Trouble.HK
TO AUJX«^1N° MOV* OF JAT OOVIJ>B TH* KSOLISH BONDHOLBIB8.
The presence In this city, last Saturday, ofMessrs. Powderly, Turner, Buchanan, Baileyana Hays, the general executive board of thenignU of Labor, was construed to mean that
something ofconsiderable importance in con¬nection with that order was on foot. A Stabreporter made diligent effbrts to find Mr. Pow¬derly and his colleagues during the day, butthey were absent from their hotel. They hadrested from their labors and made a visit toMount Vernon. In the evening, however, thereporter was fortunate enough to meet all five
gentlemen together. Mr. Powderly. as1- reP1y to a question, stated that
wa conference in this city be-
rand a delegation of Knights of
X^borfrom St. Louis was erroneous. He saidH.?t»T?ef8.r8"xTur,,er» Buchanan, Bailey and
Just returned from a trip to St. Louis,where they went lor the purpose of looking intothe trouble which had arisen between the labororganization and the Wabash railroad. Mr.rowaerly was prevented by illness from accom¬panying them. The lour members of the boardcame direct from St. Louis to Washington, andau ot the gentlemen were satisfied that theymust have been mistaken for a delegation otine St. Louis knights. They could not accountin any other way for the report that such adelegation was coming here as, they said, nosuch move was ever contemplated. Mr. Pow¬derly, chairman of the board, Joined the othermembers in this city. Beyond some matters ofinterest only to the local order here, no busi¬ness was transacted.GOING TO MEET THE WABASH MANAGERS FACE
TO FACE.Mr. Powderly said to The Stab reporter:
"We are going from here to New York wherewe hope to meet tne managers of the Wabashrailroad. No, we have no engagement withthem. They have ruu away from us so far, butwe hope to catcu up with them, and mean to ifit takes all summer. We want to talk to themman (to man and settle this trouble. It hasbeen given out tiiat there is a strike on thew abash road. That is not true. Our men werelocked out. They did not strike. They areready and anxious to go back to work. No, sinu s not a strike. Tiiis whole trouble isacuu-niug moveol Jay Gould's to scare the Englishbondholders ot the road by making them be¬lieve that a big strike is on baud and that theirproperty is likely to be ruiued. With that fearbefore their eyes, Gould thinks they would sellout at low figures and he would gobble up theproperty. We ai'e desirous of settling thetrouble and of getting our men back to work.\\ e want to meet the managers, and, if theyare not pliant tools of Jay Gould we believe itcau be settled."
TO 11KEAK UP THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR..'General Manager Talmage," remarked Mr.
Turner, grand secretary and treasurer of theKnights of Labor, "denied in a telegram to ustnat'he had ordered any lockout, but we havean otneial letter of bis in which ue says that hefirst intends to break up the Knights*of Labor,and that then he will begin on the Brotherhoodoi Locomotive Engineers."'« VPowderly said that the board had onlyissued oue order, so lar, in connection with the\S abash road. lie explained that the reductionor .orce on that road had left it without menenough to do the work, and his board hadissued an order forbidding the Knights ofLabor on any of tiie other roads of the Gouldsystem from cleaning or repairing rolling stockor handling freight of the Wabash line. "If,"he added emphatically, "the Wabash managersinsist upon disregarding that order, If theyattempt, to force our men on the other roads tohelp the Wabash out, then a strike will beordered, and it will be a big one. Why," heauued, "a locomotive ought to be thoroughlycleaned every three days to keep it in good andsale running order, but the Wabash has beenrunning some of theirs eighteen days withoutcleaning. Some day there will be an explosion,and then it will be charged that the Knights ofLabor are using dynamite."HR. POWDERLY NOT A CANDIDATE FOB STATE
TREASURER OF PENNSYLVANIA.The reporter spoke to Mr. Powderly of the re¬
port that the democrats of Pennsylvaniathought of nominating him for state treasurer,
may say," he replied with earnestness,that I am not a candidate and would not ac¬
cept the nomination."
The SlieroMcoplsur Convention.A PAPER REAI) BY PROF. TAYLOR BEFORE THE
society in Cleveland.The annual meeting of the American Society
of Microscopists, in Cleveland, during the pastweek, has been one of the most interesting inthe history of the society. One paper thatcreated much discussion was ottered by Prof.Thomas Taylor, of this city, the microscopist olthe agricultural bureau, on "Butter and Fats; orhow to distinguish one fat from another bymeansofthe microscope." Prof.Taylorexplainedhis methods of examining lard, beef fat, andbutter, and described the appearance ol theirpure and impure conditions under microscopictreatment. He said tlfe globular crystals ofbutter, when kept lor a month or more, seem tobud like a vegetable spore, and frequently everyround crystal will show projecting from each asmaller crystal.

Sympathy for Mr. Keiley.BISHOP KEANE WRITES A WARM LETTER TO
THE REJECTED MINISTER TO AUSTRIA.The Right Rev. John J. Keane, bishop of the
diocese of Richmond, recently wrote a letter toA. M. Keiley lu relation to what he terms the"shameful persecution" that gentlemen issuffering. The bishop says:."l allude to thetreatment inflicted on you as an insult notonlyto one of the most highly and deservedlyesteemed Catholics of the diocese of Richmondand one of the most honored citf^ns of Vir¬ginia, but through him to all his fellow Catho¬lics and fellow citizens in this country and tothe Holy Father himself. But in this Insult toyou I can see no humiliation save to those whohave offered it. It was an honor to be unwel¬come to a government whose whole course hasbeen maaked by injustice and irrellgion, andthe government of Austria having by ita recentact made itself the abettor of the guilt and part¬ner in the shame has thereby made Itself In¬capable of humiliating you. While I have re¬gretted the attacks made upou you by part ofthe dally press, still that need not concern usznucli, as nothing better was to be expectedrrom such partisan and interested sources. Iam confident that all Catholics whose opinionyou would esteem honor you for the persecu¬tion you have suffered for truth and Justicesake; Your position is, indeed, an embarrass¬ing one, with a family to provide for and yourbusiness transferred to others; but surely it can¬not be that our government, whose well-meant
placed you in this embarrassment,will leave you In it or fall to provide that yoube in no way loser by it."

ELOPED IN THE OLDA Teatanmme Tonif LMy LmHome fcy Means of a Ladder.Amantle Wcddlag at the City Hall.Near Raccoon Ford, in Culpeper county, Va.,
there resides Mr. John Zsch. Holliday. A youngman of 22, named Robert L. Hicks, formerly ofSpottsylvanla oounty, Is engaged on his farm.Miss Lena Welch, a buxom girl of 18, quitehandsome, with dark hair and eyes, Is em¬ployed by Mrs. Holliday to help her. Miss Lena,whose parents reside about half a mile away,and Mr. Hicks became lovers after an acquaint¬ance of but two months. They assumed thistender relation against the wishes of parents,who, as Miss Lena said, seemed to have an ideathat girls should not have beans. So closelywere they watched that they scarcelygot an opportunity to see each other,not to speak of promenading and conversingas other loving couples do. While Miss Lenawas locked up stairs last night, the hour ap¬pointed for an attempt to escape from the re¬strictions placed upon her into the haven ofmatrimony arrived. Looking out, like Juliet,of her window about 10 o'clock, she saw theend of a ladder placed against the eaves, and ina short time Mr. Hicks made his appearance onthe ladder,and beckoned to lier. Hastily puttiugon a straw hat and taking her shoes In herhand, she walked out of her window upon thetin roof fearful each moment that the rattlewould betray her. Fortune, however, favoredher, and she soon reached the ground and Mr.Hicks' loving arms. She put on her shoes, andthe two arm in arm walked over the muddyroads to Mitchell's station, a distance of sixmiles. They arrived there about 11:30 o'clockand took the train on the Virginia Midlandroad, arriving here about 8:30 this morning. Theconductor oi the train directed them to a coachand the court house. At the court bouse theymade their wishes known, and Mr. R J.Meigs, jr., the assistant clerk, issued alicense. Friends were found who sent forRev. M. A. Turner, of the M. E. Church.Some of the employes showed the groom into
the room adjoinlug the old Circuit Court room.Aunt Caroline, the colored woman in charge ofthe ladies' watting room, took the brlde-expec-taut to a room where sue ai ranged her toilet,the most difficult part of which was cleaningfrom her shoes the mud of "old Virginy." MissLouisa Dav's, who was on business at tbeCourtHouse, and heard of the proposed marriage,volunteered to act as bridesmaid, and Mr.Charles Pelham, a member ol the bar, volun¬teered to take the part of groomsman. A youngman presented the bride a handsome boquet.At 9:15 o'clock, Mr. Turner having taken hisplace in the Circuit Court ante-room, the bridalprocession left the waiting room, and marchedinto the presence of the minister. The knotwas tied, the bride received a kiss and congrat¬ulations followed. While waiting for theirmarriage certificate the couple frankly toldthose present of the difficulties they hud sur¬mounted. The young lady remarked that asshe was the oldest of live sisters, there wereenough left at home to help her parents.

Xr. TIMn and the AdministrateWHAT GKN. ROSKCRANS HAS TO SAT.
Gen. Rosecrans does not take any stock Inthe report that ex-Governor Tllden is at warwith the administration. He does not believethat Mr. Tilden hfei sought to dictate appoint*ments, or that he wonld put himself in anysuch attitude. The general thinks that if Mr.Tilden were asked to suggest a lit man for someposition he would probably do so, but that bewould never, unsolicited, propose men torappointment to office.The leading democrats it# Washington gen¬erally discredit the story of Mr. Tilden's atti¬tude toward the administration. As a rulethey express the opinion that if Mr. Tildenshould ask the appointment ofa man to officehe would be appointed.
He Went.Washington Correspondence N. Y. Run.Mr. Montgomery, the new commissioner of
patents, while engaged in "turning the rascalsout," decapitated a messenger In his bureauwho had been In office forseveral years withoutdoing much of anything to earn his salary.Upon receiving his discharge he made a greatpdoover It, and Insisted that the axe bad fallenon the wrong neck. He was a democrat, hesakl, and had always been a democrat, hadvoted the ticket straight at every election, andstood by his party even in the face of dischargeby a republican administration. Mr. Mont¬gomery looked him over and then called for theletters of recommendation upon which he wasoriginally appointed."You are a democrat, are you?""Yes, sir," replied the man."Ana always have been?""Always.""Then you are discharged for falsehood andand tor obtaining an office under false pre¬tence*. In this application for appointmenttiled five years ago you state that yon are a re¬
publican, no one but republicans endorsed you,and every one of them commends you as afaithful aud useful member of that party. Youcan go."There are a good many department clerks
turning up who have always been democrats,but this example has assisted to make suchpretensions unpopular.The Man Some Doctors Were LookingFor.From the Wellsboro Gazette.Charles 8. Kingsley, ol Mansfield, a veteran
of the late war, returned to his home in thatplace a few days ago for the first time since heenlisted, having been for twenty years con¬fined in an insane asylum at Washington. Hewas wounded twenty-three times in battle.He has the use of but one leg and one arm. Hewas shot once In the mouth, the ball comingout at the corner of the lelt eye. The wound hereceived in the head necessitated it being heldtogether by three silver plates. It was soonalter this operation that he became Insane. Ashort time ago It was discovered that the causeof his insanity was one of the plates pressingon his brain. The defect was remedied, and hegradually recovered his reason, and came outot a living death of twenty years. All that hastranspired in that long Interval Is a blank tohim, the war memories being to him as yester¬day. His papers will entitle him to a pensionof #73 a month and back peusion ot nearly$20,000. He found his family at Mansfield indestitute circumstances.Anti-German Demonstration In Madrid.A CROWD OF 40,000 PEOPLE TESTIFY THEIB
DISPLEASCjtE AT BISMARCK'S ACTIOS.An anti-German demonstration was begun in
Madrid yesterday. At 4 o'cloek 40,000 personshad assembled on the Prado with banners andother emblems. Speeches were made inSpanish and French, denouncing Bismarck'saction in annexing the Carolines.

Opposite the primeminister's palace cheers were raised tor thepremier, but he did not appear, aud the cheer¬ing changed to bowling and whistling. Severalmen scaled the balconies and planted a nationalflag amid a storm of enthusiastic cheers. Allthe clubs, including the military and aristo¬cratic, displayed banners. The procession washeaded by democratic leaders. It did not passthrough the street upon whicli the Germanlegation is situated. At a meeting of the Mili¬tary club. General Salamanca presiding, It wasunanimously agreed, amid Intense excitement,to expel the German honorary members.The Loudon NfmtdurU'* correspondent at Ber¬

fair. It Is thought that a compromise is proba¬ble, as Bismarck, it is said, will prefer to aban¬don his claim to permanently offending Spain.

Belll|«rfat Adalrfn of tkr Lllj.LIGHT ON THE ENCOUNTER OF THE
EARL. AND THE bAoNET.A cablegram from London to the New York
Herald says: Inasmuch aa the Lonsdale-CheUwjrnd quarrel still continues to be a frequenttopic of conversation here, and as all sorts ofstrange and contradictory rumors are In circula¬tion about It, I have taken the pains to ascertainthe actual facts about the origin ot the dispute.I now cable the whole story, as related tome, merely premising that my informant guar¬antees its absolute correctness.Sir George Chetwynd and Lord Lonsdale are
both very old friends of Mrs. Langtry. Owingto some reeling of icaiousy on her aciMunt, therehad been all through the past season a more orless concealed enmity between these gentlemen.Shortly before the row in the park Lord Lous-dale, while calling upon Mrs. Langtry at herhouse, happened to see on the mantelpiece apicture of herself painted on china, fie ad¬mired it very much, and as he rose to take hisleave he begged Mrs. Langtry to make a presentof it to him. Mrs. Langtry replied that the plo-ture was not hers; that It belonged to Messrs.Downey, the photograghers, who had refusedto sell It even to her. Thereupon Lord Lons¬dale said:."Well, at all event*, you can lendIt to lire. I would like to show it to some one."He was Anally allowed to take it away on con¬dition ot returning It lu a few days.
THE RAPE or THE PICTURE.Some time passed, however, and still Lord
Lonsdale neglected to keep his promise andbring back the picture. On the day l*?fore thefinal outbreak ot hostilities Mrs. Langtrv wasriding In the nark with Sir George Chetwvudon one side or her and Lord Lmsdale ami Mr.Alfredde Rothschild on the other. Mrs. lang¬try asked Lord Lonsdale when he was going togive back her picture. "Oh!" he replied, "1 amgoing to buy It from Downey." Sir GeorgeChetwynd then chimed in, saying that LordLonsdale ought to return the picture, andadding as he turned toward him, "It you don'tI will make you." High words then followedfrom both sides.
THE BATTLE.On the same evening Lord Lonsdale wrote to
Sir George Chetwynd requesting an apology,and threatening chastisement In case this wasrrtused. Sir George, however, did not see tit tosend any apology, and on the lollowing day.wisely or unwisely.Lord Lonsd:ile pnxwdedto the park to nut his threat into execution.He began by naunting in Sir George t'beb-wynd's face the receipt from Downey, whom hehad finally persuaded to sell htm the picturewhich had been the bone of the whole conten¬tion. He then committed the assault as it wasdescribed at the time. It is not true that thePrince of Wales had a hand in the settlementof the unfortunate affair, which was finally ar¬ranged by the good odices of Lord Calthorpeand Lord Huntley.
Bound to See Her Husband.THE RUSK MRS. HIX ADOPTED TO GET INTO A
RICHMOND JAIL.A sensation was caused iu police circles In
Richmond, Virginia, Saturday by the discoverythat one of the prisoners iu the city Jail whowas attired as a man was a woman. The nameof the prisoner is Henrietta Hix. Her husbanddeserted her in Boston a tew months ago.Learning that he had come to Richmond, thewife donned male attire and shipped on t>oardof a vessel at Boston as a cook about two weeksago. Upon reaching Richmond Mrs. Hix dis¬covered that her husband had been arrestedand committed to jail for robbery> Determinedto gain access to him and share his prison cell,the woman stole a small amount of monev.She was arrested, and without arousing thesuspicions of the authorities as to her *ex, shewas placed In the same cell with Hix. Theruse was discovered Saturday, and the husbandand wife were placed in separate cells. Hix con¬firms the woman s story, and says they weremarried in Boston about two years ago.

Payment of Parnelllte Member*.IRISH CONSTITUENCIES INSISTING THEY SHALL
BE PAID FROM A GENERAL FUND.A dispatch from London to the Philadelphia
Pren, says there are symptoms of revolt In someof the Irish counties over the payment of theIrish members of the next parliament. Mr.Parnell insists that each constituency shall becompelled to pay its ownmember a salary upouwhich he can manage to live in London. Theelectors generally recognize the justice of pay¬ing the member so as to secure the services ofable men who could not otherwise afford to de¬vote themselves to politics, but some of thepoorer constituencies object to having the taxfor the support of their members direct lv as¬sessed upou them. They want a general fundraised, to which they, with others In Irelandand elsewhere, shall contribute according totheir means, and from which all the membersshall be paid alike. It is probable that somecompromise will be eflected by which the con¬stituencies will be required to pay what theycan, and that the deficiencies will afterward biemade up and the salaries equal izea by draftsupon the general fund.
Maxwell'* Line of Defense.The attorney lor Maxwell, who killed Preller,
has outlined his defense. He says that he willmake the state first prove that Preller is dead.Some persons in St. Louis are of the belief thatPreller is not dead, and that the hodv foundin the trunk Is that of Hugh Motham Brooks.This would make Maxwell out the young min¬ister who fled from England with Brooks, andwho has not been accounted lor. What leadsto the belief that the body in the trunk is thatof Brooks is that the underclothiug on thecorpse was marked "H. M. B." Maxwell, bythe advice of his attorney, will have nothingmgre to say about his case.ANOTHER IDENTIFICATION OF MAXWELL.W. A. Shaw, a stenographer, employed in the
office ol Wayne MacVeagh, in Philadelphia,has, through the descripi ions and newspapercuts of Maxwell, the alleged murderer ofPreller, at St. Louis, identified the accused asHugh Brooks, a former acquaintance of his atHyde, Leicester, England. Mr. Shaw last sawBrooks in August. 1884, when on a visit to hisparents, who reside near Hyde. Brooks thenhad an office as solicitor in Hyde, but did nothave much practice, and amused himseli withvarious scientific pursuits. He was much de¬voted to magic lanterns, and apparently wasaccustomed to make chemical exj»eriinents.He had many noticeable eccentricities, and inpersonal appearance was strange looking. HiBeyes would wander, and he seemed engaged instudy. His father had been summering at theIsle of Wight, aud during his absence the sonspent money extravagantly, aud to cover hisexpenditures forged his father's name to a notefor £300. On accouutof this misdeed he lettHyde and went to Dublin,afterward drilling toAmerica.

Price..Gen.
