TEHRIi HAUTE. July 12. The Big Four had new switchmen and new switch-engine crews in the yard to-day and Kent out several freight trains. The new men wore badges as deputy United States raar-ehals. but these did not save them from the Jeers of the crowd of several hundred strikers and sympathizers who followed them while they worked.

The freight trains sent east were captured by miners at Fontanet, a few miles out, where they were sidetracked. Five deputy United States marshals were sent there this evening, but were not ab'i to secure th release of the trains. The operators who own the mines at Fontanet say the act of to-day was on the part of a comparatively few, and these are mostly youth. Sheriff Stout with deputies is at Fontanet to-night, and the report Is the miners are determined that the freight trains shall not be released. Some of the train cre.vs deserted their posts and left the scone.

One of the new firemen was taken from his engine and laid across the track in front of the engine, his captors telling the engineer to run over him. Fifty deputy United States marshals were brought here to-night to be sent to Fontanet in the morning, when another effort will be made to release the freight trains, of which there are now five. SheriiT Stout will also have fifty deputies on hand.

1K4. Any employe failing to comply with this notice will be considered as having left the service of the company. A discharge certificate will be Issued, and on application to the paymaster he will receive all moneys due him." This afternoon about one hundred Vanda-lla shopmen and switchmen met at the Council chamber and were about to vote the resolution to return to work when an A. It. U.

man called on all who were loyal to the order to follow him out of the chamber. This broke up the meeting. Later, at another place, a committee was appointed to learn who had called the meeting at the Council chamber. Many employes called on Mr. Williams and assured him that they wanted to return to work.

It is the purpose of the management to begin operating the yard and shops to-morrow with the Id men, if they return, and with new men If they do not. The Fast St. Louis switchmen have been discharged and a new force will be put in there at once.

R. U. that they remain neutral. The News, Journal, Gazette, and Staats Zeitung take decided stands and mfst emphatically decline to accept a censorship of their papers. The News says were they to remain neutral they could not criticise the harshness and Inhumanity of Pullman, nor commend the patriotic course of Governor Matthews, nor condemn Governor Altgeld.

The Journal, at the end of an eloquent editorial, closes: "As between the A. It. IT. on one side and maintenance of the government on the other, we are for law and order every time." The Gazette is more sarcastic and prints the letter verbatim. All of the papers expect to be boycotted to-morrow.

The strike in this city is practically over, and passenger and freight trains are running regularly on all roads excepting the Wabash and Nickle-plate lines.

The Harrison County Man Had Almost Two Votes to the Congressman's One at North Vernon. "LIAKS, DOGS AND DEVILS" Brown Seals His Political Fate in Unparalleled Manner. Adjournment of the Convention During an Uproar All that Prevented Several Encounters. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NORTH VERNON.

July 12. Democracy of the Third congressional district today turned down Congressman, the Hon. Jason B. Brown, of Jackson county, and nominated Strother S. Stockslager, of Harrison county.

The victory of Stockslager is believed to have been won at the expense of losing the district, for, after the exhibition the Brown people made of themselves, to swing around and support the nominee 'arould Involve the rankest self-stultification. The temper of Brown and his adherents was shown in the address of Jason Brown, in which he "skinned alive" the men who accomplished his defeat. This morning the district committee met and decided upon the amended basis of apportionment as outlined in the special to the Journal last night. This increased the number of delegates from 107 to HI. The Stockslager men denounced It as a villainous scheme to wrest from them a fairly-earned victory, but at the same time the Stockslager men proceeded to gather in their proportion of the additional delegates, and when the convention met the nomination of Stockslager was a foregone conclusion.

Senator Leyden, chairman of the district committee, called the convention to order at 1 o'clock, and set the pace that Brown was to follow later. He explained the circumstances under which the original call was Issued and the reasons that prompted the change in the basis of apportionment. "If any man claims," said he, "that this change was for the purpose of enhancing the chances of any candidate the truth is not in him and he is a dirty scoundrel. I hope," continued Senator Leyden, "this convention will not repeat the blunder committed In the Sixth, when the man nominated declined and stalked off to Washington to accept a federal appointment." DRIVE AT STOCKSLAGER. This was a drive at Stockslager, who ran away from the nomination the year when there was a prospect of defeat and accepted the commissionership in the Land Office.

Charles J. Klrbly, of Madison, was chosen permanent chairman, and spoke briefly, endeavoring to pour oil on the waters. There was a row over the appointment of the committee on resolutions. Dr. Wolf, of Jeffersonvllle, offered a list of members, which Representative Barnes opposed, charging an attempt on the part of the machine to throttle the convention and suppress its sentiments.

Barnes offered an amendment authorizing the delegation from each county to choose its member on the committee. The first amendment prevailed. The convention then proceeded to nominate a candidate. The name of Jason B. Brown was presented by George H.

Vogt. while Mr. Siocllager was offered to the convention by William Ridley. The ballot resulted as follows: Counties. Stockslager.

Brown. Ciprke 27 Floyd 2S Harrison 16 Jackson 22 Jefferson 15Vi Jennings 6 Scott 7- Washington 17 Totals S6i Chairman Korbly announced that Mr. Stockslager had received a majority of all the votes cast and declared him the nominee. The cheering having subsided. Mr.

Brown moved to mike the nomination unanimous, Stockslager sat across the aisle and a row in front of his vanaulshed foe. In a burst of gratitude and conciliation he stepped across to Brown and ex-tendcni his hand, but the olive branch was rejected. Brown contemptuously waved his successful rival aside and the latter slunk to his seat. In answer to loud calls Stockslager arose and accepted the honor. He spoke a half hour, declaring adherence to everything Democratic, and concluding with a mild deprecation of the savage onslaught by Senator Leydon.

In answer to loud calls, Mr. Brown marched up, deposited on the table a formidable bundle of documents and proceeded to deliver himself of the most remarkable address perhaps ever heard in a political convention. From the character of it was Interpreted as Jason Brown's formal retirement from political life, for no man with political plans for the future would sow such thistles and briars as are bound to spring from Brown's utterances of to-day. "I tiiank you most sincerely," he began, "for this most graceful and generous re-ceDtlon, but such evidences of favor are not necessary to keen me in the Democratic ranks end lines. The best servlce3 I have given to the Democratic party have not ben rendered whil 1 was carrying the Hag.

but when I have been In the trenches. I am back there now. I want no scenes of the immediate rast in this district re-enacted. I am for the election of every Democrat nominated in the Stiite. district and county, and that includes the nominee In this district ror Joncress.

i am not one of these Democrats who work ov.y when he Is a candidate and who works only when he has a selfish interest to subserve. I keep my eye on the Dole star of Democracy and have followed It and will follow it through all Its vicissitudes. When God created man and en-dowor! him with all his attributes he in him the Instinct of self-defense In mv political career I have never heretofore availed myself of that right. In law and politics I have allowed every sleuth hound to bark at my heels and have made no defense. Now I have decided that it is proper to make a defense.

The campaign In this district opened early this season. The result in Clark county was that I defeated Stockslager 1,200 votes and Marsh four hundred That narrowed the contest down to me and Siockslaser. DEVILISH SLANDER. "But no sooner was the contest In Clark county decided than the foulest and vilest slanders the devil ever invented were set afloat over the district against me by the friends of Saockslager. They said when Brown's vote was needed in the House that an officer had to be sent out to drag him from some disreputable resort.

This was charged by these disreputable liars and cowardly hounds, some of whom I see in this convention. They spread It all ovrr the district. There is not a scintilla of truth in the charge. I have resided In Washington five years and Stockslager has lived there thirteen years. Whan I went to Washington I sought Stock-slager's advice and received It freely, and never refused any request of his.

Our relations for five years were as close as the relations between two men could be. If any man knows whether my conduct was correct and my habits right, Stockslager knew, and I ask him now to look you in the face and say whether this charge was true." As he uttered this Brown turned and sftook his fist at Stockslager, who sit on the stage, pausing for a reply. Stockslager arose and moved toward the front of the stare. "I never s.Ud It." he began. "That doesn't answer the question," thundered Brown.

"State whether my conduct was exemplary or not." "It was exemplary." faltered Stockslager. "Gentlemen," resumed Brown. "I ask ycu to Judge whether or not he is mistaken when he says he never hard of It before. (Derisive laughter from Brown men.) Every day I have sent him the Congressional Record, and I ask him if there is any account of my bolng brought to the bar of Justice. If had been he would have posied it on every oak tree In the district." Holding up a pamphlet Brown continued: "Herein Is the evidence that I have some standing In the House of Congress.

Here in the committee on privileges and elections the name of your humble servant comes first. I am the only Indiana Democrat ever made chairman of that committee. Grand old Dick Thompson, over on the Wabash, had it. and so did Major Calkins, but I am the only Democrat. If my habits had been as the lies of these abominable wretches would have you believe, would I have been appointed to that chairmanship? When I carried Clark county it was seen that only by an attacK of slime and filth could I be defeated.

The Corydon Democrat, the New Albany Ledger and the Salem Democrat were made the vehicles for the carriage of this filth and slime. No scandal was too dirty, no lie too great for them to give currency. CURSES THE EDITORS. "I know Jonathan Peters, of the New Albany Ledger, and I am sorry he is not here. He supported me in 1SSS, and I am better now than I was then, for I am six years nearer heaven.

But Peters wanted the New Albany postoffice and did not get It. Four years ago, when Joslah Gwin thrashed him, he poured his tale of woe in my ear, but why devote more attention to Peters? In the language of the old Spanish rroverb, 'It were a waste of lather to shave an a-ss. Then there is Jennlng3, of the Salem Democrat. Jennings wanted a consulate and came on to Washington. I did the best I could for him.

People in his town wanted to be rid of him. and 1 was willing to help them. I once had a spotted coach dog that stuck to me like a leach, but that flog wasn't a circumstance to Jennings. He stuck closer than a brother. He came home and was voluminous in his correspondence, and signed himself.

'Yours, to Command. When Jennings found that consulate gone he joined hands with Peters. I confess I have done some things I should not have done, (ind have left undone some things I should have done, but I never thrashed my wife. I leave it to my constituents to say whether 1 should have done the things these sleuth-hounds said I did. "But I am not the only man who has been the victim of the slander of these scorpions.

Michael C. Kerr, Speaker of the House, great man that he was, felt their sting, and was scandalized to his grave. But Kerr has gone up higher, and his reducers are writhing in hell, where they belong." Mr. Brown then addressed a few remarks to the A. P.

A. "I despise and spit with contempt in the face of every A. P. said he. "They are against every one who worships under the cross of the Catholic Church.

If I were going to run for Congress this term it would be that I might lay the lash on the back of the A. P. A. until the blood ran to their heels. Bah! The mention of them makes me sick at my stomach.

A man running on the Democratic ticket who would ask the vote of one of these scullions and traitors ought to be beaten. I trust (turning to Stockslager) there is no man running in this district who has received help from this treasonable organization. "A word about civil-service reform. If I could have given an office to every applicant Stockslager would not have been in it. He would now be hanging on to the coupling pole.

The people I did appoint were honest Democrats and none of them were my relatives. I have tried to get appointments on, but had this bill stuck tinder my nose. I hate and despise the civil-service law. It should have been passed by the A. P.

A. It was passed in 1883. and I have been its common enemy ever since. You are opposed to this civil-service rot and yet you put me out and put In Stock-siajer. who voted for it.

Stockslager will not have to apologize for any acts of mine. GAVE HIM NIGHTMARE. "Nothing I dl'l will make him have the nightmare or cause the Democrats of this district to blush. And now, friends, when I cross the threshold to my loved ones I will say to them, 'I bring you no gold; I hp.ve not been seen by the trusts, but I come with honor and good repute. Dogs may bark end howl, but my record is When a has lived to be fifty-five years old and hais been honest and true he can lift his eyes to the stars and 'It is not all of life to live nor all of death to And now I turn back to you the trust you committed to me, without soot to mar it or blotch to blot it." (Great cheering.) As Mr.

BroAn came down off the platform a small man with red whiskers came down the aisle and, facing the convention, demanded to be heard. It was George K. Guartney, of the Corydon Democrat, who has been excorciated by Brown, together with Peters and Jennings. The friends of Brown set up a yell for "Marsh. Marsh." The presiding officer rapped for order and informed the convention that this was no dog fight, but a Democratic convention.

Guartney again essayed to speak, and shouted: "You. have listened to the bull bellow. It was Jason's Here the friends of Brown set up another hOAi that completely drowned the piping voice of Guartney, and the latter was declared out of order. A delegate moved to adjourn, and the motion was declared out of order. The convention had yet to hear from the committee on resolutions.

DEIIS'M ARBITRATION' RECORD. Now DeiiiniidN It, hut Refused It from the Great Northern. 4 Chicago Inter Ocean. When did Mr. Debs become a convert to arbitration? Early in April of this year he oidered a strike on the Great Northern railroad.

The company had gone over schedules with the chiefs of all the old organizations of labor represented In the road, end the men were taking a vote on these whtn Mr. Debs ordered the strike. After this strike had been In force for two weeks the American Railway Union and a committee of employes on a strike sent a message to President Hill asking for a conference. President Hill wired back this reply: "The company Is always ready to receive and hear its employes or their representatives on all matters affecting their relations with the company." Vice President Clough, of the same roaL said at the same time: "The company has stated time and again that it is always ready to hear its employes who have grievances. The men know this." Mr.

Debs and the American Railway Urdcn refused to submit to arbitration the differences between the company and the men. Governor Nelson, of Minnesota, and the Boalds of Trade of Minneapolis and St. Paul repeatedly tried to have the dlffer-erces arbitrated. President Hill expressed his willingness for such arbitration, because he had been the first railway president to suggest this plan of settlement. But arbitration would not recognize Mr.

Debs anl the American Railway Union. Debs wanted a conference because that would place hlra on the same footing with Chiefs Arthur. Sargent and Clark, of the engineers' firemen's and conductors' brotherhoods. President Hill agreed to the conference, and met the thirty-three members of th American Railway Union and the grievance committee of the employes In St. Paul.

April i. Mr. Hill announced, at thia conference, his willingness to arbitrate, but the American Railway Union demanded, ax the first condition, that the road grant all the demands of the men for a renewal of the wage schedule in force prior to last AURUft. That was Mr. Debs's manner or meeting an offer of arbitration at St.

Paul. He hal successfully tied up the Great Northern road, and he refused all offers of compromise not dictated by himself and his crdon. He then placed himself In Just the position be now claims the Pullman company la in. Suicide of on Editor. CHICAGO.
