therefore, worthless; that said bonds were
issued without adequate consideration

hold different opinions regarding the effect
and probable outcome of the order from
General Grand Master Workman Powderly,
directing all assemblies of the Knights of
Labor to withdraw their delegates to the
Federations of Trades. Some are of the
opinion that the leaders of the Federation
of Trades are jealous of Master Workman
Powderly, because the union of the knights
and the traded assembly would cauw them
to yield their potition.

man who eloped with his sweetheart to this
city, dropped his plenteous wad into
the liands of the short-card robbers that in
fest Springfield. The Gloue-Kei'IBLIc
was the only paper in the city that was
awake that day and the publication of the
affair created profound interest Sympathy
was oil the side of Seewald who seems to
be a nice sort of a young fellow an.
the public didn't like to see him robbed of
between 5300 and StOO by such sharks a
the ietty gimblers of Springfield are.
Seewald evidently thought himself that
the proceeding was not mutually pleasant,
for he eugag.sl John Luther Zimmerman.
Esq , as his attorney and brought suit in
'Squire Breckenridge's court a day or two
ago to recover hi precipitated wad. The
action was civil. In its nature, although the
conduct of Jack Zimmerman toward tht
reiHirters was anything but that Seewaln
sued Edward Sullivan to recover 5300 and
AI.Fh.Ler for 5125.
The case came up for hearing this morn
ing before Jutice Breckenrldgc Sullivan
was represented by E. S. Wallace, esq., and
Fisher by J. K. Mower. eq. Sullivan
made affidavit for a continuance of 30 days
on the grounds of the absence of a material
witness and the continuance was granted.
Fisher demanded a jury trial and a jury
w as accordingly struck as follows: Robert
C. Itemsbrrg, Thomas Dugan, J. D. Lan
kenau. Win. Swope, A. L. Bice and Loin
Brow n. The case wdl be heard Wednesday
morning.
Young Seewald has gone yet further ti
recover his boodle and to have legal re
venge on the poker coyotes that pulled hl-
leg. This morning he filed state affidavit
against eight of the gamblers who are
alleged to have been la the game that did
him up so thoroughly. They are Al. Fisher.

Waiiixotox, Dec 17. When a south
ern member of congress called upon Presl
dent Cleveland the other day and talked
about the work of the session, the man at
the White house said something like thi:
"I hope you people up there will do some
thing vv ltli finance and the customs laws be
fore you adjourn. These are matters In
which the country is greatly interested, and
it ou dou't take some action I'm afraid 1
will have to call your attention to the sub
ject again, and in a more impressive way
than 1 did in my message."
The member is puzzled to understand
what the preident meant, !ut is of the Im
pression that it was an extra session of con
gress. He say c, however, that the presi
dent may have intended to convey tiie idea
that he would be more pronounced in his
message to congress when it convenes in
December ne.t Since the utterance of
the president tills member has been feeling
the pulse of the house, and says ttiat the
president will have to do his worst, as tiiere
is no earthly chance of changing the tariff
at this session or in any way modifing the
silver coinage act

Von der Ahe replied that It was third

the air.
"All right" said Von der Ahe. "and I

A forfeit of S250 a side was placed in the
