powDERLY's CIRCULAR.
He COunsels knights TO Stand by thu
Alleged Train wreckers.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. A.-General
Master Workman Powderly has issued
. secret circular addressed ITO the
Members of the Order Wherever
Found, - and bearing his signature and
the official seal of the order. It 10 the
strongest and in many respects the
moAt important document he has issued
since the New York Central strike.
After giving the causes leading mp to
the New York Central strike, he says:
"It was clearly evident after the Arst
week that the men would eventually be
beaten, but it was necessary to teach
Legislatures that IL would be an ex-
pensive undertaking to attempt to de-
stroy the manhood of those who
created the wealth that went to bride
public officials. To give in the first
week would have shown cowardice and
would pave the way for future at
tacks. The experience gained by the
Central management in the loss of
from SIS, 000, 900 to $50, 000, 900 and the
greater loss of public patronage will
have q wholesome effect in the future.
''That strike was delibera tely planned
in the office of the New York Central 6
Hudson River Railroad, and once in
auRurated it was but just that they
should get enough of it.
ga number of our members have
been arrested for train wrecking.
Bogus confessions are being published,
their authors knowing that their con-
tradtctions will never go as far % the
ISLANDERS travel.
"Our duty does not end with the
official declaration that the strike 10
of. We should protect the life and
reputation of our brothers who are
arrested, imprisoned and held to
answer for the crime of train wrecking.
Counsel has been employed and the
funds necessary to defray expenses will
be wanted"

THE RIRcRALL TRIAL.


NEAsoner OooA ana deeply interested
in the Proceedings. TT
WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 24.-The trial
OF Birchall for the murder of Benwou
was resumed in the presence of lare,
crowd of spectators. Birchall came
into court with his old jaunty, debon.
nair expression. He was fresh shaved.
Wen brushed, and as nervy as ever. He
took keen interest in all that passed
Mrs. Birohall was in court and fol-
lowed closely all that was said and done.
The Grand Jury In the case of Mrs..
Birchan reported 'tno bill' on the
charge against her OF being accessory
to the murder.
= There was very little new matter de-
veloped. Pelly, under the guidance of
Queens Counsel osler, went over the
old facts.
Charles Benwsll, brother of the muir
oered man, followed Pelly. He said he
came to the trial in the place of his
father, who is i'll in England. He
identified the false teeth and plate, the
pencil case and ring placed in evidence
as belonging to his brother. He also
Identified the keys found on Birchall
as his brothers and said that with
them he opened his brothers desk and
two trunks.
Joseph and George Eldridge, farmers
0ne Sownsnlp OF nhelm, who dis
covered the body, told of their CHASTITY
md. Both said that the body had the
appearance of being thrown over or
carried to where it lay; that no foot
marks were seen near BY: that there
had been light fall of snow that day.
George told how the tell-tale cigar
case with Benwell's name on it was
found. 1t was by the purest accident.
An axe dragged over it, displacing the
snow which covered it, thus revealing
its identity and frustrating the plans
of the murderer. who had cut Ben
wells name from all of the clothing.

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
ingenious Contrlvances For Which tn
World Is Indebted to the Fair Sex.

Ingenious Contrlvances For Which the
World Is Indebted to the Fair Sex.
1t was California woman who in
vented baby carriage, which Melted
her $780, 900; while to Mrs. Catharine
Greene, the wife and widow of Wash
ington's' ablest officer, is due the honor
of inventing the cotton gin, which is
one of those distinctively American in
ventions, the value and Importance of
which have been recognized by the
whole industrial world. A horseshoe
machine, which turns out completed
shoes, was the invention of a woman;
also the reaper and mower, the ideas of
which came into the brain of Mrs. Ann
Manning, of Plainfield, n. j., to whom
is also accredited a clover cleaner. Mrs.
Manning seems to have stimulated the
inventive genius of her neigh bors, for a
few years after her reaper and mower
was patented Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, of
the same State took out patent for an
improvement on the machine, being a
device for changing the knives without
stopping the wheels.
One of the most complicated machines
ever made is that for the manufacture
of REINFORCED bottom paper bags. 1t is
so curiously ingenious that how it was
contrived passes the ordinary compre-
hension. 1t was the invention of Miss
Maggie Knight, who, from it and other
inventions in the same line, realized a
large fortune. A street-sweeper of great
merit was devised and patented by a
New York lady, who had a costly dress
ruined by the mud splashed on it by a
defective machine.
Most remarkable of all is the inven-
ton of Mrs. Mary B. Walton for deaden-
ing the sound of car wheels. She lived
near the elevated railroad in New York,
and was greatly annoyed by the sound
of the roaring trains passing her house.
The most noted machinists and invent
ors of the country had given their at
tention to the subject without being
able to furnish solution, when 10! q
woman's brain did the work, and her
appliance, proving perfectly successful,
was adopted by the elevated roads, and
she is now reaping the rewards of q

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The threat OF
the Louisiana Lottery Company to
purchase a paper in Montreal and flood
this country with it, trusting to the
Postal Treaty between the United States
and Canada to give this paper immun-
ity, despite the fact that 1t will fairly
reek with lottery advertisements and
lottery matter, does not find much Gre
dence here. No existing treaty between
Canada and the United States can alter
the definition of Objectionable matter,
and the Canadian papers containing
these advertisements could be stopped
the moment they reach the United
States, and thus come under the juris-
diotion Of the United States postal au-
thorities,

SULLIVAN ON A SPREE.
The Champion Pugilist-Actor Scatter
Coin on the Sidewalk,

The champion Pugtltst-Actor Scatterg
Coin on the Sidewalk,
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Actor John L.
Sullivan, the champion pugilist, reeled
into the Hoffman House last night,
and the regular guests gave him .
wide berth.
The big fellows plug hat was pulled
down over his left eye and he swung q
huge silver-headed cane much as q
policeman juggles with a club. Sulli-
vans eyes were red and his voice
husky. He brought up against tho
rosewood bar and leaned his back
Detective Jacobs viewed his entrance
with considerable alarm, especially as
Actor Sullivan made q pass at the big
bronze African that guards the en-
trance. He therefore undertook to
persuade Sullivan to 60 away, in which
he was presently joined by Billy Ed
wards. Sullivan resented the latter's
interference, and pushing him roughly
aside, said.
. "a'wayI I've ", got no truck with priz.
Billy laughed good naturally, as
Sullivan never was in his class any
how, and Jacobs finally led the 'tBig
Fellow" to the sidewalk. The latter
scattered a lot of loose coin on the
pavement, for which an immediate
scramble ensued, and a crowd quickly
gathered.
Sullivan was rescued in time and put
to bed at Taylor's Hotel, in Jersey City.
The audience at the Academy of Music
in that city was not wholly disap-
pointed last night, as he was able to 60
through his part in "Honest Hearts
and Willing Hands," but the scene
where he knocks out Lannon was de-
cidedly amusing. After the curtain
dropped he returned to the hotel and
started in on a seltzer diet.

A Person Borrowing $1,000 From The

MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK
The cost will be: Application, or
Membership Fee for shares, $1,000.
Monthly dues, 3 months, So per month,
$500. Then he can apply for a loan,
the cost of which will be $13 per month,
Gncluding monthly dues). for 81 months,
S1261 90. Total cost, $12S6,OO, amount
borrowed, 100000. Actual cost of loans
for 81 months, with the advantage of pay
ing off the loan in small monthly install
ments, $2S5,00.
The shares will likely mature within
100 months, which would consequently
decrease the cost of the loan.
The borrower pays the cost of his loan
in monthly installments. On a loan of
$1,000 he pays $40 per month on the
principal, and So per month for the use
of the loan. But it should be considered
that during the 81 months the borrower
has saved the payment of rent, which
would surely have amounted to a greater
sum than the actual cost of the loan. The
Merchantile Cooperative Bank will enable
a shareholder not only to provide home
for himself and family, but it saves him
from the payment of rent for all future
time. For full particulars apply to
