management has boon that the time

Management has taken place. The two
plans suggested for the formation OF
this committee were first, the appoint
ment OF two members OF the National
commission and two OF the local di
rectors, and second, the appointment
of five members, two from the Nation
al Commission and three from the 10
cal directors, Director-General Davis
being one OF the latter.
The former suggestion has beer
adopted, and hereafter the final deci-
sion will rest with the Council OF hd
Iministratlon. Messrs. J. W. st, Clail
and g. Y. Massey will represent the
National Commission, and President
u. ID. HiRginbotham and Director
Charles II. Schwab will represent the
local directory.
! The president of the Exposition
Company. William 4. Blkor, pre-
lsented his resignation last week
which was unanimously accepted by
The board OF directors, and Vice.Pre5i

the vacancy.

commission was apparent tho ap

oral, would have had the effect of pro
venting a possible deadlock whicl
may now arise"

There has been no new phases of the
Reynolds Dicley letter since yester-
lay EXCEPT that Mrs. Calhoun called
the REpuBLIGAN office and demanded
that the letter be handed over to her,
as she WIS the the owner OF ii, and she
should have it. Her request was NOT
granted for two reasons.
First, tho letter was not in nor about
tho REPUBLICAN, Office, aud secondly
becauso the letter was not addressed
to Mrs. Calhoun but to Friend
hickey"
The letter. however, is sin tho talk
amongst both Democrats and Repub-
Leans. and all alike condemn both
Reynolds aud Dlckey for being en-
gagged In a scheme thlt brings dis
grace upon the State.
The general opinion Ia that Ca houn
ought to he Immediately pardoned, as
tho evident determination OF the Gov
ernor was to pardon him. but while
doing SO he wanted to bring "Shan"
Dougherty back into the Democratic
party. The condition under which
Calhoun was to be parJ onod. tho PEG.
pie very properly think. should not

That the Order of Iron Hall Ia In .
serious condition cannot DO denied.
Tho Supreme Officers have betrayed
their trust. and wasted thousands OF
dollars belonging to the members,
who month after month have paid in
their money with tho expectation OF re-
celviDg an advance ut the end OF seven
years. A receiver has been appointed.
and whatever funds arc left Will be d.
vided among tho members.
The following dispatches have been
received:
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Aug. e4.-Ths
10 cal lodge OF the Order OF the Iron
Hall has practically withdrawn from
the geneiul body. There are i66 mem.
bers, and at meeting 1t was decided
not to remit So, 700 OF assessments now
due. The money in the treasury Will
DO divided pro rata among the MEM
bers In good standing.
Trenton, N, j., Aug. "a Two suits
restraining the officers OF the Iron
Hall in Jersey City and Camden from
sending any money to indianapolis
were begun in the Court OF Chancery
this morning. Charles r. Ware. OF
Camden. brought one OF tho suits. He
claims he has not received the 81 600
due him on June last. The vice.
chancellor will hear argument on
Tuesday next,
It Is not known what local branch
| No. 407 OF this city intends TO do, az
| the accountant William T. Clymer, 10
out OF town. There 10 also branch
at Stanton. but it could not be aseer-
tanned whit the members intend to do.
If the assessments are not paid the
members will BIO suspended, and lose
all they have paid In, while II they con-
tinue TO pay 1t is doubtful IL they Sc
cure enough from the receiver to ro-
imburse them for wnat thoy have al
ready paid.
The principles of the order are all
right. and II officers could havo been
secured who were not dishonest or
thieves there is no doubt but it would
have paid every obligation. AS 1t Ia.
it Is probable that hundreds OF work.
ingmen will lose the greater part OF
what thoy have paid in.
The following despatch will also DO
of interest to tile members:
DETROIT, MICu., August 22.-Iienry
M. Choever this afternoon beg NE ght
more suits against local branches Of
Tho Iron Hall. Tba bill In each case
asks for tho appQln tfnent OF receiver
for an Injunction testrainin the ofh-
GERS from using the money on hand
and eventually for Il division of tie
money among tho members in proper
ton to the amount zach Las paid In.
Mr.. Cheever says that no will at once
begin suits against four other Detroit
branches and when this Is done all the
branches will have been served alike.
| That the order has gone up there
cannot be any doubt. and tho only pity
Is that the workingmen who Rave paid
there hard earned money into II can
not get hold OF the scounldrels that
have swindlod them.
