INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 21.-As more COM
plete story of the knights of Labor morn
ing session came out it appeared that there
had been much warmer time and more
opposition to Powderly than had appeared
on the floor of the general assembly at any
time since the convention was called to
order week ago. The opponents of the
administration seized the unexpected op-
portunity to make point denial of Barry's
charge of the improperly in dissolving
district assembly No. 70 of East Saginaw,
Mich, was made by ex-Secretary LIGHT
man on whom that charge reflected. Del
egate Crowell, who is clerk in the head
Office at Philadelphia, took the floor and
stated he had been ordered to demand the
charter OF said assembly, and that there
appeared to be but four local assemblies as
had been stated by Mr.. Lichtman, how
ever, upon investigation he discovered that
there We're actually seven, and he added,
=! called the attention of the head clerk,
MIR: Rowland, to this fact, but he gave it
no heed.''
Mr.. Lichtman asked, eff my head clerk
to me?"
Because replied Crowell, .clerks in
the general office are not permitted to ap-
prOach the general officers at all, and even
head clerks are not allowed to talk to the
genera! officers except at certain hours.o
This disclosure was followed by others
even more distasteful to Powderlys
friends, CrOwell being ready for every
question and answering it in a manner not
at al satisfactory to the Questioner He
finally moved the appointment of COM
mlttee OF three to proceed at once to Phila-
delphia to investigate the charges made.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session committee of
five was appointed to wait upon the fedora
ton of trades at their meeting at st. Louis
December 9Th to consider the proposals for
the amalgamation of the two orders. This
resolution brought on discussion
In which it was developed that
amalgamation was not desired. Mr.. Pow
derly argued in favor of cooperation.
Barry is still in the city and will COM
mence active operations on the stump
for his new order with lecture here
Saturday night and will follow it up with
an address in Cincinnati Sunday night He
said: "By the action of the general as
sembly in comforting upon the general
master workman the autOcratic power of
the czar, the goal of Mr.. Powderly's ambi-
tiOn has been reached. 1t remains to be
seen whether the people who hold mem
bership with the knights of Labor will
quietly submit to the action taken by the
misrepresentation"

WEsTCHEsTER, Pa, Nov. 2O-James
Mills, the colored assailant and would-be
murderer of BERTHE Howard, the 11-year.old
adopted daughter of Farmer Beck residing
near Paoli, was brought to Westchester
this afternoon and Immediately lodged in
prison. He was captured in bed last night
at Cranberry, N. j., by Officer Jeffreys of
this place. The hack in which he was con-
veyed to prison was surrounded by a hoot-
ing crowd. On Thursday evening, Sep.
tember 28th, BERTHE Howard was returning
from school when she was met by the col
ored brute Mills. He dragged her into a
field close by ana assaulted her. He then
dragged her to neighboring pond and
threw her in it. She dragged herself to the
bank and was again thrown back by Mills.
This was repeated the third time. The
girl then lay still in the water and the
assailant thinking she was dead left. He
went to his house where he had been living
with white woman, changed his clothes
and left. BERTHE managed to drag herself
from the water and to aneighboring house
where she was taken in an cared for. For
several days
IT WAS THOUGHT SHE WOULD DIE,
but she finally commenced to mend and is
now apparently healthy in body, though
she has never been the bright. happy child
she was before the assault. Mills acknOwl-
edged committing the assault but says he
was drunk at the time. He denies, how
ever, that he attempted to drown the girl.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. Ex-senator A. j.
Whitman Of Duluth arrived this morning
from New York where he has been since
the election. He believes that the coming
session of the legislature will be an i'm
portant one. One of the important matters
that will come before the session will be a
scheme to give the inmates of the peniten-
tiary needed work during their confine-
ment. He believes the capital removal
matter will come up in more virulent
shape than ever. He will offer amend
ments to the present Whiteman Election
law. He admits that the law was in a
crude state, but claims it was due for the
most part to amendments passed at the last
session which changed the law as originally
drafted. He will offer an amendment in
regard to the time Of opening and closing
the polls, making the hours from z until S
O'clock instead of from to Z as now. His
plan is to have at least three or four more
days for registration. He will seek to
amend sections Is and IL relating to sep
arate ballots and ballot boxes so that they
will apply to the entire state instead of to

will also urge an amendment that will de-

tickets together. Senator Whiteman be-
lieves that the senatorial contest will be
far more lively than the rannhlicans arc
now anticipating. Said he: sSabin is in

PowGerly Wins His Point.

INDIANAPOLIS, NOV. ~. - InaC Mr.
Powderly is the ruling mind in the gem
eral assembly has been evident for some
time, and it was more than ever apparent
at the morning session to-day. AS was
stated yesterday Mr.. Powderly had sig
nified his willingness to continue in office
under certain conditions. The report of
the committee on law was submitted and
was exactly in accordance with the condi.
tions expressed by Mr.. Powderly, the
''one-man-poWer'a advocated by him in his
annual address but in it recommendations.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session was taken up by
the committee on law with minor changes
of the constitution. Contrary to the rec
0mmendation of Powderly the time of
meeting is unchanged, which is the first
action taken against his will. The gen
eral master workman shall hereafter fill
all vacancies OH the board by ap-
pointment, this being q new power
added to the Office. The same COM
mittee reported the appeal of Powderly's
denunciation ofa the provincial commit
tee. By formal vote all decisions OF Cen
eral Master Workman P0wderly, since the
general assembly one year ago, were ap-
proved. AS the time of election draws near
delegates grow more interested ard hotel
lobbies are crowded with busy groups
DISCUSSING THE PROBABILITIES.
Predictions might be made but further
than that Powderly will be reelected would
be unreliable. T. B. Barry tonight issued
a formal open letter to the delegates. He
says: "Since you have refused to give me
an opportunity to defend myself, will
now publish a few of the charges made. I
can prove that 81 ,250 of Powderly's money
was paid Tom OReily on an order of T. v.
Powderly and John w. Hays when he was
not in the employ of, nor had rend cred any
service to the order to the knowledge of
the general officers. can prove that from
ten to fourteen persons who were not

evidence that the printer in the general
Office was given one day to make up his
mind to vote in the local assembly as the
administration required or to leave the
office. l can prove that no employer was
ever more cruel in victimizing or seeking
to victimize those who differed with them
in opinion than were the general Officers.''
Mr.. Barry proposed to agitate until the gen
eral assembly adjourned. He will then put
out his organizations and look after the
formation of his new order which will be
called the Brotherhood of United Labor

AMERICAN RAILWAYS
improvements for Locomotives Invented
by Yankee Engineers.

The key to the evolution OF the
American railway is the contempt for
authority displayed by our engineers,
and the untrammelcd way in which
they invented and applied whatever
they thought would answer the best
purpose, regardless of precedent. When
we began to build our railways, in
1881, we followed English patterns for
a short time. Our engineers soon saw
that unless vital changes We're made
our money would not hold out, and our
railway system would be very short.
Necessity truly became the mother OF
invention.
The first and most far-rcaching in
vention was that of the sWiveling truck,
which. placed under the front end Of
an engine, enables it to run around
curves of almost any radius. This en-
ablcd us to build much loss expensive
lines than those of England, for we
could now curve around and avoid hills
and other obstacles at will.
The next improvement vas the in
yention of the cqualizing beams or
levers, by which the weight Of the en-
gine is always borne by three out Of
four or more driving wheels. They
act like a three-legTcd stool, which
can always be set level on any Irregular
spot. The original imported English
locomotives could not be kept on the
rails of rough tracks. The same cX-
! perience obtained in Canada when the
Grand Trunk railway was opened,
in 1Sj4-55. The locomotive Of English
! pattern constantly ran off the
track; those Of American patterr
hardly ever did 50. Finally all THEN
locomotives were changed by having
swiveling trucks put under their fol.
ward ends, and no more trouble Oc-
Cured. The cqualizing levers were
first used by Rogers in lStt.
These two improvements. which are
absolutely essential to the success Ct
railroads in new countries, and have
been adopted in Canada, Australia,
Mexico and South America, to the eX,
clusion of English patterns, are also OF
great value on the smoothest and best
possible tracks. The feXibility Of the
American machine increases its ad'
hesion and enables it to draw greater
loads than its English rival. The
same texibility oqualizcs its pressure
on the track, prevents shocks anC
blows, and enables it to keep out O.
the hospital and run more miles in {
year than the English locomotive
Scribner's Magazine.
The Grenada gazette., 1888-07-05

Up to quite recent date we were
told that because of the quick-tiring
small arms there would be no use fol
cavalry, for that they could not hope
to get within striking distance. We
all remember to have read how the
French squares in the battle of the
Pyramids beat the famous Mameluke
cavalry, 10000 strong, under Mourat
Bey; and if muzzle-loaders could dc
this how could horses avail against
magazine guns? But supposing the
Mameluke cavalry to have had ma
chine guns like those the continental
cavalry are now being reinforced with,
perhaps then the result would have
been quite different, and forty centuries
would have looked down upon broken
squares and inriding horses and routed
infantry-the flying battery of machine
guns being brought into play before
the charge. From time to time ex'
celent military authorities have PCT
ured the potency of cavalry supported
by machine guns, declaring that in'
fantry, if not similarly armed, could
not oppose such force, the machine
gun having range of $500 yards
nearly three times that of the effective
nessleven of the improved rife. Unless
they occupied a fortified camp they
would have to run for it, which, with
horsemen in pursuit, would not better
their chances OF safety, but, on the
contrary, place them at the mercy ot
the troopers. - Chicago NeWs.

MY HON {.

Yesterday dwelt in a happy home,
Safe as a bird in sheltered nest;
] never wished from its walls TO roam,
For all the world loved 1t best.
And all the bright day, so sweet and long
sang like bird, untamed and free,
For bird had never merrier song
Than the one that then was sung by mo-
Now far from the land that gave me birth,
Homeless and friendless roam to-day.
Now here, now there, DER the changing earth,
sing life's song as best may.
But the song is not like the olden one,
II has lost the charm OF childish glee.
There's touch of sadness in every tone,
And it's always set TO minor key.
But know full well the morrow vii, some
And its evening shadows soon draw nigh
When ! again shall go to my home

And all the sweet bliss for which yearn
The glad tomorrow will surely bring,
And the happy song my soul shall learn

The number of women in this city
who earn their living by the needle, is
