Richmond, Va., October 6.—General Worthy Foreman Griffith called the second session of the Knights of Labor convention to order at 9 o’clock this morning, in the absence of Powderly, who was detained at his hotel bv business. It was announced that the committee on credentials was not ready to report, and nothingcould be. done until their renort was received. While awaiting several speeches were made by delegates to aid in idling the time away. Shortly after 10 o’clock Powderly ar rived, and was presented by Brother O’Donnell with a gavel made from the wood of an orange tree that grew on the spot where Gen. Packenliam was killed at the battle of New Orleans. The presenta tion was made on behalf of the New Or leans Knights. It was learned that the committee on credentials would not be ready to report until 2 o’clock this afternoon. The con vention then adjourned until that hour. Before the delegates left the hall Pow derly strongly urged them to avoid the use of strong drink while in Richmond. As individuals, he said, he had no right to dictate as to what they should do, but they were not here as individuals, but as representatives of a vast constituency. The eyes of the world were upon them while here and that constituency would be judged by tbeir conduct. It is expected that the afternoon session will be occupied by the consideration of the report of the committee on credentials, and that actual work will not begin until to-morrow. The convention went into session again this afternoon at 2 o’clock. The report of the committee on credentials was then read. It was very long, and Secretary Turner said it wjiuld take four hours to read it. It was doubtful whether the con sideration of the report could be completed and action on it taken this afternoon. The committee of arrangements of the local knights, appointed to determine the details^ of the entertainment to be given the visitiug knights next Monday, have decided to let the question of the coming of . the white and color ed people at the ball that evening settle itself. It has been arranged to have two dancing pavilions at the state fair grounds. Chairman Lynch said this afternoon that it was not the intention to assign one to white knijjhts and the other to colored knights. This order recognized no such distinctions, but at the same time the feeling here in regard to the social in tercourse of the races was so well under stood that they anticipated no trouble on that score. It was expected, of course, that the colored people would prefer to associate with their own people. If, however, a colored knight and lady should choose to dance with the white people in the other pavilion, he knew of no intention to prevent them. When asked if colored guests should present themselves at the tables where the whites were seated at the banquet, what would be done, lie replied that he expected no trouble in that way, but did not suppose they would be prohibited from doing so. lie intended speaking to Powderly on the subject in a day or so. He repeated, that be expected no trouble. The funds for the entertainment of the guests was raised by the colored and white local assemblies of Richmond. The knights here have separate assemblies, and the colored knights have contributed more than the whites to the entertainment fund The arrangements for Monday next include a parade of the local assemblies and visiting knights, Powderly, the execu tive committee and the invited guests in carriages. Speeches will be made by Sen ator-elect Daniel, Governor Lee, Mr. Pow derly and others. Although the second dry of the Knights of Labor convention has passed, that, body is not yet ready to begin the business which culled it together. Nothing could be done before the organization of the convention, and before that is done it is necessary to know who are entitled to membership of the convention. The first step toward accomplishing that result was taken yesterday, when a committee on credentials was named. From the time of the organization of tha 1 committee it has been busily engaged going through the tedious and laborious task of examining the list of delegates from the assemblies throughout the l nited States and Canada and comparing with I Secretary Turner’s books to determine the standing of the assemblies they represent j and the claims of the assemblies to be, rep- resented. Over this work they toiled until a lute hour last evening and the toil was ( resumed early this morning. When the convention assembled at 9 t o’clock the work was still incompleted, and the convention was compelled to ad journ to 2 o’clock this afternoon to await ! its completion. When the convention went into session at that hour the report was not completed in all its details j and was not presented till II o’clock. From that hour until 5:30 o’clock the time was occupied in reading the long roll of over 800 names. The committee has | reached a decision on all j but eight or ten names, and these | were refbfred to the convention itself. I he | report presented was unanimous. Protests [ were made on behalf of the delegates ex cluded by the decision of tlie committee, j Arguments were made for and against the acceptance of the report. If the state ments of the delegates w f ho left the hall | during the debate may be be- , lieved, the feeling shown on both sides in the several cases | was very strong. At length the report ; was accepted and it was decided t hat those whose names had been read from the roll | prepared by the committee on credentials were entitled to seats. When this result was reached the others were requested to leave, and quietly retired from the hall. The work of assigning seats to the re maining delegates was then began and ——oi 7-an nVlm-lf. when an of membership entitle them to.

CONTEMPTIBLE CONDUCT. This evening delegates from district 49,of New York, sixty in number, with twe nty additional delegates from other districts, marched to the academy of music where Randmann is playing Hamlet. In the fore most ranks was Frank Farrell, the colored delegate of district 49, who was refused admission at a hotel on account of his color. One of the leaders bought c-ighty tickets for orchestra seals and distributed them to his fellow-delegates. All marched toward the door keeper with Farrell at the head. The management of the theatre de termined to avoid trouble. Farrell was admitted. took a seat in the front row of the orchestra chairs and remained undis turbed throughout the performance. This action of the New York Knights of L ibor will create great excitement in Richmond and provoke the resentment even of many white men who belong to the Knights of Labor. It is the first time a colored man or woman sat throughout a performance in other than the section re served for colored people. In the theatre here about eight yenrs ago a young man escorted a fashionably-dressed woman into the Richmond theatre, where they occu pied orchestra seats. The woman was whiter than many having no negro blood and her race was not suspected. After she had sat there an hour the manager was told that she was of negro descent. She was ordered to leave and did so. The same evening a light-colored mulatto gained en trance to tiie dress circle. When noticed an uproar ensued, the play stopped, the audience yelled “ hang him !” and violence was threatened. He left the theatre. One result, the citizens here say, will follow the admission of Farrell to the academy of music. It will insure the elec tion of George D. Wise, democratic candi date for congress in this district. Wad- dilly is the republican candidate, and Mul len, master workman of the Knights of _nbor of this district, is the labor candidate. Now they say no white man will vote for him. The Phil Kearny Post No. 13 G. A. R. have invited the G. A. R. members ol' the Knights of Labor here to a reception to-morrow evening. THE RED DEVILS. The Hostile Aptu-lieK StealTwo Humlmi IIoi-m-m. Chicago, October 5.—The Times’ spe cial from El Paso,Texas, says news has been received which confirms what has been feared for several weeks, that the hostile Apaches are still out and the cap ture of Geronimo did not end the Apache war. Lieut. Britton Davis, recently of the United States army, is now manager of a ranch in Chihuahua. Eight hostile Apaches raided the ranch during hiB ab sence and drove away two hundred nnlles. He started in pursuit and after following the thieves for several days under the im pression that they were rust lers, came up with them sixty miles from this city ir Chihuahua. He was amazed to find that they were Apaches. A sharp battle ensued, but none of the pursuing party were seriously hurt. The Apaches have evidently been camping for months only ninety miles from El Paso. Lieutenant Davis says that old Maugns was the leader of the thieves. Mangus has been for twenty years t he terror of the border. He is regarded as a far abler tactician than Geronimo and is imbued with a deeper hatred of the whites. Mangu3 and Geronimo are half-brothers, both being sons of the great Apache chief, Mangus, of Colorado, said to have been the worst Indian ever known to the early white settlers. Lieutenant Davis says in: pursued Mangus and his band to within twenty-five miles of El Paso, where lie abandoned the trail which led in this direction, not however, until he had learn ed that Mangus had been joined by three bucks of Geronimo’s party who o oaped from Foil Bowie. Davis thinks the hostiles arc by this time in New Mexico and they intend to make a raid through New Mexico and Arizona. VVliat is Transpiring on the Other Side of the Waters.

Milton’s Bridge, Pa., October 5.—Last summer Noah Mott a farmer of Lyell township, took a 14-year-old boy named Orrin Sullivan to earn his keeping in the former’s family. The boy’s parents were drunken and disreputable people, who had always neglected him, and who disap- { >eared from the vicinity last spring, eaving the boy to shift fbr himself. He was an extremely bad boy, but in the hope of reforming him and making something of him Farmer Mott took him in. Young Sullivan was sullen and disliked work, but performed such duties an were laid out for him, but always under protest and grumblingly. One day last week he Hew in a passion at a horse he was leading, and was hammer ing it unmercifully with a fence rail when discovered by Mrs. Mott. She ordered tin* boy to cease, and lie swore at her and call ed her vile names. SSie told her husband of the boy’s conduct, and he btrated Sul livan soundly, and ordered him to emit the premises and never come back. The boy went away cursing and muttering. The next morning Father Mott found his thirteen cows in his barn yard, each with its tail severed close to its body. A corn cutter, the blade covered with blood, 1;^’ in the vard. On entering his barn after this shocking discovery, the farmer found two valuable colts hamstrung, and a favor ite mare dead, with her throat cut. The poultry house floor was covered with dead chickens. No one has any doubt that this frightful work was done by Orrin Sullivan out of revenge. The country is being scoured bv searchers after the young vil lain, and it will fare badly with him if he is caught. As yet no trace of him has been found. REPARATION WANTED. Buffalo, October 3.—Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland has passed a very quiet Sunday with her friends in Buffalo. Ar rangements had been made for her to at tend the morning service at the Central Presbyterian church, of which she was Alleged Outrage l i Ottawa, Out., October 6 was completed at 7:30 o’clock, when an adjournment was taken to 9 to-morrow morning. _ , , During the afternoon session Powderly received the following telegram : Terre Haute, Ind., October 5.—The brotherhood of locomotive firemen send congratulations and best wishes, and wish you and your order every success. [Signed] D. P. SARGENT. The telegram was read and a committee was appointed to send a suitable reply. Powderly also received by wire to-day from Richmond, Ind., the congratulations and thanks of James L. Townsend, colored, of Post 49, G. A. R., for the stand he had taken in behalf of the colored race. To-morrow will be taken up in the dis cussion of the question of the admission or rejection of eight or ten delegates whose cases were referred to the convention by the committee on credentials. They come from several states and consist of members of delegations from assemblies claiming a larger representation than the strict rules a member when Dr. Sunderland was pastor. ■ ion government are interesting themselves and she was to have been accompanied in behalf of George Matheway, a British by Mrs. Daniel N. Lockwood. Mrs. * * ‘ Lockwood drove to the house on Bryant street for her at 10 o’clock, but for some reason she did not go. It is thought she declined on account of notices in the morn ing papers that she would attend worship there. The church was crowded, and after service was over the sidewalks for the whole block were lined with people w it- ing to catch a glimpse of the wife of the president. Mrs. Cleveland spent the morning at the house of her aunt, 230 Bryan street. It is a two story and a half frame house, stand ing on the south side of the street. It has a big bay window in front and n cosey piazza at the side—a place that in that lo cation would rent for $35 a month. One of 1 he surprises of tlie morning was a present from the lonesome husband at Washing ton. Wilson S. Bissell went fbr it at 11 o’clock on Saturday night. It came by the Lehigh Valley, via Philadelphia, and was marked “very valuable.” What it was no one knows. This afternoon Mrs. Cleveland took luncheon at the palatial residence of Nel son Holland, Buffalo’s lumber king, at the corner of Delaware avenue and Bryant street. The Hollands have long been friends ol the Folsoms. Some idea of the wealth of Mr. Holland may be had from the fact that recently his confidential clerk owned up to stealing $85,000 from him, for which he was merely discharged.

Finally it endorses its guberna torial candidate. Chicago, October 6.—The triumphant ■ ition to-day nominated ! prediction made by State’s Attorney Oriu- tiell, at the close of the anarchists’ trial, and echoed since by Capt. Sell sack and others of the state’s forces, that the verdict of death rendered against Spies and his fellow-prisoners was a verdict of death to anarchism in Chicago, has not beon made good by subsequent developments. Even at the time when it was made, most well- informed persons must have known that the boost was ill considered or insincere. Most likelv it was the former for Mr. Grin- noll, but reflected the popular feeling that there was no real difference between an archism and socialism, and that all con cerned in either alike ought to lie hanged. Proceeding upon this cheerlul theory, there are not less than 30,000 candidates for the gallows in Chicago to-day—to say nothing of many thousands in other cities i/the union. Certainly there are fully that number of able-bodied workingmen in this city who are daily laboring and contributing of their substance to the defenoe and sup port of the convicted eight now languish ing in jail.

October 5.—The for divorce brought b.\ Miss jeflVeys Lewis, the actress, against her lni.,baiid, Adolph Maitland, are full of scandalous revelations. They are largely made up of accounts of alleged verbal abuse and heatings to which he subjected her. The scandal, however, regarding her own conduct is a good deal more interest ing. Mr. Maitland is still in Australia, whither he went with his wife when stie was on a professional tour. He is an Englishman, und until “Bonanza” times was a music teacher at a small interior town. By sheer luck lie became rich at Virginia City, but almost as rapidly went down ngain on the other Bide of the hill of fortune- He came to San Francisco with tiie reputntion of wealth and laid siege to the heart of Miss Jeffreys Lewis while she was playing at the California theatre in “Diplomacy.” They were married in 1878. Rumors were almost immediately heard of Mr. Mait land’s cruelty. They subsequently sepa rated, came together again and again sep arated. The latest reconciliation was just before their departure for Australia. A STAGE LOVER’S CHARMS. 'Mins -Lewis returned iVom-flkepn alone and has since been starring in strongly emotional parts with Mr. Harry Mainhafl as her leading support. He was married, but, as the story goes, she showed great fondness for him, and he yielded, it is said, to her fascinations. Mr. Mainhall’s wife objected to the growing intimacy, and for six months remained away from him. He, meanwhile, professed repentance and there was n reconciliation with the pro vision that Mrs. Mainhall should lie pres ent at all rehearals and performances in which he appeared with Miss Lewis. The arrangement did not last long. At Port land, Oregon, Miss Lewis put her foot down and asserted her empire. Either Mrs. Mainhall must not be at the rehearsals or she would leave the company. To prevent tliis disaster Mrs. Mainhall consented to absent herself. Boon afterward Mr. Main- hall is said to have confessed that he was in the trammels of MiHs Lewis and that she loved him better than his wife did. Mrs. Mainhall left him and began proceed ings here for divorce, which was granted Inst month. Mr. Mainhall telegraphed her asking to be taken bnek. declaring ho was “out of the trammels.” Ilis wife states that Miss Lewis paid the costs of the suil and that she in now working fur a divorce for herself, in order that she may marry Mainhall. Miss Lewis, in an interview, fails to deny this. Thestorv has created a sensation here. Mr. Maitland has moved in the bust society on the Pacific coast. that there is an ample fund ut hand for tiie prosecution of long and expensive ap peal to the supremo court of the state, in a word, so fnr is it from true that the con victed eight nre alone and friendless, that they should rather be described ns reveil ing in the substantial sympathy of their friends. tl is not difficult to learn who these sym pathizers are. They hold public meetings, at which they bitterly denounce the “capi tal stie press” as the prime agent of their friends’ discomfiture, ami openly subscribe money to the defense fund. The testimony of Parsons in his mvn defense has been re duced to a thin pamphlet and peddled throughout the land upon the plea that the proceeds were for the support of Mrs. Parsons. Workingmen paid the cost of the printing and bought the pamphlet without reluctance or concealment. Every sort of appeal has been made to every sort of peo ple for money to roverse the decision which, two months ago, was pronounced by the consensus of allgood citizens to be a virtuous visitation. These foots, though they lie within the scope of the most casual investigation, are “robably not known t.o one-tenth of the Horn l Mt>, Wy.

It' they were, it may be doubted whether tho city would dare trust itself out doors at night. Most peo ple have no talent for discriminating be tween theories. The sequence of facts has happened to associate in their minds socialism and anarchism as two frightful horned monsters, whose touch is death and whose breath is a destroying flame. They know nothing of possession as dis- tinguisod from pmpwrty, and nerw hnwrt- of Proudhon in their lives; they simply know that eight men who have been oalled socialists and anarchists indi- oriminately were sentenced to be hanged for bomb throwing, and the., say, withal! their hearts, God speed tin- day of the hanging of these and all the! like. The fact is that there is barely a hatful of revolutionary bomb throwing so eialists in Chicago. Jo3ephGruennut knows more about so eialists and socialism than any other man in Chicago.

There arc 29,000 avowed socialists in Chicago. There are 00,090 Knights of Labor who are socialists, if they only knew It, because they are labor ing for tiie same und, namely, to compel the public to solve the problem of capital and labor.

The force lias now been reduced fully 400. When asked if there would ho further dis charges, Mr. Benedict said : “Not to any particular extent. Not for the reasons that nave influenced the discharges for the past week, us I have now reduced the working force to as low a limit us I dure undertake, considering the demand being made upon the office. While I have reached a reduc tion of about $32,000 expense monthly in the labor rolls, the additional sum required to he saved must he reached through the stinted purchase bf material, and supplies of all kinds necessary, until congress lias an opportunity to relieve the financial em barrassment surrounding the office.” Borne of the discharged employes have preferred charges against Jatnes \V. White, foreman of the bindery. They allege that while under Mr. Rounds lie” di $10,000 worth of work annually for parties on the outside. The matter will be investigated. A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE TO BE MARRIED. Miss Annie Van Vechten, of Albany,who was so greatly admired during her stay in Washington last season ns the guest of Miss Cleveland, returned a week since from Europe, where she has been for five mouths post. It is whispered about by tho friends of Justice Grey, of the supreme court, that after all these years of bache lorhood he contemplates assuming the duties of a happy benedict, and that the beautiful Miss van Vechten will be asked to preside over the handsome residence be will soon build on the oorner of Sixteenth aud K streets. While in London Miss Van Vechten was presented at oourt, and en tertained on several occasions by Whistler, the artist, who is an own cousin, and also by Minister Phelps. A Cabinet Heeling. Washington, October 6.—The cabinet meeting to-day was attended by Secreta ries Eudieott and Lamar, Attorney-Gen- ur.i! Gxriand, Postmaster-General Vilas and Acting Secretary Fairchild. An inter esting question arose in the case of a TThited States district attorney who has been nominated for congress, with regard to the propriety of his continuance ill office pending tiie result of the con gressional election. The general opinion expressed was that the incumbent had j better resign his federal office, and he will | be so informed. This action is in accord- I a ! f nee witli the executive order in regard to- aderal officials participating in politics. Till' Silver llollurn.

I They don’t know what anarehy is. They I may catch a revolutionary fever as they I would catch the. smull-pox, and then fancy I themselves to he anarchists. Anarchy, except as a theory, is crankery, and archists arc cranks. How many are ti in Chicago? You might as well ask me how many men are drunk in Chicago. The drunk to night are sober in the morn ing. So with the anarchists. No sane man, no thinking man, no reading man, no reflective man, ever conceived that the existing state of things in America was to be overturned by violence.

This was refused md the mob battered down the doors. A delegation of members were sent to bring >wt the prisoner, while tiie others were detailed to guard the roads leading to the teene. Wallace was wakened from sleep. 1 ragged out to the infuriated crowd ana vas asked if he had anything to say. He n- replied by strongly protesting his inno cence, still adhering to the story that it was the negro Vaughan who was guilty. This angered tiie mob more than ever, and with a shout they produced a rope, one end of which they placed around the murderer’s neck and the other to the limb of a tree. The prisoner still protested his innocence and appealed for mercy without avail. Strong hands grasped the rope and Wallace’s body swung in the air. Another chance was not given him to confess, and in a few minutes his body was a corpse. The mob down and took possession of the body. There is no clue to the leaders or partici pants in the lynching. Republican Gains In Connecticut. Hartford.
