Debate in the Assembly Indi cai.ei a Strong Undercur rent of Discontent. Bloomer, of Toledo, Gets the Eounce, as Did Tom Barry. Then the Knights Take Turns in Roasting- a Chicago Editor. Special to (he Globe. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 19.— At the meeting of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor this morning, the report on the appeal case of William Gleason of the Chicago district was con sidered. His appeal set forth the same cause of complaint upon which Barry based his contest, that a member could only be tried and expelled by the court of his local assembly. The assembly, going back on the precedent set in the Barry case, held in favor of Gleason. The matter now goes back to Gleason's local assem bly, when a trial will be had. The assembly then took up the appeal of Joseph M." Bloomer, of Toledo, O. It also is like that of Barry's, Bloomer having, without trial by his local assem bly, been expelled by the general exec utive board. The committee reported in favor of Bloomer, holding that he must be given a trial in his local assem bly. The debate indicated to Powderly and his friends that their opponents would not patiently bear more mistreat ment, and the report of the commit tee was voted down by a vote of 45 to 98, so Bloomer was ex pelled as Barry had been. There was more dissatisfaction among the dele gates at noon than at any time since the assembly met. George Schilling, of Chicago, was particularly incensed be cause" the convention "put aside," as he said, "all methods of decency, and framed a new law to meet the require ments in every case that came up." At the afternoon session no actual busi ness was completed, though a lively time interested the delegates. Various unimportant routine matters were re ferred to the proper committees, but the business that took the time of the general assembly was of adi lit rent char acter. Last week George E. Detwiler editor of the Knights of Labor, a Chi cago publication, was in the city in his individual capacity of editor and mem ber of the order, after which his paper is named and of which it is not the official organ. On his return home Mr.. Detwiler wrote an editorial, which ap peared in his publication Saturday and was, .read here to-day. This leading editorial was an attack on the character and position of this general assembly, stating that Powderly is the ruling mind; thai the convention was packed in the interest of the general master workman, and that Powderly and Litch nian were B!l afraid of PUBLICITY and therefore both of them were ready to make peace, and promptly did so at the lirst chance. Powderly took the floor"and a vigorous denial ami denun ciation of the whole matter. His speech was pointed and emphatic and was greeted with frequent' and hearty ap plause. He has introduced and referred to a committee a resolution to the effect that whenever a member of. the order shall, through the public press, make accusations of misdemeanor against members and officials of the order with out first having made and sustained those accusations before the proper court of the order, he lays himself to immediate expulsion by the general ex ecutive board without trial. Mr. Pow derly supported this resolution in his speech and explained that all such mat ters should be brought before the proper tribunal and not given to the public first. Ex-Secretary Charles H. Litehman followed Mr. Powderly in an other hearty denunciation of the edi torial and denial of its statements. W. T. Lewis, the master workman of the miners' assembly, who has been considered an opponent of - and competitor for first place with Powderly, was equally prompt and em phatic in his remarks. John L. Lee. of Philadelphia, master workman of the railroaders, said that if the stories were , true every member of the order wanted to know it, but they wanted to find it out in the ways provided by the laws of the order. Others followed, and all de nied and denounced while none de fended the editor in his criticisms. The 6tand taken by Mr. Lewis in this case is regarded as significant, and Powderly's friends hope it means the miners will not desert the order. There has been a great fear of that and it will not be fully settled until the meeting to be held by the miners at Columbus, 0., on Dec. 5. By a secret circular, Mr. Powderly has asked them to remain in the order, and try to add to it those miners who are out. In like manner Mr. Lewis responds to Mr. Powderly, saying the Knights of Labor must do something for them if they wanted to keep their present membership among the miners. There the matter stands, as it has for two weeks, and action here is expected to influence the Columbus meeting next month. Mr. Lewis has kept quiet and took no stand for or against the charge, but some hope his action is indicative of his probable action. Regarding the declarations of Thomas B. Barry, expelled member of the gi-ner 1 executive board, R. R. Elliott, of Bridge, Ont.. who is secretary of the grievance committee, says that Barry was given an opportunist to make good his assertions before that commit tee, but REFUSED TO AVAIL HIMSELF of the privilege. He made a general and strong denial of Carry's statements, and further says that Barry has not been a member of the order since last April, and he gives the law to back up his assertions. ■"• To-day Powderly consented to accept the position of general master workman again at a reduced salary if he is given the right to appoint his own advisers. A quarrel is imminent between Lewis, *. the master workman of the miners, and Powderly, on account of a circular sent by the latter to miners' assemblies, ' urging them to remain with the Knights. Lewis favors their union with the feder ation of miners and mine laborers. FINDS FAVOR AT ROME. For the Moment, His Holiness the Pope Will Tolerate the K. of L. Special to the. Globe. ../ "> New York. Nov. 19.— The Catholic News has received from its Roman cor respondent the following text of the re ply sent by Cardinal Simeoni, prefect of the propaganda, to his eminence,"Cardi nal Gibbons:! it is my duly to inform. your eminence that the fresh documents relating to the associa tion known as the Kuights of Labor, for warded to this sacred congregation, were ex amined by it at the sitting of the IGth'of Au gust of the current-year. After li ving at tentively studied whole subject the sacred congregation has directed me to reply. that, so fa as at present appears, the - association of the Knights of Labor can for the wo ment be tolerated. The sacred congregation merely requires that the necessary modifications should be .introduced in the rules of ' the Vatican to make clear whatever might seem obscure or miL-ht be interpreted in a bad sense. These modifications are required particularly in the passages of the preface to the rules con cerning local associations. And .then the words savoring of socialism and communism must be corrected in such a way that they shall only affirm the right, conferred by God on man, of acquiring property, using legiti mate menus, and respecting the proportionate rights of all others. I am most happy to be able to inform your holiness that the sacred congregation has highly approved of the design of the American h e archy to see with us that in this and similar associations nothing should be secretly introduced which is contrary to jus tice and morals or not entirely coniform able to the regulations regarding the Masonic sect. Whilst confirming your eminence in this excellent design in the name of the sacred congregation I beg to accept the as surance of your respectful and devoted sentiments."' SPRINKLED \. li'H KEROSENE. An Attempt to Burn His Estab lishments Lands a Clothier in Jail. ■Pittsburg,- Pa., Nov. 19.— Morris Keller, a clothing dealer, was arrested to-day on a bench warrant on a charge of attempting to defraud his creditors. The suit was brought hy Samuel Lewis & Co., of New York, who had furnished Keller with goods. At the hearing P. J. Keenan, his clerk, told a remarkable story of a plot to burn the store for the 53.000 insurance, which if it had been carried out, would have probably resulted in the loss of several lives. Keenan stated that Miller bought kero sene last Friday, and ordered him to sprinkle the store and a number of cases of cotton batting with it. He was then to turn on the natural gas, and apply the match to the kerosene. Kel ler left for Salem, 0., and Keenan was ordered to telegraph him after the building had been burned. Instead of doing this Keenan notified the agent ot Lewis & Son, after which he telegraphed Keller that every thing was all right. When Keller came back he was arrested for. attempting to defraud his creditors. Keenan says it the plot had been carried out the lives of four persons living over the store would have been sacrificed,. as it would have been almost impossible for them to escape. Keller is in jail. A RIVER OF MOLTEN GLASS. Forty Tons 'Of. sparkling Fluid Let Loose and a Factory Burned. Philadelphia, Nov. 19.— The burst ing of the blowing trough at Whitney's glass works in South Camden. N. J., to-day released forty tons of molten glass, which ran in a fiery stream, set ting the works on fire and causing con sternation among. the workingmen. There were 100 men employed in the building where the trough burst, and their escape was almost miraculous. The glass is melted in au immense tank.. When the blowers are ready for work a huge iron stopper is drawn out of the tank and the glass flows into a long trough, whence it is gathered by the blowers in their pipes. The trough was partly filled with the glass when it burst and the molten glass flowed to the ground, where it quickly spread over the entire building. One of the men shouted to the others to run for their lives. They did so, and hardly escaped from the building when it was one mass of flames. The loss to the building is estimated at £3,000.

Having Wedded an Advent uress, Fred Barber Prefers Death to DL grace. A Pennsylvania Woman Dis figures Her Inhuman Hus band With Vitriol. Cleveland, 0., Nov, 19.— The par ents of the woman who killed Harry King at Omaha live at No. 58 Carter street. Cleveland. A reporter was de tailed to call at the house this after noon. Carefully picking his way tiiiOngh the mud of Carter street, the reporter climbed the yellow clay bank upon which a dozen or more small brown houses are perched. They are located just where the ceaseless whistle of switch engines, the smoke of hun dreds of factories, the dust of the high way and the fragrance of the Cuyahoga river combine to reduce the rents. Stop ping in front of the half of one of these houses which bore the number 58, tho visitor knocked vigorously and his summons brought to the door a sad eyed woman, who said her name was Mrs. Beichier. The door opened into a room, which served the double purpose of a reception and bedroom. Everything indicated the severest pov erty, and the only decorations that ap peared on the walls were the mottoes: "The Lord Will Provide," and "There's No Place Like Home." Two of the ten children ' whom William and Ma 6 gie Beichier have given as "hostages to poverty" were in the room, the young est, a girl of. but two years. ■ When asked if she had heard from her daughter, Mrs. Beichier said: "Yes, we have just received this dispatch from her. We sent asking what :we should do with the furniture in her Chicago home, and who was to care for her lit tle brother Joseph, who has been--stay ing there with her, and with Mary, who is in Chicago at school." The telegram reads as follows: . .. ,- XXxXX Omaha, Neb., Nov. 19.— T0 Mrs. William Beichier, No. 58 Carter street, Cleveland, O. : Mother, cheer up.

Mother must not leave home until I send for her. Will write. Lib bib. "1 can hardly realize," continued Mrs. Beichier, "that.it is my daughteF who committed such a, desperate ' deed. When we came here from England ten years ago, she was thirteen years old, and oue of the kindest of daughters. As we were poor, and had so many younger children, she never attended school after her. arrival in this country. On Sunday she used to go to the Bethel Sunday school, but as she grew older ceased her attendance. She commenced going out to do housework when only fourteen or fifteen years old, and looked out for herself entirely after ;at. She became a very neat and capable house-, keeper, then a dressmaker, and found time to become a good letter writer and reader. She ; BECAME QUITE a lady in way:- and appearance, and was prond and high-spirited. Alter awhile she did not come home often, and we hardiy knew where she lived or what she did. A little over four years ago she came down to the house and said she was going to Chicago and marry a man named Leegarde. We had never se-.-n him, and no one but my daughter saw him until he had been married to Lizzie more than two years. They located on Randolph street, Chicago, and there we addressed letters to Mrs. Lizzie Lee garde." ."Did your daughter know when she married him that Leegarde was not his right name, and that he had a divorced wife?" "She was ignorant of both facts when she married him. but found out about Ora Walker, the variety actress, who was his first wife, before she learned that his real name was King. I don't think she knew that un til she went back to Chicago after her visit to Cleveland two years ago. One Saturday night last March I went. up to Chicago' and stayed over Sunday. I found Lizzie living in fine style. Satur day night Harry did not get home from business until late. I saw him a short time Sunday morning. That night he WAS BROUGHT HOME DRUNK. He had to be carried into the house. I did not see him again. Lizzie had nothing to do with his folks, and Harry said he did not want them to find out he had married again. "1 received a letter last Thursday, written the day before, in which she said 'Slick,' as she sometimes called him, had run off with another woman. She said she would sue for a divorce and get enough money to live on. I wrote right back telling her to come home to Cleveland, not to go into courts, and not to take any more of his money. She never got this letter, if she had she would not be where she is now. We burned her letters as she told us to." Later in the afternoon the reporter saw several people who were in a position to know something of Lizzie Reichler's habits/before her removal to Chicago, and they said .she had rooms in different places down town. They also said that it was under stood about town and in Chicago that she was legally married to H. W. King, the victim of the death-dealing revolver. SHE WAIVES EXAMINATION. "Special to the Globe.
