Powderly has at last decided to give up the office of grand master workman of the Knights of Labor.

It is understood that Mr. Powderly will become a lawyer. He has been studying law for some time and probably will begin its practice in Scranton, where he has his home. Even were there no other reasons for his retirement from the office of grand master workman, the fact that he is to become a lawyer would be sufficient, lor lawyers and bankers are not eligible to membership.

McGuire was formerly a truck driver in this city-, and is at present a member of the gen eral executive board of the knights. It was under the administration of Mr. Powderly that the Knights of La bor attained prominence and became a power among organized labor in the land. The order was growing when he was first elected grand master work man, but it was not much known. It was under him that it grew so rapidly. He managed its affairs witn rare skill, and displayed considerable diplomacy. McGuire has been known in the order as a dissenter, and is likely to encounter opposition when the convention meets to elect a successor to Mr. Powderly. TRAMPS ON THE MOVE ay that Mr. H.

Topeka, July 27.—Mayor Gluck, of Dodge City, has issued a proclamation calling on the people to make provision for caring for the army of tramps who are infesting the country. He states that Dodge City and surrounding towns are alive with tramps moving eastward from Colorado, where they were thrown ont of employment by the closing of the silver mines and smelters. The major ity' of them, he declares, are worthy of assistance. He appeals to citizens to raise a fund to provide for their tempo rary wants, that they may not be pushed to the extremity' of stealing. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., July 27.—There seems to be an extraordinary movement of tramps southward along the lines of the West Shore and New York Central and Hudson River railroads. On tbe Central Sunday* night Chief Humphrey’ and his men bagged 17 who were riding on freight trains.

Mr. Hinklev will soon open a first- class resaurant for the benefit of the Waycross colony.' He will send an ad to the Herald. Something To Remember, if you’re a weak or ailing woman:—that there’s only* one medicine so sure to help you that it can be guaranteed. It’s I)r. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. In build ing up overworked, feeble, delicate wo men, or in any “female complaint’’ or weakness, if it ever fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. It’s an invigorating, restorative tonic, a soothing and strengthing nervine, and a safe and certain remedy for women’s ills and ailments. It regulates and promotes all the proper functions, improves di gestion, enriches the blood, dispels aches and pains, brings refreshing sleep, and restores health and strength. Nothing else can be as cheap. With this, you pay only for the good you get. W. B. Hester. Commissioners then adjonrned. Warren Lott, Ch’n5 B. H.

One Man ami Three Horses Were Blown to Fragments. 1 Pittsburo. July 28.—M. S. VanBu- ren and two brothers went to their magazine near Samples’ Station, on the Pittsburg and Western railway, to get a load of nitro-glycerine for the pur pose of shooting an oil well. The dangerous fluid was being trans ferred to a wagon to which three horses were attached. A considerable quanti ty had been placed on the wagon, when in some manner which will probably never be explained, the glycerine ex ploded. The terrific concussion shook the sur rounding buildings violently. People near the scene . were thrown about in Avery direction. The only portion of M. S. Van Buren’s body yet found is a part of a leg. Small fragments of flesh are scattered all about. The three horses were also blown to fragments, while only a few small pieces of the wagon remain. A hole was blown into the ground large enough for a cellar. Several peo- f ile were injured by concussion and fly- ng debris, but they all will recover. Van Buren was 22 years old and un married. The escape of his brothers who were near by was miraculous. WHAT BRUNSWICK SAYS- That Caie of Yellow FeVer Was Many Miles Away. Brunswick, Ga.. July 28.—The effort of parties in Savannah to locate tiie case of yellow fever which was-on tiie bark Berwin at Brunswick over a month ago calculated to injure this port. » The Berwin was 64 miles from Bruns wick when Health Officer Dun woody pronounced the case fever.

The bark never went up nearer-Bruns- wick than the quarantine station, 3 miles out. and this was seven days be fore the fever developed. Vessels com ing from Havanna—a port which is never free of yellow fever—have always been handled with great precaution at Brunswick, and not the slightest fear has ever been felt by citizens or by vis itors to the popular island resorts near that city. The reports sent out from Savannah are regarded as huge jokes by those ac quainted with the healthfulness of Brunswick. Reports show that she is It Shonlrt Be 1m Every* Hoiu J J. B.
