EIGHT YEftHS GfllEF
J. DUDLEY COXDIT AGAIN HONORED
BY THE ORDER OF RAILWAY
CONDUCTORS.
M. N. GOSS ALSO RE-ELECTED
SECRETARY AND TREASURER,
WHICH POSITION HE HAS
FILLED FOR YEARS
SIGNS OF PROSPERITY FOUND
In the Fact That tlie Members of
the Local Division Are All Em
ployed Xotv.
At the eighteenth annual meeting of
St. Paui Division No. 40, Order of Rail
way Conductors, held at Bowlby hall
yesterday afternoon, the following offi
cers were elected for the ensuing year:
Chief conductor, J. D. Condit; assistant
chief conductor, Hugh Malloy; secre
tary and treasurer, M. N. Goss; senior
conductor, R. C. Collison; junior con
ductor, H. D. Powers; inside sentinel,
John Murphy; outside sentinel, J. M.
Feeney; division and financial commit
tee, H. W. Field, chairman; Thomas
E. Leonard, James Cardie; correspond
ent, J. C. McCall.
George M. Miles, chief conductor of
the Minneapolis Division of Railway
Conductors, occupied the chair during
the election, while the installation cere
monies were conducted by George Hun
saker, past chief conductor of the local
division.
The election was remarkable for the
unanimity of choice for the respective
offices. J. D. Condit has been chief
conductor of the local divison for the
past seven years and received his
eighth selection to the highest office
within the gift of the organization as
J. DIDLEY CONDIT,
For Eight Years Chief of Railway Conductor*.
a complete ratification of his former
administrations. M. N. Goss has look
ed after the active work of Division
No. 40 so long that the rotation in of
fice principle was entirely lost sight of
when it came to filling the vacancy
created by the expiration of his present
term, and he was unanimously chosen
10 be secretary and treasurer for the
seventh consecutive year. H. W. Field
was elected to a fifth term as chali
man of the financial committee, while
Thomas E. Leonard, a member of this
body for the past four years, was also
re-elected.
The chief order of business was a
general discussion of the proposed con
federation board of all the railroad
brotherhood organizations. The plait
purposes a joint board composed of
the grand officers of the Order of Rail
way Conductors, Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, Brotherhood of Rail
way Telegraphers and Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, whosep rovlnce
it shall be to adjust grievances of mem
bers of any of the above named organi
zations, when the same shall be?
brought before the confederation board
by the proper process. The establish
ment of a board of confederation does
not bring about an amalgamation of
the various divisions represented, and
each will be a distinct organization as
heretofore, except in the matter of self
protection, when the forces of all will
be joined to support any one divisioh.
After a thorough consideration, Su
Paul Division No. 40 heartily Indorsed
the plan and voted its ratification. This
means that the proposed confederation
will become a part of the railroad op
eratives' protective system, as every
separate order has now ratified the
plan except the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, and everywhere the
plan has been considered the word of
Chief Arthur has been given that the
engineers would ratify the movement
at their grand division meeting in May.
As showing the progress being made
in the care of its members, the action
of the meeting in voting $125 to the
disabled railroad employes' home at
Highland Park, 111.. {3 significant, The
home is an_lnst't*ation of which, all
railroad operatives are proud, and the
voluntary contributions of local divis
ions throughout the country, that of
St. Paul division being among the first
for this humane cause, mark the sub
stantial growth of railroad employes'
organizations. ,
The report of Secretary and Treas
urer Goss showed the local division
of railway conductors to be In excel
lent condition, both in regard to
finances and to membership. The roll
is but a few names below the highest
number ever recorded by Division No.
40, and there Is a substantial sum In
the bank. The report was a cause of
congratulation among the members, as
it showed that all railroad conductors
were now working and running full
time, an indication of business and
trade revival which, in addition to its
results of regularly employing the
railroad operatives evidences a trend
towards the "good time" so long await
ed by the country at large.
After the business session, the mem
bers of the organization, with their
guests, of whom there were fifty vis
iting representatives of railway^ em
ployes' associations through the state
present, adjourned to the Merchants'
hotel dining room, where the annual
THE SAINT PAUJC GLOBE: MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1597.
banquet, an honored institution of St.
Paul division, was enjoyed. Three
long tables arranged in oblong order
with a seating capacity for 125 were
completely filled. At the head table
sat Chief Conductor Condit, as toast
master, while the other newly-elected
oiiicers divided the honors on his eith
er side. During the discussion of an
elaborate course dinner, the Twin City
Mandolin and Guitar club delighted
the guests with a number of choice
musical selections from a raised plat
form near the head table. The height
of congeniality prevailed at the festive
board, and, when the discussion of the
menu' was concluded, a number of
toasts assigned by Chief Conductor
Condit added to the pleasure of the
occasion by the timely responses. Fol
lowing the formalities, mirth, jest and
speech-making of short duration pass
ed the time all too quickly until the
midnight hour bade the trainmen seek
their homes.
ST. PALL FOLKS SIEGED.
Several Had Clowe Calls at tne Hotel
Dacotah.
A dozen or m*y:e of the guests at the
Hotel Dacotah at Grand Forks, which
was destroyed by fire early Friday
morning, were St. Paulltes. Of tha
number nearly all were traveling pas
senger agents for various railroads,
and the families and relatives of the
gentlemen who were known to be at
Grand Forks last Thursday were great
ly worried until telegrams were re
ceived announcing that they were all
safe.
H. S. Collins, traveling agent foe the
Omaha road, who was at the hotel the
night it burned, telegraphed his wife
Friday morning that he was all right, j
and yesterday Mrs. Collins received a !
letter from her husband stating that j
he had managed to save all his per- j
sonal effects, and was out of the hotel !
before there was any Immediate dan- I
ger. He explained in the letter that
he was on the third floor of the hotel,
and, his room being near a stairway,
he made his way out without serious j
trouble.
G. J. Lovell, traveling agent for the j
Wabash line, in a letter to his sister
received Saturday says the fire was a
terrible one, and he saw more excite
ment in the short space of half an
hour than he had ever before experi- :
enced. Mr. Lovell was on the second
floor of the hotel, and for
tunately for him had his
overcoat in his room. He was
aroused by the smoke and cries of fire,
and, hastily dressing, threw his satchel
out of the window and then hurried
to a fire escape. The smoke which
filled the hall of the hotel was suffo
cating, and those of the guests who
were obliged to make their exit by
the fire escapes were put through aw
ful tortures. The night was bitter o/d,
and for fifteen miiuites, which seemed
like that number of hours, a number
of the guests, including half a dozen
women, were obliged to remain stand
ing on the iron fire escape w r aiting
until ladders could be procured to take
them .down from the second story of
the building. As nearly all the guests,
as well as the help employed Jn the
hotel, were clad only in their night
clothes, their sufferings can be im
agined. Guests on the third and fourth
floors, Mr. Lovell writes, were obliged
to get wet towels and hold to their
faces in order to save themselves from
being overcome by the smoke.
A gentleman who was at the hotel at
the time of the flre and w r ho reached
St. Paul yesterday said the burning of
the hotel was one of the most exciting
experiences he had ever been through.
He was sleeping on the second floor
and was aroused by the noise and smell
of smoke. The hotel people, he said,
claimed that the alarm bells in each
room had been sounded, but, if such
was the case, which he doubted, he
did not hear the one in his room. The
flre, which started at 4 o'clock, burned
rapidly, and before 6 o'clock the hotel
and the block in which it started were
completely destroyed. The cold was
intense, the thermometer registering 28
below, and, as about forty persons, in
cluding the guests and help, escaped
from the building in their night clothes,
the scene, he said, could be better
imagined than described. On the fourth
or fifth floor of the hotel were ten
members of the "Woman In Black '
company, which included four or five
women. Owing to some delay In pro
curing ladders to connect with the flre
escape, which stopped at the second
floor, the members of the company
were kept standing on the Iron flre
escape for some minutes. The result
was that the hands and feet of some*
of the guests were badly frozen, and
as they descended the flesh from their
hands and feet was torn from the
members and left sticking to the iron
steps. The half-clad and almost frozen
persons were cared for In neighboring
hotels and buildings and furnished with
clothing. Those who had thrown their
effects and clothing from the windows
of the rooms before leaving the build
ing were to nuniej-c-us instances ga ba£
ly off aS those who made no effort to
save anything 1 , for nearly everything
that reached the ground was either
lost or stolen. The flre, the gentleman
said, started a sufficient distance away
from the hotel to have afforded ample
time for all the guests to have been
notified and to have escaped without
any trouble or difficulty, but in the ex
citement the hotel people lost their
heads, and this caused all the trouble.
As he was informed, the hotel proper
connected with the building In which
the flre started by a hallway which was
not in use, and this accounted for the
hostelry filling up with smoke so
quickly.
W. B. Dlxon, agent for the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, -who
was given as a guest at the hotel at
the time of the flre, seen yesterday,
said he left the house Thursday night,
and was not In Grand Forks at the
time. The family of Thomas P. Hast
ings, traveling agent for the Chicago,
Burlington & Northern, who was also
stated to have been in the hotel at the
time of the fire, received a letter Sat
urday -which conveyed the information
that he left Grand Forks Thursday
plait.
The following were the Twin City people at
the hotel when It burned: St. Paul— P. W.
Clark, B. J. Shaughmeasy; O. J. Lovell, H. J.

BIG BLAST AT KETTLE RIVER.
Work on tlie Rock for tho Capitol
In Progress.
The Pine County Courier says the
Sandstone quarries are employing over
100 men every day. Thirty of these
are stone cutters''- and eight more* are
paving cutters. This force will be kept
at work during the "winter, if the
i weather permits, and It is quite prob
able that, from "Hhe present outlook,
: some additions Will have to be made.
This week the work on a Keokuk, 10.,
building will be finished, and work
will be pushed on the capitol job,
though nothing of that will be shipped
until after the first of the year. In
1 fact, a few cars of this latter are al
j ready cut and piled up in the yard.
A big blast was made in the quarry
on the 11th, and a block of fifteen
feet wide by as many thick and lack
ing only a couple of feet of being 100
feet long, containing over 22,000 cubic
feet, which would load more than 100
cars, was moved more than four feet
: from its ancient resting place by six
and three-quarters kegs of black pow
der. This feat was accomplished
through the successful operation of
the Knox system of blasting in use
in the quarry. It cracks the blocks
out as square as though hewn out by
a woodman's ax. It Is one of the sur
prises that greets the eyes of one un
acquainted on the first visit to the
quarry. The huge block lies just below
the stripping at the back and about
the middle of the quarry and just above
the monster blast made last August
which contained 2,000 feet more stone j
than this one. The blast of last sum- |
mer has not been touched nor will it !
be for some time, though the work of j
quarrying the stone just moved into |
blocks of six or eight feet square is I
already well under way.
WARDEN WOLFER DENIES
That He Tried to Get Rogan to
Swear Falaely.
"I noticed this morning," said War
den Wolfer to aGI o b c correspondent
yesterday, "that Moshik, who is in jail
in Minneapolis, awaiting execution for
murder, makes a statement in which
he claims that he was offered a parole
provided he would take the stand for
the state in the case of James Rogan
convicted of an assault upon Guard J
Martin Powers. This is untrue, and
has no foundation whatever. On the
contrary he was anxious to testify
against Rogan apd carrie to me person
ally offering to take the stand for 'the
state. I knew him to be a habitual
liar and in fairness to Rogan I refused
to use his testimony, which would have
been very damaging. Moshik's appli
cation for parole, as well as that of Ro
gan, had been denied by the board of
managers before the assault occurred.
Rogan was allowed all the convict tes
timony in his defense that ha desired,
ard the board of nranag«rs also allowed
him to spend his good time earnings in
paying his attorney's fee. I simply
make this statement in order that the
public may know the truth of the mat
ter."
Rogan's attorney was Judge J. C.
Nethaway.

IJI SIGHT Of A GITY
MINNIE SCHtLTZ IS ROBBED IN
DAYLIGHT ON THE II ALL. AVE
KIE STAIRS.
BOLDEST OF ALL ROBBERIES
PERPETRATED IN THE CITY IN
YEARS STIRS SIXTH WARD TO
ITS DEPTHS.
TRIED TO KEEP IT IX THE DARK,
But the Awful Secret Darned Its
Way Oat at Last— No Cine to the
Desperado.
The boldest hold-up perpetrated by
the gang of local highwaymen since
the reign of terror began nearly two
years ago occurred Friday morning,
j Dec. 12, when in broad daylight Miss
; Minnie Schultz, a domestic employed
: by C. B. Nebinger, 138 West Robie
street, was held up at the point of a
\ revolver on the high steps leading from
! Wabasha street to Hall avenue, and
j robbed of a purse containing $5.
; Frightened almost into hysterics by
the audacity of the highwayman, Miss
Schultz plainly saw a number of
\ teams and pedestrians pass within a
| few feet of her on Wabasha street,
but with the cold muzzle of the revol
ver pressed against her temple was
compelled to remain quiet under penai
j ty of her life, as the highwayman
| threatened to blow her brains out at
I the first outcry. The fact of the rob
-1 bery shows the streets are not safe
! to defenseless women even during the
j busiest hours of the day and has caus
ed no little concern in police circles,
and every effort was made to keep the
daring hold-up from the public. Fol
lowing closely upon a series of bui
glaries on the West side, the hold-up
has created a state of terror among
residents of that section of the city,
causing women to venture from their
homes in fear and trembling, while tho
men hurry home at night, fearful lest
their families have been the victims of
some of the daring criminals at worn
in the city.
Miss Schultz was confronted by tht
bold highwayman shortly before 10
o'clock, while going on an errand for
her employer. She had been dispatched
to make a purchase at a Wabasha.
street butcher shop and took the usual
route from her place of employment
down the high steps. "When about half- i
way down the stairway she heard some \
one coming up, but thought nothing of ;
the presence of another person on the
stairs, as the steps are traveled by a
large number of people every day. She
soon saw that the person approaching
was a man, and, as she sought to pass
him, was startled when he suddenly j
seized her wrists and demanded her I
money. Miss Schultz is a plucky girl, I
and, though clutching the purse in her j
hand, declared she had no money and i
tried to free herself from the tough's
grasp. There was a short scuffle, during
which the girl hoped every moment
some one would come along and fright
en her assailant away, but the high
wayman was determined in his pui-
pose and, angered at Miss Schultz's re
sistance, with an oath whipped an
ugly-looking revolver from his pocket,
declaring he would kill her unless she
gave up the purse. The sight of the
weapon caused the girl to fall back
with a half-stifled scream, when the
footpad clutched her hand containing
the purse, and with the weapon press
ed hard against her head took the
money from her nerveless fingers.
Warning the girl not to move until
she heard him leave the upper plat
form of the staircase, the highwayman
added to her terror by brandishing the
revolver several times in her face, and
proceeded up the steps. At each land
ing he peered over at the frightened
young woman and malevolently pointed
the revolver at her crouching figure to
enforce the silence he had commanded.
When the tough's footsteps ceased
above her head, Miss Schultz ran to
Wabasha street and informed a po
liceman of her experience. A search
was made for the bold highwayman,
but no trace of him could be found.
Miss Schultz gave a good description
of the thug. She says he was a man
of about forty-five years of age, ill
clad, rather tall and slender, with a,
repulsive face covered with a stubby
growth of beard, the latter, with his
hair, being partially gray.
Mr. Nebinger, who is a loyal Repub
lican and clerk of the probate court,
has been moved by his fealty to the
party and to his neighbors, the mayor
and chief of police, to talk as little as
possible about the matter, but the as
sault and robbery was so terribly bold
that it could not even be kept a neigh
borhood secret, and the entire resi
dence section of the West side, espe
cially on the bluff, is paralyzed with
fear of a repetition of the crime.
ALL HER SAVINGS GONE.
Freda Kulknl's Money Is Stolen
Frontn Her Room,
Early evening burglars accomplished
a neat job at the home of G-eorge Som
ers. over his saloon at Seventh and
Sibley streets, shortly after 8 o'clock
Saturday night, when his housekeeper.
Miss Freda Kulkui, was robbed of $100
in cash, every cent of her savings for
some years. Miss Kulkui saya the
money was all she had in the world and
cried bitterly yesterday while telling
what little she knew of the robbery, as
she says it leaves her destitute. She
mourns the loss of the money more
particularly at this time as her
employer Is about to g-o out of business,
when her occupation will be gone.
The money was stolen from under the
pillow of Miss Kulkui's bed, after the
thieves had gained entrance to the
apartments by cutting out a panel of
the door and sliding a catch bolt.
Miss Kulkui says she thinks the rob
bery must have been committed by
someone familiar with the living apart
ments over the saloon. She left her
room shortly after 8 o'clock to make
several purchases before the stores
closed, and returning an hour later
found her apartments in disorder and
the money missing. An examination
showed that the robbers had with some
sharp instrument neatly cut a piece
out of the door panel near the catch
bolt, large enough to reach through and
unlock the door. Mr. Somers was en
gaged In the saloon at the time, but he
says he heard nothing during his house
keeper's absence to denote the presence
of Intruders up stairs. The hallway
leading to the living apartments opens
on Sibley street, but this was locked
by Miss Kulkui in leaving the place,
and was undisturbed upon her return.
The Sibley street entrance to the sa
loon Is immediately adjoining thds door,
however, and by a pretense at going
into the saloon the burglars could have
reached the upstairs by entering this
door and quickly opening an unlocked
sliding door between the rear of the
saloon and the hallway leading to the
living apartments. It is believed that
the burglars must have been upstairs
some time, as Miss Kulkui's room had
been thoroughly searched as shown by
the confusion In which the contents
were found and a number of burned
matches about the floor. The robbery
was reported to the police.

Chairman Caldwell So Not Hied the
Local Promoters of the Meet
ing; Yesterday.
Although live stock growers are not
blind to the usefulness of good grass,
the council of arrangements lor the
American Live Stock Feeders and
Breeders' convention at St. Paul, mi
Jan. 11 and 13 next, is not letting grass
grow under its feet these days.
The office of the council has been a
scene of activity all th week. A corps
of clerks have been &c work addressing j
and mailing the circular uf information
and invitation to stockmen all over the
country'; over 3,000 of these have been
st-nt out, but the council finds it im
possible to secure the addresses of all
interested in stock raising and wishes
every one interested in the live stock
industry to come anyway.
Personal letters have accompanied
the invitation to the president and sec
retary of every live stock association
asking for the appointment of twenty
delegates from every association, and'
the directors and faculty of all state
agricultural experiment stations have
received invitations to attend, as well
as hundreds of farmers and bree Eers
and feeders all over the country. In
addition the council issues a public in
vitation to all persons interested in the
live stock industry to be present as full
delegates, the only requirement being
that they report their names and ad
dresses to the secretary on the day of
arrival.
A low round trip rate will be given
from all Eastern and tmns-Mi.-\s.>uri
territory to the convention, Chairman |
U. D. ' Caldwell, of the Western Lines
Passenger association, having notified
the council of the arrangements to that
effect yesterday. The council has the
full co-operation of home railroads in
making the convention a success and
it is expected that the rates from points
west and northwest of St. Paul,
be announced this week, will enable the
thousands of stock raisers and farmers
interested In stock raising in Wisconsin,
Illinois, lowa, Minnesota the Uakotas,
Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and other states
to come In a body.
The proceedings of the convention
will be exceedingly valuable to begin
ners in stock raising, for they will be
practical in their nature, dealing with
points which every stock raiser has to \
meet with in actual experience.such as j
the type of stock to breed to meet the j
market demands, the proper variety of
foods to make the best distribution of
bone and flesh, and how to feed the •
same Another important subject will j
be on marketing live stock, and the
council will arrange for talks from
practical packers and shippers upon this
subject.
One of the things to be considered
will be upon the question of a perma
nent international organization repre
senting all breeds of horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep, and it is probable that such
a committee will be appointed during
the first day's session, to consist of a
representative from each live stock as
sociation present in order that every
interest will have a proper representa

several years past thousands
of farmers have newly engaged in the

deliberations of the convention will be
of the greatest importance in outlin

raising and marketing of live stock.
It is hoped that the result of the de
liberations of the convention will be
to cause the formation of a national
organization to represent the live stock
interests. The discussions of the con
vention will be limited strictly to mat
ters affecting the live stock industry.
It is respectfully requested that all per
sons intending to be present will kindly

number, Boieldieu's overture. "Ln
Dame Blanche," was ttie gem of th •

capacity of a small orchestra. The en
core extended was merited. The "Re
ttard" waltz, by Fahrbach. which fol
lowed, was also repeated in part,
though It can scarcely be said that a
repetition was demanded.
