a An1gne OF Labor Scheme.
CHICAGO, liz. December 13.-Tne1
knights of Labor state executive board, in
session here, spent considerable time to-day,
considering the outcome of measures winch
tney say, 1t succ ssful, will thwart the rapac-
ity of the coal monopolies in CHICAGO and
perhaps other neighboring cities. Agents
OF the order have circulated q paper among
commercial and manufacturing men here,
oy which the signers agree to buy coal of the
knights provided the latter fur
nlsh it at the rate of 81 to $1.5O per
ton under those made by the coal ring.
Ibis document has been signed by about
oOo OF the Leading consumers of coal in this
CITY. Inc knights are rel, ing upon the Co
operative shafts at Connelborg, Indians, land
10 st. Clair county, Illinois, purchased by
the general executive board Of Knights OF
LABOR last year. The capacity of these
mines is &c, coo tons per day. All arrange
ments were made to begin marketing the
coal here the LIST inst. Only one difficulty was
encountered, but that has been insurmoun-
table. 1t is alleged that the Ohio & Missis-
slppl railroad refuses to carry more
that one car load per day for the Knights.
and the Illinois Central declines to carry any
coal whatever. Evidence Is now being taken
by special committee Of the state execu-
tive board concerning the conspiracy against
their mines said to exist between TIE rail-
roads, coal operators and banks. The re-
Gently elected labor representatives will, it
10 announced this evening, bring the evil
dence before the state legislature. A part
OF the evidence consists of aft iavits aud
letters. The advisability of taking legal
measures to compel the roads to carry the
coal 10 now question in connection with
the propriety Of seeking forfeiture of the
Iiiinols Central railroads charter.

"There are times" said slender but
well made young man, "when 1 would
like to be as strong in my arms as John
L. Sullivan himself. Going home on a
late car the other night, in which there
we're two or three ladies and seven or
eight gentlemen, I was made nearly
frantic by the capers Of two young fell
lows who were exhilerated just enough
to believe that they were wits. They
made it a point to indulge in expressions
limiting broadly at vulgarity, and laughed
over their own smartness, as they thought
that they were annoying the ladies with
out giving any excuse to gentleman to
resent it. This was kept up for some
minutes, and the situation was becoming
very embarrassing to the ladies and gen.
tlemen with them, yet no one made q
move.
cat this juncture there staggered in
from the rear platform stalwart 6-foot-
or, apparently drunk as fool. As he
stumbled along he came near stepping
on tLs foot of one Of the ladies. He
stopped, raised his hat with ludicrous
sffectation Of dignifed concern and en-
barrassment, and bowed low, begging her
pardon. As he was in the act of straighten-
ing mp the car lurched and the big man
fell heavily into the lap OF one of the
smart fellows. Struggling to his feet he
turned as if to apologize to the unfOrtu
nate man, tho car lurched again ard he
fell like trip hammer into the lap of
the other. Getting to his feet again he
turned to apologize to him, and came
down on the first one, fairly crushing
him. By this time greatly annoyed, he
swung himself to his feet. turned half
way round, and fell so as to strike them
both. In getting up he struck one Of
the men in the face with his elbow, and
the other behind the ear with his hand
Hallway up he made frantic grab at
the strap, missed it, and came down on
both of them again. He tramped on
their feet and struck them here and there
below the belt and above it, in bis found
BIB to get up, and at last, in sheer des-
peration, the youngsters got ap, and
