WASHINGTON , Nov. 30. ( Special. ) "I do
not think that John J. Ingulis will ever
again bo sent to the senate by the republi
cans of Kansas , " says ex-Governor Isaac
Sharp ut the Grashoppcr commonwealth ,
"You see Ingalls had the tcnatorshlp for
eighteen years. He has been out four years ;
that maken n total of twenty-two years since
lie started upon his career. You will observe
that n now generation of strong and ambi
tious young men has grown up and taken
actlvo Interest In political affairs during
those years. The young republicans of Kan-
tas ore now In charge of the political ma
chinery. They all feel that Senator Ingalls
had long enough lease of power and fame ,
and they < lo not want to stand aside for him
any longer. They realize that Ingalls Is a
gieat man , but they do not feel that they
owe htm homage. "
"When Senator David Davis of Illinois
was marrhtl , " says Charlie Murray , now of
Now York , "I was hero representing a Pitts-
burg paper , anil went , with a number of
other correspondents , to Fayettevllle , N. C. ,
to report the wedding. I learned from the
telegraph operator that ho had never handled
large batches of correspondence. When I
told him that I would want to file' 2,000 or
may bo 2,500 words on the evening of the
wedding , and that the other correspondents
would want to do the same , he nearly
'
fainted. I helped him out and did myself a
good turn at the same time by writing my
description of the country , the appearance o"
the bride , her wedding dress , and a descrlp
tlon of the bridesmaids , early In the after
noon. The bride's parents and friends aided
me greatly. I also wrote a good description
ot the church that afternoon ; and , as al'
weddings are alike , I wrote a good dcscrlp
tlon of the ceremony , Including the music by
the organist. The operator sent all ot this
along before 6 o'clock , and I then merely
waited for the conclusion of the ceremony , In
order to get a train and leave the place.
"There occurred that evening a good Jok
on Mr. Dunnell of the New York Times
, Just before Dunnell reached the telegrapl
office with Ills copy 13. J. Kdwards , who then
represented the New York Sun , handed In hU
story , and the operator began sending It ,
Mr. Dunnell had to wait his turn. Edward
went off to commune with his old friend an 1
Intimate enemy , Bacchus , and the telegrap
operator was unable to IIml him when h
needed him to explain his hieroglyphics. Al
delays were exasperating to Mr. Dunnell , an
he therefore was obliged to sit there an
read the manuscript of his rival , In order I
get It on * and out of the way , so that h
could file his own story and get It through t
his paper. Mr. Dunnell Is never profane , bu
he came very near swearing that evening I
North Carolina. "
Congressman John Allen of Mississippi , ac
cording to his own admission , war a prett
bad little boy. For a long time he live
on a farm In Tlshomlngo county and ro
celved only a common school education , th
best to be had then. He was' no more fond
of Sunday school and the church than ho
was ot leaving his play In the fields and go
ing to day school , and he was nearly 10 years
of ago when he first attended the country
Presbyterian church with his parents cno
Sunday at the conclusion of the week of
prayer. Communion services wcro held that
morning. Little John was unfamiliar with
the way ho should conduct himself. He
says : "It was a long sarmon that morning ,
and at the conclusion I was pretty well worn
out and tired. The tnrmon was over at
last , however , and the elders.of the Presby
terian church were distributing the bread
und wine. Not knowing that such things
were only for members of the church ,
I partook heartily of both nrtl-
clea , much to the trepidation of my father
and mother. Still I did not understand
for what purpose these things were done , and ,
boyllke , I received the pacullar Impression
that they were served a refreshments to be
partaken of after long sermons. Thoroughly
Imbued with this Idea , when the elder came
around again I accosted him thus : 'Say ,
elder , you haven't got a little cheese , have
your H Is only necessary to iul.1 that my
pareuta were greatly mtrttflecl , anil It took
a good month of tall talking to their friends
to explain my Ignorance and Innocence. "
"Tho corridors of the capital were oc
cupied by men and women who sold pies
cakes , cigars , tdbacco. trinkets and apples , "
says Hon. Thomas Cavanaugh , late deputy
nergeant-at-ai inn of the house of representa
tives. "Speaker Jleed sent me one morn-
liiK and told me'that he wanted the corridors i-
ii
dors cleared of these public nuisances. I
told htm the people ought to have some time
to get out , as they had long been In posses
sion of their niches and wcro dependant
upon them for their livelihoods. * Mr. Reed said
that he believed they should have ample
time to make changes which would not leave
them stranded , and suggested sixty days as
sufficient time for them to remove their
stands. He thereupon ordered the corridors
cleared , and directed me to carry out the
order. I at once notified every Individual
to bo affected by the order , and told them
that no amount of Influence could change the
determination of the speaker. They re
luctantly acquiesced , all but a lady who kept
a cigar stand. Her husband had been there
for several years , and had recently died
leaving her that cigar stand near the main
door of the house as her only means ot sup
port. She objected , and called upon Per
numerous friends to protest against the or
der. They weat to the speaker and pleaded
with him to make an exception In her case
but Mr. Heed said that there must be no ex
ception. He said that If ono were cxceptcd <
others would demand the same exemption
through their friends. Finally , several
gentlemen proposed to raise a fund to buy
out the cigar stand , so that the widow would >
lose nothing. Thereupon I made an In
ventory" of her goodaand found them to ben
worth something like $700. I gave the In
ventory to the speaker , and he called the con
gressmen who wanted to buy her out to nils
r om. and told them that he would ad
the list with a subscription of X50. en
they found that the total was $700 and that
they would have to contribute S50 each they
alt declined , and that ended the objection tc
the order. The keeper of the pe ! stand
whwSo name was 'Jennie , was the most
tractable of them all. She smiled her as
sent , and the others followed suit. At the
conclusion ot tha sixty days notice all ol
them moved out and the capital ccrrldort
haVe ever Unco been free from llttlo stands
ot that nature. They were an eyesore tc
the place and Mr. Heed deserves commenda
tion for having Issued the order. There
wcro a pumbcr of lady typewriters In the
various' window niches , and every one ol
them brought their Influence to bear upon
the speakir to make exceptions ot them , nit
no exceptions were made and all ; re
obliged to go. There have been several
typewriters permitted to cccupy wlndou
nlchca since that time , and they really seen
necessary for the assistance of members of
congress when they are anxious to have worl
done Immediately , But , as a general thing
coiiKreism-n can nave all their typewrltlni
done by their prtvato secretaries at thcli
homes flr In their committee rooms. At tin ;
name time Speaker Reed abolished the ladles
reception room , which had become'so notorl
ous that lioneit women were telJcni seer
there. After the work of removal had beei
accomplished the speaker complimented mi
very highly for having carried out his ordei
with so little frlctlcn. I felt very sorr ;
for old 'Jennie , ' for she was a good woman
who sold good plea and was always In goci )
humor < Kverybdy liked her. She wai
provided for In ono ot the departments by raua i

WASHINGTON , Dec. 1. There Is strong
undercurrent ot belief among members of
congrcsi that the Nicaragua canal will re-
celvo very earnest consideration during the
session of congress which begins on Monday.
This feeling Is especially pronounced at the
house and at the capltol , and prevails par
ticularly among southern members. Even
these who , like Mr. Bailey of Texas , oppose
the bill on constitutional and economic
grounds , concede that the question H one
which will receive early attention at the
hands of congress and most cf thorn are of
the opinion that the proipccta ot Its success
are good. Some express doubt about the
expediency of an effort to pass upon a ques
tion of such Importance at a thne months'
session , while others think It Is Just the
time to act. MiS Cooper of Florida , whose
state has ever been an enthusiastic sup
porter of the canal scheme , today said that
the democratic party could do nothing which
would do more to restore Its popularity than
to authorize the construction of the canal ,
"Tho fact that we were defeated at the
late election Instead of causing us to lit
supine during the remaining days of our
power , should , " he said , "cause us to work
with all the greater determination. The
democratic party Is the party which added
the Mississippi valley nnd the Pacific conn
to our national map and It Is the party which
should provide for this great enterprise. It
the party will do this during the short ses
sion of congress and provide for a more
elastic currency and the appointment of fed
eral ofllcers upon the recommendation of a
majority of their constituents as shown by
actual votes east , 1 Infer It will not long bo
out of power. "
Representative Livingston of Georgia en
tertalns similar views in regard to similar
action at the present session. He says tha
If the democrats do not act upon the bill a
the next session the republicans are mire to .
take It up when thty como Into power nnd
take all the credit. He saya that It has be
come evident that outsiders want the contto
of the canal. Mr. Livingston says there was
a tacit understanding during the last B'.sslon
that the bill should have attention at the
short session and he thinks It will , nnd In
all probability be taken up by the house a'
dlspossed of before the Christmas holidays.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 1. An error has been
discovered In the enrolling of the sundry
which has seriously Inconvenienced tevcra
states In securing surveys , For several year
past this bill , In the appropriation for th
survey of public lands , contained a provlslo ;
that "In the states ot Montana , Wyoming
Colorado , Utah , Washington , Idaho and Oregon
gen , there may be allowed with the approva
of the secretary of the Interior for the sur
vey of lands heavily timbered , mountalnou
or covered with dense growth , rates not ex
ceeding $25 per lineal mile for standard and
meander miles , $23 for township and $20 for
section lines , "
This provision was Incorporated tn the last
bill and was accepted by the senate without
opposition. But It appears that In engrossing
the bill the provision was omIU"d ami as
It was signed by the presiding officer of both
house and senate and the president , the bill
became a law without the provision. When
the surveyor general of the states came to
make contracts It was found there were no
surveyors who would engage to survey the
lands described In the omitted provision at
the regular rates. Complaints were made
and upon Investigation It was found to be
purely a clerical error. It is. . understood that
steps wilt bo taken to have the error cor
rected In the urgency deficiency bill , which
will pass probably before the holiday recess
and contracts can bo made for surveys to
the full amount of the , appropriation.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 1. The demurrers lethe
the Indictments of President H. O. Have-
moycr nnd Secretary John F. Searles of the
American Refining company and Broker Al
len Seymour for refusal to testify before the
senate Sugar trust Investigating committee
were filed In the district supreme court
today. They are based mainly on constitu
tional grounds , holding that the Indictments
do not show that the requests for the Information
mation or the data sought are within the
, jurisdiction or authority of the senate. It IB
claimed that the Indictment of Secretary
Scarlcs Is bad because It falls to show tha
the questions which are quoted as unan
- swered were asked by the committee with
Its authority ; and the Indictments failed to
show that the questions came within the
authority of the senate or the senate com
mittee ; that the power to punish for refusal
to answer cannot bo delegated tea court
nor the determination of the facts bo com
mitted to n Jury ; that the Indictments do
not charge the defendant with having knowl
edge or Information necessary to answer the
questions or the right or authority to obtain
Information from the books of the Sugar
trust. . President Havemoyer asserts that
his Indictment does not show that the re
quest was made by the committee or with
Its authority. In Broker Seymour's demur
rer , It Is claimed that congress has no
power to make the refusal of such witnesses
to testify a crime nor the right to delegate
to courts the power to punish for contempt.

Little Mary Griffith may not realize the
fact , but she Is having a hard time to find
a home , and Is the object and subject ot
habeas corpus proceedings which tve-e com
menced In Judge Scott's court yesterday
afternoon.
L. Griffith Is a motorman In the employ of
the street railway company , and Is father of
the girl In question , who Is less than two
years of age. Some time ago Griffith and the
mother of the girl separated. The woman
went to the poor farm and was an Invalid
there until October 24 , when she died. She
had resisted all efforts of her husband to
get possession of their child nnd shortly be
fore her death gave the little one Into the
keeping of Mrs. Amanda St. John , who llve.s
out on Decatur street. Mrs. St. John gave
the child to a family named Morton , who
were about to adopt It. Mr. Griffith married
again and a few days ago went to the Horton
residence and asked to be given the child
The little one was 111 at the time and Grlfllth
summoned a physician , who forbade the re
moval of the baby on account ot her Illn'ss ,
The Hortons were ready to give the baby tc
Its father , but Mrs. St. John could not sei
It that way and she went at once and re
moved the baby to her own home.
Mr. Grlfllth thsn filed nn application for
wrjt of habeas corpus ( or the possession o
the child , alleging his ability and wllllngnes
to take the child nnd furnish her a home
The application was granted and Mrs. St ,
John cited to appear before Judge Scott on
Monday to show cause. If any exists , why sh
should not surrender the child to Its father.

Two young fellows who were In Ihe crlml
nal division of the district court escape
terms In the penitentiary yesterday , an
there Is not a question of their guilt In th
minds of the court or the lawyers conncctei
with the cose.
Some time ago William Mllburn and Fran'
Jones were arrested , charged with burglary
Thpy were accused of having broken Into
caboose In the railroad yards and of havln
stolen about a dozen suits of clothes an
other property of the train men. Part o
the clothing and a revolver belonging to on
of the train men wcro found In the posscsslo
of the prisoners , and It looked like a clea
casn against them. Pat O. Hawes was sup
posed to bo counsel for one of the prisoner
and the trouble growing out of the cas
landed Halves in jail on a charge of con
tempt lodged by Judge Scott. The cas
finally went to trial , and the Jury In It
wisdom acquitted tha accused of the cliarg
of burglary and found them guilty of pet
larceny , fixing the value of the stolen goods a
When the verdict was returned Judge Scoi
criticised the action of the Jury severe !
and stated that the verdict was not In ac
oordance with the evidence , and that If th
defense would move for a new trial th
verdict would bo set aside. But the dc
, fenso was not looking for a new trial. Tli
Intimation of the court fell on heedless ear
and the attorney for the prisoners cooly an
nounced that ho was ready to allow the ac
cused to take their medicine under the finding
, of the jury. The court had no option In the
matter , and proceeded to fine the prisoners
$100 each under the verdict , telllnjfthem that
he was Eure that they were guilty of burr
glary and were dangerous men In the com
munity , but he 'regretted that the Jury had
let them off EO much lighter than they de
served.
The prisoners managed to keep their faces
straight while the sentence was being pro
nounced , but It was easily seen that they
were the happiest men In the court house.
Two Yvtri for htc.dliiR Hens.
Madison Mllburn was sentenced to two
years In the penitentiary by Judge Scott yes
terday , having been convicted of burglary.
The prisoner Is a cripple , and was arrcsUd
a year ago on the charge of robbing hen
roosts , but eft-aped conviction by a techni
cality. He was arrested again a short
time ago on the charge of having broken
Into a barn In the northern part ot the city
and stolen a bunch of fine chickens. As
the barn had been locked the charge of bur-
glary was lodged against Mllburn , and the
Jury found him guilty with a recommendation
that the court show him mercy In passing
sentence.
,
"While you are a cripple and entitled to
sympathy , " said the court In passing sen
tence , " you are an all round chicken thief.
No man Is safe In trying to raise chickens
while you are In the country. You be
longed to a gang that was making chicken
stealing a business. Burglary seems to be
the prevailing crime In this city. It Is
\3 \
getting co that a man can not leave his
house for twenty minutes without expecting
a call from your class of people. That
kind of business must bo stopped. The Jury
has recommended you to the mercy of the
court , and that saves you several years at
Lincoln , otherwise I would give you the
limit. "
Mllburn was sent up for two years.

Notwithstanding the fact jhl\l' \ Wednesday
was the day before Thank .fjh/ng / an es
pecially busy time for housokrbpers about
100 ladles assembled In tlie y rnan's club
rcoms to enjoy the program presented by the
Musical department. ' . 'Y'
Since the History department reorgan
ized and now meets nt 4 o'clock'on Wednes
days , It was found necessar1 , ' change the
hour ot the Musical department from 3
o'clock to half-past 2 , This 'cnifhge not hav
ing been well understood Inliiy were late
and missed tUy > first part pt- ( lie program ,
which was opened by nn Instructive paper on
Scarlatti by Miss Mary Uaiey. , ) | These
papers that are read from time to time are
among the most attractive features of the
work the Musical department Is doing ,
aside from entertaining the audience by
musical numbers. Miss Buchanan , the able
leader , has Interested the department In the
development of music and the use ot the dif
ferent musical forms. Miss Clara Hawley ,
who Is fast overcoming" the nervousness
which formerly troubled her , Illustrated
Scarlatti's music by two piano solos , a bur-
lesca nnd pastorale , both Intelligently and
effectively rendered. Mr < Thomas Kclley's
promised paper resolved Itself Into a most
delightful address , reviewing and analyzing ,
not so much the life of Haydn , as the works
of that great composer. Modestly waiving all
claims as a speaker Mr. Kelley showed
Wednesday that ho thoroughly understood
himself , his audience and his subject ,
three necessary qualifications of an
Interesting speaker.
Miss Munchoff sang the recitative and aria
"With Verdure Clad" from "The Creation. "
Miss Munchoff has a fresh soprano voice ot
good quality , and her rendition of this diffi
cult selection reflected great credit , not only
upon the young lady herself , but upon Mrs.
Cotton , with whom she Is studying. Miss
Munchdff received such warm applause that
she reappeared and charmingly sang an old
English ballad "Love Was Once a Little
Boy. " Mrs. Charles Morton was heard by
the department for the first time In Char-
nlnado's "Rltournelle , " a number well suited
to her voice. She , too , received an encore ,
and sang a p'alntlve Norwegian song by
Loge.
Haydn's Trio No. 1 for piano , violin and
vlollncello was delightfully rendered by Mine.
Hess-Fuchs , Miss Allen and Mr. Lltoreky ,
three performers who are great favorites will
the department , and so well known to the
public that It seems unnecessary to comment
upon their playing ; suffice to say that the
trio was most Intelligently Interpreted , the
last movement being played with all the
abandon belonging to Gypsy music In general
and to this rondo In particular. Altogether the
program was one of the most Interesting the
department has presented.
Lester Bodlne of this oily Is In rccelp
of a letter from D. Blakely , manager o
Sousa's band. In which Mr. Blakely conveys
the Intelligence that Sousa has accepted fo
his program "Little Queen Irene. " the new
song , which Is the Joint production o
Messrs. Bodlne and Packard of this city ,
Sousa will have his famous band play thi
Omaha song regularly on his next tour o
forty-two "weeks.

Omnlia Member Rerlewj the Work of the

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP ON THE INCREASE
rrcrmrntlanj ( or the Slate Federation MeetIng -
Ing at Lincoln In January Journeymen
linkers and the l.ornl Ilrruit
Combine Do > ot
The general officers ot the Knights of Labor
express a hopefulness for the future of their
organization , and claim _ t li a ttheln _ _ crease
of membership during the"nexO'car wllf : be
much greater than In any of the past years ,
they having systematized the various workIng -
Ing departments ot the order so as to make
them most effective In pushing the work ot
organizing the unorganized workers of the
country.
Mr. J. M. Kcnney of this city , who IB a
member of the general executive board , re
turned from the New Orleans general as
sembly meeting \Vednctday , and Is now at
tending to some special work In Omaha and
vicinity , preparatory to going south , where
ho will remain for reveral months , pitching
organization. When seen at his homo by a
reporter for The Bee and asked regarding the
meeting at New Orleans , he eald :
"I have attended several of the meetings
of the general assembly of the Knights of
Labor , and I doubt If we ever held a meetIng -
Ing In which so much Interest was shown by
the members since the annual meeting In
1886. Every one of the delegates teemed
to want to do whatever was best for the
order , and took a lively Interest In the pro
ceedings. There were some changes made In
the constitution which are very Important.
Under the old constitution we could not ad
mit waiters In restaurants where saloons
run In connection , but now we have changed
that part of the constitution , and will here
after take- them In. The constitution was
also changed regarding the admittance of
past master workmen. Heretofore they have
been admitted to general assembly meetings ,
with voice and vote , the same as delegates ,
This part was stricken out , and a past master
workman cannot gain admission to the general
oral assembly meeting unless he Is a delegate
with credentials the same as any ono else.
Ttio salary of the general master workman
was reduced to $2,500 from $3,500 by the
motion of General Master Workman Sever
eign. ThlH was done to bring his compensa
tion down nearer to the salaries of the other
general ofllcprs , who are also required to
give their whole time to working for the
order.
"There was also a great change made In
the secret work In the way of simplifying
It , so as to make It more icadlly understood
by new members , and yet It Is fully as safe
as the old secret work. We also arrange
for Introducing a system of degrees , as are
now In force In many of the other fraternal
and benevolent societies. We will now com'
plete the degree of the "philosopher's stone , '
which Is being held by Powderly at the prcs
cnt time. This will be obtained and giver
to all those who arc entitled to It an soon
as arrangements can be completedfor Its
distribution to the district and st'ato UK
scmblles. Permission was given to dlstrlci
assemblies In foreign countries to arrangi
the preamble to suit their convenience , and
adapt It to their respective countries , whlcl
will be a great advantage to our worker.
In same countries where conditions dlffp
from those In America. The report sub
in It ted by the general executive board was
the most complete and thorough of any ever
submitted to the general assembly , showing
the actions and work ot all of the genera
officers , and accounting for every dollar tha
was paid Into the treasury. The report also
contained a complete history of the ordei
and will make good reading for the member :
when It Is published In pamphlet form. On :
report was received with but one dissenting
voice.
"Theincxt general assembly will bo held
In WashlngUn , and wo contemplate pur
chasing a site there , where we will build
permanent headquarters. It will interes
the members to learn that our Increasa o
membership during the past year was greate
than any year since 1886. From that tltm
on until lust year the membership of tlr
order steadily declined , but now we hav <
the ball rolling the other way. The gen
era ! assembly passed a resolution Instruct1
Ing the general executive board ID call
meeting of all the officers of our natlona
labor organizations In America for the pur
pose of considering s 1113 plan for tli3 unlflca
tlon of all trades unions and Knlghtu o
Labor assemblies. Till Is will be a different
meeting from the one held last June. The
American Federation of Labor has no power
to' effect euch a union , as It IB simply an
advisory body of the unions that affiliate
with It. The general union of labor cannot
be effected except through the natlcnal
trades unions and lU'scnibllen. This object
we hope to be able to accomplish In the
near future. The date for this meeting has
not been fixed. We are desirous ot meet
ing and consulting the general cfllcers of the
various trades unions and leqrn from them
what datp will suit them best. The meetIng -
Ing will bo called at some central point , and
might postlbly be called for Omaha. It
will undoubtedly be the most Important labor
meeting ever held In America. The date
and place may bo agreed upn at the next
meeting of the general executive board. The
work of the general officers has been greatly
simplified and systematized , being divided Into
departments In order that our work may be
more effective. The greatest efforts will
bo put forth In the suth and northwest.
The demand' fcr labor organizers Is now
greater from the south than we can supply
The southern people are fighters , and the
south Is now ripe for organization. I n -
tlce In the state of Texas that wherever the
Knights of Labor are strong there was u
largo populist vote at the last election.
Previous to the Southwestern ctrlko the
knights were very strong In the couth , but
the strike of 1887 discouraged many of the
most active workers. They have been
dormant for tome time , but arc now awake
to the need cf organization and uro ready to
come In as fast as we can receive them.
As soon as a few matters are attended to
In and around Omaha I expect to go to Texas
where I will spend two or three months or
ganizing local assemblies.

How They 1'eel Over ( lie Itecrnt Action of
tlio llomrs.
Surface. IndlcMUns would lead a disin
terested rerron to believe that there might
soon bo a , lively war In Omaha over the
work of the bread combine. Journeymen
bakers complain that they are compelled tc
work from fourteen to sixteen hours per
day , and some of them threaten to take a
vacation unless some change Is made which
will stop a further reduction of wages and
lengthening of hours of labor ever the hot
oven and amid other tribulations of the
trade. The Journeymen bakers Mem to be
divided as to what Is best to do , but all
agree that they would like fair wages ami
reasonable hours , and the outcome may be
trouble to the bread eaters of Omaha as
well as the bread bakers. Several of the
Journeymen bakers bympathlze with the boss
bakers , who , they eay , are In bad financial
condition with poor prospects of ever being
able to do any better by their employes. Ai
a rule the Journeymen favor a higher price
for bread than the public wishes to pay
and to this dlfferenca of opinion may be
charged the cause of a part ot the trouble
that exists.
The Journeymen who favcr high priced
bread reason with themselves that If theli
employers are making money they will be
able to raise their wage ? and at the same
time reduce their hours of labor per day
No one scema to want to shut off the profits
of the bosses entirely , but a great many
claim that 5-cent pound loaves of bread arc
out of all reason as compared with the
grade cf flour used and Its market value
The Central Labor union 'has ' taken a hand
tn the bread question , which lu ever an Inv
potant one , and Its action seems to havi
further remove : ! the queztlon from vettle-
ment. Some of the Journeymen bakers saj
that the action if the Central Labor unlor
wan Ill-advised , and with this opinion nearl )
all the bom bakers ugrte , more especial ! )
those who are In the combine which tin
Central Labor union proposes to fight. Thi
ourntymtn win hold to this opinion claim
list the Central Labor union too ! , action
without advising with members t > f the
'nkcr * ' union , as Is the custom In inch
BSCJ. U Is noticeable that the bakers'
nlon U "hustling In now members , " as
ne of the wcrkers put It , and It Is claimed
y those who ought to know that when they
ro all united In Omaha they will be a
owcr to carry out their decrees , whatever
hey may be.

PHILADELPHIA , Dec. 1. Two person !
lost their lives In a flro tills morning at tb
frulilonnblo bearding houss ot Mrs. C. B.
Hccvos , 318 South Uroai ] meet.
The tlcntl arc :
MHS. KLLA KAY SMITH.
MISS CULLBNDKN.
They were boarders In the house. The
flro was discovered by a colored waller
shortly before 0 o'clock ( tailing from the
shaft of 11 dumb waiter. Ito attempted to
extinguish the flumes with a bucket of water ,
but 1 the flro liaJ galnc.1 such headway that the
water had no effect. The colored mnn , seO-
Ing that the ( lames were beyond his control ,
riuhcd from room to room to n roil so the
Bleeping boarders , nil of whom were In the
house at the time. llefcro lie had com
pleted his rounds the house was tilled with
smoke , and the man had to II y for his lite.
The fourth story front room was occupied
jy Mrs. Smith , and the mtddlo ro m on the
saino floor by Miss Cullcndcn. The flre-
non were on the PCOIIC ! n n few minutes
and at once turned their attention to res
cuing the boarders on the third and fourtH
Moors. All those tn the third floor wcro
gotten out safely and the firemen rushed to
the fourth floor. They tried the doors ot
Mrs. Smith and Miss Cullendcn's ro-nis , but
found bath locked. The doors wcro quickly
burst open. Lying on the floor In the front
roam was the body of Mrs. Smith partly
wrapped In carpet , which she had torn from
the floor In her agony. Shu had been suffo
cated by the smoke. Marks on the win
dow still showed she had made an effort to
raise the window , but It Is supposed that
In her weak condition she could not get It up.
Miss Cullcndeii was found lying ncross the
bed In her room , having alw lullen from
suffocation. She was dead when reached by
the firemen.
There weio many narrow escapes. Mr.
and Mrs. II. C. 1'ollock occupied rooms on
the first floor. As s.on ai they wcro
aroused Mr. Pollock rushed to the floor above
to aroiuc his daughter. He was partially
overcome by the fincko before ho succeeded
and had to be carried from the building.
B. I. llabourg , who occupied a fourth story
bark room , had n thrilling escapa from suffo
cation. lla saw that Ijls escape down the
stalrw.iy was cut oft and gathering up his
bed clothing rushed to the window and
waved frantically , endeavoring to attract the
attention of the flrumcn. Fireman Hafforty
cf engine No. 2 had by this time. reached
the roof of the burning building and was
attracted to the r.ldc of the building by
Habourg'ft wild ihrlelis. Kaffcrty took In
the situation at a glance. He procured a
short piece of ropa and dropped It to Ra-
bourg. The latter , realizing that this was
his only means of escape , clutched the slen
der strand and was drawn up t ? the root
by the sheer strength ot the fireman. From
the roof he was taken down the ladder. In
safety.
The rear of the house was partially de
stroyed , Involving the loss of a few thou
sand dollars. _ _
