THE WINDMILL OF HOLLAND.

Most of these windmills are substantially
built, and many of them cost from 81 900 to
$500 each. They are built to stay, and de-
scend from father to son. The greatest num-
Der of them are used for tho pumping Of
water out of the small canals into the larger
ones, which, as q rule, are built above the
surface of the rest of the country. Even the
beds of these big canals are often above the
level of the fields through which they flow,
and tho water must be pumped from one
series of canals into q higher series and then
into other canals still higher, until ut last it
gets into those above the level of the sea and
flows off.
These Holland canals are almost level, and
the water grows sluggish and Shiny in some
of them. In many q green weed grows,
which entirely covers the face of the water,
and in some Of those of the cities water is
pumped to keep them moving.
The principal canals ore as wide as an or
binary city street, or about sixty feet. They
are Just deep enough to cover the head OF 4
six foot man when standing up in them, and
at the sea they have massive food gates TO
keep the waves from backing up during a
storm.
They form q perfect network throughout
Holland, and are the highways and market
roads of the country. Both in the cities
and in the country the largest Of them arc
filed with ships and boats, and looking over
the bend you sec great ships apparently
walking through the green grass or sticking
their tall masts out of lines OF great trees.
Now and then you pass along ono Of these
canals and see its hundred quaint scenes OF
canal life. Great beats G!lcd with loads OF
vegetables, wheat and straw and pulled along
by men or by horses. In Some cases the men
have straps across their breasts, and they lean
forward upon these, straininS their every
muscle to drag The boats along. In others
dogs are harnesSed up and help the men pull,
and in Others women and ncn push along tao
boats with long poles which are fastened into
their prows and cxterd out ct right angles to
t. shore. The woman and the boy OF tho
peasant has 4 hard timc in Holland. / saw
one little boy Of IA in harness, pulling a
great canal boat, while his master or fathor,
l know not which, sat IN the boat and lazily
smoked as the boat moved slowly on up the
water.

Uharges Against New York knights o

LABOR
A New York dispatch OF the 18th
inst. says: The General Assembly
OF the Knights of Labor in Cleve-
land appointed a committee to
investigate the charges made against
she home club in the circulars of John
MORRISON, George X. Lloyd and ?. C..
Ma.ure. The members of the COM
snittee have come to this city and are
at 81 downtown hotel. There are a
iarse number OF witnesses to be ex-
a mined, and much documentary evil
denee will be presented. 1t is supposed
Uhat 1t Will take two weeks to COM
piete the investigation. The charges
are IN substance that body of
men in New York, headed by T. B.
Mcguire, district master workman OF
district No. 40, James E. Quinn, one
OF the auxiliary members OF the gen
efat executive board, and Victor
Drury formed the home club, whose
real purpose was first TO gain control
OF the labor movement in this CITY,
and then to get control OF the entire
o-der and to run the Knights of Labor
Tor their own personal ends. They
nave carried out the first part OF the
programme, it is alleged, by the most
questionable means and have nearly
SUGGESTED IN the last. The members
OF the home club deny all the charges
%nd say that they court rather than
lear the fullest Investigation. The
committee will begin the investigation
today.

TKLDEN'S WILL.
The Document Read at Greystone In the
Presence of Relatives.

The will OF Samuel ]. Tilden was read
g. Greystone on the afternoon OF the
9th in the presence of all the relatives
except those in the West. The docu-
ment is long one. Mr.. Bigelow, An
drew H. Green and George w. Smith
are named as executors and trustees.
All OF Mr.. Tilden's kindred are gener-
erously provided for in this way; The
whole estate is placed in the hands Of
the executors as trustees. Each heir
is to receive an equal share in the line
OF his or her consanguinity. That is
nephews and nieces equal amounts
and their children certain amounts,
but they are to receive only the
income derived rom an equal
separate specific sum, the principal at
their death % be disposed OF in a
manner which Mr.. Bigelow could not
state. None OF his relatives, he said,
except Mrs. Mary B. Pelton, his sis
ter, are given any specific bequest for
ever. To her he bequeaths the resi-
dence, 3S West Thirty eighth Street,
and 100000 to live upon. All OF his
real estate except this place is placed
in his executors hands, to be dis
posed OF as they see fit, either by sale,
rental or exchange. Greystone and
the Gramercy Park property fall un-
der the same rule. The executors are
first charged with the duty of setting
apart for his relatives the esums named
for them, from which the several in
comes are to be derived. This done,
it becomes the duty OF the executors
and trustees to carry out his
wishes regarding certain public
benefciaries. They are charged with
the duty, first, OF establish
ing free library in the village OF New
Lebanon, also in Yonkers, and if in the
discretion OF the trustees they choose
to establish a free library in New York,
they may do so, and, if not, they are
at liberty to use the funds that q free
library would cost in the promotion
OF any charitableo or reducationalc cause.
A great deal is left to the discretion OF
the trustees. In general terms the
relatives are handsomely taken care
Of. All the residue is devoted to pub
&c good, and the trustees are charged
18th the responsible duty OF choosing
such methods as shall prove the great
est good TO the public in the disposi-
ton OF this property. The estate is
not as large as estimated by some
people. The valus has beer placed GJ
S1O,O0O,000, but Mr.. Bjgelow says
this is double its actual value.

4 POWERFUL oRGAsIzATION.
Co1ored knights of Labor with q HEM
bership of Fifty Thousand.

Bership of Fifty Thousand.
A Chicago dispatch OF the 10Th
states that a convention, which
has been holding secret sessions
at Central Hall, with an attend
ance OF 5000 delegates, has brought
to light the fact that there Is
q secret colored organization in this
country, with membership OF over
$4,000. It's name is the Knights OF
Labor, Damon and Pythias; while
the female relatives Of it's men,
bers have q side organization known
as the Daughters of Labor.
This order OF which, from
its quiet movements, little has been
known, was formed in Galena, H.,
the home of Gen. Grant, in 1858,
by Rev. Moses Dickson, under the
name OF the Knights OF Liberty, its
object being to aid the underground
railroad in conveying slaves to free
states. At the close OF the war its IT,
tie was changed from Knights Of Lib
erty to its present one. 1t has
today a membership in twenty-five
souri,, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas,
LOuISIhHaj MlsSlSslppIJ NeUFdSKd,
Minnesota and Kentucky, and is said
to be rapidly growing. One Of the
most important questions under the
consideration of the present conven-
ton, was that of extending the order
to the East, which is understood to
have been decided favorably. The or
der'annually distributes thousands OF
dollars IN funeral and sick benefits;
and should it, as is urged by some OF
its prominent members, determine TO
take part in politics, it would be in
a position to WELD considerable in
huence.

was saved by the crew of the
tug Thomas Winch. The schoon-
er did not sink and was towed
to Deer Island. The black sloop
yacht Frolic was running past Deer
Island when she was struck by the
squan. She eapsized and sank at
once. A man who pulled out to the
spot where she went down succeeded
in picking up coat containing letters
addressed to James Lansing, OF Bos-
ton Highlands. Everyone on board
was lost. Accounts differ as to the
number lost, but the best information
seems to be that six persons perished.
Winslow l.. Hayden, owner OF the
yacht and an excellent skipper, was at
the helm. He was a professor OF
music, 42 years old and married. The
others known to be lost were Fred. w.
Hayden, Il years old, and Edward
Hayden, 13 years, sons of the owner,
William p. Henderson, 10 years, liv
ing In South Boston, and James w.
Lansing, "a years old, married.

Evidence at Oshkosh Going ~ shoss That
the Bonds Have Been Paid.
OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug. Ii An I'M
portant discovery was made yester
day in the Lull bond matter. It was
ascertained by an examination OF the
records at the city clerks and
treeSurer's offices that they showed
that the bonds which Albert
G. Lull claims to own and threat
ened last week to sue for had been
paid by the then city treasurer, Loper.
The history of these bonds Is as fol-
lows: In 1857 the old Winnebago
Railroad Company was formed. The
city voted bonds TO aid IN its con-
struction and took stock in the
road in payment. Albert G. l.ull
became the owner OF eight Of
these bonds, numbered %, %, 2l. 80,
50, 81, 3S and 80, with face
value OF $500 and amounting to
$4,000 in the aggregate. Mr. Lull, as
a member of the Winnebago Railroad
Company, signed as surety a boAd to
the city OF Oshkosh that the company
would construct a certain number
OF miles OF road, and other Condl-
tions, the intent being to pro-
tect the city against loss on ac.
count of the bonds which it had
issued in aid OF the construction OF
the road. The Winnebago Railroad
Company never fulfilled the obliga-
tions which had been made 10 the
bond, and Mr.. Lull, with others who
had signed the bond, became liable as
sureties. Mr.. Lull, therefore, could
not collect the bonds nor the interest
thereon from the city, as the city had
an offset against him as surety on the
companys bond to the city. Some
time about 1878 or 1874 Mr.. Lull
transferred the bonds and coupons to
Hiram Richards, and from him they
were transferred to Samuel Ashton, Of
Chicago, who brought suit and recov-
cred between 81, 900 and $S, COCOON the
coupons, being interest down TO the
time the Judgment was rendered. Mr.
| Richards claims that about the time
of the suit he turned the bonds over
| to Mr.. Ashton's attorneys, Ind that
! during the great fire the safe belonging
TO the attorneys was badly damaged
| and some OF the contents. including
the bonds in question, destroyed.
Since then nothing had been done by
Mr.. I4ulI to collect the bonds until last
week, when he threatened to transfer
his interest in them to some third
party who would sue the city, and
prove by oral testimony Mr.. LulFs
| property In them.

MARINE EIPERInEgr.
A Pennsyivania Man Who Intends TO
kevolutiontze TraYeI hx Mater.


PTrsBURG, Pa, Aug. 13.-An order
for iron plates was given to one OF our
rolling mills, yesterday, by John
Dougherty, OF Mount Union, Pa, for
use In an experiment which is expect
ed TO revolutionize travel by water.
The plates are to be used by Mr..
Dougherty in constructing the folding
paddles for patent rapid transit
steamboat which he is about to build
on the Allegheny River. When
completed the boat will make
a trial trip to New Orleans
20 prove the practicability OF Mr..
Dougherty's idea. The boat which is
TO test the usefulness of this patent is
to be 33 feet wide, 165 feet long on
the water line and It's or $50 feet
tlrely OF wood. Its weight without
the engine will be about forty-five
tons, and when it has on board the en-.
CINE and $50 passengers its draft Of
water will be less than six inches
On each side OF it will be
two folding paddles sinking deep
into the water. The paddles
will open when going backward go
they will move the largest possible
body OF water, but the change to for
ward motion will, by the agency Of
springs, close the paddles, and thus re-
duce the resistance to q minimum.
There will also be under the center
OF the vessel two propelling
poles, which are intended to
drive the vessel through shoal
water by striking the bottom OF
the river. Mr.. Dougherty calculates
that his patent will so ogreatly increase
the speed OF traffic on the river that
he will be able to make the trip from
Pittsburg to New Orleans and back in
a week, the time now taken by the
fastest boats to make the round trip
to Cincinnati. The present venture Is
made on q river, not because the in
ventor believes that folding paddles
cannot be used on the ocean, but
because he wishes to make his
first trial on waters free from waves.
When he has once put his principle
successfully into practice he will set to
work to apply it to ocean travel. He
is confident that he will be able to re-
duce the time occupied in crossing the
Atlantic by the shortest route, that
from Southampton to Halifax, to twen-
ty-four hours and that from New York
to Calcutta to ten days.

GEN. ITGTR SHOT.
A COlored Ruffisn Fires Four Times at
the Wel-Known Officer.

Al
Gen. Christopher c. Augur, retired
United States army, was shot four
times, about 1 O'Clock on the morning
OF the 18th, at his residence in Wash
ington, by negro named William
Pope. Pope and another colored
man were standing in front OF the gen.
erals residence, using profane and OBJ
scene language, when he opened the
door and ordered them to move away
The only response he received was a
volley OF profane abuse and coarse
epithets. This was more than he
could stand, and, armed with light
cane, he rushed upon the two men
and struck Pope sharp blow over
the head. AS he did so the negro
drew pistol and fired. The ball
struck Gen. Augur in the right leg,
above the knee, and with a cry he
staggered back. Before he could re-
cover himself, Pope fired again, and
the ball took effect in the right leg
Two more shots followed, one of which
struck the general in the left leg and
the other in the side. The negro who
fired the shots is a notorious charac-
ter who has already served a term in
the penitentiary for murder. He was
arrested.
