From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The application of electricity to canal boats is suggested by W. L. Adams, lleproiiosas to use an electric trolley to tow the boats. If Mr. Adam's plans are feasible, the problem of getting speed on canals is solved. Labor as well as time will be saved, and the electric cur rent which hauls his boat along at a round rate of speed will cook the captain's meals, warm his feet and light his course over the bounding main. Water power for running the electric motors could be ob tained in many places, and Mr. Adams estimates that the cost of hauling by electricity would be very moderate. Now that the peo pie are beginning to realize the value of canals, improvements in the motive power of canal boats are of the greatest importance. Claiming; a Meteor.

Eridenoe Ea in.'h to Bang the Men Fre'ght A gen's Confer Captariug Opium. Terke Haute, August 25. The executive council ol the United Older of Railway Employes went into t-e&5ion about o o cloi-k this morning. U tien the session will come to an end not eveu a single member of the council knows. No conclusion will be announced till evening. At b o'clock this evening the fol lowing was sent out by the coun cil railro id emp'oyes,' signed President Sament and Secretary Sheehau, to Powderly, at Albany : The supreme council adjourned this afternoon, after carefully con sidering the strike in all its de-1 tails. i ou will note the result ol our deliberations in to-night's dis patches, which it is hoped will meet with your approval. The council was unan.mous in con sidering your tosition, and the grand executive board most earn estly hopes that the right, of which you are champion, in the great conflict of the New York Central, may linaily and powerfully prevail. The official statement of the council given to the Associated Press representative is as follows: Headquarters of the Supreme Council, United Order of Railway Kinployees: lo all Laboring Or ganizations, Men and Brothers. On the night ot August 7Ih, a strike began on the New York Central and Hudson River railroad involv ing about 800 men in the employ of i lie same road, who were mem- oers of the great labor order known as the Knights of Labor. The reasons set forth by Powderly, the i-hief execitive of the order, may be summarized as follows : "Pre-emptory discharge of be tween 50 and 60 men employed, and members of the K. of L., with out giving them a rea-on whatever for their discharge. Prior to the strike the men involved nought, linouh their represeniative ol the order to have their grievances adjusted, but their appeals bein dicregarded the t-trike was inaug urated." At this juncture Powderly, gen eral nia:-ter workman oi Knights of Labor, entered upon the Uk of adjusting the difficulty anl making such arrang menu as would result in tti hon rable peace between the men and officials of the road, but his etfec s were unavailing, h compr hending the purpose of Webb, third vice-preeiuent of the company, to make war upon ti.e Knights of Laoor and ultimately upon all labor organizations repre sented on his road, sought confer ence with tue cupreine council ol united orders of railway employes. The requett oi -Mr. Powderly wa- granted to the extent of four in?nioers. A council ol the chiei executives from the federated or ders met him in the city of iiuffalo, namely, F. P. Sareant, g.and master oi the brotnei hood of locomotive firemen aud presi dent of the supreme council, S. E. tVilkeiiaon, giand master of the brotnerhojd oi railway trainmen, aud Frank Sweeney, grand master of the switchmen's mutual aid association. The members of the supreme council, in response to the request of Mr. Powderly, went to New York to afford such aid as was in their power to bring about a settlement between Vice-President Webb and Powderly. Pow derly sought to have the men dis charged heard in their own defense in the presence of Webb and him self, but this fair and honorable proposition was reiused. Pow ueily proposed arbitration, which was also lefused, as were other propositions made by Powderly, having for its object the honorable set lenient of the existing trouble, all of which were reiused on the part of Webb. The members of supreme council while in liutialo and JNew York had ample oppor tunity to thoroughly inform them selves on alt the matter concerning the strike. In response to an ol der from Sargeant, president ol the supreme ouncil, that body convened in Terre Haute last Sat urday and remained in session until noon to-day. In making their report to the council, the members who went to New York to conler with Powderly found all the statements made by him fully correct. In an interview with Webb he refused to entertain any proposi tion looking to the settlement of thvs ditlicu'ty. The council having heard the statement ol its me in bers who had visited New York for the purpose of asceiiaining the true condition of affairs, ex haustively discussed every impor tant proposition and arrived at a conclusion as follows : First: That the position of the K. of L., as set fotth by Powderly, general master workman and gen eral executive of the board oi K. of L., rreet with our unqualified approval. Second: The course pursued by Webb towards Powderly and the K of L., notwithstanding his declarations to contrary, evidences his purpose to destroy the labor organization Cite New Yirk Central & HudsCn Hirer railroad. Third: The policy of Webb is as d jspotic to man to ?"fo n ex tent that it outrages- every prin ciple of American citizenship, and ii generally adopted would, if suc cessful, reduce the American work ingmen to a degraded condition of a flairs. Fourth : Webb, by the employ ment of Pinkerton thieves, thugs and murderers vile wretches from the slums of New York and other eities to kill workingmen because they dared to protest against bis rule and strike lor tneir rignts is a crime of such enormity as will as sociate the name of Webb forever with those who, dressed in a little brief authority, have used their money to secure the power to de 4rade their fellow men. Filth: That efforts now being put forth by Webb to destroy the Kuighis of Labor would, were cir cumstances arranged in like man ner destroy orders, engineers, fire men, conductors, trainmen and switchmen. If successful, it is only a question of time when simi lar efforts will be made to seal the iate of other labor organizations. Sixth : Webb, by the course he pursued toward the Knights of Labor and representatives of labor or ganizatious, Iihb shown a total disregard of these principles of citizen sovereignity desired by all Aorkmgme;i worthy of the name, and considering only hit money power and the corporative power of the company he represents, his ids, which speak louder than words say, in the language of W. II. Yanderbilt, once autocrat of New York, "the public be dam." ."-eventh : Webb seeks to sup port this arrogant attitude toward workiugraen and labor organiza tions by assuming that the New York Central & Hudson River railroad is private property and that his acts in the treatment of his employes is ic no sense a mat ter of public concern ; that he can with impunity discharge men and remand them to idleness and pov erty and render them homeless wanderers without giving them any reason or explanation what ever for his conduct, disregarding the corj-oiation for which he plays autocrat. In view of the foregoing facts the supreme council, upon the records oi its unanimous and unqualified approval of the strike on tie New York Central & Hudson River railroad for cause set forth by Powdeily, as also the efforts made -v him to bring the strike to au honorable termination. In this lie received a general expression of approval by the K. of L., and the course of Webb is as unequivocally condemned. It now becomes neces-ary for ihe supreme council to say that owin to the fact that lie ord.-r of K. of L., is not a mem ber of the federated railroad em ployes, the laws ol the supreme c uncil do not permit its doing nore tuan it has done to aid the Ivnighis of Labor, and i inability to participate otherwise in the strike is now known and appre ciated by Powderly. Albany, August 25. General Master Workman T. V. Powdeily and fou i members of the general executive board, arrived this morn ing. Powderly and the general executive board will meet in joint ses-ion with district assembly 246 this afternoon. District assembly 246 comprises three delegates from thirty-nine local assemblies who represent a membership of 18,000. Powderly, when asked the object of the joint session, said he did not know exactly what might come up for discussion, but he was sure the general situation of the strike would be the main qnestion for consideration. A few through freights were moved on the Delaware & Hudson and no local freights moved yet tins morning. Police were patrol ling the yards of the company this morning. Chicago, August Zo. Nothing definite has developed in the stock v.irds strike thi morninsr. Re ceipts of cattle, bogs and sheep are very heavy. Swift and Nelson .: orris have shut down their houses and 5000 men are forced to re nain idle, as there is nothing for them to do. It is expected some of the roads will attempt to handle a portion of the fresh meat that is in danger of spoiling. If they do it will probably precipi tate trouble. This afternoon the strikers' com mittee reported to the strikers that ttiu Switching Association had de cided to accept the proposition of the switchmen for an advance of wages. The superintendent of the stockyards was notified that every thing would be moving in an hour. If the men should refuse to accept this, their own proposition, the railwav companies will run the yards with their own crews. Washington, August 25.

Why don't you get a move on a d enjoy yourseiir inerei eee mat nice fat grasshopper T Watch me take him in." And the Trout made a fierce rush at tbe unfortunate hop per, and was wound up in Mac's reel. The 8ucker mournfully shook his head and told an Eel who bad come up that he knew the Trout would not last long; he was too fresh.

And the Eel saw him stretch his mouth a foot or two and pick up a fat worm, in whose carcass waa bidden one of Grandpa Hess' ringed Kerty's, and he too left the wetness. Left all alone, the Eel fastened to a wash boulder and fell to medi tating,- until after considerable effort he arrived at the following morai.: It makes little difference whether one is a Trout or a Sucker, there is always something be will bite at. And if yon can't catch a person with one bait, use another. Nehav- lem Journal. Barlett Paara.
