Pmuimnu, Pa., Dee. 15.—Oeoaral Muter Workman Powdarly'a article on •Oil* work of Knighthood" will appear In Saturday1* Inn of the Journal of Unittd luttr. It eoTen four columns, and ie devoted mainly to a dieoussion of the evils resulting from ehild labor. He ipeake oat againet ehtld labor in the minee of Pennsylvania, and denonnoee the mienee of machinery in faetorlee. Then he aaye: "We base oar objection to ehild labor on higher ground than thoee whioh will enable him to idle away the precinoe momenta of hie youth. We aek him to etay away from the factory that be may work on the foundation of an edaoation that will make hie alter years of value to himself, to hie fellow man aud oountry. An ignorant man may be a good men morally, but (he enrse of ignorance will hold him down to earth While others soar to the olouds. Through a lack of eduoatton many a man beoomes the nnoonscioue tool of a scoundrel and a knave. Our most brilliant rascals are eduoated men, bnt if the poorest were ednoated as they ehould be the rascally few would have no advantage ovur the intellectually trained maaees All ohildren should have an education. It is hypocraey that prompts men to ory out againet the 'ignorant foreignera' who oorne to our shores swearing vengeanoe in the name of auarohy against the institutions of this free land. Why do thsy rail against the ignorant foreigner while raising up millions of Americans in dens est ignorance. There are men who wonld drown the miseries of the poor in the blood of the capitalistic olasses: but they do not reckon on the future or they would know that even though every capitalist was killed and every corporation wiped out of existence, if the people who survived did not know what their rights were they would still be at the mercy of the knave, the ehark and the self-seeker."

Two or three of the others are severely aoalded. Superintendent T. Walter Einbree's body was the last one recovered. It presented a ghastly appearanoe. A piece of iron or wood had struck him on the bead almost severing it. Mary Jones, the littla school girl, was walking a square away at the time of the explosion. A heavy plank struck her and crushed berskull. She was instautly killed. To-night the rnins are beiug searched. The bodies of Webb and Bradley were not found until after dark.

Kimball fired indiscriminately into the assomblag', and for a few moments the saloon where the fight was to have taken place seemed a pandemonium. Peter Reich,the saloon keeper,pulled a revolvor on Kimba!). There was an exchange of shots. Reich fell mortally wounded. Kimball took to the woods. He had been drunk early in the evening and was put out of the saloon. In revenge he fired a volley into the window, but no one was hurt and the saloon keeper treated it as a joke. The cowboy was quieted down and put to bed. It was when everything was in readiness for the prize tight that he jumped wildly into the room and began shooting right and left. rurged a 41 a rr lags Men's Suits from $3 lo $30, Hops' Suils from $2.50 lo $/0, Hoys' Overcoats from $2.00 to $/0.

Some trouble aroae about this, and Kline came back in the afternoon, shoved a revolver in Fox's face, and again demanded his money. Fox ran to the rear of the stable, where Talbot was at work, and Kline shot twice, the second bullet hitting Talbot in the neok and killing him.
