Mr.. Powderly's enemies among the
Knights OF Labor have signally failed
to distroy the confidence placed by II
majority of the members in their gen
eral master workman. They have
been very active and bitter ut the
indianapolis convention, as they were
at Minneapolis year ago and ut pre-
vious annual meetings. But in the
face OF all their charges, and notwith-
standing the recent great losses in
membership and the bad financial con
dition OF tho order, Mr.. Powderly has
been chosen to his old position, with
more power than ever before, by q
vote of III to %. The other officers
are mainly of his own selection.
While expenses were reduced in near
" every other direction, the salary of
the general master workman remains
$4,000 year
The faith which Mr. Powderiy has
inspired in his fellow members is
probably not misplaced. The Knights
OF Labor, though still weakened t.
dissensions, have now fair chance
OF enjoying renewed prosperity under
the conservative leadership of their

sToY CONVICTED.
CIrcumstantiai Evidence convinces the

Circumstantial Evidence Conyinces the
Jury Of His Guilt.
c. D. Stoy was convicted by a jury in
Department One of the Superior Court yes
terday of assault with intent to commit
murder, and will receive his sentence on
Friday. The assault was committed on
David Finch, general foreman of the Ma
toma vineyard, about halfway between
Natoma Station and Folsom, on the ed of
February last.
The testimony in the case was entirely
circumstantial, but it made very strong
chain of evidence. The motive appears to
have been revenge. for having been dis
charged from the vineyard in November
last. Grin Freese, who was driving de-
livery wagon at Folsom at the time, testi-
fed that he picked Stoy up along the road,
and gave him a ride into town, and that
Stoy said he had been driven away from
the ranch.
Emmett Harmon, an employee of the Ma
toma Company, testified that on the Dist of
February, in passing the place, his horse
SHE'D, and he forced him up to the cut to
see what was the cause. AS he did so he
saw Stoy going up the bank, having on a
long oyercoat.
About o'clock on the 22d of February
Mr.. Finch passed the spot, driving team
OF mules. He was about twenty feet be-
You'd the cut when he heard rifle shot
and the ball grazed his ear. As quick as
he could stop the mules and turn round
he saw smoke issuing from a hole il the
bank and saw man running away, with
rifle sticking out from under a long coat
Just then his team started to run away,
and he was compelled to go after them, but
he thought he recognized Stoy. man
named Michael Cooney was working near
by heard the shot and assisted in catching
the mules. An examination CT the place
showed that a little cave had been
fixed up with a seat and dry grass,
makiDgi comfortable place of con-
cealment, which had evidently been occu-
pied for considerable length of time.
Some of the same kind of grass was found
at Stoy's cabin in Folsom and some of it
lay along the trail leading to the hole in
the bank. The prosecution proved that
Stoy used great deal of chewing tobacco,
and that III the little cave there was evil
dence that the person who had occupied it
had expectorated great quantity of to-
bacco-iuice.
1t was also shown that three days prior
to the assault Stoy borrowed rifle from
Mr.. Houx, the druggist at Folsom, and re-
turned it the day he was arrested When
he got the rifle he went out the back door
of the store with it and came in that door
when he returned it.
In finding the defendant guilty as
charged the jury recommended him to the
mercy of the Court. Stoy has once been
IN the insane asylum, and Judge Armstrong
remarked that he was evidently the kind
of man who might commit such acts as
the one for which he was tried. but there
was not sufficient evidence of insanity to
warrant his being sent to an asylum.
