Saturdays Proceedings.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 17.-It has
been rumored that Mr.. Powderly has posi-
lively declined to accept the Office of general
master workman for another term, and that
he has accepted tempting offer from New
York newspaper to do journalistic work. He
was asked about the report but refused to
either affirm or deny.
Today it was announced that $1,000 had
been received by the treasurer since Novem-
Der l, and of the amount, 1855 was from new
charters, showing over 20 new assemblies
within about two weeks. Representatives
OF the glass men, ID. A. 80 announced that,
in case of need, they had 100000, from
which the general executive board could
draw as much as needed. ID. A. 4S of Gin
ciilnati, offered $4,000 as gift, and others
volunteered various sums, making the aggre-
gate $15000O. Nearly every delegate tried
to make some offer, and by so doing prove
the falsity OF certain newspaper stories re-
garding the bankrupt condition of the order.
The subscriptions were an endorsement of
the Powderly administration and the scene
when 1t was done was an exhibition of the
General Master Workman's ability to take
prompt advantage of the first chance to test
the fidelity Of the delegation to him when it
appeared that more than was in the treasury

Mr.. Powderly took advantage of the OPEN
ing, thus made and called on those who want
ed help to stand up. A majority Of the dele
gates arose and quickly announced the
money they would give. This is practical

A goodly number Of people gathered at
the Knightville meeting house Wednesday
evening, to hear Mr.. E. C. Reynolds discourse
on "Goliath of Gath" The audience waited
patiently till quite late In the evening. dur

MR.. RANDALL's HEALTH.
His Physician Speaks EncouragIngIy
of His Patients Condition.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.-COngressman
Samuel j. Randall has so far recovered his
health that he hopes to be able to resume his
seat in the House of Representatives soon
after the opening of the session next month.
He remains at Castanea,nea Wayne station,
on the main line of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, where he has rested since he left WASH
ington last spring. he looked remarkably
well this afternoon, considering the hard
siege he has passed thorough, and was in ex-
cellent spirits. He begins to look as he did
before he was taken sick, and his physician,
DR.. Robert w. Martin, expressed the be-
lief that his patient is in no danger of a
relapse.
Mr. Randalls tall form did not fill out the
suit of black which he always wears as it
formerly did. The thick head of black hair
is more intermixed with gray than 1t was
six months ago. The long fingers are thin
and very white, but the eyes are clear, bright
and certain, while the lips which surmount
the square jaw have the same expression as
of old. 1t was with a hearty grip of the
hand that Mr.. Randall greeted several visi-
tors, including Col Fred Gerker, Collector of
Internal Revenue, and Mr.. Martin, who had
called for brief stay Col. Gerker had not
seen Mr.. Randall for nine weeks, and their
meeting was one of genuine friendship. The
Collector had been to his Office for the first
time in two months, in the morning, having,
been, as the doctor put it, 'as near deaths
door as a man could be and live" and then
had taken the train for Castanea. The lit
tie party chatted about men and things in
general, and had little to say about politics.
One of the party suggested that Mr.. Randall
had taken big risk in coming to the city to
vote, but DR.. Martin thought not. "There
could not have been any serious results from
the trip, although there might have been a
setback. As there was not, we are all
satisfied. Mr.. Randall was very anxious to
vote, and as he had taken drive of IA miles
few days before, we thought him strong
enough to go to town."
Il did not want to lose my VOTE" re-
marked Mr.. Randall 81 have always made
1T point to vote at every election and did
not miss it this time"
In the course of conversation there was
something said about the probable course of
the Democratic Party in the future, but Mr..
Randall had nothing to offer upon the SUBJ
ject and it is understood that he does not
discuss the subject. He asked a few
questions about the local ticket in Phila-
delphia, but otherwise refrained from talk
ing politics. Mr.. Randall, his friends say,
has been visited by large numbers of old
time political comrades during the past few
weeks and he is in communication with
many others who have not called upon him.
He is taking an active interest in the occur
rences of the times, and daily reads the great
newspapers of the country.

SWEPT BY GIANT SEAS.
Steamer Etruria Loses a Seaman
During Stormy Passage.

New YORK, Nov. 1S.-The Cunarder
Etruria, which arrived this afternoon. ex-
perienced one Of the worst passages in her
history. Tuesday last tidal wave swept
over the big steamer and killed George Wor-
nald, seaman. Her record also includes
five more or less severely injured. The pas
sengers were terribly shaken up and thanked
their stars when they put feet on solid
ground again, after almost seven days of
terror and suspense. Fierce gales and
mighty seas met the vessel which, neverthe-
less, made good time, being little over sew
en- days on the passage.
Tuesday afternoon larger wave than any
ever encountered before was seen appro ach-
ing. The seamen uttered cries of warning
and attempted to seek places of safety, but
when the mountain of water fell with a
crash upon the vessel the men were swept in
a heap against one of the deck houses. When
the water receded 1t was found that George
Wornald, able seaman of Liverpool, was ia
tally crushed and bruised. He died soon af-
terward. Seamen Murphy and M0ette and
two others, and steerage passenger named
Gait, were cut and bruised and lamed.

very interesting and instructive sermon from

o. LORD God, Thou knowest." To illustrate
and make more potent the teaching of the

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-After 73 weeks i'm

Donald walked out of the criminal court
last evening free man under $1,000 bonds.
The formality of bond and the distant
prospect of another trial seemed trifie S
to him. One of the attorneys for the
"Boodlers' said: ''McGarigle can now
come back to Chicago and shake hands with
Sheriff Matson, spend 10 days in Jail and
walk out free man. McGarigle got away
while his motion for new trial was pending.
While he has been away, Mcdonald has
taken up the case at his own expense and
decided it in McGargle's favor. 1t is huge
joke. 1t means an absolute discharge of
both men,"
