THE TROUBLE AT CUMMINGS.
The Nail Cars Moved in Spite of Torn Up
Rails and Obstructed Tracks.

The Nail Cars Moved in Spite of Torn UP
Rails and Obstructed Tracks.
CHICAGO, June 5.-To-day. as we'll as yester-
day, was full of excitement at Cummings. The
full Hyde Park police force was called out this
afternoon, and women to the number of several
hundred congregated about the crossing of the
belt line and the Rock Island tracks when an
engine was seen coming down to take
out. the nail cars. Upon the arrival
of the engine Superintendent Chamberlain told
do no more. Then the engineer and fireman. at
the request of the mob, left the engine and stood
one side. Superintendent Chamberlain himself
at once boarded the engine. backed to the cars
and the coupling was made. Here trouble com.
menced chunk of coal was thrown which
hit Murphy, the man who did the coupling, on
the arm; another was thrown through the cab
window, narrowly missing Superintendent Cham
berlain's head The police forced the crowd back,
while the women yelled ''scabs" and applied all
sorts of opprobrious epithets. They said If the
police wore men they would take Off their stars
and quit. At this juncture, crowd of men ran
up the track half mile and took out four
lengths of rails, threw them into the ditch
and destroyed the ties. While repairs
were being made the crowd swarmed
about the workmen With but little
delay the police charged and succeeded in driv-
ing the crowd before them, through sloughs and
bushes. During the charge of the police, An
drew Stub and VIM. McGinnis, who were ap-
parently leading the crowd, were arrested and
placed in jail They will be held for melting
riot When the engine finally crossed over
the repaired track and reached the main
branch dozen cars were found standing
in such position across the switch that an hours
time was consumed in making the way clear.
This done, the engine, with the two cars of nails
started for Chicago, but, when Stony Island ave-
nue. was reached, switch was discovered half
turned. Nothing further, however, delayed the
progress Of the train. No attempt will be made
tomorrow to move the other cars, but on Mon
day they will be started, and serious trouble is
0xDected.

Any person entering the Madison House, on
West Fourteenth street, to-day, would have no
ticed corpuent gentleman, about sixty years
of age. with close cropped iron-gray beard,
loungng on a sofa, engrossed in the daily pa
pers. From the rotundity of his form and ex-
pause of shirt front. he might easily have been
mistaken for David Davis. He was "Sir Roger

or sympathize with the wage-workera Look
along the list of delegates to this convention and
you will find them set down in this wise: A po-
licemap an assessor, custom house official, but
he is called something else; stationer, tea
merchant, grocer, merchant, and so on.
Many give no trades, which indicates that they
have none, or are ashamed of what they have,
while many more are known to be simply labor
politicians"
Three proclamations with which this assem-
bly winds up it's work are very significant docu-
ments. The one that contradicts the statement
about the Home Club is fiat denial of the
truth and can not be excused Here it is:
1.-THE members Of the General Assembly OF
the Knights of Labor desire to inform the public
that all newspaper reports of serious dissen-
eions among their number are absolutely un-
founded The General Assembly is practically q
unit on all questions that have been brought be-
fore the body. The reports that the election OF
! the members of the auxiliary executive board is
of any significance also without foundation.
as the members were elected without regard TO
any specific ends or purposes, but according to
the desire and predictions of individual repre-
sentatives. All charges of intrgues and ma
chinations against General Master Workman
Powdery or any member of the executive
board, can have originated only with men anxious
been raised, either in the session or pri-
vately, against the private character
or official action of General Master
Workman Powderly or any member of the ex-
| exutiye board, and the only reason for the cleo
| ton of an auxiliary executive board was to re-
| leve the members of the old board Of the i'm
| mense amount of labor that had accumulated on
| their hands, owing to the extraordinary increase
| in the mem pership of the order. AS these aux
| iiary members have neither voice nor vote In
| the board proper but are to be simply assist
ants their election can by no possibility be con-
| strued to indicate lack of confidence on the
part of this General Assembly in the executive
| beard.
I'VE take special pleasure in expressing our
| most unbounded confidence in the integrity, pa
| triotsm and honesty of purpose not only OF
| General Master Workman Powderly, but every
member of the executive board. and ask all pa
pers that have been misled into publishing state
| ments to the contrary. emanatine from evil dis
| posed and designing not representatives to
| this General Assembly, and in some cases not
mem bers of the ORDER to publish this correction.
The address to the trades unions is an admis-
| sion both of weakness, failure to do what the
convention was called for, and of hostility to
unions.

that Mr. Powderly will tender his resignation as

Tho Pentecostal Anniversary, Sabbath, juno
13, 1886.


This is the only day of the Bible called the
great and notable day of the Lord. It's origin lie
from the giving of the law at Mt Sinai to the
Hebrews only, and commemorated only by them,
as a feast of gadness-rejoicing. 1t began On
the fiftieth day after the passover lamb was
sacrificed in Egypt, as typical of Christ. who was
sacrificed at Jerusalem 1,600 years after Aud
as the giving of the law was fifty days after the
typical, so was the giving of the gospel for all
nations, just fifty days after the sacrifice Of
Christ-the substance. Thus the gospel began
with great rejoicing as feast Of fat things, not
outwardly, as was the Jewish, but inwardlv
compared with living water" which was of great
value in the dry country Of Palestine. And,
why the Christian church should commemorate
all other days and not this day, cannot under
stand, as the sacrifice of Christ would have
been but cold fact without the Pentecostal ex-
perience, which caused the gladness and Joy. In
order to revive the commemoration of this day
suggest to all churches to commemorate the
second Sabbath in June 1886, as the 3446th an
niversary of the Jewish Pentecost, and the
1846th anniversary of the Christian PEN
tecost The Hebrews only had a part in
the blessing Of the law of Moses, while ALI
nations have part in the blessings OF the Cos
pei of Christ. Thus there is distinct line
between the law to the Hebrews only and that
of the gospel of Christ to all nations, beginning
atJerusalem. And this line should be shown by
every one who fills the Office of minister or In
structor of the people from the Bible.
p ST. shall commemorate the above day
whether others do or not, as l have in some way
done for seven years. N. T. COFFIN

Every thing is quiet at the railroad stables.
The. One-hundred and seventeen and the One
hundred-and-elghtieth cross-town line or cars
are running regularly.
This afternoon five cars were run over the
Fourth-avenue road, driven by non-union men.
No effort was made to obstruct them. These
cars were only run between the postofhce ana

tice on their stables calling for men to fill the
places of the strikers. No cars were run on the
Sixth-ayenue line, and no effort was made to.
the company had to employ men to keep the
horses from starving. One OF the Broadway
cars also made trip during the afternoon. and
was lot molested. A car on the Tenth avenue
line was blocked by sand and mud pulled on the
track, and when extricated from this was again
stopped by the overturning OF load or stone on
the track. Several strikers were arrested for
intimidating and assaulting drivers. The en-
ployes of the Fifth-avenue Stage Company
struck to-day without assigning any reason.
Afterwards they returned to work, saying that
they had been laboring under mistake.
The situation in Brooklyn is unchanged. The
Brooklyn City railway ran two or three cars over
its road during the afternoon.
There is nothing new in the status OF the tie
up" tonight. except rumor that u conference
satisfactory to the strikers was had this evening
between them and the railroad authorities, and
that the cars would be running again to NOR
row. This could not be traced to any reliable
source, however. Policemen are il charge of all
the stables, and everything IS quiet The
Fourth-avenue line ran seven cars up to b P. NJ,
when they were called in. The Dry-dock line
ran a couple of cars in charge of policemen.

crease it's complement of cars materially owing
to the large number of passengers The horses
In all the stables are being cared for.

No. 4,103. was arrested at IL o'clock tonight as

spiracy, and it is supposed to have been issued
on the ground that Boyle was one of those who
attempted to induce Third avenue drikers to
leave their cars yesterday. Boyle had long
club concealed in his clothes.
At midnight there is a rumor that the ferries
will join in the ''tie-up." 1t is doubted If such
movement can be made.

Reflect moment that one morning newspaper
sent a tug down tho bay, at great expense to re-
port to its readers how the coming brides trunks
were taken off the steamer.
And another morning paper reminds Mr..
Cleveland obliquely that all his privacy about

pie, who, since the advent OF modern Journalism,
have no private matters.
/ think that Mr.. Joseph Cook, pending the
rise in America Of a Carlyle, might furnish
prelude or two on the rise and decline OF privacy
in private life. The Evening Post would pub
lish them. 1t is an old truth that sudden wealth
means sudden vulgarity, and there is great
deal of sudden wealth in New York. When
fresh merchant prince can't get In his winter
coal on the Fifth avenue without hiring brass
band and gathering a crowd; when the most con-
sentative bellies support the society bulletins, and
the mere going to church on Sunday is converted
into torchight procession and parade on the

reporters and lightning sketch artists, you can
see how even domesticity and devotion are mat
ters of public opinion. If were a rector in

Brother Jones I'm the North.

Cnlcago news.
1t is reported that Rev. Sam Jones's revival
season in Baltimore was an unqualified failure.
AS far as results are concerned, Brother Jones
appears to have accomplished very little since he
began his evangelical work north of Mason and
Dixon's line. The average Northern mind fails
to comprehend the alleged beauty of his negro
humor, and majority of Northern people regard
his low-comedy methods as Incompatible with
the earnest work of conversion. But Brother
Jones has turned his circus-ring genius to large
pecuniary profit. and when he goes back South
he will be able TO live handsomely without fear
of poverty. Of his ability to do a vast amount
of good among his own people we have not the
slightest doubt.
