A BATTLE OF GIANTS.

The Most Important ond Sensational Con.
vention Ever Yet Held by Organized La
bor-Oficers of the United Mineworksgs
and Knights of Labor Preparing To
Make the Fight OF Their Lives at Co
lumbus.
COLUMBUS, O.. Jan. g. The national
executive board of the United Nine
workers union completed its work,
and the members left for their re-
spective homes yesterday, leaving
President Penna and Secretary Nc
Bryde to complete the arrangements
for the convention to be held here Feb
ruary 12.
There will be two conventions, one
OF which will be composed of delegates
from local assemblies of the Knights
of Labor attached to District No. 1856,
and the other a joint convention of
knights of Labor and Progressive
union delegates, composing the United
Mineworkers' union.
1t has heretofore been the custom
for the United Mineworkers' conven-
tion to be held first, but for obvious
reasons the Knights Of Labor will
| meet first this time. *.
Two calls have been formulated by
the executive board, one of which is
secret, and is being sent to knights OF
Labor assemblies, and the other con-
tains nothing of interest to the gen
eral public.
The greatest interest hinges on the
probable action of the Knights OF
Labor convention, which will meet
Monday, February /. Upon the action
taken at that meeting depends to a
great extent the business which will
be transacted by the other convention,
which will be called the following day.
The secret meeting is understood to
embody charges against Hayes and
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor,
and advises the miners to send dele
gates in instructed to vote to cut loose
from the general assembly of the
knights.
On the other hand, secret circular
is being sent out by Messrs, Hayes and
Sovereign appealing to the miners to
withdraw from the United Mnework-
ers and connect themselves with the
general assembly of the Knights Of
Labor.
Thus the issue is drawn. and upon
these two lines the fight between
Knights of Labor and United Nine
workers officials will be waged when
| the convention meets.
Should the mineworkers' officials
win, the result will be loss of 5000
members to the Knights of Labor; and
should Hayes and Sovereign come out
victorious, the result will be practi-
cally disorganization of the mine
workers organization.
Grand Master Workman Sovereign
and Secretary Hayes. together with
the general executive board OF the
| Knights of Labor, will be here to
make the fight of their lives, and the
same will be true of the mineworkers
officials
| In view of the fact that the fight
will be bitter and speech making will
probably be unlimited, it is not likely
that the Knights Of Labor convention
will complete its business in one day
as contemplated by the cali. Unless it
should happen that the delegates be
practically of one mind and conclude
to cut the wrangle between their two
sets Of officials short and decide the
question on an issue themselves, there
is danger that the entire week will be
consumed by the knights of Labor
convention.
For the reason stated, the conven-
tions will be the most important and
sensational ever held by any branch
of ORGANIZED labor

A WRONG RIGHTED.

The Partially Ineinerated Body of John
Greenwood, a Victim u the Grand Trunk
Wreck at hattie Creek. Mich, in 1893,
Delivered to Hts Widow and saipped to
Engiand-A False Identification tn
covered The Widow unidentified.
BATTLE CEEEK, Mich, Jan s.--The
last.chapter in the Grand Trunk wreck
here on October 20, 1898, closed yes
terday when the body of John Green
wood was taken up and shipped to
Essex, England
At the time of the wreck his body
was consumed by the flames, with the
exception of the trunk, and was
labeled "No. g. On the body was
found gold watch and &l75 in gold.
few days after the wreck a stranger
came here from Chicago, giving his
name as Robert Dawson, and claiming
body No. 8 as that of his brother,
George Dawson. He produced letter
purporting to be from the dead man,
whom he claimed was on his way from
Essex, England, written in Buffalo, de-
scribing his baggage, giving the num-
Der OF his watch and telling him where
the key could he found. The letter
was positive proof of the mans iden-
tity, SO thought the coroner, and the
body, together with the valuables was
turned over to him. Dawson, who af-
terward proved to be an imposter, had
the body buried here and then got
away with the dead mans valuables.
Then came on Mrs. John Greenwood
and her brother, Mark Clayton, of Es-
sex, England, and claimed the body of
the man buried as George Dawson.
The body was exhumed and Mr.. Clay
ton identified it by ribs which the de-
ceased had broken few days before
he left home. The ribs were pro-
tected by plaster cast. This and the
under shirt proved the body to be that
of John Greenwood. ..
The railroad officials were so posi-
tive that there was no mistake this
time that they paid the widow $500
for the loss of her husband 1t was
supposed that Dawson had an accom-
plice on the outside, who came here
and looked over the articles taken from
the wreck, got the number of the
watch, etc, and then went to Chicago
and wrote the letter and had Dawson
come on and claim the remains.

excited over the discovery, near the
Carroll County line, OF what is cer-
.ainly very large body Of Ignite, or
brown coal, and which may prove to be
good article of bituminous coal. The
bed, which is of enormous extent, has
been traced into Tippah County. and
even as far as DUCK Hill. while its
width is in one place ten miles So far,
though many borings havs bcen made,
tho bed has not been pierced, and its
thickness is consequently unknown. II
has been penetrated In many places to
the depth of several feet, and increases
in hardness and blackness as the bor-
ings are continued. t
A Birmingham expert named Ham
mond is on the ground making tests,
and has formed a syndicate in con-
junction with the we'll known law firm
OF Nugent & Melville, besides others,
including owners Of the land underlaid
by the deposits, TO prospect and ascer-
tain whether the coal is really valuable.
Meanwhile the syndicate is getting
options on all tho land beneath which
the bed is known or supposed to exist.
So far the borings have been principally
confined to the lands Of Mr.. Moody
White, one Of the parties to the syndi-
cate.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please
answer the following questions, and oblige
an old subscriber. 1t is constantly asserted
here by the Free Silverites that the Govern
ment will not pay out the silver dollars in
the Treasury, but pay gold instead. Is this
true?
On presentation at the Treasury Of silver
certificates will the Treasury refuse 10 pay
silver dollars to any amount demanded?-D.
K. MITCHELL, Corsica, o.
The Treasury will only be too glad
to pay out any quantity of silver that is
desired. 1t acts precisely as any bank
does in paying its customers the currency
they desire, or that the obligations that
they present call for. Those that want
gold, and have the obligations that call
for gold, get gold they who want paFer
get paper, and they who want silver get
silver. Practically, very few want gold,
and almost none ask for silver July /,
1895, there were 81 ,3O6,057 silver
dollars in the Treasury, which the Off
Gals would be happy to exchange for
gold or paper. Besides these there was
silver in the shape of bullion bars, which
cost the people s124,479,S49.
