INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 15.-The knights Of
Labor heard the reports Of the general Of
ficers and committees, but nothing has been
given out. The annual report of General Mas
ter Workman Powderly was delivered late
in the day, owing TO the non-arrival OF the
printed copies. These reports win probably
take up all Of the time for another day.
The appeal Of Thomas b. Barry for hear
ing was submitted by him to the general as
sembly. and action on it viii be awaited by
him before he does anything further. Just
what he may do is problem that causes
some worry among the knights He keeps
close watch on his tongue regarding his prob
able movements, but talks freely Ia criticism
Of the present management OF the order.
Other opposition 20 Powderly Is based
more on a claim Of weakness I'm management
than ON such allegations as have been made
by Barry. Still, this opposition Is scarcely
in form to fight him, and he win Doubt IS be
reelected without troable in case he will ac-
cept, which no one OF his friends win say.
One delegate opposes Powderly because
he has no backbone and because he is influ-
enced by that gang OF corruptionists from
New York, who have been the bans Of the
order since the Richmond convention"

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-A dispatch from
Washington to The Post says: "a dispatch
has bsen received from Senator Kenna In
which he states that there can no longer be
any question that the Democrats have car.
ried West Virginia, and secured the legisla,
ture, the governor and all the congressman.
If this shall prove true the prospects thai
the Democrats will secure the control of the
organization of the house have improved.
"The election of Atkinson Rep.), in the
First West Virginia district, is not deter.
mined, and it may be that the final classified.
ton will stand 1874 Democrats to 16i Repub.
icans. The Democrats think that there can
be no possible doubt that they have carried
their state and congressional ticket in West
Virginia, and made certain the election OF
the governor and United States senator.
They concede to the Republicans only one
congressman, and claim a majority in the
legislature on joint ballot of two. 1t is ex.
pected that the official canvass will be com.
pleted today.

An Exciting Episode In a New Prestons
Conn, Church.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 15.-There was an ex-
citing scene in the Congregational church 1t
New Preston, Conn last Sunday. For some
time there has bsen bad feeling between the
Rev. G. II. Childs, the pastor Of the church,
and tho Rev. Henry Epson, who was Mr..
Childs' predecessor ms pastor, but who now
teaches school in the town.
On Sunday, as Mr. Childs was about to
commence his sermon, Mr. Epson assembled
the pulpit, caught Mr. Childs by the arm and
said: "You shall not talk to these people
until you apologize for your conduct toward
me. / am one OF your congregation and
demand an explanation"
He then denounced Mr. Chlds in very SCI
we're terms, and charged that he had at
tempted to ruin his (Upton's) business and de
preciate his character in the community.
For moment the congregation was dunn
founded. Finally dozen young men rushed
forward and forcibly pulled the excited Mr..
Upton from the pulpit and removed him
from the church.

Two WAYS. Choose Which,

There are two usual ways of doing what
Nature sometimes does incompletely, name.
ly, to relieve the bowels. One is to swal-
low a drastic purgative which evacuates
profusely, abruptly and with pain, the 9TH
er is to take llostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the effect OF which is not violent, but sufii-
GENTLY thorough, and which does not gripe
the intestines. IL the first is selected, the
person employing it need not expect perm
anent benefit, and he cannot hope to escape
the facilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse off than before. If,
OH the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters
he can rely upon the restoration of regu-
lar habit of body, consequent upon re-
newal of healthy tone in the intestinal
canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY relaxing the
bowels, the Bitters arouses a dormant liv-
er, imrarts beneficial impetus to the &C
ton of the kidneys, and counteracts the
early twinges of rheumatism, a tendency TO
govt, and malaria in all its forms.

Valuable Stockings

The ''long stocking" Of the French
peasant is proverbial. Sometimes
there are several long stockings, as
well as wooden shoes, in which bank
notes and bullion are piled promiscu-
ously. This was the case the other
day at town called Gssy-sous-Flavig-
NY, in Burgundy, where an old coun-
trywoman, who had long been known
Tor her penurious habits, died. She
had inhabited veritablc pig-stye, and
her emaciatcd body was found on a
heap of rags and rubbish. In her cot
ton stockings and sabots were found
notes and gold amounting to nearly
e. 600, numerous trinkets of considera-
BILE value, and securities worth more
than f5. 900. The local notary. who
was called in by the relatives, could
hardly believe his eyes when he made
the inventory of the estate. Rather
unscemly rejoicing were INDUCED In
by the next-of-kin, who had organized
kind of Hibernian wake in the old
woman's howell; and when the un-
dcrtaker's people came to take the body
away for burial, they found the whole
place Uttered with vino bottles. The
very best Burgundy, only, had been
consumed OH the premises by the heirs.
