tend the session Of tho convention. Mr..
Howard presented proposition for the
consolidation OF all the labor organi.
cations OF the country into one vast
body, under single board Of manage
ment and with au amaIgamation Of in
torests. Ho belieYod that ii such plan

General Master Workman Sovereign
delivered his annual address, which was
all exhaustive and elaborate resume OF
tho work OF the order from its incipi-
euCy.

all labor organizations. His resume Of
the Pullman strike terminated in se-
we're criticism oil Major General John
NJ. Schoiicll and the recommendations
OF that officer for an increase OF the
army, together with the action Of "Chi-
cago's aristoCracy, who were permitted
to present standard OF COlora TO tho
Fifteenth infantry, which was an indi-
cation OF an uneasy desire to subiugats
labor to the military powers Of the ma
tion."
He urged that the assembly take
strong grounds against IN increase Of
the military force OF tho nation, and
that they advocate "a decrease in the
regular army and tho abolition OF the

to tho surface the sentiments OF mill
tary despotism."

BosroS, Nov. 15.-"Religious Orders
in the Protestant Episcopal Church
To-day" was the topic which occupied
the attention OF the morning session OF
the Episcopal church congress to-day.
After devotional exercises Bishop
Lawrence introduced as the first
speaker Rev. Lucius Waterman, D. D.,
Of Laconin, n. II.
Mr.. Waterman said that there are
several religious orders in the Protes-
tant Episcopal church to-day. Most of
the elderly men in the church could
remember when there were mono such.
1t Is sign OF revival OF religious
life that is q gift to the church.
Many women have joined these or
ders, and when woman after woman de.
cIares she has a call for a vocation Of
this kind we must accept 1t rs fact.
"ReIigious ORDERS" he declared, was
very old term, aud it meant COM
pany OF persons bound by VOWS. Mem
bers OF such an order commonly Y live in
a community, and this may be taken rs
a general idea OF an order OF men and
women. The idea Of q deaconess is q
worker alone. These workers usually
flock together, but many woman
could make grandly useful deaconess
who could never be at home or OF use in
q sisterhood. Woman's organization in
general could not be called "orders,"
however, owing to their loose organiza-
ton. Societies" was more fitting
term.
In conclusion no said:
"a great danger lay in the misConcep-
ton Of the words religion and 'religi-
ous.' Righteousness was very much q
matter OF what the soul is called to
dwell upon as q matter OF duty. The
duties Of the members OF these orders
we're doubIy difficult for these duties
comprised the spiritual as well rs tho
physical. A great vocation meanly full.
filled was the ono serious danger OF the
religious orders in the Protestant Epis.
copal church to-day"
This evenings session OF the congress,
held at Music Hall, was largely attended.
The topic for the evcning-"How to
Relieve the Poor Without Pauperizlng
Them"-creatod unusual interest, and
those who spoke on the subject were
men who have had long practical OK
perionce in matters OF charity in this
and other cities. Tho writer's for the
evening we're Mr.. Robert Treat Paine,
OF Boston. Mas, and Rov. George F.
Nelson, Of New York city.
The appointed speakers were Mr.. r.
Fulton utting, OF Now York city; Rev.
Joseph Reynolds, of Mott Haven, N. Y,
and Rov. W. S. Rainsford, D. D., Of
New York.

KANSAS CRY, Nov. 15.-Absolute and
glaring fraud. perpetrated on the tally
sheets used in the recent election, was
to-day unearthed in the Office OF the
recorder Of votes. The fraud WAS dis,
covered by W. 7. Jumison, the Repub'
lican candidate for prosecuting attor,
ney, who was elected on the face OF the
returns, but was counted out. The dis
covery was made in the presence OF
Recorder OF Votes Owsley and admitted
by that official. This lind verifies the
allegations made by Jamison and Sloane
(Repubican) that the Offices Of prose-
cutting attorney aud county marshal, to
which they were elected, were deliber-
ately stolen from them and giyea to
Bremmerman and keshlear Demo
crats). Great CONSERVATION was caused
among politicians generally by to-day's
discovery, and startling Developments
may be expected within the next few
days.
Bremmerman and Keshlear, the Dem
ocrats who we're given the election in
place OF Jamison and Sloane, have Of
fered to submit to n recount. Ibis has
been refused by the defeated candi-
dates, who assert it 10 scheme to trap
them. They urge that if the returns
could have been altered, the ballots
could have been and probably were
fixed TO correspond.

CIScExxArI, O., Nov. l5.-The Com
mercial Gazette's special from Wash
ineton G. H., Ohio, says: Coroner J.
II. Edwards, OF this city, began his in
quest on the Eve persons that were shot
in front Of tho court house in this place
on the night OF October IS, 1894, two or
three days after the occurrence and OBJ.
tanned the testimony Of ninety.eight
witnesses.
It was quite asurprIse to many OF the
citizens when they learned that the
coroner had returned his verdict to-day,
as it was generally understood that the
verdict would be withheld until A. B.
Colts testimony could be obtained.
The following Is Coroner Edwards YER
dict:
"Aiter having viewed the bodies and
heard the evidence, ! do find that the
deceased Smith, Welch, Mac Johnson,
Jesse Judy, William A. Sans and Theo-
dore zimmerman, came to their death
BY being atruck while in front OF the
court house on the evening OF October
Is, 1894, with leaden balls tired from tho
interior OF the court house in Washing
ton G. H., by Ohio State National Guards,
who were under command Of James F.
Cook, as sheriff OF Fayette county, and
A. B. Colt, as colonel OF the Fourteenth
regiment OF Ohio National Guards; and
I do find that at the time OF the firing
by the guards there was no imminent
danger OF serious destruction Of prop.
erty or OF harm to any one inside the
court house, or the remotest danger Of
the prisoner, William Dolby, colored,
being rescued from the custody Of
Sheriff Cook.
(signed) JAMES NJ. EDWARDS,
| Coroner.
The coroner has turned over all testi-
mony taken ia the inquest and his YER
diet to the prosecuting attorney, and
the action OF the court is await
ed with intense interest. 1t
is said in case indictments are
found against Colt and Cook
that there will be n change of
venue and the trial be held in some
other county. The widely circulated
story that Colonel Colt would have
been in any manner mistreated in case
no had come here to testify is absurd,
as the city has long since resumed its
normal condition, and no attempt to
annoy the colonel is even dreamed Of.
