history of Ihe reeent strike at the pack
gt houses at the Union stock yards,
when 20.000 men were thrown out of
employment is printed here this morn
tng,
When the packers decided to return
to the ten hour working day, on Oct.
14th, the workmen, supposing that they
would be backed by the Knights of
Labo, rebelled, and all went out exoept
the- beef butchers, who had a aon tract
with the firms of Armour, Swift and
Morris, requiring four days' notice
before opening hostilities
Despite this agreement, the beef
butchers of Armour & Co were ordered
out on the following Thursday, by
district master workman Butler, who
deliberately broke the existing eontraot.
T P Barry also arrived on tha scene.
He ; stated to the newspaper reporters
thai he had been instructed by Pow-
derly to settle the difficulty, and to
members of the Knights of Ltbor be
said be had simply been sent to investi
gate. At the same time Butler had
made his debut in the town of Lake
politics as the labor candidate for sheriff
of ; Uooke county. Be bad been noti
fied by master-workman Gaunt, of the
butohers assembly, of the existing
agreement, but, as has been said, he ig
nored it. The butchers of Armour St
Co; were loath to obey Butler's: order,
out be presence or iJarry, who was a
member of the general executive board
of the order, reassured them to a certain
degree. The executive board ' of the
local assembly, however, eoneluded to
get Powderly's views,, and it sent the
following telegram :
Mi. T. V. PownuxT, Richmond, Va
Has the executive board of district
No. 57, the power to repudiate the
agreement made by the executive board
of; local assembly No. 7082. one
olause of whioh reads : "One day shall
be considered sufficient time for calling
a meeting of both parties, of the first
ana second parts, and no definite action
shall be' taken inside of three days liter
such a meetinsr."
Have they the power to call out men
governed by this schedule without com
plying with this clause, that are work
isg eight bours a'day 1 '
fio this question, Mr. rowderly
vouchsafed no direct reply, but he did
send an answer to Mr. Barry, who
asked the executive board of the local
assembly the following day regarding
the existence of the agreement with the
packers. Barry investigated the matter
and found that master workman Butler
had made a mistake. Barry wanted
the butohers to return to work, but
the damage had been done. Butler made
evasive replies. Nobody was in reality
looking after the interests of the 18,500
men who had been allured into the
strike, in tne meantime tne packers
were making extensive preparations for
a long fight. Rev. P. M. Flannagin,
pastor ot St. Ann's church,' telegraphed
long statement of all the facta to
Powderly, declaring that unless the men
were ordered to return to work incal
culable injury and misery would result
Barry was immediately telegraphed to
order the men to return to work, but
did not do so until the following Sun
day. Among the violent opponents
to this order was Butler, who
told Barry that the order would cause
him. Butler, to lose two thousand yotes
at the annroaehins election. Before
leaving, Barry divested Butler and the
executive board of the district of all
power to create another strike, instruct
ing the committee to hare charge of all
matters affecting these workmen. But
ler, who. it is claimed, saw he was
making a losing political fight; succeed
ed in haying a committee of 23 with
himself as enavman appointed eon-

Miested. but on tne other band, poor I oi uaior.
THE MBTTjaVXa. -
The state board of canvassers yester
day began their work of oounting the
rote oast on the 2d inst. and completed
the Congressional figures, with the ex
ception 4f the Mitchell county returns
whiolr have - not yet been re
ceived. Supplying these missing
figures from our files, it appears that
Latham is elected in the first
district by a plurality of 2,755

over Barrett, his principal oppo
nent; Simmons is cleoted in the second
district by a plurality 2,098 over
O'Hara; MeClammy, in the third dis

Koonee; Nichols, in the fourth
by a plurality of 1,438 oyer
Graham; Brow-er in the fifth by
a plurality of 1,586 over Reid; Row

seventh by a plurality of 9,164 over
Walker : Oowles in the eighth by a
plurality of 4 672 oyer Green; and
Johnston in the ninth by a plurality of

Why has not the executive committee
called a meeting of this society 7 Many
of the members have expressed a desire
to begin work, and being willing, there is
no reason for not commencing at once. It
is almost certain the efficient director,
Dr. Kursteiner, is as lealous and ready
to work as ever, and when such excel
lent management as his can be scoured,
no time should be loat in taking ad
vantage of it. It is to be hoped, there-
re, that the executive committee will
call a meeting at once to let the society
decide whether or not it shall continue
its aspirations towards refinement and
culture, and whether or not the pursuit
of such objects is oi consequence enough

explosion of gas occurred inConyngham
shaft this morning shortly after the
miners aad laborers had entered, and it
is said that between twepty and thirty
persons were burned and Seriously in
jured. None, however, are reported to
have been killed) but little can, be learn
ed aa yet regarding the accident. The
men are still in the pit, but they will be
removed as soon as possible. The shaft
is owned and operated by the Delaware
& Hudson Company and was known to
contain considerable gas.
9.50 a m. It is now known that the
explosion occurred in a shanty at the
foot of the shaft, whioh was occupied
by a fire boss. No work was done yes
terday and consequently , there was a
larger quantity ef gas than usual in the
shaft. The men are now being re
moved from the pit and taken to their
homes or to a hospital in ambnlanoea
and wagons. It is thought that all will
recover. i
11.50 a m. Later particulars eoo
eerning the accident in the Con j ugh am
shaft show that the explosion cooured at
10 07 o'clock while the men were get
ting ready to go to work. About fifty
miners and laborers were : sitting at the
foot of the main shaft waiting for! the
inside boss when the explosion occurred,
and only three or four of them, as far as
oan be ascertained, escaped without in
jury. Most of the men : were sent to
their homes at once and as theyj are
scattered and at long distances from the
shaft, no account of the result of their
injuries can at this writing be :: ob
tained. It is known, however, that a
number, possibly ten or twelve, will
die, and that many others will be scarred
or maimed for life.
The explosion was caused by Cornelias
Boyle mine laborer, who stepped s into
a wotked - out chimber which; was
filled with gas, with a lighted lamp bpon
his hat. Boyle will die. Many mules
were killed or wounded, and the damage
to the inside workings of the shaft are
great. The fire boeses, William Evans
and William Williams: are reported
fatally burnt. Great excitement; pre

and fell into a ditch by the roadside
where he died. 8uoh an oeurrenee as this
is shameful. There is a law in this State
which prohibits cruelty to animals, and
in such cases it should be applied in

Though a recount in the second as
iembly district of Mercer county, N.
J., shows a tie between Walter, demo
crat,! and Jones, republican the former
seems to have the nine points of law in
his favor, for he is in possession of the
certificate of eleotion, issued to him
after the first count. He will cease
quently take his seat as a member of the
legislature, and can only be ousted b;
the House on a successful contest by his
opponent. Chief Justice Beasley per
emptorily refused to revoke Walter's
certificate of election. As, the House is
democratic by four or five majority, it
would seem that Mr. Waiter is pretty
safe in bis sea.

There is nows only one! ex-President
of the United States among the living,
and only two ex-Vioe-Presidents, while
the vioe-presidential chair is vacant by
death. Rutherford B Hayes is the soli
tary ex-President, and his eleotion to
the offioe is disputed by the considerate
judgment of the country The two ex-Vioe-PresidenU
are Hannibal Hamlin,
of Maine, and William A- Wheeler, of
New York. Hamlin has stood the
storms of four score winters, but is yet
in vigorous health. Wheeler is ten
vears Hamlin's junior, bflt he is utterly
broken in health, and is 4 recluse in hi
home at Malone, N Y., with little pros
pect of prolonged life. The presidential
widows are mueh mors tenacious of life
than the Presidents or Vioe-Presidents.
The country is paying yearly annuities
of 1 5000 each to the widow of President?
Tyler, the widow of President Polk,
the widow of President Grant and the
widow of President Garfield, and only
a few years ago eeased paying a like an
nuity to the widow of Abraham Lin
ooln. Mrs. Tyler was married when her
husband was Presidents and has sur
vived the Tyler reign full forty-five
years, and Mrs. Polk has survived the
Polk administration full forty-one years.
