geron* ansrehlrts In the poroon of Chorloo
Werner Zadick, who was killed by accidental
explosion of nitroglycerine, In the new aqua*
duct, Zadick waa better known, when bo
was known, by the nickname of .“Powder
Charlie,” which waa bestowed upon him by the
annotates of the Imprisoned John Host. He
was one of those ran men to whom fear Is abso
lutely unknown, and his numerous criminal
acta were at onto the terror of hla friends and
the embarrassment of the police. Time a**r
time the detectives hare shadowed him and
put the littlo band of Meet's followers into
conniption 11 ta of frights lest everything should
be exposed, and all of them arrested. Through
all the excitement Zadick kept on hla way
with the utmost tranquility, making, conceal
!ng, and transmitting dynamite and gun cotton
illegally. He fame to America about six
yean ago and waa received with open arms by
the revolutionary brotherhood for the special
reason that he had studied chemistry to such
good purpose that he waa known as an export
In the manulkcture of explosives.
When the self-styed anarchists were excited
by Most and Hassslman to emulate the Eu
ropean brethren In Instituting “propaganda by
deed," their euphemism for robbery, arson and
murder, Zadick became their instructor In pro
viding the weapons of their revolution. He
taught his associates how to make gun cotton
In a small room of a crowded tenement house
in Allan street. By their Industry they accu
mulated vast quantities of the explosive, and
where the timid ones feared lest an accident
should blow the whole neighborhood to pieces,
Zadick, in profound disgust, helped them pitch
the stuff in small handfuls Into the river. He
made the explosive used by Hendrix in muti
lating the Andre monument _ and
concocted tho infernal machines

dynamite was taken up there, tho expenses for

many episodes and one or two futile attempts
to wrest vengeance upon “capitalmus,” but Za
dick waa not prominent in them. When the
scheme failed, for lack of (hods, he was forced
to look for work. He had no difficulty In find-

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Waotincton, D.C., December 30—[Special.]
—Mrt. Emmons, the wife of Frofcstor Emmons,
of tbe geologies) survey, who has just created
such a sensation In London by baring a. brass
bond to serenade her at her hotel at two o'clock
in the morning, baa returned to Washington,
to become the heroine of n scene in this city,
i Mrs. Emmons, who had been in an insane
asylum before going to Europe, was among tbe
passengers on tbe ateemsblp Lydian Monarch,
which arrived in New York la it Tuesday. Pro
fessor Emmons, accompanied by Dr. Allan Mc
Lean Hamilton, an exmrt In insanity eases,
boarded the steamer shoot noon, and succeeded
in obtaining an Interview with bis wife, who
lea lady somewhat over thirty years of age, and
of quiet manners. When it was suggsstod that
she go sahore with tbe other passengers, how
ever, she became very much excited and posi
tively refused to stir, raying that they wanted
to lock her up again. So her husband left
without her. Subsequently she exorcsseda
desire to leave the ahip, and was provided with
an escort by the captain. Being landed upon
tbe pier at Jenoy City, she took s Twenty
third stroot ferry boat, and waa driven up
town. The pemongers on th6 ship disagreed
in regard to their opinions of Mrs. Emmons
Some of them informed n Hun reporter that
she displayed in their pretence only the most
ladylike characteristics, and was exceedingly
kind and tenderly rareral of them during a at
of seasickness, with which they all suffered.
On tbe other band, Mat, Helen De Still*, an
actress, said that Mrs. Emmons smoked cigar-
rettes incessantly, and attracted consideraMe
attention by other peculiarities. Mr. C'roes, of
London, said that Mrs. Emmons was monarch
of the ship, ordering her vassals, tbo rest of the
paasengem and officers, about in regal style.
Mrs Emmons left New York on the midnight
train Wednesday, and came to Washington,
last night Profeasor Emmons, having tracod
her to this city, succeeded in Ending hor at
Wormicy’s hotel, and informed her that he In
tended taking her
BACK TO THE ASYLUM,
at ProTldence, B. I. She refused to go, and
asked upon what authority he proposed to take
her away. He replied:
"By the authority of a husband.”
She reftued to acknowledge any such author
ity, and started to peas into her bedroom. Her
husband placed himself between her and the
door, and said that If she would not go
peaceably he would lake her by force. Then
Mrs. Emmons broke from him end ran to tho
bell to call assistance, but her husband war too
quick for her, and pushed her into a chair.
The noise brought Mia Emmons's maid in from
tbe bedroom, and divining the situation, she
rang tbe bell for a servant, and sent him for
Henry Wise Harnett, Mrs. Emmons's lawyer,
and for Mr. Wonnley, under whose protection
Mrs. Emmons demanded safety and tbe evic
tion of her husband. By this time a large pro
portion of the gueeta were aroused, and in the
midst of tho confusion Mr. Garnett
and Dr. Lincoln, who had aiao
I wen summoned, arrived. Mr. Garnett
asked npon what authority Professor Em
mons Intended to removo bis wife, but was re
fused any satisfaction. The latter Insisted
upon taking his wife away. Mr. Garnett thou
sent a cab for Chief of Police Moore, who, on
arriving, informed the profemor that he could

Moore stepped forward and told him he
of her apartments.
Mqjor
would take him out by force if he wontd not
go peaceably. The professor then retired,
•• however, to bare better success to-
aiiB hives urn kxpkrikhce.
In explanation of her recent London esem-
padc, Mrs. Emmons said today to a Critic re
porter:
“Now, In London, one day. I met a little
German hand. I waa then stopping’at ajmlet
little hotel near Hyde park. I thought It
would be a good Idea to have them aerenedo at
midnight. I engaged them on tha spot. The
midnight hour came, and with it tha little
German hand. You should have heard them
blow. I really believe these little fat fellows—
there wasn't a big one amongst them—wore
about two-thirds blow. Well, the other gucste
objected. That was to be expected, but it only
made me the more determined to hare my ten.
I slopped out on tbo hslrony, and
told tho laaderthat I would glvn him ten dol
lars an hour, and fifty dollars if ho would keep
the thing np until daylight. Tho landlord
sunt for tho pallors anil I lighted a cigarette,
ttnflVil my cars with cotton mid ant out on tho
balcony to enjoy tbe music. Il.it the police
stopped tbe racket, arretted my little Germans,
and I bad to ball them out next day.” *
She ia still at Wormley'e hotel, vowing that
aim la sane and bar husband Is craay, sud that
she will die before the will go with him or lie
taken to an asylum. Prelbasor Emmons Is n
distinguished geologist, one of the most effi
cient In the geological survey. Ilia friends
deeply regret the unpleasant notoriety Into
which hla remarkable wife has dragged him.

“This evolution I bear so much about of late,
and Dr. Woodrow, and tbe college at Colum
bia,” said old m»n Plunket, railing hia specta
cle# and looking around at tbe crowd,“reminds
me of a fellow that I baint thought of afore for
twenty year.”
“Who was he?” asked some of the crowd,
Old man Plonket cleared np hia throat and
moved his chair around so as to face the crowd,
and remarked: “I'd like to tell yon about him,
fer he waa cur’us for them days and for these
parts.”
“Well, what’s Woodrow and evolution got to
do with It?" asked a young Presbyterian In the
crowd.
“Oh, nothin’,” said Plonket, “’ceptlng hit
brnng him to mind.”
“Well, go on, Uncle Bob,” said [a chorus of
voices.
“Well,” began old man Plonket, “hit was
along in the fifties, when I overseed for old

body said he was an uncommonly larnt
Bo the Presbyterians over in Coweta
county sent him a Invite to visit their settle
ment, and he decided to go. Nothin’ would
do old man Lee but that I must go with him
and bring the mule hack that he was to ride.”
What was tbe preacher’s name, Uncle Bob?”
asked somo one.
“Phelps; Dr. Phelps, the Presbyterians called
him. Well, I saddled two of the mules, ono for
him and one for me, and we were to go over in
the Line creek and Flint river fork, and stay
all night so as to have an easy ride the nrxt
day. When the doctor came ont to get on the
mule, I larnt at once that he’d never had any
thing to do with mulos, and he told mo thon
that he hnd never been on a horse’s back in
his life. I didn’t say anything, but thinks I to
myself, ’Ole Kit ’ll get some of
that starch ont’n yon ’fore this
trip is tended, or my name’s not Plunket.’
Kit was one of these here mules what could
whirl and kick a chaw tobacco out'n your
month ’fore a cat could wink her eves. I seed
she wasn’t agoing to have no foolishness, so I
grabbed her by tho bits and jerkedher a time or
two and cuastd a few lines,low—so low the doc
tor couldn't hear mo. Kit stood till the doctor
got.up on the block and went to throw bis right
leg over and monnt the saddle, when she giyo
a snort and a jump, and the doctor hit the

about what the Presbyterian settlement
called the doctor's dignity, and that he war
never known to relax, but I'll be hornswung
if be didn't git up from around Kit's hoels
without any bowing and scraping. Well, to
cut tbo story short, I hitched to a wagon
and we went that way. Wo crossed
over Flint river about two hours
by sun, and as tho doctor
was kinder complaining, we stopped at the first
house in tho “fork.” which at that time was

‘The doctor squirmed, but before you could

with a rush, and In stepped old Parson Smith,
the Methodist circuit rider. He was a different
man from the doctor. He knowed better how

had his boot off, trimmed the nail on hia right

children on one knee, and the balance hanging
around him. and remarked:
“ 'buffer little children to come unto Me.’
“Parson Smith was long and lank, wearkig a

SENSATION AMONG THE KNIGHTS,
The Great Labor Organisation Threatened
With Splits.
New Yobk, December 31.—There was great
excitement among the socialists of the city
over the letter from General Master Workman
Powderly denouncing them. 8. E.Schewitsch,
editor of the Leader and Volks Zeitung,the two
socialistic papas, said, in speaking of the
“I cannot conceive how a man like Powderly,
who has been a member of the socialistic party
himself, and who must have a card of member
ship about him somewhere, and who must un
derstand the principles of the socialistic party,
could write such a letter as that. The social
intlc party never advocated force as an
offensive measure or as a means of propa
ganda. It docs Iteliovo the social change which
the modern labor movement is destined to
bring about will probably not be accomplished
but because the ruling classes will use all their
power to suppress tho labor movement when
ever it becomes formidably dangerous to their
own movement. Tho ruling claues will then
resort to force to put down the labor movement
and n physical straggle will come.
“Powderly in this letter says: ‘I have no
respect for the man or men who will flaunt
that accursed red flag, and advocate tho use of
the dirk and bullet for threo hundred and
sixty-four days in the year, and who, on the
three hundred and sixty-fifth day, will delib
erately walk up to tho polls an 1 vote for the
continuance of tho system which they de
nounce.’
“Mr. Powderly knows that the socialists ar
the people who took the initiative as an inde
pendent class in the labor movement, and they
are the only people who have consistently re
fused tt veto for old political parties. Mr.
Powderly knows that some of the most active
members of the Knights of Labor, as well as a
number of his warmest supporters, are social
ists.
•Active organizers among the trades union
ists and nil other forms of the labor movement
socialists. 1 do not know a man who is
prominent in the lubor movement who is not a
socialist in principle, although he may not bo a
member of the party. I have noticed one
thing in Mr. Powderly‘a letter writing, that no
matter how much the capitalists resort to force
and shoot down w orking people, aa the shoot
ing down of men, women and "Mldren in Mil
waukee by tho militia, and in 8t. touts by the
Pinkerton detective*, ho never denounces
that; but just let labor use force, and outcomes
a screed.
“1 remember ono of Isis speeches at a picnic
some years ngo, when he said, speaking of the
miners’ troubles, ’If this thing keeps up it will
l*o necessary for tho workingmon to get Gat
ling guns to defend themselves.’ Very consist
ent, isn’t it?”
An ohl Knight of tobor said that ho indorsed
renr word of Mr. Powderly'• letter. It was
absolutely necessary, ho said, for tho general
master wonnnnto put himself on record atthls
time. “If tbo Knights of Labor,” said ho,
“expect to hold the support nnd sympathy of
tbo American people, they must rAst off the
followers of the red flag. Powderly is stronger
today in tbe order than over before. This
grand letter will l>c rend in nearly every local
assembly of knights throughout the laud, and
it will bo accepted as tho true doctrine of the
organization.*'
“What about the special session of tho gen
eral assembly of tho knights?” ho was asked.
“It will not be held. All this talk about re

Kvcr siuro the name nnd objects of tho Kuighta

counterfeit organizations. First, there was
the Improved Order of tho Kuights of Labor,
which was started in Baltimore in tbe summer
of 1883. Then thero was t ho Knights of Indus

Now it is the Progressive Order of Knights.
They aro all counterfeits. Their promoters aro
mostly all idle fellows, who have been hurlod

“Don't you think tho salary of the general
roaster workman is too high ?”
“No, I do not.” said he. “Mr. Powderly has
been so poor that he could not afford to buy
even hooks niul papers which he actually
needed. His salary of $1,300 a year was mostly
all spent in charity. I have bocn an officer of
tbe order myself, and 1 know th tt, owing to
theabaenroof a provision in our constitution
to lend an indigent knight money on his travel
ing card, I have been unable to collect various
sums advanced in that way. Mr. Powderly
spent most of his salary in this manner, and,
now that the order is rich, he is entitled to re
ceive at least half what he could make in busi
ness.

Tho Tradesman aayaj that among tho moat
important features of tne industrial revival of
the past year are the Urge number of furnaces
set up in Alabama and Tennessco, the erection
of two steel and wrought iron mills In Chatta
nooga, the organization of coal mining com
panies In Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Kentucky, the establishment of large stove
faetorica In Alabama and Tennessee, and the
extraordinary development of tne lumber
business in every southern state.
The American Homeopathic Observer says: “The
Liebig Co.’a preparations should not bo confounded
with patent nostrums. Its Coca Beef Tonio is a
legitimate pharmaceutical produot, and worthy ol
the recommendations bestowed upon it by both
homoeopathic and allopathic journals. Invaluable
to all who are run down, nervous, dyspeptic or
bilious.”
King Out, Wild Bells I
Bjn^ out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
Ring out Uic grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
lUn
Ring out false pride In place and blood.
, , i place
a .ic civic slander and the spite:
Ring in the love of truth and right,
‘ - in the common love of good.
t the thousand years of peace.
Ring in tho valiant man. and free.
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darknesa of the laud,
Ring m the Christ that is to be.
-Alfred Tennyson.
