To tho Public-Hu Gives tho Reason Why
Knights Were Discharged.
NEw YoRK, August 2l.-To.day Mr..
Powderly has been preparing the follow.
ing, which he makes public tonight:
For some time the management OF the
New York Central and Hudson river
railroad have been discharging EN-.
ployes who have been active
in labor affairs. It happens that all
those who have been dismissed are
members OF the order OF the X. of L.,
and have at one time or another been
officers Of tho order and have served on
committees which waited on the
officials with view to presenting
grievances. These discharges became 60
frequent that the Executive Board OF
District Assembly No. 246 found it
necessary to call q meeting in New York
to consider the situation,
Mr.. Powderly then recites the results
OF the interviews Of Messrs. Holland
and Devlin with the Central officials.
the details cf which have been published.
Mr.. Powderly then declares that the
reason the knights were discharged was
that they were active in using their in
iiuence for the passage Of the weekly pay
bill.
He then appeals to all organized labor
to come to the aid OF The knights.
Concluding he remarks that under
the circumstances a surrender at this
time would be unmanly.

RAUM INVESTIGATION,

Cooper Leaves the Room In HufI-The
Commissioner's Position Sustained,
WASHINGTON, August 2l.-rhe Raum
investigation was resumed this morning.
Mr.. Cooper, who made the charges,
made brief explanation OF bis position,
after which Mr.. Raum took the stand.
The witness denied that any employe Of
the Pension Office save himself ever
owned any stock in the Refrigerator
Company, and consequently the charge
that employees had been promoted be.
cause Of such ownership was false.
Mr. Cooper then demanded to see the
books Of the company, but Mr.. Raum
refused to produce them. He was vii.
ling that the members OF the committee
should inspect the stock book OF the
company, but not that it should 20 into
the records. Mr.. Raum said that Mr.,
Cooper gave to the press everything he
got hold Of, and had made public docu.
ments entrusted to him for the iuspec.
ton of the Committee on Rules.
Mr.. Cooper insisted on seeing the
books himself, and upon the committee
refusing him this privilege, gathered up
bis books and papers and left the room.
The committee then resumed the inyes.
tiyation on its own hook.
Commissioner Raum said that he ha;
borrowed $4,000 upon the endorsement
OF George L. Leman, and renewed the
notes from time to time. The note was
held by the National Bank of the Re.
public, and Mr.. Leman held witness
collateral for twice that amount, The
Refrigerator Company WIS Organized
last January and was composed Of men
OF high standing. He never gave prior.
ity to any claims for Leman or any other
attorney. Attorneys had never secured
priority at all, members OF Congress
sometimes did.

| WILEYsvlLLE, WErzEL COUNTY, VIVA,
August 2l.-This day will always be re.
membered by the citizens Of Wileysville.
The Democratic County Executive Com.
mittee met here this morning to can
vasa the returns Of the primary. AZ
early as t2 o'clock last night leaders
and henchmen Of the different candi.
dates began to make their appearance.
The anti.ring men were the frat at the
seat OF war, but they did not have long
to wait. Tho County Executive Com.
mittee organized with Jesse L. Newman
as chairman. After n few sharp shots
between the two factions the committee
got down to work. 1t was impossible to
tel! who they had for their secretary,
Snodgrass was the chief conteetant. He
produced ll5 atlidavits from good, re.
sponslble voters, each and ali OF them
swearing that they had voted ior him.
). y. Bartlett, the defeated candidate Tor
Circuit Clerk, produced the atlidavits OF
sixty.two citizens Of Clay district. Re.
member, that according to the face OF
the returns, Snodgrass only received IS
votes in Church district, and Bartlett
received but "a votes in Clay district.
After the evidence on behalf OF each
Of the contestants had been laid before
the committee, and the committee had
given the same due consideration they
announced that the committee stood six
for ordering new election in Church
and Clay districts, and that the other
seven members Of the committee were
in favor OF declaring those who received
the mostvotes on the face OF the returns,
as the regular nominees, and 1t was so
declared.
The committee declared by a vote Of
six to seven that the following ticket
was nominated:
For House OF Delegates-Hoa. Aaron
Morgan.
For County Clerk-Jno. Eamshaw.
For Circuit Clerk. ". Newman.
For Commissioner-W. B. Allen.
At this point the Snodgrass, Piles and
Bartlett men could no longer hold their
tongues.
Suodsrass told the chairman Of the
committee and Jackson Boyles, Judge
of the election ut Big Run voting pre-
cinct in Grant district, that they were
peIiured villains.
snodgrass's friends are urging him to
come out as an independent candidate,
which. l think he will do.
Bartlett will accept the defeat with
good grace, as Newman's majority over
him WAS about 100.
This day has strengthened the anti
ring Democrats. Yet it has made
breaches in the party that eau never be
healed.
