POWDERLY HIS OWN SUCCESSOR Boston, Oct. 14.—Tho first annual meeting of the Vessel Owners and Captains' National qssociatioB, which was organized to fl* uniform freight rates, etc., in the coastwise trade, is in session here. The board of commissioners reported that the membership now consists of 1,000 vessels, averaging 55a tons each, and with an aggregate coal carrying capacity of 558,000 tons. Since the first list of membership was issued 58 vessels have been lost and 7 withdrawn, and since June 1, 1885, 110 vessels, averaging 580 tons each, with a carrying capacity of 63,183 tons, have been added. Ofltoers Kleoted. Chicago, Oct 14.—The great strike at tha stock yards is evidently no nearer a settlement than it wa» the day after it wae begun. The reason for this is traceable to but one wuree, the reluctance of the packers or a majority of them to treat with Messrs. Butler and Barry, who were sent here by the Richmond convention of the Knights of Labor to bring about an amicable adjustment of the differences between the packers and the strikers. The packers say they have no organization, anil ffe only acting in concert in this emergency because they have a mutual interest in the result Consequently they bave held n* meetings, and neither Mr. Barry nor Mr. Butler has been able to see Vnore than a single individual at a time. It was given out that the packers would hold a meeting in the board of'trade, and would receive the Knights of Labor committee with a view to ending the strike, but the meeting was not held, although the representatives of the striken Were oti hand at the appointed hour. Rather discouraged at their lack of success, they returned to the stock yards, and subsequently Mr. Barry had an interview with Mr. Marshall, of the Chicago Packing and Provision company. After this interview Mr. Barry said: We have nbt accomplished anything as yet, as we have not been able to get the packers together for a conference. I haven't any doubt that the strike will be ended amicably, and that the men will return to work just as soon as we can make known to all the packers their demands. The gentlemen I have seen so far have all taken kindly to them, and have almost promised me their assistance in the matter. The men want eight hours a day, whether they get eight or ten hours' pay or not, and they are willing to work as many ex£ra hours a* desired. In brief, they want the eight hour day to be an established thing. They have found It a most desirable change from ten hours, and do not wish to return to the old system. FOR TWO YEARS MORE.

Kncounter In the Capitol Building* cah *»n. Brooklyn, Oct. 14.—The trial of Pastor Benjamin Staunton of the Fort Greene church, before the Brooklyn Presbytery, for ■uBiiniaterial conduct, was brought to a close yesterday. Two charges were embraced in the specifications. One was that he-had choked his wife to such a degree as to leave the dents of his fingers on her throat and to endanger her life. The other was that he harbored Mrs. Mary Eliia Laidler in his house contrary to his wife's wishes, and bestowed such attentions on her as to render his wife unhappy and to arouse her suspicions. When the Presbytery reassembled yesterday the Rev. N. W. Wells summed up for the prosecution. Mr. Staunton's explanations, he maintained, were not borne out by .the facts or probabilities, while it was evident that his poor little crushed and deserted wife, after shielding him for many years, had at last, in her own defense, come forward and told the truth. Richmond, Oct. 14.—The re-election of General Master Workman Powderly and General Worthy Foreman Griffiths was followed by the election of other officers as follows:Pittsbubg, Oct 14.—Intense excitement was caused in this and Alleghany City by the announcement that the remains of a woman, In a nude condition, had been found In a box at the Allegheny City garbage dump. The evening papers gave much space to the. "ghastly find," sll-glng that marks on the box Indicated 11a recent arrival in New York by a Pacific Mail steamer, and that it had been forwarded to this city by the Adams Express company. In rolling over the side ot the dump the box was broken, and the remains rolled out into the water. The body was that of a medium steed person, and was evidently that of woman. The hair was dark and long, the flesh was dry and clung tight to the bones, with the appearance of having undergone a special preparation for shipment The head was twisted to one side, the right arm was torn from the socket, the legs also being torn from the body, apparently by violence, for the purpose of crowding the body into the box. Detectives were summoned and the remains were carefully restored to the heavy oak box and hauled to the Allegheny police station and the coroner notified to hold an inquest An effort was then made to find the colored ash hauler, who had deposited the box at the river. Late yesterday afternoon he was apprehended, and created the utmost consternation by the statement that he had taken the bo* from the ash vault of the Pittsburg female college. Thither the detectives rushed with all possible speed, and excitedly summoned Rev. Dr. L C. Pershing, ex-president of the college. To the reverend gentleman the detectives unfolded the details of the terrible find, how it had been traced to that Institution, and demanded an explanation. Dr. Pershing was speechless, and it was only by the greatest effort that ha could control himself sufficiently to exclaim: "Mummy." Light began to dawn on the minds of the detectives, as soon as their mirth could be controlled an explanation followed. Several years ago a missionary friend of the doctor's had sent him a fine specimen of a female mummy from Peru, in South America, to be placed in the College museum. It had been on exhibition for a long time, and had been removed to the cellar while the museum was being repaired; while in the cellar rats had so defaced H that it could not again be placed on exhibition, and it had been ordered removed. The "ghastly find," which created so much excitement, is supposed to be 3,000 years old. The office of secretary-treasury was divided and Charles H. Litchman, of Marblehead, Mass., was elected secretary by a large majority. Frederick Turner, at present secretary-treasurer, was then elected treasurer. There were other candidates, but the votes they received in the convention were quite insignificant. The election was conducted by ballot. This, with the speeches, occupied the entire afternoon. There were the usual acknowledgments by the four officers elected during the day. The only officers yet to be elected are the secretary of the insurance department and seven members of the executive board. These will be chosen to-day. The work of revising the constitution is practically completed. The questions laid before the convention and not acted upon at the time of adjournment will be referred back to the local assemblies. There are a great many subjects to be disposed of yet, although Mr. Powderly, upon being asked by the United Press correspondent when, in his opinion, the convention would finally. adjourn, said: "On Saturday morning, most likely." Other officers expressed the same opinion, the desire now being to give the delegates opportunity to be on the road to their homes before Sunday. Generally the delegates are very well pleased with the result of the work so far, but there are some greatly displeased, and who freely give vent to their feelings. The following recommendations are among those made: That tlio commissioners be authorized to employ counsel to represent members in cases of freight and demurrage of expense; that earnest and vigorous efforts be put forth to secure the abolition of compulsory pilotage; that any town or city interested in coastwise shipping be entitled to one member on the executive committee; that all vessels of 400 tons' carrying capacity or less have the option of discharging 100 tons per day instead of 150 tons, as required by the association bill of lading; that the annual dues be increased from two to Ave cents per net registration. HXNRY L. 8AYI.ES. raigned yesterday in court and succeeded in pledging (40,000 worth of security that they wonkl not emigrate to Canada or any other foreign port to evade trial when they were wanted. A committee to prepare an order 6f business was appointed, and while it was at work the following officers were elected: President, Charles Lawrence, of Philadelphia; vicepresidents, Guy C. Boss, of Bath, C. P. Lowell, of Boston; secretary, F. P. Litchfield, of New York; treasurer, J. A. Van Brant, of Now York; commissioners of coasting trade (to serve two years from May 1,1887), Charles A. Pot tit, of Philadelphia, Henry Sutton, of New Haven, Henry Lord, of Bangor, Thomas W. Bartlett, of New York, 8. M. Thomas, of Taunton. At the close of Mr. Well*' address the presbytery deliberated with closed doors. The private session lasted nearly three hours, during which time each of the fifteen ministers and six elders, composing the ecclesiastical jury, consumed more or less time In explaining his rote. The Rev. Dr. Spear favored the accused pastor. It was his opinion that Mrs. Staunton's acts and bearing on the witness stand were indicative of hysteria. The Rev. Dr. Talmage also spoke for more than half an hour on the same side. He pronounced the prosecution a burlesque of justice. The Rev. Dr. Chamberlain and the Rev. C. C. Hall were the principal speakers against the pastor. The vote stood thus: For sustaining the charges—The Rev. Messrs. Chamberlain, Hale, Vollmer, Parker, Buler, Conrad, Calkins, Wood, and aiders McCarroll, Lounsberry, Fish, McDougall, Cook—13. To sustain the charges in part—The Rev. Messrs. Crane and Howe—2. William H. Miller alone remain* in the tombs, being unable to raise enough security. RETALIATING AQAIN8T SPAIN. The Reciprocal Order on Duties Revoked by the President. Washington, Oct 14.—The president has issued a proclamation revoking President Arthur's proclamation of Feb, 14, 1884, which suspended the collection of discriminating customs levied in the United States on goods brought under the Spanish flag from Porto Rico and Cuba. DEATH IN SABINE BAY. Results of Monday Ntfht'i Storm on the At the stock yards everything is quiet. Cragin St Co., one of the packing firms that stopped when the strike began, has resumed work on the eight hour system. Tflui CouL President Cleveland in hi* proclamation, in stating his reasons for this action, says: "Proof is given to me that complete suppression of the differential flag duty in respect to vessels of the United States and their cargoes entering the porta of Cuba and Porto RicO has not, in fact, been secured; but that notwithstanding the agreement dated at Madrid, Feb. 13, 1884, and in contravention thereof, higher and discriminating duties continued to be imposed and levied in those ports upon certain produce, manufactures or merchandise imported into them from the United States or from any foreign country in vessels of the United States than is imposed and levied on like produce, manufactures or merchandise carried to them in Spanish vessels. The revocar tion of President Arthur's proclamation is to take effect on and after Oct 35. "Mr. Powderly does not seem to take so much interest in the subsequent proceedings ahe did in the preliminary," said a delegate. "I observed that he was about his hotel niu h and that he is not as active as he was before he was re-elected. He should not have been nervous about his re-election," continued the delegate, "for that was a foregone conclusion. The opposition to him was nominal." "Was there much scramble for other offlcesf' was asked. "I never saw the like of it," ijos the reply. "During the past thirty years I have attended a great many political and other conventions, elections and caucuses, but I never saw more wirepulling than I have seen here. There was a good lot of coat hauling, buttonholing and electioneering, and not a little feeling has arisen over it all. For my part I think it was very wise to extend the tenure of office to two years. The Offices would destroy our organization in a short time if we had annual elections. You see we labor at a greater disadvantage than political parties on account of patronage, as wo have a smallerfper cent of it in proportion to ntembership and a greater per cent, of ambitious men." New Orleans, Oct 14.—The storm of Monday did great damage to the jetties at the mouth of the river. The gale swept the water over the east protection wall with such violence as to force out a number of the concrete blocks of which the wall is composed. These blocks are eight by fifteen feet The water swept through the village of Badsport, on the narrow strip of land formed by the Jetties, and washed away the mechanical shops. The extent of the loss cannot be stated until a survey is made. FOR BORROWING SALT Am American Fishing Vessel Is Htd« Up and Fined. Haujwlx, N. a, Oct 14.—The Grimes having paid the D400 fine with $8 added for the additional expense connected with hauling down the Stars and Stripes has been released, and sailed from Shelburne. The next case to excite American interest will be that of the Gloucester steamer Moro Castle, recently seized at Port Hawksbury, and now held (or $1,600 fines (or violating customs regulations. As soon as the fine is paid the vessel will probably be rearrested on other charges of violating the fishery treat?. The owners deny all the charges and refuse to pay the fines. Steps will likely be taken replevin the vessel and thus compel the Canadian officials to prove the charges Against sustaining the charges—The Rev. Messrs. Spear, Talmage, Leggett, Stevenson, Dickinson, and Elder Watt—ft. Mr. Staunton and his counsel, the Rev. Dr. Carpenter and the Rev. Mr. Hageman, received the denouncement of the verdict with expressions of surprise. Dr. Carpenter hurried into the church to make a protest against the manner in which the trial had been conducted, but be found that the presbytery had already adjourned. He would cany the case, he said, to the general synod. Mr. Staunton said: A dispatch to The Times-Democrat from Orange, Tex., says that the storm did great damage at Sabine Pass. The Porter hotel, which contained a large number of guests, was swept away, and a boat containing, a number of people was overturned in the bay and all on board were drowned. Eight lives are known to be lost, and it Is feared that the worst has not been learned. A schooner picked up three men in the bay in an exhausted condition. A relief boat has gone from Orange with provisions and clothing for thp destitute. A WEEPING JANITOR. "I am not by any means crashed by this action of the presbytery, and, whatever be the *"*1' result of this case, I do not believe that I have preached my last sermon. There is such a thing as an independent church. I have been greatly disappointed at the outcome of the trial, but my heart is in the right place and it still beats regularly." The presbytery will meet again this afternoon and formally announce the expulsion of Mr. Staunton from the body and declare the pulpit of Fort Greene church vacant A PRIEST ON A 8PREE n muss of the Famous Trial at Bfllri- dere. W. J* {Against the Moro Castle in a public investigation. The vessel is owned by Capt Loring Nauss, of Gloucester, who is a Nova Scotian. His brother is a fisherman, hailing from Lurenburg, N. B., and it is upon him that the Canadians rely to convict the Moro Castle of violating the fishery treaty. One of the charges against the Moro Castle is for obtaining supplies within the three-mile limit It appears that a year ago Capt Nauss, of the Moro Castle, borrowed some salt and barrels from his brother. This year the latter, in his Canadian vessel, the Scylla, met the Moro Castle in the North bay and the borrowed salt, etc., were returned. Gets Into Trouble at the Hub—Admits Aktueri, N.

He Is Suspended, At Orange the Catholic church was blown down and considerable other damags was done. Boston, Oct 14.—Rev. Lawrence W. Murphy, of Cleveland, a Catholic priest, was arrested here for the larceny of a IS coat He acknowledged having been on an extended spree and that a woman's sack found in his possession had been taken by him out of revenge from a strange woman with whom he had stopped at the Boston hotel and who had tri&l to beat him out of $10. Father Murphy said he had been suspended by the archbishop, but did not state on what ground. He had letters from priests in Buffalo. Two weeks ago he jumped a two-weeks' board bill oC 160 at the Quincy He is suppoeed to be the who has been victimizing Catholics here by selling hospital tickets and pocketing the money. Yesterday the color line and religious problems which confront the Knights of Labor organization assumed a pugilistic form, and resulted in a terrific encounter between two of the state's employes. One was an Anti- Catholic, who recently 'left the Knights of Labor, and the other man a devout member of the Catholic church. The former said he departed from the organization because colored men are admitted to it and that he would not suffer a practice which made it possible for a negro to blackball a white man; also that of the six secret orders he belonged to thore was the greatest socrecy about the Knights of Labor, and he could not see how a Catholic could belong to it, although it seemed that there was a large majority of the Knights of Labor who were Catholics. He concluded his declamation by roundly denouncing both the Catholic church and the negro element in the order now in session here. The fight was a bloody one, demonstrating the earnestness of the two factions. Many Suspects In Prison. London, Oct 14.—The Odessa papers report numerous arrests of Nihilists in Southern Russia.

Buffalo, Oct. 14.—An attack in a morning paper in this city on the appointment of James A. Hanlon, of Medina, as collector of internal revenue for the Twenty-eighth district, with headquarten at Buffalo, charges that the petition asking for his appointment was bogus, and that many of the names attached thereto were not authorised. There has been a feeling that this appointment should hare been given to a Buffalo man, and a consequent grievance over the selection of an outsider. In order to obtain a correct statement of the methods adopted to secure the appointment a United Press reporter visited Medina, and in reply to leading questions Mr. Hanlon said: "There was no petition circulated. I was indorsed for the office by personal letters from gentlemen whose support I requested. 1 made the reservation that if the appointment was not to be given to a Buffalo man, then I wished to be considered a candidate, and with this understanding these gentlemen indorsed my application. Among others who aided me were the late Samuel J. Tlldeo, who took an active interest in the matter before his death; Hon. John Bigelow, Governor Hill, Comptroller Chapin, and in fact all the state's officers. Secretary u.nning also assursd me of fidelity to my cause, and every leading Democrat in Monroe county asked for my appointment, and I feel very much gratified at the result This talk about bogus petitions is discourteous, besides being untrue, but I do not believe that any genuine Democrats or business men in Buffalo are talking that way."

He was removed from the position of co-trustee with E. Calvin Williams in the matter of an estate for having misappropriated $28,000. Mr. Veasey is also cited by the supreme bench to show cause why his name should not be stricken from the roll of attorneys of the court, on account of the above discrepancy and proceedings in connection therewith. *• charred With Grave Robbery. 4 A member of the exeoutive board stated to a United Press correspondent last night that one-third of the delegates would leave the city to-day, and that it is probable the convention will be without a quorum if it does not adjourn Saturday.

Chicago, Oct 14.—Freeman Fearnley, the president of the "Fearnley Refrigerator Line," has been missing several days, and it is alleged that he is indebted to various railroad corporations here in the sum of $15,000 or $20,000. Fearnley has been operating refrigerator cars over the Illinois Central, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Cairo, Vincennes and Chicago and other roads for some time, but of late has done scarcely any business, as most of the companies had ruled him off their roads on account of his slow settlements. His property here has been attached. Philadelphia, Oct 14.—The superintendent of the mint reports that the demand for small coin is so great that though the presses are kopt running night and day it is impossible to keep pace with the orders that come from all parts of the country. Chicago, Oct 14.—In the Episcopal con veotlon the standing committee on the prayer book reported that they had oonsidertd the motion respecting the change of the date of Thanksgiving day to an earlier date, but they thought the deep attachment which clung to the preaent data would make the change undesirable, and therefore reported adversely. A lengthy discussion arose out of the special order of the day—the resolution offered by Chancellor Judd abolishing the name "Protestant Episcopal," and the resolution of Bev. Dr. Adonis substituting that of "American Catholic." The Judd resolution proposes that the name "Protestant Episcopal" be expunged from the present designation of the church in her laws and formularies, and the designation left simply "thu Church." It was agreed to first take 1:0 the Judd resolution, and until the noon recess it was discussed. The afternoon session was devoted to the consideration of the question of elevating Rev.
