GALVESTON, Sept. "A special to the
Ncics from Dallas says: The Knights of
Labor to-day perfected an organization of
the grand assembly by %electing n full set
of officers, with Henry Golden, of Calves
ton, as master workman. 1t became
known during the day that the assembly
was waited upon by a committee of five
from the Farmers Union, headed by Pres
ident Dunlap, with a proposition to fuse
with the latter, which was accepted. A
comparison of notes showed that the
Knights of Labor was only organized in
Texas in last March, having since in
creased their membership to almost 10000,
while the Farmers Union had a member
ship of nearly $1,000 in Texas, with a
prospect of controlling IS per cent of the
farmers in six years. Harmony existing
between agriculture and labor is said to
have been proved by a proposition from
the farmers to back the Knights of Labor
with as much as $4,000 a week to secure
a successful conduct of the strike. The
fusion rests on the understanding that
parties and politicians are to be ignored
in the united effort to save labor and
production by the subordination of
corporations and the destruction of ,syndi-
Gates, rings, corners and other aids to the
accumulation of great wealth. All classes
are admissible 10 membership except
bankers, lawyers, saloon keepers, gamblers
and professional politicians. 1t is claimed
by the delegates that the aim of the as
sembly is not to promote strikes, but to
prevent them by arbitration, to which
end a committee with controlling powers
over the local assemblies will be created.
When the work of the arbitrators APP
pointed from the opposing interests is not
satisfactory, disinterested parties are To be
called in. whose determination must be
accepted. But should corporations re-
fuse their consent to arbitrate, then strikes
may be inaugurated as a last resort. The
leading members of the organization say
there will be no fusion with either Prohi-
bitionists or Anti Prohibitionists, aud that
the rapid growth of the order prccludes
the probability of collision with any of
the existing great parties.
A brief session of the committees of the
Knights of Labor and the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe Railway company was held
tonight. 1t adjourned until tomorrow
at II O'Clock, when the treaty will be
finally contaminated. 1t is understood
that hus far the knights have gained
every point. and those still remaining in
dispute are not essentially material to the
issue

A Mysterious. Fatal Disease.

CHARLESTON, W. Va. Sept. "A
great deal of excitement prevails in Clay
county, this state, over a malignant form
of disease which cannot be explained by
local physicians. Every hour brings
the report of another death. The malady
is supposed to be aux, but it is a more
fatal disorder, with symptoms similar to
cholera. In the family of Mr.. Sizemore,
four sons died within a few hours. Others
Of the family are sick with the disease. 1t
is mostly confined to children, who are at
tackled with sickness and die in a very
short time, being paralyzed with pain.
The Sycamore creek region, where the
disease prevails, is sparsely populated with
a hardy class of mountaineers. The d.
sease seems to be of the same nature
as hat which prevailed in southwest
West Virginia and the adjoining part of
Kentucky last year.

ST. JOINS. n. F., Sept. THE Allan
line mail steamer Hanoverian is a total
loss, having gone ashore this morning at
Portugal cave, fourteen miles north by
west of Cape Race. The steamer MIN
rod was dispatched this afternoon to the
rescue of the passengers and crew who
are thought to be safe.
LATER. A gale of wind and a dense
fog prevented the steamer Nimrod from
going to the scene of the wreck. The
Hanoverian left Halifax at noon on Mon
day with ffty-seven passengers and her
normal crew. She experienced fine wealth
er until nearing St. Pierre island, when
an impenetrable fog was encountered and
by false steering, an error Of the compass,
or neglect of taking ~soundings, the steam
er was driven at a high speed into Por-
tugal cave, seven miles east of Trepassey,
where she now lies a total wreck. She
passed a number of hidden rocks which
ripped her bottom almost her entire
length. The main hold is filed with wa
ter and it is not probable the cargo can be
saved. Passengers are now enroute to
Trepassey, where they can receive accom-
modations aud comfort until the war ship
Tenedos reaches them to convey them to
St. Johns. Other steamers will follow
to render assistance. 4 New York steam
er of the Red Gross line has been sig
nailed from Cape Race to proceed to the
scene of the disaster. Steam tugs have
also been despatched to the rescue. No
loss oflife has been reported.

pemand Cor silver Coin increasing.

Demand for Silver Coin Increasing.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-Treasurer Jor-
dan said to-day that the policy adopted by
the treasury department to secure a better
circulation of silver coin is meeting with
gratifying success. During the month Of
August just ended there was paid out
from the different sub-treasuries 81 ,6G7,-
IA in standard dollars, and 81, 49j, 902 in
fractional silver coin, which mounts were
largely in excess of the issue of silver dur
ing the corresponding month of last year.
Jordan says the withdrawal Of one and
two dollar notes from circulation was made
necessary by the rapid accumulation of
silver in the s~ub-treasuries. 1t was ex-
pected in this way to create a demand for
silver coin. That the plan was successful
is shown by the large output Of silver dur
ing the past month.
Complaints or protests against the with.
drawal of one and two dollars notes have
been made. Applications have, however.
been received for large quantities of small
notes. In each case the answer has sim
ply been supplemented for the present

WAsHINGToN CrTY, Aug 8.
1t is probable that the President will
visit Albany after the funeral of Gen.
Grant, before he goes to the mountains
He expects to get there Sunday next.
Secretary Manning, who will spend the
month of August at Watts Hill, Conn.,,

him to Albany. It is expected that Sec
retary Lamar and Attorney General Gar
land will remain in Washington during
the Presidents absence. Other members
of the Cabinet will take vacation.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. Bayard it is
not expected that the Secretary of State
will spend much of the Summer seas IN
in Washington, and Postmaster Gen'l
Villas will spend most of the summer at
their homes. The two former will make
short visits to Washington whenever
their presence is required. 1t is not
definitely settled what day the Presiden-

New York; but it will either be Thurs
day or Friday of this week, most likely
the latter day.

A CARD.

There appeared in the Asheville Ad-
udnce of the 1st inst. an article, copied
from the Waynesville NclUs, a complaint
of some livery man charging Col. A. II.
Andrews $5 for drive from the Swan
nanoa Hotel to the Asheville depot.
The AdUdncs makes an explanation of
the affair, but fails to state who the
livery man was; and as the public didn't
know, we called at the Office of the Ad-
Uance Saturday evening and asked the
Editor to state that it WAS not us but. he
has kept silent on that matter, possibly
thinking that six livery stables could
stand it better than one. That is for
him to explain.
We did not state who the livery man
was, but wish to say to the public that it
was not done at our stables. If any
such charge should be made by our
drivers, report the matter to US and you
will always get reasonable charges. even
if at midnight. We invite the citizens
of Asheville and all visitors to call on us
and they shall have good teams and fair
dealing. Barnard's stables are on Wal.
nut street and Stansill's in rear of Post
Office. Respectfully,

A AGREAT FIREINTORONTO
Loss several Millions of Dol
lars.

TORONTO, CANADA, Aug. 8.
One of the most destructive fires that
ever has taken place in Toronto COM
menced at 1890 this morning in the
large building occupied by the sugar re-
fning company on the Esplanade. A
strong wind, blowing from the east, car.
ried chunks of burning timber along the
Esplanade, igniting the wooden build
ings as far west or blocks In short
time the refinery and number of other
buildings were burned. Three schoon-
ers were burned to the waters edge. The
FIRE is a half mile in length.
LATER.
2:45 q. m. the work of the destruction
on the Esplanade still goes on, the fam
es having reached the. intervening bull
dings. and wharves having been burned
to the ground. The Great Western
freight sheds, formerly the passenger
station on the north side of the Esplan-
ade, was on fire and in immenent dan
ger, and was expected to be in flames
every moment. The steamer Chicora is
getting up steam to go out into the lake,
the steamer Ontario got up steam, and
began to tow out the steamer Mazeppa,
but schooner blocked the way and they
could not get out, the Mazeppa has
caught fire and the three will have to
succumb unless the wind changes, the
whole south side of the Esplanade as far
as Union station will undoubtedly perish
Showers of sparks are being carried to
the opposite side of the street; and if the
buildings there catch fire there is no say
ing what immense danger will be done.
The fire brigade is absolutely powerless
1t is feared that the watchman Worth of
the sugar refinery has lost his life, as he
has not been seen since the fire started.
VIM. McCalum, seaman of the schooner
Annie MulveY, is dangerously burned
about the head. Several elevators, coal
yards, schooners, ferry boats, &C., and
many boat hoases are among the pro-
perty burned. The loss so far is estima-
ted at over several millions of dollars.
LATER STILL.
$50 a. m. SO far the fire has been nm
able to cross Grape, Scott, and Yonge
streets and wharves, but is completing
the destruction on the paths it has al
ready travelled. A hurricane has just
sprung up from the Southeast, which
threatens to drive the fire across the
street to the main part side are burned
SO nearly to the ground THAT unless =tirc
main part of the city catches fire from
the sparks, it is thor ght to be safe.

4:30 a. m. the fire is now under control
