A Brute Outrages a Defenseless Girl in
jackson County-Probable Lynching.
Special Telegram to the REGISTER.
PARKERsBURG, W. VA, October Ga
story of an infamous outrage comes from
Jackson county to-day. Day before yes
terday middle aged man went to the
house of a man named Keeney who resides
about one and half miles back of fRavens-
wood. There were only two members OF
the family at home, little girl about IA
years old, and her sister who is about Is
years of age, and an imbecile. The ruffian
made insulting advances to the elder,
which were Indignantly repelled. The
brute then by force outraged the older
girl, and then made his escape to the
woods. After he left the two girls ran to the
nearest neighbOr and told him what had
happened. In a short time a crowd col
lected and started in search of the wretch,
threatening to lynch him. They failed to
find him that night, but about one O'Clock
the next day they came across q strange
man who answered the description given
them by the girls, and took him in charge.
The posse then took him to the house,
where he was recognized by the girls. By
this time several officers were present,
and they finally succeeded in calming the
mob and getting the man off to Ripley,
where they placed him in Jail. The man
is an utter stranger, and refused to give
his name. At last accounts the greatest
indignation prevailed, and it was feared
a mob would tear him from the clutches
of the law and hang him.

made demand several days ago for an in
crease of wages from S1.75 to 81 per day,
and presented several other gievances.
Among other things they asked that they
be given extra pay for all time over 10

At present they get extra only when it re-

Shaler forwarded the demands of the men
to general headquarters in New York,
promising to give the men reply to-
day. This morning the brakemen ap.
pointed committee to wait on General
Superintendent Shaler and Division Su-
perintendent O'Brien. These officials
submitted proposition to the effect that
they will agree to pay wages as high as
any road competing with the n. Y,

time to investigate themselves to ascertain
prices paid by the competing lines. If
satisfactory arrangements could not be
made each party was to select a man and
those two third, to constitute an Arbi-

be considered final; and for both to bind
themselves to abide by the decision rem
dered by that Committee. The Committee
refused to accept proposition and ordered
brakemen to quit work at noon.
The order was complied with here and
about sixty men struck. 4 dispatch from

twenty on the Niles q New Lisbon branch,

The Brooklyn seeding district has neither
such consent or charter.

No Lahirh Strike.

HAzELToN, Pa, October 6.-The cloud
of uncertainty regarding strike of miners
and laborers that has hung over the whole
Of the Lssish regicn for some days past,
was entirely dispelled when the men
in every collery in the region went to
work at one o'clock this afternoon. Noon
was the hour which was given
out that the strike would take
place, but when that hour arrived
there was not the slightest evidence to be
discovered anywhere that such thing As
a strike had ever been thought Of by the
workingmen of the district Notices were
posted at various collieries las,
evening stating that rs the price
of coal had advanced for the month oI
October, the mems wages would be ad'
vanced two per cent. This advance seems

My.,eriou. Disappearance ola Tourist.

LONDON, October 6.--One of the chief
topics of conversation in English and
American society on the continent for two
months past has been the mysterious dis
appearance Of Arthur Molyneaux Royds
during visit to the Alps SO many wild
versions of the story are aiioat that II was
with some difficulty that Mr.. Gaye, one Of
the Fellows of Oriel College, Oxford, who
proves to have been Mr.. Royds' compan-
ion on the trip, was finally traced. In an
interview with Mr.. Gaye ut his splendid
mansion in Ealing, Middlesex, the cor
respondent learned that Mr.. Boyds be-
longs 10 an ancient Lancashire family, is
quite wealthy, about 80 years of age and
muscular.
Mr.. Gay and Mr.. Royds toured together
for month in the Alpine country. Start
ing homeward they reached Basle at ) o.
clock in the evening of August 2nd, in
to start for Calias by the 800 p. m. train.
Having considerable idle time on their
hands they strolled about town, took din
ner, and then went down 10 the crowded
station platform. At 1:30 Mr.. Royds sud
denly vanished, and has not been seen
since lie could not have departed
by the train, rs Mr.. Gaye had his
ticket, the brasses for his luggage, and the
bulk of the money. The station
precincts were thoroughly searched and
the police secured the town for q trace Of
the missing man without avail. Mr.. Gaye
and other lsiends of Royds spent money
like water in endeavors to find some clue
rs TO his whereabouts. Detectives searched
the continent over, advertisements were
inserted in all the principal newspapers,
station bulletin boards, hotels and public
houses were billed with portraits Of the
missing man, and large towards were Of
fercd for any information regarding his
fate. The case curiously resembles tho
disappearance of Mr.. Arthur Nourse.
Mr.. Royds' position would have secured
him prompt assistance at the foreign office
or at any of the British consular stations.
The banks of the Rhine have been exam
ined for miles without success and every
story of his having been seen here aud
there though the land thoroughly sifted,
only TO be found groundless. The Swiss
police cling to the theory first formed, that
n woman decoyed him from the station
platform into town, where confederates
robbed and murdered him, throwing the
body into the Rhine, the swift current
carrying il many miles toward the sea be.

PARKERsBURG October 6.-The track
of the o. r. r. extension has been finished
from Pt Pleasant to Little Mill Creek,
distance of about thirty five miles. A tenn
porary structure has been erected across
Little Mill Creek and the track laying is

Meanwhile the track laying above

and 1t is believed the entire road, with the
exception, perhaps, of the Little Kanawha
bridge, will be finished within the next
forty-fve days Six new locomotives and
thirty cars have just been run on to the
extension. The first span of the Little
Kanawha bridge has been completed and
work has been commenced on the middle,
