TROUBLED BROCKTON.
The Manufacturers Ignore the Demands
of the Knights.

The Manufacturers Ignore the Demands
of the knights.
BRocKToN, Mass, Aug. 31.-No sooner is
the months lockout of the lasters ended at
the forty-two shoe factories here than
another struggle begins. The Knights of
Labor presented series of demands to the
manufacturers, ordering their members to
remain out till an answer was received.
Notwithstanding this many knights went to
work on the reopening of the factories.
Learning this proclamation was issued
ordering all the knights out of the factories.
The manufacturers met yesterday afternoon
to consider the demands of the knights and
decided to make no reply at ALL The propo-
sition of the knights was laid indefinitely on
the table. The manufacturers claim that
there is great disaffection among the knights,
and that at least 500 members will ask to be
released at the next meeting. On this ac-
count the manufacturers think they can
defy the knights and run their factories
with less outside interference than hereto
fore. There are many knights on the
street who denounce the action of their
leaders, snl say if outsiders would let
Brockton alone all differences between en-
ployer and employed could be easily settled.

Hurt by Falling Buildings - Many
Towns Destroyed.
ATHENS, Aug 3O.-Violent earthquake
shocks have been frightening the people
and destroying villages and men in many
parts of the Mediterranean coast The area
of the Grecian district affected is phenome-
nally large, and at least six towns have
been entirely destroyed, while score of
others are partly demolished The shocks
We're most disastrous in the Morea Of
Greece, where it is estimated that over 300
have perished.
On the islands the deadly effect of the
disturbances has been most severe and it is
estimated that 600 persons have been killed
and upward of 1000 seriously injured.
NAPLES, Aug 30.-Mount Vesuvius is
now in violent state of eruption, and the
people living in its vicinity have fled to the
interior, where they are congregated in open
fields, spending the most of their time in
prayer Naples is almost depopulated, and
the few who remain are almost panic
stricken. The open spaces and squares of
the city are filled with men and women up
on their knees offering up prayers to stay
the eruptions and save their lives. The
same state of CONSERVATION exists at Bari,
where the priests are proclaiming that the
eruption is a visitation of God because of the
wickedness of the people and consequent
awakening of religious fervor has taken
place Nearly every person in the town can
be seen in devotional attitude at almost
any time in the day or night
Brindisi, Foggia and laramie felt the
earthquake severely.
Violent shocks have been experienced in
Egypt causing terror among the natives but
so far as learned no great amount Of dam
age
The earthquake center seems to be in the
sea about 30 miles north of Zante, large
island on the wrst coast of Greece.

A Pl WE 3FUL WATERSPOUT.
An Iowa Towns Dangerous Artesian
Well,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. IA dispatch re-
ceived at the city hall from the mayor of
+. lie Plhine, Iowa, states that an artesian
well four inches in diameter burst when the
Il, pth of $50 feet had been reached in
boring and instantly volume of water
wn., forced several hundred feet into the
air. This gradually increased in size and
volume until stream of fully sixteen
in hes in diameter was formed, the upward
force of which is of great power. TIL, water
in huge volumes is spouting high in the
air and the supply seems inexhaustible. Two
rivers have b en- formed by this phenom-
en0l water-burst which are running
through the town at the rate of twelve
mil an hour and carrying everything be-
foI them. Houses and lives are threatened
and the citizens are appalled, at their
impending danger. Finding it impossible
to divert this damaging food an attempt
was made to insert sixteen inch boiler iron
tubes into the well, but these were instantly
blown high into the air. The terrified
people then attempted to fill up the aperture
with fifteen car loads of stone, but these
were forced upward as though propelled by
the force of giant powder. Bags of sand,
hastily constructed and cast into the we'll,
were also hurled into the air. The Chicago &
Northwestern railroad sent large gang
of men to the rescue, and the bridge gang
of the county was called upon, but no
abatement in the flow of water YVES p r
ceptible, and the rushing rivers were WI ST.
ing their channels deeper and wider, while
the basin formed was sprcr .n;s over the
lowlands in the vicinity The mayor of
Belle Plaine finally telegraph"d to Chicago
for the best engineers that could be secured
to come Immediately to the spot and use
their skill and energy in attempting to stop
this perilous condition of affairs The mat
ter was referred to City Engineer Art:ng
stall, who has sent Engineer Morgan to the
scene, while other aid will be sent if needed.
