Whereas. There is danger to our Republic and
to fre oltlzenship in the continuation of present
aonilitions; therefore, be It
Kesolved, That, as organized workmen, we
demand the ceneral Introduction of the eiRht
fconr work day, and that we will use all our
strength and energy toward ihat end.
The resolutions had barely been read be
fore a heavy shower set in, and, by com
non consent. the speaking was postponed
until evening. The picnickers sought shel
ter in the dancing-hall, where the remain
der of the afternoon was spent.
The Socialistic Singing Society, on re
turning from the grove, maiched from the
Union Station to its hall, on East Maryland
street, sinning as it went. Its members re
solved to have a good time, in spite of the
rain, which had cnt short the ont-door fes
tivities. A lunch was served at the hall,
and brief speeches were made by Nicholas
Kerr. Paul Ehinan. Philip Kappaport and
M. Hohenfeld. Following this, the evening
was passed in exercises of vocal and instru
mental music.
KNIGHTS OF LABOR,
Their Observance of the Day Marked by
Considerable Interest.
Great preparations had been made by the
Knights of Labor at the Exposition grounds
for observing the day, and although the
muddy condition of the streets rendered
traveling even by street car undesirable
and uncomfortable, many people availed
themselves of this mode of transit to go
there. The several committees appointed
by the Knights to arrange for the event
deserve especial credit for the manner in
which, under the disadvantage of such un
favorable weather, they provided for
the comfort of the visitors. A raised dais
had been erected for the several speakers of
the occasion, around which seats had been
placed. Professor Houghton's Knights of
Pythias Band discoursed excellent music
from the same platform, and in various por
tions of the hall were stalls and booths,
presided over by energetio caterers. In
these edible articles in sufficient quantity
and variety to satisfy the demands of au
epicurean gastronomical satiety were dis
pensed. The rain made it impossible for any of
the two thousand people who had gathered
there to venture into the grounds, and they
contented themselves. by sauntering around
the building, examining the excellent lith
ographs of T. V. Powderly which adorued
the walls, or in quietly listening to the
music. And they were a very orderly
and well-conducted class of people. - The
committee on arrangements had decided to
exclude beer altogether, and, therefore, the
only noisy participants were a largenumber
of children, who appeared to thoroughly
enjoy themselves regardless of the oratory.
At times their boisterous fun even called
down upon them the request of the speaker
for less hubbub.
A half hour after noon Senator Hudson,
who presided, introduced the first speaker,
Senator David Turpie. who spoke brielly.
He was followed by Father O'Donaghue,
who delivered the speech of the day.
Among other things, ho said: "It is clearly
evident that the audience has come here
for recreation and amusement, rather
than fbr the purpose of hearing
lonir discourses. but I must say
that I am very glad to be with you on this
Organized labor is asserting itself, it is
the body, while capital may be called the
rouI. and in order that things may go on in
a healthy manner in the commercial world
labor must have its recognition. The body
with its strong arms must be recognized if
the soul would live. Great good ba9 been
wrought bv organized labor, if only in
brin trine men together for a comparison
of views. The idea of this Labor
day was a good thing, ;and
should be celebrated just as we
celebrate national indeDendence bv the 4th
of July celebration, and so afford laboring
men an opportunity to com together and
eniov themselves, and they could also ex
change their views on subjects of mutual
interest, and labor in this manner would
elevate itself. What the laboring man
needs is to push forward his claims for
justice and fairness without violence, and
to assert his right, for without him there
would be no millionaires. He must con
eider that his position in life is just as noble
as that of a millionaire. He must dig
nifv his calling, and must make, it
respectable in the eves of all men. He
must make his-homenis kingdom; in that
he is a king,-and there he has a sanctum
where no man can intrude, and no man be
permitted to invade. He must economize
nnrt h most Tiractice sobrietv.
"His wages must be raised to a 'standard
which wilfenable him to keep his family.
and meet his requirements, and also allow
him to save. The laboring man who
only gets sufficient to enable him
self and family to live, is not
treated fairly' and when his voice is
heard the aliowence will come to him.
The next thing which organized labor
should ask for is that the Sunday must be
civen ud to Him who gave it. The em
ployers who would not allow their work-
men to nave tneir baoDatn iur tnemseives
should not nave any employes, i reel as
sured that in the future Labor day will
crow to be one of the greatest days we
celebrate."
Col. J. B. Maynard also read a lengthy
and spirited paper upon the advantages
and rights of labor organization, using
many scriptural and poetical quotations
in support of nis ingenious arguments.
Senator Hudson then moved that a vote of
thanks bo passed to the speakers, the audi
ence signifying their approval by rising to
their feet. A collection, at the termination
of the speaking, was taken up for the bene
fit of the Clay connty miners. This was
the first time the Knights of Labor have
held a demonstration bv themselves in the
city, and the first time, also, they have ever
gotten up a demonstration without solicit-
r t a. xf- a;
in g suDScriptions irom ouisiue parties.
LABOR DAY IX OTHER CITIES.
The Procession In New York Falls Short of
Last Year'sGirls Who Get 'o Holiday.
New York, Sept. 2. Labor day was ush
ered in by bright sunshine. From early
morn rag thfi streets were crowded by
sturdy sons of toil. It was noticed, how
ever, that large numbers of working girls
trudged along as usual with their lunch in
hand. In the majority of cases it was
found they worked in cigar factories and
other concerns, the owners of which had
no respect for Labor day. On the east side
of town it was also noticeable that many
factories blew their 7 o'clock whistles. All
the exchanges were closed, and the custom
house, purely, for clearance purposes, was
kept open from 9 to 10 o'clock.
The procession began to move from Wash
ington parade grounds at 10:S0. There was
an immense crowd present, and as the
bands moved past thev were cheered to the
echo. AH along the line of march, they
were made the lecipients of salvos of
cheers. The parade was not nearly as
large as last year.

expressed the hope that Labor day would

of American workinginen. '

Incendiarism at Anderson.
Special to tli Indianapolis Journal.
Anderson, Sept. 2. The story-and-half
frame dwelling and household goods of C.
W. Conner was burned this morning at 2
o'clock. The building was located in 'Dog
wood," a suburb of the southeastern por
tion of the city. Insurance on house, $500;
on contents, $200, in the Ohio Farmers'.
There were two ineffectual attempts to
bum the house last week, the fire having
been discovered in each instance
in time to extinguish it before much
damago had been done. Conner charges.
that the fire was instigated by certain
saloonkeepers of this city, whom he has
recently assisted in prosecuting for selling
liquor on bunday. Ho is deputy constable
of the township, and has been very active
in looking up violations of the liquor laws.
That there is a bitter enmity against him
by the saloon men there caabeno donbt,
but it is not believed generally by the 3m
munity that they would be guilty of arson
in order to even up with their prosocutor.
The liquor men and their friends are try
ing to make it appear that Conner is the
real incendiary, and that he burned his
own property, in order to make a showing
that ne is being persecuted by them for
having dared to do his duty.
Emancipation Celebration. 4
Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL
RcsnviLLE, Sept. 2. The emancipation
celebration held in this city was a great
success. Delegations from Greensburg
Shelbyville, Franklin, Muncie and other
cities were present The entertainment
held at Melodeon Hall, at night, was a mu
sical and literary success. W. Allison
Sweeney, the chief orator of the occasion,
concluded his address by saying:
Is the future of the colored man in America in
viting or discouraging? By all signs, inviting. If
his progress within the last quarter of a century
has far surpassed the expectations of tho most
sanguine of his friends and observers, within the
next twenty-live years how much may not bo ex
pected of hiiut The great heights are still before
and above him, but he will surely scale them.
Education is the talismanio key that can only
nsher him Into the presence or the uncrowned
royalty of our land the great, and good and
useful. He must "put money in his purse;" must
build homes and own them. But, above all, he
must guard with a jealous and unsleeping eye
his honor, reputation and integrity. These rules
and determinations lived to, and acted upon, a
future, pregnant with successful, honorable
achievement, awaits him. Prejudice will flee
from him, and ostracism will hang its head with
shame and confusion.
For Postmaster at Frankfort.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Frankfort, Sept. 2. Tho name of Col.
Thomas C. Dalbey was this morning for-'
warded to Washington, D. C, by Congress
man Cheadle, together with the recom
mendation that he be appointed postmaster
at Frakfort. The appointment is a good
one, and will give the best of satisfaction
to men of both classes and parties, ite was
one out of six candidates for the position.
The Colonel's record is rirst-class, both as a
citizen and a soldier. He enlisted in Com
pany I, One-hundredth Indiana Volunteers,
Aug. 20, 1802, and was promoted to captain.
Afterwards he was transferred and pro
moted to be lieutenant-colonel of the One-hundred-aud-fiftieth
Indiana. He has been
a resident of Frankfort for many years, and
his life is an open book. Ho is a faithful,
active member of the M. E. Church, and a
stanch, true-blue Republican. His moral
ity cannot nor ever has it been called into
question, and he probably has as few ene
mies as any man in the countv. The ap
pointment will probably not be made at
once, but when it is made Col. Thomas C.
Dalbey will be the man.
A Lesson In Electricity.
Special to Xho Indianapolis Journal
Richmond, Sept. 2. There wa's a phe
nomenal electric exhibition here this morn
ing that might have developed a similar
scene to that recently witnessed at Evans
ville. It was at John Reichart's meat-market,
the reauof which is covered with cor
rugated iron, which is in connection with a
tin roof. John Dierk. a butcher, was first
Ahocked. and badly scared by putting his
. iit .
nana against tne iron, ana men noticed
electric lights all about him. He (rave the
alarm and others had similar experiences
during the investigation that followed.
During this a board over a cellar window
caught fire, as it might when not observed,
and caused an alarm of fire as it did at
Evansville. James Parsons, chief of the
fire department, soon found that the
electrical current came from the trolly wire
of tho electric street railway, by a wire
that touched the tin roof, now wet for the
first time since the line was built, and was
conveyed to the ground by the iron facing
to the building.
