lican, as the postmaster at this point on
the lst of November the large number of
active young Democrats who were wanting
positions in the Office under Mr.. Kennedy,
as q partial compensation for their activity
during previous campaigns in holding the
party together and securing the success of
Democracy, are still wondering where they
are at. AS yet, Mr.. Kennedy has made no
changes in the force other than TO select a
deputy. It is understood that the new
postmaster is as DESTROYS of making
changes in the force in the Office other than
to select a deputy. 1t is understood that
the new postmaster is as DESTROYS of making
changes in the force as ere the Democratic
aSpirants to have them made, but Mr.. Ken
nedy does not know how TO get arOund the

ans, and very competent persons, but the
benefit it was 70 them to have Mr.. Cleve-
land elected. Some of the local Democrats
think the new postmaster should strength

and so express themselves in private con-
VersatiOn, but Nh. Kennedy has not yet
been able to come across any loophole or

POWDERLY'S SUCCESSOR.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-It was tacitly
understood to-day by the majority OF the
delegates to the General Assembly of tie
Knights of Labor that upon the opening of
the session tomorrow morning MI. Pow
derly's resignation would be almost unani-
mously accepted. Members OF the press COM
mittee denied that any caucus was held to-
day, but the action Of nineteen of the dele
gates seems at variance with that state
melt. a telegram was sent to James Y.
Sovereign, at Des Noines, asking him If
ne would accept the office which Mr.. Pow
Gerly seeks to vacate. 1t was sent to-day,
and was signed by nineteen delegates. some
OF whom have heretofore been known as
being very friendly to the interests of Mr..
Powderly. One of the delegates who signed
the telegram said tonight: IF the names
of all VINO signed the message were known
It would create considerable surprise in the
PoWdsrly camp. Mr.. Powderly has said
that the order could not get along without
him. but the action of the delegates to-day
Seems that he must have been mistaken
when he made that assertion. Mr.. Sover-
eign, who is Labor Commissioner of Iowa,
Is the man most fitted for the position. He
has no fights on hand, and Is, we believe,
the only one who could amalganate the
different interests Of the order and make it
what ii once was-the strongest labor or

ing his reply, and expect an affirmative one

At 7:30 tonight a reply to the telegram

Eight Men Try to Cut a Neat Train in
Two Near Elkhart with the View
of Wrecking an Express.
OF THE BANDITS CAUGHT
All the Trainmen Robbed Of Their
Watches and Money.
Two Burglars Captured After a Fight
Dismissed Official Appointed
by Joshua Jump.

GOSHEN, Ind, Nov. 2.-The first sec
ton of train No. 60, the fast meat express
on the Lake Shore road, between Chicago
and New York. pulled into this city last
night with eight desperate robbers on
board. Between this city and Elkhart they
had made repeated efforts TO uncoupie a
number Of cars with, 1t is believed, the idea
of wrecking the fast express train which
passes here close behind the meat train.
Train No. co pulled out OF Elkhart at
1870 this morning with orders to run to
Ligonier without stopping. When it had
left Elkhart a mile behind, the train crew,
which consisted of Conductor John Hickok
and two brakemen, found that eight men
were on the train, having concealed them
selves between the cars. The fellows made
an effort to uncouple the last ten cars Of
the train, but their efforts were foiled by
the train men after a hard fight. The
crew, however, were not able to drive the
men off the train. Five miles further on
another attempt was made TO uncouple the
cars and another fight resulted, which
lasted until the train was pulling into
Goshen. Hickok and one Of the brakemen
were badly battered up in the struggle.
The engineer blew his whistle for help,
and in a few minutes two officers and a
ClOWd " NlC a. bA| AoiAi Xix
robbers had made their escape, taking with
them the watches of the engineer, two
brakemen and Conductor Hickok. They
also secured a small sum of money from
each of the trainmen.
Early this morning q man giving the
name of Henry Zimmerman, was arrested
and in his shoe was found 81, the moun
taken from one of the brakemen. William
Cone was also taken into custody after
making a hard fight, and So taken from
the conductor was found upon him.. Zim-
herman claims to be q resident of Kendall
Vile, Ind, and Cone, of Benton Harbor,
Mich. The contradictiug stories told by the
former. all of which have been proven
false, are practically enough to convict
him.
1t is believed by the Lake Shore officials
that the men intended to leave the I'M
coupled cars standing upon the track with
the idea of wrecking the express train and
then plundering the express car. President
Newell, of the Lake Shore, was here this
morning and offered a reward of $1,000 for
the capture and conviction OF the eight
men, or $500 for the capture and conviction
Of one of them. The express train which
the robbers endeavored to wreck is the
same train which was held up and robbed
at Kessler. Ind, in September.

capped creates a 3cSiie.
CINCINNATI, Nov. ga dispatch to the
Commercial Gazette from LaPorte. Ind,
says: Justice Kings court was crowded to
overlooking. this afternoon. with a moving,
jostling throng of people, who filled the
lobby an hour before the call of the case
in which Edwin r. Niles. a pen ion at
torney, as complainant, sought to estab-
lish the existence Of a conspiracy to end
his life. The sensational phases antici-
pated were not disclosed. The afidavit
upon which the arrests were made was
found to be illegal, and the defendants
were discharged, pending their r~earrest.
The climax OF the afternoons proceedings
was reached when Mrs. Niles, the wife OF the
attorney, used vigorous and invective terms
in denunciatiOn of American courts and
1uries. AS she proceeded her manner be-
came deTnonStratlve and her gestures more
frequent until, with a ramat wave OF
her hand, she called down the maledictionS
OF the gods upon ner husbands perse-
cutorS. The crowded court room started to
cheer, but the stern edtct OF the justice
commanded silence.
Niles lives in q neiShborhood where har-
mony is en- unknown quantity. and his res
idence in that locality has been productive
OF bitter feelings. One night recently Niles
was called to his door, but no sooner had
he appeared in answer TO the summons
than he was seized by masked men and
by. force compelled to accompany his as
- $1,000 eEO1 49,
soundly whipped. The visit Of the masked
men was followed later by the sending of 4
letter written in letters of blood, threaten
ing dire vengeance If he did not leave the
neighborhood. Soon after the receipt of
the CORY epistle Niles heard whisPertnSs of
a plot to drown him. The plan of the con-
SpiratorS was to bind their victim with
rope and then cast him into the lake, but
a few blocks distant from his house. The
hrst knowledge of the alleged conspiracy
came to the attention of Niles by a whis-
pered conference among. the conspirators
beneath the window of his bedroom. This
was followed by secret meetings, and the
appointment of the time for carrying the
plot into execution. Niles evidently had a
friend in the locality, from the fact that he
Intercepted the plans of the conspirators
by inviting the aid Of the law and causing
the arrest of the four men, Collar, Moore,
Siegle and WingaS, the plotters.
N1leS'S house represents a formidable
fortress. The occupants have provided
heavy bars with which to barricade the
doors and windows, and several loaded
pistols are ready for immediate use. The
apprehension that Niles has had for his
life, it is feared, has partially dethroned
his reason, while his wife also shares in
her husbands Authorization. the commun-
ity has become thoroughly aroused in view
of the promised revelations, and serious
trouble is likely to be the final outcome.
Niles was for a number of years a prom
inent and active minister of the Christian
Church. He also served his country in the
late war, and was promoted from service
in the ranks to a staff position.

What the Officials Say.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.-The indica-
tons are that the company has gained a big
advantage over its former employees in the
Lehigh Valley strike. General Manager
Voorhees, said to a reporter: 1--WE will say
that the strike is about over so far as our
late employees are concerned. Our prospects
for moving trains are the very highest, and
we are continually getting the affairs of
the road in a much better condition than
that which has prevailed since the strike
commenced. The only point now where we
anticipate any trouble is at WIKI esbarre.
Our trains are being interfered with there
TO q considerable degree. To-day several
cars were cut loose and the couplings
thrown away, which interfered with our
work in no small degree. We called ON the
local authorities for assistance, but il was
not given in time nor in sufficient numbers.
OF course, that sort Of thing cannot go on.
and a stop will have to be put to it," This
was said in a significant manner.
deavors of the mine operators to have a
compromise made, said to-day: "Under no
consideration will We enter into a compro-
mise. our plans are laid down, and we
are supported in the operation by the
stockholders of the road. L am very sorry
intend running the road as we think IL
should be run, and we will adhere strictly
TO this plan. Officially, L am not aware
that trains are running over all divisions"
G Il. Clark, chairman of the grievance
committee, is strong in his assertions that
there is only one issue for the strikers.
and that is for the strike to win. Tonight
he said: There are a great many deSer-
lions Of new men so far, and they will con-.
tinue to desert. The company is trying to
tamped our men, but il will fail in the
attempt. In fact, the company is surprised
at the stand our men nave taken. Our re-
ports show that for the past twenty-four
hours three new men have been killed
while at work. We do not know their
names. To-day / received word from the
New Jersey State Board of Arbitration
that a committee of that body would meet
