He has been sent by Powderly to do what is
possible to settle the strike. 1t Is believed he
may arrange a compromise.
ANNA. ILL.,, Nov. IL. john w. Wilson, the
supreme court refused to interfere In the case
a few days ago. and appeals TO Governor
Oeiesby for clemency also proved f~ruitless.
wilson has all along believed that he would
escape the gallows, and was considerably
broken up IN mind and body when he learned
that all hope had vanished.
The crime WAS committed on the afternoon
OF January 9TH OF the present year, at West
Saratoga, this county. Wilson was a shoe
maker by trade, but had the rt putation Of an
habitual loafer. He separated from his wife,
leaving her with seven children In a destitute
condition. On the afternoon Of the murder,
after an absence OF six weeks, he reappeared
The ueighbors we're at the house replenishing
Mrs. Wilson'S wood pile az an act Of charity.
Wilson knew them and spoke to all them. He
then walked into the house and without a
word began shooting at his wife. She started
to run but fell dead on the threshold, her
body pierced with five bullets. Wilson made
no attempt To escape but feigned insanity. A
months incarceration, however, was sufficient
to demonstrate that he was perfectly sane,
and his prompt trial and conviction followed.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-It Is learned from a
Baltimore council, which deprecates the sol
emnization Of Roman Catholic marriages at
night will heuceforth be rigidly enforced
throughout this diocese, and that the bishops
and archbishops OF all the dioceses in the
west and the northwest will instruct the
priests to impress the decree upon their con-
gregations. So far Archbishop Feehan has
not found 1t necessary TO follow the example
Of Archbishop Ryan, Of Philadelphia. who
has absolutely enjoincd his priests from assis-
ting at marriages after sun down, but 1t is un-
derstood that he will take this step should
any OF his clerical flock show an inclination
toward indulgence. Exceptions will Of course
be made in cases of illness or other urgent
circumstances, but otherwise priests are in
structed 10 insist upon a morning ceremony
in church with full nuptial mass. This mat
ter was the subject OF quite a long and ami
mated debate at the Baltimore council, and 1t
was the almost unanimous opinion that 1t
was necessary In order that both groom and
bride should properly realize the Importance
OF the step about TO be taken that they should
make a general confession and be prepared
to receive the holy communion at nuptial
mass, and that the ceremony should be sur
rounded with all the impressions possible. II
may be taken for granted that there will be
no more five minute weddings In Catholic
churches in this part of the country at
least.
CHICAGO. Nov. l3~.-Congrcssman Frank
Lawler has made arrangements for a meeting
OF there's esentatives Of the packers and the
Knights OF Labor, and it is expected the
stock yards strike will be settled today.
Delegate Carlton, OF Boston, sent here by
Powderly to look into the strike, said this
morning: IF the conference with the packers
resulted in 40 agreement the men would have
to give In and go to work or seek other fields
of labor" He also said: there has been q
! good deal Of talk about orders from Mr.. Pow
derry declaring the strike off, but there WAS
nothing in it. Mr.. Powderly had given no
such orders. The strike at present is merely
a local affair, ordered by the district
assembly aud the order has nothing
of direct interest beyond the common
regard for the good Of the entire body, which
Carleton said he was here 10 look after.
When asked If he though the strikers were
in the right, be said it was a delicate point
for him 10 talk on. The men have had a
taste of eight hours and are naturally anxious
to continue the system. Shut up in their lit
tie community they had no opportunity
Of Judging Of the state of other markets
and hours, and prices of labor, and do not re-
alizc the situation and condition at other
places. Everything was quiet at the wards to-
day. The guards go their rounds. The strik-
ers gather here and there discussing TIE state
of affairs. A train load Of new hands arrived
this morning and went to the yards without
molestation.
LACROSSE, Wis, Nov. 13.-The Anti.Law
and Order League, the organization Of saloon
keepers and others who are opposed to the en-
forcement of the blue laws, declares its in
t~ention Of renewing its crusade tomorrow.
The telegraph company has SO far yielded to
the "anti' element as to order that no mes
sages excepting those on signal service or
other government business shall be received
or sent tomorrow. The names Of all street
car employees, paid singers in churches and
newspaper employees who are found pursuing
their regular avocations will be taken and
prosecutions instituted next week. Despite
the local IL feeling which prevails over this
method Of retaliation the saloonists are ap-
parently determined to keep it up until all
possibility OF arranging a compromise has
vanished. Then they will submit to the in.
eyitable.
