SAVANNAH MORNING NETTS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11,1886.'
CHICAGO** CL VSH.
The Packers Rescind Their Reso
lutions Against the Knights.
Chicago, Nov. 10.—A large number of
men applied lor work at the packing
houses this morning, and about five thous
and men were put to work.
Nelson Morris received a dispatch to
day from the East saying that some on<
down there, whose name he would not
give, send 300 skilled butchers. He
also bad a dispatch trom a slaughter
firm in the East which has been killing
beet for him, which says that they haw
been killing 300 bead of cattle a day, and
cati double that number if he wishes it.
About two-ihirds of tbe men at work in
tbe vards are new bands. The militia
guards were out as usual, and al! the ap
proaches were lined with pickets.
PAYING OFF THK STRIKERS.
There was a busy scene at the Town
Hull at the Union s’oekyards during tfie
morning. About 5,0000f the old employes
ot Messrs. Armour and Swift and tfi.-Chi
cago Packing and Provision Company
were congregated tnere for the purpose of
being paid off. It was deemed more ad
visable to let them get their pay there
than to have it done at the firm-,’ offices.
Besides tbe great throng of strikers there
were thousands of tbeir friends. The
crowd was a little more turbulent than
yesterday, and Gen Fitzsimmons put an
extra lorce o! nieD near the Town Hall, to
be ready in case of any disturbance.
ARMOUR BOYCOTTED.
An afternoon paper says; “A bovcott
has already been declared by the General
Executive Board of the Knights of
Labor,’’ said .Mr. Barry at n ,on to-day.
“It begins on Armour’s meats and other
products. How far we snail extend it as
to tbe other packers 1 cannot say yet.”
The International Carpenters’ Union,
at a meeting last night, passed a resolu
tion expressing sympathy for the Union
stock vard strikers, and offering pecu
niary aid if needed. Gen Fitzsimmons
has requested that a company ot the First
Cavalry be |sent to the yards. It is
tnoucht they can reader more efficient
service in answering sudden alarms than
tne inlaQtry.
A ROW ON A BRIDGE.
There was a collision 10-night near tbe
Ashland avenue bridge between a crowd
of strikers ana a squad of iufantry. The
bridge was guarded by twelve meu from
the Second alnlantry, under Lieut. Mc-
Millan, the balance of the company being
stationed in the vicinity of the neighbor
ing packing bouse. Tbe crowd of strikers
and sympathizers numbered about 500,
and was determined to prevent
the packing house employes from
crossing the bridge on tbeir way
back to the city at the close of the day’s
work. The crowd was charged by the
squad several times and forced to retire
temporarily, but increasing numbers
added to its persistency and a serious
conflict seemed imminent. Finally Lieut.
.McMillan gave an order to load witn hall
cartridges. The crowd thereupon speedily
dispersed and the employes went on their
way witnout further molestation. No
one suffered serious injury.
THE RESOLUTIONS RESCINDED.
Tbe Packers’ Association to-day unani
mously rescinded the resolutions recently
passed concerning their employes and
adopted the following;
Whereas, the packers are confronted with
the fact that their employes are repeatedlv
leaving their employment without notice to
them and to tbe greatrtetriraentof their busi
ness, which isof such a nature as to require
constant prosecution and careful attention;
therelore
Hemilvad, That while we will not exclude
from employment members of such organi
zati, n a . we a ill exercise the right to employ
ana discharge whom we please and conduct
our busine-s on the ten-hour plan and ac
cording to our nest interests.
KNIT GOODS STRIKERS.
The Knights of Labor Committee
Fail to Effect a settlement.
Albany, N. Y., Nov. 10.—The Execu
tive Committee of the National KDit
Goods Association and Messrs. Bailey
ami McGuire, of the National Executive
Committee ot the Knights of Labor, met
here to-day to attempt to settle the differ
ence now existing in the knit goods dis
trict. Messrs. Bailey aud AlcGuire ot
tered the following as the only basis on
w hich they would settle on behalf ol the
Knights of Labor:
That alt former employes be reinstated in
their former plaees and th it the people who
huve taken places of former employes he sus
pended until they have made a settlement
with their organization for violation of its
laws aud rules.
The proposition was rejected and the fol
lowing w s submitted bv the knit goods peo
ple as the basis upon which the manufacturers
would open their uadis to the Kuighlsol La
bor:
Ij.on the right to employ or not employ,
discharge < r i ot dbenarge whom we think
heal a- our employes,and hat w'e continue as
we deem proper as employes those who re
mained In our employ at the time of ihe lock
out, or strike, and those whom we have since
that time employed.
ihe above in turn was rejected by
Messrs. Bailey and McGuire, who with
drew from the conference with a state
ment that negotiations were ended, after
which tue Executive Committee of the
Knit Goods Association, alter full consid
eration, adopted the following:
The mills will be opened to all persons,
whether they have been previously In our
employ or not. on the oasis of au agreement
by those whom they may employ; that thev
will acknowledge and respect ttie right of the

THE ESTATE OF Alii-. STEWART
Ap Effort to Secure the Ownership
of the Mansion.
New York. Nov. 7.—The “White
House,” as the magnificent marble
palace of the Stewarts, on Fifth avenue,
is called, promises to bo the objective
point of some very interesting litigation
in the settlement of tbe estate. Already
: here is a well-founded rumor abroad that
Mrs. Horace Ru6ell holds a deni of this
mansion and that she will produce it
soon. The significance of such a report
may be seen when it is known that Mrs.
Russell is the daughter of ex-,Judge
Hilton. It is supposed that the heirs un
der the will wno may be dissatisfied
with its provisions will find in such
items as ibis ample opportunity to upset
the document without directly contest
ing it. That is, thev will call Judge Hil
ton to an accounting ot his management
ot the property. One of the clausesof the
will provided, as is usual in testaments,
that any heir who should unsuccessfully
co.i’estits provisions should thereby be
deprived oi the original advantage be
stowed by the textatrix; but if any heir
can show’lhat Judge Hiiion has got pos
session of more tuan ho ought to
have, such showing will compel the
Judge to resiore to the estate every
thing so proven, and some at least
of ihe heirs will benefit by it. No one
feature of the entire estate is more ties r
able than tbe “White House,” and if any
way can be found to get it out of the
Judge’s b nds it is pretty ceram to go.
That there are only two heirs w o could
be benefited by such a consummation
does not render it any the less likelv to
occur. These two are Charles J, Clinch
and Mrs. Sarah N. Smith, Mrs. Stewart’s
nephew and niece by her brother, James
Clinch. The other heirs received stated
legacies, so that any addition to the di
visible estate could not alf ct them, ex
cept as they might he moved by sentiment
to see tbe propel ty kept in the family as
much as possible, instead of going m bulk
to an outsider.
Char.es J. Clinch is now about 60 years
old aud a resident of Baris. He carries
about one hundred pounds avoirdupois
more than his share io testify to his
habits oi good living. It le not on record
that he ever earned a dollar or needed to.
In his early days he secured tne hand of
an heiress—one of the kind lound more
frequently in romantic literature than in
real lue. She was Miss Ella Thomas, of
Athens, Ga„ a stately belle, whose
dowry, according to common report, was
a cool million. Her wealth may have
beeD somewhat overestimated, as it is so
often the habit to call any one
millionaire wbose fortune extends in
definitely info the hundreds of thous
ands; hut it is quite certain that her
Beauty was never too highly rated.
Even at the present day she is a beauty;
tall and majestic, with regular features,
and complexion fresh and unwrinkled by
her hall century of untroubled life. Yet
there are circumstances that might have
predicted lor her anything but a peacelul
mind or wholly’ happy existence. Her
family is cursed witn a suicidal tendency.
One brother and two sisters nave brought
about their own death. Mr. Chinch set
out trom Baris as soon as the news of
Mrs. Stewart's death was announced and
arrived to-day. As he is one of tbe ex
ecutors of tbe estate, the testamentary
circus may be expected to be,in about
tue time he meets ids colleague, Judge
Hilton.
Mrs. Smith is the wife of ex-Judee J.
Lawrence Smith, of Smitbtown, Suffolk
county, L. I. Her husband is not a first
rate lawyer. He got his title about ten
years ago, wnen he was elected by popu
lar vote” to be the County Judge ot Suf
folk. It is a position tnat carries with its
title the munificent salary of SI,OOO per
annum. He is not wealthy. Airs. Smith
is now about 60 years old. One of her
daughters is Mrs. Prescott Hall Butler,
w ho comes in for a stated legacy ot S2OO-,
000 under tbe will. Mrs. Smith and 51r.
Clinch are assured of something like four
and a ball millions apiece by the provis
ions of the document, but what the
quality and condition of the property to
be turned over to them Is nobody knows
unless it be Judge Hilton.
$54,000 for a Bridge.
Danville, V a., Nov. 10.—The city of
Danvillp entered into a contract to-day
with tbe Edgemore Bridge Company, of
Wilmington, Del., ior tbe construction of
anew iron bridge across tbe Dan river to
