ARBITRATION TREATY SIGNED TO-DAY
PRESIDENT DoNAHUEs SPEECH
He Referred to Waterbury's Late Un-
 pleasantness,

South Norwalk, Oct 14.-The annual report of President Charles j.. Donahue was presented to the convention of the State Federation of Labor this morn- ing, and the entire session was devoted to the reading, the document covering twenty three pages Of closely type written matter.
 It began with the first official act of the president in, connection With the strike of the Assorters' and Pack ers' union of Hartford, in visiting the plant of the Capewell Horseshoe Nail Go, in company with Messrs Maher of Danbury and Dolan of Hartford, and that the committees report was ac- cepted. but the union workers refused to return under the terms of settle ment. and it was necessary to send TOT President Gompers, who effected set clement on substantially the same basis as that which the committee had arranged.
 In referring to the Waterbury strike, he said:
 "The strike of the conductors and motormen employed by the Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting Co, on it's Waterbury division, was perhaps the most noteworthy strike in our state during the year just ended, During the progress of the strike the state militia was called into Waterbury, ostensibly for the purpose of maintain ing order and protecting property. yet I am informed by prominent city official of Waterbury that the property damage sustained as result of the al- legged rfoting did not amount to $50
 "A growing tendency on the part of the opponents of organized labor Is noted in their efforts to belitt1e or ridi- cule any agency of the trades union that has proved efficient or beneficial. We are advised from certain quarters to dispense with the services of the walking delegate or business agent We are informed that our liberties as American citizens are in danger if we longer tolerate the walking delegate '
 "One of Connecticut's labor mayors has contributed to the sum total of hu- man knowledge by declaring, That the best thing that the labor unions can do is to have nothing to do with the walking delegate The fact is, he is more or less of a. grafter. The walking delegate is more a detriment to the unions than a benefit. Let us get rid of the graffers, the walking delegate and the high salaried officials
 'sTNhfs is substantially the argument of those who believe the organizations l of labor have no right, whether he be l a member or not
 The first business of importance was the admission of Peter Flynn as a dele gate from the Teamsters' union of New Haven. This is the union, a number of members of which were lately ar rested on the charge Of conspiracy dur l ing the teamsters' strike Mr Flynn will bring the matter before the con- lvention.
 Among the names of various mem bers appointed on committees was that of John F. Hacketts of Waterbury on | the committee on constitution.

.OVERPOHERED THE JAILER>.
Convicted Murderer Was Taken
 Out and Lynched.

The Man Was to Be Hung for the
 Murder of a six-Year-Old Boy
 His Lawyers Had Secured a Stay of
 Proceedings and the People Took the
 Case in Their Own Hands.
 Hamilton, Mont, Oct 14.-Walter Jackson. the convicted murderer of Fonnie Buck, a six-year-old boy, was taken from the county jail here last night by a mob and lynched.
 Shortly before midnight 75 masked men, all armed with rifles or shotguns, forced their way through the rear of the jail and overpowered Jasler Stephens, who was able to offer but slight resistance. Jackson, was found cringing in the darkest portion of his cell. He pleaded piteously for mercy but was rushed out into the street where the mob had already provided themselves with rope. This was quickly thrown over an electric light pole and the moose placed about Jack sons neck. He was asked if he had anything to say but only pleaded for mercy. The mob then pulled him into the air, after which they quietly dispersed.
 The identity of the mob leaders is unknown Thirty-five minutes after the lynching Jackson's body was cut down by the sheriff and coroner and removed to the morgue.
 The murder of little Fonnie Buck was peculiarly atrocious crime. When the boys body was found 1t was horribly mutilated. Suspicion pointed to Jackson and when he was arrested a lynching was narrowly averted. His trial quickly followed and a verdict was returned within two hours. He was sentenced to be hang ed but his attorneys appealed to the supreme court.

 It is stated that by the death of Archbishop Kain, Bishop J. J. Glen non becomes archbishop of St Louis without further ceremony or formality. Last spring he was appointed by Rome co-adjutor bishop of St Louis with the right of succession. The appointment was made in this form because of the anticipated event which has now taken place.

THE WOLCoTT FAIR.
Nearly Every Vehicle in Town Doing
 Business To-day.

Business To-day.
 Once every year the town of Vol colt arouses itself from it's peaceful slumbers, opens its eyes to daylight, bestirs itself and puts on little a. pearanee of life and vigor. Except for this one day of awakening it is doubt full if anybody except the orderly inhabitants of that rural village would know that such place is in existence. But on this one day the whole town is aroused. Everyone is hustling anG bustling around. They seem to consid- CT that the eyes of the entire country are riveted upon them. The day Is the day when the renowned Wolcott fair occurs The day when the farm CTS for miles around abandon the plough and with their wives and sweet hearts journey on foot in carriages or ox-carts to the scene of the fair. But the fair draws it's patronage not only from the farmers in this vicinity but from all classes of people in this city.
 Each year the fair is an1iously awaited. Hundreds of people from this city drive or walk out there. Some go for the ride, others for the fun which they will have with the rustic visitors. others to see the sights and have piece of the pie that mother used to make or glass of good old cider. This year was no exception. The crowd which went to the fair was larger than in any former year. All kinds of vehicles were engaged. In fact it was impossible to hire a team in the city this morning. Single, double teams. four-in-hands. buses. tally-hos, trucks. all came in handy to-day. There were about ten buses and every one was packed. Hacks were also en- gagged. The truck which is used In carrying scenery. from the depot to thc local theaters. was also made service able A number of canvas chairs were placed on it and about forty persons occupied them. Over 5000 people were in attendance at the fair.
 Sheriff Mcdonald and squad of local police were doing duty at Il ! fair.

Made In Less Than a Year~OurpuC
 of Kimberly Field is Decreasing, and
 May Be Cause of Raise in Price.
 New York, Oct 14.-Leading diamond merchants in this city have received cabled advices from their brokers in London, Amsterdam and Antwerp that the diamond selling syndicate of the De Beers Go of South Africa has ad- 5vanced the price on all small rough goods per cent and the price of the larger rough diamond 10 per cent. The syndicate handles the entire output of the De Beers Go, which produces, 1t is said, about 95 per cent of the total out put of the world The advance is the third since February and diamonds were then selling higher than they have been at any time since the con solidatton of the South African mines in the seventies.
 Accompanying the cables advices from the diamond market centers of Europe indicating that conditions there are unprecedented for thirty years. German buyers have invaded Antwerp and Amsterdam, the princi- pal cutting cities of the continent, and purchased all the cut and polished goods in sight. Another feature of the new market conditions is that Eu- ropean dealers have refused to sell goods on time.
 The reasons given for the advance are manifold, but the general opinion seems to be that the output of the Kimberley field is decreasing. Dia. mond importations to this country show decline recently.

LYING NEAR DEATHS DOOR
President of the Chicago Meat
 Cutters Union

He Was Assaulted Nearly a Month
 Ago By Men Who Oppose His
 Style of doing business-Det
 Have Been at Work on the Case and
 the Guilty Ones will Soon Be Ar
 rested.
 Chicago, Oct 14.-Michael Donnelly, international president of the Amalga- ted Meat Cutters and Butcher Work men, lies at his home, says the Trib- une recovering from vicious assault that is alleged to have been instigated by the labor leaders who are opposed to his attempts to purify the Chicago Federation of Labor.
 Donnelly was attacked on the night of September while returning from meeting of the Packing Trades coun- | cil, the central trade union body of the stockyards. For ten days the doc tors expressed little hope of his re- covery and gave out report that he was suffering from a physical break down caused by overwork.
 Private detectives were set at work and they have just announced that the 6IllIy LACn tIO huUWu duu Will De dE- rested as soon as the instigators of the assault are discovered
 When Donnellys on July 5 charged l the secretary of large employers association with fixing labor leaders he was told by outside parties to
 keep his hands off, He continued the fight and as result charges were made against several of the most prominent officials of trade un- ions in the city. Then came threats of personal violence, but these Don- nelly ignored, declaring that he would clear up the case at any cost. l The attacks on Donnelly s came just at the opening of conferences between the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen and the packing interests of the country. Donnelly was to have acted as spokesman for the men and all knew that his ab- scence from the meetings would mean demoralization. His close advisers and the officials of the union realized this and gave out the report that he 1 was temporarily ill Vice-president 0. D. Schmidt of the union took his place at the head of the committee which dealt with the packers and the men were pacified with the informs ton that he was working under Don- nelly's orders.
