The Tichhorne Case.

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-Charles Curtis,
alias Tichborne, was brought up again to-
day before United States Commissioner
Benedict, in Brooklyn, for examination On
the charge of a fraudulent pension claim.
United States District Attorney Wilbur
stated that his evidence was completed. The
prisoner was then discharged. He was at
once rearreSted and charged with having
obtained a pension under false pretense,
claiming that he had lost his fingers in the
war, when he lost them in raising a house
at San Diego, Cal. The testimony of B. r.
Shopf, the special examiner of the pension
office, was taken. He swOre that Curtis
had applied for pension. Curtis told wit
ness he did not know where he lost his
fingers. John Dick. of Brooklyn, was with
Curtis in the army and went to California
after the war. Curtis had not lost his
fingers before they went to California. The
case was then adjourned.

solely for the purpose of satisfying himself
of it's authenticity. The scene in the meet
ing when the order was read, in many re-
spectS was an extraordinary one.
Mr.. Barry had not finished the an
nOuncement before the assemblage was
in All uproar. Men rose to their feet and
shouted they would never go back, that
they would starve before they would sur
render, and that they would have eight
hours or nothing. At late hour Mr.
Barry. looking weary and careworn, made
the following statement to reporters:
The hall was crowded tonight; filed to
overtowing. My order to the men to return
to work at ten hours day and Mr.. Pow
derly's dispatch to me We're both read They
were received with anger by the men, who
manifested their dispeasure in loud protests
and general cry of mo ten hours, 1--WE
won't go back" ''eight hours only" ''well
die first 1t was the most excited
body of men / ever saw. / and
others cOuuseled them to obey the order ana
return to work, and not to take action to-
night when they were excited, but TO attend
the meeting of the assemblies tomorrow and
then Cecide on the matter. My Judgment in
ordering them back would have been other
wise than that OF Mr.. Powderly anu the gen.
eral executive board, and 1 think if the
other members of the BOARD had been
here they would have thought the same. 1
do not care to give my reasons in detail. The
Knights of Labor favor the eight-hour plan.
The view of the general board was that so
many people worked from eleven to sixteen
hours day that they had better seek to have
the ten-hour plan established first. The
packers refused to submit to arbitration and
they made mistake at first. The closing of
the strike depends on the men, whether they
obey or not. am in hopes that they will
obey.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia. A. Carlton, rep
resenting the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor, being,interyiewed, would
not commit himself. He said, however,
that while the strikr was still a local affair
only, he was here to look after the good of
the entire body, and the terms of its settle
ment would need to have more than
merely local significance. He did not
think there was any probability of a boycott
being ordered, the packers having rescinded
their resolution to employ non-union men
only. The strikers were thus diSarmed so
far as a boycott was concerned, and the
question at issue was simply that of hours.
a call was made Oh several of the packers
down town. and nearly all of them said
they were ignorant of any contemplated
conference.
A further hunt was instituted and at last
a gentleman, closely associated with some
of the members of the packers executive
committee was found. He said that
conference would take place in a few hours
and would be attended by Mr.. Carleton,
Mr.. Hately and Congressman Frank Law
ler, who would act as mediator. Later this
important information was confirmed by no
less person than Mr.. Hately himself. He
was found alone in his office, and promptly

The Sebrisht scandal.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The hearing in the Sc
bright divorce case was resumed to-day. Sew
eral witnesses testified to Mrs. Sebright' S
worried and exctable condition during the
period Immediately following her marriage.
Concerning the allegation made on the petit
toner's behalf that one of the means by
which Mr.. Sebrigbt forced her to marry was
a threat that if she refused he would declare
that during their secret engagement he had
obtained a surrender Of her virtue, the judge
said that no evidence had been adduced to sus-
tain the charge. Mrs. Sebright's counsel
thereupou withdrew the allegation, which
Mr.. Sebright declared was ''base lie." Lady
Scott. the mother of Mrs. Sebright testified
that when she heard of the alleged threat by
the respondent against her daughters char
scter she had the petitioner examined by a
physician, who found that the facts refuted
any possible claim that Mr.. Sebright might
make against the young ladys honor. The
case has been adjourned until Tuesday next,

"Wednesday last. They regard it as one of
those spontaneous public movements that
will tend to stimulate Judicial mechanism.
While at the same time they rejoice that it
was not permitted to pass the limits of
demonstration. Six of the persons taken
into custody for participating in it were
to-day charged with riot. Their cases were
continued. The funeral of the murdered
young girl took place this morning. Five
thousand people attended it. The Golden

house on Hayes street. While doing so
crowds assembled ard started TO smash the
furniture. Better influences. however, pre-

part in peace.

lived on Eagle street, near the center of
the city. He was originally blacksmith.
Being very economical, he managed to
save little. and in few years he mar
rid a widow named Mrs. Fudge. She had
about So, 600. A certain patent bucket ap-
pearing about this tIune took the black
smiths fancy, and dealing in it he realized
largely. Several successful deals in real
estate augmented his fortune. In the panic
of 1878 both he and his wife made large
amounts of money. Their combined for
tunes are by many placed at 5000 600. The
life of the couple was as peculiar as the indi-
vidualS themselves. Though living under
the same roof. the WhellerS were seperate
in the majority of matters as different fam
lilies occupying a double house. Mrs.
WHEELER conducted her own business affairs
and WHEELER knew nothing of them beyond
what she chose to tell him at the nightly
chats before the kitchen fire, when they ate
their supper and drank their beer. He was
equally silent about his own money affairs,
and always addressed his wife as Mrs.

although it might have been a trinket of
scarcely any value Many stories float
about the neighDOrhood concerning the
business deals the Whellers had with each
other. Although rich. both dressed in the
poorest style, and the old nan wears coat
that ragpickerS would hesitate to bargain
for. Friday night about O'Clock, accord
ing to WhellerS story, the old couple
were sitting in the Office of their
residence as usual, reading a news
paper. when the door was thrown
open and Patrick Graves came in. Graves
struck WHEELER with some heavy instru-
ment telling the old man to the floor.
WHEELER says that after this he was muffled
and his hands were tied. and then he re-
members little that occurred after, except
that he managed to crawl along the floor TO
front room to his bed. He looked around
before going into the front room, and saw
his wife at the Office door struggling with
Graves. The old man finally reached and
got into his bed, where he lay for an un-
known time. and by repeated efforts finally
succeeded in freeing his hands from the
cords that bound them. He then gave the
alarm. After the old man had left the
room it is presumed Mrs. WHEELER was at
tackled by Graves. and, despite her struggles
was thlotted and laid on the floor. After
this the murderer escaped. Such is the story
told BY WHEELER. Suspicion was directed to
him and he was arrested along with Graves,
who claims that he can prove an alibi. The
house was ransacked, and the claim is put
forward that robbery was the motive of the

said. lis that | received a message from Mr
LaWler asking me if | would be willing to
meet himself and Mr.. Carleton at my Office

What the outcome of the conference will
be- L, of course, cannot say" This is the
fir st intimation received that Congressman
Lawler has taken any interest in the stock
yards trouble.
AT THE MEETING
Mr.. Hately called the attention Of Messrs
Lawler and Carleton to schedule showing
the rate of wages paid at Chicago and
other points. He claimed that the rate in
Chicago. taking into consideration the ten
hour day, was 25 per cent. higher than any
place else. The conference lasted until
high-nOon, when Mr.. Carleton and Con-
gresham Lawler were bowed out by MI.
Hately, who was evidently in very happy
state of mind. None of the trio would give
any information about the talk except to
say that it was of an unofiIal and purely
private nature. Mr.. Lawler appeared very
anxious to have the fact of his presence
kept from the public, fearing. as he said,
that knowledge that he was interesting
himself in the matter would lead the strik
sumed political complexion, and lengthen
the deplorable contest. Mr.. Carleton said
he had nothing to say beyond the fact that
he had very full and pleasant discussion
of the situation with Mr.. Hately, who is a
member of the executive board of the
Packers association, and was in hopes that
an amicable solution of the knotty problem
would be reached at an early day. MI.
Hately was in non-cOmmunicative frame
of mind. He was willing to say that Mr..
Carleton was the
MOST CONSERVATIVE AND REASONABLE
of the many men he had talked with, but
beyond this he was not willing to go. All
was quiet and orderly at the stock yards to-
day. About 4:30 o'clock this afternoon
crowd of nearly 1900 strikers gathered
about the dwelling of the Armour en-
pIoye who was attacked yesterday while at
tempting to move his household goods to
another neighborhood. The ire of the
strikers against this man is owing to the
fact that he is Knight of Labor, and re-
fuses to go out with the others. He again
had his goods upon wagons this afternoon,
when he was
SET UPON BY THE MOB.
Company E, of the First regiment, ar
rived before much damage was DONE and
charged the mob, which fell back. Company
E then divided into detachments, which
were stationed at the street corners in the
vicinity. a patrol-wagon load of Pinkerton's
men beng left to protect the goods of the
unpopular employe. Another crowd was
quickly organized, and had nearly overpow
cred the Pinkerton guard, when Company
c. of the Second. arrived on double-quick
and. charging through the mob, arrested
six men and put the others to rout. No
casualties are reported.
At a meeting of the strikers tonight
dispatch was read by Mr. Barry from Mr.
Powderly, ordering the strike OF and the
men to return to work. The sentiment OF
the meeting was equally divided and further
action on the matter was postponed until
Monday.
