DRIVEN FROM WORK.
Employees Forced to Leave an Omaha
Smelling Works by a Mob.

OMAHA, Aug. 2.-The trouble at the
Omaha and Grant Smelling Works over the
eight hours day law took on more seri-
Gus aspect to-day. The men have been
working eleven and twelve hour shifts. and
have many times agitated the question of
shifts OF eight hours each. When the eight
hour law went into effect Saturday the
company demanded the men to sign con-
tracts binding them to work the same hours
for the same pay as before. The men not
willing to do this were asked to report at
the main Office of the company. Several did
so report and were promptly discharged.
This created much dissatisfaction, and all
last night mutterings Of discomfort were
heard. a strong force of police was put on
guard at the works and trouble was averted
at that time.
AT O'clock tonight the day shift men as
semOled at a hall in ''BohemiantOwn" and
there, in Bohemia, Polish and other foreign
tongues, discussed the question. When
liquor and oratory had sufficiently aroused
the men, they marched in a body to the
works and drove the men from the fur
naces and Other parts of the building. The
police there could not do anything with the
mob.
By o'clock this morning everything was
quiet and all the men quit work and left
the place. No one was injured, though the
mob at one time threatened the reporters
with violence. The fires in the furnaces
were left to take care of themselves and
many of the cupolas will be chilled.

CHILDREN'S EYES.
They Cause the Anti-Christian
Riots in China.

The congregation of the Woodbridge Pres
byterian Church, Twentieth and Capp
streets, were given quite a treat last even
ing when Rev. DR.. W. Woodbridge preached
to them. DR.. Woodbridge is the nephew of
the founder of the church in which he
spoke, and it goes without saying that the
congregation felt he was one of them, even
ii he is a recent arrival from China, where
he has been for the past nine years. DR..
WO0dbrldge's discourse was upon the re-
cent riots in China, in which Christian mis-
si0nS there suffered at the hands of the mad

you the cause of the first uprising. In China
we are called foreigners, devils, etc. but
the very worst is 'child-stealer.' The rumor
started that we made our cures by tearing

without pastor several months and call

recently extended to Henry II. Harris, their
former pastor Mr.. Harris has been resting
under criminal charge, and owing to this
fact there was strong element in the church
opposed to his becoming their pastor. IL

:he opposing faction was bound, if possible,
TO prevent him. About 3 o'clock this morn

Guiding the sexton, they effected an entrance,
where seven auti-Harris men were found
busilv engaged mailing and boarding up the
doors and windows, while a large pacard
had been prepared announcing that the
church would he closed until September.
After long discussion the anti-Harris
party was eiectod from the building. This
forenoon, however, one of their number
swore out a warrant charging Harris
with grave criminal cffense, with a
view to preventing his appearance In the
pulpit to-day. Mr.. Harris, learning of this
action, went to the police station, where the
warrant was read to him, and he was re-
leased at once on $4,000 bail. Accompanied
by special officer, he then proceeded to tho
church, where he preached a strong ser
mon, making only an incidental allusion 10
his troubles. Altogether the situation is
decidedly interesting, and the HarriSiteS

impossible for the large iron-clads to pass
directly through the Sound into the Baltic.
Admiral Geryais found he had to take the

MEMPHIS, Aug. 2-District United States
Judge Hammond has handed down his de-
eision in the now famous case of r. NJ
KING, the Seventh Day Adventist, who was
convicted years ago of Sabbath-breakng by
plowing on Sunday. The State Supreme
Court affirmed the sentence and then the

son as counsel to argue 1t before the Fed
eral Court.
By Judge Hammond's decision the de-
fendant is remandrd back to the custody of
the Sheriff to serve out his sentence. The
decision IS based as much on the constitu-
tionality Of the Sabbath clause as upon the
fact that King was convicted under due
process of the Tennessee law, and that it is
not in the province OF the Federal Court to
review the case. Judge Hamm ond rules,
however. that if man las set Sunday
