NA'lIONMj The Coming Convention ofl lie Organ ization to l > o Held In Oninlin. On Tucsany next the National fanners' al liance will meet in convention In this city.

The piOKrntmno of the convention has not rot boon announced but tin Interesting moot ing Is expected as the organization differs in many respects from Unit which rnctnt Ornln , Fla , leci'iitly and some mutters considered ut that meeting will bo brought up nt the coming convention.

Thus far It is al most wholly located in the northern states , nnd its bc.idqiurters and business ofllco is'at Moulton , In. August Post , the secictnry , has recently Issued tlio following letter explanatory of tbo objects of tlio orgnni/atlon : The National farmers' nlllnnceas , thunamo donates , Is a national organization of farmers , having for its object tbo promotion of tlio In terests of agriculture. The reasons for Itsex- istanco Is to bo found in the fact that this is nil ajo of organization an ago in which 1m- iortant losults nro accomplished only by messing force * thnt can bo bound together upon the b.usls of slmlllarty of circumstances nnd community of Interests. It Is bollovcd that the luliuonco to which the magnitude nnd Importance of agriculture entitle it , can only bo exerted through the principle of or- gnnlzntlon , and It is only thus tnat farmers can favorably affect the social ftiut economic conditions which so vi tally concern them. It Is believed , further , that the Ecnor.il public- does not desire to bo unjust , and would not willingly deny to so Important a section of Industry as agriculture any fair nnd well considered de mand which fanners regard ns essential ot advantageous to their welfare. Organization utTords an opportunity for such intelligent discussion ns shall furnish a lonsonablo as surance that tno demands which may be made aie fair and well considered , ana also supply n voice which to uomooUoni , at least , can give uuthoritiUivu expression to the farmers' wishes and needs , after they shall have been formulated. Those are some oi the considerations and only some of them which ronrtor organization l > y tbo farmers ol the country desirable , not only for their own sake , but for the sake of the public. Horc unrest and discontent without definite cx < pressing grounds of complaint have novoryol righted n wrong or removed a crlovanco. The object , then , of the National farmers' ' alliance Is to secure unity of action , after ful ! nnd intelligent discussion , for the promotior of such lororins ns may be necessary to a bet taring of tbo farmers' condition. It covers i broad field , and nothing thnt can advance th < welfare of the farmer Is foreign to It Naturally , purposes so extensive cannot be described in detail In a word. Thpy Include reformation In economics , tbo dlssomltimior of principle1 ! calculated tocncourapo and fester tor agricultural pursuits , and to secure U these engaged In tlicm their just share of th < returns from the soil , the education of th < agricultural classes In Just Ideas of govern mont.l opposition to monopoly , tlio laciilca tlonof the belief in the dignity and worth o the pursuit of agriculture , the discussion o all topics relating to the farm , whether ill rcctly , as la the case of crops , grasses , feed ing , etc. , or moro remotely , as In the case o transportation , markets , supply nnd demand and the like. The principle ) of co-oporatlot in purchasing Is one to wlilc ) the alliance devotes much , attcn tlon , mid with good results , nn < it seeks by legitimate means to so Influence legislation ns to secure Juitlco from the rail roads and transportation companies , to ahol ish special privileges to the few , to proven food adulterations Injurious nllko to consumer or and producer , and to Increase markets a homo and to crush combinations which toni to destroy legitimate trading under the law of competlon nnd supply anil demand. With this purpose In view the Natlonn farmers' nlllnnco has organized state nlll antes in ten of the states of tlio unionand ha in process of organization llvo other states with numerous local alliances hi still othc states where the body Is not jot stroiij enough to warrant state organlzutlon.

The nine employes of the Garneiiu bakery who struck last "Monday deny that they ere- ted any disturbance at the bakery on South Thirteenth street last Wednesday night. They stated yesterday to a DEK reporter , hat three of the force , PeUsr lick , James O'Connor nnd Charles King , went to the inltcry on Wednesday night nt the Invitation f the foreman to talk the tniltor over. The oroman usknd them whan they got to ho bakery , they said , if they , \ould go to work , nnd they replied that they .vould If they were not obliged to sign a con- , iact. This contract , so the men claim , pro vides that they work from January 21,1891 , until November 14 , nnd that they pay $1 per , vcek out of their wages Into a fund which is o bo refunded to thorn at the expiration of ho contract , if they quit before the contract ixpiros , so they claim , they will lose the SI a .veekfortho time they hnro worked. This lontracttho men refused to sign , and refused o work with anybody who would sign It. The strikers claimed also tlmt they were c fused whnt wni coming to them when they ailed nt the ofllco on Tuesday , the regular layMfty. They were told that they would iiavoTo wnlt until Mr. Joseph Garncau came : ioino. This , they say. was a hardship for ionic ot them who needed money. Mr. Wielntid , the foreman , was scon by n BUR rcoorter ycsterdny. Ho said ho bad not irged the men to sign the contracts. Ho limply presented them , as the company hnd tistructed him to do , and lot the men use heir own judgment in the nutter. Ho said tint the placet of the strikers nro MOW all tilled by capable men and the work moves on as usual , Mr. Pierre ( iiirncau said yesterday thnt ho contracts which they nsltod the men to sign are virtually the same ns the verbal con- , racts under which the men have boon work- ng Instead of paying the men $14awcok and keeping $1 out , they pay them $10 a week and glvocnch man credit for 61 , which goes into n sort of premium fund and is paid the men at the end of the ye.ir. or when they quit , providing they give the foreman duo notice , or In case of accident or sickness whloh necessitates their quitting the employment of the rompitiy.

CHARGED WITH INCENDIARISM , Verdict of tbo Coroner's ' Jury in the Nathan Bornstcin Oaae. ALEXANDER SPIGLE IMPLICATED , The Ijattcr Held to Have Instigated tlio liumlng of the Wholesale > IloiiRO Last Sun day The Inquest to determine the causa of tlio death of Nathan Bernstein came to a close last evening after holding llvo session * nnd examining' thlrty-flvo witnesses. Tbo testimony was very conflicting , and It was very evident , oven to a casual observer , thnt the statements of n largo number of tbo witnesses were totally unreliable. Tbo larger nart of the Polish and Itusslnn Jews of tbo city were present every day nnd were divided into two factions , ono roproscntlnir the interests of ICloIn nnd Splirlo and tlio otber factlou being under tbo loiulorsblp of Isaac Hrown. the furniture dealer , a cousin of Bornstoin. Whenever nny testimony wns introduced which made things look dubious for Klein & Spittle , nn adherent of tboso people would skirmish around and post ono oC the numer ous hangcra-on of that faction nnd would then inform the coroner or the county attor ney that "this man knows something1. " The man would bo put on tbo stand and would tell n story directly contrary to tbo ouo which reflected on Klein or Splglo. It developed during tbo inquiry that nearly nil the witnesses who testified for these men were related to thorn In some way. At yesterday's ' session County Attorney Jlahoiioy conducted tbo examination of the witnesses. Attorney M. V. Oannon wns present nnd cross-examined the witnesses. Jlr.Gannonnlso Introduced several witnesses to prove ttio whereabouts of Spiglo Sunday afternoon , but every ono of tuotn kept Spl- Elo unaccounted for between tbo hours of 3 p. in. and 0 p. in. George llussoll wns recalled. Ho repeated the story bo told upon tlio stand Thursday evening about the proposition Dennis Lane made to him on the corner of Sixteenth nnd Cuss streets I'Mday ovcuing last to burn a building. F. E. Munn appeared as attorney for Dennis Lnno and proceeded to cioss-cxatmno the witness Tno only point brought out which differed from the first statement made liy the witness was that ho hnd pone up to Justice Shaw's ofllco with I'ciiiiPll after the conversation between witness and Lnno , nnd talked with Lane about the proposition bo had made to Russell. Donnls Lane was present during the ex- nmlnntlon of this witness nnd was put on tbo stana. Ho stntcd that ho knew Hussell. Lane then stated that on Thursday or Frd day afternoon ha was in Justice Shaw's oftlcohoroho was employed ns clerk nnd bookkeeper , when someone came after Shaw nnd Lane cnt down stairs after him. lie saw Hussoll standing on the corner of Six teenth and Cass streets in a badly intoxicated condition. Hussellwanted the witness to tteat , but ho refused and asked Husscll why he didn't go to work. Kussell asked the wit ness to put him onto a ] ob. Witness vetorted sharply. "Why don't you rob somebody ! " ilo testified tuat ho snld this because ho knew Kussell to bo a thief. Ilo then said , as ho turned to leave Hussell. "Why dou't you go burn n bulldUjgl" The -witness then loft Itussoll and went up stairs. A short tlmo afterwards Ponncll and Russell came up to Shaw's ' ofllco and I'cnncll stuck bis bead in the door and said , "Denny , I want to speak with you. " "Witness said ho had no time to talk to him and they loft. Aleclc Splglo was ro-c.illcd and stated positively that ho was at the store about 8:30 : or 0 o'clock In the morn ing , but not afterwards. The witness hail heard tlio testimony of Kichmond , in which bo Bnid that ho saw Splglo about the store with Klein in the afternoon. There was not a word of truth In this , the -witness said. Ilo was ntShugi'rmnn's in the after noon and went from tuoro to Washington ball , where ho was busy all afternoon fixing up tbo wines nnd liquors for the ball. Mr. Gannon then asked the privilege of In troducing some witness and tbo request wns granted. Mrs. Nolllo Lewis Was called. Her bus- bind keeps a furniture store on North Sbc- tcciith btrect , the firm being Splglo & Lela.w She was on the committed topron.iro the sup per nt the hall. She was at Washington bnll atli o'clock and Spiglo came in. Ilo re mained about an hour. Slio met him after- v.aids , about 5 o'clock , and bo ald ha hnd been at Shugenmw's. During the even ing she saw Splglo at short Inter- vals. The witness also gave sorno tes timony concerning Kichmond. Ilo was employed ns driver at the housoof the wit ness , about n year npo , and stole a diamond ring. Ho tried to charge the hired girl with the theft , but tbo ring was trnced to Kloh- mend , and hu was arrested , The witness filed a complaint against Richmond , but afterwards withdrew It , M she was In ill- health mill did not fool llko prosecuting it , Tbo witness testlliod that , Uichnioud had the reputation of being a great liar. When tbo witness saw Spiglo in tlio afternoon he wns alone. Saw Klein at the ball during the evening. Witness was a niece of Aleck Splglo , Miss ttvn Spiglo was tlio next witness and corroborated the testimony of tbo last wit ness. She saw Spiglo in the afternoon as ho \\nscomlnprfroin Shugerman's. Was also n niece of Aleck Spiglo. Morris Davis was called. Ilo was playing pool nt Fourteenth and Dodge streets nil afternoon Sunday. Iihniond ! was tlioro nil afternoon. Had known Kichmond two years and coulit not hnvo boon mistaken. The wit ness \\cnt to the sho\v at IJojd's and afU'r the show ho saw Richmond again at the cor ner of Fourteenth and Dodge. The witness asked Richmond if ho had scon n fellow.who lived up on Cumlng street , and Kichmond said ho had not boon on Guiuing street all day. day.Oftleor P. J. Kclloy , who had been sent for * by the coroner , came In nnd wns put on th < ) stand. Ho testified that ho was on day duty on Cuming street ; was botwooii Twentieth and Twenty-eighth streets nil day Sundny : know Klolu nud Sp'iglo by sight ; saw both of them Just after ho had reported by telephone to the station at either U or1 o'clock In the afternoon ; saw Bplglo going in tbo front door of tbo saloon ; Klein was thcro , but got Into hla buggy at the corner of Twenty-first street and drove away while Splglo went into tbo saloon. Witness spoke to Spiglo nnd asked him if bo didn't bavo sense enough to go round to tbo back door on Sunday. Splglo did not reply , but wont inside. Tbowitness know Splirlo and felt sure ho could not bavo been mistaken. Mr Oannon tried to rattle the witness by cross-questioning him , but did not succeed. Max Schiller , a young man who is in tbo grocery business on North Sixteenth street , was then called by Mr. Gannon. Ilo tosti- Hod that ho wns in tbo pool room on Four teenth and DoJgo streets Sunday afternoon between 3 and 3 o'clock ; saw Richmond tlioro but did not remember seeing Davis.
