COLUMBIA, 8. c., June 11.-Robert
Bratcher has been tried in court in Able
vile for enticing away labor under con-
tract, which is a serious offense in this
state. Some time ago a Miss Hamilton,
with her sister, brother and mother, con-
tracted to work with J. B. Ashley, Of
Shelbyyille. Although In poor circum-
stances, they were young and pretty, and
Miss Hamilton soon captiyated the heart
OF a young farmer named Bratcher.
They were welded, and he took her to
his horne. Miss Hamilton, however, was
still under another kind of contract with
Ashley, and it was unlawful for Bratcher
to take her fromthe place. The defendant
was arraigned and tried. The jury
could not be made to be hard on the
young couple, and they received q YER
dict Of not guilty for a wedding present.

THE STRIKERS RUN RIOT.
ANEW YORK HAMLET PLAsED UNDER
MARTIAL LAW.

The Voting Power of the Rioters Enables
Them to Terrify the Local oficials and
Continue Their Observation-Disclosures
ton Men in Charge.
New York, June 11.-verplanck's
Point, on the Hudson, is under martial
law. A detachment of thirty Pinkerton
der command of a captain and heuten-
ant. The cause of this state of affairs is
labor troubles. The fight is directed
against Rodermond's brick yard. In this
ont of the way hamlet, which is on the east
shore of the Hudson, in Westchester
county, there are twelve brickyards.
About 500 men are employed in the
yards when running full. Last year not
a brick was made there, owing to
troubles with union men. This year one
yard, Fishers, is being run by union men,
and ten are being worked by nom
union men, and the twelfth, belong
ing to Mr.. Richard Rodermond, is
the one at which the locked-out men
have been directing all their powers of
intimidation. Sunday one of the fifty
seven non-union men whom R%odermond
has got to work for him was assaulted in
broad daylight and very badly injured by
a mob of strikers. His skull was tract
ured. His name is Lynch. He had
wandered away from his friends. Last
Thursday there was a riot at the Point.
Three weeks ago Sunday Rodermond
himself was set upon by a crowd of
100 strikers n nearly killed. He was
kicked in he head and all over the body
after he had been knocked insensible.
He had not time to draw his revolver.
This was the climax of a series Of lawless
acts. The matter was taken before the
grand jury and thirty of the ringleaders
were indicted. Among the number
We're "Spotty" Mcclure, who is the
leader of the Union men at Verplanck,s
Point. Some were indicted for assault,
in the second degree and others for
conspiracy. They will be ar
rested. and some lively times
are anticipated. Meanwhile, Roder-
mond expects to sue Winchester county
for failing to protect his property from
mob violence inc for the injuries he
received from the hands of the men.
Another suit may develop out of the
brutal treatment Lynch received. The
local authorities at V~erplanok's Point
are pdralyZeu' Inc Young power OF the
strikers, it is alleged, intimioates the
officeholders. The Pinkerton men were
paid for by the county. Rodermond
boards them at q big double
country residence which he has rented.
The ffty-seven non-union men he
employees also live at the house, and he
keeps a hotel. The Pinkerton men guard
the brickyard and the house night and
day, as threats have been made to blow
up the house with dynamite. The ham
let of Verplanck's Point Is a river town,
having no railroad. The nearest town
is Montrose, thirty-iye miles up tie
river from New York.

ST JOSEPH, June 11.-Ex-Treasurer
Harry C. Carter has been discovered to
be about $ 5000 short in his books and
has turned over his property to his
bondsmen. AT the last election Carter,
who he'd been treasurer for two terms,
was elected city auditor. The discovery
was made In an attempt to make q
settlement. Carter claims that the
shortage was due to q mistake in making
entries. An expert bookkeeper is now
engaged in overhauling the books. The
collectors office was turned over April
10. 1t now t%ranspires that a settlement
has not been made for three years. The
general impression is that the mistake is
due to imperfect bookkeeping and that
Carter is honest.

WEATHER CROP suLLETIN.

The Weather of the Past Week Generally
Favorable to Growing Crops.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-The weekly
signal weather bulletin reports the
weather for the psst week generally
favorable for all growing crops. Reports
show improved conditions over the pre-
ceding week, although the cold weather
in the extreme northern sections has
probably retarded the growth of corn.
In the wheat regions of Mtnnesota and
Dakota the conditions were generally
favorable for the rapid growth OF all
crops. In the corr states of the Mtssis-
sippi and Missouri valleys the weather
was generally favorable, although more
rein is needed ia the southern portions
of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Missouri.
In the cotton region crops were affected
fayorably, except In South Carolina,
where cold, wet weather retarded the
growth OF the cotton plant, which is
reported small and backward. The
weather was favorable for harvesting in
southern Kansas and Texas.
