Witlrock has made a Btntomeut to the effect that he specially Bt:pulated with tho detectives that they must lift tho mortgage of hi mother's honso before ho would "turn up any of iho stolen money.'' This ho said they promised

The sensation of the (lay in the Criminal Conrt was the sentence of Wittroek, alias Jim emminna b now famous express robber, and
his accomplices, Hnight and Weaver. The appearance of the prisoners iu court was a signal for a general tip-tooins and strotching ot nooks by tho audience. The prisoners entored pleas of guilty to the charges against them of larceny from a railroad. The State recommoiided the full extent of the law, seven years, for Wittroek and Haight, and live for Weaver. While this dialogue was in progress V ittrock stood with ono hand carelessly thrust in Ins trous'Ts pocket, and as tho suggestions oi the Circuit Attorney dawned on him a look of disgust spread over his features, which he made no attempt to conceal. Weaver appeared to bo the most "chipper" of tho party, and to all questions answered l romptly "Yes, sir," (is if it was a pleasant duty which he thoroughly enjoyed. Wittroek was then seutoneed to seven years in tho penitentiary and to pay the costs of the prosecution. Haight was the next to le disposed of, and during tho ordeal he exhibited signs of a nervous collapse Ho turned pale and trenibleil, but when ordered to take a seat reeovorcd at once. Weaver took his uiedicmo without any outward sign of emotion, and his sontonco, in accordance with the. suggestion of tho Stato, was made five years. Wittroek m.iio invnni limnnrnna references to the cu
riosity displayed by tho spectators, but his sole desire was to get to tho " pen " as soon as he could. . . . . .,

Mr. Gompers is an Englishman bySirth, and is now in his thirtyseventh year. lie worked as a ciaarmaker from his fifteenth year until he was called on to give Lis time to the official conduct of his union. He has been a prominent promoter of the plan of federation, and though himself: a Knight of Labor, an opponent of amalgamation. He was twice President of the first Federation, and has long teen a prominent officer of his own mtitfvn
Whether the labor organizations should
be amalsamated into one large uoay, or should form a federation in which each
mnv retain its autonomy, is one of the sub
jects that have most seriously engaged the thnncrht of the labor leaders. The ten
dency of the trades unions lias been toward a. federation: and the tendency of the
Knights of Labor toward an amalgama
tion.
Five rears uo a looso sort of federation
was formed by several trades-unions
which maintained ils existence, but was
never atrona t-noncfh or deliniie tnon"h to
ovu-t miv im at influence. Another move
ment was begun early iu the year, by other irnrles-nninns than those which formed
thin Inrwe federation, to effect a moro in
fluential nnd deiiiiite general organization.
Thi resulted iii the recent meeting at
Columbus, (itio, of delegates from twentyenvnn national and international trades-
unions, who effected an organization which supersedes the former federation. ti.a iibw organization, under the name of
'I'i,a Am.rieim Federation of Labor,

unions, such as the Typographical l-nion, n,. L'ofinratimi of Minere and Mine La
borers, tho Cigar-makers' International Union, the Brotherhood of Carpenters and .loin rs. and the Iron-uiolders of North
America. The twenty-seven labor organi
zations already thus united claim a membershit) of about 350,000.
The double puiposo is to preserve the .niminmi of every trade organization, and
at the be rae time to djvise a way where one trade cai' come to the rescue of another. t i ni-nltlem not unlike that which the
founders ot the Federal Government had i.-, anlvB. Tie trades-unions, like the

Evans cf Pittsburgh, Pa., was a passenger on the ill-tated Baltimore & Ohio train. He occupied a berth in the forward sleeper, and was asleep at the moment of tho collision. "I did not hear the crash, " he said. "I was awakened by the jar. Our cur trembled and vibrated so that 1 thought it was careening and about to fall on its side. I raised tho blind , looked out the window, and saw we were standing still. I shouted to the other passengers that we were all right, and told them not to bo alarmed. As I looked through the window I saw tho ilames from the burning cars, and heard cries for help. I hurriedly dressed myelf, but by tbo time 1 got out tho he it was so intense that we could not get within titty feet of the smoking-car. M. S. Parks, of Washington, had sprung through the window of the smoking-car, but liis feet had been caught in the wrec't, and ho was hanging downward, lie died in a short time, and in a few minutes I Raw his skull drop off, a blaekt nod cinder. I heard no s -reams nor cries alter I got out of the sleeper.

Hastily putting on mv shoes and bat and with my overcoat in riiy band I ru -hed out. I was about the first mau to Kct out of the coach, but even when I jumped to the ground smoke and Homes were issuing from the wrecked .-ari It was the most complete wreck I over saw, and even worse than I ever imagined conld be produced by a collision. Tl e baggage-ear was crushed like an eggshell against iho tender of the pas

learning the real nature of the disease from which he is suffering, his family nnd physicians have been reticent in regard to his condition. Mr. lloach, however, now realizes fully the impossibility of recovery, and the reason for concealment no longer exists. In view of this fact, a representative of Mr. Boach's family has made the following authoritative statement of hi condition "Mr. llooch is beyond the reach of medi-

Proceeding on this basis, tho Anv.riean Federation of Labor has 1 een organized so as to give the la ger unions which enter it representation it proportion to their membeisi.ip, but so ns to give at the same time the smaller uuionsa greater advantage than could bo given by representation on the per capita ba-is. Thus iu the conventions a union with a membership of 1,000 or less is allowed to have one delegate; a union with H.tM tl meml ei-s, two delegates; a union with 10,(00 m.nibers, throe delegates, and so on, the number f delegates increasing by one as the luimbershlp is doubled. Thn Kvoeulivo Hoard of tho Federation
hns the power to ordi-r till Iho unions in tho
1 redt'iation to come io uie iiuum-mi icon of nuv one of them; but this Hoard has not i the i "u,?r to orde r a strike by the members
ot any union, or to une uuyiuiug iu uu will, nnv union's own affairs. It deals with
the unions llieim elves as units. OnoJtalf of oiicTent a month per capita is levied by all Iheyhn ous to defray tho espouses of tho
I'c duration. The Kxo -utivo Hoard has no
fuud imm"diitoly at its disposal besides Ibis, aud this is fo- mooting the expenses of its officers aud of tho publication of an official i.nu'ual. But in case of a strike by
oue union, it has the pouer, if it approve the s like, to coiniiand the treasuries of all Ihe anions for succor and def nse. "The way io i reveut t tiikes," oue loading pro

lost their lives. I was about me nrsi umu to discover Parks. His head aud shoulders were half way through a window of the wreoked smoker. Ore of his anus was free. He sonamod for help, and several of us rau toward him. The Haines were so hot that we could not reach him; besides, he was ouite a way up from tho ground. He threw out one of his cards and a wateh. I was unable, (o endure tbo sight, 'and turned a wav, feeling almost ready to faint. When I looked again he seemed to have fallen buck into the iar, and was evidently dead, although the flumes had not reached him. Later they did get him out and his I odv was badly burned. A number of men made a determined effort to bive the Arctium who was pinned down iu tho wreck of the nsine. He lived two hours, but finally fell back dead.
