Switching Engineers at the Stock Yards Threaten to Strike- -Burned to Death. Morgan's Men Afraid of the Merritt LawMr. Hanna's Very Oold Request. Parcelling Out Dearborn Park-Minor Crimes and Casualties-Hotel PersonalsBrevities. A STRIKE THREATENED.

The switching engineers employed by the different railroads entering the Union Stock Yards held a meeting on South Canal street last night to consider the proposed change in wages offered by the Stock Yards Company under the new arrangement, by which the company is to lease all the switching engines. There are dozen different roads entering the yards, and it was proposed to pay uniform rate of $2.90 for twelve hours' work. This would be about 87 cents less per day than the best paid engineers now receive. For instance, the Fort Wayne pays $2.90 for ten hours' work and 29 cents an hour for extra time. The Grand Trunk pays about the same, while the Lake Shore and other roads pay less.

From one of the engineers was learned that no reduction will be accepted, and none of the men will work for less than they are now paid by their respective roads. They propose to stand together in the matter, and, as most of them belong to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the fight if inaugurated may prove serious one. They will all stop work to-day at noon if their terms are not agreed to by the Stock Yards Company, and Forty-seventh street and Center avenue is designated as their meeting place. It is understood, however, that John B. Sherman, general manager of the Stock Yards Company, has signified his willingness to pay the engineers and firemen the highest rate paid by any road.

Should the engineers go out they will be joined by the Stock Yards switchmen, and the strike will affect all the roads. BURNED TO DEATH. Johanna O'Brien, a 19-year-old girl employed as domestic in the family of Frank McHenry, at No. 39 Rush street, attempted about 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning to mako the fire in the kitchen stove burn more rapidly. She took the kerosene can and poured oil on the smoldering coal to such effect that it blazed up, ignited the oil in the can, and burned her terribly around the lower limbs, arms and face.

Mr. McHenry heard the girl's screams and running to ber assistance succeeded in extinguishing the flames. Dr. B. D.

Foster was called, and dressed the unfortunate young woman's burns, but little hope of her recovery. At the County Hospital everything that skill could suggest to relieve the poor girl's sufferings was done, but she died in great agony at 9 o'clock last night, and Coroner was notified. TOMMY MORGAN'S RETINUE. set apart a portion Park for a labor The following troduced by T. mously adopted: of the tract known as Dearborn hall.

petition to the City Council, inJ. Morgan, was also unani- At: yesterday's meeting of the Trades and Labor Assembly, among other things, a long and turbulent discussion arose on the report of the committee on recommending that the Assembly regularly buy a copy of the Voice of the People for every member. An amendment was made substituting the Alarm, Tommy Morgan suggested the Labor Enquirer, and still another wanted the Knights of Labor substituted. After a wrangle the whole matter was laid over. The case of the Maxwell Brothers' strike came up, and was referred to an executive session.

This brought up the whole subject of boycotts, which WAS handled with considerable turpitude by the gentlemen present. The reading of the Merritt conspiracy law was called for, and seemed to stagger many delegates who have heretofore been strong advocates of the The prospects of a five years' term in prison or a $2,000 fine were not cheering, and the executive officers of the organization frankly stated that they were not anxious to lay themselves liable to- go to the penitentiary by any overzealousness in the use of the boycott. The attitude of the Trades Assembly touching the Maxwell strike at present will therefore be "hands off." The subject matter of the Merritt bill was referred to a special committee for an opinion as to its exact import. Groans and deep disgust everywhere visible marked the reading of the measure. R.

A. Palmer, in this connection, moved that the unions copyright a sign, which shall de displayed by all dealers in union-made goods, and by them only. This was adopted. John A Barron introduced the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That this body do request Congress to We respectfully ask your favorable action upon the following statement and proposition pertaining to the cable ordinance presented for the approval of your honorable body by the Chicago West Division Railroad Company: respectfully claim that the above named corporation is a monopoly, essentially the same AS the Gas Trust described by Alderman Hamline in a document unanimously alopted by you Nov. 28, as "a monopoly hostile to the spirit of our institutions, a source of infinite corruption and a constant menace to the stability of our government, and that such monopolies should not be permitted under a republican form of We sincerely hope that your indorsement of the above declaration will find practical expression in the conditions embodied in the ordinance granting the valuable privileges requested by the street-car company.

We urge that inasmuch as the owners of the Gas Trust are also the owners of the street lines of the North and West Divisions of the city, and that the requests of these monopolists are based upon mercenary motives alone, therefore all professions by them or their agents that they desire to furnish the people of the West Side with rapid transit, because they are interested in their welfare and comfort, and hence are entitied. to the same privileges as are enjoyed by the people on the South Side, are an insult to your intelligence, and should be treated with scant tespect. Such conditions should be imposed as will eventually abolish this monopoly and place the ownership of the means of local transit in the city government. To this end we respectfully submit the following propositions for insertion in the cable ordinance: 1. That 5 cents be charged for each fare for any distance within the city limits.

2. That 1 cent from each fare be paid into the city treasury to be used for the purchase of street car lines on or before the expiration of their charter. 3. That eight consecutive hours' labor, with an Interval of one hour for meals, be the limit for each day of twenty-four hours for all employes of the company. That 25 cents per hour be the lowest rate wages for any person employed by the company.

5. That suitable places containing -rooms, closets, and dining-rooms be provided at the end of each line for the convenience and comfort of the conductors. and drivers. We respectfully insist that these propositions are reasonable; that they come within the legislative power of your honorable body; that they will not seriously affect the resources of a monopoly that has guaranteed to stubborn stockholders 35 per cent dividends and paid at the rate of $650 per share for a majority of the stock: that much of the antagonism that exists between the company and the employes will be removed, and that the general public will be benefited by their adoption. MARK L.

CRAWFORD, Chairman. LOUIS HARTMAN Secretary. One hundred coopers who are members of assemblies 2,303 and 3,540, Knights of Labor, were in the hall at No. 106 Randolph street yesterday afternoon talking about the propriety of organizing a National coopers' union. Mr.

Vall, of 3,540, was chairman. Mr. Hern said that the Knights of Labor were of no service to workingmen any longer, and that Assembly 3.540, which had 400 members a year only seventy now. He inveighed against Powderly and the executive board. Several others followed in the same vein, and upon a vote being taken 69 were for a now organization of the coopers and 20 were for remaining in the knights.

George Schilling made strong argument in favor of remaining in the order and William Kliver, of the Carpenters' Union, appealed to the workingmen not to diemember such a noble institution if it could be helped If not, why a new organization was better than no organization. After talking till the gas was hit it was decided to leave the question to the officers of the two assemblies and hose of the Beer Barrel Workers' Union. SUBDIVIDING DEARBORN PARK. adjourned meeting of the soldier organizatione was yesterday afternoon at Grand Army Hall, General Julius White presiding. The meeting was held for the purpose of taking action on the bill which was presented at the last meeting, to be presented to the Senate and House of Representatives, asking for the privilege of erecting on the north quarter of Dearborn Park a memorial hall, to be under the control of the managers of the Soldiers' Home, the south three-quarters of the park to be occupied by the Chicago Public Library.

An animated discussion occurred as to whether or not it was a breach of faith with the Academy of Design, who desire that the library shail have but onehalf of the park and they one-quarter, and were united with the library board and the soldier organization in attempting to get a bill 80 dividing it through Congress in 1886, to present this bill to Congress. It was stated that the reason the previous bill failed to pass Congress was because that body did not think the Academy of Design entitied to the property, was and that while the soldier organization perfectly willing that the Academy of Design should have one quarter of the park they did not want to lose their own chance of obtaining one-quarter in attempting to aid the academy. It was urged by those opposed to the bill in its present form that a gontleman representing the academy had by his influence with Congress prevented the Public Library from obtaining the park before, and that if -the Academy of Design WaS not included in the present bill it would be defeated again. Mr. Moses, representing the Public Library, was present at the meeting and said that while the library board did not think one-half of the park was enough for their needs, still they were more than willing to accept onehalf and give the Academy of Design onequarter, rather than not to get any by having the bill defeated.

The motion to accept the bill as read was finally carried. All present concurred in the statement that it was not their intention in any way to antagonize the managers of the Academy of Design, and they were willing that they should be given the desired one-quarter, if such a thing could be done, but they did not wish the unpopularity of the academy with Congress to 1 prevent them from obtaining what they want. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HANNA? The following peculiar advertisement was inserted in a morning paper of yesterday: THE UNDERSIGNED IS PREPARED TO spend $100 toward defending any person or persons in resisting palpably extortionate demands made by any of the viciously monopolistic ice companies which curse this city. REV. J.

S. HANNA, 412 First National 1. Bank Building. A reporter for THE INTER OCEAN was assigned the task of interviewing Mr. Hanna on the subject of his advertisement, and it being Sunday, was dispatched to the residence of the reverend gentleman, in the Hodges Building, corner Twenty-second street and Indiana avenue.

The elevator boy. landed the reporter safely on the floor where Mr. Hanna's apartments were situated. A knock on the latter's door brought that gentleman to tho front, and the reporter walked into narrow passage way, while Mr. Hanna closed the door and looked at his caller.

There were two doors, standing open, leading from the passage, one into the parlor and the other into the kitchen 'The reporter hesitated about passing through either without an invitation, when Mr. Hanna came to his assistance and said: must step into the kitchen, as my wife is Unwell." Into the kitchen accordingly the reporter stepped, followed by the reverend gentleman, who closed the door behind him, and said: "Well, The reporter stated the object of his call, and took a seat with the appearance of as much ease as if he had been invited to do so. "I never do any business on Sundays." Saying which, Mr. Hanna produced a card, announcing his ordinary business occupation as a shorthand teacher, and giving his place of business. "But I have no business to transact with you, Mr.

Hanna. I merely wish to obtain your OWn explanation of the rather extraordinary nouncement you make in the paper this morning." "If any one wishes to see me about that matter he can call on me at my office on a week day." "What demands do you have reference, to, Mr. Hanna, as having been made by the ice companies?" "I will have nothing to say on Sunday, sir, about anything, sir." "Very well, sir. Good day, sir." When the reporter went down in the elevator he asked the elevator boy for further informstion. "Is the Rev.

Mr. Hanna a crank, or what?" "He is the biggest kicker in this building!" The young man followed up this interesting revelation with the statement that Mr. Hanna was no doubt a first-rate teacher of shorthand, but rather eccentric on general principles. It is not improbable that the Rev. Mr.

Hanna has simply adopted a rather unique method of bringing people to his place of business. BREVITIES. Bogus Checks, Frank Wallace, 35 years old, who claims to have been employed as a cook on a lake vessel under Captain Henry Peterson during the past summer and fall, was arrested by Officers Foley and Wessler on South Halsted street yesterday, charged with swindling number of saloonkeepers by issuing forged checks. One of these checks, for $8, drawn on the Chicago Trust and Savings Company, signed with Captain Henry Peterson' name, WAS passed on James Brennan, saloon-keeper, at No. 67 West Lake street.

The names of Brewer Hoffman were forged to a number of the checks passed by Wallace. Louis Lowry and Charles Wesley, saloon-keepers at Nos. 102 and 111 South Desplaines street, report that they are victims of Wallace's bogus checks. Captain Lyman Lewis, of the Desplaines Street Station, would like to hear from any others who have been taken in by the swindlers. Jumped the Track, In switching a grain-loaded freight train at Fortieth street on the Galena Division of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway yesterday morning one of the cars jumped the track and landed crosswise upon the two tracks.

Very little damage was done, but the tracks were blocked for some hours, and the incoming trains were sent around by way of the Yards. The accident occurred at 6 a. and it was afternoon before the track was cleared. Miscellaneous, 12 Cabinets free with every crayon at Brand's. 12 cabinets, 2 panel photos, $2.
