4 Vow Combination.

JOLIET, H., Nov. l9.-The details of
the consolidating of all the baTbed
wire mills are about completed. The
new combine Will lie known as the
Federal Steel company" with an Illi-
nois charter and 4 capital of So, 000,-
900. The organizers claim that the
combine viii be good thing, both for
the public and themselves. They be-
lieve that their plan will keep the
price of wire down, and make aI IN
crease in the profits for themselves by
decreasing the cost of the production.
1t is said that the plan of organization
is not \ trust in the general meaning
of the term, but il is simply partner
ship among the differ ent barb wile
making concerns, something on the
plan or TIE illinois Steel company. The
plan they have ben working upon is to
buy up all the plants that are man
ufacturing plain wire, barb wire,
and wire nails liking the price at fair
cash value, and giving the oAneTs the
option of disposing of their property
for cash or stock ia the ne y or9aDiZa-
ton. AS regards the rod and billet
mills, where the company has been
u 1able To make purchase, it has made
arrangements TO buy the products on
contract OF certain price above the
cost of pig iron. BY this plan the COM
pany virtually has control of this in
dustry. also all of WashbuIn, MOen &
Co.'S license will doubtless come into
possession of the new organization.
The price of wire will go up after Jan
uary /, but this result is inevitable.
The only reason the present prices are
maintained is because the mills are
running upon the old product. bought
before the raise in the cost of the raw
material. Barb wire pointed is selling
now ut $40 in car loads but after
: the first of the year the price
will probably go up to $3.50.

An Important Witness in the
CrOnin Murder Trial.
Other Items of Interest From
Across the Water.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 20.-Yesterday
the convention of the knights of La
Dor went into the committee of the
whole to consider the eighG hour a day
movement. The committee on the
state Of the order made its report on
the question, and it was decided not
to endorse any general strike. The
matter has been generally discussed by
the different assemblies, and commu-
nications from all over the country
have been received regarding it. Mr..
Samuel Gomper, president of the Fed
Grafton of Labor. forwarded letter to
the convention in which he said his
men were opposed to a general strike.
but would undertake one unless the
manufacturers agreed to the reduction
or labor hours. The committee besides
its report, submitted the following
resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That we coincide with the
last expressed views of the president
of the American Federation of labor
expressing as they do the sentiments
of that organization that no general
strike" should be inaugurated upon
May 1st 1890, and that the movements
should be confined to such trades as
are in condition to put the plan in
operation on May l. 1890.
Resolved, That we call upon the
president of the American Federation
of labor to indicate the trade or trades
organized within the folds of that So
ciety, which is prepared to success
fully inaugurate the eight hour move
ment on May /. 1890, confident that
the knights of Labor will lend their
moral support to the movement in
favor of such trade or trades.
Nothing of any Importance was done
during the afternoon session. The
convention will probably adjourn final
ly next Thursday.

An ATTEMPT to Rob IA Train.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 29.-An
attempt was made near Marietta. In
diana, about midnight to rob the Kan
sas City mail and express. Two
masked men were discovered concealed
in the thick brush near the Santa Fe
track about 8 p. m. and the fact was
telegraphed to this city and also to the
conductor of the south bound express
train. Officers went from here on a
special train TO where the masked men
were seen, but failed to find them.
The south bound train arrived with
twenty armed men aboard, who made
search for the supposed robbers but
failed to discover them. This makes
The second attempt to rob the Kansas
City train at the same point in the last
two weeks. Buck. the notorious train
rObber, is known to have been in that
vicinity and the supposed robbers are

Prohibition in Iowa.

The result in Iowa is "a genuine sur
prise t. the politicians of both parties
who are acquainted with the forces at
work III that state. Iowa has long
worn the honors of the banner repuD-
lican state, and in sentiment does not
repudiate that proud diStinctil -. To
the prohibition fallacy alone do tie &c
publicans owe their Waterloo. Intry-
ing to absorb the prohibition element
of that state the republican party was
absorbed by it. ProhibitiOnists as
sumed the political leadership, and
men of the most radical views on that
question could alone he elect ed to Office
in that state. Old time leaders like
Samuel j. Kirkwood, the famous war
governor. were relegated to the rear
because they would not subscribe to
the reigning fanaticis,n. The business
interests of the state were seriously
crippled by the extremes of legislation
to which the prohibitionists went in
their effort to control the personal hab-
its OF the private citizens. Business
men of all parties rebelled against the
tyranny of political pulpits. In this
crisis of public sentiment the demo-
Gratis shrewdly nominated for governor
the Hon. Horace Boies, who had been
lifelong republican until the-pTOhi-
bition idea had apparently become the
settled policy of his party, when he
aligned himself with the democracy
His personal following in both parties
was large and his nomination drew
the line sharply on the prohibition
question. Party lines were largely
| ignored and the issue was a contest
| between license and prohibition.
Prominent republicans had tired of
subscribing to prohibition as the test
of party fealty. The result cannot be
construed as a democratic victory so
far as any change of political senti-
/ ment is concerned. The state is as
suredly republican by safe majority
when any question of national import
| ance is at issue.-Helena Mont. \

ton the name of Hon. Geo. w. Nc

of Judge McCrary have reason to be-
lieye that he would be better satisfied
with position back on the bench. To
that end they are urging his appoint

dence is now in Missouri, although he
lived in Iowa until he became connect

Murdered for Money

MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 19.-About half
past 2 O'Clock this morning well-to-do
and highly respected farmer and stock
dealer, named r. o. Collins, WAS
murdered in bed, while sleeping by
the side of his wife, at his home about
one mile southeast of Rush Hill. this
county. The murdered man was shot
through the head with No. 80 pistol
ball, and :he weapon is supposed to
have been taken from the pocket of
one of his sons, who was sleeping in a
front room up stairs. 1t is also sup
posed the murder was committed for
the purpose of robbery, but this theory
may not be the right one. A watch
and S43 were taken from Collins
clothes which were lying near the bed.
The family all retired before 10 O'Clock.
Mrs. Collins was sleeping on the front
of the bed, and the murderer had to
lean over her to fire the shot. The
pistol was close to Collins head, as
the bullet hole and powder burned
head and hair indicate. About 2:3O.
MIS-. Collins says she was awakened
as though door had been
slammed very hard or a shot been fired
On arising she found her husband
dead the bullet having passed through
his head and into the pillow. She SAID
she heard some one running through
the house. She alarmed the house-
hold. The upstairs portion of the
dwelling bore evidences of having been
ransacked, and the pistol which did
the killing was taken from the cloth
ing of one of the sons. Mrs. Collins
saw a suspicious looking character
lurking around the premises during the
day but did not pay much heed to him
Collins was 90 years of age and leaves
large family. The bullet entered
near the right ear and came ont on the
opposite side of the head. He never
knew what hurt him, SO sudden was
death Some two years ago Collins
was knocked down in his harm and
nearly killed. but for some reason moth
ing much was said about the affair. A
reporter for the Globe Democrat visit
ed Rush hill this afternoon and found
the people there intensely excited over
the murder and there are as many
theories advanced as there are resi-
dents in the town. The sheriff and other
officials are buisily engaged in the en-
deavor to find some trace of the MIR
derer. but there is absolutely no clew
on which to work yet developed,

DENVER, Col, Nov. 16.-After an
almost unprecedented struggle of two
weeks with snow and wind, the Den
yer s. Fort Worth road is once mora
open for busi e. 8. The company sac
ceeded in releasing the imprisoned
travellers and freight the first of the
week, only to have the line closed again
in a few hours. 1t is believed now
that the backbone of the terrible storm
is broken and traffic will be uninter-
rupted.
Stories from the blizzard-stricken
section continue to arrive. In the Mora
valley, New Mexico, for the past ten
days, the snow has been from three to
four feet deep. This section is thinly
settled, but the Mexican families are
in a destitute condition, and owing to
the heavy snow are unable to move
from their plaZas.
A ranchman living near CorOsa
Springs, Colorado, left three young
children in his cabin one day last week
and started with another man for town
after food. They have never been
seen since.
Three cowboys from Las Vegas have
been missing several days, and they
have no doubt persisted. 1t is now
thought that when the 'snow melts
away the remains of nearly one hun
| dred victims will be exposed.

A Strange Accident.


a country editor tells the following
story OF a dire misfortune that befell
him lately:
I'VE were the victim yesterday of
one Of the most distressing accidents
ever known in Miffiin Centre" he
writes in the course of an editorial on
the the subject in THE Blade" for
November 8. Yesterday morning, :"
the article continues, ''our wife took
occasion to do the family washing,
having been kept from it earlier in the
week by being very busy putting up
our winter supply of apple butter.
Among other articles of wearing ap-
parel which she included in thu wash
was our white vest, rightly thinking
that the white vest days were about
over, and intending to do it up and
lay it away against the return of the
next picnic season. Now, unbeknOWn
to her, in the lower right hand pocket
of this vest there was a large roll of
bills. twelve ones and two-SI4 in all.
She did not discover the roll, and after
having washed the garment thorough
ly, She hung it on the line in the back
yard to dry. All might yet have been
well had it not been for Mr.. FerdeD-
baugh's large brindle cow, which is
well known to most of our citizens.
When our wife was in the parlor visit
ing a moment with Mrs. Parmley. who
called to see how to make her grape
preserves jell, this beast-she deserves
no better name-broke through our
back gate and deliberately ate up our
vest, money and ali! When our wife
reached the scene of trouble the
beast was lust swallowing the last
bill, with evident relish. Our wife
seized the mop and rushed at the mar
auding intruder, but she only tossed
her head. kicked sideways with both
kind feet, and, leaping lightly over the
fence, trotted off, switching her tail
defiantly. Neither the vest nor tie
money, we are sorry to say, seemed to
have any bad effect on her scoundTelly
good health. Our wife Immediately
informed us of the accident, and we
instantly called on Mr.. Ferdenbaugh
and demanded that the animal be
slaughtered, doubling not that we
should find our money in the first of
that suite of stomachs with which we
learn from physiology the COW is pro-
Vided This Mr.. FeTdenbaugh refused
to assent to. He pleaded that he was
| poor man, and, as he had recently
bought the cow, that all of his ready
money was in her. We naturally re-
piled that all of our ready money was
in her too, but it failed to move him
1t was a sad affair, take it all around,
but one about which nothing can be
done. Our Wife'S excuse for not look
ing in the pockets before she began
her laundry operations is that she had
gone through our pockets for money
for twenty wears and never found any,
and had therefore become d scouraged.

Novel Missionary Move

LONDON, Nov. 19.-An evaDgeiistic
movement of a very unusual character
is attracting some attention in London
just now. Efforts have repeatedly
been made TO increase Christian influ-
ence in the East end and innumerable
societies have been formed with that
object in view.
The present movement, however,
seeks its field of labor at the other
and fashionable end of London. In
other woI DIS, society of good people
has been formed, the avOwed purpose
of which is to seek the conversion of
the people of the West end. The plan
adopted in the furtherance of this pur-
pose, by the members or agents of the
society is to make personal visits upon
people in the West end and seek by
direct intercourse to interest them in
religion. 1t is asserted that all the
houses in fashionable London. not ex-
eepting Marlborough house, the resi-
dence of the Prince of Wales, will be
visited in this WaV.
