Bxadxko, Fa., Deo. 39. The Contention of
Knights of Labor is this city to-night -prill be
an interesting event in connection with the
strike troubles of the Philadelphia anil Read
ing road. The mooting will be held in Ex
celsior Hall and will bo attended by the lead,
ing men of tho order in this Assembly dis
trict. The offers of the Joint Committee of tho
Miners' Amalgamated Association and tho
Minora' Knights of Labor assemblies to
bring about peace between tho company and
the railroad hands, is the topio of all talk.
Mr. Oorbin's second telegram in answer to
the last sent down by the Joint Committoo
wiU be read at to-night's convention, to
gether with all other correspondence,
The mooting will have as many frionds in
it as possible of snoh radioal leaders as Lee.
Sharkey and OahiU.
i The Exooutivo Committee, whioh changed
their headquarters from Philadelphia to
Pottsville. have boon very busy tho past few
days in selecting radical men suited to thoir
ideas to bo delegates to this convention.
Tho lenders who favor tho striko
are loaving nothing undone to
havo 45,000 minors of tho company
join issues with the disohargod and
striking railroad hands and coal-handlers at
Fort Richmond and declare a gonoral striko
along tho lines and throughout the coal re
gions. By many it is bolioved that the con
vention to-night will pass a resolution to
strike.
Telegrams this morning from Ashland,
Mahanoy Piano, Gordon and other local
points state that trains are running as usual
and all tho mon are at work. The collieries of
tho company and of individuals started up
at Ashland. Tho miners about Mahanoy also
started in this morning. All is quiot over tho
regions and tho side-tracked ooal is all re.
moved.
Mining was generally resumed to-day, but
tho mon are not at all satisfied, because their
wages for next year havo not yet boon ad.
, I justed. They want some advance if not tho
8 per cent., a port of It. Trains and oolliories
will finish this day's work, at all events, and
there will be nothing moro new till night.
Philadelphia, Doo. 39. The Boading
situation is no less complex to-day than yes
terday. Everything hingos on. the outcomo
Of tho negotiations between President Austin
Oorbin and Chairman Leo and tho result of
the convention of employocs which will bo
held at Boading to-night.
Chairman Lee came down from Fottsvillo
this morning, and in company with another
member of tho committoo, Henry Bennott,
called on General Supt. Sweigard in order to
IUlk over tho situation, and, if possible, to
arrange a trace.
Mr. Sweigard was wiUinc to meet Lee but
refused to roceivo him and Bennett together,
whereupon Lee, who wished to have a wit
noss to tho interview, deolined to hold any
conversation with the Superintendent.
Mr. Sweigard's position is that he cannot
and will not rocognizo a committeo of the
Knights of Labor.
"Aftor tho visit." Mr. Leo said, "Mr.
Bwelgard sent for mo to call on him and I
came, bringing Mr. Bennett with me.
" Ho refused to reoeivo us both, though ho
was wiUing to talk to me. That was not satis
factory, and I am now going back to Beading,
where a convention will be held to-night of
representatives for all tho assemblies of
Beading Railroad and Goal and Iron Gom-
S any employees, and I bolieve tho result of
ist convention will be a general strike, in
which the miners will join."
The impression was that this was the last
opportunity the company will have to settlo
with the men. and it failed to avail itself of it.
Supt. Sweigard sold this morning that
there are more applicants for places than
cauld bo given work. Everything is working
smoothly.
EwxAnrru, N. J., Deo, 29, The Beading
Company assumed tho offensive to-day nt
Elixabcthport and stortod up their docks
with non-union men.
Early this morning Sheriff Glassby, of
Union County, was appealed to by tho Bead
ing Company for proteotson of their prop,
crty, they giving Sheriff Glassby notice that
they were about to resume operations. The
Sheriff had a conference with Shipper Wal.
lace, and assured him that ho would soe that
no violence was done.
At 8 o'clock tho steamer D. E. Martin and
Thomas Hunt arrived at the docks from New
York with 17S men of various nationalities.
They wore quietly taken off the boats,
marched upon tho dock and put to work.
Many of the mon aro experienced coal
handlers. All tho approoches to tho docks are guarded
by special policemen and Finkerton's mon
armed with revolvers and clubs. No ono is
allowed to visit tho dooks unless be is an
official of tho company or has a boat awaiting
a load.
A Wobld reporter visited tho dooks at
noon. Ho was stopped two or three times by
tho spocials, but finally allowed to proceed.
The shipping office was found in charge of
Deputy Sheriff Dixon, who has his head
quarters there and has charge of all the spe
cial officers guarding tho dooks.
Thore are about thirty of thorn in all.
Work progressed fajjiy this morning and the
pffloials any thoy aroTSatislled with the out
look. Nono of theso discharged mon, they say,
will be takon back. There aro sixty boats
lying at tho docks, and the captains of these
bo far have offered no objeotions to load.;It is
expected that about a dozen will object, but
tho remainder will not.
Deputy Sheriff Dixon docs not anticipate
any trouble, but say ho is prepared for any
emergenoy.
There are 0,600 tons of coal on tho docks,
orabout three days' work. No coal has or.
rived since Friday.

I i f ho "" a rhiMelphia, yesterday
is
wore filled easily, and the strike had dwindled
to proportions which made it unworthy the
fflguity of being called a strike.
Uliis afternoon Presidont Austin Corbin
sent the following order to General Managor
A. A. McLeod at Philadelphia:
To iuoh of oar old employee, ti hare stood man
fully and faithfully by us we feel obliged and
thankful and ahall not forget them. But the time
has now arrived when all ol our employees will be
required to decide whether they expect to retain
their places by reason of honest and faithful ser
vice and prompt obedience to the orders of the
company that employs them and para them, or by
blind obedience to the direction of the Knights ot
Labor, through which organization the leaders
hope to coerce ui Into the employment of men
who conelder their first obedience due to that order.
The men that stand by at will have employment
with reaaonable hours, and good pay, as much as Is
paid by anr other corporation of a similar char
acter, lien who do not will never be allowed on
the road again under any circumstances.
We hare never objected to labor organizations
and do not now. Every man shall no free to be
long to one or not, as be pleases. But the heads
ot snoh orders cannot and shall not dictate
to this company as to whom It shall employ
or how operate its property. Flaces that are left In
obedience to the orders of tho Knights of Labor
shall be filled by new men, and snch new men will
be retained and under no circumstances te dis
charged to moko room for men who have left their
places.
Hereafter we shall operate this property with
employees who consider their first duty Is to the
company and expect to obey reasonable orders
made In the transaction of lta business.
There has never been a moment when, under
any circumstances, we would arbitrate any ques
tion growing out of this strike. There has been
nothing to arbitrate. It Is only a question as to
whether the company ahall be permuted to operate
Its own property a property In which there Is In
vested over $200, ooo, (too-or whether that property
shall be controlled by tho Knights of Latior.
It may as well bo understood now, and from this
time on, that any wheel that Is turned on the Head
ing system will be tnrned under the orders of the
management of the company, and under the orders
of nobody else.
A despatch to Mr. Oorbin from tho Phila
delphia office says t
The men havo come back so fast that no more
new men are wanted at Port Richmond.
No business was transacted at tho meeting
of tho coal barons this morning at tho Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Aftor a session of a fow
minutes on adjournment waB takon for a
month.
Knights of Labor and trades unionists aro
discussing the strike earnestly, A member
of tho Executive Board of District Assembly
No. 49 said, when asked his opinion regarding
tho offeet of a general striko on tho order
and whothor or not tho d of eat of tho men
would bo disastrous to tho order
" If the Beading men go out and appeal to
tho Gonoral Executivo Board that body will
tako ohorgo of tho striko and, if nocossary,
call on overy national and district assembly
to aid them.
" There aro 600,000 members in good stand
ing in the order, and thoro is not ono who
will not contribute his or hor mito to aid
their brothors of tho Beading Bailroad.
" Failure would not break up tho order any
moro than tho Southwestern Railway striko
did, I hear somo wisoaores going about and
saying the Knights are on tho wano, that
they havo another black oye, and all such
talk.

of last night caused considerable damage to
tho shipping along the wharves. Tho steamer
John Brooks had hor rail broken and her side
stove in above high-water mark for about
f orty-flvo feet of her length.
The spars and timbers in Bradford's spar
yard were scattered about the harbor, many
of thom being lost. The sea ran very high,
brooking from Spring Point Ledgo to Fort
Preble. It Is thought that all tho vossels
anchored off Peak's Island are safe.
Advices from the Cape Elizabeth coast re
port that tho scene during the great storm
was wild and magnificent almost beyond de
scription. Tho sea rose to a height never before
reached there. Tho spray flow completely
over tho lighthouse
" It was a grand sight," said ono man, " I
never saw the liko before and never expect to
live long enough to seo It again. No man
could doscribo it The sea broke, it seemed
tome, all thej time. Even whon wo stood
well baok frxp tho shore and looked out at
sea we felt '"jnoat frightened.
It was just as if tho sea was coming in one
great mass right onto the land. Tho very
ground shook beneath our feet. Far out at
sea we could see tho great waves nso and
seem to fairly heave themselves against us.
In the opinion of old sailors we just escaped
a most destructive tidal wave,"

Tho nows of tho loss of tho large iron iMK
stoamship Nowcastlo City off Hantuoket M
last Thursday, rooelved by Sanderson & Son, 1 SsB
her Now York agents, this morning, suggests .R
tho idoa to old tars that the vessel may have i'R
oomo in contact with some of Mr. Leary'a JK
floating logs. ;jBl
Tho big raft was set adrift by the Miranda tM
In tho same neighborhood where the New- sB
castle City is supposed to havo been lost -SgsoEl
Many shipping men say that If one of the) ' '
looso logs struck tho steamer sho would.wittu ' jHl
out doubt, bo sont to the bottom, Thoy bo- ' j9l
liovo that great damage to commerce by tho iKfl
raft is yot to bo reoordod. llalllH
Tho raft thoory, though only based on cos- 'aLHH
Jooturo, has many ardent believers. Il
Tho Nowcastlo City sailed from Newcastle, fttLaH
England, on Nov. 20. Sho was in command H
of Capt. Thornton, on old and experienced 'iaaH
skippor, and curried n ere w nil told of thirty- VtsHilH
threo men, H
Aftor she sailed nothing was heard of her 41BE
for somo time. Heavy head winds and high viiaaaK
seas provolleiWu tho ocean, and as tho itH
steamer carried no passengors her agent ';SH
thought that tho captain was plodding tho 1Hfl
doop in a nuiot and easy way. ';iHi
After being on tho ocean for nearly three) .-. ? ,'SBI
weoks tho steamor was sighted by a pllot-boH $sh
lost Thursday. She was then in the vicinity 1
of Nantuokot, and was apparently all right. 'mbswI
From thattimonoworuwasreoeiveaof tho tHl
whoroabouts of tho NewcaBtlo City until her jsiiH
loss was reported this morning. V4B
Tho schooner Agnos J. Grnoo, whioh 6T- ,',slB
rlvod at Ilaltimore yesterday from Boston, isoH
reported that on Doo. at sho was boarded by lLB
tho crew of tho Nantuoket South Shoal IsHB
Lightship, who said that Capt. Thornton and. 'vSH
his crow wero on tho lightship, their vessel v9LB
having been lost. .wm
' Tho crow of tho lightship said that tho H
mon wero anxious to bo takon off, as tho sup- " i-LH
ply of provisions was getting short. $IK
This Is tho only information the agents) JsHIB
horo have roceived so far. Yesterday Sander. staK
son A; Sons telegraphed to tho captain of tho - OV
stoamship Buffalo, which was to havo tmllid imH
from Boston that day to scorch in tho neigh- ,'IH
borhood where the seamor was Blghted loat VsiiH
Thursday. Tho agents thought that proba. TtLH
Wythe Nowcastlo City was In distrcsa,,. -. VkH
The Buffalo is expected 'to arrivo in part CjH
this evening. If the weather was dear when ''-ifiU
sho passed tho South Shoal Lightship it Is tsKI
probablo that sho was signalled and tho New- LiBI
castlo City's orow were taken off. ".ltaH
Tho Nowcastlo City was built in Hartle- t'LiH
