Prrrssure, Nov. 13.—A Chronicle- Telegraph Wheeling, W. Va., special says: The all-im- portant official count in the mountain state has not yet been completed, and until it is no one will know definitely whether Goff or Fleminj is elected governor, or whether the elector ticket is republican or democratic. The ma- jority cannot be more than 200 or 300 either way. The republican state committee has raised its estimate from 125 and 200 to the above figures as its claim, while the democratic committee has reduced its estimate 100. The democratic claim to-day is of 400 to 500, It will probably be the latter part of the week before the official count is completed. Judge Fleming, the democratic candidate for governor, has demanded a recount of the Kanawha retarns, which county reported a majority for Goff of 1,500. In the recounts so far no important errors have been discovered. What trifling gains are made by one party are offset by similar gains for the opposite side. he returns now in justify the belief that thtre will be no material difference in the totals between the republican state and national tickets, as Goff did not run so much ahead of his ticket as was at first supposed, BOTH VESSELS WENT DOWN. AGerman and an English Vessel, with Most of Their Crews, Sunk. Lonpox, Nov. 13.—Considerable wreckage and a number of bodies have washed ashore between Llooe and Polperro, in Cornwall, dur- ing the last day or two. One of the bodies has been identified as that of Captain Meyer, of the German ship Theodore Ruger, from Hamburg for Sydney. Articles that have come ashore have also been recognized as belonging to both that vessel and to the Cunard steamer Nantez, with which the Theodore Ruger was in collision 36 miles off the Lizard. There is now no doubt of the total loss of both vessels with mostof the crew of the Nantes and a part of the ship’s crew. The survivors who lended at Trouville, include sixteen of the Theodore Ru- er's and two of the Nantes’ crew. It is be- a all the others went down with their vessels. ——>—__ THE FREIGHT RATE WAR.

Opening Session of the Twelfth General Assembly in Indianapolis. Ispranarouis, Ixp., Nov. 13.—About the hotel corridors this morning the delegates to the twelfth general assembly of the Knights of Labor were busily engaged discussing mat- ters of interest and importance to the order. General Master Workman Powderly arrived early this morning and was at once taken ‘to breakfast, after which he was closeted with Acting Secretary Hays and other members of the executive board until the time of meeting. BARRY ON HAND WITH HIS CHARGES, Conspicuous in thejobby of the Grand Hotel was Thomas B. Barry, of Michigan, leader of the fight against Powderly.

Three Charred Bodies Found in the Ruins of the Chattanooga Hotel. Cuarttaxooea, Texn., Nov. 13,—Three bodies were recovered this morning from the ruins of Bryant's European hotel, which was destroyed by fire last night. They have been identified as Eula Jones, white, a cham! 5 Rigger, of Atlanta, Ga., and Thomas Moore, of Bloomington, Ill. "The latter two were guests, ‘The young woman who was burned was caught by a fi timber near the center of building. Rigger had escaped once and went back to recover his valise, but was caught on @ stairway and slowly roasted to death. His clinched hands were filled with hair which he tore from his head in the agonies of his fright- ful death. Moore’s body was charred a! crisp. Search is in progress for other bodies, but it is thought no more will be found. deesatae sas BIG FIRE IN BROOKLYN. Watson’s Stores and Great Quantities of Wheat Destroyed—Loss $550,000. New Yonx, Nov. 13.—There was a destructive five this morning at Watson's stores, extending from 150 to 156 Furman street, which are about idway between the Fulton and Wall street Brooklyn, People passing along Furman street at 7 o'clock say that there was no fire to be seen, yet seven minutes later the whole interior of No. 150, in which the ma- chinery of the grain elevator is located,appeared to be inablaze, Two alarms were sounded, and ina few minutes brought all the fire engines in the district to the spot. ‘The fire boat Seth Low also repaired to the scene. The propert; is owned by Col. Watson and leased to the Ful~ ton Grain Milling Co., who bad 350,000 bushels of oats, wheat, and corn in the stores, The company has an elevator at the end of the pier, which is about 800 feet from the stores, and the grain is run through the shute into the third story of the building No. 150. After this building had been gutted the flames communicated to Nos. 152, 154 and 156. and before they were checked, the interior of the stores were pretty well burned ont. Thousands of bushels of wheat, corn, and oats flowed down from the dif- ferent stores and covered up half the streets. The loss on rain is about $400,- 000, and on esshtiecy about $25,000. The loss on the building is about $100,000, making a total of #550,000. istaatasy Radley TWO SWINDLED VIRGINIANS. and of other things heretofore published very generally and more fully. He showed a letter sent him at his home in’ East Saginaw, Mich., giving hotel rates and other information re- ding the general assembly. On the corner Of the envelope and in the same writing as the was the note: ‘Expelled by G. E. B.” He was very indignant at this, and said he could make ‘he x suffer in the courts if he so wished. CANDIDATES FOR POWDERLY'S PLACE. The talk of John J. Jarrett as a possible suc- cessor to Powderly caused the delegates a great deal of amusement, in view of the fact that no one but delegates are eligible to election, and Mr. Jarrett does not oe og to be a delegate— in fact, some doubt whether he is a true mem- ber of the organization. W. T. Lewis, of Pitts- burg, is about the onl; m spoken of as an opponent of Powderly’s for the chief place, and his opposition may not materialize to any great extent. The mee of the general assembly are to held in Mansur hall, a small room near the court house, used asa G. A. R. post room. It was provided with extemporized pine tables for the use of the delegates, who were seated around them. At one end of the hall were desks and chairs for the general officers. GATHERING OF THE DELEGATES. By 10 o'clock the delegates had begun to as- semble, and on their tables and chairs found a concise little K. of L. catechism for use in educational work and a circular regarding the trouble in D. A. 49 in New York. This circular gave the proposal of one faction for a settle- ment and the action taken by Quinn and his party when it was sent to them. The plan was that all the suspended officers and local as- semblies be reinstated; that all officers in the two organizations resign; thata new election be held and a complete ‘new set of officers be elected—those having held office in the two sections being ineligible, and that each section select one-half the delegates to the general assembly. The proposal was handed to Jas. E. Quinn, who was presiding over his section November 4, 1888, and having been read, on motion, it was “‘ordered to be filed as a curiosity,” thus showing plainly that nothing further can be done toward a settlement, as the introduction to the circular reads. MR. POWDERLY CALLS THE CONVENTION 10 ORDER. It was 10:15when Grand Master Workman Powderly rapped for order, and requested all persons not regularly accredited delegates to retire from the room. The morning session will consider the report of the committee on credentials, and any trouble that is liable to arise from contests will develop at this time. THREE FEMALE DELEGATES. There are three lady delegates who are in at- tendance, and there are other ladies present + | connected with the order. Suicide of a New York Merchant.

One of them carried a small satchel like those used by the green- goods swindlers. Policeman Reen, who had @ suspicion that the men had been fleeced, accosted them. They were indig- nant, but finally agreed to go to police head- quarters with him, where it was soon ascer- tained that they had been swindled and that the satchel contained nothing but brown paper cut to the dimensions of a_ treasury note. The men gave their names as James J. Wakeman, of Water Lake, Warren county, Va., and Henry Pepper, a neighbor. Inspector Byrnes was notified and he sent an officer to escort the men to New York, where efforts will be made to find the swindlers, Wakeman paid $175 for the con- tents of the bag. oe American Stocks Flat in London.

Ms THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., ey” @ NO (2d EDITION. ANOTHER TREASURY ROBBERY. Lead and Shot, Instead of Silver Dol- lars, in Boxes from New Orleans. The Treasury officials have discovered that they have been robbed of new silver dollars. To what extent or by whom they do not yet know. The secret service detectives are mak- ing an investigation. The robbery was dis- covered several days ago, and it has been kept an intense secret until Tae Star learned of the loss to-day. The mint at New Orleans has been overloaded with new silver coin, and to relieve it the department is shipping millions of dollars to Washington to be stored in the new silver vault in the Treasury court-yard. The money is shipped in sealed n_ boxes, each contain- ing twobagsof a d dollars each, When one of these boxes was opened at the depart- ment a day or two ago it was found to contain nothing but shot. A second box was opened, and one of the bags in it was found to contain nothing more valuable than lead, INVESTIGATING THE LOSS, The matter was at once reported to the Sec- retary and by him referred to the secret serv- ice officers, who are making a careful and active investigation, The boxes are care sealed before they leave the mint, and are They are taken from the depot at Washington to the Treasury build- ingin a express wagon, caged in on all sides with heavy steel wire and guarded by representatives of the express company and of the Treasury, who are heavily armed, and eit on the boxes within the cage. Every care that can be thought of is taken to guard loss, and the detectives are puzzled to know how it was possible to substitute the shot for the silver dollars. They are shipping a great amount of silver, and it is impossible to tell at once how extensive the ocean Fe. been. The express company are responsible for any loss while in their hands, SYSTEMATIC STEALING. “The loss was first brought to the attention of Acting Secretary Thompson on Wednesday morning, the day after the election, and he put the detectives at work at once, Further investigation showed that small amounts had been taken from each of a number of boxes. The indications are that there is systematic stealing being done, and it may amount to a large sum, but how large they are unable to estimate, The department will probably hold that the express company is responsible, but it will e some titae to learn the extent of the loss, THE ROBBERY WAS DISCOVERED when the seals of the boxes were examined. It was found that instead of the Government seal put on at the mint at New Orleans, the wax bore the impression of a silver quarter. The original seal had been broken, the money ab- stracted, and this method of hiding the fraud had been resorted to. Mr. Bell, chief of the secret service, says that he believes the thieving was certainly done after the boxes left the mint and before they were delivered at this department. He says the EXPRESS COMPANY I8 RESPONSIBLE. If the official clerks doing up the packages had done the stealing they could have used the government seal to fasten the boxes again, Mr. Bell has on his desk some of the shot that were found in one of the boxes. They are new No. 6 and No. 4 mixed, and were probably bought for the purpose to which they were ap- plies FOR THE INAUGURATION. Messrs. Lemon and Warner Appointed to Have Charge of the Finances. Mr. A. T. Britton has appointed Mr. George E. Lemon, chairman of the committee on finance, to receive subscriptions for ‘defraying the expenses of the inauguration ceremonies. Mr. Lemon at once prepared a subscription book, and before noon had $5,000. Subscrip- tions will be received at 615 15th street, be- tween 10 and 12 and4and 5. The subscribers sign with the understanding that the amounts opposite their respective names will be re- funded after the inauguration in whole or in part, provided the sale of tickets, privileges, &c., enables the finance committee s0 to do. One-third of each subscription is to be paid at once, one-third December 15, and one-third January 15, Subscriptions as small as $10 will be received, but those not exceeding $50 are expected to be cash payment. ‘he first organization to announce its inten- tion of coming to Washington for the inaugtra- tion, is a republican club of New Jersey. Mr. Britton to-day also appointed Mr. B. H. Warner, president of the lumbia national bank, as treasurer of the inauguration com- mittee. When a Star reporter asked Mr. Britton to- day when he wonld appoint the other members of the committee he said: will take time for consultation with all parties interested, so as to be sure to te a committee that will be satis- factory. The first to appoint of course will be the executive committee.” “Do you know how large a committee you will appoint.” “No,” said Mr, Britton, ‘I want to make it as small in numbgrs as possible, and at the same time make it representative of all the interests | bi concerned. —____ THE CITY POST-OFFICE.

The Commissioners to-day received a long petition, signed by 180 tax-payers and residents of Anacostia, praying that the number of sa- loons on Bridge “street and at the junction of Monroe and Harrison streets be reduced, as they are ut the entrance to the village and greatly hinder desirable persons from locating among them.

In addition to the distinguished members of the council who were present the Episcopalians of the city were well represented, and every seat in the spacious edifice reserved for the public was occupied. Shortly after 10 o'clock the clerical and lay members of the council began to enter the church and take the seats reserved near the altar. Then presently the music of the proces- sional was sounded from the organ presided over by Mrs. L. A. Pearson and the large audi- ence arose to their feet. From a side door in the chancel issued the long procession of the oe They all wore the bishops’ own of white lawn and black silk, that of ishop Doane’s having the red cape of Oxford University.

BISHOP WHIPPLE’S SERMON. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Whip- ple, of Minnesota, whose venerable appearance is increased by the long hair which falls upon his shoulders. He is regarded in the church as the apostle of the Indians, and during his long episcopate of twenty-nine years, with the elo- quence of his tongue and the force of his per- sonal energy, he done a great deal for the cause of thered men. Bishop Whipple has a strong voice, and does not use notes, and his preaching is powerful and effective. In begin- sp Lae discourse, the bishop repeated some of the bible promises as to the glory and suc- cess of the church. These words, he said, are the sure promise of God that the labors and trials of the church will be crowned with suc- cess, This is A MISSIONARY AGE. There isno place in the world where the gospel of Christ cannot be carried. Barriers have been removed, closed doors opened, and the facilities of intercourse increased, He wished to speak of the Progress of the king- dom, and recounted the noble deeds of Living- ston and other workers in the mission field of Africa, He said that the only dealers in the Ties slave trade to-day were the followers o THE FALSE PROPHET, and that fact may be regarded as indicative of the progress of that faith. As the result of the work in Africa, there are now bishops of the church there and godly ministers doing the work of the church. He spoke of the growth of the missions in Australia and in the islands of the South Pacific. He reviewed the work done in China and Japan, and com- mended the heroism of the mission- aries in the vicinity of the Hudson Bay. The early work of the missionary bishops and min- isters of the church in this country he recog- nized as the foundation for the present pros- perity of the church. To-day, he said, one- tenth of the entire population of the globe were English-speaking People, and he regarded it as a providence of God that after Spain had claimed the territory of the new world, that now it was UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE. He thought that there was a significant les- son in these facts. He believed that God de- signs that the church should lead on the work of redeeming the world, and that the church should hold the olive branch of peace over all who love the Saviour. From the review of what the past showsall christians should be led to ask the personal question, ‘What am I doing to hasten the coming of His kingdom? What lonely missionary have I prayed for?” He spoke of the luxuries of dress and of home, and said that in view of the pressing needs of God's work it was a matter that each one should prayerfully consider as to what can be done for the best interests of the missionary cause, Since the last general convetion Bishops Elliott, Wells, Roberts, Harris, Dunlop, Greene, Potter, Lee and Stevens have passed amy. These deaths, he said, were a warning of the shortness of time in which to do the work. Inconclusion he commended them all to greater diligence and faith, THE CLOSING SERVICES, Upon the conclusion of the sermon the offer- tory sentences were read by Rev. Dr. Lang- ford, the secretary of the board of missions, The choir sang an offertory while the offerin; for foreign and domestic missions were col- lected. The communion service was then held, which was participated in by the members of the council. Bishop Paret ‘administered the communian, assisted by Bishops Whitaker, Watson, and Thompson. Upon’ the conclusion of the service the shops retired from the chancel, BISHOP WILLIAMS, In a few moments Bishop Williams, who is the presiding bishop of the council, came upon the altar followed by the secretary of the coun- cil, Rev. Dr. Henry Anstice, of New York. Bishop John Williams, of Connecticut, is the residing bishop of the general convention, ie has a tall, slight form and his white locks are partially covered with a velvet cap. He has a strong face, giving indications of the in- tellectual force which has placed him in the front rank of the clergy. THE COUNCIL WAS CALLED TO ORDER and the roll was called by the secretary. Upon motion of Bishop Paret, 1 o'clock the coun- cil adjourned for lunch, which was served in the room at the rear of the church by the ladies of the Episcopal churches of the city. ‘The secretary announced that the council would hold a session this evening and_to-mor- row the sessions would be at 9 2, and 8 o'clock, MEMBERS PRESENT.

Drs, Joshua Kimber, W. 8. Lang- ford, E. M. Mott and Rev. Dr. Bradley, of St. Luke’s parish, Brooklyn.
