The Troubles at the Frankford, Pa,

An important conference was held at
Philadelphia on the 4th inst. between
the members of the aid committee of
the Philadelphia Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION and the executive board of
the Knights of Labor, by which the
frankfort troubles are practically set
tied. The Knights of Labor were
represented by General Master Work
man Powderly and Messrs Hayes,
Aylesworth and Carleton. AS re-
suit of the conference the follow
ing statement is made cat a.
meeting of the aid commit
tee of the Philadelphia Manufact-
urers' Association the general execu-
tive board of the Knights of Labor
withdrew all the grievances of the
strikers at Trott's mill with the ex-
ception of one relating to the cues
ton of wages, which will be referred
to arbitration. This was agreed to by
the aid committee. This practically
settles the difficulties at Trott's mill
1t was also agreed that the general
executive board of the Knights of
Labor, in connection with the com
mittee of the Philadelphia Manufact-
urers' Association, have formulated
set OF rules which shall govern them
in the settlement of all further differ
ences between employees and employ
ers, to the end of hereafter preventing
strikes and lockouts.'

Labor Notes.

Eight hundred miners employed at the
Cameron Coliery, near Mt. Carmel, Pa, the
largest operation in the Shamokin Valley
have decided to strike unless the Mineral
Mining Company advance wages 10 pei
cent. The advance is improbable. Five
hundred Excelsior miners are still on strike
and the Luke Fiddler and Hickory Swamp
miners will probably join them.
A Chicago dispatch of the 9Th says: The
executive committee of the Knights of La
Dor have just issued general order direct
ing all the men employed in the packing es
tablishments at the Union Stock Yards, in
both the beef and pork packing establish
ments, to stop work SIT 3 o'clock this after
noon. This makes the strike general and
causes nearly $4,000 men to stop work. 1t
is not yet known whether the men will stop
work.

THERE.is at least one state in the
Union where married women have a
fair legal chance. The supreme court
of Vermont has just decided that a
husband is liable in damages for an
assault by his wife on one of his neigh
bors, even if the assault be committed
against his will and in spite of his
best endeavors." Such decision will
hardly increase the popular tendency
to matrimony; but it makes life much
better worth living to those of tn
ticoated sex who have already con-
trived to supply themselves with hus-
bands.

AT a public meeting in New York the

condemning the action of the officers
of the Manhattan Club in quietly eject

ECKvILLE, Pa, Nov. Am exciting
time was bad down at Lambeth e
lime kilns, near here, Tuesday. A
number of farmers knew that there
were two men, strangers in the place,
operating among the young women OF
the neighborhood, frequenting the
gatherings Of Sunday schools and
ingratiating themselves among the
single women, and the farmers
determined to drive them out of the
neighborhood. The elder of the two
Brother Ettig, as he was called
was seen emerging from Gray's
meadow with young Leena Eckelber-
ger, whom he was inducing to join a
Mormon colony. Ettig was seized
and dragged to the lime sheds and
rolled in bin Of white lime dust and
started on q run through the woods.
Basing, the other suspected party,
was also seized, and ducked
in q creek, and cowhided and
started through the woods in
the direction Ettig had taken.
1t appears that there was q concerted
plan according to which number of
deluded young women should all be
ready to start West on O. given day to
join a Mormon settlement. At least q
dozen young women have had their
heads turned by all sorts Of promises
made by these fellows, and for time
it was difficult to secure hired female

Most farmers now take few days
of recreation after the busy labors Of
summer are over, which is most COM
mendable. But their other and bet
ter selves, their wives, equally need
the days of rest. Work in the house
during the heat of summer has been
equally laborious, and often more
nerve-trying, than the work out of
doors. Woman's work is never done;
but the husband taking q holiday will
not and should not enjoy his vacation
unless his equally Woodworking wife
accompanies him.

IN GOre1Sn countries.
BERLIN, Nov. 5.-The recent visit of
Herr Won Bleichroder, British consul
general here, and an authority on
financial questions, to Prince Bis
marck at Varzin, has given rise to ru-
mors on the bourse that Prince Bis
marck sought Herr Won Bleichroder's
views because of the serious danger he
perceived in the increasing fondness of
Germans for foreign investments which
yield high interest, but offer bad Sc
curity. The alarm felt by the chan
cellor is said to have arisen from the
avidity with which the Buenos Ayre-
an loan was absorbed. An enormous
amount of Russian stock is already
held in Berlin, and the wisdom of for
eign investments is being hotly dis
cusseG by newspapers and fnanciers.
