knights of Labor Charged with Crimes in Con-
nection with the Missouri Pacific Strike.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-It will be erecollected
that during the great strike on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad system, in the spring
of 1886. a freight train was wrecked near
Wyandotte, Kan. and two of it's crew
killed, and that a number of Knights of
Labor strikers were arrested, charged with
the act. One of the arrested men, George
Hamilton, was tried and acquitted. and the
other cases were nollied. Subsequently
Mike Leary and Robert Geers. two of the
arrested Knights, brought suit against the
Missouri Pacific company for damages for
malicious prosecution. and yesterday
dispositions were taken here in this
case by B. p. Waggoner. of Atchison. Kan.,
attorney for the Missouri Pacific. These
dispositions are given by Knights of Labor
said to be more or less dissatisfied with the
order, and it is alleged that they show that
the order took the Wyandotte train wreck
ers directly under its protection and spent
some SoO.OOO OF It's general fund In their de-
Tense; also, that in a spirit of revenge over
the failure of the strike, the Missouri car
works ut st. Charles, Mo-. and the Vandalla
freight depot In East st. Louis, were de-
stroyed by ire, and that plan was devised
to blow up the bridge here by floating a
dynamite-laden barge against it, but this
was not carried out.
The names of the actors in these events
were given. and it was stated that men
much higher in the ranks of knights
knew much about these things. In view of
these statements it is said that Master
Workman Powderly and Secretary Hayes
when they arrive here next week, will be
put through the affidavit mill, and that
other members of the executive board will
be compelled to tell what they know. The
testimony of other local knights will also
be taken. Two or three local Dor leaders.
when seen in regart to the disclosures made
in these affidavits said that the Knights of
Labor court the fullest investigation. and
that the act of the railroad company is q
bold case of bluff intended to frighten
other defendants from suing the road and
also TO scare Powderly from coming here to
investigate various things IN connection
with the Endorsement of Thomas Furlong.

FLIGHT OF AN EMBEzzLER.
Secretary Of the Polish Alliance and Other
Organizations Runs Away with $4,000.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Ignatz n. Morgen-
stein. until last week general secretary of
the Polish National Alliance of North
America, has left the city and taken with
him all the funds of the order. Morgen-
stein was also secretary of the Polish Ma
tional Building and Loan Association, and
the financial manager IF the Segoda, an in
fluential Polish weekly paper. and acted as
an agent for real estate owners and as
passage and transportation agent. 1t is
believed that he has embezzled from the
building association, the newspaper and
the real estate owners and passage agents.
The amount OF money he has taken away
with HIM is variousIy estimated Some say
he has stolen S12, 900.
The Polish National Alliance of North
America Is a confederation of all the Polish
political and benevolent societies on this
continent. Nearly fifty societies are included
in the alliance, and represented In the con-
ventiOn. MOrganstein has been the general
secretary for several years. The annual con,
vention convened last week in Buffalo. and
MOrganstein was candidate for a third
term as secretary. There was a vigorous
opposition, and several responsible Poles
openly charged that Morganstein was
swindler and had collected money for en-
d0wments on deaths that had not occurred.
against the charges. On Friday, the last
day of the convention, he answered by pro-
ducing vouchers for every dollar he had
paid. 1t is now supposed that these papers
were forged. When the matter was brought
to vote Morgenstein was defeated and Con-
stantine Mallek was chosen general secre-
tary.
The ex-secretary returned to Chicago
that night, and next day went to L. 5.

supposed he took whatever funds he held
for the building association. Tuesday
morning he was seen ON the way to the de-
pot with his wife. A person who met him
asked him where he was going. and Nor
ganstein aswered that he was not going
away himself, but was escOrting Mrs Nor
ganstein to the Wisconsin Central depot.
Wednesday the newly-elected secretary
called to take charge of the alliance
books and discovered that his predecessor
had flown. He communicated with his
brother officers, and it was determined to
keep the matter secret This afternoon,
however. Joseph Osuch. former president
of the alliance, took out warrant for
Morgenstein's arrest. Two Polish saloon
keepers are on Morgenstein's bond. Alder
man Kowalski may, however, be the one to
suffer, since he is the treasurer of the alll-
ance, and he had authorized Morgenstein
to draw out the money. in Dreyer 81 Co.'s
bank as it might be needed.

there were bare floors and an absence of

Building has three business floors, besides
basement. 1t is the length of two ordi-

city, or about 700 feet, by the length of one
block in width. Through its center on
every floor, is broad corridor, and on
every hand are cOmmittee-rOOns. To clean,
repaint, revarnish and refurnsh a building
of these dimensions requires some work
and some money. Hundreds of men

of old carpets were taken up and carted

The Old Seward House, as 1t Has Been Fitted

Epecial To the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON. Sept H.-Secretary Blaine
is spurring the workmen engaged in fitting
up his house on Lafayette square with a
view to take possession by Oct. 1. 1t is his
idea and that of Mrs. Blaine to have Mr..
and Mrs. Emmons Blaine as guests after
the honeymoon and prior, to the young
couple going to Baltimore, where Mr.. Blaine
is engaged in business pursuits. The old
Seward house, where the Blaines will en-
tertain this winter, is a typical New England
mansion, the effect being heightened by the
coat of red paint with which the house has
been recently touched up, while the in

on the New York Central Railroad.
PALATINE BRIDGE. n. Y. Sept 2s-a AN.
The st. Louis express. No. 5. which left
Albany at 10 O'Clock last night, met with a
bad accident about two miles east of here
about midnight. The first section broke
down and stopped for repairs. The
rear brakeman was sent back to sig
nal the second section. but. for some
unknown reason, failed to perform his
duty The engineer of the second section
says he did not sec him and the first thing
he saw was the lights of the first section
directly in his front. The first section was
made up of the baggage. mail, express and
three passenger cars, packed with people
and Wagner sleeper on the end. The crash
was terrific. The second section telescoped
into the first section, knocking out the
lights and plunging everything into dark
ness. Up to this hour four bodies have
been taken out of the sleeper, and it is
feared the total number of deaths will run
up to twenty-five, and possibly more, as
the car was full. 1t is difficult to get par
ticulars at this hour.
An Albany dispatch says: The first sec
tion of the train is usually made up of two
ordinary coaches, two pailor cars and
three baggage-cars, while the second Sec
ton seldom goes out with less than seven
sleepers. A dining-car serves dinner on
the section to Albany, where it is
dropped. This train travels over the Mich
igan Southern via Niagara Falls. 1t is a
favorite with travellers on the Central, and
the second section is entirely of vestibule
cars. The schedule of running was forty
miles an hour. 1t Is said that three
sleeping cars are in shapeless mass.
Many lives have been lost. There were
fully three hundred people on board the
two trains. Relief trains. with physi-
clans on board, were summoned from this
place and Utica.
Engineer Worth, of the second section,
was SO badly injured that he is not expect
ed to survive the night. He resides in
Albany.
$50 A. Mt is now reported that be-
tween forty and fifty persons were killed.
The first section was completely telescoped.
The excitement is SC iitense that it is hard
to get reliable reports.
