sLooDsHEp THREATENED.
Radical Speeches cHssrsd By the Alabama
Peoples Convention.

IkadIeal speeches Cheered By the Alabama
Peoples Convention.
MoxTGoMERY. Ala, Nov. 13-At Z
o'clock last night the Kolb convention
assembled, and while awaiting the re-
port Of the committee on resolutions a
heated wrangle ensued over the ques-
ton Of rechristening the party, which,
in n partial report from the special COM
mittee in the afternoon, had been
dubbed the Peoples and JedersoniRn
party. The result Of the argument was
"a wiping out OF Je6ersouian party, and
the convention Of Jedersoniaus and
Popnlists resolved themselves into the
National Peoples party.
II was after 8 o'clock when Chairman
". Il. Skaggs, OF the committee on res
olutions, was yielded the stage and be-
gan the reading OF voluminous report,
which took up the subject Of ballot box
stutinG. The report stated that the
committee had at hand ample proof oil
all their allegations OF fraud in that
Kolb and his ticket was elected last
August and had been counted out.
At this juncture, DR.. Crow, in IN ex-
cited manner paced up and down the
aisle and declared that he should be
seated even II bIoodshed wer necessary,
and that On December / the people
Populists and Republicans-should
meet at Montgomery, and that if the
state militia interfered with them there
would be enough men on hand to
handle them. These sentiments were
backed up in stout talks by a number
OF men until Chairman Skaggs resumed
the reading Of the report, which went
on to say that the evidence was at hand
to prove the fraudulent election Of Gov
ernor-elect Oates, and that II the legisla.
ture did not right the wrong. the federal
Congress would be called upon and q
force bill demanded il necessary.
After reading tn resolutions, Mr..
skaggs spoke for two hours and simply
drowned out the incendiary speakers,
who were applauded to the echo, while
the more conservative men we're listen
ed to in silence. The convention adj
journed sine die after adopting the re-
port. Not suggestion Of double
barrel legislature or government ia con-
tanned in the resolutions.

those who dared look out OF the car
windows obeyed. Conductor Wright
man passed through the train and
warned the passengers to conceal their
valuables. Women aud children were
panic stricken, and mon hastily con-
cealed watches and money. Passengers
took refuge under seats, behind doors,
aud some retired to the Pullman sleep
ers 10 the rear OF the train.
After fifteen minutes Of suspense, at
the muzzle Of gun, the engineer and
fireman were marched to the cab OF tho
engine and commanded to back the

OF the robbery. A second report from n
Winchester was the signal for the en-
gineer 10 pull out his train and the rob-

over to the robbers. The train pulled

LABOR'S OWN DAY.
How 1t Was Observed This Year In Man
of the Large Cities

How 1t Was Observed This year In many
of the Large Cities
In the summer of 1882, Matthew
Mcguire, Secretary of the Central L a.
Dor Union, of Paterson, N. j.. intro
duced a motion at one of the meetings
of the union that the various bodies
represented there should hold joint
demonstration and picnic instead OF
the separate assembly picnics that had
heretofore been the vogue, and sug-
gested that this combined labor outing
occur on the first Monday in Septem-
Der. The resolution met with favor.
and the first Monday in September of
each wear was set aside as labor no l.
day." The second demonstr ation-18S3
was grand success. Thirty thou
sand people were in line but the cele-
bration up to this time was confined to
New York City. In the following year
the NOV ement had extended to twenty
prominent cities of the United States,
and 1885 saw the observance of Labor
Day advance with still more rapid
strides, until now it reaches all the
new centers of industrial development
in the South as we'll as the North, and
every prominent city in the United
States has its Labor LAY.
This year the day was generally OBJ
served. In Chicago labor marched
through the streets with its trousers
turned up, and with little rills of water
running down the back of its neck.
Over 100 union workmen splashed
through the IN i'd to celebrate Labor
Day, undeterred by the heaviest down.
pour in over two months. In New York
labor made an imposing demonstra-
tion. Not far from 900 men, repre-
senting all the tr-des unions, were in
line.
The holiday was celebrated through
out all New England. Business was
generally suspended. In all the cities
a wealth of entertainment was offered,
and all day the streets were alive with
bands of music and professions. In
Boston over $4,000 were in line. A
Toronto dispatch says that for the first
time in the history OF the Dominion
Labor Day was celebrated by general
suspension OF business in different
cities and towns throughout Canada
At Omaha 10000 people participated
in the celebration. Thirty thousand
Representatives of Nebraska labor
unions were in the procession.
There were 200 m n in line in the
Labor Day para1e at Milwaukee. and
they marched through a drenching
rain torn. The celebration of the day
by the organized workingmen of In
dianapolis did not attract s. much at
tention as it had for everal years

SHOWED THEMSELVES HEROES.

Forest Fire Horror Brought Many Brave
Men to the Front.
The heroes of the forest fires we're
many, and their deeds are just coming
to light. Most CT these men have been
too busy to sev anything about them
selves, and their stories have only
come out when some of those they
have saved are heard from. The sto-
ries of Engineer Root and crew, of the
st. Paul and Duluth train, and that of
the Eastern Minnesota crew, so nobly
headed by Engineer Best, have
been told, although the tull force
of their heroic deeds cannot be under
stood by one who has never seen
or realized the terrors of forest fires,
Ordinary heroes become helpless un-
der such an ordeal, and only the truest
metal can stand the test Of such fur
mace. Engineer Ed Berry and Con-
ductor Harry Powers, OF the Eastern
Minnesota freight. come to the front
rank among the heroes who have
stood the trial by fire. The AS people
whom they picked up and carried back
to safety in the box cars were rushed
through the midst of the furnace over
burning ties, In the face OF the kuowl-
edge that another train in the OPP
posite direction had the right of way,
and was liable to be met anywhere
in the dense smoke and fierce flame.
That was a terrible ride over the
l;O-foot bridge across the Kett River,
which was blazing and trembling un-
der the wheels, apparently ready to
fall. Fifteen minutes af er the train
pa sed the ruins of the bridge went
down into the iver. 1t wa; at this
time that crowd Of alleged men
crowded into the cab and begged En-
gineer Berry TO unc 1uple the train and
carry them to safety, leaving the reo.
pie in the cars to perish. They were
summarily fired The number of peo-
pie saved by Gustave Wentz, cool
headed German teamster, will never be
known. He kept his horses on the
Jump and carried la ge numbers to
places of safety. Several entire fami-
lies we're saved b. him.
