OMAHA, Neb., Sept. GA formal answer
Of the Knights of Labor TO the recent mani
festo Of Manager Galloway, of the Union
Pacific has received At headquarters from
Denver. It is lengthy document signed
by the executive committee of the Union
Pacific employees and Thomas NeasLam,
chairman, in substance being criticism of
Cailoway's letter, charging him with trying
to mislead the public, accusing him of max
ing misstatements and championing the
cause of the Chinese; charging him with
knowing that both Rockwith Quinn and
Dockart, the former being the contracting
agent and the latter general superintendent
of the local department, were apprised of the
grievances that occurred at Rock Springs,
and that instead Of trying to redress the
same added to them. The Knights en-
phatically state that they abhor the action
taken by the outraged miners Ms much as
any one; they inform the Union Pacific that
they caa get all the white labor it requires
from citizens of this country and there is no
excuse for the retention of the Chinese.
"We are law-abiding citizens" say they,
"snd we mean to remain so until our tights
and liberties are jeopsrdized, then the first
law Of nature will guide u.s." They charge
Galloway with abuse of confidence in giving
the recent private correspondence TO the
public. They further state that they did
not make a demand, but simply sent in q
request or petition asking the Union Pacific
director to remove the Chinese from the
compsny's employ, which is now being cir
culated in Omaha and all along the entire
road for the signature of citizens as well a.
employees.

RALEIGH, N. c., Sept. 29.-Last night
four negroes, Jerry Finch, his wife, Lee
Tyston and John Pattishill, were lynched
ono mile from Pittsboro, Chatham county.
They were taken from Jail and their bodies
found this morning near public road. This
is sequel to triple murder of the Finch
family, on the night Of the 4th of last July,
and the murder Of the Gunter family some
eighteen months ago. There were two of
the Finch family, Edward, aged 70, and his
sister, aged 81. They were found on the
morning of Sunday, July 9th, lying on the
floor with their throats cut. Near them lay
their servant, negro boy l6 years old. All
had been knocked in the head with an az.
Suspicion early rested on the negro Jerry
Finch. and he was arrested. 1t was great
task from the first to prevent the lynching
Of these parties. Lee Tyston was afterwards
arrested, and some time later, John Patti
shell was taken on the charge Of being con-
cerned in the Gunter murder and possibly
in the Fin ch murder The verdict Of the
coroner's jury was long delayed. The feel
ing was that If 1t was adverse to the prison.
ers they would probably be lynched. The
verdict when rendered was against the pris-
oners. A majority of the people appear to
be satisfied that these people were guilty Of
both murders, for the two were mysterious
liz connected

TOPEKA, Sept. 30.-The second day of the
grand reunion of soldiers of Kansas passed
off all right to-day. 1t is now thought that
fully 10000 strangers are in the city and on
the camp grounds. TWENTY-FIVE car loads
of Indiana veterans arrived this afternoon
from Indianapolis. The fambeaux display
on the streets this evening was great sue
cess, the display being both elegant and
elaborate As yet no person arriving has been
allowed to depart without accommodations
having been offered them, both as 70 sleep
ing and eating. The committee on enter
tsinment can furnish sleeping accommoda-
tons for 500 more people. At Camp Grant
the entire day was spent in the holding of
the reunions by the various armies at which
permanent organizations we're perfected.
Tomorrow the sham battle occurs and also
the grand parade.

friend. Adam Hafbauer, has sold of

Also that our energetic convivial and

the same initiatory steps for the pur-
pose, we are informed, of casting his
lot with the citizens Of the Lone Star
republic, until we ascertain that they
have not only bettered their condition
but that their places, which are hard
indeed to fill, are not occupied by
worse material.
We know of some and are credibly
informed that the most of the fine
feeding places with which nature has
supplied our vicinity will be appro-
priated to said purposes by strong
firms, fattening large herds of cattle
and hogs, which will of course help

go P. M.-The day is splendid for play,
barring slight wind. The crowd began
assembling At noon aud by the time the
gates opened, at o'clock, there were 1000
people ready to come in. New York took
the field at 2.40 and were handsomely well
coined BY the audience.
There was an indesciibable scene of tu-
multuous cheering and hat-swinging at the
White Stocking ball park this afternoon at
the close OF the ninth inning, when it was
certain that victory had again perched on

giving them an almost indisputable claim to
the national league pennant. They defeat

constantly threatened. The audience was
kept clear Of the field, however, to prevent
any possible interference with the work of
the out-fslders, and by this no ground rules
were necessary. The Chicagos scored their
runs in the fourth and seventh innings, both
Of which were earned. The first was made
by two base hit from Daley's bat followed
BY q one base hit by Gore bringing in Daley.
In the seventh inning, with two men out,
Pfeifer scored clean home run over the

Cured being credited on the Chicago side

at every point and the score was
kept SO low that clean base
hit at four or five stages of the game would
have turned the tide in either direction.
Five men on the New York side died ON
bases for the need of clean hit, while the
Chicago's had only one, keefe, for the New
Workers, pitched without an error, and was
batted for fine hits for total of nine bases,
while the New YORK batmen confined them

cleaner fielding than was exhibited by the
