RICHMOND, Va., October 13.—The dele gates to the assembly of the Knights of Labor were early afoot this morning and unusually prompt in their attendance at the Armory Hall, where the sessions are held. The most important work of the convention was began yesterday when General Master Workman Powderly de clared amendments to the constitution in order, and was sustained in his decision by the assembly despite the objections of a few. This work of amending the consti tution was resumed this morning and prosecuted throughout the session. The proposed amendment to the consti tutionextending to two years the terms of all general officers excepting those of the members of the co-operative board was taken up and adopted. The terms of the members of the co-operative board remain as at present. Changes in the constitu tion require a two-thirds vote for their adoption and calling the roll of 612 dele gates consumed a good deal of time. When the matter had been disposed of the regular order of business was sus pended, and the general assembly pro ceeded to THE ELECTION OF GENERAL OFFICERS. General Master Workman Powderly and General Worthy Foreman Griffith were 1 elected to the offices they ha e already j held for seven consecutive terms. Tin's afternoon the assembly will continue the election of officers. At the afternoon session it was decided ! to divide the office of general secretary and treasurer. Clues. H. Litchmnn, of Marble head, Mass., was placed in nomination for the office ot secretary by James Campbell, of Pittsburg, Pa. The nomination was sec onded by Tom O’Reilly, of New York. The only candidate nominated in opposition was Joseph Buchanan, of Denver. Lifohman was elected by more than 130 majority. Frederick Turner, j the present general secretary andtreas- j urer, was nominated for general treasurer by R. F. Trevillick, of Detroit, and was j seconded by James E. Quinn, of New ! York. The only candidate nominated in opposition was H. Breckmever, of New | Jersey. Turner was elected by more than 200 majority. Balloting for members of the executive board then began. The following names were placed in nomination: W. H. Bailey of Ohio, T. B. McGuire of York, Tom O’Rielly of New York, Joseph Buchanan of Colorado, Wm. H. Mullen of Richmond, Va., Ira B morning.

An Active Day In Stacks, New York, October 13.—The temper of the stock speculation underwent a sudden about a personal misunderstanding as to i change to-day. and there was a rush to buy for both sides of account. The first treat cause of this was a change of front Aylsworth of Baltimore, John Howe of Massachusetts. An informal ballot was taken, in which Hayes led in the number of votes polled, with Barry second. Some delegates wanted to continue voting, but a motion to adjourn until to-morrow morn ing was put and carried. The nomination of T. V. Powderly for f eneral master workman was made by E. '. Gould, of Indiana, and seconded by Torn O’Reilly, of New York, both of whom are telegraphers. POWDEItLV’S PRESTIGE. When the nomination and election of a g eneral master were declared in order to- ay, Mr. Powderly vacated the chair, the general worthy foreman taking his pfcce. Slore than 100 delegates shouted,‘‘Have election made by acclamation.” AVhen Mr. Griffith put tlie question, there was a storm of ayes. When the noes were called for there was one solitary “no.” it came from Henry Beckmeyev, who heads the delegation from district assembly 51, of Nevv Jersey. This delegation wears a yel low badge "with the motto, “Solid for Har mony.” There was no candidate placed in nomination in opposition to Mr. Pow derly, and he received the votes of the 647 delegates present. When Mr. Griffith was nominated for re-election as general worthy foreman the only candidate nominated in opposition W’as R. Bennett, of Illinois. Bennett re ceived only fifty votes and Griffith’s elec tion was made unanimous. There will be no election for general insurance secretary, the office now held by Homer L. McGaw, as the office has been abolished by the adoption of an amendment to the consti tution. The K. of I.. Committee in Chicago. Chicago, October 13.—One of the com mittee sent by the Knights of Labor to ad just the labor troubles in the stock yards said to a reporter this morning that lie had hopes of making a settlement to-day and that the committee that lias attended the great strike has made thousands of friends for the knights, to whose efforts admirable order is due. The importation of laborers by Armour & Co. is making some of the strikers restive, and the task of controlling the younger element is be- i coming more difficult. Everything this morning was as it was yesterday. Armour’s j beef butchers still remained at work by J order of the knights, although they are j restive under the fact that ears are being j loaded by clerks and outsiders. Pinker- f ton’s men have completed their culinary ] apparatus and will now live entirely in j the Washington packing house. '1 hey ! cannot buy anything outside except %t a transient Jaouse. There is a rigid boycot against them. A delegate’s actions and opinions. Delegate Barry was seen by a reporter at noon to-day, and said the men have their own minds set on the eight hour rule, am. will agree to nothing else. “We made a proposition this morning,” said lie, “to the packers that they adopt the eight hour rule and the men would agree to work all over time necessary. This will be practi cally a recognition of the eight hour tion and will be accepted by the men. rhe packers submitted to the proposition that the men work and be paid by the hour but this will not be accepted, as the men are afraid the system will work to their disadvantage, and if the packers desire to do so they can give them only an hour or two of work a day. I have proposed to meet the packers at the board of trade this afternoon, and should they accept the proposition the matter will be settled im mediately. Should they not meet me 1 will take other means to effect a settle ment. For this thing must be fixed quickly, as it is all nonsense for Armour to suppose that his beef butchers will work under the circumstances by which they are now surrounded. If I find that things are as I sometimes suspect they are, and PROBATION AFTER DEATH. Charges Against the Andover Professors brow ing Out of Tliclr " II) iiolliesls." Chicago, October 11.—The report pub lished that charges of heresy had been filed against five professors of Andov.er Theological Seminary by the board of vis itors of that institution is incorrect. At the Grand Pacific this morning several gentlemen from Massachusetts, liigli in the councils of the church, one of them a trustee of Andover, characterized the dispatch as wholly . incorrect. No charge of heresy has been made against the professors. The real facts were learned to be these: At tlie founding of tlie seminary the donors of tlie funds drew up a clear and sharp creed. Every professor femployed is re quired to pledge adherence to this creed on entering on his duties, and to renew this pledge every five years. Tlie real complaint now before the board of visitors accuses the five professors, who are editors of the Andover Review, of breach of trust, in that they are drawing salaries under this pledge while their teachings do not conform to it. Tlie professors are Egbert C. Smyth, W. J. Tucker, George Harris, Edward Y. Hindis and John Gulliver. Three months ago a trustee and several graduates of Andover charged the five professors named witli breach of trust in drawing salaries from tlie funds and not conforming to their pledges. The board of visitors decided that the charges ought to lie considered and summoned the pro fessors to appear oil October 25, to answer and have a preliminary hearing. The pro fessors deny the power of the visitors to hear the complaint and there the matter rests at present. The doctrinal point in the controversy is whether man’s proba tion continues after death. The “Andover hypothesis” is that it does; that death does not cut off his last hope of salvation. The conservatives, the complainants in tills case, charge that the “second pro bation” men are trying to introduce, and are now teaching, an entire new system of theology. They say the Andover creed has been violated by them in some ten or twelve particulars. They allege that the teachings of these professors tear all to pieces the received Congregational doc trines of fire, eternal punishment, the atonement and the inspiration of tlie Scriptures. At the Congregational ministers’ meet ing the subject was discussed. Nearly all pr 'sent took sides against Prof. Smyth and his colleagues, believing him to have been badly beaten at the Des Moines con vention. Murieltu anil North broridn Uailrouil.

A Bride Murdered in licit III uti (’iiknotm Mini. St. Lours, October 13. —A special from Houston, Mo., says: “The most mysterious and diabolical crime ever perpetrated in southern Missouri was committed near a creek six miles east of this city last Friday morning. On that morning about 3 o’clock Mrs. Ella Williams, the bride of Ralfe Williams, was lying asleep by tlie side of ' her husband, when some unknown person 1 entered the bedroom, placed a pistol j against her forehead and sent a bullet through her brain. The report of the re volver awakened Williams, but lie had been ill for some time and wus I unable to pursue tlie murderer. Two men sleeping iii an adjoining room I wore also awakened and immediately wont by tlie members of the pool. Each road is to lie assessed a prorata for money to carry on tlie association according to the mile age of eaeli road. A rate committee is provided for an is made up of general passenger agents.

The passenger agents will hold a special meeting and settle upon the ques tion of rates to be charged Horn all points on the roads. Another question of great importance which is to be discussed is the rates to be charged from the large cities iu eastern New York, Boston mid Phila delphia to winter resorts in Florida. traffic over the roads to points in FLORIDA lias more than doubled during the last two years. Some of tlie agents are in favor of continuing the sale of round trip tickets, while others uro disposed to favor cheap t hrough rates. The object of this is to try and stop the sale of tickets to these points by scalpers. IS A VOLCANO FORMING ? Ki'liorts or Increasing Kurthipiaki' Dlslurlmnee* ill Ninety-Six—llegnn Lust Your. Charleston, S. C., October 11.—A local scientist known to bo an accurate observer was recently selected to investigate the story .that earthquake shocks Imd been folt at Ninety-Six,B. C., about thirty miles from the Georgia line and a hundred from Charleston, eighteen months past and were increasing in frequency and vigor, a story which the World had a couple of weeks ago. His report confirms it. One Influential farmer, J. McD. Kinard, living nt tlie seat of the trouble, says he heard tho underground noise in January, 1885. It was then brief and dull, like the report of a cannon fired several miles from tho observer. All others who were interviewed gave the same account of tho noises, hut did not no tice them until September of last year. Mr. Kinard heard the noises frequently the first day, lint did not hear them again for several weeks. The longest period of rest between tlie sounds, all agree, was just be fore the Charleston earthquake. Thesound of that movement was not similar—it was like the roaring of a train of cars and last ed longer than the others. The others were (lull booms, without repetitions. They all caused houses to shake and washes to rattle. A party of railroad graders camped near Mr. Kinard several months ago were badly frightened by the noises. For tlie two weeks before last week the noises were heard n iglit and day, and few persons had a single night of sound rest. Ten reports were heard Sunday night of last week, two of them so heavy that Dr. T. 8.
