RICHMOND, Va., October 13.—The dele
gates to the assembly of the Knights of
Labor were early afoot this morning and
unusually prompt in their attendance at
the Armory Hall, where the sessions are
held. The most important work of the
convention was began yesterday when
General Master Workman Powderly de
clared amendments to the constitution in
order, and was sustained in his decision by
the assembly despite the objections of a
few. This work of amending the consti
tution was resumed this morning and
prosecuted throughout the session.
The proposed amendment to the consti
tutionextending to two years the terms of
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 board remain
as at present. Changes in the constitu
tion require a two-thirds vote for their
adoption and calling the roll of 612 dele
gates consumed a good deal of time.
When the matter had been disposed of
the regular order of business was sus
pended, and the general assembly pro
ceeded to
THE ELECTION OF GENERAL OFFICERS.

An Active Day In Stacks,
New York, October 13.—The temper of
the stock speculation underwent a sudden
about a personal misunderstanding as to i change to-day. and there was a rush to
buy for both sides of account. The first
treat cause of this was a change of front
Aylsworth of Baltimore, John Howe of
Massachusetts. An informal ballot was
taken, in which Hayes led in the number
of votes polled, with Barry second. Some
delegates wanted to continue voting, but
a motion to adjourn until to-morrow morn
ing was put and carried.
The nomination of T. V. Powderly for
f eneral master workman was made by E.
'. Gould, of Indiana, and seconded by
Torn O’Reilly, of New York, both of
whom are telegraphers.
POWDEItLV’S PRESTIGE.
When the nomination and election of a
g eneral master were declared in order to-
ay, Mr. Powderly vacated the chair, the
general worthy foreman taking his pfcce.
Slore than 100 delegates shouted,‘‘Have
election made by acclamation.” AVhen
Mr. Griffith put tlie question, there was a
storm of ayes. When the noes were called
for there was one solitary “no.” it came
from Henry Beckmeyev, who heads the
delegation from district assembly 51, of
Nevv Jersey. This delegation wears a yel
low badge "with the motto, “Solid for Har
mony.” There was no candidate placed
in nomination in opposition to Mr. Pow
derly, and he received the votes of the 647
delegates present.
When Mr. Griffith was nominated for
re-election as general worthy foreman the
only candidate nominated in opposition
W’as R. Bennett, of Illinois. Bennett re
ceived only fifty votes and Griffith’s elec
tion was made unanimous. There will be
no election for general insurance secretary,
the office now held by Homer L. McGaw,
as the office has been abolished by the
adoption of an amendment to the consti
tution.
The K. of I.. Committee in Chicago.
Chicago, October 13.—One of the com
mittee sent by the Knights of Labor to ad
just the labor troubles in the stock yards
said to a reporter this morning that lie
had hopes of making a settlement to-day
and that the committee that lias attended
the great strike has made thousands of
friends for the knights, to whose efforts
admirable order is due. The importation
of laborers by Armour & Co. is making
some of the strikers restive, and the task
of controlling the younger element is be- i
coming more difficult. Everything this
morning was as it was yesterday. Armour’s j
beef butchers still remained at work by J
order of the knights, although they are j
restive under the fact that ears are being j
loaded by clerks and outsiders. Pinker- f
ton’s men have completed their culinary ]
apparatus and will now live entirely in j
the Washington packing house. '1 hey !

A delegate’s actions and opinions.
Delegate Barry was seen by a reporter at
noon to-day, and said the men have their
own minds set on the eight hour rule, am.
will agree to nothing else. “We made a
proposition this morning,” said lie, “to the
packers that they adopt the eight hour
rule and the men would agree to work all
over time necessary. This will be practi
cally a recognition of the eight hour
tion and will be accepted by the men. rhe
packers submitted to the proposition that
the men work and be paid by the hour
but this will not be accepted, as the men
are afraid the system will work to their
disadvantage, and if the packers desire to
do so they can give them only an hour or
two of work a day. I have proposed to
meet the packers at the board of trade this
afternoon, and should they accept the
proposition the matter will be settled im
mediately. Should they not meet me 1
will take other means to effect a settle
ment. For this thing must be fixed
quickly, as it is all nonsense for Armour to
suppose that his beef butchers will work
under the circumstances by which they
are now surrounded. If I find that things
are as I sometimes suspect they are, and
PROBATION AFTER DEATH.
Charges Against the Andover Professors brow
ing Out of Tliclr " II) iiolliesls."
Chicago, October 11.—The report pub
lished that charges of heresy had been
filed against five professors of Andov.er
Theological Seminary by the board of vis
itors of that institution is incorrect. At
the Grand Pacific this morning several
gentlemen from Massachusetts, liigli
in the councils of the church,
one of them a trustee of Andover,
characterized the dispatch as wholly .
incorrect. No charge of heresy has
been made against the professors.
The real facts were learned to be these: At
tlie founding of tlie seminary the donors
of tlie funds drew up a clear and sharp
creed. Every professor femployed is re
quired to pledge adherence to this creed
on entering on his duties, and to renew
this pledge every five years. Tlie real
complaint now before the board of visitors
accuses the five professors, who are editors
of the Andover Review, of breach of trust,
in that they are drawing salaries under
this pledge while their teachings do not
conform to it. Tlie professors are Egbert
C. Smyth, W. J. Tucker, George Harris,
Edward Y. Hindis and John Gulliver.
Three months ago a trustee and several
graduates of Andover charged the five
professors named witli breach of trust in
drawing salaries from tlie funds and not
conforming to their pledges. The board
of visitors decided that the charges ought
to lie considered and summoned the pro
fessors to appear oil October 25, to answer
and have a preliminary hearing. The pro
fessors deny the power of the visitors to
hear the complaint and there the matter
rests at present. The doctrinal point in
the controversy is whether man’s proba
tion continues after death. The “Andover
hypothesis” is that it does; that death
does not cut off his last hope of salvation.
The conservatives, the complainants
in tills case, charge that the “second pro
bation” men are trying to introduce, and
are now teaching, an entire new system of
theology. They say the Andover creed
has been violated by them in some ten or
twelve particulars. They allege that the
teachings of these professors tear all to
pieces the received Congregational doc
trines of fire, eternal punishment, the
atonement and the inspiration of tlie
Scriptures.
At the Congregational ministers’ meet
ing the subject was discussed. Nearly all
pr 'sent took sides against Prof. Smyth
and his colleagues, believing him to have
been badly beaten at the Des Moines con
vention.

IS A VOLCANO FORMING ?
Ki'liorts or Increasing Kurthipiaki' Dlslurlmnee*
ill Ninety-Six—llegnn Lust Your.
Charleston, S. C., October 11.—A local
scientist known to bo an accurate observer
was recently selected to investigate the
story .that earthquake shocks Imd been folt
at Ninety-Six,B. C., about thirty miles from
the Georgia line and a hundred from
Charleston, eighteen months past and
were increasing in frequency and vigor, a
story which the World had a couple of
weeks ago. His report confirms it. One
Influential farmer, J. McD. Kinard, living
nt tlie seat of the trouble, says he heard
tho underground noise in January, 1885.
It was then brief and dull, like
the report of a cannon fired several
miles from tho observer. All
others who were interviewed gave the
same account of tho noises, hut did not no
tice them until September of last year.
Mr. Kinard heard the noises frequently the
first day, lint did not hear them again for
several weeks. The longest period of rest
between tlie sounds, all agree, was just be
fore the Charleston earthquake. Thesound
of that movement was not similar—it was
like the roaring of a train of cars and last
ed longer than the others. The others
were (lull booms, without repetitions.
They all caused houses to shake and washes
to rattle. A party of railroad graders
camped near Mr. Kinard several months
ago were badly frightened by the noises.
For tlie two weeks before last week the
noises were heard n iglit and day, and few
persons had a single night of sound rest.
Ten reports were heard Sunday night of
last week, two of them so heavy that Dr.
T. 8. Blake, whose scientific attainments
make him a credible witness, says ho twice

New York, October 13.—The address of
the Tammany committee appointed to
tender the mayoralty nomination to Con
gressman Hewitt was made public to
night, It says: “At this moment our city
is the theatre of a movement on the part of
some of our fellow-citizens which may lend j i
to serious and deplorable results. W-
have observed with grunt regret land sc
rious disquiet this attempt to create politi
cal classes in this country. In a govern-i
mentof and by the whole people we deplore j lie
any attempt to erect a government of j
or by a part of the people. We be- |
lieve that a government by trades
unions would bo as reprehensible
and objectionable as a government by
bank presidents. lye believe in a govern
ment which is founded on tlie consent and
supported by the loyalty of rich and of
poor, learned and unlearned, capitalist
und laborer. We believe that your can
didacy will defeat the effort to create a
distinctive class in the community and re
sult in the return to the democratic party
of those who have been tempted to desert
it by dangerous and misleading advice.”
When the committee called upon Mr.

picking machine of the Mason Cotton
Harvester Company, invented by C. T.
Mason, of this place, was tested to-day in
a field in the presence of committees from
the New York Cotton Exchange and
Charleston exchanges and representatives
of the state agricultural department. The

work and can be made completely success
