Dor Tribune, of Pittsburg He is not delegate,
nor present, but selected account of the
knowledge he possesses on the subject
The general executive board held @ meeting
to-day to hear the cases that have been present
ed to 1t. but took no action on any OF them. 1t
has more than II, 900 cases awaiting its decision,
and these do not include all that are to be
brought before it. The board will meet again
during the first recess taken by the General AS
semblv.
Reports have been published to the effect that
the convention can take action upon various
constitutional amendments which have been
proposed, for the reason that the constitution of
the order requires that such amendments shall
be submitted to local assemblies at least sixty
days before their presentation to the General
Assembly, and this has not been DONE Mr.
Powderly and members of the executive board
say that such reports are untrue; that the con-
stitution requires that local assemblies desiring
to offer amendments shall present them to the
general secretary treasurer sixty days before the
converting of the General Assembly The
amendments now in the hands of the committee
on laws were presented to the last convention,
at Hamilton, Ont, so that, instead of sixty
days notice, years notice has been given.
This question was brought up ia the convention
to-day, and the chairman ruled, and was sus
tanned In his ruling by the General Assembly,
that the constitution Of the order can be revised
at this session.
Mr.. Powderly to-day received the following
telegram from Thomas Barry. member of the
executive committee, sent to Chicago to en-
deavor TO settle the strike of the employees of
the pok packers in that city:
''Phe packers say they have no organization,
30 / must treat with them as individual com
panies. We called on several firms yesterday,
and all expressed desire for settlement, but in
sist on working ten hours, while the men are
firm for eight We look for settlement this
week.
MIR. Powderly has received almost hourly to-
nay kilograms commencing the position he has
taken in his letter on the race question.

Regulating the Liquor Traffic,
INDIANAPOLIS News,


If we made the hope OF securing a more rigid
regulation and higher license of the liquor traf-
fc the deciding Issue in voting in this State
campaign we would vote for the Republican
Legislative ticket. There is more To be expected
from Republican Legislature in this wav with
out promise than from Democratic Legislature
with the most solemn ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS al
ways that the popular concentration on the
question is not to that point of intensity which
brings t to ''men's business and bosoms." When
that is the case every party will be swift to obey
as In Maine to-day where neither party would
dare ahroeate prohibition. Such a condition, as
We have said. we think is not yet in this State.
1t is approaching it rapidly. A little more po-
lltical hypocrisy: little more political deception;
a continuance of the violation of law by the sa-
looms with the connivance of the police; further
manifestation of the arrogant domination of the
Liquor League. and the dutocratie control of the
saloon in politics, and the popular concentration
on this question in indiana will come and lift
the State alongside her sisters in the way of
high license and local option. Till then our TO
ton of procedure for one who makes this his
chief concern is: vote the Republican legislative
tickets agirRte through the press, and on the
stump, and in the parlor. and at the corner gro
Gerry. concerning the evils Of the existing coudi
ton of the liquor traffic.

An Expensive Luxury.

Richmond Special.
Unless the convention takes the bull by the
horns by throwing parliamentary rules to the
winds, as it has already done, and forgets for
the time being that all men are equal, the tenth
annual assembly will have proved an expensive
luxury for the men who pay the bills. These are
the men who stay at nome and work They may
think their representatives ara taking matters at
their ease. for practically nothing has been done

They have been here week, and the trip to and

costs the workingmen who send representatives

the assembly $500 to send me; it isn't made up

A MUTE's HORRIBLE DEATH.
Placed in a Bath-Tub by a Cruel Keeper and
Literally Boiled in Hot Water.

Placed in "A Bath-Tub by a Cruel Keeper and
Literally Boiled in Hot Water.
Columbus Special.
Frank Hamilton, aged seven, of Waynesburg
Stark county, an inmate Of the Ohio Institute
for Deaf and Dumb. died a horrible death this
morning, after three days suffering of a most
intense nature. He was one of about 400 in
mates of the institution. and Thursday morning
Henry Doebler. the attendant, found that the
boy was IN an uncleanly condition and took him
to the BATH Turning on the water, he left
the partly-imbeeile youth in the tub, and as
soon as the cold water In the faucet had run
out the sealding water came pouring in and
surrounded the boy to the waist He was
unable to speak or help himself. aud when the
attendant returned the lad was in a faint and ex-
hausted condition. On being lifted from the
bath tub nearly the whole of the skin fell from
the lower part Of the body. The boy remained
in agony until this morning, when he died.
Doebler came to the institution some weeks
ago from Mansfield, O., having applied TO the Y.
NJ. q. A. in this city for work. and they secured
the position for him. He appears to have been
a tramp, and there is the greatest Indignation
both about the institution and outside over the
fact that the boy met with the treatment which
cost his life There is a report among the other
employees of the institution that Doe bier was out
OF patience with the boy for the reason that he
required so much care, and tLat he placed him
in the hot water with the expectation of punish
ing him, though he did not expect to scaid him
to death.

THE EARTHQUAKE REGION.
A Section of South Carolina Where Shocks
and Rumblings Are Almost Continuous.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Oct IA local scen-
tist, known to be an accurate observer, was re-
Gently selected to investigate the story that
earthquake shocks had been felt at Ninety six,
S. c., about thirty miles from the Georgia line,
thirteen months past, and were increasing in
frequency and vigor. His report confirms it.
One influential farmer, j. Med. Kinard living
at the seat of the trouble, says he first heard
the underground noise in January, 1885. It was
then brief and dull, like the report of a cannon
fired several miles from the observer. All 9TH
ers who were interviewed gave the same account
Of the noises but did not notice them until Sep
TENDER of last year. Mr. Knard heard the
noises frequently the first day, but did not hear
them again for several weeks. The longest
period Of rest between the sounds, all agree, was
just before the Charleston earthquake. The
sound of that movement was not Similar it was
like the roaring of train of cars and lasted
longer than the others. The others were dull
booms, without repetitions They all caused
houses to shake and sashes to rattle. A party
of railroad graders. camped near Mr.. Kinard,
several months ago, were badly frightened by
the noises. For the two weeks before last week
the noises we're heard night and day, and few
persons had a single night of sound rest.
Ten reports were heard on Sunday night Of last
week. two of them heavy that DR.. T. s.
Blake, whose scientific attachments make him a
credible witness. says he twice arose, thinking a
thunderstorm passing. but the sky was
clear. The reports have been heard at intervals
ever since. John Williamson says one shock on
that Sunday night made his house, new one,
tremble for half minute. He had a peculiar
perience the Monday evening following. He
was picking cotton, and was on his knees when
a shock came which Jared him all over and
made him feel "pretty bad" These shocks come
from the southeast and seem to Do almost YER
tical impulses The district affected Is about
ten miles square, covering what is known as the
Cambridge lands. The soil is tenacious red clay.
of great fertility. The country is traversed by
two creeks, which unite in Cambridge creek.
The surface is generally undulating, except in
the central portion, where the force of the
shocks is the greatest Here runs high ridge,
each side of which is a deep and dusky hol-
low. DR.. Hamilton arrived from the shaken re-
gion day. He says the rumbling was more
continuous last night than he ever knew it to be
before, and the shocks were only sur passed by
those which were felt when Charleston was SO
badly shaken. It was in that neighborhood, IL
a deep valley, that 'Old Jockey Walker" used to
hear the bombarding at Charleston during the
war and count the reports. DIR. Blake insists
that the noises are volcanic.

FLAIEFIELD, N. j., Oct 12.-The 3:45 P. NJ.
Philadelphia express train was wrecked at the
Grand avenue station, in this city, at 500 this
afternoon, while running at the rate of fifty
miles an hour. The entire train. consisting of
smoker. two parlor cars and two coaches, ran
over one hundred yards after leaving the track,
but no one was injured, except the fireman, who
was pitched violently forward and bruised about
the chest The train was under the direction of
John Merritt. conductor, and William Rhodes,
engineer. The accident was caused by a mis-
placed switch. The cars, except the smoker,
are but little damaged.

NEW YORK, Oct. IL I'm his speech to-day,
before the meeting of merchants interested in
tariff reform. Hon. A. S. Hewitt said that the
Democratic party was wholly responsible for the
expressions and injustice of the tariff. The re-

reduction of duties materials He de-
clared that Msssrs. Randall and Morrison should
have been taken by the ears and their heads
knocked together for their course in regard to

A Result of the Earthquake.

Professor Collett states that he has observed
that previous to the earthquake the wells bored
in northern Indiana for natural gas gave little
indication OF yielding anything Since the
shake many of these wells giving out i'm
mense volumes of gas and considerable QUAINT
ties of oil. There is, he thinks, possibility of
developing natural-gas reservoirs in the north
eastern part of the State. but a very small
possibility of finding below the central region.

to build the most sumptuous, goodly,
and glorious edi6ce in the known world,
the speaker went directly to his work
During the first minutes feared we were
to be treated to masterly but frigid dis
course upon the divine Providence toward
the wicked. But very soon the preacher
warmed to his sub bject, and with much
but not excessive animation, abundant
but not violent gesture, in rigorous and
logical concatenation of thought and pro-
position, dressed in the aptest and most
vigorous language, he vindicated the
providence OF God in the prosperity of
sinners. He has a copious vocabulary,
but there was no surplusage, no repeti-
ton, and no hesitation The style was
clear, the diction happy and appropriate,
the matter strong the discussion elevated,
closely knit, with a pervasive unity and
progress, and interspersed and enlivened
with occas, onal happy analogies and met
aphors. There were no elaborate pas
sages of eloquence, but throughout dig
nifed and elevated strain of argument,
ablaze now and then from an outburst of
the repressed fires within. Altogether
it was an instructive and edlfyng ser
mon, and admirably adapted to the cul-
tured part of the congregation. 1t would
have been better as sermon, which
ought to be for all classes, if the preacher
had denied his own scholarly taste lit
tie, and for the sake of those who are not
accustomed to such close thinking re.
peated in another form some OF his pro-
positions or ampli6ed some of his terse
and compact sentences. Preachers are
very apt to forget that propositions which
cost them hours of intensest thought to
grasp and forge cannot be comprehended
by the untutured mind the instant they
are stated in the pulpit, and this espe-
cially when the train OF thought present
ed is altogether new and complicated
and developed through a succession OF
dependent sentences, all of which have to
be retained and understood by the hearer
in order to an intelligent reception of the
truth. The closing thought of the SER
mon was that the prosperity of the wick
ed is transient and short, and the reward
of the righteous eternal. Time and eter-
nifty are the terms of the argument

Can You Help a Texas Church

MeSsrS. Editors, Our church at Crock
EFT, Texas, has lately been engaged in
building new house of worship. which
was much needed. The new edlfce will
be well located, is substantial, neat, and
comfortable, and will help us in our
church work very much we hope. 1t is
nearing completion, and will cost about
$4,000. This for small town, support
ing several other churches, is quite a
large undertaking, in time when crops
are short. After our best efforts at home
we still need about $500 to enable us to
finish the work May l not ask some of
your readers to aid the home mission
work in Texas by lending us helping
handsome with $5, some with $40, 9th
ers with at least 81? Such help will be
gratefully received and acknowledged by
the undersigned. S. F. TENNEY,
