JEERS FOR BRITAIN’S JACK Toronto Division Harshly Criticized for Bearing the Flag of England. Indianapolis Chosen for the Next 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 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.

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 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 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. DUEL TO THE DEATH.

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1894. 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. CATTLEMEN COMPLAIN. Alleged Injury of«w Tariff Law to Texas Kings. ‘ r - 1 ' San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 80.— It is claimed by the cattlemen of Southwest Texas that the new tariff bill will result in serious injury to the cattle, interests of this section. The duty is reduced from $lO per head to 20 percent, ad valorem, and now that the grass is good on this side, it is said that at least 100,000 cattle will be brought into Texas from Mexico within the next sixty days, and, after being fattened, marketed in this country, thus forcing down prices.

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. Mrs. Martha Jane Pringle, of Chase, Jackeon Co., W. Va., write©: “ Having been a great sufferer for many years with nearly every disease my sex te heir to, I can now say I am well and \ hearty.
