroad War. 8r. Louis, March 2 —[Special Telogram to the BEE.]—A meetingof the general mangers of the various southwestern roads is now being held at the Southern hotel. It is said to be loaded and will be followed by a big explosion. It is asserted that a com- bination is bemg formed to freeze the Chicago & Alton, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the ‘Wabash out of their southwestern business. None of these roads have representatives at the meeting, and they have learned that a big fight is about to be inaugurated on their business. The Missouri Pacific, San Fran- cisco, and all eastern and southwestern lines are in the deal. —_—— Look Out For the Check. Have lost my C. M. & St. Paul pay check. Payment stopped.

CH1cAGO, March 2.—At yesterday’s session of the western joint conference committee a vote was taken on the proposition to restore all western railroad rates to the basis in effect before January 31. The Alton and Burlington declined to vote and the St. Paul voted In the negative, which defeated the resolution. The adoption of the proposed triple association agreement is still a matter of much uncertainty, and it appears probable that the rate war will continue for the next sixty days at least.

In pursuing this plan THE lace to buy your groceries is at Troxell ro's., 845 Middle Broadway. There is from 10 to 20 per cent difference between the cash and credit systems, and this benefit the customer gets. If you have never tried this plan, do so now. It will STRIKE your pocket so hard and give you so many advantages that you will follow it hereafter. WANTED‘HI’B'.-CIIBB cook at Creston house, Council Bluffs, Jowa. ¥ TIPTON'S AL ESTATR.
