Just after they had dropped several

GERS were watching the store having
learned that heavy consignment of
opium was on its way to the city. The
men refused to make any statement.
All are well dressed and had plenty of
money. They took the arrest cody. The
police found over 400 pounds of opium
concealed in the store. All of it was
wrapped in newspapers printed at Van

be worth $4,000, and the duty would be
Si2 a pound. The Cinnamon who run
the place are named Wing, Wong and
Lee. They escaped, but the police ex-
meet to catch them.

THROUGH THE BINDING STORM.
Crew of the Schooner Benjamin B. Church
Saved in an Hour.

Bridgehampton, L. l., April S.-The
three-masted schooner Benjamin B.
Church, Captain Allen, of New Bedford,
Philadelphia to Fall River loaded with
1876 tons of soft coal, struck on the bar
directly opposite the Mecox life saving
station, at II last night. Her Coston
lights were seen by patrolman. who
Immediately answered with a signal
light and, returning to the station,
aroused the crew. The lifeboat was
quickly launched amid the heavy break
ers, and the crew pulled to the schooner.
They brought ashore the captain, mate
and all the crew, numbering seven. The
Benjamin b. Church was built at Bath,
Me-, in 1873. Her principal owner is G.
r. Kelly of New Bedford She will
prove total loss. The crew were land
ed in the life-saving station in less than
an hour, in spite of the binding snow
storm prevailing at the time.
Bath Bound Schooner Wrecked.
Hull, Mass, April 8.-The three-mast-
ed schooner Mary A. Hood, Captain f.
w. Corson, Philadelphia for Bath, Me-,
with a cargo OF iron, came ashore off
Strawberry Hill, Nantasket beach, about
sundown, and now lies broadside on
along the breakers in very bad situa-
ton. The indications are that she will
be total loss. Captain James and
crew of eight from the Point Allerton
life saving station manned boat, and as
sisted by five volunteers, worked for
hours to get through the surf. They at
last rescued the schooner's crew of six,
who are now quartered at the station.
Captain Corson left Vineyard Haven yes
terday afternoon, and struck the storm
off Highland Light. He worked his
way up the bay and was driven inside
Harding's ledge, where he dropped three
anchors, which dragged until the
vessel struck. Her heavy cargo
will tend to settle her into the sand as it
was low water when she struck.

PRICE THREE CENTS

But the officers of the company were
not content. They hired a band and
placed it in the car, and for two hours
that car rode back and forth while the
band played. Once the car halted for
five minutes in front of the Roebling
mansion and the band played America"

riotic tunes, while the plucky woman
against whom all this was directed stood

battle will be finished in the courts, The
company will win eventually, but it is
going to have a long time in winning.

The contractor will resume work on

Brownsville, Pa, April S.-Yesterday's S
terrible march through the mud and
rain seemed to have little effect on the
battalion of 2S0 men now undor Coxeys S
lead, as they started out this morning on
their long march over the magnificent
hills of southwestern Pennsylvania with
their usual good will. No services were
held, the departure being taken at 10.30s
after three rousing cheers by the army
for the people who had treated them so
kindly at Monongahela City. The march
for the most part, was over very mean
roads, and necessarily slow. No halt for
lunch was called until this afternoon,
when bread and bologna, without water,
were distributed. From that time until
after tonight, the men maintained a
steady pace. They were very tired on
their arrival at Camp Chicago here. The
town councils of Brownsville and Bridge
port. just adjoining, secured two halls in
which to quarter the men. In addition
to the regular force they have about 25
extra policemen on duty for the night.
These were the only preparations made
for the coming of the army, although it
was noisily greeted by people gathered
from towns in the surrounding country.
While supper was made ready, Coxey
and Browne drew crowd to the open
square in Bridgeport, and made the usu-
al daily speeches on the objects of the
expedition. 1t was nearly 10 before the
men were fed, so they were Immediately
sent to their quarters. Tomorrow, the
march into the mountains begins, the
army reaching Uniontown by evening
unless some trouble occurs in the dis
orderly coke regions, through portion
of which it must pass. The following
day the route leads directly to the sum
NIT of the Blue Ridge mountains, and
from that time until Saturday, rough
mountain roads will be travelled Coxey
claims to have no fear of want of provis-
ions on the way. At present, not more
than two days rations are being carried
in the commissary wagons. A telegram
from Uniontown states that supply of
food has been shipped there from Ohio,
for the Coxey forces. Since the out
