Convention.

The eighth annual convention of the
Colorado Federation of Labor assem-
bed at Elks hall in this city last Mon
day afternoon. President j. G. Sulli-
van of Cripple Creek presiding The
convention opened with about one hun
dred delegates, ,. pre-ent ting subordi
nate unions in nearly every field of or
ganized labor IN the state.
Just what the convention has ac-
con,plished we have been unable to as
certain as its business has been trans
acted in executive session, bnt there is
reason to believe that no legislation of
a very drastic character has been eth
er contemplated or attempted. The
first afternoon was devoted to purely
formal matters, such as the organiza-
tion of the convention. the appoint
ment of committees, etc.
A deliberative body, like the Feder-
alton Of Labor, is necessa. lily COM
PEELED to make haste slowly. as its pro-
ceedings are largely determined by
commit ees which have important
work to consider before r. ports can lie
made and presented to the convention
for final determination.
The reports of Presieent Sullivan and
Secretary Waters were made to the
convention on Tuesday. They showed
II gratifying growth in the member
shl,, of the fede alton and a fina cial
condition unequalled at any previous
period in its history. A number of
resolutions were read at Tuesdays
session and referred to the proper COM
mittees, among them being one in re-
gard to the Cripple Greek strike.
Upon an invita- ion from warIen
CleghoIn the delegates proceejed in a
body to the penitentiary Tuesday even
ing where they were entertained at a
vaudeville performance given 10y the
convicts.
Among the things whice it is under
s ood will be considered by tie conven-
tion is u general strike throughout the
state for an ght-hour day and the
ma ter OF dual unions in the same
trade. II has been found that in a
number OF western cities organizations
holding charters from the American
Federation Of Labor have come into
conflict with those no ding charters
from the American Lab Union and to
prevent this an effort will ha made 10
compel these conflicting organizations
to affiliate ~ith he national body of its
own Craft.
Other weighty questions will no
doubt be introduced for the considera-
tion uf the convention, and that they
will be disposed of in wise and iuci-
cious manner there seems to be no
doubt for more intelligent and capa-
BILE body of men Than the Federation
Of Labor never convened in Canon City
in deliberative capacity. The meet
ing will probably adjourn today,

VIII Pot IN Signal Bells.

In pursuance Of the recent order Of
the city council the ID. q X. q. railroad
company is arranging to install an
electric.signal bell at the Ninth street
crossing for the purpose OF warning
people Of the approach of its trains.
A part of the apparatus has already
arrived, and 1t is expected that every
thing will be in working order by the
end Of the week, thus minimizing the
danger to human life ut that point.
The Chicago Bell system. which is to
be put in here, has been endorsed by
the City of Denver to the extent that
the municipal council has passed an
ordinance permitting the railways to
take OF the fingmen and install the
bell, considering 1t the better method.
The same action has been taken in
Colorado Springs, Greeley, Boulder
and other :places where the bell has
been given trial.
The proposed signal 10 In every way
superior to Hagmen, a. it will ring
constantly whenever the occasion ar
rises; in other words It is on duty
twelve hours every day. and ~ many

ped from Chicago on the 18th INST,
and, ss the preliminary work has al
ready been done, It will take but =
short time to get the bell In opera

ESCAPING CONVICT WAS SHOT.
captured WardeR's Wife and Used
Her to Shield Himself.

CANYON CITY, Colo, June 23.-
Kirch Kuykendall, convict at the
state penitentiary, was shot and killed
|. while attempting to escape with five
other desperate prisoners. AS DR.. I.
d. Palmer and the hospital steward
were making the morning rounds Kuy-
kendall complained of being ill, and the
doctor prepared to make an examina-
ton. The prisoner drew bottle sup
posed to contain nitroglycerin and or
dered the two men to throw up their
hands. They did SO. Kuykendall and
five other conyictsA then oyerpoWered
Cellhouse Keeper Sieghorn and Stew
ard John Keefe. The four prison Off
cials thus made prisoners were strip
ped of their clothing, which the con-
victs put on.
Taking the doctor and the steward
with them, the mutineers passed to-
ward the gates. On the way they cap
tured Warden John @, Cleghorn's wife
and forced her to go along, using her
as shield to prevent the guards from
firing at them. The inner and outer
gates were blown off their hinges with
dynamite which the convicts had Sc
cured, but an attempt to force the ar
mory was foiled,
Meantime Warden CleghGrp had ar
rived from town and, collecting the
guards, ordered them to shoot the fugi-
tives whenever an opportunity present
ed itself to do SO without injuring Mrs.
Cleghorn. Holding knives over the wo-
man, the mutincers shouted that they
would kill her If the guards fired. Mrs.
Cleghorn tainted. and the convicts then
took to their heels, pursued by the
guards. Kuykendall was killed by
Yardmaster John Clark after shouting:
"I'll never be taken alive. I'll not go
back to that hole"
James Armstrong was overtaken by
Will Cleghorn, son of the warden, and
was severely beaten over the head with
revolver, but was not seriously
wounded. The other fugitives who
were taken alive were Thomas Fisher,
Thomas Failon, c. Cordova and Robert
Kane.

PEATs INSANE IN BLAZING HOME
Millionaire Wall Paper Mans Child
Burned and May Die.

Burned md May Die.
GREENWICH. Conn, June "a
More misfortune has befallen Alfred
Peats, a wealthy wall paper manufac-
turer, who last November while at the
height of his success in his control of
the wall paper trade OF the country was
literally driven insane by prosperity.
Alta Crest, his handsome residence,
was burned to the ground last night.
His eight-year-old daughter, Geneyieve,
is so badly burned that she will die,
while Mrs. Peats, who rescued the lit
tie girl and ran with her from the
burning building, also received serious
injuries.
Mr.. Peats was confined in one of the
wings of the house in the care Of sew
eral attendants. Excited by the fire, he
began to struggle violently, and it took
FIVE men to control him. They wrapped
him in blankets and took him to the
house of neighhor.
All the servants fled from the house.
which was destroyed, with all the treas
ures it contained. Mrs. Peats, nearly
frantic over the sufferings of her little
daughter, gave no thought to the fire,
and so there was considerable delay be-
fore an alarm was sent in. The fire.
men could do nothing to save the place
and confined their efforts to protecting
the other buildings on the grounds.

TiIImRn Claims That He Cannot Get
Fair Trial at Columbia.


COLUMBIA, S. c., June % The cir
cult court, Judge ID. A. Townsend pre-
siding, heard a motion for change Of
venue in the case Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor James H. Tillman, charged with
numbering N. g. Gonzales, editor of
the State, last January. Tillman pro-
duced about 800 affidavits' to show that
a fair trial could not be had in this
county because of prejudice against
the defendant. The principal affida-
Wits were made by defendants counsel
and friends and asserted that the Co
lumbia newspapers and preachers had
melted feeling against Tillman by their
references to the case.
The prosecution presented about 400
affidavits in reply. Practically all the
ministers of Columbia asserted that
they have made no reference to the case
from their pulpits. Newspaper mon, in
cluding Messrs. W. +. and A. e. Con
zales, respectively editor and publisher
of the State, stated in affidavits that
the Columbia papers had conspicuously
and carefully refrained from inham-
matory denunciations of the defendant,
and these assertions were backed by
statements from bank presidents, law
yers, physicians, college professors and
merchants.
Tillman's mother, wife and child
were in court part Of the time, as was
his uncle, Senator 3. r. Tillman.

Claim That Employers Have Not
Kept Faith.


PHILADELPHIA, June 23, - The
textile workers employed in the carpet
mill Of Ivans, pietz & Metzger, who re-
turned to work last week, struck again.
They claim that all of the operatives
excepting the dyers were granted a
new scale on the basis of sixty hours
pay for ffty-hve hours work. The
dyers demanded an increase of 81 a
week in wages, which was refused.
The other hands assert also that they
were notified by the firm that begin
ming this week wages would be paid on
the old scale The employees therefore
remained away from the plant.
The executive committee of the Cen
tral Textile Workers union has sent
kilograms to the dyers employed by
IYans, Dietz s. Metzger In the compa-
nys dyeing plants at Reading. Pa;
