MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, Nh, August
19.-Great excitement prevailed in this
usually quiet resort yesterday after
noon, caused by FIRE on the premises
OF DR.. McComas, not far from the audi
torium. During the ministers insti-
tute, just after Dean Wright had ad-
dressed the meeting, and had taken his
seat in order to give his hearers an OPP
portunity toexpress their views on the
subject, Miss Jennie Smith arose to
make some remarks. While she was
talking heads began to bob up, necks
to crane, and finally those nearest the
outer edge began to dodge out.
Instantly Dean Wright arose, saying:
"a moment, Miss Jennie" and then
called out, "Good brother, will you
kindly tell US what is the matterY
The brother merely responded 7" Fire."
whereupon the entire audience imme-
diately and very unceremoniously be-
gan to disperse, not seeming TO hear the
deans request for the brothers who
were needed to 60 and those who were
not and the sisters to please remain.
Judging from the crowd on the scene 1t
would seem that everybody was needed,
even the good dean, who was upon his
arrival pressed into service at the near
est pump. BY his masterful efforts the
bucket brigade lost not a moment and
soon had the fire under control.
Aside from the Inconvenience OF the
family, who are minus woodshed, the
loss is trifling. Us, G.

The Wayne county Republicans held a

The Democrats lately nominated can

Malcolm for the former honor in a hotly
contested primary election, in which It
was said Malcolm was beaten by unfair
means. Tho latter is now a malcontent.
In tho Republican convention yester-
day Boyd Newman, prosperous farmer
and iumberman of Lavalette, received
tho nomination for sheriff by acclama-
ton. The convention did not name q
candidate for prosecuting attorney,
simply because there is not an attor-
ney OF Republican faith in the county.

snou1p rnE rlREMEN srnIKE.

''The fremen have the whole thing in
their hands," said railroad man to an
Associated Press correspondent to-day.
"1f they go out you will SEQ the greatest
strike the world ever knew. 1t will not
be confined to freight trains alone, but
passenger trains WILDE involved. When
the flrelnen go out tho engineers are
practically out too. Chief Engineer
Arthur does not believe in strikes, but
he will not allow his men to go on the
road with green fFemen. When
they strike tho roads are tied
up. They can win fight without the
aid oil the engineers or switchmen.
Tho tlremen are very we'll organized,
but they are slow to go out and really /
am doubtful about tho report that they
are going to strike. They are too well
paid. They have no grievance OF their
own. They have good PLACES which
they will be loath to throw up. You
may be suro that tho firemen will not
40 into this thing lll-advised. But
should they do so all along tho line,
look at tho result. Passengers and
freight business viii be nearly or
entirely stopped. Business houses will
suffer because goods will not be
shipped. It seems to mo that il the
firemen go out the strikers will have
the situation In their own hands"

Possession.
Coal CREEK, TENN, August 2l.-This
has been pay of quiet and expectancy.
Nothing transpired of startling signif-
cance, and but for chasing alleged clues
and IN occasional arrest by scouting
parties, there has been nothing worthy
OF note at the seat of war.
A rumor comes from perfectly relia-
bio sources, that Bud Lindsay, the
noted desperate who has killed half a
dozen men, and one Of the miners
leaders who was in favor Of lynching
General. Anderson day before yesterday,
was lynched before morning. Lindsay
is o deputy United States marshal.
Warden Cannon this afternoon ex-
pressed the opinion that the trouble
was not yet over. On the contrary, a
majority OF resident citizens say there
will be no further trouble until the
troops are withdrawn.
The body of Jake Witsen, the negro
who was shot yesterday, was brought
into town this afternoon and sent to
Clinton.
Searching parties have been securing
the mountains sides for radius of six
or eight miles and have brought in sew
eral prisoners. An important arrest
was made in the person of ]. A. Sim
mons, who is known to be an instigator
and bad man.
Everything is quiet at p. IN.
IATER-1IHDsAY NOT IYNouED.
Tonight about ten o'clock a party Of
citizens, through strategy, secured the
notorious agitator Bud Lindsay, who
has been prisoner here for
the past two days, from the guards and
conducted him up the valley. towards
Briceville, q few miles south Of this
place, for the purpose Of lynching him.
They were fully determined and
would undoubtedly have carried out
their plan but for the pitiable pleaaings
OF Lindsay and his solemn promises to
90 with the, troops and point every
man in the mountains out: :w+Ie was i'm
plicated in the miners trouble. His
life was spared on this condition. He
was taken back to Coal Creek and will
be used to identify miners.
