THE ROCKFORD MESSIAH.
He Reassures His Followers That no ‘
the Only True Christ-
KANSAS CITY, June 2.—-Jacob Schwein-
furth, the Rockford messiah, was given a
reception yesterday, to which only a“
faithful “Vere admitted. The “Christ” sat
(in one side of the . 1’ 3T; “A: -
room along with H. (l‘ _'_ 7
his disciples, who H
sat in. silent con—
templation of the
Rockford wonder.
Silence reigned
except at stated
mtervals, When
thweinfurth
would rise from
his seat and ex—
claim, “I am the...
only true Christ.” ?,
Then several of . ‘ ,2” ‘
. the female mem- SCHWEINFURTH-
bers of the con-
gregation would rise and say, “Yes, he 1|
the only true Christ.”
This reception lasted for about tW’O
hours, but the reverend messiah did not
delsn to enlighten his believers by ad-
dressing them. Schweinfurth positively
refused to {talk to reporters, and says that
newspapers ‘are an abomination. He has
given strict orders that all members of the
press shall be excluded from his meetings.
In the afternoon Schweinfurth talked for
four hours to the faithful at the residence
of Mrs. Adams. There was a large crowd
coming and going all day, but his talk
was of such a character that it was not
necessary for the hearers to be there all
the time, as he rambled along repeating
the fact that he was the only true Christ
with variations, and making no sense.-
tional statements.
Whirled to Death.
ELIZABETH, N. J ., June 2.——Luke Riley,
aged thirty, was whirled to his death
Monday morning on the hoisting winchof
a stationary engine, used by the Central
Railroad company in hoisting the dirt out
-of the Union street excavation under the
railroad tracks. Riley was engaged «130
attend the hoisting rope, and, in the tem-
porary absence of Engineer Thomas Shan-
non, Riley started the engine and at the
same time tried to play out the rope. His
shirt sleeve got caught in the latter, and
in a ,moment his body was spinning around
the winch and was jammed between it
and the balance wheel of the engine. He.
was dead when the latter stopped. His
body presented a horrible appearance.
Part of the machinery had to be unscrewed
before it could be extricated. Riley be-
longs’to Baltimore, and boarded at Pam-
rapo.

The bearish feeling on Wall street was very
pronounced this morning. The impression is
gaining ground that Europe is not yet over its
financial difi’iculties. Several liquidations were
reported as the result of the basis settlements.
and a vaguely uneasy feeling about the future
seemed to prevail. The publication of a bear-
.ish article yesterday on Union Pacific affected
the price of that stock this morning quite no
ticeably. The general market was weak. The
opening prices were %@§4 per cent. lower, but
St. Paul and Union Pacific were the weakest.
The former, after opening down .11 at 63%,
declined to 62%. Union Pacific Opened pg

i “.A'Bitter Fight Begun to Obtain the
Minimum Wage Rate.
WORKINGMEN DETERMINED
They Take a Radical ‘Stand and Inaugu-
rate 3 Movement Against Further Pub-
.' . Iic Assistance to the Exposition
‘l‘lll Their Demands Are Granted.
TCHICAGO, June 2.~—At a. general meeting
of the five Central Labor bodies of the
city, organized labor took a radical stand
against any further move to give public
assistance to the World’s Fair so long as
their demands for afminimum rate are re
fused. Resolution upon resolution was
cast at the fair and the directors, and a
committee was appointed to continue the
fight. The bodies represented at the meet-
ing Were the Trade and Labor assembly,
the Central Labor union, the Central
council Knights of Labor and the Carpen-
ters’ council. Legal opinions were read
from C. S. Darrow and Jesse Cox on the
question as to whether the World’s Fair
directors had the right to grant a mini-
mum rate of wages.
The directors claimed that it would con-
flict with their bylaws, which required
them to let the contracts to the lowest
bidder. The opinions of both attorneys
were to the effect that the directors had
the right to grant the minimum rate; that
it did not conflict with the bylaw referred
to. The inference drawn by the labor
people from these opinions was that the
directors knew their rights all the time
and merely gave this excuse as a subtero
: fuge to escape from the minimum rate.
To Start the Crusade.
The World’s fair joint labor committee
submitted an exhaustive report covering
. all its conferences with the World’s fail
directors, together with all documents
bearing on the case. It recited the action
of the city council in its favor, the refusal
of the Builders and Traders’ exchange tc
act in conjunction with it, and the rejec-
tion of the minimum rate of wages by the
directors. The report further says that
the appropriation under which the fail
will be held makes it a public not a pri-
vate business enterprise, and continues:
“That as all lawful power—local, state,
national and international—has been in-
voked in aid of the fair, our action in strug-
gling for the recognition of union hours,
wages and labor should be ’equally exten-
sive, and the whole lawful force of union
labor should be used in securing these de~
mands; that reports of all conferences be
printed and sent to all labor bodies in the
world; that a committee from each trade
represented in the bodies present be elected
to begin the crusade for a minimum rate
of wages; that a mass meeting be called
soon to start the ball rolling; that legisla-
tive action be invoked, and that so long as
our rights are ’not rec0gnized by the di-
rictors we cannot conscientiously aid the
World’s fair.”
This report was adopted with all its rec-
ommendations.
A Conspiracy Charged.
Resolutions Were then adopted that, as i1
has come to our knowledge that a con-
spiracy has been formed between the man
agers of the World’s fair and the Chicag(
papers to prevent public knowledge of the
discontent among the working classes 0]
this city, caused by the action of the man
agers of the fair, a notice of this conspir-
acy be sent:- to the principal papers of New
York, Boston, St. Louis and other greal
cities in the United States and Europe
that notices be also sent to all labor organ-
izations, and that advertisements to this
effect be inserted in such papers as may
assert their ' independence and refuse
to be a party to this conspiracy; thal
we respectfully B'ut firmly protest againsl
any further increase in taxation f0]
World’s fair purposes, or anything con
nected therewith, and that this resolutior
be properly presented to the city council
that we protest against any portion of th(
fire department or police force being fur-
nished the World’s fair corporation at-thi
public expense, and that this resolutionbi '
brought to the attention of the mayor. E
.the' World’s fair needs special fire and
police service, let the corporation furnisl
the same at its own and not the public ex~
pense. . . .
J. W. Mackin, secretary of the joinu
labor committee, was instructed to go t(
Springfield and attempt to have incorpo-
rated in the pending appropriation bill 02
$1,000,000 in aid of the World’s fairaclausu
providing that the minimum rate of wage: ~
shall be maintained in the expenditure 0:
that money.
