POWDERLY'S MAND4TE
Creating Trouble in the Order--seven Chill

Creating Trouble in the Order--Seven Chill
cago Assemblies Ignore the Circular.
CHICAGO, December 3.-The Daily NclCs
says that the action of the General Assem-
bly, of the Knights of labor, in leyying an
assessment of - cents upon all the MEM
bers of the order, is being commented
upon by the leading local Knights. The
circula issued by Powderly ordering the
collection of the assessment is being read
in the local assemblies. Several have de-
cided to pay the amount under protest,
and others have concluded to ignore the
mandate for the paesent. Every assembly
pays regular tax, which is accumulated
in what way is known as the defense fund.
In many cases, especially in the mixed as
semblies, large sums have accrued. These
assemblies obiec to being assessed when
money collected for defense proposes Is
lying idle in the banks.
The local assemblies and especially the
the stock yards contingent, object most
emphatically to the mandate, claiming
that Chicago and the entire west have been
wronged by the General Board, not only in
the stock yards strike, but in the recent
railroad strike on the Southwestern system.
They claim that the Western Knights are
being asked to support Eastern strikes, and
are not only refused assistance when in
trouble, but forced to an unconditional
surrender in n case where the general order
was not asked or expected to render fnan-
cial aid.

THE MOEN--WILSON MYSTERY.

Story.

Wilson's Sister Completely Contrsdicts His
Story.
WORCESTER, MASS, December 3.-Mrs.
George N. Rice, Of Bridge, called with
her husband at the Gazette Office to-day.
Mrs. Rice is the eldest daughter Of Jonas
Wilson and sister of Levi Wilson, and is
some - years older than he is. Mrs. Rice
has been pestered by reporters but has re-
fused to talk, not caring to be mixed up
in any way with the Moen matter and
fearing Misrepresentation.
All the sensational reports Of her state
ments are without foundation. She now
comes Of her own accord after reflection to
tell what she knows about DOC"
Wilson's parentage Her story is direct
and TO the point and completely contra
diets the story Of Wilson, that he Is the
Son Of Philip L. Moen. She watched him
in North Oxford when Levi was born and
watched him grow up as an infant and
through childhood He was the son Of her
own parents without any question. He
was named after uncle Levi Fessondon.
Her father died at Qusddy Conn, and she
was with him all through his lines Levi
was also living at home. There never was
any death-bed confession by her father as
stated by Levi. She knew of Levi sudden
IL becoming rich but he never explained it
to her. She had received gifts from him,
but only in q brotherly way. She never
received anything for keeping any secret.
She thought Levi must be out of his mind

Arralgned Before Recorder Smyth Yester-
day and Admitted to Bail.
NEW YORK, December 3.-The arrest Of
the alleged Jury fixers yesterday, caused
the court room, where the proceedings in
the trial of ex-Alderman McQuade are GO
ing on to be crowded with a large audi
enee this morning 1t was understood that
Falkersburg, who attempted to approach
salesman Gray would be arraigned before
Recorder Smyth to-day on the charge of
Embracery, which is the legal term
for tampering with juryman- Shortly
after the recorder took his seat an officer
arraigned before him an under sized man
wearing a black mustaehe and hair. He
told the Court that his name was Herman
Oral Kenberg, and Lawyer Hummel stood
ND and said that he represented the pris-
oner. Mr.. Hummel said the client was n
tailor by trade and 81 years old. He read
a written reply to the charge from his
client 1t declared the accused to be inno-
cent of any intention to commit any
offense and stated that he merely
mentioned the ease Of MeQuade to
Mr.. Gray. and Hummel went on, II
was about to add that Mr.. Gray intro
duced the subject himself" Falkenberg
waived examination and was held in
81 900 for trial. He was allowed to re-
main in the court room until bail could be
procured, and hewas hailed late in the
day. McQuade's trial was then resumed.
Three mysterious prisoners were kept in a
corner carefully guarded. Montz Leis-
siger, q dealer in tailors' trimmings at No
IA Grand street, was Falkenberg's bonds
man. He qualified to the amount of
81. 600 In real estate.

SENATOR sHERMAN's VIEWS.

How he Would Deal with the National
Banks, the Tariff and Taxation.
WASHINGTON, December 3.-Senator
Sherman has given very full statement
of his views on the national banking, tariff
and internal revenue questions to the cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Concerning the tariff, Senator Sherman
said he would put sugar on the free list
and so reduce the revenue $50, ,000, 900 per
annum. To compensate the Louisiana
planters for this he would offer bounty of
two cents per pound for
all the sugars produced. I'm addition
to this" continued the Senator, 81
wonld decrease further our revenues by
granting increased protection. You may
have noticed some time ago a complaint
from some manufacturing point in Eng
land that American competition was fore
ing English products in the specific line
mentioned out Of the market. This is
natural Now, / would protect every
line of industry which could successfully
compete with foreign markets. The effect
would be that we could make at home that
now sent us from abroad. This would
decrease the custom revenue, for no goods
would be sent here from abroad which we
could make ourselves"
Would you eliminate any Of the inter-
nal revenue taxes?" ] asked.
"Yes, ! would. For instance, / would
reduce the tax on manufactured tobacco
one-half. do not believe there should
be any reduction Of the tax on whisky.
The people don't feel this tax, and the
trade has adapted itself TO il and is not
asking for il. Tobacco is not taxed in the
leaf, but on the manufactured article. j
would cut down the tax one-half, and
thereby decrease the revenue an additional
SIC. 900, 900 or S12, 2,00O,0 600. Thus, with
free sugar and reduced tobacco tax, we
have $50, ,OOO, 900 of the revenue de-
creased
"Your platform Of relief, Senator, then,
in a formulated way, is"
SIS, :" said the Senator, first, the abo-
Iition Of the sugar tax; second, the pass
age CT stringent bankrupt law; third, an
interstate commerce bill mot the Reagan
billl; fourth, National hank circulation
ND 70 the face or market vslue Of the
bonds deposited; FIFTH, the reduction Of
the tobacco tax One-half; sixth, the re-
duction Of the tax on bank circulation
one-half; seventh, the issue Of silver Ger
ti6cates on the value Of bullion and the
repeal OF the present compulsory law.
III" headed, Congress was to carry
out these suggestions, which / know If
viii not, there would be rapid diminu-
ton Of the public revenues"

by the turner's Of the city, as announced

considered at q meeting at Yorwaert's Tur-

men and half laborers The SOcialistic
element proved the strongest, and under
the lead Of District Master John Gloy,
who. while member of VOr-
waert's Union is in charge OF the district,
comprising seventeen lodges, finally sue
eeeded in carrying a motion to protest
against the judgment by 40 to only mega

RESTORED THROUGH FAITH.
4 Girls Speech Recovered Through Using
Plaster From Knock Church.

1 Girls Speech Recovered Through Using
Plaster From Knock Church.
WUEEsBARRE, PA, December 3.-Miss
Katie Martin, aged eighteen, daughter of
respectable parents living in Ashley, lost
her speech eight years ago at the age of
ten, from the effects OF measles and
scarlet fever. She was unable to make
any sound beyond slight inarticulate
noises. The best physicians of this vicinity
treated her without effect. Miss
Martin frequently expressed the be-
lief that her voice would be sudden
ly and miraculously restored and
prayed frequently and feFveDtly for this.
A short time ago her parents heard of re-
markable cures effected by visits to the
world-famous Knock Church in the west
of Ireland. They learned that plaster
from the walls of the church, soaked in
water, would give the water the same
miraculous healing powers. Some of the
plaster was obtained, and Sunday Katie
drank freely Of the water in which it had
been soaked. She spent the whole even
ing in prayer. Early in the morning her
parents were aroused by the sound of fer
vent and heartfelt prayer and thankSgiy-
ing from their daughters room. They
rushed in and found her on her knees, re-
turning thanks for the miraculous restOra-
tion of her voice.

DISTRESSING SCENES
At Midnight Confagration in Cleveland
Twenty-Six Families Burned Out.

At Midnight Conhagration in Cleveland
Twenty-Six Families Burned Out.
CLEVELAND, O., December 3.-At Ills
o'clock last night fire was discovered in q
barn in the rear of 10 Bergen street. An
alarm was at once turned in, but owing to
the large amount of snow on the ground
and the. severe storm that was prevailing,
the steamers were a long time reaching
the fire. When they arrived, No. 10 and
three adjoining tenement houses were
wrapped in flames. The four houses
were occupied by twenty-six families, con-
sisting of over 100 people, who soon ap-
peared in the street in scant clothing,
exposed to the fury of the storm and driv-
ing snow. From the houses across the
street and on either side of the fire the
people ran in haste. Some carried bun
dies of clothing while Others carried blank
cts and bedding. A man and woman were
seen to leave one of the burning buildings
dragging big feather bed after them.
They left the bed in the middle OF the
street and attempted to re-enter the house,
but were stopped. On the bed was found
a babe sound asleep, which was restored
to its parents. Another babe was found
in a bundle of blankets that was being
kicked about.
The scene was one of indescribable con-
fusion until the people were reassured by
the firemen and persuaded to enter their
houses. At midnight the fire was brought
l.. h., IN
the four tenement houses and the
stable in the rear, where four cows and a
horse were consumed. The suffering
among the people who lost their homes Is
very great. A few were taken in by
neighbOrs, but many sat on bundles along
the sidewalk and bemoaned their hard
fate. They are mostly Bohemians, Poles
and Russians, with few Hungarians.
The aggregate loss is probably SIS, 900; in
surance light.
