OF the local trade assemblies adjourned
after midnight last night. 1t was deter
mined that the Mallory boycott should be

citic roads. An order will at once be is
isued that every Knight OF Labor, work
ing on either OF these lines must refuse to
handle freight consigned TO or from the

ters TO a crisis, as the roads will be COM
PEELED TO discharge the men who refuse
to handle the boyc0tted freight, and then

uted from the Treasury Department to
localities in all parts Of the country in
sums not exceeding 5000, but this can
be done only, OF course, as the certifi-
Gates are ready. In other words, the

peassd, these certificates will be dis

A CHILD'S AWFUL TREATMENT
BY a COIored Man and Woman.

CHICAGO, ILL, December ga
special from Des Moines, Ia Gays: A
negro man aud woman, A. Brown and
Chloe Robinson, living near Monte
yuma, were ARE sted today for tortur-
ing to death Browns six year old
grandson. The boy WAS found lifeless
in bed yesterday morning, having
died during the night. Investigation
showed that Brown and the wo-
man Robinson had been in the
habit of numerically beating the
child upon the slightest occasion, and
that death resulted from their in
human treatment. The testimony at
the inquest indicated that Chloe
Robinson had suspended the little one
by the heels aud belsbored him with
a rope thirty minutes for some alleged
offense. Subsequently Brown sus-
pended the boy in like manner, and
wore out on his frail body half doz an
switches, concluding the castigaton by
washing him with salt and water.

of the death OF Gen. Gordon in Kbar-

Africa, gives the particulars of the
capture OF the Devoted City, and Gays:
"B1t as to the enemy OF God, Gordon,
though we had warned him and talked
Kindly 10 him, that he might return
to God, yet he never did 81, because
his miserable state was foreordeined
by God. Because of his foolishness he
was removed by God to the piece of
His wrath, which is a bad plsce'to re-
Gnain in" Which is as much as to
say that God made poor Gordon for
hell, manufactured him, 80 to speak,

THE resignation of Lord Randolph
Churchill has created great sensation
in England, where within a year past
he has risen out of mere notoiiety
and into something like statesm snehip.
His reasons for so grave a step are
that as the Minister responsible for
the national finances he could not
concur in the estimates put forth by
the War Office and the admiralty.
This may be a good and su6f q snt
reason to "me lud," but in face of the
'.iact that all Europe is arming and
bracing up for fight it does seem as
rif he was just little off his base. 'Tn
time of peace prepare for war" wsa q
q maxim of our great and noble
Washington. Nowhere is 1t more ap-
pliCable just now than in England,
with it's undred dependencies and its
thousands of millions all over the
globe to protect. In this view il is
jugt,a little possible that Lord Ran
dolph Churchill has been little too
lhasty.
