Mr.. r. B. Williams has failed in his
efforts to prevent the construction of the
Walnut Hills Street Railway in front OF
his residence. Day before yesterday he
obtained q temporary injunction to re-
strain the contractor, Mr.. Lewis, from
further work, and Mr.. l.. Accordingly
restrained himself, as detailed in The
STAR, by commencing work on the line
of MIR. Williams lot and leaving the
space In front OF his property confused
mass of rails, ties, etc.
Yesterday the case was to come up in
court. The Trustees of the road, how
ever, had posted themselves and had
learned that the injunction could not be
granted against Mr.. Lewis, as ne was
simply contractor and not proprietor.
so soon as Nj. Williams should learn
this he would sue out an injunction
against themselves.
They accordingly prepared themselves
for the occasion, and as soon as Mr..
Williams had disappeared from view
yesterday morning they marched their
whole force into the track In front OF MS
property and commenced the WORK OF
putting down the ties and rails.
Mr.. Williams all unconscious OF this
proceeded with his case in Court yester-
day, and was refused the injunction and
informed that he must get out an injunc-
ton against the directors of the road it
he would have the work discontinued.
Satisfied with this, he made his ar
rangements for enjoining the directors,
and turned his steps. homeWard last
evening thinking 10 serve the injunction

SAVED BY. a SPIDER.


Is q E following singular escape from death
of Noah Hopkins is relateds BY his de-
scendants, who V0nch for the iaccuracy Of the,
incident Mr.. Hopkins, over one hundred
years ago, resided in Duchess county. n. Y.
After disposing of his property he Joined tho
Susquehanna Company and went to hive in tho
farfamed W yoming valley, Pa. The Indians
from the lakes became very tronblesomet and
continued. to roam in bands through the Whfte
settlements, rayaging their stocks and DROPS.
Que night sudden aud unexpected attack
was made upon the settlement By a large band
of infuriated savages, aud the settlers fed for
their lives into the woods md mountains.-
The Indians pursued them-their war whoops
falling upon the ears of the defenseless whites
like the cries Of wild beasts inisearch Of prey.
After roaming about in the darkness for some
hours Mr.. Hopkins stumbledOver large log
that lay across his pathway and finding il
hollow crept into it. Here be laid for several
hours. The sun had risen and he was de-
batting whether lie had better continue his
march over the mountains, when he heard
the footsteps of his pursuers near by and their
snbdned but animated conversation He felt
that his doomlwas sealed and tho cold sweat
oozed from his body and brow, Weary with
their long search, the Indians sat down on the
very log IN W1tcn MT. HOPKINS " as cunceRlou,
while their eyes peered hither aud tiiither,
hoping to catch, sight of some poor Fugitive.
Mr.. Hopkins heard the bullets rattle in their
pouches, and gathered from their broken
savage tongue, intermixed with English words,
the intelligence that some Of his friends and
neighbors had been captured and slain. 1t
was moment of fearful anxiety. Some of
the Indians walked around 10 the end of the
| log, and seeing that IL was hollow stopped
down and looked in. Their companions were
called aud they all gathered around like
hounds with their gamo hOled, as If .reHdy to
shoot the moment it emerged. The Indians
seemed to be holding bref consultatiop.-
Mr.. Hopkins was just on tho point of SUR
rendering himself aud begging for mercy on
the ground of his many kind acts 10 former
times to the Indians, when his attention was
arrested by large spider, which was, bpsity
engaged weaving large and beautiful web
right over tho entrance. He threw his threads
from side 10 side with great rapidity, SO that
when the Indians camot0 look in they, too,
seemed to notice this nrial work, and aups
posed, of course, no one could be concealed
within. Soon after they disappeared. After
remaining in this crAmped retreat as long as
he could endure II ho came out and 'wsudefed
for many days in the wilderness, subsisting
on nothing but the carcass of putrid turkey,
which he found dead. His clothing torn into
shreds, his body laceratcd, he came once moro
upon the dwellings Of white men.

turned, he had caught large number-r,
