DALLAS, Jan. 8. -District A ssem bly,
No. 70 knights of Labor of the state
of Texas at 10 O'Clock this morning
had transacted the business that Lad
called it together and adjourned The
quarterly report shows 27OO members
in good standing, 128 local assemblies
and applicants for several new
charters. Eighty. seven delegates were
In attendance. Officers for the en-
suing year were elected as follows: P.
N. Harris was reelected district
master workmen and p. III. Golden
district secretary treasurer. The pro-
ceedings were secret and 1t is not
known what TRANSFERRED of a political
nature.
A legislative committee was select
ed to camp at Austin and keep an eye
on the law makers and push labor leg
islations. The delegates to the gem
eral assembly are p. II. Golden Of
Dallas and p. N. Harris OF Galveston.
The district assembly will meet at
Galveston on the the third Monday in
January, 1894, unless special session
Is held earlier. The order In Texas is
recovering from the results of the
great railway strikes OF 1886 Z, accord
ing to the officers, and great deal of
organizing and agitating will be done
this year. One of the leading knights
said among other things to Your COR
respondent:
"rhe farmer delegates to district
assembly No. Z favored the applying
OF the eight-hour law to the public
roads system as it is now operated :.
In regard to the stale public printing
department the delegates seemed to
think that the department In any
statement gifts cost that had beer
made, the amount of plate matter OH
hand, the cost of machinery and plant
had not been taken into account and
that consequently the department had
been done an injustice.
When the facts In the case were
placed before the people in their pro-
per light the department would be
found to be more than self supporting
This is made the basis If an argument
in favor of free school hooks. 1t Is also
claimed that the lawyer now receive
public matter at a third less cost TO
the state than formerly, when such
matter was printed outside the state. ~
1t is Understood that Messes Golden

ests OF organized labor at Austin thu

LITTLE ROCK EPIDEMIC.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 The Marine
hospital service has been kept posted
as to the progress of the disease
among cOnvicts at Little Rock, and
has taken steps to determine its ma
ture. Acting Assistant Surgeon Glib
son at Little Rock wired the facts as
far as known to Surgeon General
Wyman Saturday night. The infor-
nation contained in Surgeon General
Wyman's dispatch, however, was
practically that in the published re-
ports, and Or. Wyman Immediately
wired for further and more detailed
facts. The information received was
of a grave enough char
ton, and Surgeon General
Wyman ordered Assistant Surgeon
General Gibson to proceed at once to
Little Rock. Surgeon General Gid.
dings left Thursday, and will make a
thorough examination and ascertain
the exact nature of the fatal disease.
Surgeon General Wyman declined to
express an opinion as to the nature of
the malady, but said he had no infor-
nation as yet which would cause any
apprehension. He regards the fact
that there are no cases at Helena,
where the disease first made its ap.
pearance, important, and though he
has made every effort in that direc-
ton no connection between the cases
and immigrants has been established.
1t Was at first thought the malady
might have origin In the cars in which

ever. proved that the cars had been in
nse for that purpose for six months,
and had not been used in transporta-
ton of immigrants.

HAVE CAUGHT THE CRAZE.
Logan, Ogden, Provo and Park City VII
Attend the Masked Ball.

Logan, Ogden, Provo and Park City Will
Attend the Masked Ball.
Interest in the masked ball to be given
by the Press club on st. Valentines eve
appears to be increasing. Speaking of the
affair the Logan Journal yesterday said
editorially:
'sLogan seems to have caught the
mask ball craze. 1t appears as though a
large party are preparing to attend the
Salt Lake City Press club mask ball at the
Salt Lake theatre on Valentines eve.
Park City and Provo will send large dele
cations to the ball, while Ogden, it is
understood, will be represented by
about 100 of its most prominent
ladies and gentlemen. Indications are
now that Logan will be represented on
the floor by about thirty of her promin-
ent people. The railroads have reduced
the rates to one fare for the round trip to
all holders of carnival tickets, and the re-
duction has popularized the event to a
very large extent. The Press club desires
the Journal to state that a section of the
theatre will be reserved for the Logan
delegation.'
Many inquiries are received concerning
the costumes, and Manager Snyder states
that they will arrive here not later than
Feb. 9, which will be ample time.

which takes place at the KnuJsford on

WANT OUR AsPHALTUM.

The Streets of Buffalo to be Paved With
the Utah Product.
The streets of Buffalo, N. Y, are to be
paved with Utah asphalt.
Messrs. Culmer & Jennings received an
order by telegraph yesterday for $50 tons
of rock asphalt to pave the streets of Buf
falo from the German Rock Asphalt COM
pany. The president and secretary of
this company visited Utah in person to
test the Utah product, and after thor
ough examination of the pavement on
Richards avenue were convinced that it
was superior article to that which they
had been importing from Germany. This
company has already laid eight miles of
asphalt pavement in Buffalo and their en-
dorsement of Utah material will help to
introduce it into the eastern market. One
OF the principal points of the order was
their insistance that Culmer & Jennings
should agree to supply their orders in the
future at stipulated price.
The Wasatch Paving company has ex-
pended upwards of $50, 600 in developing
their mines and are now erecting large
refining plant in this city that will turn
out $50 tons of mastic per day. When the
plant is completed it will give work to a
force of thirty hands, and 100 men will
be required in the mines to quarry the
rock to keep the works going at their full
capacity.
