up the Knights OF Labor.
sr. LOUIS, March 2l.-Martln Irons,
chairman Of the Executive Committee Of
the District Assembly ot Knights Of Labor,
the man who ordered the present
strike, arrived here last night from
Kansas City, and in an interview
gave the following as the real cause OF the
strike; 1.-THE Knights OF Labor recognize
in the conduct oithe Texas & Pacific and
Missouri Pacific part Of q plan to crush
the knights Of Labor and down the eight
hour labor plan, In which all the railroads
Of the country are now pooled.
The discharge Of Hall at Marahall, Tex,
was only part Of the plan with that OBJ.
iect, land the results 80 far were ioreseen by
the railroads. Now II depends upon them
whether they have seen as far as they will
see." =
"What Is your opinion OF the result ol
the conference, knowing that Mr.. Hoxie
Is supported by this pool Of corporationsP''
my opinion. don't care TO give II, but
as you want advice you can say that
as the strike 10 now District Assem-.
bly, 101 can put an end to II, but
II It goes further II can't, as other inter.
ests are now involved. I'll say too
that II the grievances Of the KnightG
Of Labor are not adjusted within
the next three days we will call out the
Knights on every railroad In the country
and stop every wheel from moving"

CHICAGO, March 2O-Mrs. Candy, the
wife Of the express manager, on the Rock
Island road, whose train run just half an
hour ahead OF the one on which Kellogg
Nichols was murdered and robbed one
week ago this morning, told reporter a
remarkable story OF her little boys
singular dream on the night OF
the robbery. Warren Candy lB
twelve years old Is very delicate,
fond OF his father, and gets very uneasy
and nervous II his fathers train Is late.
About Z o'clock on the morning ot the
murder and robbery she was startled by
piercing screams from the little boys
room, on the second floor. The cries be-
ing repeated, moment or 80 later, she
started up stairs, and found tho boy still
asleep, with an expression oil Intense pain
upon his features. She reused him, and
then with great tears streaming down his
cheeks he said: "papa Is hurt"
Mrs. Candy questioned him and he told
the dream. He had seen q man wearing
plaid suit and with his face partially GOV.
cred shoot his father. The lady did not
attach very much significance TO the lnCi-
dent at that time, but about an hour lator
q messenger boy arrived with this tele-
gram from her husband "Do not worry.
Pm all right.-ChRrles."
Then abe grew anxious; he must have
been In an accident. She does not believe
in dreams, but this dream and the tele-
gram combined caused her q great deal OF
tlneasiness. The boy seemed haunted by
lis vivid dream, and not until his lather's
train, later in the day, stopped OF the In.
glewood station, and he saw aud Chamber

il good reason to believe that II Mr.. Will

When Governor Wilson says the PreSi-
dent has hurt the Democratic party In
West Virginia, he says what everybody
believes to be true, for the President is
disabling the party the country over, and
West Virginia stands in no exceptional

THE SOLDIERS ORPHANS HOME.
Annual Reports of the officers of the lnstitu
tiOn Regarding Its Affairs.

The eighth annual report of the directors and
officers of the Indiana Soldiers Orphans Home
and Asylum for Feeble-minde Children was
submitted to the Governor yesterday. Much
OF the report Of the directors is devoted to mar
rating the particulars of the fire which de-
stroyed the home IN last July. A large portion
of the floating debt which they found hanging
over tie institution when they took charge of
it has been paid. When the home was de-
stroyed the Valley House in Knightstown was
rented Many Of the children had to be sent
to their friends temporarily, and those who re-
NAMED have been carefully cared for There
was On the destroyed Building $4,000 insur-
ance, all of which has been paid. After the
fire the estimate put upon the States property
was. as follows: Fifty-seven acres of land,
$4500 old walls and foundation, $1,000; boiler
house, $45 other buildings, $1,000; total value.
$8,47911. The contract specifies that the
south wing of the new building shall be COM
pleted not later than Dec 10, 1886. When the
work is DONE there will be balance due the
contractor of $37, 49, He will not complete
the building until his money is assured. The
Governor is asked to mention these facts in his
annual message, and urge the Legislature to
make the necessary appropriation
The report of the superintendent, A. III. Nor
ris. contains some interesting information. Dur
ing the past eight years 1900 children have
found home in the institution Oct 81. 1885,
there were 135 children in the institution, and
since, sixty eight have been admitted. Homes
have been provided for forty three, and thirty
five have been taken by relatives and friends,
leaving in the institution at present 100.
IL is recommended that the next Legislature
should establish some branch of industry at the
institution. for the purpose of teaching the boys
trade Under the present system they receive
no ideas about any branch Of industry. and are
turned out helpless young men, so far as having
any vocation is concerned. The schools are
kept running nine months in the year, and the
instruction is first class The superintendent
refutes the statement often published that no
good results from the instruction given the
feeble minded, and cites numerous instances
where the minds have been so strengthened by
instruction that the pupil made reasonably
good business man. On information gathered
by Ben D. House. it is stated that there are
in the state s., 462 children of soldiers, under
sixteen years of age, any of whom, on the
death of their parents, are entitled to the bene-
fits of the home.
