1t is estimated that the loss of prop
erty by fire last yesr throughout the
whole country reached the enormous
sum of S167, 900, 900. This is not sim
ply guesswork, declares the New York
Tribune, but the result of careful es-
Inmates made by committee of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters,
and shows an increase of SIC, 600, 600
over the total given for 1892. 1t is
not surprising that the fire insurance
companies are alarmed at the losses
they are compelled to sustain, and
recognize the need of enforcing a
more uniform application of rules and
methods.

MARTIN -P0WDERLY ROW.
The Arrested Knight Tells About the
Trouble.

II. b. Martin Of Minneapolis. a member OF
the executive board Of the Knights OF Labor,
whose arrest on the charge of malicious libel
was made ut Scranton, Pa, SAYS he was ar
rested at an hour when 1t was difficult to get
bail The full story of the facts leading up
to the arrest, rs related by Mr.. Martin, is as
follows:
Just after the election of the general off,
GERS last November, eN-General Master Work
man Powderly wrote to General Master
Workman Sovereign, stating tina. he had sent
certain property of the knights to the general
Office, enumerating the same, aud concluding
his letter by stating that with the exception
OF the letters bearing the seals OF district,
state and local assemblies, now in his office
there was no other property Of the order In
his possession.
This at the time. was considered satisfac-
tory. Later Powderly and A. NJ Wright
brought suits against the order for money
alleged to DE due them. At the recent meet
ing OF the general executive board in Chi
cago, 1t was decided that II was time that
POwderly turned over everything be-
longing to the order 1t was also decided
that 1t was time that the ''secret work" of
the philosophers stone," which Powderly
received from Urah Stephens, should be
given to Sovereign and Hayes
Both Sovereign and Hayes had received
letters from members OF the order who had
earned this honor and wished 1t conferred
upon them. A notice had been issued to
organizers OF the order that the general mas.
ter workman would confer this degree upon
those who did certain organizing work.
Hayes was instructed to ask Powderly to
send him this secret work and did 40.
Powdery replied with an unqualified re-
fusal The General Executive Board, through
Hayes, then ordered Powderly to restore the
property within 10 days under penalty OF
standing expelled This is what led to the
trouble between Martin and Powderly.
Further arrests on both sides are expected
as Powderly is determined to remain in the
order rs long as he has an inch Of lighting
ground left. and the new officials seem
equally determined to finish him

SUCCESS AND FAILURE

We hear OF the grand Successes
OF the obstacles overcome,
We hear the songs OF triumph
And praise for great deeds dons.
But we seldom hear OF the failures
OF the efforts that came TO nausht.
Or the cry Of disappointment
From hearts with misery fraught.
We loudly hail the vlc.or
In the struggle for gold or fame,
But give little heed TO the Thousands
Who labor and struggle IN vain
Honor to him who wins the race
We all are glad to pay,
But there's little respect or pity
For the many who fall by the way.
