Mr.. Humphrey May Be Mistaken.

William Humphrey, a prominent farmer re-
siding south of the city, had thrilling expert
ence yesterday at indianapolis. 1t seems that
showers of the queer had been putting in circu-
lation counterfeit $40 national bank notes
of the Third National Bank, of Cincinnati, and
two or three shop-keepers who had accepted
the currency complained at police headquar-
tiers, and furnished a description of the
fellow who had paid them the bogus bills.
The description of the crook tailed precisely
with that of Mr.. Humphrey, and within an hour
four or FIVE peelers were on his trail. Mr..
Humphrey was arrested on West Washington
street, taken to the station-house, and informed
of the charge against him. He denied his guilt
emphatieally, but. in spite of protestations, he
was ,locksd up for twelve hours, at the end of
which time friends procured his release Hum
phrey was almost frightened out of his wits when
run in.
The above dispatch from Wabash Ind, ap-
peared in the Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday
journal reporters questioned the police about
the matter and were informed that there was
not word of truth in the statement. Turnkey
Clarke says that no such man as Humphrey has
been arrested at all, and denies absolutely that
there is even a semblance of truth in Hum
phrey's story

A Sensational Charge Against the ExSu-
preme Treasurer of the Knights of Honor.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. pa sensation was Gre
ated here to-day by publication in the Boston
Knights of Honor Observer, charging that
Robert J. Breckenridge, late supreme treasurer
of the Knights of Honor, is a defaulter for $780,,
O00 incidentally the same paper refers to
Colonel Breckenridge as "a rival of Captain
Kidd and other such personages." Numerous
other insinuations and charges are multiplied
together to fill out nearly half a column.
In addition to its local report the
Observer speaks editorially of Colo
mel breckenridge, and arraigns him
for ''being accountable for large sums of money,
to widows and orphans of departed brethren"
The Knights of Honor Observer is edited by A.
Cummings, who is on very intimate terms with
General Sloat, supreme dictator of the Knights
of Honor and j. Branch, who succeeds Colonel
Breckenridge as supreme treasurer. Colonel
Breckenridge is in the city and denies the charge,
pronouncing the whole thing tissue of false
hoods. Said he: Il have received money which
has not been paid out. l was ordered by the
Chaneery Court to pay no more benefits after
Oct Is, last, and obeyed the order For this
reason there is now a considerable amount
in the Peoples Bank to the credit of the Knights
of Honor" The general opinion among members
of the Knights of Honor is that the charge is
not true. Colonel Breckenridge will sue for
libel

TRADE AND LABOR.
Present Condition and Future Prospects of
the Glass Trade

Present Condition and Future Prospects of
the Glass Trade.
PITTsBURG, Nov. "a Trade is reported to be
quite dull in all the various branches of the glass
trade, with the exception of window glass and
specialties President Cline, Of the Window
glass Workers Association, says the reports to
his office from different portions of the country
indicate fairly active trade everywhere. The
secretary of the Windowgass Workers Asso-
citation makes the same statement This is &C
counted for from the fact that there was but lit
tie glass in the country after the pro-
longed strike, and since that time the manu-
facturers have been trying to keep the production
on par with the demand A few weeks ago
leading manufacturers became somewhat uneasy
for fear of drop in the prices, and made move
towar DIS restricting production. The Western
men did not favor the proposition, and all fact
cries allowed to run to their full capacity
Since that time, however, the demand has in
creased to an extent that all fears of drag in
prices have disappeared.
