DlscREpITED BY A CHIEF.

A Member of the General Executive
Board Speaks for the Order.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.-General Mas
ter Workman Powderly of the Knights
of Labor left the city before a reporter
could get talk with him about the
confession of the three Knights of Labor
duplicating Master Workman Lee of D.
A. 246 in the wreck on the New York
Central Railroad. In his absence Mr..
Wright of the General Executive Board
spoke for the general officers of the
order. He said:
"Until these confessions were pub
lished we believed that Reed, Cordial,
Cain, Buett and Herman were innocent
of the charges preferred against them.
We intended to defend them, but since
they swear that they took part in the
wrecking of trains we will make
thorough investigation and lend every
assistance to the authorities to bring
the guilty party to justice"
81 cannot believe that Master Work
man Lee had any knowledge OF the
guilt of these men. Their claim that
he gave them money to leave the coun-
try with do not credit. I know that
Lee had very little money, and that the
Committee of the district did not pass
through his hands. The first install
ment that was given the district was
some days after the wreck, and it was
a very small amount. 1t was given by
General Secretary Hayes to the district
treasurer. l have thought that per-
haps these men had drawn the names
OF officials into this matter in the hope
of discrediting the order. If that is
their idea they will not succeed. The
order will live, and the general officers
will come out of this with clean
skirts"
What about the statement that men
high in the councils of the order and
who have the confidence of the gener al
officers, had been hired as agents by
the railroad company 7"
81 do not believe that there is any
truth in it. Every man who holds an
important Office is an old member of
the order, and will remain loyal to it
under all circumstances. l think that
is merely another lie thrown out to
hoodwink people. A day or two after
the strike was ordered we knew that
the Central was trying to get it's agents
into our locals in order that they might
know what we were doing. To prevent
this we issued an order that no new
men should be mustered in the whole
| State for a certain period, and in that
way am quite sure we blocked their
game"
"Did Mr.. Powderly tel you what he
thought of the affair before he left"
eve had q short talk about the
matter, but 1 cannot talk for Mr.. Pow
derly.

ARTHuR COMMENDED.

The brotherhood Praise Their Chief for
His Action During the Central Strike.
NEW York, Sept. 22.-The grand
union meeting of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, which is in the
nature of national. convention, was
held at Lyric Hall, in this city, yester-
day.
Two sessions were held, both of
which were addressed by Grand Chief
Engineer Arthur. At the morning
session 900 were present, and in the
afternoon 1850, and divisions were
represented from Maine to California
and Canada to Panama. Chief Arthur
was received enthusiastically.
The following resolution was passed I:
'"That it is the sentiment of this union
that We approve the instruction given
by our Grand Chief Engineer to the en-
ginesrs during the late trouble and we
have full confidence in his integrity.
We also honor the engineers on the
New York Central Railroad in follow
ing the instruction given by our Grand
Chief and in keeping SO close to the
laws and rules of our Brotherhood"

cordial's and Kiernan's Denials.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 22.-John Kier-
nan said to-day that he had no idea his
name was connected with any such
attempts until the time of his arrest.
He had received no intimation from
any one that he had better leave town,
nor had he received money from any
source to defray the expenses of such
a trip. He did not see Cain or Buett
on either of the nights mentioned,
when they claim he sought them and
asked for their help to do the differ rent
"jobs."
John Cordial said the first intimation
he had of his being suspected as one of
the wreckers was when heswas dragged
out of his house in the early hours of
the morning and told he was wanted
for participation in the Castleton
wrecking. He had never been told it
would be wise for him to leave town.
He had received no money in order to
enable him to get out of town.
Mr.. Cordial emphatically denied
every allegation in the Confessions"
which seek to connect him with the
wrecking, even as regards having any
knowledge beforehand of the intention
of any one to place obstructions on the
track. Herman had never approached
him asking for his aid in trying to
wreck a train,

diphtheria microbe, and vice versa so
that when the patient is ill with one dis
ease they inoculate him with the virus
of the other, and bring him out well.
This reminds us of the old quack, (he

Details OF Their Recent Scrap-FrlenaB
Once More.
The personal rencontrc between Pitch
err M2allin and First Bascman Taylor
the first of the season in the LouisvillS
team-has had no effect upon the teams
work. as the breach between the two
was quickly healed. The two men came
to blows at Larry Gatto's, whom every
American Association ball player
knows. Mr.. Cato, who is director Of
the club, has fitted up a room in his
building for the Louisville players,
where they can meet and play checkers,
dominoes and cards. Manager Chap
man and a number of the players were
in there Thursday night. Mcakin and
Taylor were playing cards, when they
got into row. Taylor was not very
polite to MealIin, and the little pitcher
hit him a rap in the eye and the two
men got together. Manager Chapman
and the other players separated the men
before any other damage could be done.
Taylor was very sore after the difficulty,
and one of the Louisville papers stated
that he informed Manager Chapman
that The would have to get another first
baseman to play in the games in which
Meakin pitches" Taylor did not make
such a break, however, because he says
he does not allow his personal relations
with q player to interfere with his
duties to his club. The two players are,
however, once more on friendly foot
ing, thanks to Manager Chapman's eff
forts as pesce-maker.

AN INFAMOUS SCHEME.

The avowed object of the apportion-
ment bill which the republicans have in
preparation is SO to arrange the electoral
votes of the states that, on their as
sumed political basis, the republicans
may carry the next presidential election
by concentrating their force upon a
single state among those states which
are regarded as doubtful in this way of
voting. This they have not before been
able to do. The doubtful states have
heretofore been regarded as New York,
Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey.
1t has been necessary for the republi-
cans to carry two of these, one of the
two being the great state of New York.
1t is understood among politicians now
that New Jersey is to be taken out of
the ranks of the doubtful states and re-
garded as democratic but West Nir-
GINA is to be transferred from demo-
cratic to doubtful in view of the new
methods of electioneering that have
come into vogue. The Springfield
Republican makes n calculation show
ing what the result would be under this
100000 apportionment, which is to in.
crease the house of representatives
twenty-nine and the electoral college

From this 1t will be seen that, if
present divisions hold, the republicans
have only to carry one of the doubtful
states, and that one either of the smallest
states among them, to have the election.
West Virginia or Connecticut would
save it to them. One could hardly think
about what an election would be in one or
the other or in both of these states with
out a sickening sensation. No one ques-
tons that bribery has long existed in our
presidential elections. That it grew to
more alarming proportions than ever be-
fore was made publicly manifest in the
latest one. Now, imagine this bribery,
not diffused through two or three states.
as it has lately been, but concentrated
all into one, and that state as small as
West Virginia or Connecticut, and the
imagination shrinks before the spectacle
of debauchery that is implied in 1t.
When we reflect that the presidential
election is dependent upon its success or
defeat, we may fird enough in it to
shake the foundation of the government
itself.

fested by the citizens of Roanoke, is it
not indeed surprising that not thing
has been done towards supplying the
Messing of good rcadblc literary

1t would be quite difficult task to
find town anywhere that manifests
such thrift; that has as much real hard
cash. and that contains as many sub.
stantiai business firms.

MINERAL LAND.

I offer for sale oOl acres OF Coal and
Iron Land, situated in the Catawba val
ley of Virginia, eleven miles from Roam
okc. The outlook for great develop
ments on this property is splendid The
ore is a vein of soft brown hematite 80
feet wide and assaying so per cent, me-
tallic iron. And the coal prospects are
fine-two shafts having been sunk, one
90 and the other 25 feet through solid
coal slate. The property also contains
a mineral spring, which the analysis of
Lehman & Mayor proved to possess ro-
markablc curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabetes. The
enormous quantity of coal and ore that
will be required foi the large number of
furnaces and other industrial plants in
course of construct on in Southwest Vir-
ginia will greatly increase the already
large demand for these minerals. and
consequently enhance the value of such
property Two railroads have been sur
vcyed near the property. one of which
the Roanoke and Craig railroad, and the
other. the Virginia Western railroad.
