SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. Ala reference to
| the order issued to-day by the New York
| Central Railroad 90 npany General Master
Workman Powdery said tonight; Last
! April the management OF the New York
Central decided to mako war on the
Knights of Labor. That Information was
impaired to me on the 18th OF that month
| in the barge office In New York. The cir
cular Just issued by Mr.. Webb Is only q
part OF the programme that began with the
discharge Of employees bscause they were
Knights OF Labor. Anyway 1t Is more
manly to come out like men and declare
their real Intentions than to continue to
discharge men and accuse them OF drunk
enness, insubordinati6n and incompetenoy,
as they have been doing.
81 see that they give as a reason for issu-
ing that circular the recent strike and acts
OF lawlessness committed In connection
herewith They should have gone little
futher and declared thPt the recent strike
and the acts OF lawlessness were deltber-
ately planned In the office OF the New York
Central. When the testimony is all taken
In the cases now pending feel c0nfiiept
that II Will be shown that the agents OF the
company are the real perpetrators of the
acts OF lawlessness. One thing the Knights
of Labor cannot be accused of and that 10
theft. That charge can justly be laid at
the door OF the offlclals of this New York
Central, for some OF them purloined the
lease made with the city OF Albany on the
10th day OF December, 1865, by which the
right to certain lands was given to the
company. began O search for that docu-
ment not long ago and discovered that only
a copy OF 1t could be found on die In the
city OF Albany. while the original was in
the safe of the Central Company. No, the
knights are not thieves, and 1t was be-
cause the real lawbreaksrs feared that
through he fundamentally OF the Knights
OF Labor they would bs brought to justice

A. Washington special says; Census Off
cials are disposed to give Mr. NTH OF
Cecil county, Md, fair opportunity to
show thnt errors have been made in the
enumeration In that county. To day Rep
resentative Stump transmitted to Mr. Hyde,
Chief Of the special agents division, state
ment from MIR. Smith on the subject. The
latter Is clerk to the county commissioners,
and he claims that mistakes have been
made In the First, Sixth and Eighth dis
tricis. He does not furnish any figures to
show what the discrepancies are, but he
makes comparison between the census
returns OF 1880 and 1890. He also states
that there has been an increase In
tho number OF votes, aud gives other
comparisons to show that the popu-
lation of Cecil county Is larger than
given by tDe recent census returns, Ia
support Of his theory he states that several
new schoolhouses have been erected In
order to accommodate the Increased mum
Der OF children, which would hardly be the
case II the population Of the county had
not Increased materially. He further shows
that there We're 1856 more votes in the First
district In the election OF 1850 than IN 1882
and az increase OF 20 In the same district
over The vote Of 1883. Ia the s xth district
there were 200 more votes cast IN 1880 than
Ia 1882, and 10 the Eighth district the census
returns indicate a loss OF 24t votes. MIR,
smith, In the opinion of the census officials,
ap ears to have figured principally upon Il
political basis, and does not send list OF
persons supposed to have been omitted.
Mr.. Hyde says he will communicate with
Mf. Q wen, who supervised the taking OF the
census In Cecil county, aud request him to
make a thorough Investigation of MIR,
Smiths complaint. THUS far, he adds, no
evidence has bsen submitted to invalidate
the official count, but every reasonable
effort will be made TO ascertain the facts in
the case.
