The Secretary of the Tennessee stato
 Wheel DefauIter.
 ". T. Davis, secretary of the Tonnes see State Wheel, is, according to state ments of this secret order of agricultur- ists, q defaulter for large amount. It has been ascertained that whom the State Wheel met in the State House to consider the question of consolidating with the State Alliance, Mir. Davis W as absent and it was necessary to elect a secretary pro tenn. A bombshell was then explod ed. A lester from Davis acknowledging that he was short in his accounts, and saying that his body would he found in the bottom of the Cumberland river, was read. This startling information gave the assembled farmers something to con- sider besides the proposed cons solidation. They discussed the matter and came to the conclusion that there was no doubt about the defalcation, but they disored- itea the statement that the defaulter in- tended suicide. Officers of the organiza- ton kept the matter quiet, but it leaked out, and the officers at last consented to give the facts 10 the press. According to the information thus obtained, the de- faulting secretary has lived at Gleason Station, Weakly County. He is almost thirty three years old, and has wife and three children. He was a farmer, afterward becoming a teacher, and last January he was elected county superin- tendent by the County Court over strong opposition. He has been considered an upright man, and has been highly es- teemed in his community. He has been elected secretary of the State Wheel three tines and has just completed his third yearly term. He came to Nashville and wrote letter to A. E. Gardner and E. A.Gowan, acknowledging his shortage. Mir. Gardner is secretary of the National Wheel and treasurer of the State execu- tive committed. Mir. GOwan is State pur- chasing agent for the Wheel and Ali ance. The letter, in addition to 1nention- ing the writer's shortage and his intention to commit suicide by drowning in tbe Cumberland river, said that he was tired of life and that he could not bear the disgrace and face his friends. Flo re- ferred in affectionate terms to his fam fly. He did not explain how he had spent the money. The amount of the shortage is not known, but it is stated that it is fully covered by Dayis' official bond for s 900, and that the order is perfectly solvent and has sufficient money to pay all its obligations. The suicide statement finds few believers. It is thought that Davis left the city, and detectives are fol- lowing clews which they think may lead to his capture. lf...

At Bedding mines, six miles from Birmingham, Ala, Ed Duncan shot and killed Ed Cooper. The men quarreled about some trivial matter, and Duncan picked up shotgun and fired a Cooper who was only a few feet away. The entire load of shot passed through Cooper's body, killing him instantly. Duncan escaped. Both were miners.

"swEATlNo SHOPS"


 What Committee of the Boston Tailors. Union Found in an investigation of the
 'Sweating shops" in New York where Ready-Made Clothing is Manufactured
 for the Wholesale Trade.
 NEW YonK, July 27.--A committee sent here by the Tailors' Union of Boston has been Investigating the condition of the sweating" shops where ready made clothing is manufactured on the east sido of this city. From time to time these places have, been described in the col umns of the daily press, whose readers are tolerably familiar with the character of tenement houses, but the Boston msa were startled by what they saw and heard. When the Boston tailors struck six months ago, their employers toid them that competition with the sweat CTS" of this city was impossible. This story could hardly be believed. Hence the committed. Yesterday the delegates visited some houses in Hester and adjacent streets, and every place was simply repetition of the others. No. T5 Hester street which is six-story double tenement, was found occupied by contractors, or ''sweaters,v on every floor. Hsr8 were being made mems and boys clothing. trousers, vests and coats. Every room was occupied by scantily dressed men and women, boys and girls. The princi- pal work-rooms were 7x6 feet, and all contained red-hot stoves, on which the food of the "bosseso and their families were prepared aud the irons of the press CTS were heated. In these rooms were crowded eight to ten men and women. No word or series of words can be found to express the amount of dirt or the qual- fly of the atmosphere. Both were awful and overpowering to an ordinarily clean person. Here the slaves of the sweatersn worked from daylight to ten and twelve o'clock at night, many of the men rarely going home, but throwing themselves down on the heaps of clothing and rags. Most of the men worked on the 'taskn system, and all the hours given them were required to keep up with their ''stent." "Greenhorns" are frequently brought in and start as low as eighty cents a week. Nor are the sweaters" themselves so much to blame. They work as hard. or harder than many of the others, getting up at two o'clock in the morning to prepare the work for the day. and their earnings are comparatively in- significant. The stories heard by the Boston delegates had a sameness about them that enforced the truth. The com- mittee said they would begin crusade against the New York ready made cloth Ing when they returned to Boston.

One for the Tramps.

An order has been issued by the
Southern Pacific forbidding engineers,
on pain of dismissal, to allow tramps to
ride on the engines Of the company.
Hitherto it has been customary on
mountain divisions to allow tramps to
work their passage over by assisting the
fireman, this being notably the case in
the snowsheds on the Sierras. In fact,
it was always understood that it was
good policy to convey the wanderers
across in this manner, inasmuch as they
might, by smoking or lighting fires, set
fire to the snowsheds and destroy much
valuable property. General Snperin'
tendent Fillmore takes different view
of the matter nowadays, however, and
the prohibiting edict goes into effect at
once.

UNEMPLOYED LABOR.
Festerday's meetiog Ina Front of
the Courthouse.

Festerday,s meetiog Ina Front o.
the Courthouse.
About thousand laboring people as
sembled on Market street, in front of th'
Courthouse, yesterday afternoon at
O'Clock, in response to circular callinl
the same in the interest of the unem
ployed labor in this city. The meetin,
was called to order by Mr.. B. Fehneman
who said that since he had opened thu
Free Labor Exchange he had becom,
convinced that some movement ought tt
be set on foot to make employment fo
those who are now out of work. Their
were 800 names of men and 800 o1
women on his books, all anxious to OBJ
tain positions whereby they might Obtain
4 living. The public meeting had beer
called for the purpose of showing the
capitalists that something must be done
some improvement started, so that al
could find employment.
Mr.. W. A. Cole was called upon to
speak. He said that he had attended
the meeting to investigate it., character
and knew nothing of the motives which
had prom pied it's calling. If its purpose
was as stated it was good. He spoke Of
the "eight.hour" movement, and of the
expected result on May LIST, 1890. He
said that mass meeting would be
called for February 22nd at a place
to be named hereafter, and he hoped that
every one would be present. The move.
ment was for the benefit Of the working
men, and, if successful, would place
them in a much better condition.
Mr.. w. Schofeld was also called upon
to address the meeting. He said that
any movement which tended to give
work to the unemployed was good. He
had walked around the streets and had
seen many men who were in need of en-
ployment, and they were all as willing
to work as he, and he had walked the
streets for long time before he could
find anything to do. He advised that
the meetings be held frequently until
the desired end had been accomplished.
When all the working men were at work
the city will experience another
boom, and it seemed to him that the
means for producing the desired result
should be furnished by the wealthy men
of the city and the City Council.
Mr.. Fehneman said that he intended
to allow those applying for positions to
draw lots for them. By this means every
one would be treated fairly. He also an
nounced that to-day committee would
be sent around the city to induce those
who employ Chinese to discharge them
and employ white people instead. At
the meeting on next Sunday he would
have list of those who had agreed to
this, and list of those W o refused.
Mr.. Jessie Butler said that he thought
the best means of providing for the un-
employed was to go about it quietly and
determinedly. He advised all present
to join the labor organizations and to
show that they had rights which must
be respected.
1t was announced that a meeting
would be held at the same place next
Wednesday evening and next Sunday
afternoon. 1t was also stated that there
would be no political speeches allowed
at any of the gatherings. The assem-
blage, which had been most orderly,
then adjourned.

the large number of people who desired

ANOTHER GOBBLE.
Pullman Secures the Union Pacific
Business.

Pullman Secures she Union Pacific
Business.
The fat has gone forth and, with the
exception Of what parties Messrs. Ray
mond & Whitcomb and similar agencies
may bring to the Coast, there will be no
more excursions to California, that is to
say the second-class excursion business
is, or will be very soon, practically abol'
ished. The HERALD was the first paper
to announce the revolution in the tourist
traffic by which Messrs. Pullman OBJ.
tanned control of the second.clas travel
on the Santa Fe, and it is now able to
give to the public the latest details in
the matter, including the fact
that Pullman has also secured
the Union Pacific business. This
shows that, as was predicted in
these columns, Pullman intends to corral
all the western lines, and the next an
nouncement that may be expected is that
Denison, the Southrrn Pacific's tourist
contractor, has gone out of the business.
Yesterday an announcement was made
of what the second-class charges are to
be under the new arrangement, the
Pullmans stating that there will be So
fee for the accommodations to Kansas
City, and $4 to Chicago. For this each
passenger will receive sleeping berth,
equipped with sheets, mattI esses, pill
lows, curtains, etc., all in charge of a
porter, who will be with each car. The
Pullman conductor on the train will have
the handling of both the first and Sec
ond-class tickets, and will exercise gen.
eral supervision. Under the new ar
rangement the first car over the Santa Fe
left Kansas City on Thursday night
and will arrive here on the 1lth
inst, when it will turn right
around, and the system will 60 in opera
tion from this city, as one Car will arrive
and one leave each day, more coaches
being added as the demands of travel
require. The canvassing in the East for
California business will all be done by
the agents of the railroad companies, the
only part that Pullman will take in the
matter being tosupply the cars according
to r-quisition.
Messrs Phillips & Go. announce, how
ever, that in spite of the new deals, they
will remain in the excursion business,
and will announce their plan of action in
a few days.

LATEST FROM HAYTl.

Another ''Torrible Struggle" Reported to
Have Occurred Near Port Au- Prince, in
which One Man was slaughtered Alter
Terrific Fighting, Several Others Bein z
Badly bruised.
New YORK, July 26.-The steamship
Frederick Hendrick. which arrived yes
terday from Port-au-Prlnce, brought
word of still another terrible struggle
near the Haytien capital. One man was
slaughtered during the conflict and sew
eral others received severe bruises. The
battle was brought about under the follow
ing circumstances: On July IS, the day be-
fore the Frederick Hendrick sailed, Hippo
lyte's forces, laboring under the impress
sion that the small fortress at La Coupe
had been evacuated by Legitime, marched
forward boldly and took it by storm. 1t
is an advantageous position for either
side, being bat two miles distance from
Port-au Prince and in commanding
spot. The forces of Legitime had not
evacuated it, and were aroused to action
by the sudden and unprecedented attac k
of the troops under Hippolyte's General.
Before the latter had time to apologize
for entering the fort in so uncere-
mOnious a manner Legitine's troops had
poured into the ranks of Hippolyte de-
structive volley. Actual fighting resulted
at once, and as has been said, one hero
paid the penalty of his intrepidity. The
forces of Hippolyte then succeeded in
Withdrawing from the false attitude in
which they had been placed and another
victory was scored for the arms of Le-
gitine.
Legitime has just floated 1 1,000,0OC
'gourdes"-a gourde is equal to about
