Dor in Providence--ResoIut
Adopted.

Providence, r. I, Jan. 20.-A long
expected meeting of District Assembly
SO knights of Labor was held in this
city this evening and it resulted in
the passage of resolutions denounc1ng
the high officials in the organization

them The attendance, which included
several knights from other New Eng
land states, was unusually large.
scarcely a member being. absent.
District Master Workman Cannon
began the criticism of General Master
Workman Sovereign, claiming that the
proclamation during the Pullman
strike and other errdtic moves were of
most foolhardy character.
Edward McCaffery, delegate to the
New Orleans general conference from
this assembly, made his report which
showed that more than IS, 600 members
had withdrawn from the order during
the year. The Philadelphia property
had recently been mortgaged and as
no official report of the financial con-
dition of the order had been made its
exact Status could not be determined.
He charged Sovereign, with having
been responsible for the Pullman strike
following resolutions were then adopted
by a unanimous vote:

LINCnLN RELICS

Among THE Lincoln relics disposed of at
a recent sale in Philadelphia was Lin
coins autograph copy for his bill for legal
services for the Illinois Central Railroad
Company. The bill was for 5000 and Lin
coin had six members of the Illinois bal
certify that the amount was not unrea-
sonable. Another was the check for $3.50
given to him as a retainer. If successful
Mr.. Lincoln was to receivs fee of 81 600.
Carrying the suit through the supreme
court and winning it he presented a bill
for the balance of his fee. 1t happened
that President BrayTnan was absent and
Mr.. Lincoln was referred with his bill to
the superintendent of the company. who
refused to pay it, remarklng: This is as
much as a first-class lawyer would

A Serious Clash.
A serious clash occurred at 10 o'clock
tonight between the soldiers and strik-
ers at the car stables of the Atlantic
avenue, at TWenty-fourth street and
Fifth avenue. Some strikers, represent
ing themselves as newspaper men,
passed the picket line and were
hooking up non-union men at the
stables, when it WAS discovered they
were frauds. They were escorted back
into the crowd. This led TO a clash
and the strikers charged the soldiers
on guard.
One of the strikers fired a Shot into
the ranks of the soldiers, who re-
turned the attack with renewed energy.
Two men, whose names could not be
learned, were stabbed in the charge.

ing to the practical mind of the future
American, and WE shall see the day
when companies will be organized to
mine the cemeteries and recover the
gold secreted in the jaws of dead an
cestors.''
The writer then goes ON and figures
on the average amount of gold in the
teeth of each dead person. He has
evidently been consulting the record
OF vital statistics, for he SAYS that
Sl5,0 900 people died in the United States
IN 1889. This would bring the value
OF gold in each dead persons teeth to
an an average of about 65A cents, and he
LINKS that in well-crowded cemeter-
les the mining of this gold co11Id ha
carried on proftably, despite the small
average value.

New York, Jan. 2O.-The Brooklyn

noon to an immense audience in the
Academy of Music, this city. DIR. Tai

called upon God to give strength

prayed that Justice might be tempered

his public work. But the state of New

y
1t is said that George Peabody wetmore
will be in the next cabinet in case the Re-
publicans carry the national election next
year This is practically a certainty, un-
less the senator from Rhode Island should
himself interfere to prevent that consum-
nation. Mr.. Wetmore has been urged to
permit the use Of his name as a candidate
for vice president, and in case Harrison
gets the nomination this may be accom-
plished. Senator Wetmore has remark
able capacity for getting himself liked !;
but, singularly enough, the movement to
make him party leader is almost wholly
outside of his own state.
Levi p. Morton Is firm believer In
Wetmores political future, and the cleo
tion of the former to the presidency would
only make the political advancement of
the latter a greater certainty Wetmore
first became friendly with Morton in Paris,
and slight mishap to the present senator
cemented the relation.
Wetmore happened to pass by our lega-
tion in the French capital when treach-
erous waterspout emptied it's contents upon
his head. Mr.. Morton witnessed the acci-
dent and rushed out to help, as he thought,
stranger thus engulfed, and when the
mutual recognition had made matters gen.
orally laughable to both Mr.. Wetnore de-
clared that as matter of patriotism he
would provide the legation with new tin
spout. Mr.. Morton begged him not to,
for 1t would be ingratitude to the cause of
the happy encounter.
Thus the friendship and the political
preferment of these men have advanced
apace together.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
