Positive Talk from Powderly.
Associated Press.
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.

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.

Tudge Cooley’s New Field of Labor.
Associated Press.
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.

TARRANT COUNTY DISTRICT COURT.
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. Horan, who was killed by an accident
to the machinery at the Taylor
compress a few weeks ago, has filed
suit against the compress company for
$50,000.
