All day long jackson had been stealing
along our flank to take the army in the
rear, but we did not suspect it. We
had turned Lees position at Fredericks-
burg, and he must come out and fight
us on the Salem hills. Hooker could
select his own battle-ground, and victory
must surely perch upon his banners. As
darkness fell and our camp fires bazed
in the Virginia thickets we were enthus-
iastic.
With no more warning than a tiger

would not surrender. Like one rising

Mill suddenly confronted me. We
recognized each other at once. Thrice

THE KNIGHTS nF LARnR.

WHEN THE ORDER WAS ORGANIZED
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO MEMBERSHIP.
The organization known as the Knights
of Labor was organized on Thanksgiving
Day, 1869, in Philadelphia, by Uriah s.
Stevens, garment cutter, who had six
other garment cutters associated with him.
They formed what was afterwards known
as Local Assembly No l, of the Knights
of Labor. The Order was confined to
garment cutters, but eventually other
branches of industry were organized
under the shield of the Order.
The organization grew slowly until
January l, 1879. 1t was all that time
without recognized head. Through the
efforts of few energetic members a
General Convention was held in Reading,
Penn, on January l, 1873. when the
General Assembly was formed, with Mr..
Stevens as Grand Master Workman and
Charles II. Litchman, of Marblehead
Mass. as Grand Secretary.
There were about l, 200 branches of
the Order formed up to that time They
worked secretly until January /, 1882,
when the existence of the Order was pub
licly proclaimed.
Since that time the growth of the
Knights of Labor has been wonderful and
enormous. So great has beent he incease
that the chief officers have decided not to
allow any more branches to be started
until April Is.
To gain admission, person must be
engaged in some honorable branch of in
dustry. Both sexes are admitted to
membership. As a rule il is useless to
apply for admission, because it is a rule
of the Order to select members. Thus a
person may beproposed and rejected with
out ever knowing it. Men are usually
proposed by friends who judge them
worthy Of fellowship.
Business men can join. In an Assem-
bly, one hundred strong, seventy-fvemem-
bers must be employees.
Meetings as rule are held weekly, but
some Assemblies do not meet so
often.
The Order is not oath bound. Each
member takes a solemn pledge, and if
he violates it he is expelled and black
balled all over the country. Violation
of the rules renders a member liable TO
suspension ranging from one to five
years.
There are two kinds of Assemblies
trade and mixed assemblies. A trade
Assembly is composed of men engaged
at one special branch of industry. A
mixed Assembly is composed of mechan-
les, labOrers, professional men and so
on.
Local Assemblies are governed by a
District Assembly, which may include
five Or five hundred Local Assemblies
The District Assembly is in turn gov
erned 10y the General Assembly
The Order is benevolent, protective
and educational, The expenses Of mem
bsrs are very liqht a man may admit
that he Is 70 member hstthr is not al

motion was granted by Judge Mahoney. The

Considerable importance has been thrown
around the two criminal suits brought against
Jeremiah Smith ana Charles Witt. butchers,
to test the validity of the ordinance prohibit
ing slaughter-houses within the city limits.
The cases were brought TO a focus yesterday.
and after an elaborate and exhaustive argu-
ment, the court dismissed the actions. The
court heldS that the ordinance, so far as I
affected the defendants, was unconstitutional.
The evidence showed that the slaughter
| houses owned by the defendants had been
built outside the city limits that the city
limits had been so extended as to include
them, and that the ordinance made no pro-
vision for indemnifying the owners for losses
they might suffer by an enforcement of the
provisions of the ordinance.
