SECOND DAY'S SESSION
OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE
KNIGHTS OF LABOR
At Indianapolis —Varlons Business Disposed
Of—Report of Mrs. Parry on the Con-
dition of Female Labor—.Other
Matters of Interest*
Indian atoms, Intl., November 14.—At
thei r session tills morning tho Knights of
Labor arc hearing tho reports of the gen
ernl oliicers niul committees, but nothing
■will lie given out until tho session ends at
noon. The annual report of General Muster
Workman Powderly will not l)e delivered
until later in the day, rtwintf to tho non-
arrival of printed copies. Tho appeal of
ThoniasJB. Barry for a iiearing, which was
Bent in theso dispatches last night, was
Bent, by him to the general assembly this
morning, and their netion on it will ba
awaited by him before he does anything
further. A mow.; those mentioned rh possi-
ble candidates for master workman no 0110
Is more frequently spoken of than W. T.
Lewis of Pittsburft. He is the chief execu-
tivr of a miners' association comprising
fiO.OOO members, and his organization is
liable to withdraw at their meeting in De-
cember unless action agreeable to their
wishes is taken at this time. While Lewis
Is pushed by his friends, ho himself states
that lie is not. a candidate. George
Schilling, tho Chicago socialist, hns been
spoken of in this connection, but many of
the delegates consider such a suggestion in
the nature of a joke, while Schilling will
not submit to being interviewed.
The morning session was almost entirely
devoted to the reports of tho treasurer,
Frederick Turner, tlie general investigator
of woman's work and wages, Mrs. 1«. J!.
Parry, and of tho general executive board.
The roll was called for the introduction by
districts of documents and resolutions, such
ns they would see fit to offer. These were
referred unread to what is called a distribu-
tion committee, by whom they will be given
to the proper committees. A telegram of
greeting was received from Chief Arthur of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Kngineers,
and a recess was taken until the afternoon.
The general treasurer gives an itemized re-
port of the receipts and expenditures for tho
year ending June 30, 1WS, and in a supple-
mentary report up to October 31,1888. Re-
ceipts in the first, from supplies, per capita
tax, journal charters, special defense., as-
sessment appeals and miscellaneous aggre-
gate t33B,!i07 09; donations, $49,830 67 ' in
salaries; fail,005 08 in printing; <M in
mileage and smaller items for paper,
hotels, postage, railroad fares, badges and
buttons, expressage, etc. For the four
months covered in the supplementary re-
port the receipts were 552,591 7:3 and expen-
ditures $42,520 63.
In conclusion Mr. Turner savs: According
to receipts, the membership lias decreased
about 300,000 during the past fiscal year, and
at the present time the receipts are not
sufficient to meet tho necessary expenses.
In my opinion a reduction of $25,000 in
expenses can bo accomplished without
detriment to tlio order, and I therefore
recommend: 1. Tho abolition of mileage
paid to our representatives, 2. Consolidation
of the offices of general secretary and gen-
eral treasurer. 3. Reduction of the general
executive board to not more than five mem-
bers, less if possible. This, based upon
mileage and salaries paid last year, will
reduce tho expenditure as stated.abave.
In view of the great falling off in mem-
bership and the debt which is hanging over
the order, the delegates are now feeling
rather blue and wondering what the out-
come will bo. At the end o'£ June, 1SS7, the
order was several thousand dollars ahead.
Of its condition one year later Mr. Turner
pays: On Juno 30, 1888, our balance was
$101 60, with bills to the amount of ¥9227 30
due and unpaid. October 31, 1888, there is a,
balance of £40 89, with jf30S7 80 in due and
unpaid bills.
In her report as general investigator Mrs.
L. M. Parry gives an Interesting account of
Jber work during the year in visiting differ-
ent parts of the country, her understanding
of her work being that "it was to'do every-
thing in my power that would in ray judg-
ment jmve a tenaene? t$> educate and ele-
vate tlio vvorkingwemen of America and
nnicliorats their condition." In further-
fiPcc of,kr SPA Se£ '£8 Jwtee'J in-
vestigated tho worit done and wages re-
ceived by women and girls in various indus-
tries all over the country.
Mrs. Parry gives tlie' prices paid women
and girls in various parts of the country
visited and describes tho disadvantages un-
der which they work. She found much to
criticise and condemn. At Cincinnati, she
says, the organization wa3 in a deplorable
disruption, and after expressing her inabi!
ity in the time to detail the women-employ-
ing industries, she says: "But of one or two
classes of toilers I would like to
speak, in the hope that the Knights of ha-
bor, ere this convention closes, may devise
some way or means to overcome, prohibit
or restrict by legislation (or compulsory use
of the label on fair made goods, which in
my judgment is the most practical) one of
the most oppressive, poisonous and damag-
ing systems to the public good that affects
our country to-day. I speak of the contract,
^wearing middlemen or slop shop plan,
which ———1— - "• '
partial investigation win made by tho gen-
eral executive board, at which the said T. B.
Harry, all hough acknowledging his guilt,
refused to retract his falsehoods or oven to
refrain from pursuing u like course in fu-
ture, and the general executive board was
compelled to issue tho following circular."
[The circular is a formal announcement of
this decision. |
The next document. No. 1023, is tho easo
of A. A. Carlton, who resigned. 1 la sub-
mitted an expense account, which w is con-
sidered exorbitant, and as he would not
give any explanation he was relieved from
duty. Theso two casoj wcrj the lust ones

Tho matter in the report of the general
executive board consist i d of a statement of
the action taken in various cases of appeals
and complaints. Thcpoasea are mostly of a
local nature and included the settlement of
strikes and lockouts in all parts of the
country. Where members of tho board
were sent to investigate, their reports and
recommendations and tho action of tho
board were given in full, but in other cases
a brief note of tho decision was made. Tho
afternoon session was brief and, like tho
morning session, consisted in the introduc-
tion of resolutions and other matters for
reference to committees. No more reports
were made, but the reports of the general
master workman and general secretary are
looked for to-morrow. Barry's appeal is
also expected to-morrow. He now thinks
he will be heard.
To-night most of the committees aro at
work on matters assigned them and their
reports will be made from time to tirao
during the meeting of the general assem-
bly. Tho question of election continues
one of interest, but Powderly will probably
be prevailed upon to accept once more, and
after the size of the board has been reduced
the remaining officials will speedily be
chosen. A public speaking was
l»eW to-night in the court-licuse.
The report of J. Hays, who succeeded
Charles II. Lichtman as general secretary
in September, will b6 presented in tho
morning. Ho gives a tabulated statement
of membership, showing 55'*>0 local assem-
blies in good working order, with a total re-
ported membership of 259,518 and 37,(XX) not
reported. July 1, 1887, tho memliership, ac-
cording to this report, was 451,179, showing
a loss in one year of not less than 153.761,
the exact mimlier depending on the "not
reported" membership.

CHOICE SELECTIONS
MaOe from Hundreds of Congratulatory Dis-
patches to Harrison.
indianapolis, Ind.,November 14.—Among
the several hundred congratulatory letters
and telegrams received by tho president-
elect within tho past day or two y/as one of
a prophetic character f#m his old personal
friend, Hon. Will Cnmback, ex-lieutenant-
governor of Indiana, which reatls: "Sincere
congratulations. Como in Dakota and bo
sealed. Stand up every colored citizen and
ba counted. Oil the American loom and let
her go, Gallagher. England, hands off.
Your friend all the tiino in storm and 110:10
the less in sunshine."
' Another telegram of interest as showing
where republican voters were the thickest
is from Chairman Van Bornnhorst of Pitts-
burg, saying: "Allegheny county sends
greeting with over 20,000 official majority
for Harrison, Morton and protection. As
representing tho banner republican coun-
ty of the_ union, its executive commit-
tee extends to you its heartiest congratula-
tions."
Peter Hendrickson of Chicago, editor of
the Scandinavian, says: "The prophesies of
Scandinavian defection wero not fulfilled.
Witness the majorities in Wisconsin, Iowa
and Minnesota. None rejoice more heartily
in your election than- the Scandinavians of
tho west." •
Congressman Richard Guentlier telo-
graphed from Oshkosh: "The German-
American republicans everywhere, es-
pecially those of Wisconsin, the largest
German-American state in the union, rc-
joice over" your triumphant election, and
feel proud that they contributed their share
towai'd this magnificent victory of Ameri-
can over foreign interests."
Among tho unique telegrams is one from
Buffalo .fones of Garden City, Ivan., who
»ays: "With mv congratulations I tender a
magnificent M buffnfafcf yoav great feast,
io be sure the Buffalo nominee that was
roasted last Tuesday atones for republican
folly, so let us cat, drink and be merry."

WACO, Tex., November 14.—At 5.30 this
afternoon Alonzo Lopez Garcia, a young
Mexican, entered the office of County Judge
Evans and made the following statement in
tho presence of Judge Evans, Deputy County
Clerk Tom Brown and a reporter of Tiie
News: "Early last summer I married Maria
Espinoza, daughter of another Mexican in
Enciual county. I owned a wagon and

TERRIBLEENCOUNTER BETWEEN TWO
MEN IN A DARKENED ROOM.
They Fight, Like Tigers ft ml Cut Each Other
to Shred*—One Run* A mueli Through
the Street ami MertB His Death
—Tho Other Expires*
BlttMlN'OItAM, Ala., November 14.—Somo
time ago Dr. Robert Nabors, residing at,
Montevnllo, this state, employed W. W.
'Shortridge, a lawyer, to collect a few claims
against delinquent patients. The returns
were not satisfactory and the two men quar-
reled, but parted without coming to blows.
Word has jiut reached hero that last Satur-
day Nabors callcd at Shortridgo's office and
troublo broke out again. They finally
agreed to fight with bowio knives in a
darkened room just off tho office. Remov-
ing their coats and shoes the men entered
tho room and fought blindly, but desper-
ately, for nearly ten minutes. The duel was
one of the most vicious ever known in Ala-
bama. People living in the lower stories
heard the noise a? tho duelists rolled upon
the floor and ran up stairs. When the door
was broken open Nabors staggered into the
office with blood streaming from a dozen
gashes in his face and breast. Without
sayinjr a word he rushed down
stairs, still clasping the gory knife
in his hand. Lying upon tho floor of the room
was Shortridge. llis head had been slashed
in a fearful manner. The arteries of his
neck had been severed, one eyo had been
gouged out, and his hands were cut so ter-
ribly that the fingers hnnpronly by tendons.
The man was dead. Nabors, after leaving
tho office, ran out upon the street, where
liis bleeding face and gory garmonts spread
consternation among the negroes. The doc-
tor seemed to bo crazed with pain, and
staggered wildly along the streets until he
reached a store, where Albert Kennan, a
negro, stood in the doorway. Without say-
ing a word Nabors rushed at Kennan arid
st ruck at him with the knife which he still
held in his hand. The negro started to
run into tho store, when tho now
thoroughly insane man made another
desperate lungo at hiin. Kennan seized a
gun which was lying upon the counter and
then turned to face the madman, who was
in the act of making another swing with
his knife. The two men clinched, but Na-
bors, who was weak from loss of blood, was
no match for his antagonist, and was
quickly thrown upon the floor. Before he
conld get upon his feet again Kennan dealt
him a terrible blow upon tho head with tho
stock of the gun, and then leaping over tho
body ran into the street and can not now
be found. Nabors never regained conscious-
ness. Both bodies were buried yesterday,
tho funerals being largely attended.
THE DALLAS BUDGET.
Or-
01; regularly established industry
with whom it competes. in-
stance the following: "Men's pants that
retail at prices from *1 to 87 per pair aro
taken by the contractor at 15 cents per pair.
Operatives are then employed and huddled
together in a close, stifling back room.where
the machine operatives furnish their own
machines and, in most cases, thread, and do
all the machine work on tho pants without
basting for 5 cents a pair. They are then
passed over to a finisher, who puts on but-
tons, makes button holes and puts 011
buckles for Scents per pair: six pairs is an
average day's work" Supposing five oper-
atives to bo employed, and there are often
more than less, the contractor
makes 30 cents a head, which nets him
or her $1 60 per day, while liis
or her victim gets 30 cents per day. Men's
vests are contracted out at 10 cents each,
the machine operative receiving 2y2 cents
and finisher 2*4 cents each, making 5 cents
a vest for completion. Twenty vests is a
day's work. Here again with tlie five opera-
tives he or she nets fl per day for doing
nothing while his unfortunate victim has 50
cents for eleven and twelve hours of her
life's energies. These women arc required
by the society to meet all the requirements
of nature in an iionest woman. Think of
their ability to do so under such op-
portunities. Oh, brothers of tlio Kniglits
of Labor, I implore you by your love for
your mothers, sisters, wives aiid daughters,
those sweet little innocent girls who to-day
gladden your heart and brighten your
hearthstone, unite as one mart on some
course that will have a tendency to remove
this curse of our fair land—this blot
upon American liberty and independence—
ere the tender leet of your
loved ones are compelled to press thi3 life's
pathway on thorns. And in the manufac-
ture of women's underwear this hellish
method is carried on with equal force. On
Central avenue, Cincinnati, O., undergar-
ments are made for 25 cents per dozen,
trimmed with either lace or ruffles, while
skirts with ruffles; lace and tucks 50 cents
per dozen, the average week's wages of such
employes running from $1 50 to S3 per week.
.She recommends the adoption of mora
speedy amelioration of oppressed humanity,
11 clearer definingol' the duties of officials of
the order, active and earnest efforts 011 be-
half of working women, and more effective
child labor laws.
The report of the general executive board
Is a voluminous document, containing an
account of all matters touched on by the
board. The case of Thomas 1$. Barry is N9.
1022. and the record is "expulsion of Thomas
B. Barry from the order of the Knights of
Labor—in consequence of complaints com-
ing to the general master woi kman and tlio
general executive board from the order in
all parts of tho country, charging T. 15.

lation of his obligation as a general officer

amove her from temptation. That
was why I moved. My wife's former
suitor followed us to Bexar and
several times came about my
premises. On the 14th day of last July I
shot and wounded him while he was riding
past seeking to attract my wife's attention.
He made no attempt to have mo arrested,
and I moved again to Blanco county. About
fifteen days ago a young man whom I never
saw before came to my place in Blanco
county, and I saw him and my wife in con-
versation, She became confused, and on
my questioning her grew angry, I think
he was an emissary ot my old enemy. I
moved again, and camped with mv wife on
the Bell and McLennan county fine. My
wife was cross with me, ami often ap-
peared aljsenb minded. Last night we
laid down in tlie bed of
the wagon, and I went to
sleep. In tho night I felt my face burning
as if scaided. I thought something had me.
I got up and went off to a wafer pool and
bathed my cheeks. I then staked my horses
in a fresh place. After that I returned and
laid down and did not awake again until
nearly sunrise. When I got up my wife was
gone. I have never seen her since, and one
of my horses was missing. I now know that
my wife chloroformed mo and eloped, after
taking my best horse."
Judge Evans mado arrangements after
becoming satisfied of tlie truth of the man's
storv so that he was able to borrow money
011 the wagon and the remaining pony, and
lis took tlio south bound Missouri Pacific
train, remarking that he intended to have
revenge, cost what it might.

Dallas, Tex., November 14.—Pursuant to
a call for a meeting of all reputable life in-
surance secretaries and managers in Texas,
agents of the Manhattan, Home, Washing-
ton, Union Mutual and Mutual associations
met to-day and effected a temporary organ-
zation by electing Mr. I. Reinhardt to the
chair and Mr. A. R. Rgberts secretary.
On motion of Mr. R. A. Roberts the pro-
posed organization was named tho Texas
Life Underwriters' association.
A. motion by Mr. H. M. Leonard authoriz-
ing the chair to appoint a committee of
three to draft a constitution and by-laws,
and the chair appointed a3 such committee
Messrs. A. 11. Roberts, H. M. Leonard and
G. H. Woodward.
The meeting then adjourned till to-mor-
row night, when permanent organization
will bo effected and officers elected. The
objects of the association include the pas-
sage of laws placing life insurance on a
higher basis and creating a stats commis-
sioner of insurance. It is claimed that up-
ward oi &000,000 is paid annually in Texas

At the request of Receiver Cross of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Judge Brewer
of the Eighth judicial circuit of t he federal
court has consented to visit Dallas and
make a personal inspection of the situation,
so as to ascertain what improvements anil
increase of facilities on the part of tho road
tlie importance of the city demands. I11 ad-
dition to building the Dallas and Waco
road and creating a separate station for tho
Missouri, Kansas and Texas here, it is not
improbable that Judge Brewer's visit
will result in making Dallas the end of the
division. Judge Brewer will be here in the
early part of the coming week.
Robert L. Russell, who worked during
years gone by with Receiver Erey on tho
Ohio and Mississippi railway in Indiana,
has just vacated the position of night oper-
ator at Waxahachie to take service on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas with Mr. Erey.
During his fifteen years of service in Texas
Mr. Russell has been sending specials to
Tiie Nbws, and in going away to new fields
he regrets much tho loss of The Daily
News. Mr. Russell during the war was
the trusted operator of General J. C. Breck-
inridge.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
transcontinental association.
St. Louis, Mo., November 14.—At a meet-
ing of the Transcontinental association to-
day the executive comnilttce appointed yes
tcrday reported set rules for the govern-
ment of tho association, which wero dis-
cussed at length and finally adopted. A re-
vision of tho tariff was then taken up, but
little progress was made owing to the de-
moralization of tho trunk lino rates inau-
gurated a few days since. Chairman Leeds
is of the opinion that, while the situation is
embarrassing, a basis can be agreed upon,
but the prime object of the present meeting
is practically defeated for tho present at
least. The object of the meeting was to
come into line with the-Central Traffic asso-
ciation and the trunk lines, in order that
harmony might prevail from New York to
the extreme western limit of transporta-
tion. Chairman Leeds says that the only
alternative will be an agreement upon a
through tariff, to take effect after rates
have been restored by tho eastern lilies.
Until that is accomplished the transconti-
nental lines proper can adhere to the
new schedule in their own territory.
The passenger agents held another meet-
ing to-day, but the work accomplished was
informal, and nothiue definite will be
ugreed upon until at the joint meeting,
which will be held to-morrow. The south-
eastern association also met and accom-
plished somo work. The rates in the Mis-
sissippi territory' were advanced 3 cents on
meats, and in Montgomery territory an in-
crease of 2 cents was made. This includes
classes B, C, I) and F, and is the restoration
of the old rate in existence up to September
1. On class F to Montgomery territory,
which includes flour in barrels, the rate was
advanced from 4 to 8 cents.
sweeping reductions in freigiit rates.
New York, November 14.— [Special] —
Anxiety over tho action of the New York
Central railway in making a sweeping re-
duction in its freight tariff has not sub-
sided. When the news camo out on Mon-
day the mauagors of the different trunk
lines hastened to take action and agents all
over the country tvero ordered to make tho
reduction. It is stilted that a number of tho
representatives of the different lines af-
fected met Monday and, although thero
wero many charges and counter-charges,
nothing was dono. An effort was made yes-
terday to'reach all tlio trunk lines for tho
purpose of bringing thein together to
make a settlement, but for some reason
it fell through. Another attempt
will be made. The Pennsylvania road yes-
terday mot the cut, but did not go below, us
some expected. Railroad officials say that
the fight lies mostly' between these roads.
Last summer, when Mr. Eink was away,
tlie Pennsylvania threatened to withdraw,
but finally agreed to maintain rates with
the other companies, This ag'reem^rt, it is
claimed, was not lived up to by the Penn-
sylvania road. Tho New York Central peo-
ple compare reports of the t wo roads. Tlio
Central shows a marked falling off in ton-
nage and oarnings, while the Pennsylvania
shows a big incn ase. When tho Central
people discovered this they mado up their
minds that they would secure their share,
hcnce the cut. Though the New York Cen-
tral people disclaim any intention of pre-
cipitating a war, railroad men say thoy will
follow up their stroke if compelled to.
DISCUSSING flle rate war.
New York, November 14.—Prominent
railway officials met in Drexel, Morgan &
Co.'s office to-day to discuss the ratewarj
Officials blame tho Vanderbilts for institut-
ing a rate war. Reductions have also been
mado in the lake and rAil rates. It is
rumored in connection with the rate war
that the Reading, Lehigh Valley and Balti-
more and Ohio roads will lease the Jersey
Central and work in harmony with tho
Pennsylvania.
