There has b in rates of wages or conditions 1801, and the cost should be the same as in 1891 HAD BEEN IN FORCE FOR YEARS. In regard to excess mileage the witness waid it had been in force from the building of the road, but in 1872 |t was cut off on all runs east of Cheyenne, and men made no complaint, as the conditions which form erly justified it had changed. In regard to short runs where large pay was earned by virtue of excess mileage Mr. Vroman sald those runs were extreme cases which Mr. McConnell cited, two being out of Wal- lace, which were seven miles, and the grades were as high as 260 feet and only thres cars could be handled hy a large engine, and the conditions wers &0 dan- kerous that cars had to be chained to the track for safety, as blocking was not suf- fictent, T now In those sections was also very deep, and the service was not only dangerous, but very disagreeable. The other run mentioned was from arbuck to Alt eleven miles, first five niles 100 t per mile, and the next six miles 160 feet to the mile, and the run was that of a helper, and if few trains were ‘run the helper made few trips and received small pay. In regard to when were used the statement of Mr. McConnell confirmed the contention of the men that the engineers were required to exercise greater vigllance and the exercise of greater Judgment. Trains were made up o full capacity of the engine, and they frequently had to double and backing down for the balance of the train was a_dangerous trip. The time required to make the same mileage was greater on the heavy grades than in the valley The time ard showed the same time, but in actual practice more time was consumed. In regard to the statement that the pay on large engines was not disturbed, he safd the rate had not been changed, but by cut- ting off excess mileage the pay was reduced. In regard to the statement that the grades did not exceed ninet feet to the mile between Cheyenne and Ogden, Mr. Vroman stated there were helpers on 1 of these hills. On the Short Line the grades were heavier, and at these places two helpers were often necessary to get a full train over the grades, they were 8o steep. In regard to work engineers formerly did which was now not done by them men- tioned by Mr. McConnell, the witness said lie never saw any Instructions (o engineers during his twenty-five years service which uired the engineers to do that work, but, nevertheless, many of the best engineers preferred to do this work. In regard to cleaning out ofl holes mentioned by Mr. McConnell, the cleaning referred to required the lifting of the journal by jack screws and had to be done in the shops. In regard to the statement of Mr. Me- Connell ~ that the introduction of heavier locomotives had not increased the work of engineers, the witness said they claimed the increased tonnage the heavier cngines hauled required greater vigilance and skill to hold the trains safely down the heavy grades. ENGINEERS NOT RESPONSIBLE. The witness claimed the engin were not responsible for the discrimination in regard to excess mileage allowance between different branches of the service. He stated the engineers had never made a demand upon the company, but had always put it in the way of a request, and there had always Deen the best of feeling between the men and the management. In substantiation of this siatement the witness read a series of reso- Tutlons adopted by the men after a con- ference in 1885. Since that time conferences have been held to make amendments to the schedules and rules male necessary by changed conditions and the acquisition of new lines. In 1890 one was held with Mr. Clark. At that time Mr. Clark requested the wage question be held in abeyance and the men cheerfully consented. And this brought out a_warm letter of commendation from Mr. Clark, In regard to being called upon last August to agree to a reduction in wages the witness stated the men who were called upon had no authority to grant the request, but it was submitted to the men who alono could decide. The general opinion of the men was that the general depression affected the pay of the men, as they were paid on the mileage basts, and only draw pay for _services actually done, and were already suffering as much loss as the company proportionately, and did not deem a reduction in rate of pay to be fair and just. Mr. Vroman stated to the court that in his opinion the teachings and practices of the brotherhood had tended to bring to the system a better class of employes and to weed out the poor ones by refusing to countenance them or their practices. COMPARATIVE WAGES. The witness then made comparisons in wages between the men west of Cheyenne ¢n the Union Pacific and on the Southern Pacific under similar conditions. The Union Pacifio men recelved $4.20 per 100 miles on the runs from Cheyenne to Ogden. Hunt- ington, Portland and Pacific division $4.95 per 100 miles, or an average of $4.45 per 100 miles. Southern’ Pacific, Ogden to Terrace, $1.63; Terrace to Carlin, $4.70; Carlin to Winni- muca, $6.18; Wadsworth to Truckee, $1.65; Truckee to Sacramento, $5.95 for freight runs, Sacramento to Red Bluff, $5, and from Red Bluft to Dunsmen, $5.25; Ashland to Grant Pass, $4.50; Grant Pass to Roseburg, $4.60; Junction City to Portland, §4.09. The average for passenger engineers was $4.15, and for frelght, $4.87. General average $4.51 on the basis of two freight miles to one passenger the general average would be 4.87. #4456 was not In a position to get all the data from which the companies get figures for cost of engine service, The men cite six systems for comparison with the eastern end of the line. The average of the six lines similarly situated and in which the conditions were similar to the eastern end of the Union Tacific was 6.04, and on the eastern end of the Union Pacific it was 5.89. On the en- tire Union Pacific system it was 6.47. ‘The rate of pay for the service of helpers the witness did not think was excessive be- e e s the largest engines NUMBER 4.

Under the old schedule if the men doubled the run they got one and cnes half days, but under the new they re- ceived pay for 115 miles, Mr. Thurston asked Mr. Vroman If there was any other organization except theni- selves which the engineers wished to repre- sent them, and he answered there was not as far as he Knew The court then notified the men that if they were dissatisfied with the judsment ot the court they had the right of appeal Tn answer to a question of the court Mr Thurston stated that Mr. Clark was the only one of the recelvers who was familiar with che operatlon of railroads.

Tis Opinion of the Meaning of the Decision of Judges Caldwell and Sanborn. DENVER, March 31.—Ex-Governor Evans told an Associated press reporter tonight that the Union Pacific people are wrong when they report the decision of Judges Caldwell and Sanborn of the United States circuit court at Omaha as against the Gulf road. He says: “The prineiples laid down by the court are undoubtedly correct. The dispute between the receivers as to the pay due for the use of the Julesburg cut off are referred to the receivers of the respec- tive roads for an equitable adjustment. In case they cannot agree the court will de- cide. The Unfon Pacitic cannot afford now to use this line, and officers of the North- western say their road would object to thelr business belng hauled by way of Cheyenne, The Julesburg line was buiit by the Union Pacitic in order to shorten its line to Denver, and its abandonment would undoubtedly'give the other eastern lines a great advantage for Colorado busi- ness. The questions of the use of shops and yards are of minor importance com- pared with the segregation of the two properties, and the court directs their ad- justment 'In like manner, which is emi- nently just and fair, during the process of segreigation.” The governor says his suit, in which Mr. Trumbull acts as’ recelver, ‘was not only recognized, but the segregation of the Guif property and its independent operatios also. The hope of the Union Pacific people that the Gulf road would be ever reorgan- ized into the Unlon Pacific system, which its attorneys claim is only desired to sup- press competition, is effectually blighted. WILL LET THE OVERLAND IN, Union Paclfic Expected to gration Pool on Monday. CHICAGO, March 3L—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—It will surprise no member of the advisory board of the Western Immi- grant pool it the Unlon Pacific enters into full membership on Monday. The opinion was unanimous at the close of today's meeting that matters were on the eve of an amicable settlement. This will be brought about by a rearrangement of the percentages giving the Union Pacific a slightly larger share than an equal division with all competitors. Such settlement will at once establish the immigrant agreement on a firm basis, and probably for this year at least will remove all demoralizing ‘f tures from immigrant rates. If the Union Pacific becomes a4 _member the Atchison will_immediately resume its interrupted membership. Railway COLORADO SPRIN J. J. Haggerman, oln the Tmmi- ew Mexico.

DENVER, March 31.—The attorneys for Mullins and Barnes, “the new fire and police commissioners, tonight filed with the supreme court a petition asking for a writ of prohibition against Judge Allen, similar to the one granted yesterday hgainst Judge Glynn, restraining him from takin any action whatever in the fire and poli bourd controversy. The writ was issued, This leaves both boards to act us they please and increases the probability of a clash, The new board began swearing in policemen today and before the wr prohibition was' issued M and Har were arresated for Allen's court and released ench It is reported that Julge Graham, who issued the original injunction against the new boand, which was quashed by Judge Glynn, sitting in Graham's court, iy hasten- ing home from his vacation, in order to resume his seat and take a' hand In the controversy. The supreme court today re- fused the request of the committee of safety that it take immediate jurisdiction and give a decision us soon as possible, Attorney General Ingley, who has' so far taken no hand in the proceedings, may next week begin sult, in behalf of the people, against the old commissioners for A mandamus to compel them to turn over to the state (he property in theit posses- slon, as commissioners. Yhe committee of safety met today and considered the propriety of applying op Monday - for an injunction to ‘restratn il the newspapers In the state from printin anything about the fire and police boarc cases now pending in the courls until they are settled. It was argued thal it the people do- not read anything about the dispute the affair will quiet down and thy trouble will be settled sooner, Severa prominent men, commenting on this propos sition, said that while it might be a good thing, It might also give a chance for star chamber proceedings by one side or the other. At all the armories in the state militla- men are assembled, ostensibly to guard the arms und ammunition, but ninety-day mep are being enlisted to recrult the companies, and the governor is expected o make another attempt to take the city hall by force. The police force is very much excited tonight by & rumor that the Bity hall will be attacked before morning and a strong guard is kept there under arms. on L O'Conno THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: PREPARING T0 PLAY BALL Omaha's End of the Western Association is Getting Tnto Fighting Condition, PLAYERS WILL BE HERE IN A FEW DAYS Ordered to Report in Time for Practice Be- the Fourteenth Contracts Building the Grand Stand Let Other Sports. fore The contract for building the new base ball grounds at the corner of:Seventeenth and Charles has been lot and a force of men will be put to work early tomorrow morning They will be completed in the course of ten days.

Since tho breweries had employed free labor in preference to union labor, the union had be- come greatly embittered against them, but the union had not been able, nor would they ever be able to coerce the managers of ‘the breweries into treating with them. “The free laborers are well pald and perfectly satisfied,” he said. “We do not expect any trouble with our workmen nor our customers, the and have no fear of the threats that have been made against us. piza® A Death of Frof.

The brother has not been seen since. Funeral services over the remains of A, C.

It is thought the posse finished him, as they will not talk and did not bring him with them when they returned to town.

C.,, March 31.—The bands of vigilantes who started out last night in pursuit of whisky spies returned this after- noon, having thoronghly beaten the bush for the governor's agenfs. They passed during the night within, hailing distance of thelr game, as the beaten tracks found in the morning showed, Bt all to no purpose. The sples are still at''large, and probably safely out of the radius of thesexcitement. All night, on horseback, and on foot, the search proceeded, until, overcome by weariness, the pursuers were comipelled to call off the chase. 3 At Muldrow’s mijll, about seven miles west of here, definite information of the. where- abouts of the spids was obtained. A citizen named Wiillams | pet nine spies and one white man, supposed to be thelr guard, in a swamp there. Hesbrought an offer of sur- render of the spie§ tb the vigilantes, who, at the time, were it {he mill. The pursued men affered to surrgnder thejrrarmerif given a guarantee of .safe conduct for their persons and @iso theip liberty. The sples, Willlams says, were to walt until 10 o'clock for a reply to be brought by him alone. ~ Willlams returned with an agreement from the pursuers, but found that the truce was to gain time 6 es- cape. The pursued men had all gone. Pur- sult of them was delayed by a lack of organ- ization and discipline in the band of pursu- ers. Every man wanted to have his way, and so much time was lost. Guards were finally sent by the vigilantes. A cordon was thrown around the swamp and men sent to beat. up the game, but daylight showed that the spies had slipped by the guard at a bridge and made oft. The remainder of the night was spent by the vigilantes in nearby towns, where they demolished the state bar- rooms. The Timmonsville dispensary was blown with powder. At Florence, Darlington and ather places, numbering seven in all, the vigilantes were content to smash everything breakable. They made a ruin of the state dramshops. ~ The floors of Tillman’s bar- rooms, when they got. through with them, were knee deep in broken glass, and liquor was flowing In streams through the streets. In Florence today there was much excite- ment, but no trouble occurred and the hours passed quietly. Some apprehension was felt when the governor ordered Clerk of Court McGowan to go into the conntry to sound the slogan and arm the faithful, but Mc- Gowan, after two or three attempts to get some other person o carry out the goevrnor's order, gave it up. Both political factions feel that the whole thing is the outgrowth of factional fights and political differences of the past few years, and have been mixing up on the streets today and discussing yesterday affaivs excitedly, at times, but in only two cases with an approach to a fight. About 4 o'clock the governor's proclama declaring Florence and Darlington in open rebellion was received here. For such a grave subject this is regarded as the best joke of the season, and the gov enemies compared it to papal bulls issued after the reformation excommunicating Chrls- tendom. The governor found twenty-three militiamen in_Bishopyille willing to obey his orders to go o, Darlinglon, and rushed them through hero son a special train to Darlington. Everytlifng being quiet there, they returned to BisHopville, but in no other way did he interfere with the business Before he acted, however, a speclal train had brought forty figllantes from Marys- ville. The governgp_ordered Sheriff McLen- don to send deputjes into the country and bring in armed bapds. The sherift did not consider this necqssary. He thinks all the trouble Is over.

Angry Vigilantes Ab up tion lor's UNRAY, APRIL 1, 1894-TWENTY 7 |_PAGES CASE OF SNALLPOX IN OMAH Patient is One of the Brakemen Attending the Wage Schedule Hearing. DR, SAVILLE SAYS IT IS A LIGHT ATTACK y'arty Removed to a Tent West of the City posed Persons Have Been Vacel nated - Declared There Is No Cause for Alarm. It the word of medical experts is to be relied on Omaha has a case of smallpox, and the question: ‘“‘Have you been vaccinated?' will probably be asked today by most of the men who are in the city attending the wage hearing in the federal court. A few days ago J. C. Woods, a brakeman, arrived in the city from Ellis, Kan. Mon- day morning he complained of feeling bad, but continued until yesterday morning to attend the meetings of the railway men and participate in the deliberations. Yesterday, however, he was compelled to take (o his bed and a physician was called. Dr. Jones, who attended, announced that he was unable to tell Just what atled the man, after which Health Commissioner Saville and his assist ant, Dr. Towne, were called. As soon as these gentlemen had made an {nvestigation they pronounced it a case of smallpox and a movement was at once put on foot to have Woods quarantined. Nono of the hospitals would allow the man to enter, and then an attempt was made to rent a vacant houss. All of the efforts in this direction were without success, the owners stating that they would sell, but would not rent thefr buildings for emergency hospital purposes. As a last resort a large tent was purchased and set up on the brick yard site, on the poor farm, about one-half mile from the county hospital. To this tent Woods was removed in the afternoon, where he was made as comfortable as possible, re- ceiving cire and medical attendance. WHAT DR. SAVILLE SAYS Health Commissioner Saville, when asked about the case last night, said: ‘'Dr. Jones came to see me this morning about it, saying that he had a case that was very suspicious, and wanted me to go and look at it. As soon as I saw It 1 knew it to be a case of smallpox, and at once set about making ar- rangements to get it away and to take pre- cautions against any further spread of it. I thought we had a pest housc already secured in the western part of the city, but soon as the owners found that we wanted to move a case of smallpox there they objected and went back on all previous arrangements. They wanted to sell us the house for $1,500, but we didn’t have time to do any dickering about it then, so I bought a tent and some lumber and had a place fixed up near the southwest corner of the poor farm, and moved the man out there at 6 o'clock this afternoon. ~ We took along the bed and everything, and then we carefully fumigated and _disinfected the house. As near as I could find out, about twenty-five persons had been exposed In one way and another, and we rounded them up and disinfected and vaccinated them? There may be some further outbreak of the disease, but there is no oc- casion for any alarm. This is not a serious case. It is really a case of varioloid, for the man had been vaccinated, and he has a very light attack. I examined him, and of ail the pustules on his body I do mot think that more than two or three will leave a mark. He got up, and after we had wrapped him up he walked down to the express wagon that we had secured, and after getting out to the tent he walked 1n and sat down until his bed was in readiness. His fever has left him and he eats and Is getting along nicely. It is only a question now of a little time and careful nursing. I secured Dorsey Houck as nurse, for he has had a great deal of ex- perience in that line. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. ‘The man told me that he was a brake- man, and 1 inferred that he was out of a Job.” e said he had been in Kansas, and feft there about ten days ago and went over into lowa near Creston, and came here last Saturday. He had not been feel- ing well for a day or two before he got here, and had quife a fever last Saturday. He did not have a doctor called until Mon- day. Today 1 found the disease well along and the pustules were well advanced. It is not strange that so many doctors are not famillar with smallpox, as it Is not a common disease, and I will venture to say that not half of the physicians In this city ever saw a case of it. 1 have been called on at least a dozen times during the past month to look at cases that the attending physicians thought suspicious, but this is the first one of smallpox that I have found among them. 1 went through several epi- demics of it while with the army on the plains, und suppose I have treated at least 200 cases of it, besides having had it my- sell. People get needlessly scared about it, principally “because they don’t know much about it. It is no worse than diph- theria, nor in fact as bad, but folks don't get scared by whole communities about diphtheria as “they do over smallpox. It is rarely communicated except by contagion with the person affected, and it fs not difficult to guard against its spread. Vaccination s mot a sure preventative, but it insures a light attack if the person takes the disease, just as is the case in this instance. So far as tents are concerned, 1 would rather have a smallpox patlent In a tent than in a house. It can be kept warm enough, and at the same time it is easier to keep the patient covered up, and there is an abundance of fresh air, which Is better for the patient and more plaasant for those around him, for such cases are rather disagrecable at best. We located the tent In a rather-out- of-the-way place, where none will pass, and in a couplo of weeks the patlent ought to be all right again, as the disease runs about three weeks. Cases of exposure ought to develop in eight or nine days, if they are going Lo amount to anythin Assistant City Physician Towne, in speak- ing of the matter last night, said that he had examined Woods yesterday morning and had pronounced it a case of well developed smallpox. The man had broken out and a number of pits were upon his face and body. He had ordered the apartment oceupied by Woods closed and fumigated. Later in the day he had ordered all of the inmates of the house vaccinated in order to prevent a gpread of the disease ‘WOES OF THE NEWLY MARRIED. by & Young Man Who Tried to Do & Plumber's Work. ney were young married folk and were waking us & Sunday afterncon call.

BAST LIVERPOOL, O, March 31 (8pecial Telegram to The Hee)This city has practically been in the hands of a violent mob of striking potters all the evening. Mayor Mor! and the city police have been powerless to preserve order, Four hundred drunken and fn furiated men have been uring the streets, attacking men who have gone to work. About 8 o'clock a man named *'Waddie' Cook, who is working at the McNichol Pottery company's plant, was pursued by the strikers and captured after chase of five or six blocks. He wu beaten, and finally taken home by friends. A little later a Trenton man named Thomas ( elll, who came here since the pregent trouble began and started to work at the McNichol works, was attacked, He was accompanied by his wife, and the erowd surrounded him on one of the prin clpal stre of the city Mrs, O'Neill fainted and was carried into a neighbor- ing hotel, while the police arrived and ordered the mob to disperse. The strikers left the scene, but did not disper: and pursued seven othe nonunion men at different times during the evening. All the other victims escaped without in- Jury, although several were made the tar- Rets for ugly missiles, A man named Gray, with his wife, sought the protection of the police, and the two were accompitnied to their home in the suburbs by Chief of Po- lice Gill, Mayor Morley and two officers. On several oceasions the mob attempted to surround them. A packer named Ashbaugh, employed by the Knowles, Taylor & Knowles company, also ran a foot ce with the wd and took refuge in a lodge room. Hostile dem- onstrations were also made toward several of the manufacturers who appeared on the streets. The men quietly dispersed about 11 o'clock. No arrests have been made as yet. At a mass meeting of potters, which was n progress at the Grand opera house dur- ing the evening, resolutions were passed strongly condemning the actions of the crowd. SRS State Electric Contract. The state of New York has made the greatest contract with a corporation ever proposed when it presented to the Cataract General Electric company, which is merely a branch of the Niagara Power company, the right of way along the canals of the state to lay conduits, string wires or other- wise transmit the immense electric current generated by Niagara falls. The contract allows the company to string wires, build conduits, build a traction road for can propulsion and establish central power st tions at such polnts as they deem necessary along the line of all the canals and on ail canal lands. It also authorizes cables, co duits and subways to be constructed. Th: may, according to the contract, use such electricity distributed not only for canal propulsion, but for light, heat and power to such points as they please. In return, the company is to furnish to the state to each and every canal lock such electrical installa- tion as will operate motors to open and close the locks, and electric lights sufficient to light each lock. The company must con- clude its work inside of three years. When it is complete the company must furnish electricity for the propulsion of canal boats at a rate not to exceed $20 per electri horse power for the season of navigation. s Movements of Seagoin Vessels March 31 At San Francisco — Arrived — Matilda Cleared—Montserrat, for Naniamo; Fingal, for Hull; Levi G, Burgess, for Chignik b James A.
