Chicago Ksixhts Are Not saro that He Will
lie Re selected


CHICAGO. Nov. l1.-Great interest i. be . z
taken among the iabOring men in the cfty
in the annual meeting of the General Assem-
bly, OF the Knights Of Labor. which is TO
begin st Indianapolis next Monday. About
one hundred aud fifty delegates are to be
present and Chicago will be well repres-
ented.
IL am not so sure about Powderly being
again selected as General Master Work
man." said z. G. Murphy; a prominent
knIgnt. HE is not n sing man, and
think q great many OF the delegates are
opposed 10 him on that account. | don't
know who they will select, If Powderly is
not the man, but there are plenty Of able
men in the organization"
What business will be transacted" Mr..
Murphy was asked.
We'll after the election OF officers il
will be decided whether we shall take any
part in political matters or not. A great
many are opposed TO participating in poll
itic., but think that the outcome will be
that we are to try 10 have a voice during
elections"
Mr.. Schilling was not inclined TO talk
about the convention. He would not say
whether Powdsrlys chances for election
were good or not. bat finally admitted that
the General Master Workman would have
stood a better show if he had advocated the
sing tax, or Henry George system OF raising
revenue

BIGGEST IN THE WORLD.
The Newly Discovered Natural Gas Well

j ne newly Dnccyered NATURAL Gas Wei
at FIndiay, o.
FISpLAY. Nov. 1.-The immense gas well
of the Syndicate Oil 4 Fuel Co. continues
to pour out its torrent of gas with unabated
force. and its pillows of fame rush up
towards the sky with force that swes all
beholders II is sight that none will
ever forget. The well is partly shut in. and
. great deal of gas is allowed to escape. but
from q six inch pipe laid on the ground the
tame IL forced up above the top of the
derrick fully 30 feet high. An effort will
be made on Sunday TO tube it. This day is
taken 50 as not TO interfere with the pass
ing of trains on the T., C. az S. railroad,
which would ignite the escaping gas while
the work Of tubing was going on.
IL may not generally be known that in
drilling this wen crevice was struck at a
depth Of /, 200 feet which gave out guam
tity of gas, but this was soon exhausted.
The drill was then pushed down about ten
feet deeper but without developing any
thing. IL was then resolved to shoot the
we'll. ard three charges of nitro-glycerine.
aggregsting sixty quarts, were placed in the
well. extending upwards about % feet
from the bottom. Wien the goodwill was
dropped on this tbs explosion which fol-
lowed broke down the chambers which
confined the gas and let il into the creyice
and into the casing. whence IL escapes as
the most powerful gas well in the world.

Light supply.
NEW YORK, Nov. u.-Noihing could In
dicate the great strength of the wool markets
more plainly than the fact hat the sales ofthe
last few days have rese he'd q fair aggregate.
Notwithstanding the election excitement.
Prices are very firm, snd for some Leading
descriptions are higher than a week ago.
Dealers are exceedingly confident, and ia
many instances supplies are held on con-
signment beyond the reach Of buyers.
Stocks are comparatively small alike al
New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Ia
the trade the opinion prevails almost uni
versally that the current activity will con-
tInue during the next few weeks. There
is little TO complain Of in the volume OF
business at the important wooden mills OF
the country.
Business has reached satisfactory proper
tons at Boston this week, with the demand
covering the general range. Fleece woods
NAV be quoted 1c Ter pound higher than
the fret Of the month, and oelaine snd
combiug woods are also stronger. Large sr
rivals OF Fall Texas stock are reported. but
on the whole the amount of the stspls n
sight is comparatively small. Territory
supplies are selling moderately well, and
foreign wool OF al descriptions is trm.
