A STRANGE MURDER.
A M engled Corpse Found fn the
Center of Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, November GA horrible
murder was discovered about noon to-day
in the foundation for the Willard Hotel, on
the block opposite the postoffice. A man,
evidently laborer, about 80 years old, was
found in the rubbish literally cut to pieces
His throat was cut. he was stabbed several
times in the abdomen and repeatedly in the
back. His hands were cut in several places.
evidently in struggle to seize the knife of
his assailant. The man Is total stranger,
and is thought to have arrived here last
night, as he had Tacoma paper OF Fridays
date in his pocket. twenty-five dollars were
found in his pocket, and this seems to be an
indication that he was not robbed. The
murder is very mysterious, though the po-
lice ar. inclined to think 1t was for the pur-
pose OF robbery. but that the murderers
were afraid after the murder to touch the
mans money. The deed was done almost
in the heart Of the city.

ANOTHER EXPRESS ROBBERY.
A Trusted Clerk of Wells, Fargo
Il Co, Gone Wrong.

SAN Francisco, November 6.-Facts OF
large defalcation in the office of Wells.
Fargo & Co., in this city have been made
public to-day. Charles W. Banks, one OF
their cashiers who has been with them for
seventeen years, failed to report for duty
on the first and second instant but no ap-
prehensiops were felt as it was believed he
might be busy on election matters, and, in
addition, his long service with the company
prevented any suspicion Of wrong. On
Wednesday, however. his books were put
through the usual monthly examination.
and with the result that the sum OF $20.000
was found to be unaccounted for. The
shortage all occurred during the month of
October. Banks is still missing and is be-
lieved to have sailed from here on Wednes-
day for Portland, whence he will make his
way to Canada. He is a native of England
and forty-six, and has for years been
member of the Union Club. He is married
and his wife is now in New York. The
affair is in the hands of the police.

letter to the President has been published :
NEW YORK, November 6, 1886.
To Grover Cleveland, President OF the
United .Stdtes-SIR: The newspapers state
that you have designated me as a Commits
sioner to examine and report upon 100 miles
OF railroad constructed by the Oregon and
California Railroad Company in south
western oregon. No snch appointment has
reached me. but as the public announce
ment of it was made at the White House by
your private secretary to newspaper re-
porters, l assume it to have been made or
have been enabled to make learn that the
Comnissionership is provided for in one
of those laws by which Congress has in
late years given away to railroad capitalists

can people. subject to favorable reports

sioners named by him to examine the COM
pleted roads. My training and avocations
have not especially fitted me for such ex.
aminations, and 1t is doubtful whether my
employment in them would be beneficial or
satisfactory to the public. But
HAVE FURTHER REASON
for declining the office. An examination of
this kind am told, is treated as. a Court
entertainment given to the Commissioner
by the officials of the road subjected ! to
examination. Free rides in palace cars. free
quarters at hotels and hospitality, which Is
at the same time generous ard selrsh. are
commonly extended. A favorable report
however just, lies under the imputation OF
having been purchased. On the other
hand Commissioner who would refuse. ali
favors cannot more than earn the ex-
penses of ordinary travel. 1 am a poor
man, depending upon my work for an in-
come, and cannot afford to take this ap-
pointment. In accepting my declination
please. also accept my respectful ack-
nowledgements.

An order Throwing $4,000 Men
Ont of work.

CHICAGO. November 6.-The Executive
Committee of the Knights OF Labor have
lust issued an order, at 2:30 this afternoon,
directing all men employed in the packing
establishments at the Union Stock Yards,
both in the beef and pork packing depart
ments, to stop work at 8 O'Clock this after
noon. This makes the strike general and
throws fully 1000 men out of work. 1t is
not known yet whether the men Will re-
spond promptly to this new order: The men
employed in three of the packing houses
QUIT work shortly after 8 O'Clock. The men
at Armour's remained on at work and it
was thought would not stop work this after
noon.
CHICAGO, November 6.-There seems to be
indications that the strikers of packing
town are weakening. A careful review of
the situation tonight reveals that the con-
test referred to In these dispatches between
Nelson Morris and the executive board of
Cattle butchers Assembly, though not
signed by the parties of the second part, was
tacitly accepted by them and went into
effect Monday morning. This is admitted
by members OF that board, while another
tonight denied any knowledge of the con-
tract and said no order to strike had been
issued by the general executive board, and
claimed that no more than a thousand men
were out. This is learned from the Chicago
Times, that
FULLY TEN THOUSAND MEN
are out, among them being employees of
every packing house at the stocks. Very
few of Armour's men are out however, the
strikers being mostly employees of Fowler
Bros, Silberhorn and the Chicago Packing
Company. There is difference of opinion
among the employees as to the authority of
the District MasterW Workman to order
strlke, some claiming that such action lies
only in the province OF the Executive
Board. 1t is said that the steadier and
cooler headed of the employees are very
much opposed to general strike. While
the movement is chiefly agtated by the
restless cha aracters and so-called hoodlum
elements, there is nothing whatever In the
nsture OF disturbance at the yards to-
night Half an hour after closing time
scarcely an employe was to be seen about
the yards.
A CIRCULAR ISSUED.
BOSTON, November 6.-There hiss been
considerable excitement among the knights
of Labor in this city recently over the dis.
covery that quite a number of members OF
the order had gone to Chicago to work in
the packing houses in which labor troubles
are at present existing. The executive
board OF District Assembly No. 8 of the
knights of Labor to-day issued a circular to
all knights i'll the district calling attention
to the packing house troubles and forbid
ding them under penalty to go to Chicago to
work in those houses until the troubles are
