Hot Set-to Between an Attorney and

MILWAUKEE, March 2.-Judge Jenkins
this forenoon listened to the arguments
on the application of Chief Arthur, Chief
Sargent and the chiefs of other railway
mems unions for the modification of the
Jenkins order forbidding Northern Pa
cific employees from striking. The court
room was crowded with labor people and
their friends. During the argument At
torney harper, for the men, had hot
set-to with the court.
Judge Jenkins broke in on him at one
time and asked what he meant by the
term "striking."
Harper replied: SIT is simply quitting
work"
"No, sir" said the Judge.
'"rhen, what is striker" retorted
Harper.
''It is quitting work for the purpose of
enforcing certain conditions" replied the
Judge.
Harper could not agree with the Judge
and did not seem to be very much awed
by the dignity of the court, which usu-
ally keeps even the greatest attorneys
very careful and courteous. "But / am
not done with you." shouted Harper.
shaking his fist at the Judge. 'I will
gives the men the very rights which you
have enjoined them from exercising"
Harper then resumed his argument.
Attorney Quares followed in an argu-
ment on the application of the Federal
law to the point at issue. Under the
natural construction of the language of
the order the restrictions are very broad.
The order restrainS men from striking
from any and all causes, present and
future, and it would not even let the
chiefs of the railroad orders confer with
the men.
"Will yon please point out the clause
which prohibits them from SO comforting
with the men ?" asked Judge Jenkins,
who exhibited an unusual amount of feel
ing throughout the argument, and was
frequently vehement in his remarks.
Quarles then gave his definition of
strike, and gave several references to sus-
tain the definition.
The Judge said it was not the intention
to prevent men from quitting-that was
their legal right, and if they wanted to
they could stop work singly or in body,
and go TO Texas il they wished.
That's all we want" shouted a man
from the rear of the courtroom.
The arguments lasted all day, and will
be resumed tomorrow.

Special TO the RECORD-UNIoN.
CHARLESTON (W. Va.), March 2. -
Martial law has been declared at Eagle.
At noon Governor McCorkle received
dispatch from Major Banks. in command
of the three companies still there, who
asked that other troops be sent to Powell
ton, five miles from Eagle, to protect the
working miners from the threatened at
tack by the strikers.
The Governor replied that he would
not send troops unless certain the Sher-
ifs posse could not maintain order.
The Governor has three companies of
militia ready to march at short notice,
and declares he is determined to use
cry effort to maintain order.
1t is suspected the threatend attack on
Powellton is a ruse to draw off the troops
so as to attack Wyatt's men in the Eagle.
The strikers outnumbered the troops
and are armed with Winchesters. while
the troops have only the old army guns.
The Governor later issued orders to
Major Banks to give the Sheriff such
military aid as he may need at Powell
ton. The latest advices from Powellton
are far from reassuring.
1D0 Governor mas COncluQeQ 10 leave
the troops in camp for some time. Bands
of strikers are moving around, and an
outbreak is feared if the soldiers are re-
moved.
A telegram received by Governor
McCorlle since midnight from Division
superintendent j. NJ. Gill, at Coalburg,
sixteen miles above here. on the Chesa-
peake IL Ohio, states that the strikers
are congregating in large numbers swear
ing they will burn the Chesapeake &
Ohio bridge on the branch road from
Coalburg to the Acme mines. The object
in burning the bridges is to prevent coal
from being shipped from the Acme
mines. Governor McCorkle ordered
three more companies of militia to pro-
ceed at once to the scene. Sheriff Silman
summoned posse. and went on freight
train to the scene of the trouble.

CARSON (Nev.), March 1.-The Dunlap
and Miner preliminary examination was
concluded to-day. Dunlap was dis
charged, and Miner was held in S5,000
bonds. Four reputable witnesses swore
positively to both men being at Baths
ranch at the time Of the robbery. Miner
was held on the evidence of Jack Fur
long, who testified to finding a nickel
plated pistol in a cabin near Baths ranch,
alleged to belong to Miner. Other evil
dence showed that Miner never owned
such pistol. The only weapon ever
owned by him was made of blued steel.

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
MCKendree College at Lebanon, ILL.,. has
been presented with an interesting relic In
the shape Of pair of saddlebags. in which
the fs nous itinerant preacher. Peter Cart
wright, carried his Iible and hymn book
in his horseback travels in southern Illinois,
Parson Cartwright was a well-known
character in early days, and his pulpit elo-
auence Is still recalled by people who lived
in southern Illinois fifty years ago. His
elOduence swayed multitudes Of people at
the old-time camp meetings in Egypt.
When thoroughly aroused by Interruptions
and abuse the parson became a veritabc
giant in strength. He would spring upon
the bully like tiger and give him a
thras hing that was never forgotten. After
the bully was whipped the pugiiistic preach
err would suddenly change Into Minister
ing angel of mercy and dress the wounds
of his victim. He would then offer up a
devout prayer for the salvation of the
mans soul, and if he did not make con-
vert, which he usually did, he cffcc,ually

a romantic story OF Peter Car, wright is
related in connection with his early days
as n preacher. When boy in his teens
one night he stopped at country house in
southern Illinois for the night. The old
fashioned farm house was prepared for a
country dance. by the time young Cart

room had been cleared for dancing.
The pretty black-eyed daughter of the
host walked straight up to the young
stranger and asked him to lead in the
dance. The remarkable beauty and win
ming manners of the farmers daughter for
the moment mystified the youthful parson,
and he allowed himself to be led to the
center of the room. Before the set was
complete, however, the parson had time to
collect himself.
When the musicians commenced to tune
their fiddles the parson dropped upon his
knees and commenced to pray. There was
mirth at first, but before it was closed
there were tears in the eyes of those who
had at first felt inclined to laugh. The re-
suit was that the proposed dance was turn
ed into revival meeting, and many OF
those present professed religion then and
there. The farmers pretty daughter, who
chose the parsoI for her partner in the
dance that night, afterward consented to
lie his partner in the journey Of life.
