TWO PY PULL OUT BARBERS AND TAILORS LIKELY TO WITHDRAW FROM TRADES ASSEMBLY. THEY CLASH WITH ITS RULES, WHICH DISBAR UNIONS NOT AFFIL IATED WITH AX INTERNA TIONAL ORGANIZATION. BOTH OF THEM ARE ESTRANGED Frobn <h<» Xntionnl Unions Through Disagreements us to the In surance Feature. Two organizations affiliated with the trades and labor assembly will hold special meetings at Assembly hall this evening, and, if some of the expressions heard during the past week can be construed as the sentiment of a major ity of the members, the two unions in volved will withdraw from their re spective international associations. If such action is taken, they will also be compelled to sever their connection with the local central body, for the reason that the constitution of the as sembly expressly forbids any union representation which is not under the jurisdiction of an international organi zation of its own particular trade. Since Treasurer Cleary is alleged to have gotten away with the funds from the local barbers' organization, some time in the fall of 1896, misfortune af ter misfortune has fallen upon the union until despair has seized upon the boys to such an extent that they have become exceedingly discouraged. Short ly after the alleged defalcation of Treasurer Cleary and before the union had become aware that the hand some balance they had thought safe in bank had left the city in company with their trusted officer, the interna tional officers notified them that they were suspended for non-payment of dues. Investigation of Cleary's books discovered why they were suspended. They immediately went to work and squared up with the international, as they thought, but when they present ed sick benefit claims for two of their members, the information was sent back that they had forfeited their ben efits while the union was under sus pension. This was almost a Pitzsimmons knockout for the union, but through the efforts of M. E. Murray and others, who believed the difficulty would be finally adjusted to the satisfaction of all, meetings have been held regularly, although with a diminished attendance and considerable less enthusiasm. About three months ago the tw r o mem bers who were debarred from benefits brought suit in the district court to re cover the same. Now comes the in ternational, through its executive board, and asserts that rather than lese the case an assessment will be lev ied against the entire membership, and it will be taken to the court of last resort, if necessary, to carry the point in dispute. As the local union is prac tically without funds, It is in no con dition to put up a finish fight, and the action taken this evening will prob ably result in sending the charter back to the head organization and immedi at< steps to unite with the state association. Tiie tailors' union is also booked for a special meeting tins evening at the c hall, and their grievance is prac tically th<- same as the barbers' — v con troversy with the International Tailors' Union of America, over the disallow ance of a claim for funeral benefits. As stated last week exclusively by the? <; i <> be, one of the members of the local union, named Olson, died and a claim was j-.r sented to the internation al authorities for the benefits which it was supposed his widow was entitled to. On the ground that the deceased was one month in arrears for dues, the payment of the same was refused. The union th 'li undertook to collect the amount, but were unable to secure a settlement. The death benefit feature has not proved satisfactory to the journeymen tailors thoughout the country, and as a consequence nu merous efforts have been made to abolish it entirely, or to d<> away with the technicalities which have always barred the way to collecting the bene fits due the surviving relatives of de ceased members. The local union re cently refused to pay further interna tional dues until a satisfactory settle ment was made, and the probabilities are that at the close of the emergency nil >!ing this evening they will either have good assurances that the claim will be paid or they will secede from the parent organization. BURY HIM AT CLINTON. I That Is the Decision of Ks-siiik Ilaupi's Relatives. The body of Prank Flaunt, the young man who accidentally shot himself at Clinton, 10., Saturday, on a house boat i in which he and R. Anselment, also of ! this city, were making a trip to St. Louis, will not be brought back to St. Paul, but will be buried at the scene of the tragedy. The young man's family, 1 consisting of his widowed mother and i ■ elder sister. .\;iss Adelaide Kaupt, live j I at 108 West Third street, but have re ceived no details of the accident fur ther than a telegram from the authori ties at Clinton, stating that Haupt was killed by the accidental discharge of a musket in his own hands. Haup was | twenty-one years of age, and formerly ! worked as a conductor on the Grand ' avenue street car line. During the sum ] mer, he and Anselment, a former ele vator boy at the Buckingham, con structed a house boat on the river, and | Sept. 1 started for St. Louis. Young Haupt has written regularly to his j family, who but last Thursday receiv ed a letter glowing with details of the pleasant trip the young men were en joying. Miss Haupt left for Clinton . l;'.-t evening to superintend the inter- I ir,nt of her brother's body.

Secretary Harrington, of the board in question, said yesterday that there is no opposition to Mr. Germain secur ing a license providing he can pass the examination. Mr.. Harrington denies ever having said that a number of men who sought licenses have ben turned down because they were not union men.

DEAF MITES MET To Organize an Auxiliary Church Society. Responding to an invitation of Rev. Father Gibbons, of St. Mary's church, forty deaf mutes of the Twin Cities at tended a meeting at St. Mary's parish school yesterday afternoon. Some weeks ago the attention of Father Gib bons was called to the fact that there were about 100 deaf mutes in the Twin Cities, who by reason of their infirmi ties were unable to participate except with their eyes in religious services. An informal meeting was held the lat ter part of August, and yesterday afternoon a society was formed with Anton Schroeder as president, Miss C. Smith, secretary, and Rev. Father Gibbons as spiritual director. It was an interesting sight to watch the proceedings of the first meeting of the society. Motions were put and car ried and the usual parliamentary for malities gone through with without a single objection so far as talk was con cerned. Each of the members of the new organization appeared to be deep ly interested, and the address of Father Gibbons, which was written out and told to the members in the sign lan guage by President Schroeder.appeareu to give great satisfaction. The society. Father Gibbons said, would meet the second Sunday in each month for re ligious instruction and the society would be conducted on the same line as other organizations connected with the church. After the election of of ficers, Father Gibbons, who is master ing the sign language, talked with his fingers to the members as to the aims and purpose of the society, and in a general way on the subject of religion Among the two score present yester day were a number of women and children. SPOKE TO FORESTERS. Rev. Snm G. Smith Addresses Mem bers of the Order. Rev. Dr. S. G. Smith, of the People's church, preached to the members of the local courts of Foresters last evening, and that order was well represented in the audience. The sermon was a beau tiful lesson in the objects of fraternal ism and Forestry in particular, and illustrated the highest principles of such a brotherhood and its ennobling influences. Dr. Smith said, in part: "The forests bring to us a message of life. I know of no greater pleasure than to walk through them in the springtime, to observe the budding leaves on the trees and tread on the rich velvety carpet of verdure, to listen to the caroling of birds and the hum of insect life; our hearts are thrilled in unison with a love of nature, and we join in with the feathered songsters in a paean of praise to the Creator. "The forests also bring us a message of beauty, the remembrance of which will last through all the years. The leaves cannot die, with autumn's frosts, without throwing out their banner of beauty. They die rejoicing in a knowl edge that with another year they will bud again, a knowledge of a glorious resurrection. "The forests mean more than this, they have a utility beyond the gratifi cation of the senses. They furnish food and water; food from the banana and other bearing trees, while at their roots the springs of sweet water gush forth out of the soil. "To the Edamites in Arabia, the for ests provided shelter and protection from the hosts of their foes, the 'Baby lonians, while it was here that the tribes were wont to unite and hold their courts. "Forestry is founded on divine prin ciples, and in its courts there can be no association of man to man, except that good be in their hearts, there is the honest hand and the open eye, which draw members together. The church is an institution 'oonned togeth er for the elevation of mankind and to instill the principles of a righUous liv ing. In Forestry there is the care of the home in one hand and in the other the spirit of the church. The social, rnal spiritual and benevolent prin ciples of the order arc but advancing this one desire for the elevation of mankind. "To the Foresters I will say I wel come you t ■> fellowship in your love of nature, in the three great principles of your order, patriotism, protection and fraternity, principles which are found ed on divine law. Your patriotism teaches you love of country, of the glorious flag and of the union of states. Protection means that you extend help to one another. Selfishness is alone in this world; its hand is against every one and every one's hand is against it. therefore we have fraternity. I again welcome you here tonight, and you will be made welcome next Sunday night and every Sunday night." WYAXD FOR PRESIDENT. Local Traveling Passenger Agents AVill Bdom Him. A special car on the Omaha train for Chicago last evening carried a jolly party of nearly a score of people, St. Paul members of the International As sociation of Traveling Passenger Agents, en route for Nashville, Term., to attend the twenty-fifth convention of the association — the silver jubilee. The car, that magnificent piece of rolling stock, the "Great Falls." was provided through the courtesy of the Great Northern railway, and was fur nished with all sorts of provisions to relieve the tedium of a long trip.

After the adjournment of the convention they will go to Cincinnati over the Louis ville & Nashville, thence over the Big Four to Chicago, and home on the Omaha. The St. Paul delegation will make a strong effort to "bring the next conven tion to this city, and has the promise of the support of the Chicago mem bers to that end.

HOT STUFF IN A HAY STACK SETS FIRE TO THE HAY AND SPOILS 'A PHOTOGRAPHIC GROUP. WHISKY , FLOAT PARACHUTE, Safd <o> Have Borne an I niperiled Picknieker in Safety From the Ton of the Pyre. There is as cheerful a set of cherubs as ever sat on a crescent In this city of saints and seraphim, says Both Sides, and to divest themselves of such of the iniquity as is certain to gather on the garments of the most righteous even in this Apostolic burg, they oc casionally take a trip to sylvan re treats, going by the way of the raging waters. And thiey call their day's di vertisement a "bouillon and clam bake." Their first was held on .Tuesday, Sept. 28, and they went "over the raging main" of the sinuous Minnesota, by that staunch craft Gracie Mower, until on its shady banks they discovered Billy Sands holding Tom Little, the cook, on the edge of the chafing dish, and Tom waving his pink shirt as a sign that it was well and prepared for the jolly party to disembark. Billy and Tom had been up all night heating recks for the bake, and had the chow der a-la-mode (whatever the deuce that is), when the Gracie Mower swung gracefully to the landing. On disem barking, Billy and Tom were obliged to take affidavit that everything was ready for the assault, and when the word was given to fall to, the way those succulent clams disappeared would h : ave put a Rhode Islander to the blush. And the bouillon! Well, it flowed into those merrymakers as smoothly as beer falls into a brewery visitor. In fact, such an excellent feast was served that Hank Logan positively states he overheard a hot clam remark to a cricket under the rocks: "It's a hot time in the old town. I'm in it for a brown roast. In it up to the neck." This is Hank's story; not ours.' After evprbody seemed satisfied noth ing would do but to turn at the nation al game. And it was a game for red lilacs. If Soekalexis had seen it he would be pouring fire water into him at the rate of a gallon a second. Who won? Don't ask us. They all won. Everyone of them is a friend of the scribe's and he wants to return whole to his parents from his next visit to St. Paul. What we do know and will swear to is that Jim Forestal, finding he couldn't beat a clam to the home plate, boarded his milk wagon and drove around the diamond, but when they picked him up in sections from under his white horse and milk cans at the home disk, the umpire wouldn't al low the run until the wagon spokes had been pried out of Jim's ears. Then the umpire was thrown into the Gracie Mower's flu« box to thaw out, and the white- wincod dove of peace again hov ered over the erstwhile Held of blood and carnage. Oh, they had heaps of fun. and heaps of bouillon, and heaps of clam?, and "sich." Then nothing would do but that a group photograph be taken. Dickey, the photographer, was of the party, but he confided too much at the outset to an italic visioned assistant. The lat- U r has not been cross-eyed from birth. He got that way looking for change after asking "everybody in the house take suthin." He posed the excursion ists around a haystack, and when Dickey saw them thus grouped, know ing the camera wasn't an old army blunderbuss, and wasn't warranted to shoot around a corner and "vaccinate," he nearly fell in a flit, but the sight of Charley Kartak doing the Goddess of Liberty act on top of the stack set tled it. Somehow, as the party were grouped the stack took fire, it is claim ed, from so many "hot numbers" be ing in the vicinity, and for a time Charley's fate was a question. How he got out of the dilemma is told by himself. He says: "The flames towered higher and higher, and were reaching my whis kers, when I saw a farmer standing on the road and looking as if I wag toast for him. I cried: 'Hey, Rube! Come over!' He yelled back: 'Corse it's hay, and durned good hay at that, an' mighty dry. I'll be over in the mornin' an' eat wats left of ye.' That made me yell louder, when Sands sent Harris up to me with a whisky float, and no balloon ever lit lighter than we did. This goes." Everybody regretted the absence of "Dutch Dick," who was called to "Yar many" to see that the valiant Her mann wouldn't stub a toe getting on his pedestal. After paying $17 for the hay con sumed, the photographer for the tine group picture he at last succeeded in getting, and principally after paying ! the "bouillon and clams" an au revoir, the Cheerful Cherubs returned to the i city in the quickest time ever made ! by the graceful Gracie.

' Three local Methodist pulpits were occupied by new pastors yesterday. Central Paik church had in the place recently occupied by Dr. William Mc l Kinley, Rev. B. Longley, late of Wl- nona, and for a time pastor of Foss M. E. church, in Minneapolis, where he made his influence felt. The new pastor is a Canadian by birth, and was formerly in a Toronto pulpit. He is in the prime of life. The new pastor at First M. E. church could hardly be called a strang er, as Rev. Frank Cowgill, now In charge there, hae been at Hamllne. Rev. R. M. Avlson's successor at Clinton Avenue M. E. church was Rev. Mr. Hambly, recently of Wnona. HARVEST HANDS HELD UP. Bandits Made n Rich Haul on the Great Northern, A trio of bold bandits held high car nival on a Great Northern stock train coming into Minneapolis early yester day morning by "sticking up" between thirty and forty harvest laborers re turning to their homes and robbing them of every article of value they possessed. Money, watches and trin kets were appropriated, though many of the victims had been fearful of rob bery and had sent the most of their earnings to the Twin Cities by ex press, thus saving the greater part of the season's earnings. Among those who were on the train were William and John Xorvak, living at Clinton, Ind., who have worked dur ing the harvest as partners. They ar rived in St. Paul yesterday, penniless, but are being cared for until the arriv al of their money by express today, by a down-town hotel keeper. According to their story there were about forty men on the train, riding" on top of the cars. Just outside of Minneapolis three men with masks covering their faces and each carrying a big revolver came down the train from the direc tion of the engine, ordering every one of the laborers to march along ahead of them. In this manner Simmons and Norvak say the entire crowd was rounded up, and, at the muzzles of three revolvers, forced to crawl through a rear window Into an empty box car* near the rear of the train. The robbers followed, the men say, when one of them flashed a lantern and all of the laborers were bunched together in one end of the car. Then one at a time they were ordered to step forward, and each was systematically searched. Most of the victims had from $3 to $5 in their pockets, and sev eral carried their entire season's wages. All were stripped of every cent, and a number of the men also lost watches, aggregating, according to Simmons and Norvak, over $200 for the robbers. Simmons lost $4 and his companion $3. After each man had been "frisked," the crowd was kept under guard by the bandits until Min neapolis was reached, when they jumped from the car and disappeared in the railroad yards. Simmons and Norvak have receipts for the money sent by them by express and expect to get it today and continTio their home ward journey. They say that the la borers were cautioned at Wilmar that gangs from the Twin Cities were mak ing a practice of holding up cattle and freight trains to rob harvest hands traveling in this way. HALF A CENT BELOW. South St. Paul Says It Can I mleraell Chicago. The Stock Yards Reporter says: The management of the Union Stock Yards company scored another great point in their efforts to build up a great live stock center, in locating Swift & Co. at South St. Paul. It has long been conceded that the locating of one of the stockyards points in the Northwest set tled the future for all time, and South St. Paul has been selected as the only practical location in which to build up a groat slock yards and packing in dustry. Swift & Co. will spare no expense in fitting up the big plant recently occu pied by the Minnesota Packing & Pro vision company, with the most modern and complete machinery, so that the big plant may be run to its capacity at a profit. The record of their rapid growth shows they are in business to do business and not run at spasmodic intervals and in a small way. There is tributary to South St. Paul 10.000 hogs, 2,000 cattle and 1,000 sheep per day the year round, and it only needs a market for it to bring it here. The demand for choice fat steers has always been exceedingly limited, need ing a buyer having an export and an Eastern outlet that will create a con stant and steady demand large enough to absorb all that are offered. The difference in freight rate in favor of the St. Paul market is about 14 cents per 100 weight, added to which Is the necessary loss by shrinkage by ship ping to Chicago, and the extra, cost of feeding, all of which will enable Swift & Co. to buy at fully half- cent a pound below the Chicago market. To this must be added the saving of freight on the return shipment of the finished pro duct, and it can be readily seen that the other large packing establishments cannot compete for the Northwestern trade; it was a shrewd move on the part of Swift & Co., who will doubtless reap the benefit of it.

Howes & Co., local agents for the Belding Spool Silk company, on the second floor of 93 East Sixth street, during the early hours of last evening, but after an ex citing encounter with several A. D. T. employes, one of the men was captured near the scene of the attempted rob bery, while his alleged companion was later arrested by the police. The pris oners are Daniel Burgoyne, recently paroled from the state reformatory, aft er serving nearly two years for bur glary, and "Butch" Corcoran, also well known in local police circles, both of whom are charged with burglary. The attempted robbery was a particu larly bold conception, and was only forestalled by the A. D. T. burglar alarm, with which the wareroom is fitted. That the thieves expected a big haul is evident from the fact that a horse and buggy, Identified as having been hired by the burglars, was found in front of the entrance ready to carry off the plunder. The burglars cunning ly selected a time for the job when the streets of the vicinity were tilled with people going to the theaters, when their presence would be less likely to excite suspicion. Driving up to the street entrance, they left the horse un tied and boldly ascended to the second floor of the building, where they were practically secluded in forcing open the door to the wareroom. The regulation "jimmy" was used in this task and the heavy oak door frame was literally splintered, before the lock gave way and the thieves were free to plunder the stock. But they were in ignorance of the burglar alarm, and with the opening of the door the signal that something was wrong was communicated to the A. D. T. office. Edward Barry, a messenger boy seventeen years old, was sent to inquire into the mater and the authori ties at the central police station noti fied. When young Barry reached the wareroom he found the door open and stopped inside to throw the switch which would let the office know of his arrival. As he crossed the threshold he was suddenly seized by two men, one of whom choked the boy's startled cry, while the other thrust a big revol ver in his face with an admonition to be quiet or he would be killed. The lad was badly frightened, and while the man with the revolver kept the weapon pressed to Barry's temple the other robber continued the interrupted opera tion of filling a large sack with boxes of silk thread. When some minutes had elapsed and Messenger Barry <iid not send in the accustomed "taps" to the A. D. T. office, the other employes became alarmed and Electrician Waler Mc- Glynn and Clerk Robert Henderson started on a run for the source of the alarm. The burglars heard them ascending the stairs and met them at the open door. The released messenger boy had hidden behind a counter, and the bur glar with the revolver promptly poked the weapon under McGlynn's nose j and ordered him to throw up his hands. McGlynn carries a pistol him self, however, and, instead of obeying the command, drew his own weapon and blocked the doorway. "Shoot him, let him have it," cried the unarmed robber to his companion, and both rushed at McGlynn, who tried to discharge his revolver, but, in the excitement, the cartridges fell out of the cylinder and the weapon was useless. Both burglars grappled Mc- Glynn, when Henderson took a hand in the struggle. The thieves doubtless feared to add murder to their crime, for there" was no effort on the part of the man with the gun to shoot, both trying merely to escape. Finally, the armed burglar broke away from the struggle, and bounded down the stairs. A moment later his companion at tempted to follow suit, but Hender son tripped him on th^ landing and grappled with him before he could pick himself up at the foot of the stairs. But the burglar was desperate, and tearing himself froe aa^ain dashed out of the doorway. Hender son was but a few feeet behind, how ever, and an exciting chase began. The man ran into a blind alley between the New York Life building and L. L. May's feed store, closely followed by Henderson, who twice secured a grasp on him, but was each time shaken off. When the pursued man found his es cape stopped in the areaway, he showed fight, but Special Officer Mo riarity, who head joined in the chase with nearly 200 other people, placed him under arrest just as Henderson had again manifested pluck by closing in on the man. .At the central station Capt. Rouleau recognized the prisoner ; as Burgoyne. Corcoran was arrested i by Detective McKinley an hour later, while crossing the Robert . street bridge to his home on the West side. Both m°n deny the charge against j them. Burgoyne claiming merely to have joined in the chase. The buggy found at the scene of the | robbery is owned by Frank Wolf, a j liveryman at 203 East Eighth street, j He called at the station after Bur- | goyne's capture and at first declared | he was one of the men who had rent- j ed the rig early in the evening.

A Wonderful Statement From Mrs. McGlllaa to Mrs. Pinkham. I think it my duty, dear Mrs. Pink ham, to tell you vrhat your wonderful Compound has done for me. I was dreadfully ill — the doctors said they could . and some- ' *~ times I would get so blind, I could not see for several minutes, a I could not stand very long without feeling sick and vomiting-. I could not breathe a long breath without scream ing, my heart pained so. I also had female weakness, inflam mation of ovaries, painful menstrua tion, displacement of the womb, itch ing of the external parts, and uleera tion of the womb. I have had all these complaints. The pains I had to stand were some thing dreadful. My husband told mo to try a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham "s medicine, which I did, and after taking it for a while, was cured. No other kind of medicine for me as long as you make Compound. I hope every woman who suffers will take your Compound and be cured. — Mrs. J. S. McGiixaSi 113 Kilburn avenue, Eockford, 111.
