KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
A Grand Master Workman to be Voted
for This Week

IOr Ills Wo0k.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 12-Many
delegates have already arrived to attend
the eleventh annual convention of the
Knights of Labor, which will convene in
this city tomorrow. The session promises
to be one of the most imposing in the his
tory of the organization. One Of the points
around which contest will center will be
the election of general master workman, an
executive committee and a full list of gem
eral officers. Mr.. Powderly has repeatedly
stated that he would not stand for re-
election, but his intimate friends declare
that he is the only man in whose hands the
order can be safely trusted, and it is known
that they will insist upon his
accepting the leadership for another
term. IL is claimed that he can be re-
elected if he is willing to accept. The indi-
cations, however, point to a vigorous con-
test as Thomas Barry, G. w. Carlton, ]. P.
Buchanan and other leaders of the opposi-
ton are going to be present in force. 1t
remains TO be seen upon which side of the
contest Charles H. Litchman, the nte
general secretary for the order, will throw
his support.

A TALLY SHEET IN THE BOX.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. IA curious
complication has arisen in regard to the
official returns from one precincs in Prince
George county. After the votes were
counted, one OF the judges through ignor-
ance, put the tally sheet into the ballot box
and locked it up. The law for
bids the box to be reopened unless
there Is contest and how
legally TO return the ballots, the judges Of
the district are puzzled TO know. The
governor has been appealed TO, but 10 is
feared that he will say he has no jurisdic-
ton.
In that event, there Is but one course to
be pursued. Fortunately the new boxes are
transparent The judges will probably
met, and while one OF them shakes the
box up, the other will watch
until the tally sheet falls on top Of its other
contents with the figured side up. They
will then carefully read the returns, make a
correct copy and send it to the Secretary
Of State. While the official returns from
the Fifth district are not complete, owing
70 the above cause, the returns, as far as
known, give Compton. dem, plurality OF

MURDERED IN THEIR BED.

A Coupling Pin Used by the Muir
derer, Who Commits Suicide.
WINoNA, ILL, Nov. 12-Peter Howe,
senior member of the banking firm of Howe
& Son, and his wife, were found dead in
their room this morning by servant as
she came down stairs to begin her domestic
duties. They had been beaten to
death by a car coupling pin. Sus-
picion became fastened upon Charles
Burkhadt, and a watch was set upon
him. He discovered that he was
being watched, and he cut his throat in his
bedroom with a razor, and was dead in
five minutes. Mr.. Howe was 70 years old
aad his wife 60. Robbery was not the
motive for the crime, as nothing was taken
from the house A grudge of some sort
was known TO exist in Burkhardts mind and
this directed suspicion at once to him.
HowE's PHILANTHROPY.
Mr.. Howe, the murdered man, had
amassed a fortune of $3.50 900. He was
very charitable and possessed a spirit OF
philanthropy which led him. some time ago,
TO endow the Howe Institute, at New iberia,
La, and the Baptist Institute, at Memphis,
Tenn, the latter being college for the
education of INDECENT persons of both races.
Burkhardt, the murderer, was dissolute,
drunken fellow, and very dangerous when
under the influence of liquor. The citizens
of Winona emphatically express themselves
to the effect that had not Burkhardt COM
mitted suicide they would have lynched
him.
Sheriff Morrissey of Ottawa, with three
deputies, arrived on the scene at noon, APP
prebensive Of difficulty OF this kind, but
the man had saved all trouble.
SERVANT GIRLS STORY.
The coroner this evening obtained state-
ment from a servant girl named Sarah
Richardson. She said that her step father.
Burkhardt, the murderer, came to the house
last night, did his fendish work DOWNSTAIRS.
then came to her room and told her what
he had dcne, and after an attempts
to ravish her, left the house. She lay all
night not daring to give an alarm
lest he waylay and murder her. Appar-
emily the assassin's motive, aside from re-
venge and liqnor. was to enable his STEP
daughter TO come into possession of sum
of money promised her by the old people.
provided she would stay with them during
their lifetime. IL would seem that the mur.
derer had crazy idea that with the girl
once in possession of this money, il would
be an easy matter for him to secure It.
