RESTRAINING PORTION OF THE WRIT. “The restraining portion of the writ com plained of and now under consideration prohibited these men from combining and conspiring (o quit this service with the ohject and intent of crippling the property of the company and embarrassing the op tion of the road and from earrying that con spiracy into effect. The writ was in pro- vention of the mischief asserted. In no respect, as I eonceive, does that portion of the writ interfere with individual liberty “In the case under consideration the re coivers sought to change the terms and con ditions of service. The cmployes had, of course, the right to decline service upon the terms proposed. Notwithstanding the public eharacter of the service, upon notification of their declination at a time prior to January | 4 1894, reasonable in view of the service in Wiitel they were engaged, they had the un- doubted right to abandon their employment upon that day. That, however, is not the case presented o and dealt with by the court, Nor does the rectitude of the writ of injunction rest upon any merc right of the employes ingood faith to abandon their em ployment. The restraint imposed was with reference to combining and conspiring to abandon the service with the object and in rent of crippling the property. Its office was to restrain the carrying into effect of the mspiracy. “The sccond branch of the motion has ref- nee to the writ of injunction issued upon 10 supplemental application of recelvers ro- wining any combination or conspiracy hav- for its purpose the inauguration of a strike on the lines of the railroads operated by the receivers, and from ordering, advising or approving by communication or instruc- tion, or otherwite, the cmployes of the re- celvers to join in a strike. This part of the motion” presents the issue whether a strike is lawful. The answer must largely depend upon the proper definition of the tegm.” The judge then w the ra employed In somo. 12,000 ope men conrt their ! and fol to continue ployment; force and di fr ol %0 ol be st th re R W il I ad of e st ti W T tl Ju cited the various defini- v heard until et acterized by the organiz such | dire organizat hy organization tions disgui rantabl intimidation, hended heads recommending or advising a sirike or join- ing in a to dulged explicit, my that clause Boatne Boatner, mittee to investigate the anti-strike injunc- decision as may Jenkins' is not affected by make, who introduced the resolution, has already left THE_OMAHA DAILY BEE: ¢ 91 TWELVE PAGES.

An English NogMEE futeoduced In New York. The Consolidated Gas company of New York, the Sun reBdrt< will introduce in the lower part of the fawn this week a pay-as you-burn, or rathtf hily-before-you-burn, gas meter, modelled ‘o “the principle of the familiar nickel#h-a-slot machine, The meter is chiefly ffor jthe use of persons whose scanty fneomes oblige thom to buy everything in small quantities. The meter will - accordingly e 'placed in tenements, although any gas”cotkumer who wants one may have it The meter has been in use in England for some time. It was introduced to popularizo the use of gas. among the poor. There the dropping of a penny (2 cents) In the slot the gas going. Here a quarter is to be used to produce this effect. This will pay for 200 feet of pas, sufficlent to supply a four-foot burner fitty honrs. If the con sumer wants o pay all at once for more than that supply of gas, all he has to do {8 to drop in a proportionate number of quarters. Five quarters, for example, will pay for 1,000 fect of gas The quarter-in-u-slot gas meter Is con structed like an ordinary meter, so far as measuring the gas fs concerned, with a metal addition at the side having a slot big enough for a quarter, and containing the machinery which regulates the mo ment of the hand controlling the supply ot [ The dropping in of a quarter sets in_motion, and when the hand ached the 200 feet limit, It goes back to the starting point and cuts off the gas. The gas consumer, in addition to thus hav- ing the supply under his own control—if he doesn't use gas he doesn't have t for any—is not hothered with bills, fc quarters dropped in the machine are col lected by the company's men once a month or oftener without giving him trouble. The danger of some one else collecting the quar- ters I8 not great, for the consumer will be responsible for the meter not being tam pered with. “Tn the same way, if he drops in_counterfeit quarters, he will be held liable Although there chines in use in Liv and nearly a proportionate number cities, but half a dozen instances of the slot-box being robbed have been known liere, to be sure. the booly being in pen- nies, would not be' so large as a similar haul in fuis count The introduction of the pay-as-you-burn machine has increased the consumption of gas in England, which was restricted by the requirement of a deposit by the companies too large for the poorer consumers to pay. The new meter does away with the deposit, besides enabling the consumer to use only what he is able to pay for at the time. This meter costs half as much again as the old, but the Consolidated Gas company ex- pects to increase its trade suficiently to re- coup it for the increased cost. The machines it will nse are made in this country. The company will be the first to use the quarter- in-a-slot mieter in the United States. It is expected that the gas companies of other ties will find it to their advantage to intro- duce It among their poorer clients and that ifs use will in time hecome general. At any rate, it is belleved that the ordinary meter will, before very long, be replaced by the slot ones in the teffements of this town. egro taken sots are 12,000 of these ma- rpool, 14,000 in London 1 other LATTER DAY SAINTS, Sixty-Fourth Annijul Coni e ce Now in Ses- wion it Salt Lan SALT LAKE, April 6.—The sixty annual conferencg of the Church of Christ of the Latier, Day Saints cony in the tabernacle today.

The arguments here make themselves unanswerable, unless these statistics are shown to he wrong und other and different statisties shown to be right. 1t will be made plain beyond all room for controversy, in this volume, that much of the hardest fighting of the war was between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, and the figures in this volume will show that the infantry regiments from the castern states did the hardest fighting in the union army. They also prove that the confederacy succumbed by the - exhaustion of Lee's army, and are an emphatic com- ment upon the idlencss of any military theory that a different conduct of campalgn or other tactics than those actually adopted would hiave ended the war before the forces of the confederacy were destroyed. They demonsirate, (oo, that, ‘like other civil war: which have been prolonged far beyond the point where one nation would lave ac- knowledged itself beaten by another, the war for the union had to be fought out to the end, Many of the revelations in this Important volumie will astonish the reade The tables of deaths and wounds that are given meas- ure the actual fighting as nothing else can, They carry conviction toward a reversal of Judgment founded merely upon general claims, One thing clearly shown is the overshadowing fmportance of the battles of Gettysburg und Chickamauga, the greatost battles the confederate and union army, east and west, ever fought, The losses in these engagements prove how much fiercer was the fighting in these battles than it was before or ever was again hetween the two armies engaged during the wa On the other hund, other battles which have made mili- fary reputations sink significance. Meade for instance, lose of these statistics. North Carolina troops excites the admiration, and Pennsylvania, whi more in killed and wounded in proportion to the number of its troops than any northern state, can well send greeting to North Caro- lina, whose soldiers at Gettysburg did the hardest fighting on the other side, over the happy reunion of the present yoars, In the union armies there were, in all, 2800 regiments, not including the three or SiX months’ men. The union infantry regi- ment which suffered the greatest loss in bat- tle during the war was the Fifth New Hamp- shire, which in four years of service lost 20 men_ killed or mortally wounded in a-tion, including cighteen officers. The Eighty- third Pennsylvania infantry comes next.

Aside from the great importarice of the stratogic issues of Meade's vietory at Gettys- burg and the fact that both armies ther were at their hest in point of discipline, the tables of the losses in each battle of the war show that Gettysburg stood ahead in that respect of all other battles of the war fought by the Army of the Potomac and that t Northern Virginia.

This work teaches the Importance of prompt regimental reports, and the United tates military academy should now take steps to prevent carefessness in this respect in the next war on the part of regimental commanders. A regimental count should be made before going into action, and the casualty list properly classified and pr pared. HIS FIRST FIGHT T have always maintained that men, who are sald to be insensible 1o tear, are not brave men in the proper acceptation of the term And that reminds me, that while I hay heard of such men, I can not recall ever hav ing met ome, Some men have more self command than others, and 8o can disguise their feelings, but it is entirely unnatural to y that any man in full strength and health could face fnstant death unmoved, or if there ever was such a_man aptain Harry Hamilton in the New York Advertiser, it fs safe to say there was a defect in his mental make-up, A lot of new the Sop- regiments joined us in Kentucky campaign against Bragg, in tember, 1862, We veterans of a year or more were inclined to laugh at the green men, all of them as brave as ourselves, who had only been mustered in a few weck and who wore paper collars and carried themselves like peddlers' packs It was the night before Perryville; it was mid-October, and the roads were ankle-deep in dust and all the wells and crecks had gone dry. T was acting temporarily on the staff of General “Jim" Jackson, a gallant Kentuck- fan killed in that fight, and 1 became ac- auainted with a young officer of the Thirty third Ohlo, whom I shall call Gordon—though that was not his name. He was a strikingly handsome fellow, fresh from college, and as I could see by his smooth fair fac not at all sure of himself. Gordon's reglment was in SHI's brigade, poor Sill was afterward killed at Stone River, and I took an order there just on the eve of the fight. Although about my own age, Gordon regarded me as his senjor many years, After our introductior showed a great anxiety to learn what man's feelings were in battl nd If T had ever seen any man run who afterwards turned out to be brave. By the light of the®amp fire T conld gee that the young man was very pale and nervous, and I understood his feclings per- fectly, and tried to impress him with the beliet that after the first “skeew,” he'd feel all right, though T must confess this was not my own experience, Perryville was a fight to remember. next morning I was so placed that 1 quently saw Gordon, and T made up that he was going to show the white fe He looked Itke a ghost and there wi of awful anxiety in his eyes, was posted behind a stone YOUng man was repeatedly stomach.

In_the advance Gordon acted like a drunken man, and as T watched Lim out of sight [ expected to see him fall, but o kept on with the line. 1 saw him again the next morniug. He was on a stretcher with a bullet wound in his right breast. He recog- nized me and was barely able to speak. 1n response to my question, he pointed with a smile to his breast and gasped: It struck me here.” Poor fellow, he wanted me to know he was hit in front. He recovered from his wound and subsequently served with distinction, but I regard his going into that Perryville fight at all as a splendid exhibition of true courage, for he folt sure he was going to death, | UNDER IIREZ AT SHILOH.

I was partially dazed, and-the full force of the situation did not impress me at the time. As I reached the bottom of the hill 10 entered the camp of the cavalry, the artlllery seemed (o have a cross fire, and at short range was ®wespiig the ground with canister. The enemy was active, and the musketry fire was awiul; the striking of the balls on the Sibley tents of the cavalry camp gave out a short, cutting sound that terrified me. The siriking of the shot on the ground threw up a little cloud of dust, and the falling of men all around me im- pressed me with a desire to get far away. I recolleet that the hafr now commenced (o rise on the back of my head, and was soon standing straight up, and I felt sure that a cannon ball was close behind me, giving me chase as I started for the river.

Having cscaped from the cannon ball, 1 soon found myself in company with a stal- wart young Irishman, belonging to the Fifteenth lowa, who was blackencd with battle smoke, and his gun showed that he had been in ‘the fight. I asked him where he was going. He replied with considerable earnestuess, “Hack, be jabers!” He said there was too much mixing of the gray with the blue at the front for him NOW INTERISCO, s Clty OMlcials Taking in (1 tions of tho Midwinfer Fair, SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.
