named Kneifler in Davis office at In
dianapolis. The supreme body learned
about year ago that he was speculat-

his speculations. The Supreme Sitting
thought that if this information got out
it would damage the order, and for that
reason they ordered that knettier be
discharged.
Davis was dspleased at this, and
shortly aftcrward the plotting against
Somerby began. Six months ago Davis
came to me and said; by -, Pm

them to assist him in deposing Somerby.
He came to Mr. Hosmer and wanted

New BRrNswIck, N. j., Aug. 25.-
Many curiosity -seekers yesterday visited
a modest dwelling on Comstock street,
this city, with the hope of getting a
view of the body of Furman Schenck,
who was known as Barnums colored
fat boy,
Schcnck died Wednesday of fatty de-
generation of the liver. lie weighed
535 pounds at the time of his death.
Undertaken James L. Rodgers, who has
been engaged 10 bury the body, has had
a coffin made especially for Schenck.
The undertaken has been pushed in
planning for the removal Of the
immense coffin from the house.
The door is not wide enough to
permit the coffin being carried out the
front entrance and it will be carried by
dozen men through the back door and
through another door in the fence.
There is not a hearse in New Brunswick
or any adjacent town large enough for
this extraordinary corpse, and the coffin
will have to be conveyed to the cemetery
in a wagon.
Inc relatives OF the deceased were
also making arrangements for the
funeral, but would not allow the curious
to get view Of the body, The services
will be held at the late home Of the de-
ceased.
Schenck was 4 years of age. At 90
years he weighed 1926 pounds, and passed
the 500 mark few years later. He was
then exhibited by Barnum and suisse
quently became dime museum attrac-
ton.

cerned. The report of the committee

incnSa m1iI. Ine operation Of these
departments means that Mr.. Frick
and Superintendent Potter are
making great efforts to convince their
old men that the mills can be run with
out their aid. The tonnage men are too
well informed of the true condition of
affairs inside to DO alarmed at the SEEM
ing activity. They know that the mills
now in partial operation are manned by
bosses, superintendents and half dozen
non-union steel workers from the Carne-
gle mills at Braddock. They know that
$50 green men cannot run plant where
8, 300 experienced hands were employed
one month ago. The effect upon the
day laborers and ignorant Huns, Poles
and Slavs may not be the same, but
none Of these men, with possibly half q
dozen exceptions, show signs Of weaken
ing.
Mr.. Frick confidently expected two
thirds of his old hands to return before
the expiration Of the time which he set.
The leaders of the strike therefore claim
victory In keeping their men together,
for not one per cent. of the entire num-
ber has returned to his place. They are
confident that they can continue this
state of affairs indefinitely. The moral
and financial aid which continue to pour
in confirms them in this belief. The
company, however, look for stampede,
and as long as both sides continue IN
these positive views it seems the day Of
settlement will remain distant. General
Snowden and 5000 troops are evidently
here to stay and there Is much dissatis
faction among the soldiers who were
suddenly called away from their usual
operations at what they term unneces
sary detention when few companies
would be ample to guard the Carnegis
works
