Wealth in West Virginia Woods.

John Peters and VIM. H. McClin-
toe, of Pocahontas county, took
to Ronceyerte a raft of sixty three
black walnut logs gathered on Swago
creek, in the upper Greenbrier Val
ley, which they sold at the yards of
the ST. Lawrence Company. The
logs averaged three feet in diameter
and sixteen in length, and we're esti
mated to yield about $4,000 feet Of
sawed lumber They were all sound
and of fine quality. One of the larg-
est was cut from the tree which
yielded the block exhibited at the
Centennial Exposition of 1876. in
Philadelphia, as sample Of West
Virginia cabinet woods. This firm
during the past season collected
100, 900 feet of walnut in Pocahontas
county.

B0ycOtters Arrested.

New YORK, April 27.-Thirty- four
boycotters were arrested by Inspec-
tor Byrnes' men this morning for in
terfering with the business of CAV
anaugh, Sanford " Co., the Twenty
third street tailors, whose men have
been on strike for some time. The
arrests were made ON bench warrants
issued by Recorder Smyth and were
served at $50 this morning. The
discharged men began a boycott
and hired negroes to parade in front
of the place with banners and other
wise interfered with the firm. The
members of the firm of Cavanaugh
Sanford d Co., went before the grand
jury yesterday and gave sufficient
evidence to warrant the presentment
of forty-six indictments against
members of the Custom Tailor's
Benevolent and Protective Union
The indictments charge conspiracy
and coercion-the former in conspir-
ing to ruin the business of the firm
and the latter in using force to pre-
vent others going to works

ton about rabbits butting theil
brains out, DC. In passing through
Tucker it got little bigger. Now il

late high water there, the river un.
derminded large meadow in which
were seventeen haystacks and one
hundred cattle, and carried them of
together, the meadow floating like d
raft and the cattle eating hay. Now
this is not true for two reasons
First, because there were not seven

there never were one hundred cattle

The application of the boycott has
in several instances, raised the ques-
ton as to whether this is country
in which man has the right to con
duct his business according to his
own notions. The theory that set
of discontents have any legal or moral
right to deliberately destroy the bust
ness of aperson simply because that
person does not see fit to submit to
the terms imposed on him by a"un-
ion' is certainly startling one.
But it is believed that no such the
DRY will ever find root here. In the
cases of Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Land
graf the New York bakers whose
shops were boycotted because they
refused to put the union stamp on
their bread, the popular condemna-
tion of the persecution was such that
the two women, instead of losing all
their trade, were almost overwhelmed
with profitable orders. So thorough
ly did the public set the seal of its
disapproyal on these two boycotts
that the boycotters, in addition to
discovering the folly of their course,
must have felt heartily ashamed of
their conduct.
But there has been one boycott in
New York that bids fair to get its
prime movers into serious trouble. A
short time ago several members of
the Carl Sahm Club called on the
proprietor of the Thesis Concert Sa-
loon, on East Fourteenth street, and
demanded the discharge of the lead
er of the orchestra because he was
working for smaller salary than
that prescribed by the Musical I'm
ion. Mr.. Thesis quite properly de-
clined to have his business interfered
with, and thereupon the men who
demanded the discharge began to
warn patrons to stay away. At the
end of seventeen days Mr.. Thesis,
finding his business going to
pieces, yielded by discharg-
ing his leader, though his ser
vices were in every way satisfactory.
1t seems that this should have been
satisfactory to the Union, but it was
not. No sooner was the leader dis
charged than the Carl Sahm Club
came forward with demand for
$1,000.
This was too much for Thesis, and
he caused the arrest of the men who
had made the demands on him. 1t
is thought that their offense comes
within the terms of the Conspiracy
Act. AT any rate, they have been
held in $500 bail to answer before
the Grand Jury, and in committing
them the judge denounced their CON
duct as an "unjustifable interfer-
ence with another mans business"
1t is no improbable that the prose
cution of these offenders will have
salutary effect in finally demonstrat-
ing that the boycott has not found
friendly soil in the United States.
Public sympathy goes with the la
borer in every effort toward higher
wages, but no fair minded laborer
will endorse the boycott. None but
fanatics will advocate it.
1t is certainly time for all people
to understand that our boosted free
dom involves the right of every man
to conduct his business to suit him
self, so long as he violates no law.
1t is also time for those who apply
themselves to the destruction of the
business of others to understand
that there are laws for their punish
ment.

sinners.

Charleston StarI
A few days ago Deputy U. S. Mar
shall John Van Buren,, accompanied
by George Sinnett, John Stacy, Andy
White, Buring johnson and Dan
Payne, the latter four guides, went
into Mcdowell county, this State, in
search of Whit. Day, Josh Cole and
Ed. Cooper. Day and Cole are noted
moonshiners and have been in the
business for many years, while Coop
er is young man in the business.
The search was long and arduous,
and it did not appear as though sue
cess would crown the officers efforts
until Monday last, when Day, Cole
and Cooper were overtaken and ar
rested by the officers who that night
started for home with their prisoners.
just about the time the officers
reached a point near the county line
between Mcdowell and Buchanan
counties the neighborhood looked
rather dangerous The time was 2
o'clock last Tuesday morning, and
before the officers could say "scat''
bullets were whizzing in the air, and
being in close range the shooting
became very unpleasant. As soon
as the first shot was fired Mr.. Sin
nett, as well as the other officers,
dismounted and returned the fire,
not, however, until one of the horses
owned by one of the guides was shot
dead. There were about fifteen shots
fired.
1t is believed that Mr.. Sinnett hit
one Of the parties in the brush as one
of them was heard to yell during the
shooting. The attack on the officers
was made on Mullins Ridge, at the
head of Bradshaw, near the Mellow
ell line. One of the prisoners, Jim
Staser, got away during the shooting,
but the other three were safely lodg-
ed in the Jail in this city last Satur-
day morning.
The boys in the raid say it was
about as hot fight as they have ex-
perienced for many years. The three
outlaws captured did not make an
effort to get away, but submitted
quietly. It is believed that the par
ties who did the shooting wanted to
rescue their friends.
