Richmond, Oct. 13. The delegates to
the general assembly of Knights of
Labor were; early afloat this morning,
and unusually prompt in their attend
ance at Armory hall, where the sessions
are held.' The moat important work of
the convention was begun yesterday,
whien the general master workman de
clared the amendments to the constitu
tion in ordpr and was sustained in his
decision by the assembly , despite the ob
jection of a few. This work of amend
ing, the constitution was resumed this
morning and prosecuted throughout the
session. i
i The proposed amendment to the con
stitution,, extending to two years the
terms jof all general officers excepting
those of the members of the co-operative
board, was taken up and adopted.
The terms ! of the members of the co
operative hoard remain as at paesent.
Changes in the constitution require a
two-thirds' vote for their adoption, and
the calling of the roll of the 612 dele
gates consumed a good deal of time.
Wen that matter had been disposed of
tne regular order of business was sus-
P
enjied and the general assembly pro
leeftd to the election of general officers.
cee
General master workman Powderly and
general worthy foreman Griffith were

Si Lotus. Oot. 13 The greatest
Crime ever perpetrated in this section of
Missouri was committed at Big creek,
sixty-seven miles east of this city, last
Fridav morninir. On that morning, at
3 o'clock, Mrs. Ella Williams, bride of
Rolfe Williams, was lying asleep by the
side of her husband, when some un
known person entered the bed-room,
plaoed a pistol against her forehead and
sent a bullet through her brain. The
report of the revolver awaked Wil-
lams, but he had been ill for some time
and was unable to pursue the murderer.
Two men sleeping in an adjoining room
were also awaked and immediately
went to the room, after procuring lights.
The young bride lay motionless on the
bed, the blood streaming from her fore
head and her brains protruding from the
wound. The bullet bad entered just
above the right eye and that organ had
been foroed from its sooxet, and was
a - a I'v
hanging Dy a cord upon ner cneex.
Search was made for the murderer, but
he is still at large. No motive .can be
assigned for the deed exoept that some
disappointed former lover of the bride
took this ineanB of revenge. Mrs. Wil-
lams before her marriage was a belle of
the oounty and bore an irreproachable
character. The couple had been mar
ried two months.

that the consideration for their suspen

work all over-time necessary. This will
be practically a recognition of the eight
hour question and will be accepted by
the men. The packers submitted a prop
osition that the men work and be paid
by the hour, but this was not accepted,
as the men are afraid this j system will
work to their disadvantage and if the
paokers desire to do so th
them only an hour or two
nave proposed a mee
paokers this afternoon and
accept the proposition the matter will be
settled immediately. Should they not
meet me, I will take other means to ef
fect a settlement, for this th ng must
be fixed up quickly, as it is all nonsense
for Armour to suppose that his beef
butchers will work finder the circum
stances by which they are now sur
rounded. If I find that things are as
I sometimes suspect they are and that
tne packers are playing a waiting game,
I will take more energetic measures at
onoe aad on my' return to Richmond
shall tell the Knights there that Ar
mour's beef is not as good as it used to
be and will see how the. opinions of two
million men throughout the country will
affect his trade." i
It was learned this morning that iB
spite of the packers' statements to the
contrary, they have combined against
the eight-hour movement ' and have
gi?eu bonds of $50,000 each as a guar
anty that they, will stick to their ten
hour agreement. . i
Another instalment of : men was
brought from Milwaukee to Armour's
house this morning. This makes about

Armour s representative said that the

would be no compromise on .their part.
Armour loaded fifty ears yesterday and

Nsw Tobk, Oct. 13,1886: The gen
eral managers and general : passenger
agents of the Southern railroads held an
important meeting today at the hotel
.Brunswick. At a meeting in August,
hich was held at 01d"Point Comfort, a
new pool contract, settling its passenger
rates, was submitted, but was not acted
upon. This contract was approved and
signed at today's meeting by. the gen
eral managers. This contract forms an
association of all southern roads and set
tles the nassenger rates to be eharared bv
the members of the pool. Each road is
to be assessed its pro rata for, money to
carry on the association, according to
the mileage of each road. The
rate committee is provided for and
is made : up of the 1 general
passenger agents. The duty of this
oommittee is to see tnat no member of
the association charges less than sohed
ule rates. Any agent found guilty of
this offense will be fined (50 for the first
offence, and if he is caught a seoond
time will be dismissed from the road by
which he is employed. The ; passenger
agents will hold a special meeting and
settle upon the question of rates to be
charged from all points on the roads.
A question of great importanoe whioh
is to be discussed is the rate to be
oharged from large cities in the east,
especially New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia, to the winter resorts in Flor
ida. The traffio over the roads to points
in Florida has has more than doubled
during the last two years Some of the
agents are in favor of continuing tne
sale of round-trip tickets, while others
are disposed to fancy a cheap through
rate. The object of this! is to try and
stop the sale of tickets to these points
by sleepers.

rior court It was a learned and competent
disquisition on the law, and a crowded
oourt room attested their appreciation
by listening with rapt attention. The
most flattering encomiums and the kind-
icst expressions have been heard on all
sides, plainly demonstrating that his
honor's labors for the suppression of
crime and the betterment of society meet
a hearty response in the breasts of our
people.
Wm. H. Bower, the popular and effi
cient solicitor, represents the dignity of
the State. The criminal dooket is small,
there being only one case of importanoe,
and that is the 8tate Vs. Josiah and
George Bird, for killing D. C. Bright
last week.

S. Johnston, our model congressman,
and Msj. W. H. M alone, the
king of "flapdoodles" in this dis
trict, addressed a large audience
during the intermission of oourt. Capt.
Johnston in an hour's speech gave a
clear and lucid resume of the doctrine
of the democratic party. He showed the
people, by facts and figures, that the
administration of Grover Cleveland is
worthy of their support and confidence;
that owing to the complexion of the
Senate many salutary measures, pregnant
with relief for the people, failed to be
come laws. His allusions to Maj. Ma-
lone were dignified, humorous, pungent,
sarcastic. He refuted every point made
by his competitor, and left him abso
lutely nothing on whioh to build. His
speech was applauded to the echo, by
both republicans and democrats. Mai.
Malone is a fine lawyer, an accomplish
ed politician and a most affable gentle
man, but when pitted against loo
Johnston he is not equal to the emer
gency. The entire crowd listened at
tentively to his labored effort, and the
universal verdict is that he failed in toto
to make one point against the present
administration, or to show one instance
where Tom Johnston has been recreant
to a single trust. The republicans were
surprised at the futility of his argu
ments, and a large number of them will
vote against him. Tne democraoy ot
McDowell is solid nd will give Tom
Johnston the largest majority ever poll
ed in the county.

, A special correspondent of the Golds
boro Argus gives the following inter
esting account oi a singular suiciae:
: Mr. F. Sooville, a highly respected
citizen of Wsshinsrton. N. 0.. has com
mitted t uioide. The facts which have
been developed show the weakness of
, : r a 'ti
numan nature, nr. oooviue. was a man
of a very sensitive nature, easily exer
cised, and totally void of moral cour
age. He had by economy, energy and
attention to his business accumulated
about $10,000, which at the time of his
death was distributed among various
parties and secured by mortgages on
real estate. Two weeks ago the resi
dence of Mr Hyatt, his father-in-law,
a man of considerable means, was set
on fire. It was rumored that Sooville
was closely connected with the terrible
deed. It was extensively circulated
and it was strongly intimated that he
would be presented to the grand jury
for arson. Under this heavy weight he
felt and declared that the stigma was
more than he could bear. With him
"life was not worth livinff." He re
tired to his room at 11 o'clock, wrote a
lain, intelligent will, several private
etters to intimate friends, giving full
and explicit directions aa to the disposi
tion of his property and retired for the
night. About 8 o'clock he took his
knife, which had been previously sharp
ened, and cut the main artery in his left
arm. This not ha vug the desired ef
fect, he took a pistol from his table and
deliberately shot a ball through his
head just above the ear. He was found
soon after the pistol fired, near his bed,
bleeding profusely. He was attended
by all the physicians in the town, but
every effort to save his life was unavail
ing, and he died at 2 o'clock. There
wul be no complications about his busi
ness affairs, as everything, even of a
minute nature, was most accurately ar
ranged. This, perhaps, is the first in
stance on record where an innooent man
murdered himself on the mere rumor of
being connected with a capital offence.
