Springfield, 111., March 29.—Gnand Master Workman Powderly has written letters to conservative Knights of Labor condemning Senator Burke and Representafive Rohbach for attending the funeral of the anarchist, Neebe’s wife lately in Chicago. He says being members of the legislature they could not attend as individuals, but were there in their official capacities, so far as the public is concerned much to the injury of honest Knights of Labor. Powderly is strong and outspoken in his expressions. Mr. Knailowski, member of the lower house of the legislature says on Friday night last he was summoned before one hundred German socialists who unanimously demanded of him to publicly retract the document he signed with Mr. Bailey, denouncing Senator Burke and Representative Rohbach for their connection with the Neebe funeral or resign his position as representative. He told them no power on earth could compel him to resign or retreat. The meeting then denounced him and declared him an enemy of the United Labor party. He was inform d that on Sunday evening nine anarchists entered into a covenant to treat him with the same dose Bailey received. He has given their names to the detectives who are how working on the Bailey case. Believed to Have Gone to Canada. Associated Pr« ss. lash Dress Goods.

New York, March 29.—The Brook !yn Eagle says Edminston & Waddell of East Brooklyn were until a short time ago large dealers in carriages and xgricultural implements ahd were known all over the country through their travcling agents; that they are now believed to have gone to Canada; that all their assets have disappeared, also their books and papers and their confidential clerk. That the first sign of trouble was about a month ago, when their stock in this city was sola to satisfy a claim of $28,000 by Emerson and Fisher, of Cincinnati. It is said that company had reached the limit, being forced by one bank to pay up at once, after having put upon market large amounts of paper of Hiram James & Co., Dallas, Texas, Marshall & Co., San Francisco, and the Iron Age Implement Company, of Chicago. A meeting of creditors was held today, but very little was found to work on as everything had been removed from the office. It was intimated that some of the firms which posed as creditors were in fact but branches of Edminston & Waddell. The liabilities are estimated at nearly $300,000. Chicago Hard Up for a Mayoralty Candidate. Associated Press. Chicago, March 29.—The democrats are still searching for a standard bearer. The conference committee appointed by the city central committee to agree upon Candida'es for the mayoralty and treasu eship met last night. The delicacy of the situition seemed to worry the conferes greatly. About a score of names were suggested for the mayoralty nomination, but no one could give any assurance that any of the gentlemen namcd would consent to run. After an hours deliberation subcommittees were delegated to wait upon' Potter Palmer, Marshal Field, Erskine M. Phelps and other prominent gentlemen and asceitain if any of them would permit his name to go before the convention.

CHICAGO, March 29.—Judge Cooley departed for Washington today to meet the other railroad commissioners of the interstate ommeice law. He will hand in his resignation as receiver of the Wabash railroad immediately. He said he had no idea who would succeed him as receiver. The first question the commission will take up will be an application by the associated roads of Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama to be allowed special rates on through traffic without affecting their local traffic, on account of competition by the Onio and Mississippi river lines. Judge Cooley says the commission is authorized to grant special rates if it finds that water competition materially affects the through traffic of railroads. Eight Hours Rule Agitated Again. Associated Press. Chicago, March 29.—The carpenters of this city are preparing to enforce their demands for eight hours and 35 cents per hour on April 4. The secretary of the Carpenters’ Council informed the carpenter bosses a conference was advisable, but the employees will take no action till after the convention to be held for the purpose of forming a National Union. A plan for consolidation ol the building trades into one district is progressing rapidly and an inside consolidation may be effected. Already the following well organized unions have signified their intention of joining the building trades district. Carpenters, bricklayers, stonecutters, plumbers, hodcarriers, plasterers, painters, derrick men, lathers, gasfitters and others will follow. The object of the district is to work for mutual protection and assist each other in case of strikes, the eight hours rule among them and some have already asked an advance in wages. The work of the body is to be done by a central council, composed of three delegates from each organization and after all the building trades have been united there will probably be fifty delgates in council. They will represent 20,000 to 35,000 men. An Imprisoned Priest. Associated Press. Dublin, March 29.—Father Ryan, of the Hcrbertstown branch of the National League, presented himself today before Justice Boyd’s bankruptcy court. He persisted in his refusal to tell the court what he knew about the doings of tenants in the parish respecting the trusteeing of rents under the plan of the campaign and was condemned to prison: When Father Ryan emerged from the court as a prisoner he was met by a multitude of citizens who numbered many thousands, and cheered the priest with enthusiastic and prolonged applause. They then followed him in procession to the jail, making a tour of tri umph. Among the most conspicuous men in the procession were Lord Mayor Sullivan and Archbishop Crape. A Murder Mystery. As sociated Press, Little Rock, March 29.—News from Hasen, Ark., says much excitement prevails in that vicinity over the alleged murder of Benjamin Mobbs, a most respectable citizen of that place, who was found hanging in his home Saturday. It appears that Mobbs l;ved alone and was known to possess some money and about $100 which he kept in the house. When first found it was thought he had committed suicide, but further developments show him to have been poisoned, robbed and then hanged to conceal the crime. No arrests have been as yet made, but should the right parties be found they will hardly need a judge and jury. Nihilist Nerve. Associated Press. St. Petersburg, March 29.—It is stated all the nihilists arrested for complicity in the recent insurrection plot on the czar’s life when taken in custody there were small bottles of poison found in their bosoms and secret agents had been deputed to smash these bottles in the event of the assassin retreating from his task at the last moment. Blame Coming West. Associated Press, New York, March 29.—James C. Blaine left at 9 o’clock this morning bound for St. Louis, provided with a special car and accompanied by his youngest daughter Hattie, Jas. G. Blaine, Jr., and wife, Stephen Blaine’s wife and son.

Fo T Worth, Tex., March 28.—The bill crea.ing Tarrant county a separate judicial district having passed both houses of the legislature, Judge B ckham this morning stated to the bar that as the bill provided that the terms of the court should commence on the second Tuesdays in January, May and September, he deemed it expedient to adjourn the present term until the time for Bolding the first term under the new law. This will be done tomorrow and the grand and petit juries will be discharged. Nothing was done of interest in the courts today, save the fining of Sheriff West,of Navarro county, $100 and ordering him to be confined in the county jail here for three days for disobeying an order of sale issued in the various cases against the defunct Chase Trading Company. This establishment is in ihe town of Corsicana. The sheriff there had been ordered to sell the stock of goods levied on, but as different creditors protested against the sale, Sheriff West declined to make it. LEGISLATIVE ITEMS. Austin, Tex., March 28.—The Land Board passes away, doomed as the heathen who foget the Almighty. Many, perhaps a majority, of the members ot the legislature accepted the Land Board and its rules, resolutions, regulations and political maneuvering. So also the legislature has refused to validate the Greer county locations autborized by the late administration and practically rejects the boundary commissioners’ findings as to the claim of Texas by refusing an appropriation to test its value. The stamp of condemnation is impressed upon all the administration acts of any great importance during the past four weary years.. The house today came very near indorsing the protection idea in the vote upon the proposed amendment to the constitution to exempt manufactories from taxation. The vote was a tie, the speaker failing to avail himself of his privilege of voting, which action on his part was equivalent to a vote in the negative. The bill for the benefit of the company proposing to irrigate the Pecos valley was today indefinitely postponed in the senate. This disposes of it finally, and those interested will have to wait two years longer for the desired aid. GALVESTON’S GRIT. Galveston, March 28.—It has been only a few days ago that a number of the leading capitalists of Galveston subscribed about $750,000 to further the project of building an air line railroad from the coast to the northern border. As a condition precedent to commencinj; work under the charter, over $25,000 of this stock was paid up in cash today, an and engineer has already been 'employed to commence the' preliminary survey at once. This has t e appearance of business, and gives indication that the parties behind appreciate the fact that it requires money to build a railroad and are not operating merely upon paper. Upon the heel of this enterprise another has sprung, which will be fostered and supported by Galveston capital and which has been given an impetus by some of the leading incorporators of the new railroad scheme—the establishment in this city of an extensive bagging and cordage factory, requiring an invested capital of half a million dollars. Messrs. Adoue & Lobit are the projectors of this enterprise. FEMALE CLERKS. Austin, Texas, March 28 —The question of requiring the employment of females as clerks in the departments came up in the house today upon an amendment offered by Mr. Alexander to the appropriation bill to provide that ten should be appointed in the comptroller’s office. The usual friend of the sex was on hand to object to placing them in ptisitions that would bring them in contact with the vile world. To place them in political po itions might detract somewhat from the reverence with which the lords of creation regard them, therefore it is better that they should tarry at the wash tub and sewing machine. DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST A COMPRESS. Galveston, Tex.. March 28.—Mrs. Mary Ellen Horen, the widow of Joseph K.
