ST. LOUIS, August lS.-A meeting
of the executive board of the Knights
of Labor, and of the committees rep
resenting the locked out men on the
Wabash and of the Knights of Labor
employed on the Gould Southwestern
system was held this morning. A
body of resolutions was adopted de-
nouncing the action of the Wabash
officials for attempting TO break the
Knights of Labor and for causing the
arrest of members of the Organization
by the United States Marshals. Con-
gresham William Warner, of Kansas

committee are awaiting information
from branch organizations of Knights
of Labor throughout the west, before
rcsorting TO extreme measures. II is
possible that an order calling out the

81. LOUIS, Mo-, August lS.-Word
has come down from the Wabash re-
pair-shop in north st. Louis, where
only about dozen men are EN-
ployed, that none of the men have
vet gone out. There was only one
Knight of Labor among them. a
despatch from Moberly says that the
men there are still at work. Reports
arc conflicting, growing out of the
fact, perhaps, that the. hour ordered
for the strike is the regular dinner
hour and of course all the men left
the shops for dinner, and it will
not be known who or how many
actually struck until after one
o'clock, the hour when the men re
tura TO work, has passed.

heard the nocturnal noise OF the submarine

and fifty-three kinds of fish contained IN
the sea, all OF which were found In the
nets OF the Apostles when they cast them

Soythia he killed a griffin which the peo-

Finally, he was shipwrecked several

pin had but one aim. to find Germany but
one thought, to see once more Baul-
dour.
Thanks to the talisman of the Sultana,
which he always wore, he could not, you
remember grow old nor die. He counted
sadly, however, the years. At the time
that he found himself in the north or
France five years had elapsed since he

thought Of this NJ nlgutfall, having walk

his courage and say to himself: Five
years. But shall see her again. She

had returned, aud he went on. 1t was

Pecopin to his load, but in order to do this
it was necessary to kill him. He there
fore called in a low voice an invisible
spirit to whom he gave an order in u
strange idiom.
Now, every one knows that when the
devil speaks with other demons il is in a
jatgon halt spanish, half Italian, with here
and there a Latin wCrd.
PecOpin knew many things; he was a
man of intelligence, as have said. He
understood what the devil said. At the
instant the sack was on the DEVILS shout
ders he heard him mutter: "Bamos non
cierra occhi, verbera, frappa echa la
pledra." This was like fash ofllghtning
TO Pecopin; a suspicion struck him. He
raised his eyes and saw an enormous
stone hanging over his head.
Springing back. he touched the tai
isman with his left hand, while with his
right he seized his dagger and ripped
open the sack.
The devil gave great cry; the delivered
souls rushed out of the rent, leaving be-
hind them their crimes and evil deeds-a
hideous mass OfcOrruption which, attract
cd to the devil, stuck to him, and remain
cd forever between his shoulders, From
that day Asmodeus has been a hunchback.
Meantime at the moment Pecopin jumped
back the evil spirit let fall the stone,
which fell upon the foot of the devil. From
that day Asm0deus has been lame. The
devil, like God, has thunder at his COM
mand-an inferior kind of thunder which
comes out of the ground and uproots the
trees. Pecopin felt the shore tremble,
and something terrible seemed to envelop
him; black smoke blinded, a frightful
noise deatened him; it seemed as il he
was falling and rolling along the
ground like dead leaf driven by the
wind.
