CRIMINAL LIBEL.
The Grave Charge on Which Prominent
Minister Il Held.

The Grave Charge on Whicn Troens
Minister 10 Held.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July IA
social volcano ignited yesterday In Belpre
and Cedarville, Ohio, over the arrest OF
Rev. G. K. Dawson, o minister OF the
Christian Church of that locality, on
charge of criminal libel. The charge wss
brought by Miss Laura NJ. Root, respect
able young lady of Cedarville. Dawson
was arrested this afternoon and taken be-
fore Squire Rathbone, Of Belpre. Dawson
had a. his attorney Hon. G. 7. Caldwell,
Of this city. He first tried to swear the
Magistrate off the bench by subpenaing
him a. witness, but failing in that, and
finding popular prejudice becoming dan
gerous waived examination. While hunt
ing bail Dawson was compelled to call upon
the officers to protect him from the out
ragged citizens.
The libel with which Dawson was
charged was statements made in his letters
to his son in Illinois that the young lady
was prostitute. His letters are all IN the
hands of the prosecution, together with
sffidayits and letters from a number OF
cities and towns in Illinois, Ohio, West
Virginia, and other States where Dawson
has figured in highly-sensational escspades.
The people of the towns Of Belpre and
Cedarville were ready to make short work
of the reverend scamp but for interference
of the officers. Dawson could find no one
to 20 on his bonds, and was taken to Jail at
Marietta tonight.

CHARLESTON, July IA young man
named George Goodwin, of Marietta O.,
attempted suicide last night BY taking .
dose Of morphine at the residence Of John
Littlepage, Court street. where he Is .
boarder. Some time during the night Mr..
Littlepage was disturbed by groans from
Goodwin's room, and fastening to the
place from which the noise came, he found
the young man in . dangerous condition.
Littlepage went for DR.. Fullerton, who IT.
rived as soon - possible and administered
medicine to destroy the effects Of the
poieon. It was with great difficulty that
the doctor restored him to consciousness.
From what could be learned il appears
that the young man had resided with his
parents in Marietta until his father and
mother were divorced. Each married again,
and Goodwin went to live with his father,
but step-mother did not suit him. His
father, not long since, became angry with
him and sent him away from home, giving
him fifty dollars with which to make .
start in the world. The young fellow, he
being but seventeen years old, started ont
and has been somewhat reckless in equan-
dering his money. He says that he has no
friends and that he does not want to live.
We are informed that his father is well-to-
do as regards this worlds goods.

PrrrsBURG, PA, July THE Amalga-
mated Association received official notice
this morning that the Linden Steel Com.
pany, of this city, and the Newport Iron
Company, Of Newport, Ky, had signed
the scale, and would resume operations
next week. The scale now has eighteen
signatures; including two of the largest
firms in this city. The manufacturers,
however, still assert that the lockout is
not broken, and that the majority will
stand firm, until the workmen accept the
proposed reduction.
At Singer, Nimick & Co g mill to-day,
over half of the departments were in ope
ration and in all other departments pre-
partitions were being made to resume on
Monday. Those who are members of the
Amalgamated have all agreed, or about all,
to return to work. The Knights of Labor,
it is thought. will also report for duty on
Monday. The manager was seen in the
mill this afternoon. He said:
every thing will be running on Monday.
Those of our employees as far az have been
able to learn are either at work or have
signified their intention of returning to
work as coon as we are ready for them,
Many Of the Knights Of Labor have also
returned to work and others say they will.
There will be no scarcity of men here on
Monday. For the first time in years
Singer, Nimick & Go. will have full con-
troll of their own mill. No labor organiza-
tion will be recognized or allowed to die
tate. That day is past. We will pay the
same as last year, ond will treat our men
justly and squarely as in the past"
Graf, Bennett & Co.'s mill at Kittan-
ming telegraphed down for scale this
afternoon. They say they will sign and
start up Tuesday. This mill has been idle
since the Graf, Bennett & Co: failure some
months ago.
Both the manufacturers and the ANAL
gsmsted people are looking forward to
next week. The Western Association peo-
pie say that one more firm is expected to
sign the scale and that then the lockout
will continue indefinitely between the
remaining members Of the Iron Association
and the amalgamated people. The Anal
gamated members, however, are predict
ing a big break in the ranks Of the manu-
next week.

THERE'S NO BOTTOM.

Freight Agents Make q Raid on Rates.
NEW YORK, July freight agents
thought Thursday that the very bottom
rates had been reached and many looked for
a rise. Now they think there is no bottom.
The Central Vermont's action yesterday
caused general CONSERVATION among the
freight agents on Broadway, and the worst
fears now seem to be that the general de-
moralization Of the freight business will
cause reduction in salaries unless some
thing is done to check the general declin-
ing tendency of rates.
Agents are exceedingly jealous of each
other, and spoilers" are sent out to the
various offices to make daily inquiries as
to the lowest possible rate on some certain
commodity. The Rock Island route
has been handling the bulk of the'green
fruit which leaves this city for Kan
sas City. The rate is $l03 per hundred
pounds, all rail. Yesterday the agents Of
certain line offered shipper $50 per car
load commission on his shipment, but he
refused and insisted on SIS. The agent held
firm at $50, and the fruit was shipped by
another route.
