SLAVIN IS DISGUSTED, He Fears that His ight with Smith will Be Declared Off. {Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennatt.) lancare, Dec. 18.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee]—Slavin has been here for a month training for his fight with Smith, I spent the evening with him and found him disgusted with the general aspect. The referee has not been selected, and Slavin is afraid that the fight will not come off, The Australian is ready and is so confident of winning that the thought of failure to bring the fight off makes him wild. Fe has been his own trainer, though Fred Symmes has been coaching hun, and Josh Cononet has been his mark with the 'gloves. Taylor, & fellow Austratian, has looked after: Slavin generally. Slavin has always fought at thirteén stone and o half, but will enter the ring against Smith it the opportunity offers at twelve stone, twelve. Not a whimper about the fight has been published in the London papers recently for Tear that police attention would be called to itand the principals be put under bonds, Slavin did not object to a cable to America about the fight, but made me promise that nota word should be published in the Lon- aon edition for fear that the Smith purty might use it to spike the fight, He thinks that “Win, tie or wrangle” ought to be mado @an Englsh proverb, for a stranger has little chance of winning on his merits, —— PGWDEKLY AND CALLAHAN, The Master Workman Tells of the Or- igin of Their Troubl», Sceraxtoy, Pa., Dec. 10.—According to a lengthy statement furnished today by Gon- eral Master Workman Powderly, his difii- culty with Edward Callahan, which led to the prosecution, dates back to the appoint- ment of a committee in the Knights of Labor in 1887, to watch state legislation in the in- terosts of working men. In March, 1858, Callahan complained that the committee was neglecting its dnly.”otc. Powderly asked Rim for his afthority for stating that ‘“‘members who stand high in the order do not want their reports pub- lished.” Callahan replied that Powderly ‘was derelict 1n his duty and the committee a sham, In June, 1588, Callahan published & letter about lezislutive work and the com- mittee, and said * that after his 1ast letter Powderly circulated an infamous lie and thus injured s (Callahan’s) po- ‘litical chances badly. Before the June con- vention of this year to nominate an assem- bly man Callahan complained to Powderly that an injurious story }lud been circulated about him and usked the publication of his letter. Later be accused Powderly of villi- ying him by circulating stories which led to his defeat, and declared that if his letter had been published it would have saved him, but that Powderly sacrificed him to save himself, as the letter would have exposed Powderly's treason t the Knights of ~ Labor. Powderly published a statement of the dificulty, together with several of Callahau’s letters, in the Journal of United Labor of August, 1888, in which he assertad his innocence of the charge brought by Callaban and surprise at the rash utterances of the man. Pow- derly told u reporter today that he knows nothing of the Lm\unt casy, but supposes it 18 & revival of the charge of conspiracy.

But Is Foiled In His Attempt to Carry Her O by the Sympathetic Trainmen—Teartiul Sconos. S'rr and Grand Sira. A misunderstanding about the departure of trams, yesterday morning, gave to little Evelyn Miller anothor day of that happiness which has been part of her childhood life and which she is now on the eve of relinguish ing forever. When the United States court adjourned, Wednesd; night, the instructions of Judge Dundy were to leave her in the company of her grandparents over night; yesterday morning she Was to be turned over to the keeping of her father and the long litigation over her pos- scssion was to be brought to an end, The arrangement between father and grand- parents was to moet at the Union Pacific depot just before the departure of the morn. g trains. Deputy Marshal Stewart was to surrender the heartbroken girl to her father. He would leave on the 9:45 Rock Island train with ner for his Ohio home. The old grandparents, their hoarts aching over the 1oss of the baby thay had reared, would leave for their homo in Nematia county, and the pathetic scones that have been witnessed in Judge Dundy's court would be brought to a tearful termin- ation, Miller,the girl's father, failed to reach the depot ia time, and the programme could not o carried out.

The party repaired to the marshal’s office, where a formal transfer of possession occurred. It was not without its pathetic scenes. The little girl refused to be comforted. Sho sobbed and wept the bitter tears that told of the agony of the enforced separation from the only home and the only loving hearts she had ever known. The rugged old Grand- father Burrus was the parent to whom she clung. *Ican’t loave you! I can't go with him! 1lcan’t! Ican't!” she cried again and again, each time looking with appealing eyes up to the sturdy old man. Mrs. Burrns knelt beside the agonized child; her feeblo arms were clasped about the trembling little form, and the lips of the aged grandmother with lisses dried the tears that flowed down the checks of the face that is the image of the one borne by a loved daughter dead and gone. Milier stood by, cold and unsympathetic. He made a feeble move once 1o reach Eve- lyn but snhe recoiled from him and clung closer to her grandfather, who seemed to her a protecting oak 1 the midst of a patch of shrubber ‘I'he scene was too much for those who witnessed it. Reporiers, court attaches and attorneys withdrew. Tney sauntered along the cerridors of the government building awaiting the terminavion of the affecting in- cidents. Now and then, above the sounds of their footsteps on the tessellated floors of the halls, could be heard the childish sobs of the pretty girl and the exclamations of agony that told of the unhappy future before her: “Idon’t want to go with him! Idon't want to go with him!" 1o balf an hour the party emerged from Marshal Slaughter's oftice. Evelyn clung to her grandfather s arm sua cried us though the loving heart within ber would break over the long separation that wus rapidly ap- proaching Down the furrowed cheeks of old Mr. Borris there flowed tears of sorrow —tears that matted his whitened beard— tears the weight of which drew down the ola man’s head until his face almost touched his oreast. - Muller followed betmd as the party lefu the building. Noone cared to witness further sceves the like of which has been described. Mr. and Mrs. Burrus and their @randchild would be happier by themselves during the last few hours they had o pass together. The law had said, ‘“‘Separate them,’” and it was done. Thae law could not ease their sorrow nor could the law heal the wounds it had made on three loving hearts. The law could take from the home of that once happy old couple in Nemaha county its most priceless jewel, but the law could not find a like jewel to take its place. Besides, the father Evelyn had nevec known was to be with them, He was to take her away 0 & home she bad never seen, to a home filled with strangers., His presence would produce sorrow enough during the day without the knowledge that the eyes of inquisitive strangers were upon them, “I'he scene at the depot yesterday after- noon when Miller attempted to take his little girl home was a pitiful oneindeed, and it is a matter of congratulation on the part of the father that his head is 1 an unbroken con- dition this morning, for he escaped wl prize fighters term “'a jolt in the jaw’ only by a miracle, At this nomnt it is in order to state that the little girl is yet in Omaha, and that last night she sopbed herself to sieep beside the oh‘f woman whose whole being is absorbed in love for the little one. It was the intention of the Rock Islund train at 4 but the fates willed it otherwise. At 4 o'clock the party, consisting of little Evelyn, the old couple, Mrs. Jenuiugs of the Hotel Derby, and Mil- ler, came to the depot. The little one was crying bitterly, while down the faces of the ola couple the tear drops fell like rain. Muller was composed ; there was vo moisture in his eyes, no tremor of the lip, no sign of emotion whatever. His face was as mobile as a piece of warble, While the glances the aed pair cast at bis httle girl were full of tenderness and devotion, his were as devoid of expression as that of an oyster on ice. He had trinmphed, beaten 1wo old people out of their hearts’ idol. Why should he not be satisfied { As soon as the varty entered the depot thoy became the ceater of attraction, for the story soon weut around the waiting roowm.

Aud wany ware the expressions of sympathy con- veyed by the spectators, who were soon fa- miliar with the history of the cuse. Miller in the meantime paced nervously around the room, acting like a msu who 1eared some great evil was about to befall him. Train time arrived. Miller grasped his valise and said, “Come on,” to his daughter, who, nuuhlngf:lmnusly. said “'don’t want to go. 1 don'v want 1o go. I wany to stay with grandpa. Ob, grandpa, don’t let them take me away !" “But you must go, my cuild,” replied the old man, vainly trying Lo keep back the big tears that chased each other down his weather-beaten face. “But I won't go,” said the little one. “He shan't take me away. 1 am going to stay with grandpa and grandma.” “No, dou’t you go dear,” said a sweot- facea lady, who was goiog on the same train to visit & dying friend in Pennsylvania, *Don’t let him take you away,” and then add “Why don’t some man hit him ' ‘'ieep awey from me, you scoundrel,' said a big drummer, “or I will hit you once i for lh‘\{ck._ and if 1 do you wou't be any- ! 1 *or shawe " chorused a number, “Why will be break the girl's heart and the ola poople's when be knows she doesn’t want to £0 with him1" . *I wonder if thal man expects to go to heaven{" remarked a big brakeman, “If he does, he added rather irreverently, ‘“‘hell's good enough for me." Just then Miller picked up the child, “Let me alone!" cried she as she strug- gled flercely 1 get away. “*Put her down,” thundered a spectator, Yor I'll lyze you! The law gives you the child, but kinder hands than yours must puv ber on he train,” Aund Miller put her wh. “Tell Jack to train employe to an out.
