returned to the hotel, where the even.
ing was spent in lively conversation on
the spacious veranda of the Appledore,
famed by the gentle breezes of the

good NIGHTS rest, a very early start
was made for the magnificent gorge,
which is spanned by the bridge. The
scene was simply indescribable.

cave was visited. Then came the Lost
river and Whispering Well. which never

Startling Story About Strikers Placing
Explosives in the Works.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-A local paper
prints the following special from Home
stead, Pa:
"Since it has become evident that the
Carnegie Steel Company, under the pro-
lection of the National Guard, is about
to successfully operate its mills, promi-
nent members of the advisory Commit
tee have been considering ways and
means for preventing any successful
working Of the plant. One of the promi-
nent members of this committee yes
terday said:
1--WE will not under any circum-
stances permit those mills to run if
there Is any agency which may be en-
ployed to prevent it. We have already
selected men who will go into those
mills as fast as they can secure employ
mont, who are instructed and sworn to
carry out our orders in concentrating
the policy which we have agreed upon.
When we are sure there is no longer
any hope for us, our representatives in
the mills will place explosives where
they will do the most harm to machin-
cry. We have definitely determined
that these mills shall not be operated
by non-union men, and one Of the prin-
cipal ways to prevent 1t is to either con-
troll or wreck the property. I nigh
say great deal more, but under the
circumstances l have gone as far as
dare"

NEW YORK, July 27.-Chairman Will
liam F. Harrity. Of the Democratic

the members of the campaign and ex-
ecutive committees had not yet been

THE WHITE CASE.
1t in no Way Applies to the City of Roa-
nOke.

1t In no Way Applies to the City of Roa-
noke.
Appointment attorney yesterday stated
to TIMES reporter that it is now under
stood upon pretty good authority that
the case of White vs.. the city of Nor
folk was decided upon the following
statement of facts: White owned lot
one hundred and fifty feet fronting upon
narrow street and extending through
thirty feet to another street. The city
decided to widen the narrow street and
consequently proceeded to condemn
twenty five feet of Whites lot, awarding
his damages therefore at S1,375. This
left him narrow strip Of ground only
five feet wide and running along the
street for lis feet. The city council
then proceeded to assess White about
s1,sCO to pay for the paving of the
street on which his little narrow strip
abutted.
If this be true the court of appeals
could do nothing but decide the case in
Whites favor. To assess him four or
five hundred dollars more for paving
street along a strip five feet wide, than
the council awarded him for the twenty
five feet that they took from him was so
manifestly inequitable that any one
could have foretold with absolute GER
tainty what the decision OF the court
would be before the case was appealed
If this is the status Of the Norfolk case
it will affect, in no way, the validity of
the assessments made by the City Coun-,
Gil Of Roanoke to pave and sewer the
streets. =
Hon. Thos. w. Miller sometime ago
wrote to the clerk OF the supreme court
for this decision and it is understood
that the delay in receiving it is attribu-
table to the fact that the court has held
the decision for the revision Of some
minor error before placing it in the
hands of the reporter.
