SAD ENDING


WASHINGTON, August l3.-Early in July
General and Mrs. Sherman who had engaged
the Perry mansion at Oakland. Md, for the
summer, assembled their children, sons.in-
law and grandchildren, to the number of
twenty-One; and healthier, happier fami-
ly could hardly be found in this country.
Last week one of Mrs. Fitch's children from
st. Louis was taken sick, when DR.. Norris,
OF the army, went to Oakland to attend the
child. While watching this child another,
the youngest, manifested similar symptoms
of dysentery, and yesterday. by DR.. Nor
ris' advice, all of Mrs. Fitch's family
started for Washington, but the baby, Maria
Ewing Fitch, died on the cars just as the
train came to the depot at 10 o'clock last
night. The little body was taken to the
residence of Gen. Sherman in this city,
where it remained during the day, and was
tonight taken to st. Louis for interment.
The other child, Katie, is still very i'll at
the same place, but Sanguine hopes are en-
tertained that she will recover. Meantime
the family, so happily assembled a month
ago, is scattered and overwhelmed by ca
lamity rs sudden as severe.

Special DElpdteh % the Re0GSter.
PTrrSBCsG, Pa, August 1S.-A secret cir
cular has been prepared by theleaders OF
the trades unions of western Pennsylvania,
a copy Of which will be sent 10 the Secreta-
~ OF each lodge and association during the
coming week, urging them 10 take i'm
mediate steps TO have their full representa-
ton in the Convention OF workingmen,
which is called by trades and labor council
of Philadelphia, to meet in that city in
about two weeks.
The Occasion OF This
is the reports that has been circulated, far
and wide, that Philadelphia leaders con-
neeted with trades and labor counctls
have arranged to sell out the work
ingmen's movement by manipulations in
the convention and packingit with round
erS and heelers.
The circular sets forth the. necessity OF
having all the lodges fully represented,
and takisg all possible measures to secure
the repeal Of the obnoxious
Conspiracy Laws
and the enactment OF law legalizing trades
unions. 1t also proposes the adoption of
some plan OF systematically interrogating
candidate of all parties to see how they
stand on the labor question. 1t Is signed
By John Jarrett. President of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel Work
ers; Col. Isaac Cline, President of the
Window Glass Workers Union; ID. E.

Master Workman A. G. Haukin, of District
No. 5, Knights of Labor; Master Workman
Jere Smith, of District No. @, knights OF
Labor; Robert D. Layton, Secretary Of the
Grand Lodge OF Knights Of Labor.
The Real object
Of the movement is said to be to prevent
the Philadelphia Convention from en-
dorsing any other ticket than that pre-
pared by the State Convention at Harris
burg. which nominated ThoS. A. Arm
strong, of Pittsburgh, for Governor.
1t is predicted tnat there will be lively
fight in the Convention, if the Phildel-
phians attempt to have any other course
pursued. The signers of the circular rep
resent lodges containing about 900 voters
in the Pittseurgh District alone.

that he had left luxurious home because
a stern parent had commanded him to wed
against his will. Finally in one of his ine-
bristed moments he gave himself away"
He was boasting OF his numerous
conquest and to prove the truth of what he
said allowed companion to read letter
dated from McKeespOrt and written in
feminine hand. The companion copied the
address and sent il, nv mail tn one of II"

and she received the answer that the

found out would follow him at once. The
