MAY LEAD TO A SPLIT.
Trouble Between the Cigarmakers Union

Trouble Between the Cigarmakers' Unior
and the Knights Of Labor.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March l8.-The trou
bic which broke out between the Cigar
makers International Union and the
Knights of Labor over the Introduction Of
new label in opposition to the lnterna-
tional label, bids fair to result in serious
rupture, which may cause formidable
split in the labor ranks. The struggle
here commenced recently with the knights
of Labor organization Of an Assembly OF
cigar makers, to whom was promised the
Knights of Labor label. A protest against
this action of the organizer was forwsrdsd
to Grand Master Workmen Powderly, but
is said to hare been unheeded, and $4,000
Of the Knights white lables have been re-
ceived here. The international Cigar.
makers claim that while as body their
unions have not merged into the knights
of Labor. that fully ten thousand OF their
men are Knights on their own individual
but may be called out OF the
OTQcr Oy rSbOlutiOuo VI luSiR uHANhoi - tA'S
at tempt 10 override the label is not aban-
ioned
1t is also said that the other trades
unions would support them in this course,
being Jealous Of their individual rights, and
that it is impossible for large
body like the Knights to decide upon ques,
ions affecting each trade, and that such
hiugs should be left to the unions them
selves to perfect and that the province OF
he Knights is to regulate matters affect
ng the welfare OF labor in general and not
n particular. The union men cay that if
he Knights insist on interfering BY intro
lucirg another label it will seriously COM
,licate matters ID the damage OF labor gen.

THE SHAMROCK AT PARKERsBURe
st. Patriok's Day, Speeches and Conviv-
iality Detailed.


PARKERsBURG, W. Va, March lS.-St.
Patrick's day, with its merry sunshine.
awakened the proverbial conviviality Of
the Ancient Order of Hibernisns," which
found expression in the hilarious proceed
irgs at their banquet nall last night. The
knights Of ST. George" the Catholic
Knights of America, and few of the
general public we're specially invited. The
crowded rooms, the gay decorations, beau.
tiful reminders of the Emerald Isle, the
ringing speeches aud the hearty applause
gave evidence Of the intensity OF the feel
ing that even thus far away swells in the
bosom OF an Irishman at the mention Of his
native land. Sprigs Of green on coats and
dresses, and festoons of green on the walls
and pictures, served to recall the shamrock
aud the bonnie green banks Of Lough Erne.
The stage was decorated with the banners
and flags of the different orders present
aud around the walls hung pictures Of st
Patrick, St. James and scenes from Irish
history. Mr. John Kenney was the mas.
ter Of ceremonies, and host of the mem
bers of the order tastefully decorated =,
sllayed the hunger OF the crowd with the
most luscious Of estables, aud sssuaged
their thirst with cooling drsughts Of mild
but exhilerating beverage. Hon. John A.
Hutchinson made the first speech, and the
loud and prolonged applause that followed
his ten minutes effort, proved he had
struck a popular chord. Then followed an
extensive programme OF vocal and instru-
mental music, oil snsckiDg Of the Sham
rock and the Shannon" and when Thos.
Murphy, the 0'Connel Of Psrkersburg,
we're introduced the enthusiasm Of the au-
dienae reached its highest pitch. This son
of the could Sol first became known to
fame as the only original author Of the
Murphy movement" and his good humor,
rare wit and enthusiasm in the Irish cause
has raised him high in the estimation OF
the Ancient Order of Elibernisns. He
rounds off Irish history with facility only
equ.lled by the dexterity with which
Charlie Caldwell can beat Jack
Dot, and was greeted with vocif.

bis speech and perfect storm OF cheers at
its conclusion. The festivities were kept

MoRGANrowN, W. Va, March lS.-The
following extract from the Post of this
wek will be Of interest:
"Tnplets-Born, Sunday, March l4th
1886, to President E. NJ. Turner, of the
University and wife, triplets-two sons and
daughter. Average weight FIVE pounds.
Mother and children doing we'll. The
event caused no little futter OF excitement
IN the community, as it was unprecedented
IN the historyo of Morgsntown. Mrs. Turn
er, however, comes Of prolific family. Her
great-grsndfathe, Wilson, who was married
twice, was the father of 81 children-l6by
each wife, and four pairs of twins among
the number. The President has been
warmly congratulated by his many friends,
ard the Post wishes the trio long life of
usefulness"
President Turner was greeted Monday
morning BY such rounds OF applause as the
old chapel hall has seldom known, The
wideness ofhis smile showed he took it all
in good part. Such an opportunity for
applause doesn't happen more than once
in b century, and it seems the Prep was
a%treof this, for he cheered for all be was
worth and continued to cheer as long as
his vocal organs would work at all
The Post says:
THE following is the result of an inter.
view with the members of the Executive
Committee OF the W. Va. University in
the case Of President Turner:
Morelsnd-The Committee should at |
once pass congratulstory resolutions and
recommend an increase of salary.
Shisler-He deserves we'll O! the Re.
public. His declination Of a nomination
or Congress was premature, and must
low be withdrawn.
Moorhesd-Let a special report be
made and sent up to The Board of Re
rents. Civil service reform ia not the
proper remedy and ought not TO be en-.
dread.
Wiley, Secretsry-A step in the right
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is now an assured
act. / knew when he was made President
here would be no lack of students, and
Of dollars would be annually

diplomacy resort to arms cannot now be
voided.
