8pcdol trains, with peculiar appliances for
accomplishing this result, have on eastern
roads snccessAilly made experiments of the
kind. This was the first case, however. In
which a regular passenger train not specially
equipped for the purposo was
Jn constant telegraphic communication
with all tbe stations on the

metslie roof of the car was charged with tho
electric current, nnd a wire run from the car
roof to a table in the car on which the usual
instrument rested.
George C. McGregor, manager of the Rail
way Telegraph andfTclrphone company, super*
vised the work, which was performed by
Messrs. Dingle and Rudd, electricians of the
company. Communication was kept with all

bed been closing out his stock of goods at low
tosh prices, until nearly all had been sold.
His wife went to the stole to see why he had
not come home. Tbe store was locked. 11 was
then learned that Fisher and the girl had

BARE COLLECTIONS.
New York, March 0.—Mrs. Mary Jane Mor
fan's collection of rare and curious works of
art was put up at auction and a few articles
were sola for $00,370. The gem of tbe entire
collection was tho famous peachblow, or
tie embed strawberry Chinese porce
lain vase, for which Mrs. Morgan gave $15,*
WO. Jt is a vase of graceful ovoid shape,
with slender neck slightly spreading at the
top, and perfect in color, form ana texture,
1 ts height is eight inches and its diameter three,
It ia of the Kang-Ue period, 1001-1722. It was
apattef the privttte collection of I Wang Ye,a
mandarin prince. If* reputation is world wide,
and it is said to be the finest peachblow vaso
In tbe world.
It was started at $.",000and went to 4-10,000
in bids of $1,000. At $18,000 tho auctioneer's
mallet hovered in the air for an instant and
fell with a sharp rap. Then applause broke
out. The vase was bought for the private
collection of W. T. Walte rs, of Baltimore. It
is estimated that If (18,000 in gold should lie
piled in one of tbe scales of a balance 150 sim
ilar vases would be needed in the
other scale. Mr. Walters bought a majority
of the ten peachblow vases. A peachblow
vase of the mi mo shape and size as tho $18,000

The car bore evidcnco of a terrible struggle.
The messenger, whose name was Nichols, was
found dead when bis car wasopeued at Morris.
His throat was cut in a manner that
suggested a hatchet or a dull knife,
and his skull was crashed with a stovo poker.
This poker was found in the oar, and did not
belong there. Jn Nichols's clenched right
hand was found a lock of black hair, and in
the other hand a lock of red hair. Ho far there
is no duo to tho murderers, but tho country
Is already ulive with searchers, both profess
ional and volunteers, mid there is every rea
son to believe that tho murderers will bo
lynebrd if discovered.
The United States Express Company states
this evening that the loss by this morning's
robbery will be insido of $23,000. There was
a little over $20,000 in money and the balance
efethe stolen matter consists of packages of
jewelry and other tilings, which woro not
valued abova$2,W)0. It la impossible lust now
to fix tho loss exactly. The express company

way to catch tbe robbers, and $10,000 reward
la offered Jointly by the two companies.

Chicago, March 8,—The action of the

masses, as a political organization, and we will
cast our ballota for no one who will not pledge

Tho executive committee of the state assem
bly of tho Knights of Labor, 8atunlay adopted
a memorial to the senate and house of repre
sentatives, at Washington, asking that liberal
appropriations of the surplus revenues begmsdo
for the construction or pnblie works. The
Hennepin canal project is indorsed ss an under
taking of national importance.
The Knights of Labor delegate told the tin
ners and cornice makers yesterday that the
Knights of Labor numbered 20,000 to 30,000 in
Chicago, snd 850,000 in tho United States

Philadelphia, March 8.—Grand Master
Workman Powdcrlj, head of tbe Knights of
Labor organizations,who is in this city attend
ing a meeting of tho general executive board,
said tonight to a reporter of the Associated
Press that ho had received no summons to set
tle the difficulties between the strikers and the
Gould system of roads in the west. Mr. Pow-
derly said that then-“is no significance in
the fact thaf so many strikes
now In progress in tho United States b_
assemblies of Knights of Labor, “ft is a coin
cidence merely,” said ho, "and thoro in no con
certed action contemplated by tho ordor, as has
been suggested, the strikes being incidental
and I think ehiefly owing to tho fact that this
isjnsttlio beginning of the spring trade, nnd
the opening of n period of prosperity in bust-
ss.”
“Yes, arbitration always, when It Is possible;
a strike only as a last resort, but when that
point is reached strike hard, snd nover surren
der, except to just concessions. Why, this
!*oard ( ” pointing to tho members, "has since
the first day of January last settled
by arbitration 350 cases, which would other
wise Imvo resulted in strikes without tho gain
ing of a single point by the strikers.
’Js there not dangerthnt your organization
become engaged in i
thus lose Its power?”
I have no fear of that. Tho matters involv
ed in existence, and tho work of tho Knights
of Labor aro nearer to its member than mat
ters of partisan )>olitics. Wo have horo, ns'you
see on this committee, members of the two old
parties, grecnbackcrs and (with a smile) other
cranks like myself. Wo aro not politicians
here. Wefhavo'a method of dealing with
thoso who, as some have enter, our ranks to
servo political ends. Wc turn them out Wo
do not propose to have any part in
politics. When pcoplag talk, as some*
times thoy do, about using tho Knights of La
bor as a political engine, thev utter most ar
rant nonsense. It is not worth while to disenas
the matter with such a man. He is either a
liar or an empty-headed fool.”
Philadelphia, Pa., March 0.—Master
Workman Powderly, upon being shown r
Statement published this morning that tlriP
Knights of Labor of Illinois bad formod a po
litical party, under tho auspices of the order,

thing is attempted by any district or local

A Peculiar Defense Introduced in a Case on
Trial In tbe Criminal Coart.
From the Denver News.
A rather carious and novel defense wu pre
sented in the cue of W. B. Hawley, who wu on
trial on the charge of talse pretenses In the criml-
nel court yesterday. Tho defense claimed that
Hawley wu not rcsponrible when ho passed the
fraudulent checks In question, u bo wu drank,
or affected by Intoxicating liquors, and wu In tha
habit when in that condition of doing very strange
things. Hawley, who iso nun of about medium
height, With dark eyes and curly black hair, and
with a very red Ace, wu Indicted by tbe last grand
one case. There wu a vet
Jury selected to

A. L. Dond and Earl B. Coe representing tbe de-
f< The evidence for the prosecution went to chow
that last New Year’s day Hawley gave to Lonts
fgaosMBt
the same lime Hawley gave to Mrs. Isabella 3Jc-
Klmmlea check for fz7, sod the gave him change
to the amount of 123»cash. These checkxi purport
ed to be drawn on the Colorado National bank.bat
it wax dlicovered that Hawley had no money there
and bad not had any. The defense opened yes
terday afternoon. and was able to outline the
theory pretty clearly before the jury, though strong
arguments were made at every step by the prose*
ration against ,he admission of such.testimony,
and against tbe manner in which the defense
sought to get at it. The theory of the defense was
shown to be that Haw ley hod becu In the habit of
indulging In drunken sprees, and that on such
occasions he doesn’t know what he is doing. They
claim that on one of these occasions Hawley hired
s bark and took a party of friends np to Capitol
hill. He told them that he hod struck it rich, and
had bought a house on the hill. The hack was
stoppcdTn front of C. B. Kountxe’s residence, and
Hawley’s friends met Mr. Kountse coming out.
Hawley said that Kountxe was living there, but
was soon going to move out. Hawley's friends
soon discovered that they were having a game
B ayed on them. At another time Hawley is said
have opened a package of money in the street
end to have commenced giving it away to the
crowd. These eccentricities tho defense claim
occur when Hawley Is drunk or when he Is Just
getting over a drunk, and constitute a peculiar
Form of emotional insanity.

There wax ono woman in a New York
