of Chief Secretary for Ireland is nevertheless
one of the worst the Tories could have made,
and one of the best from the standpoint of the
Gladstoneites and Nationalist.

TO "DowN" PowDERLY.
The Socialists in the Order Working Against
Him.
Chicago Special.

Chicago Special.
1t is stated here on excellent authority that a
secret cabal Of the socialistic element OF the
Knights of Labor is being formed with view to
downing Mr.. Powderly, and committing the
order to a radical policy but little removed from
that of the hairbrained Martin Irons. Ever
since the Cleveland convention the cabal has
been working in the local and district assemblies
to gain the ascendency and prepare for the meet
ing of the General Assembly at Richmond in Oc-
tober. 1t has been extremely difficult for those
not in the inner circle to understand the origin
and meaning of certain influences which have
been plainly at work in the order for several
weeks past and even the disclosures of the aims
and purposes of the Home Club in the Times did
not make everything clear or explain events
elsewhere. 1t is now known that this move
ment within the order is purely socialistic,
though it is attracting to it many men who are
not Socialists. The head of the cabal is j. R.
Buchanan, of Denver, who was elected mem
Der of the general executive board at the Cleve-
land assembly. The management of the East
ern end of the combination was intrusted to
George E. Mcneil, who was last week defeated
for the Office of secretary and treasurer of the
Worcester Mass Assembly, No. 30. but was at
the same time elected a delegate to the Rich
mond meeting.
The Worcester Assembly has about forty thou
sand members. McNeills effort to be elected
secretary was fought squarely upon the question
OF opposition to or support of Powderly. He
was defeated for the Office, but, by combina-
udtlOu was olecteO QUO VI the uciegateS TO hlcu-
mond. In this city the cabal has been actively
at work, though it has less to show for its la
bors. 1t is believed that not more than ten men
are fully in the secret plans of the anti Powder
ly gang, and it is impossible yet to say what they
will be able to do here.
The State Assembly which met at Streator
ILL.,. few days ago. elected at least two delegates
to the Richmond Assembly which will be sub
servient to the anti-Powderly clique. The main
strength Of the movement is expected, however,
TO come from the East It is hoped that the
socialistic element will be so strong in New
York and New England that the conservative
delegates from the West will be in hopeless
minority. Then Powderly will be cast aside and
the socialistic-anarchist element will have full
swing. Richmond is much nearer to New York
and New England than to the West. and the
schemers expect that full delegation will be
present from points on the Atlantic coast. while
the inland States will be but poorly represented.

ANOTHER BONANZA.
A Rich and Fertile Mari Bed Discov-
cred near OcaIa.

Fran the OcdlG (FLd.) Item.
Mr.. A. L. Waterman reported to an
Item disciple yesterday that he had at
last found the fortune that be had long
wished for, in the discovery Of a rich and
fertile mari bed on his place near the
southern limits of the city. Many time
Mr.. Waterman noticed the large bOulders
peeping out through the sand, but paid
no attention 10 1t, until yesterday morn
ing while walking over his gar
dea Of rare plants, vegetable truck
and fruit trees he made a closer OBJ
servatiOn OF the hill and the two caves on
bis place. Strange TO say, a thought of a
glorious future entered has mind TO the eff
feet that there was something in IL worth
looking after. Several OF the pieces OF
rock were secured, and upon a closer ex-
animation it was found that the best OF
fertilizer could be made from It. 1t is
thought by experts that there is at least
80 per cent, OF fertilizer in it,and Mr.. Wa
terman will, next month, have a gentle
man examine and make an analysis OF
some OF the pieces. There is about II
acres of this mari, which lies upon hill.
There are two caveB near it, which allows
any one TO see the thickness OF the stone.
1t has already been proven that this stone
after being burnt until turned TO a dark
purple color, is splendid fertilizer for
fruit trees and vegetable plants.

broke out, Ran thought that the neighbor-
hood was full of burglars. He seized his
gun, and, stepping to the back door,
asked Nv nos there 20 Nobody answered,
and, as the object kept moving about, Ran
called out "StOp, or I'll shoot your head
off, The object did not stop and he fired
both barrels.
The shot was very effective, and when
be went out to collar his burglar, be
found that he had shot a faVOrite horse
belonging to one Of his neIghbors.
