cided opposition 10 the leadership OF Powderly In the

is probable now that within two weeks all Of the
fftyone local coopers assemblies In the United States
will also withdraw from the Knights Of Labor and
form themselves into National organization with a
government and officers TO suit the radical ideas of
the members.
The cause Of this revolutionary movement within
the knights Of Labor dates back to the time OF the
Inauguration of the eighthour movement in 1886.
The meeting hold last Friday night was the largest
gathering of the Chicago coopers since the stock yards
strike when Powderly ordered the 10000 men either
10 return to work on the tenhour system or to sur
render the charters of their assemblies. The local
assembly then had 500 members In Chicago Be
cause the assembly refused to withdraw from tho
Knights Of Labor at that this number has DIV ndled
down until now but $50 names are on the rolls
George Schilng said this afternoon: . In a few
weeks you will hear that the majority OF the nty-one
local coopers' assemblies In the knights OF sDor MI

BIG BLAZE AT ATHENS.
The Business Part of the Town Re-
duced to Ashes.

SKowHEGAN, Oct. 30-The village of Ath-
ems, about II miles north of this town, was
visited this morning by a fire which practi-
cally wiped out the business part of the
town. Reports from the village say that
five stores were burned. If this is true
there is no store left, for there were only five
stores in the village. The fire started in the
store of G. f. Dore & Sons, originating in a
room where their heavy goods were stored,
and it spread at once through the large new
block of Wade g. Ware, the finest building
in town. Dore & Sons stock was a total
loss. The post office was located in their
store, and all OF the mail, with the exception
of one bag, were destroyed The public hall
and the Odd Fellows hall were situated in
this new block, and nothing remains but
ashes, the Odd Fellows losing their regaias
and other property o. L. Bush, L. c. Will
llams and K. 5. York are said to have been
burned out.
The goods in four of the stores were most
" saved, although in damaged condition.
Five families were burned ont.
The village presents most des0late APP
pearance. and for a small country town the
blow is crushing one. The citizens are
well-to-do, however, and are doing all that is
necessary for the sufferers. The total loss is
estimated at $4,000, on which there is an in
surance of $10,S00. There is no doubt but
that the village will be we'll built up, as men
Of means and enterprise live in the town.
Ed. Ware, one of the losers, owns the finest
mansion in Somerset county, and has plen-
ty of capital. The citiz, Ds worked nobly to
stop the spread of the flames, but had moth
ing to fight them with except buckets of wa
ter. AT one time it was thought the whole
village would be destroyed, and great alarm
was felt Women and children were aroused
from their beds, and the whole populace
fought with desperation.
