STONES FLY.
But the Presence of the Police Pre-
vents Serious Trouble.

PIrTsBURe, Pa, Feb. 6.-When the hour
arrived for the non-union workmen at the
Solar Iron Works to quit work this after
noon, large crowd Of strikers and. their
friends gathered in the vicinity of the mill.
A few minutes after four. 80 negroes under
protection of squad OF % policemen, made
their appearance. They were greeted with
cries OF ''black sheep" and 'scabs," but no
attention was paid to the angry crowd. The
procession storted down the main street fol-
lowed by a mob which steadily increased un-
I'll for square the street was black with
people. At the corner of 33d street stones
commenced to fly and it began to look dan
gerous, but the officers promptly turned on
the crowd and drove them back, after which
they escorted the c0lored men home. Three
trips were necessary to get all the men from
the mill and the same scenes were repeated
each time. A number of persons, including
non-unionistS and On-l0okers, were slightly
injured by stones and missiles. No one was
seriously hurt.

is PERKINS INSANE?
An Affray In Athens Which Has
Caused Much Excitement.

SKowHEGAN, Feb 6-About three weeks
ago, there was bloody row between Fred
Perkins and Israel Leavitt of Athens. The
affair was casually mentioned in the news
papers of that date, but did not attract any
considerable attention. Immediately after
it occurred, warrant was issued for Per-
kins' arrest but it was not served until last
Thursday, and the trial was appointed for
Saturday, Feb. 4th. Perkins, who is q man
of some property, secured the Waltons to de-
fend him, while ]. f. Holman, Esq, of
Athens, appeared for the State.
The arrest of Perkins created great deal
of excitement in Athens, and on Saturday
the little Office of Squire Holman was crowd
ed to suffOcation with eager listeners until
the door had to be closed to keep out those
struggling to get in. Justice KinSman presi-
ded. Perkins pleaded not guilty to the
charge. The testimony was listened to with
breathless attention.
From the testimony for the State it appear
ed that Perkins had demanded of Leavitt
fifty cents in payment for work in haying
twelve years ago. Leavitt said that he owed
Perkins nothing. After an alteration,
Perkins drew revolver and attempted to
shoot the other man. The pistol missed fire
and while the assailant was apparently try
ing to draw the hammer back. Leayitt stab
bed him in the neck, using knife with
which he had been whiting. The blade
struck against Perkins collar bone and broke
off. Perkins then jumped into his team
and drove away
The defence put in no evidence, but sim
ply asked that the bonds be made as light as
possible. The judge placed them at $500, in
defanlt of which, Perkins was committed
Vt appeared at the trial that some citizens
of Athens say that Perkins is insane. About
year ago be though that he was called to
preach. He tried to get the hall, claiming
that 10000 people would come to hear him.
He went down to Skowhegan and attempted
to preach to a crowd in the public square.
Some of the people, however, do not think
that he is insane. They say he is odd, but
perfectly harmless.

General Freight Agent Tolman, Of the
Portland & Ogdensburg, has completed ar
rangements by which through freight from
Minneapolis and the West will be shipped
over the new 800" route by the Sault,
Ste. Marie, thence over the Canadian Pacific
st. Johnsbury and Lake ChaEplain and
Portland & Ogdensburg to Portland. Ar
rangements have been perfected for billing
both to Portland and Lewiston.
The 800" route is so called from the fact
that it runs across Lake Superior at Sault

The building of this bridge is regarded as a
great factor 1t the development of the re-
sources of the West and the increase of the
facilities of transportation to the seaboard

BATH, Feb. GA clear stretch of water
extended from the Bath shore nearly to the
ferry slip at Woolwich this morning, and the

Operations against the ice were begun

along the last of the week, shaking the
buildings along the water front, and occa-

Dr. Gray's last year has been one of pecu-

a voyage to Europe, and in company with
Mrs. Gray made round Of visits upon old

as marvellous. On his return in October
there were no marked indications that his
useful and beautiful life was drawing to its
close. He maintained his interest in recent
questions, and engaged at once in the work
of the "FlOra." Even to the last month he
carried with him the CHEEKY manner and the
winning smile which made him welcome
guest everywhere, and at all times. He con-
tinued to answer every demand upon his
energies. His answers to the younger bOtan-
lists were as patient as ever, and all looked
for few years more Of his wise counsel 1t

crowned by the highest scientific honors and
gladdened by the renewal Of old friendships,
