for Bearing the Flag of England.

Pythian Encampment—Session of
the Supreme Lodja Knights of
Pythias—Officers Elected—Eulogies
in Honor of Past Chancellor Shaw.
Parade and Inspeotton of Knights.
Other Washington News.
Washington, Aug. 30.—Indianapolis will
be the place selected for the biennial en
campment of tb 3 Knights of Pythias in
1896. This has been practically decided
on through the withdrawal of the other
contestants for the honor —Boston and
Minneapolis. Notwithstanding the fail
ure of the railroad companies to make low
rates to Washington. 70,000 people have
visited the city since the Pythian encamp
ment began. About two-thirds of these
were Pythians and their friends.
THAT UNION JACK MATTER.
Tn the big parade on Tuesday, the To
ronto division of the uniform rank carried
a British flag, and this has been one of
the principal topics of comment among
the Pythians from this side of the line.
Maj. Gen. Carnahan, commander-in
chief of the uniform rank, is a staunch
supporter of the action of the
Canadians. He says there is not
a division in the order more
loyal to its interests or which takes a
more active part in its affairs. This is
the fourth consecutive encampment
which this particular Toronto division
has attended. Gen. Carnahan says it was
perfectly proper for them to Carry the
union jack, and he holds that it would
have been just as proper for the Cana
dians to have objected when, at the en
campment in Toronto in 1886, all the di
visions carried the Stars and stripes.

the exchequer, caused by the failure of
Mr. Wiley of Wilmington, Del., which

SAFETY AND SILENCE.
Alleged Blackmailing Case Stir* Up a
Tennessee Town.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 30.—John Can
trell and wife and Mrs. Cantrell’s brother,
William Crane, have all been arrested at
Rogersville, Tenn., on a charge of black
mail. The arrests were made at the in
stance of Dr. G. H. Morgan, and the town
is all torn up over the sensation. Dr. Mor
gan is a prominent and wealthy physician,
lie alleges that he has been of
late much beset with attentions from
Mrs. Cantrell. Recently •he was sum
moned to the Cantrell house, ostensibly to
see a sick child. He found Mrs. Cantrell
alone, undressed, and very demonstrative.
Just at this point the husband broke into
the room in a pretended rage. Since
then, the doctor says. Cantrell and Crane
have demanded large amounts of mpney
for his safety and their silence. Rogers
ville Is all agog, and there is another ver
sion of the story in which the doctor plays
a less innocent role.
STATE TAKES NO HAND.
Milwaukee Must Settle Her Own
Troubles Without Outside Aid.
Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 80.—State
troops will not be sent to Milwaukee to
quarantine the city or any oart of it, nor
will the state board of health take charge
here, for the present at least. This the
result of advice given the city authorities
and the state board by Gov. Peck. At a
meeting late this afternoon Gov.
Peck insisted that the local au
thorities should do their full
duty\ He said it was not for them to
turn the whole matter over to the state,
that they had ample authority and ample
force, if force were necessary. If the
state should take charge here as had been
‘requested by the local authorities, the re
ports that would be spread would cause
great b&rm to the city.
Health Commission Keinpster’s resig
nation will be demanded at the next meet
ing of the common council.
“Greasy Jim” Captured.
New Orleans, Aug. 30. —A posse sur

POLICE CAPTAIN’S TRIAL.
Nineteen Charges in the Indictment
, Against John T. Stephenson.
New York, Aug. 30. —After two post
ponements the trial of Police Captain
John T. Stephenson, who is charged with
collecting blackmail from down-town
merchants during the period that he was
in command of the Leonard street squad,
was finally begun before the board of po
lice commissioners this forenoon.
Ira Shafer and ex-Assistant District
Attorney Vincent are, counsel for the ac
cused captain. There are nineteen charges
whicn Capt. Stephenson was called to
answer.
Martin H. Edwards, a produce mer
chant at Duane street, testified that
during the year he had ship{Jted fruit to
Stephenson’s residence in Tremont, at
the request of Policeman Thorn, who said
he was from Stephenson. He had
also, at different' times, paid money
to Stephenson’s officers. On cross
examination, Mr. Shafer tried hard
to make Mr. Edwards admit
that what he paid Stevenson was for the
privilege of violating the law.
“No,” said the witness. “I paid be
cause I had to—paid just as I would do if
held up by a highwayman with a pistol
at my head.”
Mr. Edwards testified that he' had not
been obliged to pay the police any money
for sidewalk privileges since the Lexow
committed began its investigations.
Louis F. Bernholze, produce merchant
of 335 Greenwich street, had erected an
awning in front of his store in 1891 and
had beer stopped by the police. Stephen
son’s wardman told him it could be “fixed”
for $25, and this he paid.
Several other merchants gave similar
testimony.
SCOTCH MINERS VOTE.
Large Numbers of Them Favor Ac
cepting a Reduction.
Glasgow, Aug. 30. —The result of the
ballot taken among Scotch coal miners on
questions involved in the present strike
was announced this morning. The bal
loting shows 25,417 miners in favor of the
proposal of the Miners’ Federation to ac
cept the 6 pence reduction, with guaran
teed wages on that basis for two years,
and 20.942 in favor of insisting upon a
shilling Advance in wages. The mine
owners declare that the balloting, which
shows a majority in favor of accepting a
reduction of 5, pence, does not by any
means put an end to the strike, for the
reason that it will be impossible for them
to guarantee even a minimum of wages
for a period of two years. The owners
assert that this cannot be done, inasmuch
as most of their annual contracts have
been eanoeled by their customers.

THE STORY OF THE STRIKE
As Told Before the National Labor
Commission.
< -
Continuation of Testimony—Mayor
Hopkins Approves of the Conduct of
His Police and Says He Was in Sym
pathy With the Pullman Strikers
Himself—He Contradicts the Report"
that He Asked Debs’ Permission to
Move a Train.
Chicago, Aug. 30.—Chairman Wright
of the national labor commission said
this morning that up to the last of this
month the board will have expended
only $1,500 of the $5,000 which is allowed
for expenses.
Charles Stewart Wade, in the legal em
ploy of the Rock Island road, but at the
time of the sjrike a reporter for a Chicago
morning newspaper, was the first witness
called at the morning session. .Mr. Wade
carefully exaniined switches which had
been tampered with and declared from a
previous knowledge of railroad business
that none but railroad employes could
have so manipulated the complicated
switch system, which was an interlock
ing one. Mr. Wade testified that he
asked a man his employment, who was
inciting a mob to violence, and was told
he was vice president of the carpenters’
union. In several instances he saw cars
overturned and witnessed acts of violence.
The police often stood idly by and
watched these things without interfer
ing. showing evident sympathy with the
strikers. The witness related the case of
a striker who pretended" to be wounded
by the troops in order to work up a feel
ing against them, but on examina-'
tion by the witness it was found
the man had not a gear or scratch on
him. Afterward Wade was made a cap
tain of deputy marshals, and his men
ma.de numerous arrests of men engaged in
rioting. Some of these he recognized as
railroad men. He testified that on one
occasion a man was arrested for intimi
dating a workman by a deputy marshal
within a few yards of a policeman,* who
would not make the arrest himself. Nu
merous Distances were related of dis
turbances in some of which non-union
men were beaten by strikers. Names and
dates were given. On one man a police
man’s club and a pair of brass knuckles
were found. This man said he kept these
“to ticklrti” “scab’s” heads with. Mr.
Wade scored the police force unmerci
fully, and asserted the deputy marshals
he commanded would certainly compare
favorably with the city police, the worst
two on his fbree being ex-members of that
force.
Richard Mooney followed. He was
present at the meeting of Rock Island em
ployes at Blue Island when a strike was
declared on that road. He testified that
neither Debs nor Howard advised the
men to strike. Both were out of the hall
when the vote was taken. As a reason
for striking Mr. Mooney said: “Well, I
struck because the rest struck. When
they quit, I quit.” Mr. Mooney related a
case where a deputy marshal was as
saulted by a mob while nearly 500
marshals stood by and did not interfere.
He also saw marshals stand by while cars
were overturned, and told of instances
where non-union men being assaulted for
working by acquaintances who were rail
road strikers.
“Deputj' Marshal Davidson,” said Mr.
Moonev. “bragged before me of setting
cars on tire and said he would do it again.
Another deputy sat by and heard him but
did not say a word.”
The witness said that beer and tobacco
were furnished in the yards to any men
disposed to be riotous and intimated that
the railroads furnished them/
He himself had been threatened with
violence by two man, one of whom wore
an American Railway Union button, un
less he left his engine. He also heard an
engineer forced to take an oath not to
work on pain of having violence done to
him. .
W. F. Guyon, who was reporter for the
United Press during the, strike, told
what he saw of the destruction of rail
road property. He did not think railroad
employes were engaged in this work. He
claimed to have been asked by either
Debs or Howard to help them apprehend
rioters. He had often heard the two
heads of the American Railway Union
counsel against strikes. Mr. Guyon did
not believe the larger roads kept a black
list.
Vice President-George W. Howard of
the American Railway Union was re
called in rebuttal, in regard to the meet
ing at Blue Island, at which it was
alleged by witnesses yesterday that he
used abusive language in regard to
George M. Pullman! and counselled
violence. Mr. Howard admitted that he
applied an obscene epithet to Mr. Pull
man, but said the epithet was in common
use among railroad men. He also testi
fied that he said that he thought Pull
man such a mean man that he ought to
be hanged, but he did not mean by this to
counsel violence. He simply wanted to
show his contempt for the man’s methods.
As quoted by himself Mr. Howard’s ex
act language was: “That old ought
to be hung.” He told the crowd on that
occasion to beware of railroad sleuths,
who tried to break up lodges by arraign
ing the Catholics in them against
the Protestants, and he hoped that
if anybody caught any of them
at their work, they would “tap them on
the head with the round end of a roll
iqgpin.” The witness submitted a list
of questions which he wished to have put
to some of the general managers. These
questions related to the hauling of mail
trains with Pullman cars attached. He ’
also, wanted Pullman recalled. It is i
probable that the commission will have
a chance to put his questions. Mr. ;
Howard declared the General Managers’ ;
Association during the strike sought i
only to .crush the American Railway
Union.
Secretary Keliher of the American
Railway Union was called at the begin
ning of the afternoon session. He testi
fied as to sending certain telegrams.
He was fdllowed by Vice President
Howard, who was asked if the telegrams
in the possession of the federal authori
ties were substantially correct. He said
they wpre.
Commissioner Wright will leave for
Washington to-night to attend to impor
tant business of a public character.
POLICE DID THBIR DUTT.
Mayor Hopkins, the next witness, said,
in answer to a question about the con
duct of the city police, that so far as he
knew they had done all that was re
quired of them. He described his visit
to the scene of the mob’s work on the
Rock Island tracks in company with
Corporation Counsel Rubens and officers
Os the road. He observed many
overturned cars and other signs of
disorder. He ordered all the police on
duty at the crossing where cars were
overturned suspended. He read several
communications of officers of various
roads commending the police force for its
work. Marvin Huitt of the Northwest
ern, was quoted as saying he had received
perfect protection from the Chicago
authorities. The mayor thought seven
persons had either been killed outright,
or had died from injuries received during
the strike.
“Were any of your police in sympathy
with the strikers'” asked Judge Worth
ington.
“I could not say as to that. I suppose
some of them were. As far as the Pull
man strikers are concerned I am in sym
pathy with them myself. I don’t think,
however, that any of the city policemen
allowed their sympathies to interfere
with their duty.”
“Have the officers of the American
Railway Union ever given you any infor-
mation leading to the arrest of rioters'?”
“Yes, they have.” The mayor then cited
five cases in which this had been done.
He said Strike Manager Egan kept the
police busy going to points on the various
roads only to find when they got there
that there was no trouble. He then told
about his unsuccessful efforts to bring
about arbitration.
“I want to say,” said the mayor, “in
regard to a statement attributed to Mr.
Eagan—namely, that he told me he was
surprised that I should be a messenger
for the American Railway Union—that he
mosX emphatically did not say anything
of the sort to me. I would not "have al
lowed him to do so. I also wish to say
that I never protested against the order
ing of federal troops here. I was not con
sulted when they were brought here.”
“It has been stated in the press,” said
Judge Worthington, “that you applied to
Debs for permission to move certain
trains. Is that true?”
“It is not.”
FORMAL ADJOURNMENT.
Mayor Hopkins was then excused and
Chairman _ Wright' read the following
formal notice of adjournment: This com
mission has now heard all witnesses who
have been suggested by the various par
ties interested in this controversy, except
a few whose testimonj’ would be simply
accumulative upon points that have
already been amply covered. At
the opening of the hearing it
was stated that the commission would
decide at its close whether it had time at
its disposal to listen to parties orally who
had remedies for labor questions to offer,
or suggestions as to legislation, and mat
ters of that character. So much time
has been taken up in hearing testimony
on the facts relating to the late difficul
ties that the commission cannot
at present take up the setend
ary branch of the * investigation.
The commission will adjourn to meet in
Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 26, at
which time it will be glad to receive in
writing any suggestions as to /.he solu
tion of questions involved in the late con
troversies. It will at that time hear any
parties who may desire to be beard rela
tive to the facts involved, and it may,,
after a careful examination of the testi
mony which has been offered at this hear
ing, conclude to call further witnesses to
supplement any testimony which has
been given on either side. The hearing
stands adjourned until Sept. 26.
WAITE HAS A HEARING.
Testimony as to the Letter That
Caused All the Trouble.
Denver. Col., Aug. 30.—At the prelimi
nary hearing in the case against Gov.
Waite before United States Commissioner
Hinsdale the court room was crowded.
Gov. Waite asked the commissioner for a
copy df the charge, saying that all at
tempts to procure one had been futile.
Mrs. Legarnett, a housekeeper, the first
witness called, testified that she had in
serted the advertisement to which the
troublesome letter was a reply, and that
she used the police matron’s name
as a matter of convenience. Mrs. Likens
testified that she was removed
on July 11, that the letter was received
on July 5 and was used as a ground for
her dismissal; that there was a conspir
acy in the police board to obtain her dis
missal, and that Kate Dalyer and the
other defendants had withheld the letter
from her, although it was plainlj' a pri
vate one. The governor had the witness
admit that the envelope was addressed to
the police matron, and nothing on the
outside would indicate its privacy.

THE WORK OF AN ASSASSIN
Matthew B. Adams Shot While Sitting
in His Home.
No Clew to the Criminal—Supposed to
Be a Case of Mistaken Identity—The
Wounds Not Necessarily Fatal—An
Old Grievance Recalled. ,
Mount Vernon, Ga., Aug. 30.—Last
night at about 8 o'clock, Matthew B.
Adams, a respectable white man living
about four miles south of Glenwood in this
(Montgomery) county, was shot with a
double-barrel shotgun while sitting in his
house surrounded by his family. The gun
with which he was shot was heavily
loaded with buckshot, and alargenumber
of the shot penetrated bis breast and
other parts ot the body. It is probable
that he will die, though at this time he is
resting easy. No clew is known by which
the assassin is likely to be caught and
punished for his cowardly work. It is
thought by a number of people who
are acquainted with the facts,
that his assassination was due to a mis»
take by the assassin.
It is thought that the assassin intended
to take the life of John W. Adams, a
brother of the wounded man, who was
stopping at the house of Matthew B.
Adams at the time the shooting occurred.
During the fall of 1893 John W. Adams
was accused of making a criminal assault
upon the wife of Bartow Clark, during
the absence of Mr. Clark from his home.
As soon as he returned home and learned
from his wife what had occurred, he
openly avowed that he would take Adams’
life at first sight. He carried his gun
with him wherever he went for several
months after the occurrence, in an
ticipation of a meeting with
Adams, but owing to the remon
strance of bis friends and the
evasiveness of Adams a meeting was
prevented. Adams left Georgia and
went to Florida in the spring of ’94, and it
was hoped by the friends of both parties
that the trouble was at an end; but dur
ing the summer Adams returned to this
county where he has been for several
weeks, living with his brother, Mat
thew B. Adams, and it is thought by
many that the shooting of last night was
intended to kill John W. Adams instead
of Matthew B. Adams. All the the parties
in this unfortunate affair are highly con
nected, aud excitement is at fever heat.
MORE RAILROAD LITIGATION.
Lawyers No Doubt Will Get Some
Pretty Pickings From This.
Augusta. Ga., Aug. 30.—Messrs. Leon
ard Phinizy, Joseph R. Lamar and Har
wick & Carter, attorneys, to-day filed a
a bill in Washington county superior
court at Sandersville somewhat on the
line of the famous Rowena Clark suit,
which occupies such a prominent place in
the history of the recent Central railroad
litigation. The bill in equity is brought
in the name of Dr. H. N. Hallifleld of
Sandersville, a prominent minority stock
holder in the Wrightsville and Tennille
railroad. It is brought against the
above named railroad, the Central rail
road and receivers. It alleges that the
Central company is the illegal owner of a
ma.,ority of stock in the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad, and since 1884 has
elected its officers and dominated its
policy, to the injury of the minority
stockholders; that the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad is run in the interest of
the Central and discriminates against
other roads in the latter’s interest. The
bill prays that the Wrightsville and Ten
nille railroad shall be enjoined from
allowing the Central to vote the majority
of stock in the next election, and that a
sale of a majority of the stock shall be
ordered, and the Wrightsville and Ten
nille railroad be in future enjoined from
discriminations in favor of the Central.
ATLANTA SPORTS.
A Fine of 3700 Assessed Against One
of Them in Court.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30.—Another chap
ter in the fight of the city detectives
against the gamblers occurred in Judge
Westmoreland’s branch of the city court
to-day, when William Brown plead guilty
to gaming and keeping a gaming house,
and was fined S2OO in one case and SSOO in
the other. In the course of the proceed
ings Brown, who is well known about
town, filed a deposition swearing off from
cards forever in future. Brown is the
man who was alleged to have paid money
to city detectives for their protection. He
denied this, however, in open court. He is
also said to have been in league with the
detectives when a number of well known
men were arrested in his room a few
weeks ago. It was asserted that Brown
had invited them there and then turned
the detectives loose on them. He also
denied this in his deposition and the
S7OO fine appears to corroborate his denial.
Swearing off from cards appears to be
the proper caper among those convicted
in Judge W’estmoreland’s court. Brown
is the third in the last week. A swear
off insures clemency, the judge says.
FOR RELIEF OF PULLMAN.
The American Railway Union Seek©
to Control the Distribution.
Chicago, Aug. 30.—There is trouble at
Pullman among those who have been as
sisted in the work of distributing supplies
to the needy. It is really a strife be
tween the American Railway Union and
the workmen who did not join that or
ganization. The trouble arose over the
appointment of Theodore Ropde as
chairman of the relief commit
tee. McGuire, secretary of the com
mittee, claims that Ropde was
not regularly appointed, that his author
ity to serve came from J. W. Heathcote
and R. W. Brown, the leaders of the
strike, when it should have come from
the central committee, who had charge
of relief matters. It is further said that
the members of the American Railway
Union seek to gain control of the distribu
tion of relief in order that none but union
men may receive the benefits cf it.
