A Wretch Escapes Punishment.

PROVIDENCE, September LIN the United
States District Court to-day preliminary
hearing was had on the complaint OF Post
master Gardner against Albert E. Bos-
worth, treasurer OF the Stafford Mills, Fall
River. for the sending OF an obscene letter
through the mails addressed to a lady Of
eminent respectability residing in this
city. The Court, after quoting several de-
cisions, discharged the prisoner on the
round that the mailing of a private letter
j the character named was not an offense
provided against by the United States
statutes agyinst mailing certain classes OF
matter. The letter was particularly vile,
and the prisoner admitted his guilt when
arrested. The Courts opinion was based
ON the fact that the law WAS specific, inter-
dieting several carefully described classes
of matter, and must be construed strictly.

A MISSOURI TRAGEDY.
A Desperate Low r Shoots a Lady and Is
Himself Killed.

ST.. LOUIS. September 2.-The Globe-Den1-
0crat has advices that the little town of
Kirkwocd, twenty miles west OF here on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad, was the scene OF
bloody tragedy this afternoon. 1t ap-
pears that Mrs. Randall, /, highly respected
lady OF that place, had sent a trunk to the
blacksmith shop OF F. W. Banchet to have
a key made for it. Early in the afternoon
the lady called for the trunk, and while she
was at the shop Mr.. Banchet, an unmar-
ried man of SO years, endeavored to i'm
press her with the idea that
HE WAS GREATLY sA1ITTEN WITH HER.
Mrs. Randall received these advances
coldly, whereupon Banchet became angry
and seizing a carbine, which was in the
shop fired at and hit the lady in one OF her
lower limbs. Banchet then marched up
and down the street with his carbine and a
dirk knife and defed arrest. Sheriff Allen
was sent for, and when he arrived, he called
on Banchet to surrender, but that individ-
ual, who was now in Il state OF high excite
ment, refused and
OPENED FIRE UPON THE OFFICER.
The sheriff returned the fire and shot
Banchet twice. once in the head and once
in the groin, infiicting wounds from the
effects OF which he died this evening. Mrs.
Randall, who has q painful, but not very
serious wound, was conveyed to her home
and the sheriff offered to surrender to the
local authorities, but at last accounts he
had not been arrested. The citizens
generally consider that he only performed
his official duty.

A Peculiar and Fatal Disease Causing

frightful ravages OF Il strange and fatal
disease. So far about fifty have been at
tackled, OF which a score have died.
vague, horrible fear has begun to fill the
breasts OF some. 1t may not be cholera,
but the symptoms are very much like it.
Instances OF the fatal effects OF the disease
are afforded by the family OF Justice Zeiz-
more. Three of his sons are already dead,
and as they lie in their collins three more
are writhing and screaming with the awful
torture which carried off the others. The
disease is chiefly confined to children, who
are attacked and die within an hour, seem
ingly paralyzed with pain. The region is
sparsely settled with Il class OF hardy
mountaineers and as the region is one OF
pure water and healthy mountain air the
outbreak seems unaccountable. The symp-
toms seem to suggest a terrible disease like
that OF last year, which ravaged number
OF counties in southwestern Virginia and
parts of Kentucky.

A Favorable Mining Contract.

PITTsBURG: August 29.-Joseph Walton
g. Co.'S miners have made contract with
the firm to dig coal for 2A cents per
bushel for ten months. There are about
500 men employed at Walton's pits and
by signing the contract they have forfeited
their right to membership in the Miners
Association. This leaves the union in IL
dangerous shape. The men say they will
stand by the contract no matter what
action may be taken by the officials OF the
organization, as it insures them steady
employment. A meeting OF the association
will be held on Tuesday next.

TAE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Gaining Their POints-OrganizaiiOn OF q
Grand Asse mblT TN Texas.

GALVESTON, Texas, September "A brief
session OF the committees OF the Knights OF
Labor and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe Railroad Company was held tonight.
1t adjourned until tomorrow at Ii O'Clock,
when the treaty will be finally cOnsun-
mated. 1t is understood that thus far the
Knights have gained every point, and those
still remaining in dispute are not essen
TALLY material to the issue.
POWERFUL CONSOLIDATION.
A dispatch from Dallas says: The Knights
of Labor to-day perfected the organization
of Grand Assembly by electing a full set
CT officers, with Harry Golden Of Galveston
as Master Workman. 1t became known
during the day and the assembly was waited
upon by q committee OF five from the
Farmers Union headed by President Dun
lap, with proposition to fuse with the lat
ter, which was accepted. A comparison OF
notes showed that the Knights only
organized in Texas last March, having since
increased their membership to almost 1O,-
900, while the Farmers Union has a mem
bership of nearly 81, 900 in Texas, with a
prospect OF controlling S5 per cent. OF the
farms in six years. The harmony existing
between agriculture and labor is said to
have been proven by the proposition from
the Farmers to back the Knights of Labor
with as much as $40, ,OOOp per week to secure
the successful conduct Of the strike.
The fusion rests on an understand
ing that the parties and politicians
are to be ignored in this united
efforts to save labor and production by the
suboroiination OF corporations and the de-
struction OF syndicates, rings, corners and
other ends to the accumulation OF great
wealth. All classes are admissible to
membership, except bankers, lawyers.
saloon keepers, gamblers and professional
politicians. 1t is claimed by delegates that
the aim OF the assembly is not to promote
strikes, but to prevent them by arbitra-
ton, to which end Il committee
with controlling powers over local assem-
blies, will be created. Where the work Of
arbitrators appointed from tine opposing
interest is not satisfactory disinterested
parties are to be called in, whose decision
must be accepted; but should the corpora
tion refuse their consent to arbitrate, then
strikes may be inaugurated as Il last resort.
There will be no fusion with either the Pro-
hibitionists or the anti ti-Prohibitionists. and
the rapid growth OF the order precludes the
probability of collusion with any OF the
existing great parties.
