Investigating the Funds.

Chas. Delay, of Little Rock,
Ark, one of the leaders of the "no-
bic orLer" in that section, arrived in
this city Yesterday, and there is a
good deal of mystery connected with
his visit. 1t appears that there is a
desire on the part Of certain local
strikers to have the disbursing com.
mittee make statement as to the
amount of funds received during the
strike for the benefit of the men, and
the amount actually paid out. This
was what led to the trouble between
Fred. Page and John Walshe on
Sa urday last. Walshe had not, up
to that time, received dollar at the
hands of the distursing committee !;
and when he learned that others, no
more worthy, had received consider
able sums, he sought an explanation
at Pages hands. The latter had
been drinking, consequently was
quite ugly, and the only Won
der is that Walshe did not
put monumental head OH
him. Page declined the invitation to
engage in pugiIistic exercise, how
ever, and after time became very
profuse in his apologies, finally wind
ing up by giving Walshe the sum of
$40.
There are others who, like Walshe,
want to know what has become of the
funds sent here for distribution.
While they do not openly allege that
there has been any crookedness, they
say an explanation from the disbursing
committee is necessary, and for this
re son they summoned IT. Delay,
who is authorized to examine the
books. There may be some interest
ing developments, in which case the
BAzoo will keep its readers posted.

A Plain Answer.H

Mr.. Powderly requests from the
press a candid expression of opinion
regarding the discharge of certain
workers because they chose to join the
Knights of Labor The employers,
he affirms, had no other reason tor
the discharge, and were simply en-
gagged in boycotting the workmen and
trying to punish them for exercising
their rights as free citizens. Mr..
Powderly shall have as frank and ex-
plicit an answer as he can wish.
If the Knights of Labor had acted
upon the principles which Mr.. Pow
derby avows in his published letters,
no sane manufacturer would ever
have dreamed of discharging men for
joining that organization Such an
organization of workers as Mr. Pow
derby would like to make the Kni- hts
of Labor would be a blessing, not
only to the men employed, but to all
employers as well.
But the Knights of Labor, as Mr..
Powderly knows to his sorrow, have
not acted upon these principles. Not
to refer to conspicuous and painful in
stances, Mr.. Powderly knows that
his tables are loaded with letters tell
ing of strikes begun without decent
reason or attempt to arbitrate, of
strikes which are naked attempts by
an organization to dictate to employ
ers, and to prove Its power in order to
enlist more men. He knows that
hundreds of boy colts have been de-
clared and sustained by organizations
called Knights of Labor, many of
them in violation of the law, and all
of them intended to rob some free
workers of their rights. He knows
that his organization as a whole has
not denounced nor disavowed these
things, not made any attempt TO stop
them. The fact is that the world is
waiting with some interest to see
whether Mr.. Powderly himself can
stay at the head of the order after he
has given toB its members advice to
behave as law-abiding citizens and
sensible men.
The organization therefore means
one thing in one town, and another
thing I'm another. 1t means one thing
in one trade, and different thing al.
together In another trade. Every
employer is bound to take it as he |
finds it in his own town and in his |
own business.
Where the Knights of Labor be-
have as the organization ought to be-
have, and as Grand Master Powderly |
has tried to make it behave, an en-
ployer il both foolish and acting con-
trary to his duties as a good citizen if
he attempts to coerce men to leave or
not to join the organization. But
where an employer finds the organiza-
ton behaving as it has behaved in
thousands of cases which Mr.. Pow
derby himself has felt compelled to re-
Duke, the employer not only has the
right, but it is public duty, to re-
fuse to support, encourage or in any
way to countenance a pernicious con-
spiracy against free laborers.-New
York Tribune.

am a striker, but here recently
have been asking myself, "why did
We strikei" and the answer comes
back, "because Martin Irons ordered
it." The sawed-off chairman had a
little brief authority, and in drunken
moment ordered the greatest strike
the world has ever known. What
cares Irons of the suferings of the
thousands he has, by his action,
thrown out of employment? Not a
dinker's d-n. He is a heartless
wretch at best, and no doubt does not
give thought to those whom he has
made outcasts.

seeing the chairman yesterday. He
looked very tough and forsaken, wan
dering alone in the graveyard, going
there to avoid the cursing rage of his
former followers. In other words, he
has skipped. Folding his tent like
the Arab, he quickly stole away in
the still of the night, to 60 where the
woodbine twineth. May he get his

The strike is ended, and families
are suffering in our city to-day. We
are locked out by the system of black

damnable fiend, Martin Irons. Giant

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.


A sieighlng Party Run Down by n Locomo-
Others Injured.
EDGERToY, o., Feb CA serious acci-
dent occurred here Thursday night, about
1880 o'clock, to a sleighing party, which
will result in the death of two of the partlci-
pants. The party consisted of thirteen young
people from the vicinity, about two miles
north of this place, ,who were out for a
leasure drive, and while near the
iailroad crossing, the team became UNI
manageable, and dashed upon the railroad
track in front Of an east bound freight train.
The driver tried to turn the team before
reaching the track, but only partially sue
ceeded, the engine striking the sleigh near
the center, demolishing II, and throwing the
occupants violently TO the ground. Their
escape from an instant death being mlracu-
lous.
Others Of the party were more or less
injured. Campbell and Wright we're thrown
upon the pilot Of the locomotive and carried
distance Of half mile, before being dis
covered. The injured were taken to the
drug stores and physicians summoned.
The injured are VIM. Harker. aged
twenty-one, skull crushed, very critical;
Miss Mary Weldman, severe scalp wound

BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

Continual Snow Storms Have Seriously
Checked the Movement OF Merchandise
industrial situation Better Than for Two
Years Past.
New YORK, Feb. Especial kilograms
to Bradstreets indicate that the continual
snow storms South, West and Northwest
have checked the movement Of merchandise
more seriously than In the East. The very
low temperature has raised doubts as to the
condition Of Western range cattle. The
country roads in the interior have In many
localities again become impossible and
country merchants find business at low
point. Tho late snow blockade on Western
railroads at Iowa shipping points has been
removed.
The leading distributing centers East and
West with the exception Of Cleveland, Chi
cago and Milwaukee, report general trade
less active than one week ago. At Phila-
delphia decline In the volume Of merchan.
disc distributed is admitted, though traders
there continue hopeful of good spring
trade with an early return Of moderate
weather.
There has been no gain or loss worth men
tioning In any Of the more important lines
at Boston, while at Baltimore the distribu-
tion has clearly been light, although improv-
ing somewhat at Chicago. Mail orders for
reassortment stocks of dry goods have pre-
vented special dullness and like record Is
given by other leading lines there.
At the East, dry goods are moving freely
from commission houses, prints and glng-
hams being most In demand. There Is a
fair demand for wooden goods from
clothiers. Print cloths are reported slightly
weaker at nominally unchanged prices.
Wool is in moderate request at the seaboard
market, and late contracts by manufacturers
to produce heavy weight goods indicate
probable purchases of raw material to a
stimulating extent The movement OF
boots and shoes has not been quite so brisk,
owing to efforts to obtain an advance of
, from two and one-half to five per cent.
The general industrial situation may be
characterized as in some respects better than
for two years past, but manufacturers in
many cases are reported to refrain from
new ventures through fears Of dic.atlon on
the part of labor organizations.
Prices and demand for pig iron are I'M
changed at the East. There has been a
slight advance West owing to the increase
in railway freight rates. Steel rails are
plainly weak This is explained, as are
the late orders for British steel rails from
the United States, by the complaint made
through Bradstreets that certain American
rail mills have been turning out low grade
rails, to the prejudice of the home product.
The wheat market has been lower and
higher again. On the Pacific coast an ex-
cellent crop outlook and heavy stocks have
depressed wheat. Corn and oats have been
steady and higher.
Grocery staples are depressed, the move
ment of coffee and sugar being behind that
of last year. Tea is slightly improved.
Cheese is easier and dull, and butter Is
nominal.

An Enjoyable Tilt Between Two Witty
Men OF Letters.
Any one who Is witty at the expense
of another, who suffers but can not de-
fend himself, deserves the contempt OF
all kind-hearted people. But when
two persons whose wits are evenly
matched engage in wordy combat, the
tilt is as enjoyable to them as it is
amusing to the world.
Two distinguished men of letters,
one successful author, the other an
editor Of famous comic journal, met
at the dinner-table Of mutual friend.
During the course of the banquet, a
guest Of an inquiring turn of mind
proceeded to interrogate the editor Of
the comic newspaper as to the manner
in which he conducted il.
DO you often," the guest asked,

Oh, yes, very Often" the editor
replied, cheerily, proud Of the capaci-
ties Of the world at large.
There was a momentary pause in the
conversation, broken by the humorist.
Leaning forward and gravely gazing
at the editor, he asked, in voice in
which blind wonder struggled with in
credulity:

CHAPTER XII.


The situation was sufficiently embar-
RAISING. At the moment Mrs. Ire
garthen, Marsh and Phil each felt il to
be nothing less than terrible. Phil was
an especially sensitive lad, unusually
swift to like people, and splendidly GER
tain of the accuracy Of his own secret
intmtions. He had met nobody who
had so impressed him as Mrs. Tregar-
then. He was sure that she was as
good, as pure and womanly as she
looked-as pure as the sweet, perse-
cuted Bertha in the poets comedy.
The faint smile he had twice seen upon
her face had fingered in his mind as
that of a saint in pain. He had identi-
fled her with the part he had seen her
playa thing always easy for ardent
youth, and common enough in the ex-
perience of actresses who are not mod
els of all the virtues, or embodiments
OF wit and sweet temper. That for
once the natural fancies OF a raw lad
were justified was nothing to him. He
could have been quite as certain of
their truth II he had pitched on a new
Jezebel. And he had called this suffer-
ing incarnation of goodness-to her
face-a worthless woman!
The poet, for his part, had the misery
of knowing that he was responsible for
the encounter and the shocking result
which had sprung from it.
A better artist would have told his
story better, and would have wasted
less time on non-essentials, but it is not
too late 10 say here what should have
been set forth earlier. An intellectual
fop had grown into man and had put
away childish things; the man had
fallen In love, in no better or worse
fashion than common, and his passion
had ripened and sobered into most
tender friendship and most profound
respect. He saw genius in Mrs. Ire
garthen's work upon the stage, sorrow
uncomplainingly endured and unde-
served in her daily life; and TO his
mind, after many years Of intimacy,
her soul was an entire and perfect
chrysolite. He loved her still, as o
poet and q gentleman can love q
woman who is out Of the reach of de-
sire, and the phrase the hapless Phil
had used went through him like knife.
Mrs. Tregarthen was true to her in
stincts, and was persuaded that here,
as always, the guilt was hers. She had
entrapped the young man into this ter
rible position.
Forgive me-" she said, brokenly.
II wanted TO hear Of him. have not
heard Of him for so long"
Forgive me-" said the poet, almost
In the same breath with her. II would
have died rather than expose you to
this indignity, and yet did it."
Phil stood silent, but his face and at
titude were enough for retractation
and apology. He had to believe in
