THE BIGGEST BASS YET.-The other day
Mr. Ben Bonner, who lives short distance
below Shepherdstown, thought he would
try his luck fishing in the Potomac. He
used up the few bait he had without getting
any fish. Then he noticed big toad hop
ping about, and he determined to make use
of the fat fellow. He caught it and ran his
hook through it and started to slowly pad
die across the river, leaving the line trail
ing after the boat. Whiz IL. whir.r-r, whiz-
z, went his reel all of sudden. He grab
bed his rod and tried to pull his 6sh in, but
the bass that he had hooked wasn't to be
taken without struggle. He pulled like a
locomotive. aud he just kept Mr.. Benner in
alively state ofexcitement for half hour or
more. After the fab had exhausted all his
efforts to get away he gave up, and allowed
himself to be pulled up alongside the boat.
where he ley like baby on top of the water.
He weighed seven pounds, and it is the big
Dist bass that he's been caught in these
waters of late years.-Shepherdstown Regis

WANT MORE WAGES.
Transfers Propose to Whipsaw
Contractors by Organizing.

An open meeting of the Transfers
Assembly, K. of L., was held in Labor
hall yesterday afternoon, at which was
very fair representation of the team
SterS, both union aud non-uniOn. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
showing the non-union men that it
would be greatly to their advantage to
join the union. The!fact was brought out
that contractors would rather employ
transfers from the country than those
living in st. Paul. The reason assigned
for this was that they desired to increase
the number of men in st. Paul so as to
create more competition and so re-
duce prices. Men who go to cOntrac-
tors for job now cannot ar
range beforehand with their en-
ployers what their pay shall be, and are
compelled to take the lowest prices
going, sometimes having to work with
team of horses for $3.50 day. Several
speakers showed the advantages accru-
ing from organization. Ii all the team
sters were to unite, it was argued, they
could establish scale of prices which
contractors would have to pay. The
contractors have got to hire teamsterS,
and must give the teamSterS prices if
they cannot hire for less Strong argu-
mentS or this nature were brought to
Uedf upon t1e nOn-unlOn men. ana one
of the members of the union offered to
refund, at the end of three months, all
he had in to any man who would Join
the union if at that time he repented of
it. At the close of the meeting a num-
Der of new applications for membership
were received. and the assembly went
into executive session. From the num-
Der of applications for membership, the
Indications are that the union will be
so greatly strengthened as to insure the
enforcement of higher scale of wages.

by Miss Banon closed the musical part

erciSes of the afternoon. In his usual
happy style the reverend gentleman
showed the DelleIuS-mOfal, social and
financial-which accrue to young men

CARNATIONS. lie declared sobriety to be
the basis Of morality: called on parents,

ton of their male companions, that

Runaway on Elm SC reet.

A horse belonging to Platt 6 Thompson, decorators, ran away twice yesterday morn- ing. The first time was on Winchester avenue, when he was driven by Albert Brown. No damage was done. The next time the team was driven by George Keim, and Tom Goodwin was on the seat with him. The horse started to run from the corner of Church and Elm streets, going up Elm. All was well till in front of Battell chapel the driver tried to dodge a heavy truck, and the front wheel struck tie post. Goodwin had evidently crawled over the back of the wagon, but Keim was thrown out, and his ankle was quite severely bruised. The wsgon Eas not badly damaged,
