Special Correspondence OF Gazette and journal
FELTON,, Aug. 23.-At the Democratic
primary meeting held here on Saturday
last attention was called to the sufferers at
Delmar and resulted in the appointment of
committee of twelve--siN for each side of
the railroad-divided equally between
democrats and Republicans, to canvas the
country around and solicit aid. 1t was a
new departure for Republicans to receive
official recognition from the hands of their
opponents, but every man cheerfully con-
scented to act. And last night when the
different members Of the committee began
to report the result Of their solicitations
the hearts Of everybody were made glad by
the exhibition OF the generous response.
1t would be too tedious To mention the re-
suit in detail, but the sum total amounted
to l25 bushels of wheat-enough to make
5000 pounds Of fiour--a great quantity of
vegetables and an assortment of drygoods
and groceries, supplemented by cash con
tributions amounting to $50. The whole
donation estimated to be worth at least
$50. Ours is not u wealthy community
and the writer is touched with a feeling of
no little pride that he lives in the midst of
such u kind and generous hearted people.
Superintendent Holiday is warmly praised
for his kindness in stopping the express
train there long enough to load this large
quantity and transporting it free, We do
not know what may be the result of our
Democratic primary meeting politically,
but one thing we feel assured that in Civ
ing our people an opportunity to display
their open generous heartcdncss il was a
bowling success.

BRoTHERHOOD or ENGINEERS.
1t looks Now As il They Will Not Count.
enance the Striking Switchmen.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
BUFFALO, Aug. 24.-Chief Arthur of
the engineers has, it is believed, indi-
Gated to Mr.. Sweeney of the switch
mems order, that it will be impossible
for him to be present hero at the pro.
posed conference. This is construed to
mean that the engineers order will have
nothing to do with the switcnmcn's
strike and that they will not cooperate
in a sympathetic strike.
Reasoning from this some conclusions
may be reached. Mr.. Sargent will not
take out his men to aid Mr.. Sweeney's
men unless all organized railway men
also go out Mr. Arthnrs men will not
come out, therefore Mr., Sargant's men
will not come out. These facts leave
the conductors, the trainmen, and the
railway telegraphers as the field from
which Mr.. Sweeney must search for aid
The conductors and telegraphers, it is
believed have little in common with the
switchmen and the trainmen are not
more associated with other orders than
with the switchmen.
Mr.. Sargent announced yesterday that
he would leave the city this afternoon,
going to his home. Hence Mr.. Sweeney
must consummate his conference to-day
or conduct it without the presence Of
Mr.. Sargent, unless, indeed, Mr., Sargent
should return, which is not deemed
probable.

SITUATION IT COAL CREEK.
Labor Commissioner Allen Summoned to
Appear Before General Carnes.

Appear Before General Carnes.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 24.-'rhe
latest news from Coal Creek is that
quiet prevails. No demonstrations were
made yesterday. Supplies and clothing
are being rushed forward from this city
to the soldiers, as their stay is indefinite,
and especially since the indications are
that the convicts will be returned to the
mines in few days.
General Carnes in the examination of
the dispatches in the office at Coal Creek
has found many Of en- discriminating
nature which shed much light upon the
conspiracy.
Last night Commissioner of Labor
Allen left for Nashville it is understood
in obedience to request from General
Carnes that he was wanted" All men
say he will be able to show in any court
that he has had no part in melting the
riots and attacks. He said he was going
to Coal Creek to report to General
Carnes.
The Fourth Regiment of volunteers
was organized here last night, Colonel
Baxter Smith commanding. They will
ask to be sworn in at once, subject to
the call of the governor No further
trouble Is feared before Labor Day, or
unless the troops are removed from the
valley.
The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail
road Company yesterday filed its an
swer as lessee to the notice received by
the inspector of prisons declaring its
contract forfeited. The lessee says it
will make its bond good, and in view of
- In nd
requiring it to remove the conYicts from
the prisons who were brought in on ac-
count of the trouble, it agrees to do so
| provided the state will agree and con-
| sent to determine the alleged grounds
| of forfeiture, but will submit them 60
| the determination of the courts, a suit
having already been brought substan-
| TALLY on complaint from the miners from
| Briceville.
With this understanding the COM
| pany in response to the removal of the
convicts, who were at lnman, be re-
turned to lnman, and the cnnvicts who
were at Oliver Springs also be returned.
| If you prefer, the convicts shall not be
worked In our mines, and think II to
| the interest and advantage of the state
| that the lease we now have be termin-
ated, it will be done.
The board and representatives of the
| lessee and attorneys and the adiutant-
general, representing the governor, met
yesterday and discussed the proposition
of the lessee. Their conclusions were
not made public, but it is understood
that the members of the board at the
meeting to-day will vote to make the
proposed agreement and it will be rati-
| fed

Opening Of thu I7tli biennial Session of
the supreme Lodge.

tho supreme lsO'lSt.
The nth biennial session Of the
Supreme Lodge, knights of Fythias of
the world, began Tuesday morning at
Kansas City and will continue about 10
! DAYS.
During the morning the supreme
body was given Il public reception in
the Opera House. The exercises con
sisted of address of welcome and re,
sponses. Governor Francis welcomed
the visiting knights on behalf Of the
state. Mayor Cowherd extended to
them the freedom Of the city, and II. NJ
HARDER, Grand Chancellor knights Of
Pythias of Missouri, welcomed them in
the name of the local Pythians and of
the great west. Supreme Chancellor
Shaw concluded the ceremonies by re-
spending to each of the addresses Of
welcome. The Supreme Lodge then
adjourned to Masonic Hall, where it
went into secret session.
In his report the supreme chancellor
congratuiates the order upon its steadily
increasing progress and its continued
prosperity and upon the harmony which
universally prevails. The order enters
the 2Sth year of its existence, says the
report, with IL splendid army Of more
than 100000 men marching steadily for
ward under the tri.Colored banner of
Pythianism. One year ago 2G3, 900
names were enrolled upon the roster Of
membership throughout the supreme
jurisdiction. Within the past 12 months
this number has been Increased to 30S,-
OOO, making an increase during the year
OF $4,000, or about one-siXth. The de-
velopment Of the uniform rank is a
marvel. The record shows an increase
of 1853 new divisions during the past
year, with u total membership exceed
ing 3500O being an increase during the
year of 5000 members, or over one-iifth,
Majors general Carnahan presented a
report on the management and condi-
ton Of the uniformed rank. lllustra-
tive of the growth of the rank, the re-
port says February 10Th, 1890, the rank
consisted of Cos divisions; a year later
Of 1858 divisions; and on February 18th,
1892, Of $50 divisions, with 90 divisions
for the institution of which applications
have been approved since the date last
named above, making total to date of
! ,O65 divisions, with an aggregate mem
hership of more than 10000, and with
brigade and regimental organizations in
nearly every important grand 1urisdic-
ton. The report of the board Of
trustees of the Endowment Rank was
presented by William d. Kennedy, SUI
prcme secretary of the rank.
The report states that on July list,
| 1892, the endowment rank consisted of
1,4l7 active sections, comprising 300 07
members, with endowmnnts in force
amounting to $62,952,000, and an in
crease since the last biennial report of
500 sections, 5000 members and $iT,-
O00,0 900 endowments. The resources of
the rank are stated to be $s7 sci 900,
and the liabilities, representing death
losses accruing before July lst, 1899,
| $lS7000. Much of this liability is rep
resented by proofs in process of com
| pletion and adjusted, and which will be
met by the usual assessment.

Supreme Officers OF Iron Hail Placed
Under tho Control OF Court BailiT.
Iron Hall is in receivers hands. This
is the outcome of Tuesdays hearing
before Judge Taylor in Indianapolis.
Following some astounding testimony
given by Supreme Cashier Davis the
court suddenly stopped the hearing and
said: at is plain that this case should
stop right here. l don't sec the use of
any argument. The testimony is clear.
Such management is something the like
of which this court never before heard
of. The court has never before, III the
course of ten years experience on the
bench, known such condition of affairs.
1t looks as though the order was kept
up for the benefit of the supreme officers
instead of for the members of the order.
1t is evident that tho Iron Hall must be
closed out sooner or later, and that
longest will be the ultimate sufferers. l
