Fought In q Well,

A tough negro woman, who is leased Us
convict laborer to a Georgia planter, broke
away one day when she was about to b.
whipped and ran under house. She dis
appeared very suddenly, and the guards
knew that she could not be very far away,
They searched closely for her, and she, see
ing that she would be caught, called to a
woman who was washing near to tell her
what she must do. She was advised to run
and jump in the we'll.
The fugitive slipped out, and unobserved
ran to the we'll and jumped down. Directly
the dogs were put on the trail, and they
went straight to the well and would not
leave. A man was sent down. The woman
was nearly covered with water. She would
not give up, and fought like tigress.
She was strong, and whipped the guard
and almost drowned him. He cried for
help and another man was sent down. The
woman turned on him, and the two men
had all they could do to keep her from
drowning them. Finally they got rope
around her body and she was hauled up,
with the water raining from her clothes in
streams

P0VDERLY RESIGNS.
Defeated Almost in the Hour of
Victory.
The Great General Master Workman
Couldn't Keep the Knights
In Line.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-T. V. Pow
kerly resigned his position Of general
master workman of the Knights Of
Labor this afternoon. He was unable
to keep the delegates in the line he had
marked out for them and this decisive
move seemed the only thing left for him
to adopt. Immediately after his resig-
nation was offered he left the hall as he
said to attend to some personal bust
ness. The step is surprise to all the
delegates although few of the m said
it is what he should have d one long
ago.
No action was taken on the matter al
though it opened a discussion which
lasted until the assembly adjourned at
5 o'clock. The causes which led up to
his resignation are as follows:
After Powderly was repeatedly urged
by the assembly to substitute a new
list of names for member of the ex-
ecutiye committee he acquiesced in the
demand and the second list was not
much more favorably than the first one,
but he was most persistent in his efforts
to have it accepted. Mcclure, of New
York, was the only one elected and the
assembly adjourned yesterday without
getting any further along. Today new
life seemed instilled into the Powderly
faction. Powderly endeavored to i'm
press on the assembly that he was
only exercising the powers his
office gave him. His opponents
told him he had misconstrued the mean
ing of the constitution. This Only ad-
ded fuel to the flames. Powderly would
not accept as committee the men the
delegates had elected and he declared
the election illegal and then the climax
came. The defeated leader spoke with
remarkable clearness as he said !:
"Gentlemen, you must either obey the
spirit of the constitution or declare the
office Of general master workman va
cant. I now tender you my resigna-
tion." With that he left the hall. All
the delegates were more than surprised.
they were astounded.
Powderly was asked tonight if he had
really resigned. He replied: IT told
the delegates they must either declare
my Office vacant or accept my resigna-
ton as 1 would not longer serve. In a
day or two will make statement; at
present do not feel that I should dc
SO. When left the hall it was to at
tend to some private business"
While the outcome of Powerly's re-
signation is still doubt some talk as to
his successor, is being freely INDUCED
in, Ssvring, of Iowa, being generally
regarded as the coming man.
