THE novelist, Geo. W. Cable, sees one OF
the great factors of progress in the future
which the REFORMER has so often predicted.
He says the electric roads are ultimately
going to do as much for the country towns
as the elevator has done for the cities. 1t
must inevitably be so, especially in sections
like Vermont where limitless power is run
ming to waste in our mountain streams. This
is one of the many reasons why the Green
Mountain state has great future before her,

On last Saturday night at the resi-
dence OF Mrs. R H. Horne, about IL
O'Clock, an attempt made to burg
larlz9 her house. The family were
seated In the front room and heard a
NOISE, as If made by a cat, in the room
aqJoln1ng, and upon investigation they,
discovered a man climbing in the win
dow, with a mask on. An alarm was
gwen and the party ran, says the
Greenville Reflector.
Asheboro Courier: On last Saturday
Wh1le going from Gus Heney's where
ne was living to Children's Day exer-
clses at Pisgah, Welborn Luther met
with a tragic death near Mrs. Jane
Vuncannon's. He was riding In a
cart and the horse in going down a
slant ran away thowing him out of the
cart, breaking and bruising his back
and head. Mrs. Vuncannon and her
daughter went out where he was and
found him in a dying condition.
Maxton Scottish Chief: A sad acct
dent occurred near Blenheim last Mon
day. Craven Thompson, a lad about
fourteen years old, was standing in
front of his fathers blacksmith shop
on Mr.. Daniel Johns place, and was
leaning on his gun, the muzzle pointing
just under his right arm. The gun
was accidentally discharged, the whole
load taking effect under his arm. His
condition wasimmediateIy pronounced
hopeless and he died that afternoon.
We have not learned what caused the
discharge.
Murfreesboro Index: A shocking
affair occurred near Pendleton early
last Saturday morning in which Peter
Odom, a white man, was badly shot.
Odom says that he had started to
Potecasi to church and was walking,
When he had gotten about one mile
from home he was shot at from the
bushes but was not touched. He turned
and commenced to run. Another shot
was fired and he was hit in the small part
of the back. He fell and the man
came up in a few feet of him, when he
discovered it to be Rowland Belch, q
young white man. He begged Belch
not to shoot him again but he put
another Cartridge in Che gun and took
aim at his head but he threw up his
arm and the shot took effect in the
arm, tearing it to pieces from the elbow
to the shoulder. No one else was pres
ent and Belch made his escape.

subject, and I appreciate the depth

THEY GO TO .IAIL.
President Debs, Vice-President Howard,
Keliher and Rogers, of the American
r. r. Union Jailed in Chicago.

kellher and Rogers, OF the American
R. R. Union Jailed in Chicago.
CHICAGO, Ill, July 1.-THE reports
that additional proceedings were likely
to be taken by the Federal authorities
against President Debs and his assist
ant officers of the American Railway
Union had the effect of bringing a big
crowd to the United States Court room
morning. Judge Seamans, of Milwau-
kee, presided 10 the absepc9 Of Judge
Grosscup. D6bs was present, accom-
panied by w. W. Erwin, the noted
criminal lawyer of ST. Paul; W. N.
Shoemaker, of St. Paul, and B. S.
Gregory, of this city, who was the
leading counsel for Prendergast in the
lunacy proceedings that followed the
assassin's conviction, and has been re-
tanned as special counsel for the union.
AS o as a few minor cases had
been disposed of, Mr.. Gregory stepped
to the bar, announced the presence of
Mr.. Debs, and inquired whether the
hearing was to go on to day. Judge
Seamans replied that the case would
proceed as soon as District Attorney
Milchrist was ready. At II o'clock the
District Attorney, accompanied by
Edwin Walker, special counsel for the
government, and George r. Peck,
special counsel for the Santa Fe Road,
appeared, and Judge Seamans ordered
that the case on hearing be summary
proceeded with, remarking to MI.
Walker: 1.-THE situation is such that
your matter should be taken up at
once"
Special Counsel Walker then opened
the proceedings proper with a brief
statement. He said that he was desir-
GUS of presenting to the Court On infor-
nation against certain people on be-
half of the United States Government,
and to ask that a writ of attachment
be issued for the persons named there
in. Additional information was offered
in behalf of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Road, this road being in the
hands of United States receivers. The
information in behalf of the govern
ment, he said, set forth that on July
%, Judges Wood. and Grosscup issued
an Injunction restraining Debs and his
associates from interfering with inter
state commerce, or with the transpor-
tation of the United States mails, or
from exercising terror or violence
against railroad employees engaged in
their work. Personal service of this
Injunction was made On the defendants
Concerned, but in spite Of it they con
tinued to call out men and ordered
strikes on lines within the city of
Chicago and the district adjacent to
and within the jurisdiction Of the court.
This violation had continued daily
and it might be said hourly, and he de-
sired such action as the court might
see fit.
The lengthy information was then
read. It sets forth the facts already
stated, and quoted cores of kilograms
sent by Debs after the injunction had
been issued. These had never been
published and had evidently come into
the possession of the government with
in a few hours, under circumstances
that counsel didn explain. Some we're
addressed to Pnelan the organizer just
sentenced for contempt by Judge Taft;
others to @. McAulife at Milwaukee;
