Barry lesues an Open Letter to the Delegates, Reiterating His Charges Against Powderly and Others. The Knights of Labo; INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 30.—At tho session of the Knights of Labor general assembly to day the committee on laws submitted a re port amending seotion 15 of articlo § of the coustitution 80 as to provide that the ele. ive officers shall be the general master workman, wone forcman, general secretar treasurer and general director of woman work. The general exceutive board shall consist of four members, besides the ge al master workman, and the general co- operative board shall consist of two mem bers besides the gencral worthy foreman All except the general executive board and general co-operative L be taken from the Hoor of the v, und when elected shall serve two years, This action further provides that the general worthy foreman shall be ex-ofticio chairman of the general co-operative board, A prolonged debate followed the introduc- tion of those amendments, but they wero adopted by more than a two-thirds vote. The afternoon session was taken up by the committee on law, with minor changes of the constitution, Contrary to the recommenda- tion of Powderly, the time of meeting is un- changed, which'i8 the first action yot taken against his will. 'The general masier work- man suall hereafter flll all vacancies on the board by appointment, this being a new power addcd to the office, It is now proper Jorany mombor of the goneral oxecutive board to anprove the report of the secretary- treasurer, although that was formerly per- mitted only to the zeneral master workmanu. "Ihe general assembly so desiring, may here- after declare vacan® any place on the bourd, and it can do so without at the same timo ex" pelling the officer so removed before appoint- ment.

Predictions might bemado, but turther than that Powdorly will be re-clected they would be unroliable. . B. Barry to-night issued a formal open letter to the delegates. He says: “In vio- lation of all law of knighthood and justice, you have denied me s tair trial or opportu- nity to be heard in my defense, and by your action placed yourselves in full accord with the unlawful and unwarranted action of the general exceutl board, whom I had charged with irregularities, and who, being unable to answer my charges, and fearing to meet me, resorted to ail manner of intrigue to override the constitu- tion and deny to me the right of a fair trial, such as is guaranteed to every Knight of Labor. Your action is contrary to all law and decency. You have outraged justice, lowered your manhood and misrepresented your constituents by your vote, and you de- pend on false reports and burying your ac- tions in silence on your return homo, as has been done after past sessions of the gencral assombly. This timo your constituonts will be given the truth by those who have_ the courage of their manhood. Sinco you have refused to give me an opportunity to defond mysclf, [will_now publish & fow of the charges I made, and I defy you, or those whom you sustained by your votes, to prove tnem false.” He goes on to enumerate the charges already published. Mr. Barry proposes to_agitate untfi the general assembly of the Knights of Labor adjourns. He will then put out his organ- 1z0r88 and look after the formation of his new order, which will bo called the Brother- hood of United Labor. Al IO Ex-Knight Barry Very Indignant.

'l‘ulflz:ums of sympathy and expressing a de- sire to join Barry in & new order bas becn received from many parts of the country by him. These came in several instances from ofticers of local assemblies of the Knights of Labor, and Barry counts on their support in his new organization. e s ) 28 She Didn't Go.

He started and veached the precinet. Ar- riving there he found twenty-five men m dine. He knew if he took his place at the foot he would miss his train. He didn’t want to do this, Most of the men in line were laborers. Mr. Pullman went to the one ahead and ofered him 85 for his place in the line, but the man wouldn’t sell, Mr, Pullman approached every man with the same offer and met with similar refusal until he got down to the sixteenth, who took the offor. The line moved slowly and Mr, Pull- man kept looking at his watch and grew i atient as he took the lockstep. Af- what seemed to him ao hour he reuched the window and handed in his ballot. “‘George M.

Cassell’s Maguazine, One Sunday, young Sir Walter Scott offered his um- brella to a young lady of much beauty, who was coming out of church during shower. ‘The umbrelia was graciously accepted, and Scott fell in love with the borrower, who turned out to be Mar- garet, daughter of Sir John Belches. His uttentions to the lady continued for about six years, when sho married a banker, who proved to be one of Scott's mostgenerous friends when his time of troubles came. The story of this, his first and only deep passion, is recorded in the diary that Scott kept in 1827, from which it would seem that there may have been some misunderstanding between the young people. Probably it was pride which led him to engage him- self, within a year, to Mademoiselle Charpentier, or Miss Carpenter, as she was usually called, the daughter of a Freuch royulist who had died early in the revolution. She wade on the whole a very good wifo, only to be protected by Scott from every care, and not onc to share his lecpbr anxieties, or to pa ticipate in his dreams. Yet Mrs. Scott was not devoid af spirit and solf-con- trol, For instanee, when Jeffrey, hav- ing iewed ‘*Marmion™ in the kdin- burgh in that deprecating and omnis- cient tone which + was th considered the evidence of critical acumen, dined with Scott on ther vevy day on which the review had ' appeared, Lady, then Mrs, Scott, behaved to him through the whole evening with the greatest polite- ness, but fired this peting shot in her broken English sy hg ook his leay “Well, good night, :Mr. Jeffrey—dey tell me you have sbused Scoti in de Review, and I hopé Mr, Constable has paid you well forwriting it.” Though Lady $coft’s charactor was not a very dec 2, 'ghe had a kind and true heart. Ten days before her death, Scott entered in his dairy: ‘‘still wel- coming me with a smile, and asserting she is better,” In her last illness she would always reproach her husband and children for their melancholy faces, even when that melancholy was, as she well knew, due to the approach- ing shadow af her own death.

Mrs, Harrison is also in receipt of numer- ous lettors stating that several “Carrio Hur- rison” had been christened since elcction day and to all such communications she promptly replios; but _the numerous applications for office that are belng mailed to her receive no attention, and are consigned to the wasto busket. It may be_ stated that this rule has beon adopted by Mrs. Harrison and will be impartially observed. No communication of a political character will receive attention. While Prosident-clect Harrison was read- g nis mail this afternoon hie came across a bluuk circular sent out by a Philadelphia newspaper, offoring a prizo of § to the per- son who would fill in_the correct names of C eral Harrison's cabinet. As he read the circular it seemed to suggest au idea, for he remarked: **[ think I could win that prize, but I won't try for it.” Cabinet building continues to occupy the attention of political circles, and one can hear cabinet talk everywhere except in Gen- eral Harrison's house, and it the president- eloct has progressed far enough to give this important subject even its initiatory consid- cration he keeps his own counscl absolutely inviolate, tor his most intimate personal friends ure known to have stated that they know nothing whatever upon this subjec Among General Harrison’s prominent out- of-town callers to-dny were Governor-elcet Hovey and Colonel George C. Eriedly, of Lafayotte, ex-chairman of the re: publican stato committee. Governor- eloct - Hoyey said he passed & very ploasant hour with General Harrison. Mutual congratulations opened their visit, and the campaign was talked over as it re- lated to and resulted touching Indiana. Gen- eral and Mrs. Harrison had for their guests mt tea this evening Vice Chairman J. S. Clarkson and wife and Sergeant-at-Aris Swords, of the national committee, and wife. Later in the evening Judge and Mrs. W. A, Woods joined the party, which compriscd alg Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs. Brown and Miss Stricile. The ovening was passed in social conversation. The president-eloct and Colonel Clarkson, how- ever, held quite o long talk alone in thé front parlor, while the ladies and other gentlemen chatted 1n an adjoining parlor. Colonel Clarkson was requested by Geueral Harri- son o stop ovor en route home and make him a visit, and whilo it is_thought that the visit purtook very largely of a social charac- ter, there are good indications that politics were somewhat discussed, porhups even to the extent of cabinet suggestions. Colonel Clarkson states that he had much to say to General Harrison about the business of the nutional committee, but declined to give any expression of a political tendency bearing on his pleasant visit. Mrs, Judge Woods, who is among Mrs. Harrison's warmest friend in this city, is & native of Iowa, and an old acquaintance of both Mrs. Clarkson and_Mrs. Swords, the Iatter having been one of her bridesmaias. This former acquaintaoce mado the littlo party to-night more of a reunion of old friends than & formal gathering of visitors. Harrison leaves to-morrow morning 1o visit her parents, ex-Senator and Mrs. Saunders at,Omaha, Neb, Among the presonts recoived by General Harrison to-day was & richly bound volume containing ilinstrations of character taken from Munkasry's famons painting, “Christ bofore Pilate,” which huppens now to be on exhibition in this city. The present was from John Wannamaker, of Philadelphia. “Thore scems to be practically no founda- tion for the published reports that ex-S tor Warner Miller, ex-Senator Platt, tor Frank Hiscock, and Chauncoy M. Depew will accompany Vice President-elect Morton and wife on their coming visit to General and Mrs, Hurrison. Mr. Morton's contem- plated visit is looked upon as an interchange of sociul amenities, and no unusual political Harrison's pres significance i3 at this juncture usso- ciated with his visit, the date of which will _probably = be announced at an early day, Itis reliably statod that General Harrison has determined not to go east, Nothing is known here of the reported invitation extended to Senator Allison, Those in position to form a good opinion think that in view of Vice Chairman Clark- son’s intimate friendship with Senator Alli- son he may practically be regarded as the latter's representative in any intorchange of political views between tho senator and the president. Should Senator Allison visit the president-clect close upon the heels of his friend, Coloncl Clarkson, such a visit would doubtless be regarded here with considerable significance. There 1a pretty good reason for belicving that a goodly part of Vice Chairman Clarkson's Conversation with CGeneral Harrison was to the political situation in New York state, as viewed by the former after four months residence and commingling with the Jeaders of the factions in tho Bmpire state, This conclusion 1s 1 from the fact that Colonel Clarkson admits that he had given his journalistic interests scarcely a moment's altention since the campaign opened. His paper, the lowa State Koeistor, bas been odited and managed entirely by his brother during that Furthermore, he gave the of tho campaign far more persouul n than the western, which was munaged principally by General Harrison's home fricnds. 1t is’ this experi ence with, and fresh political knowledge of, castern men and affairs that Colone!

Nasaviree, Tenn., Nov. 20.—-A special from Dickson, Tenn., gives the particulars of a murder which occurred in that county,ucar the Montgomery county line, last night. Dr. J. G. Brane was boarding with Mr. Riloy Slayton, and shortly after supper the men heard a noise in the horse lot. Procuring a lantern they went to the stable and just as Slayton held up the lantern for Brane to open the door a man concealed behind a tree fired, and Brane reeled and staried to fall, Two more shots were fired into his body and then the assassin ran up and beat his head mto a jelly, breaking the gun from the stock over hus head. To-day George Tally went to Clarksville, twenty-two miles distant from the scene of the murder, and gave himself up, saying he was the murderer and that he killed Brane because he had seduced his sov- enteen-ycar-old daughter. The girl is said to have borne an unsavory reputation and the doctor stood well in the community. Saslediags st Nebraska and lowa Patents.

Commercial Advertiser: Already the citizens of Washington are preparing for a grand colebration on the occasion of the inauguration of Mr. Harrision. As is the custom, demoerats and repub- cans alike will be reprosented on the inauguration committee, and both par- ties will contribute toward the expenses., The money contributed is returned pro- vided enough ball tickets are sold. There was something very brusque in the way Senator Quay snubbed the re- publican league chairman of the snaug- uration committee and appointed a man of his own ehoice. Generally the eiti- zens have selected the chairman of this committee, but Mr. Britton, whom Sen- ator Quay appointed, is very popular, and has cnergy enough to make the celebration a suceess. The perploxity of the citizens on ac- count of the absence of a suitable place for the inaugural ball emphasizes the necessity for a large ball in this city for such oceasions. When the interna- tional modical congress was hel though they occupicd the iargost the terin the city, they had to divide into sections, and wero scattered about in half a dozen buildings, Every great assemblage has this exporience in Washington. The inanguration b affair, and has always been an oceasion of great eeremony, and yet no adequat place provided for ‘it. Sometim temporaey sheds have been erected on public reservations. Unfinished build- ings have also boen oceupied. The Gar- field ball was given in the National museum building before it wasoceupied by old bones,antiquiiies and curiosities. The Hayes ball was protectod from the March winds by some rough pine boards. The last inauguration ball was held in the new pension office build- ing, not then completed. That is where Mr. Harrison’s friends want _to hold it; but congress has authorized the city postoltice to takoe possession of the largo court of this building at once, bocause parsimonious statesmen have not seon thoir way cloar to appropriste money for a city postofiico building in this cap- ital city. Postmaster Ross is about to move into the building, but every effort will bo made to delay this action on his part until after the 4th of March. It is pro- posed even to pay rent for the postofiico elsewhere. One thing in the interest of the inauguration committee is the fact that Mr. Ross has not enough money to meet his moving expenscs. It requives a considerablo outlay to conduct a successful celobration, and high prices are charged for the tickets to the ball. The choapest were those for Mr. Cleveland’s ball, which, by the 11 is a national way, was about tho ounly oue that ever paid expens - Stewart Place lots 81,500, e He Hadn't Disobeyad.
