PorTsvILLE, Pa, March IA special meet
ing Of Assembly 9s52, knights Of Labor, of
Mahanoy Plane, was held this afternoon for
the purpose of considering the expediency of
withdrawing as a body from the knights of

fusing to declare the railroad strike off, and
determining to surrender their charter, and
to 'pursue course in the future by which
we may avoid u re-occurrence of past mis-
takes which have been so detrimental to our
own interests and welfare" The assembly

BURLINGTON Ia, March THE brother
hoods of engineers and fremen have griev-
ance against Railroad Commissioner Dey.
Chief Engineer Fowler says short time ago
he was notified by the legislative committee
of the brotherhood to prepare to testify or
send affidavits regarding the competency or
incompetency Of the men employed to run
Burlington engines since the strike The
proper affidavits were sent TO Governor Lar
rabee and the railroad commissioners. Last
Saturday he was notified that Dey was COM
ing to Burlington to look into the matter.
He arrived that night. The brotherhood
committee endeavored seven times on the
following day to see him, but he was not to
be found. On Monday they learned he had left
the city. "Why he had left without making
move in connection with the inquiry"
said Mr.. Fowler "we don't know, but we
propose to find out"
The strikers here are firm and confident
The Burlington yards and depots are guarded
by large force of special police The strik-
ers claim the company is doing but one7hfth

say they have the sympathy Of all business

TARIFF REFORM THE WINNING

It is 8 noteworthy fact, says the Pitts

their intelligent skilled artisans, both in

for CLEVELAND. The majority in 10th

1t is also worth bearing in mind that New
York city, the greatest manufacturing city
on the continent, with its tens Of Thousands
Of skilled and industrious mechanics, has
given GRoyRR CLEVELAND, the champion
of tariff reform, an increased ms ority over
what it gave him four years ago Of about
5000. Republican Chicago also gives hin
q msjority, while Boston, the seat Of Yam
kee culture and mechanic Il ingenuity, IN
dorseg CLEvELAND's tariff principles BY the
big msjority Of 10000.
1t was in the remote country districts
that the Republicans made their gains,
where the peopls are not well informed on
the tariff issue and where the Republicans
could work upon the eredulity OF the psC-
PIE and work their innumsrable schemes
of fraud and colonization almost with I'M
punity.
Look at Wheeling, q city Of lsboring
men, she gave tariff reform her emphatic
endorsement. And so it goes. 1t Is but a
question of time till the people in the
country are fully up on this All-important
question of tariff taxation. 1t is on the
shoulders OF the farmer especially that the
tariff burden weighs most heavily and 1t
will not be long before he finds it out.
Says the Pittsburg Post:
at is the winning issle Of the future,
because it is in the line Of modern pro-
gress, is right and just in itself, and sP'
peals to the political mOralist and practical

that the Republicans. emulsting the Tories

QvsNr1oN OF THE SHOT TOWER
The idea Of Us Construction Revealed In
a Dream.
CHICAGO Nat

CHICAGO Nat
There was OF C a mechanic at Brittol,
England, who had a queer dream. Watts
was his name and he W Shy trade a shot
maker. The making Of the little leaden
pell.t, was then q slow, laboIious, and,
consequently, costly process Watts had
to take great bars OF lead and pound them
ont into sheets of u thickness about equal
TO the diameter of the shot he desired to
make. Then he cut the sheets into little
cubss,yhich hs placed in a revolving bar
rel or box and rolled until the edges wore
off from the cor slant friction and tine lltue
cubes became spheroids.
Watts had ot,n rscktd bls BRAIN tIylog
to devise a better scheme, but In vain. Fl
nally, after an evening spert with some
iolIy companions at the alehouss ne went
home and turned into bed. He o fell
into q deep sluubsr, but the liquor eVl,
IDENTIFY did not agree W tn him, fer ne nsa
q bad drsam He thopg6t Re was ont
again with the 'bcyS." They were all
irving to find their way home when 1t De.
pan 10 rain shot. Beautiful globules OF
lead, polished and shining, fell in a torrent
aud compelled him and his bioulors com
psn'ous to draw their heavy limbs to a
place eff shelter.
In the morning, when Watts arote, he
remembered tie dream. He thought about
il all day, aad wondered what shape mol
ten le,h would take in falling distance
through the air. At last, when h could
rest no longer, he carried q ladleful OF tne
hot metsl up into the stetpleof the Cnuicn
of 81, Mary of Redcliffs and dropped il
into the moat below. Descending, he
took from the bottom of the shallow pool
several handfuls of perfect shot, far supe'
rior to any he had ever seen. Watts for
tune was made, for he had conceived the
idea of the shot tower, which has ever
since been the only means employed IN the
manufacture Of the little missiles so much
used in wsr and sport.

II. Martin Williams, the labor agi-

party is only an attemptto galvanize
the old greenback party, and that he
isn't in with it.
THE greenback party said he,
"was like humble bee. twas big
ger at its birth than ever after. They
may galvanize it but they'll only
make the eyes roll and the arms
twitch. I'm tired of setting up with
the corpse. I'm not democrat and
Tn not republican, and I'm not a
mugwump. I don't know what I am.
I'm out of politics. Think the labor
party will nominate state ticket,
but I'll have nothing to do with the
nomination!''-St. Louis Sayings.

Not 4 Legal Petition.

Clinton, Mo-, May 1.-THE coun-
ty court, which has been in session
since Monday adjourned this after
noon. The most important busi-
ness before it this session was the
petition of E. Costello, asking for
saloon license. Since the local op-
ton law was declared void by the
circuit court, on account of some
Irregularities of ordering the cleo
ton, parties have been circulating
petitions for saloon license. That
of E. Costello was first presented.
The court held that since by their
votes they wanted no saloons, they
would require two-thirds of the res
ident tax-paying citizens in the
block to sign the petition. The
contest then hinged on Sam Lee, an
almond eyed Celestial who has a
laundry in the block, and who had
signed the petition. The court held
him not legal petitioner, and thus
the case went out OF court, and Gin
ton will have no saloons without a
local option law.
