The leading men in the order of Knights
of Labor, at Philadelphia, Pa., have un
der consideration the advisability ol
bringing suit by the commonwealth,
through the attorney-general, against and the
Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Coal and Iron Company, to compel them
to do certain things, which they are
obliged to do under their charter, and
various privileges granted by the state.
One charge is that the companies, by re¬
fusing to settle with the men are “corner¬
ing” coal and other necessaries for the
purpose of enhancing their values and ex¬
torting exorbitant prices from the com¬
munity. Another charge relates to the
responsibility of companies as common
carriers, it being alleged that on account
of the companie’s action, men are employ¬
ed who do not give the best of service,
and whose efforts result in delay and loss
to the community.

THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE
QTNertli Carolina Puts Forth n Decln.**lk»'»
of Their Principles.
The North Catalina Farmers’ Alliance
has been in session at Greensboro, N. (.
There were over 2,10 delegates pres¬
ent; a great majority of whom were old
men. Many matters of interest to farm¬
ers were debated. For ten years the im¬
migration bureau lias been run by the
state at the exclusive expense of the
farmer. This discrimination, was protested and against resolu¬ a»
an unjust a
tion was adopted calling on the legisla¬
ture either to support the bureau from
the general fund or to abolish it alto
gather. It was also asserted that the,
present law relating to homesteads and
personal property exemptions preg¬
nant with evil in its practical operation* the
and tendencies,has brought about op¬
pression ; the usurious and ruinous sys¬
tem of liens and mortgages destroys
credit, places men of moderate mean:, in
a condition but little removed from sla¬
very; promotes dishonesty, cripples
energy and retards progress. It was,
therefore, “Resolved, '['hut we favor such
modification of said law as shall ultimate¬
ly do away with the lien and mortgage
system and restore to the debtor class the
only equitable and just basis of credit,
honesty, integrity and industry.” Other
resolutions and reports of less declara¬ impor¬
tance were submitted. In their
tion of principles, the convention declared
that they would seek legislative relief not
through separate parties, but through the
two political parties now existing. All
the present officers were re-elected to
serve a second term. The convention
was addressed by President J. F. Crow¬
ell, of Trinity College,and JoscphMoore,
of New Garden.
HE WII.I. NOW KING.
Tl>c Supreme Court of Nortli Carolina
has rendered a decision in a case which,
perhaps, hits Robinson no parallel iu legal indicted annals.
A man in county was
for disturbing religious worship—a stated- grave
misdemeanor in that state. It was
ihat he was a member of a Methodist
church, and that he sang in such a way
as to disturb the entire congregation, his
voice being heard after the voices of all
the other singers had ceased. The case
went before the Superior Court, and the
trial was very interesting. It was that
the congregation had been so greatly dis¬
turbed by it that the preacher had posi
ively declined to 1‘give out” any hymns,
and ihat the presiding elder of the district
had refused to conduct services in the
church at all. 'I he case going against
‘the sweet singer in Israel,” he took an
appeal to the Supr. me Court, which ren¬
dered the opinion that a “conscientious”
-inger causing a disturbance, though be
disturbs others, such disturbance is not
an indictable offense.

A serious accident occurred on the At¬
lantic <fc Pacific road, about three miles
from Coolidge, N. M., in which eight
persons were slightly injured and three
fatally. A first-Hass coach attached to a
regular passenger train, jumped the track
and turned over, making a complete
wreck of the car. Miss Florence Wilson,
from Woodstock. Ills., had her skull
fractured and received internal injuries
from which she will probably die.
