GALVESTON, September "A spe-
cial to the Ncws from Dallas says
The first annual Convention Of the
Knights Of Labor Of Texas met here
yesterday for the purpose Of organizing
State Assembly. One hundred and
four delegates, including eight colored
men, were in attendance. The proceed
ings were secret. All the delegates are
extremely communicative, being
bound by oath not to diyulge any
thing. Much speculation is being in
dulged in by outsiders respecting
the probable coalition Of the Knights OF
Labor with the Prohibitionists. Owing
to the fact that Knights Of Labor
throughout the State generally are re-
framing from the use of strong drink,
it is surmised that they are prepared to
make overtures to the Prohibition
party, especially rs the number of brief
interviews show that large majority
| of the delegates sympathize with the
Prohibition movement. which is assu-
ming widespread proportions in the
State. Another report current states
that the seeds are being planted
for union with the farmers
in the hope of making a common
crusade against what is described as
.the excess of capital" The agree
ment entered into between the Execu-
tive Committee of Assembly 20, Knights
Of Labor, and the officers of the Texas
and St. Louis railway last Saturday
will, it is thought, be proposed by the
State Assembly as the means of hereaf-
ter settling strikes in Texas. 1t pre-
scribes First, that those who have
quit work by the strike shall be re-
instated, and shall not be dis
charged for any action taken by the
strikers in regard to wages due, but this
is not to cover negligence, intempe-
rance, or neglect Of duty; that thirty
days notice shall be given to the men
before being discharged, except fol
cause and in case of raise or reduc'
ton in wages similar notice shall be
given. Old employees are to have
preference of the work, and all differ.
ences between the companies and theil
employees shall be settled by arbitra
ton.
The Convention will be continued
to-day, when organization will be eff
fected.
GALVESTON. TEX, September O.
A brief session Of the committee from
the Knights of Labor and Gulf, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe Railroad Company
was held tonight. 1t adjourned unit
tomorrow at II O'Clock, when treaty
will be finally consummated. 1t is un
derstood that thus far the Knights have
gained every point, and those still re
naming in dispute are not essentially
material to the issue.

MONTREAL, September 2.-Thirty
fresh cases Of smallpox were reported
at the health office yesterday, of which
eight were authenticated. Thirteen
deaths occurred from the disease. To-
day the chairman of the Board of
Health received notice from the Lieu
tenant Governor that he would issue a
proclamation tomorrow appointing a
provincial Board Of Health, which
would have power all over the province
to make vaccination compulsory and to
enforce the sanitary laws. This mea-
sure will, it is believed, have the effect
of stamping out the smallpox cpl

NEW YORK, September 2.--At
the Briehton-Beach race-track to-day
the second race was started with thirty
one horses, although twenty-five own
ers had sent in an application to have
their horses withdrawn, as the number
was too great and the track too narrow
TO give their animals q chance to win,
and, as was stated, they were afraid Of
an accident. Caldwell got the horses
offin lunches, and Of course they raised
an immense cloud Of dust. in which
those out Of the front rank could not
see where they were riding to. At the
halfmile post Moran, who was riding
W. G. Days Miss DAILY, and, as
well as could be seen with the
dust, was in the third place on the out
side, having Joe Howell little in front
and closely followed by Garrison on
Blizzard. and Lane on Bonnie Lee, was
seen to suddenly pitch high into the air,
and was quickly followed by the other
TIVE falling also. Moran's neck was
broken, and death Of course was almost
instantaneous. He was proteg5 Of
W. C. Daly's, and was looked
upon as most promising Of jockeys,
having ridden some very fine races, and
on late occasion came near beating
his mentor, James Mclaughlin, making
a ad-heat.on King Fan, Mclaughlin
only beating him in the run-off on Miss
Brewster by neck. Ladies on the
grand-stand were affected to tears,
and sobbiug was heard all over
when his death became known,
some of his admirers becoming quite
hysterical. His remains, by leave Of
the coroner, we're removed to the tenn
porary home Of his widowed mother, at
Sheepshead Bay, still habited in his
| Jockey uniform, his features wearing a
placid expression Of deep sleep. The
other riders, Garrison, who rode Biz
gard, and Lane, who rode Bonnie Lee,
are getting along all right.
In the third race another accident oc-
Cured, which in one case may prove
fatal. Rivers, who was riding Wonder
ment, and Williams, on Cardinal Nc
Closkey, were thrown as they entered
the home stretch, and Rivers was to-
night carried home still unconscious
and unable to move. Williams es-
capped with few bruises.
After this every one seemed to lose
heart and take no more interest in the
days proceedings.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-The
particulars Of the sad tragedy On the
Potomac last evening, near Chain
bridge, by which John IL. Morgan, the
only son Of Senator Morgan, Of Ala
hama, and Mrs. Emma Della Seta lost
their lives, are rs follows: Mr.. Nor
gan, who is q member Of the Washing
ton Canoe Club, left the clubhouse
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, going
in the lola, double canoe, with Mrs.
Seta, while Mrs. Seta's niece, Miss
Lulu Mccarthy, accompanied them IN
single canoe, as she desired TO prac-
tice padding. About 7:l5 o'clock,
when a quarter Of mile below Cham
bridge, the double canoe was capsized
and both its occupants, MIR. Morgan
and Mrs. Seta, were drowned. Mr..
Morgan went down while attempting to
save his companion. He was good
swimmer, but Of very slight physique.
Miss Mccarthy, who had turned her
canoe down the stream, and was some
distance in advance, happened TO turn
her head over her shoulder and saw the
lola upset; she saw the two occu-
pants in the water and heard Morgan
cry, Lulu, Lulu" before he
sank. She at once turned about,
but when she had padded to
the spot both Morgan and Mrs.
Stella had disappeared under the water.
The canoe, it appears, had struck a
sunken rock. The current at thispoint
is very swift, making q series of rapids,
and there are many dangerous rocks in
the water. After padding about the
fatal spot for half an hour or more
yainly hoping that the forms Of her
companions would rise to the surface,
Miss Mccarthy, in despair, started down
the river after help. She had not pro-
ceeded but little way when she
met q gentleman and lady in boat,
and went back with them to make
another fruitless search. Miss Nc
earthly and her two new companions
then turned again down stream towards
Holtzman's. Miss Mccarthy, being
now exhausted, was taken into the
other boat. At Holtzman's Miss Me-
Carthy was cared for by Mrs. Holtz-
man, and subsequently was taken to
her home in a buggy by Mr.. Hoffman,
greatly to the relief of her distressed
mother, TO whom the report had
been broaght that her daughter
had been drowned. Hoffman drove
TO Senator Morgan's house, at
First and Il streets, northeast,
and informed him Of his sons death.
The announcement for q moment
stunned the Senator. When he had re-
covered his composure he gave direc-
tons to have thorough search made
for the bodies, and force Of men was
soon at work in the river. Mrs. Seta
was a widow, about forty years of age,
a clerk in the General Land Office, and
resided with her sister, Mrs. Mccarthy,
and her neice, Mrs. Morgan, at Gig &
street. Mrs. Morgan is critically ill,
and has been kept in ignorance Of her
sons death for fear the announcement
would prove fatal.

Run on an Irish Bank.

TIPPERARY, September 3. For
three days past heavy run has been
continuously kept up on the Bank of
Ireland, and it now amounts almost to
panic. The Irish Tory papers are now
filled with bitter and vindctive articles
concerning the affair, and they intimate
that the entire run was engineered in
revenge for the banks refusal to make
advances to the Munster Bank during
its recent troubles.

half mile long, and twelve hundred
Masons were in it. The music was

liable, though, As It once was, for
Mr.. Stokcs's eccentric disposition
has somewhat changed the usual tac-
tics that farmers pursue when they
own fertile acres. The average man
clears his soil OF stones Mr.. Stokes
has been piling rocks al over his land.
Little BY little the weakness-or phi
losophy-has grown upon him; and
not only from every part Of Middlesex
county, but from every part of this
State, he has been accumulating wagon
loads Of pebbles and rocks. He seeks
for no peculiar stone either in shape,
color, or quality. If they are
stones that is sufficient. And his
theory is that stones have souls
souls, too, that are not so sor-
did and earthly as the souls that AMI
mate humanity. They are souls puri-
fed and exalted. In the rocks are the
spirits Of the greatest men who have
lived in past ages, developed by some
divinity until they have become worthy
Of their new abode. Napoleon Bona
parties soul inhabits stone, so does
Hannibal's, so does Cesar's, but poor
plebeian John Smith and William Jen-
kens, they never attained such immor-
'tality.
Farmer Stokes has dumped his rocks
with more OF less reverence all along
his fields, and this by one name and
that by another he knows and halls
them all. A choice galaxy Of the dis
tinguished lights Of the old days are
in his possession, and just between the
burly bits of granite at the very TIRES
hold of his home is smooth-faced
crystal from the Rocky mountains.
This stone has no soul yet. The
rough, jagged rock on its LEFT
is George Washington. The granite
spar on the right is glorified with the
spirit Of good Queen Bess. The smooth
faced crystal one Of these days is tC
know the bliss of swallowing up thu
spirit of good Farmer Edgar Gartor
Stokes. 1t was not until recently tina
mystifed neighbors obtained the secre
| of the vast accumulation Of rough
stones on the Stokes farm. Mr.. Stoke
has family. They all seem to be in
tellieent, practical business people
There may be will contested in Mid
dletown one of these days.
