DEWEY’S CRITICISMS. ‘When rogues fall out honest men get their due.” These were the words of Mr. A. M. Dewey, for several years a promi- nent and active official in the Knights of Labor, and at one time the editor of the official journal of that order in Philadel- his views concerning the present rupture between General Master Workman Powder- | ly and Secretary-Treasurer Hayes of the general assembly, now in session at the “Powderly and Hayes have for years been inseparable friends, and thoughtful men in the labor they have fallen out to hear these charges and countercharges of corruption and fraud. The truth of the matter is that both men have outlived their usefulness to the cause of labor reform. They have for years so manipulated the records of the general office as to shut out of the annual con tion all men who were not in sympathy with themselves, and have thus perpetu- ated themselves and their personal friends in office, at the expense of everything dear to the hearts of the masses in the order. “When the general assembly met at Rich- mond in 1886 there were more than a mil- lion of members represented. ‘There was money in the treasury and future pros- | pects were bright. Powderly’s salary was raised from $1,500 to $5,000 a year, and he was given additional authority to govern the order just about as he saw fit. From that time the order began to wane, both in numbers and influence. The principles it espoused were noble ones, and naturally attracted ‘to it thoughtful minds and bright intellects interested in the welfare of the common people. But the general executive board, of which Mr. Powderly was the chairman and principal director, soon developed into an organized conspir- 'y, and any member of the order or em- ployer of labor who did not sneeze when the board took snuff was placed on the rack and tortured to the extent of *heir ability to inflict punishment. ‘The boycott, | a powerful but dangerous weapon, was used to destroy the business of manu- | facturers, while the, powers of the execu- tive board were used to suppress all «n-| position from within by the expulsion of such members as did not approve of such un-American methods of settling labor disputes. | “Mr. Powderly asked to be protected from | criticisms by members, and he was empow- | ered to arbitrarily expel members at will without trial or hearing of any kind, and he | used his power freely, It w ly natural that the once great order should dwin¢ to almost nothing under n i | Intelligent, independent men would not sub- mit to such treatment. It was anarchy of the most offensive kind. Powderly and Hayes have both been sowing the wind several years, w they are reapin the whirlwind in a manner little expected.

And, while | he is no better than the others. he is pi forming the honest men in the rank and | file of the labor movement a service in thus showing to the world the true character and | disposition of the greatest double the labor movement ever produced. Powderly is a! veritable Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. His ability as an orator, coupled with an un-| usually fertile brain, has enabled him to | pull the wool over the eves of nearly every | one with whom he has come in contact. He has for years hoodwinked his dupes into believing that he is working himself death in their interests. while at the same time he was studying law and writing ar- ticles for magazines and books for publica- tion in his luxurious library at Scranton. — | Those of us who knew him intimately | were aware of his duyiicity, but if we were | to say a word he would den disciplined for daring to eriti officer.

Lake of St. Louis, Joseph { K. Buchanan of Depver, J. A. Labadie of Michigan, and many others equally as con- spicuous ‘as advocates of the principles of the K. of L., are now on the outside of that order. These are the men who made it possible | for Mr. Powderly to secure to himself the | credit of leading the most compact and | numerous labor organization on earth, and ut the same time draw a salary equal to that of a member of Congress. But they were in his way, and must be sacrificed in order that his power might aot be jeopar- dized. nt of N York, George Robert Schilling of | What May Result. “What will be the effect on organized labor if Mr. Hayes proves his charges | against the master workman?” “It may result In the reorganization of the Knights of Labor under some other name. The order has been in disfavor, even among the thoughtful workingmen, for some time. Mr. Powderly himself has recognized this, and has recently recom- mended a dissolution and reorganization. ‘That course will probably now be pursued. During the twenty-five years since Uriah Stephens of Philadelphia started the Knights of Labor nearly all the important labor legislation now on the statute books of the several states and of the general government has been secured, all directly traceable to the agitation emanating from local assemblies of that order. Too much credit cannot be given for the educational work thus performed. But what has been dene is but a tithe of what remains to be accomplished. The labor problem 1s. yet far from a solution. But the Knights of Labor, in the hands of tricksters at the general headquarters, has ceased to be a} factor in the problem. The work must now be taken up where they have laid it down, and be pus ard by other workers to a succes until labor, through education, s » emancipated itself from fra and tyranny within the ranks, as s from the un- just exnctions of many oppressors on the outside. |received the money and passed it to her. | took charge of th | how much it re: | would der | philo: There Was a Scene in Court Today Over an Infant. Mrs. Penn Had the Theatrical Craze ud Her Husband Objected—Pawn- ed the Wedding Presents. In the General Term room. before Chief Justice Bingham, this morning there was quite a scene. On Saturday last Mrs. Mame LaZelle Penn, by Mr. Jno. N. Oliver, filed a bill for divorce from Alexander Grey Penn, in which she asked the custody of the child (about twenty-seven months old), who, she charged, had been. on October 28, forcibly taken from her parents’ residence, 220 C street northwest, by the respondent and its whereabouts he refused to divulge. She asked an order requiring the production of the child. An order was made directing the child to be produced before Chief Justice Bingham yesterday morning and the case was then continued until today. This morning when the court opened the petitioner, quite a handsome girl, tastefully attired in dark dress, black hat, with white velvet trimmings, appeared with her father and mother and counsel. Mr. J. McDowell Carrington. When the case was called Mr. Oliver stated that the marshal had been unable to serve the order. Mr. Carrington said the child was in the building and sent for it. In a few moments several ladies entered, followed by the father with the child in his arms. | Hardiy had the father crossed the thresh- old when the mother rushed to the child and atiempted to take it from the father, exclaiming, “My darling baby, let me have my baby. Getting her hands under the child's arms, she attempted to raise {t from the father's 8, but he firmly held it, with one hand "s iap. Finally, the chief jus- tice directed the mother to be quiet, and Mr. Bali, the crier of thé court, going to the : , Soon ended the scene. Mr. Oliver ated that he was prepared to go on. Mr. Carringten said that he had an answer, and a few affidavits. Mr. Oliver said he would object to the allidavits being read. The co then continued the hearing until 10 o'clock tomorrow The petitioner and her friends then left, and after a few minutes, the father, with the child and friends, left by another door. The answer says that the charges are gross exaggerations; that he was married November 25, 1890, and on the samé even- ng he left for Philadelphia and went to Bridgeport, Conn., returning. in_ three or four weeks, and after living at 517 K street went to live with his father-in-law, he agreeing to pay ten notes for $25 per month, and says that she proposed to pawn the wedding presents and he went with her, He denies that he ever struck her or drew a pistol on her, and the only occasion he can recall was that on September 20, 1892, she came to him for consent to go as an AWOKE BUT TO DIE. Six Workmen Perish in a Boarding House Fire. CALAMITY TODAY NEAR BEAVER, P There Was No Water to Extinguish the Flames. FATHER AND SON LOST. BEAVER, Pa., Novy. 21.—A frightful holo- caust occurred at the government dam, two miles below this city, early this morning. Six men were burned to death and several were badly injured. The disaster occurred at the Merrill House, a three-story frame building, built for a hotel and boarding house to accommo- date the employes at the new government dam, which has been under course of con- struction for the past year. The hotel was situated upon the hillside above the rail- road and was the only buildng on the north side of the track. It was eighty-four by forty feet in dimensions and contained twenty-five sleeping rooms. It also con- tained the telegraph office, post office and a store. The proprietors were Frank J. Brad- ley and Robert Keeney. Every room in the building was occupied last night, the lodgers being men employed on the construction of the dam. i Discovery of the Fire. The fire was discovered at 4:30 o'clock by William Boilies, the colored porter. The store room was then full of flame. Bollies arose at 4 o'clock and began his usual morning work of cleaning up the rooms on the first floor. He gave the alarm by run- ning up to the second and third floors, | screaming “Fire.” The scene that followed was that of the wildest excitement. Many of the occupants of the rooms had been working a night turn and had retired only two hours be- fore. All were sleeping soundly, and when aroused became so confused that they lost all presence of mind and wandered through the hallways, unable to find a means of escape. The Victims. Six men are known to have perished, as follows: John Kelly, laborer, forty years old, lived at Woods Run. Barney Wilkes, stonecutter, aged sixty, lived on East street, Allegheny. Robert Stanley, engineer, aged thirty, re- sided with his mother in New Brighton; leaves two children, J.J, Wrenn, boss mason, aged fifty-five. His son Daniel, aged twenty-three, resided in Allegheny. aciress in some sttolling company, and on his refusal she became violent and threat- | ened to have him discharged from his gov- ernment position. He denies that she is sick and states that she appeared crazy on th f theatricals, and on Sep- tember against his remonstrance, she a theatrical company called the “Girls of California,” with which she remained thre . and when she re turned sh » had no love for him and if uin a divorce she would ’ manager.” On October tes he ‘ived a letter from his nd the next day she left with the company for Wilkesb: Pa., and he child, and after commu- with his parents, placed the child » of his mother, and he denies | je any attempts to conceal the | sabouts, | could eb Iiliy, he wife ray.

From the Pittsburg Disnateh, Thomas Jennings of the West Side pos- ses a cow that discounts all the hilly | goats in the city on taste for old rubbish, but she hasn't good digestive organs. She is a blooded cow, and has not been used to a diet of umbrellas and old cans, But dur- ing the late storm, while hay was scarce, she ate an umbrella. Tuesday she was tak- en ill, It is supposed that the umbrella opened after the cow had swallowed it. At all events, one side of the bovine became much enlarged, and the owner called tn Dr. Coleman, a veterinary surgeon, to diagnose the case. Yesterday morning he paid his patient a visit, and found an abscess in the right side of the animal near the shoulder. He was convinced that something had entered the abscess, and by the use of his pinchers he succeeded in catching hold of and pulling out one of the ribs of the umbrella. It was twenty-four inches in length, and attached to it was the brace, eighteen inches in length. Amother examination followed. and another rib was taken out. Again Inserting | his probe, the doctor came upon a soft sub- stance, which he felt certain was the lining of the lung of the cow. He gave a pull, and was rewarded in bringing out the covering of the umbrella, 24x22 inches. Another rib was also secured. ‘The animal is still living and will, doubt- less, recover, although the doctor is of the opinion that there are still other ribs under the skin. | —— Turkey's Concession to Women.

Progress of the Fight Between Him and Powder A United Press dispatch from Philadelphia Says that John W. Hayes withdrew his charges against the executive board of mal- feasance in office yesterday afternoon at the session of the Knights of Labor General Assembly. The Philadelphia Times, how- ever, declares that Hayes renewed his charges and made another one. This charge is as follows: “That within this secret order there ex- isted an inner secret order with secret agents in every great center of the order throughout the country; that this inner secret order was originated by the execu- tive board for the purpose of perpetuating in office the officers of the order who pil- fered its treasury for years.” Secretary-Treasurer Hayes then proceeded to submit to the assembly original and signed documents to prove that funds ap- propriated for the relief of strikers in vari- ous parts of the country during a period of years had, as heretofore charged by him, been appropriated to the personal uses of the general officers. Hayes was interrupted before he could finish his charges and the reading of the |documents to sustain them by Mr. Powuerly, who took the floot to explain. He said: “The funds alleged to have been misappropriated by the executive committee were to be expended by that committee re- gardless of the original intentions of the Bodies Recovered. Five of the bodies have been recovered | from the ruins, They were placed side by | side along the railrond track awaiting the | arrival of the coroner. The sixth body has | | not yet been taken out.

Within an hour from the discovery of the fire the hotel and contents were in Tuins. Not a drop of wa- ter could be secured to even cool the glow ing embers to enable the men to search for | the bodies of the dead. Their charred re- | mains were recovered with the greatest dif- fieulty and danger. They are so badly burned that none, except the remains of ; iEngineer Hughes, have as yet been posi- | y identified. | But for the anxiety of Jerry J.

They had recently been paid with checks, which had not yet been cashed. Physi- cians were summoned from Beaver, who made the injured as comfortable as possi- ble.

Work on the dam has been temporarily suspended. ——— THOUGHT TO BE A MANIAC, Murderous Assault Wife in Boston This M BOSTON, Nov. 21.—There was an attempt at murder in the dwelling of George H. Randall, a member of engine 26, at 15 In- diana street, shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. The v was Mrs, Randall, his t two months has been lying ill in the front room on the street floor of the dwelling. Mrs. Randall's skull is fracturel and there are six awful cuts on the side of her head, which were in- flict8d with an iron bar torn from the gate in the rear of the house. The perpetrator of the deed was an unknown man, who is still at large, and of whom the police have cription. ‘s daughter, about twent: old, fell asleep on a cet in the hall and she was aroused by h ise in her mother's room, Jumping to her feet she rushed toward the door and | seeing a man striking at her mother be- | gan to scream, The man had one hand under the pillo evidently searching for her mother's poc! etbook. When he heard the screams he | Grepped the bar and ran for the hall, through which he passed into kitchen and Jumped out of the window from which he As he passed Miss Randall | the man clapped his hand over her month eams. When he jumped from window his head struck the sash and ine and is now in the possession of the police, | as is also the iron bar with which. the crim2 was committed. Mrs. Randall is unconscious and the physicians state that she is liable to die at any moment. The police incline to the view that the deed was committed by an insane man who escaped from the asylum at South Boston about 6 o'clock last night the man seen by Miss Randall. — A POINT FOR MRS. MAYBRICK. A mic Found in Germ: Glycerine Which Her Husband Probably Used. LONDON, Nov. 21.—A fact is about to be made public here that by many persons is taken to throw more doubt upon the jus- tice of the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who is now under- going life imprisonment in the Woking prison on conviction of having poisoned her husband, James Maybrick of Liverpool, It was shown at the time of the trial of Mrs. Maybrick that glycerine used by Mr. Maybrick contained arsenic, but this testimony did not avail to save the pris- oner from conviction. Now Messrs. Bird & Sons of Birmingham, dealers in chemicals, inform Food and Sani_ tation, a trade paper, that shortly before the death of Mr. Maybrick they analyzed a quantity of German glycerine offered for sale to them, They discovered that it con- tained arsenic and refused to buy it. Later they learned that this same glycer- ine was sold in the midland counties, and | it is probable that some of it was purchased and used by Mr. Maybrick. —_ The Western Base Ball League.

The entire assembly jumped to their feet with him. For a mo- ment the motions and anti-motions made a babel, in which. both factions were indis- Unguishable, The motion was made and carried that | each, Messrs. Powderly and Hayes, be given another hour to conclude. Mr. Powderly occupied his hour in a oun denial of the charges made agaiwst im. “Hayes,” he said among other things, “is an ungrateful rascal. I need no proof for what I say. My long and effective service in behalf of this order is a sufficient refuta Uon of the charges of jealous subordinates.’ Mr. Hayes occupied his hour with the presentation of additional documents signed “Terr: and additional charges founded thereon. Closing he turned to Powderly and exclaimed . “Terry, all that I have charged you with you are guilty of, and I defy anybody to contradict it. My books prove it. These documents before me prove it. Deny it, if you can. The civil courts of the country— — criminal courts, Terry, will sustain m The assembly in general will today take | up the debate upon the charges of Mr. Hayes against the executive board. Delegates last night were confident that the debate would be finished this afternoon anda vote be taken on the motion to vacate the seats of the general officers. The finance committee continued its ses- sions last evening, and it was exepeted by many delegates to report today on the Hayes charges in regard to the executive board's financial methods. Three other committees—the grievance, constitution and press committees—labgred all night at the headquarters on Broad street. The Hayes-Powderly Fight. “Holland,” the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writes as follows regarding the Hayes-Powderly fight in the Knights of Labor General Assembly at Philadelphia: The story published in a Philadelphia paper on Sunday morning, and reproduced here this morning, to the effect that on Sat- urday the knights indulged in a disgraceful row culminating in the throwing of chairs, the striking of blows, and a final adjourn- ment in wild disorder, is not true. Neither is the statement that one member was so badly hurt that it w take him to the hospi bitter fight J. It is true that a is being made against Mr. oe whose deposition as chief of the| | order is earnestly desired Hayes and his friends. Powders manner have referred. ly one of discussion. It is believed here that the story as printed was given toa reporter by James A, Wright of Philadelphia, who res to the general master workman’s place, or by some of his friends. It is the plan of Mr. Powderly’s opponents to either make it so uncomfortable for him that he will resign, or to bring about action on the part of the assembly declaring all offices Vacant. After this is done it is hoped to muster enough strength on the part of the opposition to elect Mr. Wright to the post he covets. by Secretary But neither Mr. nor Mr. Hayes has acted in the ~ eee Reduced Rates to Political Conve tions, The interstate commerce commission to- day, in an opinion by Commissioner Mc- Dill, announced its decision in the case of Thomas V. Cator against the Southern Pacific Company and the Union Pacific Railway Company. The complaint was based upon the refusal of the railroads to allow reduced excursion rates from San Francisco and other California points to Omaha in July, 1892, when the national convention of the people’s party was held at that place, such reduced rates having been allowed by the railroads on account of the democratic and republican national conventions held at Chicago and Minne- apolis, respectively, in June of the same year. The commission refers to the pro- vision of the twenty-second section of the act, “That nothing in this act shall prevent the issuance of mileage, excursion or com- mutation passenger tickets,” and holds that to rule in this case that the complainant and his fellow-delegates were subjected to unjust discrimination or undue prejudice by the issuance of excursion tickets in June and the refusal to issue such tickets for a similar occasion in July would be a notice to carriers that if they do issue excursion | tickets for a given purpose they lay them- Ives under obligation to furnish them for a similar purpose whenever occasion offers or application is made. That Congress in- tended by the provision in the twenty-sec- ond section to leave the issuance of these tickets free from such restriction. Under the statute the defendants had a legal right to withhold or put into effect an open ex- cursion rate to Omaha and such right was | not affected by the fact that open excur- sion rates had been in force over their con- necting roads during the previous month. aie The Marquis of Huntly has been elected rector of the University of Aberdeen, Scot. land. found necessary ‘to | ‘ribed in the article to which 1) ‘Their contest has been whol- | \ A FINANCIAL.
