men. II can say that, so far as ac-
lions of Mr.. Powderly are concerned,
that during this whole matter most
heartily endorsed him, said Mr.. Sar-
gent, with decided emphasis. | am
confident Mr.. Powderly did not invite
this condition OF affairs, and that he
did his bet to avoid it. L never met
Mr.. Powderly personally till last
Monday, and can say that l believe
he is an honest and fair-minded man,
with the interests of the laboring
masses at heart. This is fight on the
part of the knights of Labor for a
recognition from the New York-Cen-
trail officials. is it not, and a sympa.
thetic on the part of federation?
Mr.. Webb took the stand in
the interview with Mr.. Powderly
that the officials of the Central road
were alone responsible for the remov-
ais made on their line, and decline to
be questioned by the labor officials,
regarding them. Now, L had nc
quarrel with Mr.. Webb, and had no
occasion to seek a personal interview
with him. 1 went to New York at
the solicitation of Mr.. Powderly. Mr..
Webb sent an invitation to Grand
Master Sweeny and myself to call
upon him, and we did so. L put
the question to Webb in this way ::
Suppose" said 1, THAT one of your
firemen who is a member OF our or
ganization was discharged by your
master of transportation, and that he
came to me on appeal to our our
local branches, suppose 1 came to New
York to you would you allow me to
question you concerning it?' He
evaded my question and 1 did not get
a positive answer from him but L
have an opinion and very positive
one, that the firemen would be treat
ed just as the knights of Labor have
been.

advices represent that Lobengula, the
king of Matabeland, is very much ir-
ritated over the course of the British
company, which he has recently adj
mitted to certain privileges in his do
minions, and that his people are ripe
for war. Lobengula is the most pow

able to muster an army of 10000
well-trained fighting men. He keeps
a body guard of 1000 men. the war
riors are more anxious for war than
the king, who understands something
of the extent of the British power,
and is slow to enter upon conflict.
Should Lobenguls 60 to war with the
colonists, it will be a more serious
affair than the struggle with the

OTTAWA, Ont, August 23.-Six or
eight representative British farmers
and three delegates of leading agri-
cultural societies will visit Canada
next week for the purpose of report
ing upon Manitoba and the North

A number of British farmers came to
Canada on a similar mission seven or

which were published and scattered
broadcast throughout Great Britain,
had a most beneficial effect in promot-
emigration to Canada.

z STRIDE FORWARD.
THE CITY WILL BUY THE WATER
WORKS
If the Citizens Will Vote the Neces-
sary Two Millions-An EleC-
ton Coming.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held at IL o'clock this morn
ing with all the aldermen except Kali
teyer present.
The meeting was called to receive
the report of the special committee of
citizens and aldermen, Messrs. Amos
Graves, chairman, and Geo. Dullnig,
Jacob Weber, Chas. Guerguin and A.
I. Lockwood, who called on Col. Geo.
w. Breckenridge yesterday afternoon
in regard to his selling the waterworks
plant to the city. The committee
made its report that they had seen
Col. Breckenridge and that he would
sell the entire plant, consisting Of
over 100 miles of new pipe, mostly
laid. three pump houses, machinery,
tools and supplies, mules, horses,
wagons, and real estate, which alone
comprises nearly 600 acres of inside
city property, together with the good
will and franchise of the system, the
property at the junction of Main and
san Pedro avenues, and at the corner
of Casino and Market streets, for the
sum of s., 000, 900, payable in 50-year
5 per cent bonds.
The committee recommended its
purchase, on the adoption of their re-
port, and an ordinance covering
the proposition, was submitted, the
rules suspended on its first, second
and third readings and passed unani-
mously, and an election ordered to de-
eide If the waIerworks, at this figure,
should be bought. Mayor Callaghan,
acting under the provisions of the or
dinance, will issue his proclamation

erty owned by the water COM
psny was read, and in it was con-
tanned the statement that the COM
pany now has 1890 private water con-
sumers, an increase of 800 in the
past year.
After adjournment the LIGHT saw
several aldermen and it was their
opinion that the question would be
carried. The purchase would be a
bargain, and the real estate alone
involved in ten years would

same as itruns the street department,

The success of the enterprise was
greatly due to the able chairman of

The Hogg Disease.

The Beeville Bee attended the late
Farmers Alliance Hogg meeting, and
while swallowing his dish of crow, a
la Hogg sauce, eXclaims in the follow
ing manner:
THAT CONVENTION"
Well, the convention has come and
gone, and with it many a glorious
throng of happy dreams. 1t was one
of those conventions you rarely ever
read about, for such another hetro.
geneous mass of moving humanity
was never before seen anywhere
in all of this broad land. The
politician was there, the law
yer was there, the preacher was
there, the school teacher was
there, the mechanic was there, the
merchant was there, the farmer was
therein fact. about every profession.
trade or calling, was represented
there, and all were howling-yes,
bowling like wolves-for Hogg!
Hogg!! Hogg!!! Oh, my country
men! never was there seen before
such Hogg-ish meeting, and as
Maine once went HI bent for Gov
ernor Kent, so did that convention go
the same way for Hogg. The AL
lance men ruled the day, SO the
ticket that was nominated might
truly be said to be an AL
lance ticket, wrapped in the
robe of democracy. But there is
go use grieving over split milk, and
like others, we presume we will be
compelled to stand the disease for at
least two years to come. We say dig
ease, for we can think of no other
suitable name to apply to this move
ment, which, like great tidal wave,
has swept the state from stem to stern
and made q god out of q Hogg. From
the very beginning it was seen that
southwest Texas stood no more show
to get man on the ticket than
snow ball would stand in Bob Inger-
soils summer resort. North, East and
Cen trail Texas carried the convention
like storm, while the "poor" South
west had to stand off with folded
arms and see her banner trampled in
the mud-no, we mean dust, for there
was no mud in San Antonio on that
day, and even the delegates them
selves were dry as powder-while
they were in the convention hall.
But "similia similibus curantur,n so
let us hope that in the sweet by and
by, our glorious Southwest will be
granted place in the government of
the state affairs. Until then, ADOIs.

Two Funerals Mixed

The man who was buried yesterday,
under the auspices of the G. A. r. So
ciety, with a United States military
escort, was a stranger in the city,
named William Lingwell, private in
Company A, Twelfth Michigan Vol
unteers, and not August Schwartz, of
North Flores street, as reported in
this mornings Express. The burst
ing of the steam pipes of the boiler
evidently got the reporter confused,
or he had probably been listening to
the orations at the Alamo pavilion
last night.
