A Brutal Husband FOrcibly Carries on
His Ten Year Old wife.
LONDON, Oct. 8. 3.-English rule in India is
prosperous and we'll established and the
natives appear cOntented, although there
is strong agitation going on for native
Indian parliament, in which both states
and people shall be represented. Another
movement that is being powerfully urged
by intelligent Hindoos is for reform in
the marriage laws Females are married
In infancy and their husbands take them
home while they are yet children. Great
strength has been added to the agitation for
reform by q recent occurrence In Calcutta
A Hindoo, whose daughter had been
married when she was babe months old,
objected strenuously when the husband
came to claim her at the age Of 10 years.
The husband summoned the native police
TO his assistance and the girl was borne
away, shrieking for help, while her father
lay senseless on the threshold. No one
dared to aid the wretched girl, for the hus-
band had native custom and English Law
on his side. The following day the girl
bride was dead, victim Of the inhuman
husband. The latter was arrested on a
charge Of murder, but nothing could be
proved against him and he was cleared
1t is now sixty years since the burning OF
widows with their dead husbands was
abolished in India, but much more remains
to be accomplished to redeem women from
their degraded condition

SCRANTON, Pa. Oct. 3--"I am not sur
prised." said Mr. Powderly last evening,
mt the order debarring knights from serv-
ice on the Central. 1t came to my knowl-
edge as early as last spring that this policy
Of boycotting would be instituted by that
corporation against our order. What they
have up to the present time been doing In
secret they now feel strong enough to pro
claim openly as their intention. Mr.. Webb
represents directly the Vanderbilt interest,
and Mr.. Depew, although nominally the
president of the company, is simply re.
tained in that position as a reward for past
services as a lobbyist at Albany. While
Mr.. Depew is content TO draw his $50 900 a
year as president, he is also satisfied to LEI
Mr.. Webb transact the business which he
as president should perform. The result
of this whole business will be to bring
about government control Of the railways ?

II. WALTER WEBB, Third Vice President
In an interview Mr.. Webb said: I'm the
past we have always admitted that we have
had no objection to our men joining labor
organizations, but developments during
the recent strike have led rs 70 decide that
II our msn were allowed to be members OF
the particular organization known as the

rimental to our road and the public
"Our action is In no sense an attack on
labor, and we do not anticipate that any
trouble will follow the issue of our circu-
lar. know that the men are extremely
dissatisfied with the organization Of the
knights, and that many OF them since the
strike was inaugurated have received less
money from the organization than they had
often contributed TO it in a single year"
President Samuel Gompers, of the Amer.
ican Federation Of Labor, said that Mr.
Webb was a fool and that whom the gods
wish TO destroy they first make mad He
believed that there were sufficient organi.
cations in the various branches Of the rail-
road to which men could belong apart from
the knights. He considered that Mr.
Webb's success in the strike had intoxi
Gated him. The circular was cowardly, as
