Thursday, the Third Day.
The fair opened we'll for dark and
threatening day. There were about
5000 admission tickets sold the second
day and probably the crowd would
count out four or five thousand, includ-
ing children and dead heads. The B.

full, but the Passumpsic trains were
not heavily loaded until this morning.
There was no show of dairy cows and
it is fair to infer that the much talked

Another leading sporting event for Mime
apolis this week, is the catch-as-catch-can
wrestling match on Tuesday evening
at Leland rink. Matsada Sorikichi the
Jap, and Adon Butler, the champion
light weight, are the contestants, and the
conditions are the best three falls in five, for
$500. The best judges are anticipating a
close match. Catch-as-catch-can wrestling is
short, sharp and decisive and the match will
not be drawn out to wearisome length.
Tonight the siX-day bicycle race between
John S. Prince and Albert Schock will begin
at Washington rink. 1t will undoubtedly be
one of the leading sporting events of the
country. Schock is the champion for long
distance and Prince the champion for speed,

rested in this city last night On suspicion of
being the burglar who shot George S. Coe
in Englewood last Wednesday night, had
an examination this morning before Re-
corder McDonough. The prisoner gives
his name as John Hugg. He was badly
wounded about the head. and while his
wounds were being dressed Louis Coe. the
brother of the victim, who beat the burglar
with the butt end of a revolver untilhe fell
unconscious on the ground. arrived at the
station. He was accompanied by Marshal
Jamison of Englewood. When brought
into the presence of the prisoner. young
Coe at once identified him. Hugg pro-
tested his innocence, and said that he had
been in Shadyside all of Thursday and Fri
gay and denied all knowledge of the shoot
ing. He was taken to Englewood. To
morrow he will be brought before the

gahela river, between Dam No. 1 and the
point bridge. The wrecks, however, are
strewn along both the Monongahela and

the disaster was the sudden and rapid rise of
the river. The coal men were looking for high
water, but it came sooner than they expected.

which had broken from its moCringS some
where up the river, came drifting rapidly
down the swiftly-running stream, which
was rising at the rate of six inches an
hour. just below the dam it struck against
a flat of sixteen barges belonging to the
Coal company of Cincinnati. The force
of the shock was so great that the lines
parted and the entire tow started down the
river. Before The runaways had gone far
they encountered twenty barges belonging
to O'Neill d Co., and further down three
bargeS of the Birmingham Coal company,
and one each Of Brown Il Sons and Smeathen

they only recovered eleven of the barges.

severed from the body and lay ten or fifteen
feet away, while Wymer was simply a
shapeless mass of flesh. An eyewitness
said to an Associated Press reporter:
1t is an awful accident, but no one is .to
blame except Wymer himself Just before
they came down this far Wymer had friend
in the wagon with him. This gentleman
strongly urged him not to attempt to cross
the track, but Wymer paid no heed to him.
Then the friend got out of the wagon and left
Wymer to take the chances if he wanted TO.
Wymer was foolish, but it is too late now to
talk about that.
After the train had moved out the dead
and dying were laid on the floor of the little
station, there to await the arrival of medi-
cal aid, although there was no hope that
either mother or child would live until it
could reach them. The coroner at Plym-
outh was notified and will probably hold
and inquest tomorrow. Much sorrow was
expressed among the residents of Inwood
and the passengers at the unfortunate
event, by which an entire family will be
wiped out of existence through the reckless
ness of its head member.

Wonderful Work of the TurmbuII
Inter-Ocean Telephone.


CLEVELAND, O., May. "a public
telephone test was given this afternoon be-
tween here and New York by Count Nit
kiewecz, representing the Turnbull inter-
ocean telephone of Baltimore. The wires
were made up so as to make as long dis
lance as possible and covered circuit of
LOCO miles. A very large and select party
of capitalists. etc., witnessed the test.
A special feature of the test
was the singing of Miss Emma Abbott
and Miss Belina of fhe Abbott Opera COM
pany, both of whom were interested wit
nesses OF the test. Seven receivers were
attached at one time so that that number of
persons could hear at the same time. Songs
were also sung by the parties at New York,
all of which was most distinctly heard by
every one at this end. A test across the
Atlantic ocean will be made with the Turn
bull as soon as the parties who are now on
their way reach Liverpool with the instru-
ments.

BRAVE WORDS BY GIBBONS.
The Archbishop Talks Plainly Re-
garding Anarchy

BALTIMORE, May AT the dedication
to-day of the new church of the holy cross,
In this city. Archbishop Gibbons took adj
vantage of the presence of large number
of foreigners and spoke forcibly on the
signs of anarchism that have recently been
developed in America. In remarks on
loyalty to country he said:
The government of the United States is
government for the benefit of the people
Strangers from every part Of Europe are well
come to our shores. Like the sun that
SHINES for all, the government of our country
sheds its genial rays upon all classes without
rdgard to race nationality or religion. The
glorious banner of our country protects alike
the humble and the poor, the mighty and the
rich. Every man in the United States has an
opportunity for caring for himself an honest
livelihood, and many have opportunities Of
acquiring an independent fortune. The Ger
man population of Baltimore forms an impor-
tant, conservative and influential element and
the same may be said of the German people
throughout the United States, as well of the
other nationalities. They contribute largely
to the development of the resources of this
country and daily augment GU r material pros
perity. But as the events of the last few
days in Chicago have shown there exists in
this country small but $500

These men are land pirates, preying upon the
industry, commerce and trace Of the
country. Their favorite weapon is dyna-
mite. Their mission is to destroy rather
than to build up. Instead of strengthening
the hands of the governme Mt that upholds
and protects them, they are, bent upon its
destruction. Instead of blessing the mother
that opens her arms to welcome them, they
insult and strike her. If these men had their
way industry and trade would be paralized,
honest labor would be unl;ewarded and gaunt
poverty would stalk over the land. They
have no conception of true liberty. They
would retain for themselves the lions share
of freedom, leaving to Others only morsel.
The citizens of the United States enjoy
utmost liberty. but it is 81 liberty of law of
order and authority. Liberty without law de-
generates into license. We have no standing

CLEVELAND, May 9.-The announce
ment is made here that the United States
Express company, which has operated
since 1854 on the New York, Lake Erie e.
Western and New York Pennsylvania &
Ohio railroads, will on Saturday reXt. at
the expiration of its yearly contract, be SUI
perceded by the Pacific Express company
on those lines and their branches. The Pa
cific Express company is controlled by Jay
Gould, who, it is said, desires by means of
the Erie to gain an eastern outlet for the
express business of his southwestern sys-
tenn. 1t is limited that the United States
Express company will transfer its business
from the Erie to the New York, Lackawana
and Western and will have western outlet
over the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.
These changes are to be decided upon at

A SPECIAL SESSION
OF the knights to be Held in Cleve-
land May %.

Special to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, Nd, May 9.-Frederick
Turner, general secretary of the Knights of
Labor, and corps of clerks have been kept
busy during the last two or three days
sending out call for special session of
the general assembly. General Master
Workman Powderly, acting under the au-
thorlty vested in him, has felt that it was
absolutely necessary to call the session.
The causes leading to the calling of the ses-
sion are:
First-That rapidly increasing membership
OF the order requires changes in the laws
which the general executive board has no
authority to make.
Second-The laws in relation to the govern
ment of boycotting are wholly inadeq uate to
compel obedience on the part of asse mblies
that believe in boycotting for every offense,
whether great or small.
Third-The laws in relation to strikes do
not cover the ground necessary to give the
general executive board power to int erfere in
such matters until after the strike mas been
inaugurated
Fourth-The order has become involved in
difficulties with trade socities and an effort
is being made to create rupture between
these societies and the Knights of Labor.
THESE AND OTHER MATTER 5,
which will help to perfect the disc ipline of
the order, will require the careful Clelibera-
tion and cool judgment of the gen eral as
sembly. The most critical period of the
orders history has been reached, and some
means must be devised whereby the ma
chinery of the order may be improv ed The
session will be held in Cleveland I tuesday,
May 25. All representatives who erved at
the session held last October in Hamilton,
Ont, will sit as representati' res in
the special session at Gle veland.
General Master Workman Powderly
has also issued secret circular to the order
everywhere, in which he is very sew ere on
strikes, boycotts, riots, anarchists and. in
temperance. He says:
If every member of the knights of Labor
would only pass a resolution to boycott
strong drink so far as he is concerned for five
years, and would pledge his word to study
the LABOR question from its different stand
points, we would then have an invi1lcible host
arrayed on the side of Justice

the Fort Wayne road this afternoon, was
passing the little station of Inwood, six
miles east of Plymouth, Ind, at six o'clock
this evening, horrible accident occurred,
and four lives will be lost thereby. John
Wymer, a young farmer living mile and
a half east of lnwood, started from his
home this morning accompanied by his
wife and two pretty little daughters, aged 3
end years, and drove out to visit
same friends. After spending the day
they started back and reached Inwood sta
ton just as the express was due. AS his
wagon was passing over the track it was
struck by the engine and both horses We're
killed instantly, as was also Wymer and
the oldest child. His wife and the other
child escaped instant death, but are suffer

bodies of Wymer and the other child are
mangled so as to make them almost unre-
cognizable and they present sickening ap-

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, May 9.-An effort is being
made to secure the election of Martin Irons
as grand master workman of the Knights of
Labor in place of Mr.. PowderIy. Mr.
Powderly's successor is to be chosen at the
annual meeting of the delegates next fall.
Until recently there has been no doubt that
Mr.. Powderly would be elected without
opposition, as he has been since the death
of Uriah Stevens. But if Martin Irons
friends can bring it about, there will be
change in the general board which will
bring Irons in as the head, and give him
associates representing more radical and ag
gressive principles than those for which
Mr.. Powderly has been contending. Mr..
Powderly has been for some time aware of
feeling of dissatisfaction existing, especi-
ally among the members who have recently
joined the order and confined largely, to
those districts that have been established in
the Southwest and in and near PittsDurg.
The first open manifestation of it was the
refusal Of several assemblies to permit his
circular to be read, and next during the
time of the strike on the Southwestern
system,
THE GENERAL BOARD
had at times to use all their disciplinary
fact, the committee threatened to Withdraw
the support of the organization in case Mr..
Irons and his associates further refused to
submit to the direction of the general board.
Nothing but the fact that the general board
received and delivered most of the large
sums of money that were subscribed in
duced Irons to yield sullen subm ission.
He disagreed with the general board on
several matters which the board
regarded as vital. At the next
meeting of the board an attempt will be
made to change the rules so that no strike
or boycott can hereafter be ordered without
the consent of the general board. 1t is on
this issue that the attempt will be made to
defeat Mr.. Powderly. MI. IRONS friends
have been in secret communication with
the leaders in other districts. These. his
frinds think, can be relied upon to send
delegates to the annual meeting. who will
be opposed to taking away from the dis
tricts the power to order strikes and who
will force change in the general board and
the election of Irons as general master
workman.

BALTIMORE, May 9.-Rev. TimOthE
O'Connell, rector of the Protestant Episcos
pal church of All Saints, has been ine
hibited by Bishop Paret from work in thif
diocese. This action of the bishop is based
upon information received from Bishol
Baldwin of Huron, Ont, to the effect thai
Mr.. O'Connell's conduct in that diocese
was not strictly in accordance with the
rules of the church. Mr.. O'Connell denies
that there is any ground for such charges
and claims that he established his innocence
before court of Canada. The vestry of
the church will stand by him, and they
propose to make a fight against the order
OF the bishop. 1t will come up before the
