rhe Thrilling Story of a Labor Foreman,

est Sections ofwest virginia-NI Mastered
Week by Blacks.
PITTsBURe, Pa, Dec. 10.-About a
i year ago an employment agency of this
lefty started Charles Stein with gang of
Z twenty five Italians for Logan county,
wv. Va, to work for Thompson Brothers,
contractors, on the Norfolk and Western
railroad. Logan county lies along the
Kentucky line, and is one of the widest
4 parts of West Virginia. The county is
sparsely settled and law is unknown.
Stein and his men got as far as Din
negstown on their trip. There they
stopped for food and to locate Thompson
Brothers. The town is on the line of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and 2Ou
colored men were camped near the town.
Stein was given something to eat, but
when he and his party tried to go Oh
they were stopped by number of the
colored men. Their opposers pulled re
volvers and told the Italians that they
would have to stop there and work or bt
shot
The foreigners had to stay. They
worked there for several days on the
railroad and got nothing for it. The
colored men guarded them while they
worked, and even while they slept they
were watched.
After week of their slavery SteiI
and a number of his companions de
cided to make an attempt to escape Al
midnight, while the guards slept they
stole away down the valley.
They were pursued by the colored mel
with bloodhounds, and only made gooC
their escape after killing the dogs and
eluding the negroes by hiding in the
mountains After several days traml
the gang reached the Kentucky line anC
got work in a mining camp among 10
of whites and blacks.
Stein was the only member of the part,
who returned to Pittsburg. The other
were scattered, he knows not where
Stein thinks that some of them wer
killed at Dinnegston. He worked hi
way back to Pittsburg by slow stages.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Dec. 1O.-The
committee of Big -Four operators is still
in session here but have concluded that
it is was not worth while to hold
further conference with Superintendent
Peck, as he positively refuses to recog-
nize the order to which they belong.
Throughout the negotiations he has
been careful TO impress upon them the
fact that he regarded them only as
employees and not as the represent atives
of the order of Railway Telegraphers
and he finally said that under no circum-
stances would the company officially
recognize the order
The committee has determined to
carry the matter to President ingalls,
and announced last night that no strike
would be ordered unless absolutely
necessary. The company, it is said,i /

was completed on August TO- 1891, the
proposed channel, 40 feet wide and 81
feet deep, having been extended farther
down the river since July /, TO Eagle
Nest landing, about q miles below Brick
Store wharf. The narrow channel thus
far made has been of great benefit TO the
existing shipping, and has considerably
facilitated expeditions and regular trans
portation, which heretofore was impos-
sible. Amount available for fiscal year

entrance to the creek has mean low
water depth of only y feet. Within the
stream the original depth was, before
improvements were begun, from 60 o

G.foot low-water channel, 40 feet wide,
from Milford, at the head Of navigation,

near the mouth which remains to be
dredged. the projected channel is com
pleted, SIT 600 having been expended up

vey Of the mouth of the creek embody-
ing new project was submitted during
the past fiscal year.
Broadleiln River. Delaware.
In its original condition the depth Of
water in the river was from three to
four feet at the numerous shoals which
impeded navigation. The depth at the
entrance was and still is from to feet
at low water.
A project for 6-foot low-water chan
mel inside the river from Milton to the
mouth and for new entrance across
I.ewes cape was submitted in 1871, at an
estimated cost of $50, Az. This estimate
was reduced in 1881 by revised project
to SOL ,450 at the close Of the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1891, $35. 900 had
been expended, and the channel inside
the river was completed. After enter
ing, vessels are now no longer detained
by the shoals at low tide and proceed
directly to their destination. Whilst
the results are Of great benefit to The
existing shipping it is not apparent tha
the latter has increased to any apprecia
bic extent Nothing was done during

About the Princes Yacht.
Land and Water says that when the
Prince of Wales summoned Mr. Watson
to Marlborough House 20 confer with
him about designing a cutter the Paince
learned that Lord Dunraven had the
first claim on the designers services.
Lord Dunraven could have blasted the
Princes commission had he been so dis
posed. 1t was thought that he would
not prove easy TO deal with, but loyalty
finally won the day.
Yachtsmen are disappointed at the
size Of the yacht for the Prince Of Wales.
The forty -footer has given a great i'm
petus TO sporting, but the princes ves-
sci will be the fastest yacht Of the year
and VIII sweep in all the prizes.
A sporting paper says regarding the
American cup, that an awkward de-
nonncement is promised should Lord
Dunraven' yacht win. Some of the New
York Yacht Club are determined TO ap-
ply for an injunction to prevent turning
the cup over.
II is hoped that Mr.. Carrolls new
American cutter will win the Victoria
Clubs gold cup, as English spartsmen
then would be little troubled about the
American cup.

every country which celebrates the
greatest of festival days being repre-

of them pure, strong, and fascinating.

tales for those who do not care for the
Christmas element, among them a true
ghost story, a brilliant society sketch,
the history of an interesting cat, and a
vivid picture of a southern protracted
meeting. Among the contributors t o

AS TO X

SENATOR CHANDLER, of New Hamp
shire, chairman of the senate committee
on immigration, has given most thor
ough and patient study to that subject,
and is unquestionably as good authority
as to what further legislation is desirable
for regulating immigration as anyone in
the country.
The committee Of which SENATOR
CHANDLER is chairman is holding a
meeting in New York to consider the
question of restricting immigration. In
an interview the senator SAID that in his
judgment the time has come to test the
sense of the American congress and the
American people. He thought the peO-
pie demand increased limitations, and
congress should find out how strong the
demand is and to what extent immigra
ton should be restricted. The spirit Of
the legislation passed by congress, said
the senator, has been to keep out bad
people only, and it is the sense Of our
citizenship that congress shall go further.
He had three prop psition to make in re-
Spouse to this demand. One was to pro-
vide that all persons admitted to this
country hereafter shall be able to read
and write, if they are Of suitable age.
The second point is the question of
means-the property qualification. An
individual coming alone might be re-
quired to have at least 800, a larger
sur if be have a wife with him, and in
case be has children a stated sun for
each child. The third and most impOr-
tant proposition Of all relates TO the sus-
pension of all immigration for a term Of
years, perhaps five. With regard to this
SENATOR CHANDLER expresses the opin-
ion that in no other way than a com
pIete suspension Of immigration can
wages be maintained at their present
Standard"

ABOUT SOME THINGS.

Because we have taken occasion to
make a few remarks about certain men,
we have been informed that we were to
have an extra sized head placed on US.
This is all right. We are not in favor
of anybody having the big head, but some
times one cannot help it. However, we
are not at all frightened. There is a
story in verse to the effect that ~ lady
who lived on the niger, went out for a
ride on O. tiger. They returned from the
ride with the lady inside and a smile on
the face of the tiger"
And it might be that the fellow who
attempts to increase the size Of this Old
Mans head will find that his ogn hat is
several sizes too small for him.
When people 90 along in their private
paths we have nothing TO say against
them. When they propose to become
public servants and petition people to
put them in a position the salary of
which the public pays-and they are to
serve the public alone, then we claim the
right to ask them to read their titles
clear. They at once become public
property, and must stand examination.
And so far as this newspaper is con.
cerned it has made arrangements TO tell
the truth-no matter if the editor gets
whipped five times a day. We are only
recording h~istory-we do not propose to
