THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4. 1888, LnTllE BURLINGTON'S BIG BLUFF Rumors of a Decisive Move to Be Made To-day. DECIDED TO FORCE THE FIGHT. A Demand’on All Connecting Lines to Receive and Transmit Its Freight—General Situation of the Strike. Growing Acgressive. Cmicaco, April 3—The Q oficial founced this afternoon that the delivy cars to a large number of roads would be at- tompted to-morrow and the final struggle in tho great strike would probably then take place. No attempt was made by the company to do business to-day, the plea being that the police were needed at the polls throughout the city, where municipal elections were in An inkling of how the Burlington's *‘gen- eral advance’ may be met to-morrow in some quarters, lies in the fact that in order to reach the Grove street yards, where connec- " /#lon is made with at loast six other roads, the - 4Q has to pass over a section of the Alton tracks, where they were 8o vigorously ob- mtructed yesterday. Tho switches of the JRook Island yards are locked so that no Q prs can be run in, The officials of the St. Paul road to-day discovered that the switches connecting the Northwestern tracks at Western avenue were spiked. The St. Paul people say the Northwestern probably thinks this is the safest by which to avoid trouble, as the spiking of switches precludes the possibility of any freight being tendered the North- western by the St. Paul. They hold that the #piking was done at the instigation of North- western officials. . The unconditional surrender of the Michi- an Central strikers to-day was due to the nfluence exerted by the delegation of brother hood men from Jackson, who arrived this morning. The brotherhood engineers were ‘greatly averse to a strike and positively used to back it up. Business iu the Mi gan Central yards is proceedimg now as usual. An evening paper_says tho lumbermen’s association has decided to take logal proceed- ngs against every railroad connecting with the Burlington to compel them to haul the umber and transmit 1t over their respective nes. ‘The Illinois railroad and warchouse com- \4Hiission is in scssion here, hearing evidence touching upon_the alleged incompetency of he Burlington's enginee: The Burlington road this afternoon applied 0 Judge Gresham for an injunction against the belt line to restrain the latter from refus- §ng to handle Q" freight. This is the orig- 1 reinstated and secms to indicate that the . beit line is being badly pushed by its em- Pployes and has agreed to the reviving of the original bill. Judge Gresham granted a tem- porary writ. The Eastern Illinois road has given its yardmen here untii 7 o'clock to-morrow to determine defimtely whether or not they would handie “Q" freight. If the answer is unfavorable the officials say they will proceed to hire new men, Affairs in Chicago. Cu1eaao, April 8.—Not a wheel was turned 1n the Michigan Central yards since 7 o'clock this morning, and while no strike has been ““8eclared, the Chicago end of the road, at least for the present, is completely tied up, the enginecrs, firemen and switchmen all having deserted their posts. The officials . will not admit that there is a strike, but ~ simply say that they are doing no work to- * day. Itis learned that a committee of the Brotherhood of Engincers are here from - Jackson, Mich, who are _ earnestly opposed to a strike and they are “1aboring with their, bretheren here to pre- vent one being decfared. This explains why the road will not admit there is a strike, They are simply giving the men a little lee- wwa. use of the present state of af- igan Central yards is the resence the Q" freight which was de- ivered there yesterday, and the announce- fent by the Mic al that they would handle all freight delivered. L. Hommedieu, who with Superintendent, Brown, 1s managing affairs for] the company, aid: ‘‘We intend to give the men as much froce as posaible, At To'clock this moruing rown and myself were here, ready to carry out the Sprogramme announced ‘that is to say, to see that all cars received by the company were handled without discrim- natiou, or dismiss the men who refused. ust as’ we were proceeding to do this, a delegation of road engineers eniered the of- ficout 7 They had a few moments pre- Yiously arrived from Jackson, Mich., where they had been deputed by the brotherhood gen on the Michigan Central to come here and #ndeavor to arrange matters satisfactorily.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Michigan «.Central yard cmployes returned to work. Upon whit terms the strike was declared off they would not say. An ofticer of the company said the men went back unconditionally. © At a conference & -between the strikers, ofticers of the company wnd @& delegation of brotherhood mon from Juckson, this settlement .+ 4was agreed upon and at 2 p.um., the men began returning to work, It was stated at the company's office that the train of Burlington w@ogreight which has caused all the commo- tion would be forwarded this afternoon Two thousand delegates representing the the engineers, brakemen and switchmen of __all the roads leading to Chicago, held a meet #'fng this afternoon. ~ Gepoeral Manager Jef. & #reys, of the Ilinois Contral, made a spoech @t the couclusion of which it was resoived #*“that the men on each road be allowed to use their own judgment in all questions growing + ‘out of the strike, This is considered to be a irtual endorsement of the Michigan Con- al's men to-day. The Ft. Wayne strikers to-day asked the eral superintendent whether, if they re- furned to work in the morning, they would taken back. Ho replied i the afirmative i provided they would handle all business " Without discrimination. This is thought to 4 {ndioate that the F't. Wayne strike will soon over. The Helt line employes decided to-night to stand by the company and handle all freight as directed. This seltles the trouble on that Apostle Stone to 8t. John, CuicaGo, April 3, —When the Burlington rallway asked Judge ( ham for an order to compel the Rock Island to handle “Q" froight, the Rock Islend answered by charg- fog that the present strike was a part of the Burlington programme to force other lines uto joining a railroad “‘trust,” which the urlington was said to desire. H. , Stone, gencral manager of the , Burlington & Quincy, makes answer these charges in an afidavit whicn was led tuis afternoon. The afidavit denies in all the charges of the Rock Island, it pronounces scandalous and false. 1t the rate war was initisted by the Rock and other lines agauinst the most earn efforts of the Burliugton. The “‘trust ¥ 18 pronounced utterly false.

No notice has been given the complainant that the engi- neers and firemen of the defendant had given up control of its traffic depart ment or granted permission to the defendant to conduct its iness as a public carrier according to law, or that the defendant's policy of absolute non-intercourse, as do clared in tho orders and lettors of its agents, was in any respect altored.” Shot at by a Scab. When the engineer who pulled the throttle of the locomotive that drew the train for the wost from the depot of the Burlington at$ last night, returns to the city he will d by a highly incensed populace of d men from both that road and the Union Pacific, and compelled to explain for a dastardly act committed by him soon after leaving the depot. The tracks of th two ronds montioned are almos side by side near the Iifteenth stroot crosa- ing, and while a_Union Pacific switch tender was standing at his accustomed post he had his attention attracted by the reports of a pistol and the whizzing of bullets in_close proximity to his hoad. Turning soddenly around {0 see where the leaden messengers came from, a flash followed by another pistol report came from the oab of the Burlington engine. The engineer had his head and arm out of the cab window, and held in his hand & pistol from which he dischurged another volley. Four shots in all were fired, and the switchman had a narrow escape from being hit by the bullets. As s00n as the train passod he made known his experience to fellow workmen, who lost no time in bringing the news to the Tenth street crossing and an expression of denun- ciation was set up. Officer Bloom, of the city police force, was notified of the occur- rence and learned that the engineer is known as “English Biil” Up to a Iate hour the excitement among the men had not subsided, and they are determined to bring the engincer to justice, Chief Arthur Expresses Himself. LEVELAND, O., April 8. —Chief Engineer Arthur said to a reporter this evening that the brotherhood would be very glad to sce congressional investigation into the Burling- ton strike, as they thought it would bring the policy of that company before the public serutiny and be productive of much good. Regarding _the stricturcs upon the engineers in the report of tho grand_secre. tary of the conductor's brotherhood, Mr Arihur expressed contomptuous_disregard for anything they might say. He was not surprised at the document as the conductor's ofticiuls have been violently opposed to the brotherhood for some time; first, because the latter would not afiliste in any with the men, and second, because ginoers positively refused to endorse tho bill the conductors were working for In congress to compel the licensingof conductors and engineers. Arthur denied positivery that there was any danger of @ split in the brotherhood be- cause somo of the radicals were dissatisfied with the conservative policy of himself and licutenants. Santa Fe Men Resume, KAxsas City, Mo., April 8.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bek.]— All the switch engineers and firemen on the Santa Fe who struck yes- terday returned to work this morning. The conditions were that the yard should be cleared up of freight, including 1urlington cars, This has becn done and the yard is empty of standing freight. Superintondent Spoor will arrive this evening for a general conference with the men. While the Fe is not disposed to drive its employ of the service, the belief is that Goddard will make o final Tequest of the men to handle “Q cars, and if they refuse will charged as individuals. Yet the policy se to be as outlined by the policy of the yard- masters, who will not recewe boycotted freight, and if the switchmen refuse to han- dle it will be shoved over on side tracks. While a general strike would not be unex pected, its imminent possibility is daily growing le ward Lanksder, a Missouri Pacific witch engineer, was suspended this morning for refusing to handle Q" frei o’clock all the engineers in the Missouri Ps cific yards left their engines.

CHicaco, April 3.—Afternoon papers pub- lished advance shects from the report of the grand se of the order of railway con- ductors, which have been sent out to the managers of various railroads, The report is made up almost entircly of a bitter de- nunciation of the Brotherhood of Locomotiv Engineers. An extract of the report sa “The time has come when the conductor should, in every instance, oppose this organ zation ' in its demands of rail- way companies, because every time you aid the engineers you injure your own_ standing, prospects and probuble increase of remuncr: ation. It is time for the conductors to teach the railway officers what the engincers them- selyes alréady well know and are anxious to conceal, that ninc-tenths of the conductors of the United S > and trust- worthy englnce ‘the engincer re- ceiyes pay for the intelligence, kuowledge, skill, experience and responsibility of the conductor.” A Reduotion of Salaries. S7. PAvL, Minn., April 3.—The cmployes of the trafiic department of the Milwaukee & St. Paul road were officially notified this morning that the salaries of all employes be reduced 33} per cent. Tie company has taken this action rather than discharge a third of their employes not necded during the present strike troubles. Congressional Inquiry. WasmiNGTox, April 8—The house com- meree committee has ordered a favorable re- port on the resolution to provide for con- gressional inquiry into the engincers strike in the wost “The house committee on commeree agreed to Anderson’s substitute to White's resolu- tion providing for the investigation of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad strike, by & special committes of five to be appointed by the speaker. The resolution declares that the locomotive engineers now employed are incompetent and thut the claim of the resumption of public duties by the Buriington is a fraudulent tenso and o gross imposition upon the public, placing in imminent peril both life and” prope: The committeo is directed to go to the scenc of the strike, call for witnesses and papers, and iuvesti- gate and ascertain what is nocessary in the way of legislation to protect iuter-state com- meros.

Florenoce Men Kept From Voting By a Drawn Revolver. . SHERIFF COBURN SENDS AID. A Drunken Contractor Tries to Carry the Election By Worce-Sloan . Elected Mayor of South Omaha. A Very Lively Blection, There were hot times and a reign of terror at Florence yesterday, the result of the con tost at the city election. and the offiters from Omaha had to be ealled to sceure order. The fight was between the prohibitionists and antis over the election of mayor. The oppos- ing candidates were early in the fierd and some spirited canvassing was done. Every- thing went along swimmingly without any trouble until about 10 o'clock in the morning, when it is said that B. D. Callahan, a con tractor of this city, who had the job of grad- ing the new waterworks site, rode up to the polls. He was fighting drunk and swore he could lick any twelve men in Flor- ence. The voters took his word for the assertion and did not attempt to test his prowess in that line. This seemed to flatter his self-importance, for with astring of onths he next declared that he intended to carry the election. Not much attention was paid to this at first. He disapoared for s short time, but soon returned with a squad of workmen; and although none of them were legal voters the judges were forced to re ceive their ballots, Callahan had first pulled a revolver from his pocket, and handing it to a confederate, gave orders to him to shoot when necessary. — Callahan then took possession of the polls and challenged every voter who stepped up to exercise his inalicnable vight as an American citi 1t the vote was 1o be for anti-prohibition, it was allowed to be dropped into the ballot box, but if for prohibition the voter was ordered away, being threatencd with violence if he attempted to vote. Dr. Sullivan, a well known citizen, steppod forward and said he was a legal voter in tho city of Florence and he proposed to cast a ballot for prohibition. With an_oath Calla han sprang forward and struck the doctor a blow in the face that knocked him to the ground and brought the blood in torrents from his nose. ndercook one of the wealthiest citize orence, was just be hind the dc at the time of this repulse, and thinking dis- gretion the botter part of valor, he took to his icels, The candidate for mayor on the prohibition ticket, who had been an indignant witness of these high-handed outrages, bronght the city marshal and a number of policemen to arrest Callahan. This enraged the athletic con- tractor, and springing upon the anti-whisky champion he gave him a merciless thrashing in the presence of the officers. The prohibi- tion man yelled lustily for the police to come and help'him, but the officers stood rooted to their places, fearing the desperate appearance of Callahan and his motley crowd of disci- ples. Seeing the police were powerless Mr. J. E. Vandercook sent the following telegram to Sheriff Coburn: Come to Florence at once. There is a riot at the polls. Answer at once. ;i J. E. VANDERCOOK. The sheriff replied immediately that he would lend a helping hand, and sent Deputy Sherifft Houck to corral ' the terror of thy polls. Meanwhile Callahan had succeeded in driving all the prohibition men from the polls’ and had permitted no_less than sixty illegal votes to be cast. When Houck arrived in Florence he was greeted with joy by the marshal and the police force, who urged him to arrest Callahan immedi’ ately. He replied he could not do this with- out a warrant, and all repaired to the office of Justice Deland, to have one sworn out. This wearer of the judicial ermine scemed greatly at a loss to know how to fill the paper out, and in just two hours after Houck went into the ofiice he came out with the necessary legal papers, When Houck reached the polls Le found Callahan patroling the place on horseback. Watching him until he alighted the deputy got out of his buggy, walked up to him and told him he haa a warrant for him, “The —— you have,” said Callulian, “Yes, I have,” replied the deputy. “Do you think you will serve it} 1 know I'will,'’ was the determined reply. “If you value your personal safety get right into'my buggy standing there,” After a little more parley, sccing Houck meant what he said, Callahan submitted to arrest. After the two were m the buggy Callahan called for hus crowd to follow, but they were prompily checked by Mr. 5 The deputy then drove from Flor Omahn, six miles, alone with his prisoner, reaching this city about 7 p. m. When Houck turned the prisoncr over to the sheriff the latter official discovered that the commitment made out by the learned dispenser of justice at Florence did not have any charge whatever against Callaban. ‘The sheriff said he could not hold him, but thought best to make Callahan believe he was being released on his own recognizance. The sheriff told him ho would tet him go for the might provided he would go to his home on South Tenth street. e promised 1o do so, but returned shortly afterwards, saying he wantoed to o to Florence, The sheriff finally coaxed him out of this uotion by showing 'Callaban that it would put him (Coburn) before the people in @ bud light in thus letting him go back. )T THERF itizens' " Ticket bwed Under, 1 off quietly in South Omaha yesterday and the result was a com- plete surprise to everybody conversant with the politicai workings of this city. That Eunis, the citizens' candidate for mayor, would be defeated by Sloan, the law and order candidate, was conceded long before the closing of the polls, but never was it thought that Eunis would be snowed under by such a monumental majority as was the result of yesterday's voting. 'The supporters of Ennis asscrt openly that he was sold_out by certain cliques that promised and eve pledged him th upport. On the contrary, the admirers of Sloan state that it was the still voting by the representative element, composed principally of busimess men, that prompted his defeat. However, the law and order element regard the outcome as being something that could not have been other wise without a reflection being cast upon the mauner in which some people exercise the sacred of the ballot. The total vote cast will not reach much over 1,200, which is away below the estimate placed by all parties. This is accounted for by the muddy condition of the streets. On an informal count, Sloan’s ma- jority in the four wards will aggregate about 1,050, while the entire vote cast for Ennis not reach over 250. The result in the contest for mayor was & suprise to many, but no less than that of the aldermanic vote in the Fourth ward, when Ma, vage, the present incumbent, received but sixteen votes out of 110 cast. “Phe aldermanic contest resulted in the elec- tion of four democrats and two law and order candidates, The consists _of Messrs. Bayliss, 1e cr and McMil Jan; and the lawter Messrs. Smith and O'lourke. ‘The plum attached to the oftice of city clerk was carried off by Hoctor (demo- crat) over Shannon (law and order) by asbout 850 majority, For city treas urer Geary leads off with a small majority. in the Second, Third and Fourth wards, and should he maintain his expected strength in the First ward, he will b the victor.

(Copyright 1858 by James Fordon Bennett.] LoxnoN, April 3.—[New York Herald Cable Special to the Bke.] -An evening paper of repute, in its money article this evening, said: “Tho stock market this morning presents an atmosphere of surpriso at the business that has been done in Ameri cans since the closing on Saturday, necessi- tating the American exchanges k ing open all yesterday, when a considerable amount of buying was indulged in by the frequenters of those institutions. This morning there was a great deal of regret that the wrong things had boen bought, and a somewhat obvious desire to get out of purchases. There aro many members of the stock exchange who are prepared to declare their belief that the fall during tho latter end of last week in Americans is only the com- mencement of the wholesale col- lapse, and the insignificant exprossions that aro loaking out from different well in- formed quarters would secm to show that there is something behind the movements in these shares.

Since Saturday's closing the falls scem heavy, but they are comparatively better than they were yester- day. The American market is paralyzed by inattention, and many of its biggest sup- porters, who for reasons best known to them- selves, have discontinued extensive dealings. 1 immediately endeavored to discover tho ‘reasons best known to themselves,’ and saw several old habitues. They were willing to give the reasons, provided they were not named. Two had been dealers extensively in Americans. Enough to say, they all named the Wizard as the recent marplot, and the absolute growing belief in the rottenness of the stock exchange, speculators, and even the railways that continued to tolerate his disreputable dealings. Said one,‘Now that he has begun to throw stones will no one break his own glass house. This remark came in consequence of the long cable in the Times, reporting the Wizard's re- cent letter. Those who remember the effect in Capel court of the Sickles- Barlow exposure and the subsequent Wa- bash theiving, say that the new Missouri Pa- cific revelations have produced a far greater distrust of American investments." To-morrow’s Financial Nows, in alluding to the loss of confidence and the reasons, will suy: “So great is the distrust of this man that the fact that he is connected with any property is cnough to depress it far below its intrinsic valuo in the market.” In another part of the Financial News it will observe: “According to New York advices, Mr. (meaning the Wizard) has been expressing his opinion about the New York Herald. Well, the prisoner’s opinion of the police ofticer who catches him in the act of house- breaking is not usually of much value or im- portance.” R — How Painters Fill Their Pockets, | Copyright 1888 by James Gordon. Bennett.] Brussers, April 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—Th wners of picture galleries and collections in America will have need to overhaul their alleged Jan ‘an Beers, At Bruges yesterday judgment was given against the latter in the correc- tional tribunal, It teaches a warning. It scems that last summer he, while at Ostend, noticed in a shop four pictures bearmg L signature, which ie pronounced counterfeit. He bro t action against the dealer. The pictures were scized and found to be the property of a dealer at Ant- werp, who brought forward witnesses to prove that they wi nuine. At the trinl a witness for the defendant, Eisman Semanowski, stated that he had worked for several years at M. Van Beers' studio in Paris, making copies of his pictures, some- times painting originals which were touched up by M. Van Beers, signed by him and sold as his own. He recognized the four pictures In question as his own work, touched up by Van Beers. M. Paul De Wit, another wit- ness, stated that nine years ago an associa- tion was formed in Paris under the direc- tion of M. Van Beers to manufacture his picture. Then Van Beers was called as a witness, He testified, and on cross examination ad- mitted that “He done what many of the ancient masters had done—he finished pic- tures painted by others, and that the two witnesses had worked for him, He bad al- lowed his name to be signed on an unsatis- factory picture, but that was only a joke and ought not to have been made public. He did not deny that the manufactory of bicturcs had existed, but he claimed that the four pictures before the court did not come from i Then the public prosecutor said: “I have only allowed the trial to proceed in order to give the plaintiff an opportunity to contra- dict the facts imputed him. He has not en- tirely done so, and the prosccution must be abandoned.” It was hinted in court that not only were Replicas sent to America, but that other artists did not disdain on the quiet to practice this Van Beers business, Steamship Arrivals, QuEENsTOWN, April 8. —[Special Cablegram to the Bee.]—The City of Richmond, from New York, has arriv Floguet Outlines His Policy.
