NEw YORK, Sept, 2S-Sixty delegates of
district assembly No. 40 will attend the gen
eral assembly of the knights of Labor in
Richmond, Va. every knight of Labor"
said one of these delegates Sunday, when he
enters the order knows that his obligation
makes him disregard the color, creed, and
nationality of his fellow-membes District
40 has now among its members number of
colored men One of these colorei men hap
pens to be n delegate. In fact, he was one of
the first chosen. When our committee was
making arrangements with Col Murphy of
the Merchants hotel of Richmond he
said he would gladly acconmo-
date forty nine, but he could not
DEFY the custom and usages of
the city by allowing the tolored man equal
rights and privileges with those of his white
fellow delegates The colorcd delegate, when
he heard this, secured place for himself, and
said the other delegates could select any hotel
they liked Tho other delegates, however, by
a unanimous vote, declared they would only
so where their colored brother was admitted
on the same footing.
"Ihe assembly then looked about to devise
a way out of the trouble 1t finally sent the
eolored delegate and white brother to Rich
mond to secure board for the entire delega-
ton among colored families in that city, No
member of 40 will board anywhere except
with colored family. This action of 20, we
hope, will work good, and be of great benefit
to us and humanity.
In Richmond there is a district assembly
which ignores the 'colored knights. District |
assembly 49s act will bring, we hope, these
white brothers to their senses and start a |
breakup of the color line We are all anx- |
lous to begin the work 1t may be that the |
greater part of the session of the general as |
sembly will be taken up with this question, |
and not the Home club The Home club is |
not very bad, after all. You ought to have |
heard some OF them on the question of color, |
and they were men who were in Richmond /

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 2S-The labor con

their ability and fitness to discuss the meas
ures proposed for their consideration. A very
important matter will be the election of gen
erai officers, and in all probability Grand

The congress is virtually labor's Legislative

passed upon are awakening much attention

and Loss Of Life in Texas
Towns.

VICTORIA, TEXAS, August 21.-A disastrous
wind storm visited this city yesterday, leaving
obstruction and desOlatiOn in its track. Inc
morning east bound passenger train, which
was standing at the depot here, was blown over
on the platform. The freight depot and the
Masonic hall, both large buildings, are total
wrecks, while the colOred section Is almost
literally swept from the earth. Altogether
there were about 75 houses completely demoi-
ished and lis more or less Dana ed. The loss
is roughly estimated at 100000. News from
Cuero says the storm was very disastrous 10
property there also. Advices from the country
say the storm was very violent, damaging crops
and destroying property.
"A relief party that went down to 1ndianola
report that when the train arrived within four
miles of IndianOla the tracks were washed out
very badly and were partly gone. The party
walked within hall mile OF the town in water
waist deep and could go no further. The peO-
pie there have nothing to eat and no clothes
There are supposed TO be many lives lost, as
many persons are missing. The only body
found was that of the sister-in-law Of MIR.
