the streets this morning, but before noon
the mystery was in part solved, as the

learned the young lady on Saturday
evening went out to the place designated
and made an attempt on her life. About
o'clock Saturday evening young lady
called at an old negro woman's house
and said she as sick and wished to stay
all night. The negro woman would not
let her, but took her to the residence of
q white family near by. The young lady
was sick and weak, but would say but
little further than that she had attempted
to commit suicide. This morning the
gentleman at whose house she was stop
ping brought note to the Young
lady's father in which she asked him
to come after her. This the father
did and the lady Is now at home resting
easily. and the parent says that in a
few days his daughter will be all right
again. The lady is not much more
than a child as she has not yet reached
her seventeenth year.

a strike was inaugurated here this
afternoon that involved about 100 hands :.
1t was of short duration, however, last
ing about two hours. A number of ar
rests were made and few knock downs
was the outcome. The circulators of
the Times Herald have been furnishing
papers to the DewsbOys at cents g
copy. The result has been that the
streets have been flooded with newsboys
every evening, and they have become
great nuisance on the streets. To-day
notice was given by Mr.. Holland, the
city circulator, that in the future the
price would be 21a cents. The boys
kicked and made threats. AS soon as
the press started to run off the second
edition OF the paper the front and back
entrances to the office were crowded with
boys, fully determined to let no boy get
out with papers. One boy started and
was promptly knocked down. For
while no more papers left the office ex-
cept by the route boys to regular
subscribers. At last one boy agreed
to go if Mr.. Holland would
help him get out to the
street. This was tried and Mr.. Holland
of the strikers, who followed him down
the street for two or three blocks. \
number of the leaders at last had to be
placed under arrest. This created quite
a scene, but the day was won and the
strikers caved. Papers began to go out,
and in a short time the old familiar cry
of Evening Times Herald'' was heard
from every street. The arrested boys
were released on their promise to appear
at to- morrow mornings court.

beer. AS the man behind tine bar turned
to draw the liquor one of the men struck
him with pair of brass knucks. Telling
him to the floor. The man arose and
