 The conspirators had contrived to send cook on an elrand which wonld detain her an hour or two, soon after Charlie and left. The housemaid-who,i it will be remembered, came to me through Eliza-was in the plot and they thought themselves safe. The parlor-maid in whom trusted so implicitly was a mem Der, sub rosa, of the swell mob, of which distinguished profession "Mr. Altar dyce," who had received a good educa- ton, was one of the brightest ornaments. He had written the letter from Folke- stone by means of which she had entered my service. Eliza derived her knowledge of Oakwood and of MT. Allardyce's af. fairs through having once stayed there for few weeks with family in whose service she was. For four or five years she had played a similar game to that she had tried on me :; getting mis- tresses to confde in her, and then, when she had found out where their plate and valuables were kept betrayipg the house to her acccmplices. These burglaries re mained profound mysteries, thanks to her consummate hypocrisy, her compile ity in them never having been suspected. Her entering my service was not the result of the chance, but the consequence of one of the gang one day bearing a re- mark that pr. Lester, of Noting Hill, had some valuable plate.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.
Holweg & Reese to Build New Business Block
on South Meridian Street.

Among the extensive improvements to be
made in Indianapolis during this season will be
a large brick building in the row of wholesale
establishments on South Meridian street, to be
erected by the firm of Holweg & Reese It will
be 60x120 feet in dimensions and will be erected
on the ground extending sixty feet north of the
building now occupied by the firm. Messrs.
Holweg & Reese have submitted the ideas which
they desire embodied in the plans and specifca
tions to an architect. and they expect
to have the matter in definite
shape, ready for the letting Of the
contract, within five six days. Work will be
begun upon the building without any delay, and
will be hurried forward as rapidly as possible
as the firm is in urgent need of moro room.
THEFT. warerooms, extending the full length OF
the building, now number thirteen. but are not
ing business The new building win be four
stories high. which will give them fifteen rooms
Of larger capacity than they now have besides
four floors in the old building which they
hold a lease for five years, and which they will
retain, making nineteen large warerooms they
will have at their command. This
enlarged capacity will enable the firm to further
extend their business. They now have twelve
travelling men on the road, and the number will
probably be increased, the firm claim that
they have no trouble in extending trade in com
petition with Chicago and St Louis. and this
they believe other Indianapolis merchants can
do equally as successfully.

THE KNIGHTS COMMENTED.
Prominent Knight Of Labor Asserts that
There Is No Danger Of Local Disturbances.

There has been an interchange Of rumors that
The Knights of Labor in this city contemplated
such action as would disturb the present quiet
ness existing between local employers and en-
ployes. No definite assertion was made as to
when the strike or strikes would occur. but a
prominent member Of the order said yesterday
that he had heard nothing of the kind. This
was City Clerk Shields. sT am very well posted
as to railroad men; more as to their interests
and doings than those Of any other class In
that quarter no fear Of disturbance
need be entertained. The men are
satisfied with the way affairs are being con-
Quoted and do not propose TO unsettle it. This
is particularly true among the Panhandle EN-.
ployes. Individuals. it is true have their petty
grievances, but none of them are sufficiently I'm
portant to cause the Knights of Labor to take q
hand in their settlement" 81
Then you anticipate no trouble Of any kindp
NO. The order will be officially interested
IN the eight-hour movement on the 1st of May
Before that date look for nothing here that
would call the order into a marked discussion
with employers There may be local strikes,
but with us, as Knights of Labor there is no alb
soute knowledge of any. If there is a strike in
any shop factory it will be an individual
affair. Before the Knights can formally
commi. themselves to dispute between employ
crs and employees, the grievances of the latter
must be submitted to the executive committee of
the district can assure you that the commit
tee has no form of grievance before it at this
time. If the executive committee says the order
must support strike, them and not until then,
is is done. II it says strike shall not be sup
ported then the affair becomes simply one of an
individual character, and the men must fight it
themselves without the assistance of the order. :"
Tho executive committee, then, has no griev-
Rnces from any class of employees before it7'
1T is being tried, ! understand, to get the
committee to indorse something of an effort on
the part of certain class of Nordyke & Mar
mon 5 employees. These men, those who have
what they think is a grievance, are not machin-
lists in the proper meaning of that term. They
run lathes and other machinery where little
skill is required. II is claimed by them that
they ought to be paid machinists' wages. Their
claim is not admitted by the Knights Of Labor,
because this class of workingmen are not in the
complete meaning of the word skilled mechan
les. If they strike, and there is no certainty
that they will, it will doubtless be settled with
ont the Interference of the knights of Labor.
The wages OF railroad men are satisfactory, and
The situation viii be quietly accep ted, with no
danger OF disturbing element, unless it should
appear in the eighthour movement
