PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.-General Master
Workman Powderly has written to the
managers of the Labor party in this city
refusing to address the convention Of that
party. He explains that he took part in
the George campaign in New York City
because his name was used by the op-
pcnents of George to discountenance the
movement and he wanted to show that he
favored it. Continuing, he says:
made departure from rule that I have
observed 1oS some time ana Which do not in
tend to break again-viZ not to speak at po-
litical meeting again while hold the position
of chief officer Of the Knights of Labor. At
New York | spoke as an individual voicing the
sentiment of united labor, and not as General
Master Workman of the knights of Labor.
"Iwould not advise you not to take any action
as party. 1t seems to me that it becomes the
duty of all interested to endeavor to educate the
masses to free the ballot-boX from the degrad-
ing influence of the bride giver and talker, as
well as from the tool of monopoly-whisky. Put
forth your every effort to discover what is
wanted in the management of the municipal
affairs of your city; don't, as is too often the
case, allow the interest to die out on the eve Of
election day, but continue until you have To-
Gated the cause of the trouble. You will find
that in order to remove the cause of the trouble
you will have to begin at the bottom and work
up instead of beginning at the top and falling
down. If your movement means what its name
indicates keep it up and elicit the services of all
honest men, for all such are interested in hon

BURNED AT THE STAKE.

Terrible Fate of Fiendish Murderer in
Georgia-Frank Saunders COnfesses Hav-
ing Drained a Family of Five Persons
A Mob's Awful Vengeance.
ToccoA, Ca, Dec. 1S.-George Swilling,
living near Gainesville, was aroused early
Thursday morning by Frank Saunders a
servant of Swilling's brother John, who
told him that John SWilling's house
was atire and that he and his fam
lily, consisting of wife and three chill
dren, were burning up in their
beds. Swilling fastened to the fire
and arrived in time to see the roof fall in.
With the assistance of neighbors the
charred bodies were recovered, when it
was found that each one of the victims had
been Drained with an axe. Saunders hav-
ing disappeared he was suspected of the
crime and was at once pursued and capt
ured five miles from the scene.
At the inquest held on the bodies Saun-
ders confessed the diabolical crime. It
seems that Saunders had been sentenced to
the chain gang, and that the Swilling
brothers had paid his fine and released him
on condition that he work for them until
the fine was paid. He had several times
tried to run away, but had been brought
back by the Swillings. On Wednesday
John Swilling, for whom Saunders was
then working, sold bale of cotton.
That night Saunders made up his mind to
run away again and take the proceeds of
the cotton. Taking an axe, he stole into
the room which Swilling and his wife and
children occupied together, and Drained the
sleeping people one after another Then, to
hide the evidences of the crime, he poured
kerosene oil over the bed and set it on fire
Going outside, he waited until the house
was in flames and the roof ready to fall,
when he ran to George Swilling's and gave
the alarm of fire.
After his confession Saunders was seized
by mob and carried off. A courier who
reached Toccoa at ten o'clock last night
brings the news that he was burned to
death on the scene Of his crime. The crowd
was quiet but determined. They told him
that the only mercy he could expect was
that which he had shown to others Before
he was cast into the flames he made anoth-

Saunders was a hard character. At the
age of sixteen he forged his fathers name
in South Carolina and served a term in
