Electric Canal Boats.
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.
They are having a hard time cut
in wasmngton, Kansas, over a
meteor. It fell on Miss Kelsey's

January, who saw it fall, dug it

able crop, bought it from Miss
Kelsey's agent for $'-'5 and sold it
to the state university for $600.
Miss Kelsey was away from home
when the thing was sold, and now
comes back and claims that her
agent had no riuht to dispoee of it.
She proposes, if necessary, to bring
suit for it on the ground that in
Kansas meteors come properly un

ducts, claiming it as her just and
due meteor right, so to speak.

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.

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.

chatted pleasantly with his friend.
tbe Su xer, and tried to cheer bin
up a little.
"It makes me feel sorry," said
the Trout, "to see yon going around
with your lip lianging down that
wi y, like a motherless col . 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. "You never see me taking
ny such chances; nowhere comes
a worm there ia no danger in
worms. Watch me pick it up."
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

It makes little difference whether
one is a Trout or a Sucker, there is
