wagons of this city. The mean, cowardly
attack made upon them by Councilmen
Morgan Sweeney and Regan, from the
noted law-abiding and temperate Twelfth
and Sixth wards, should be shown up in
the papers. These wards are pretty far
away from the central city, yet these are
the men who complain that the wagons

these matters be left to the representa-

South Works Resume.

After an idleness of four days the
South Steel mill resumed operations
last night. The suspension, as hereto
fore mentioned, was caused by he
breaking of machinery at the roughing
mills. Some years ago a break of the
kind experienced last week would mean
that the mill could not resume until
the material would be shipped from
England, because the parts could not
be manufactured in this country. There
are cheerful prospects that, barring ac-
cidents, the mill will continue to oper-
ate for an indefinite period.

worth League Conference was opened
with a sunrise prayer meeting on the
brow OF Lookout Mountain. The at
tendance was large and the Methodist
fervor was at the highest pitch. Moth
ing like these meetings has ever been
seen in this section of the country. To-
day was largely spent in hearing papers
and addresses on matters Of interest to
working Leaguers. The morning was
given to a consideration of Methodist
hymnology and the best religious train
ing for the youth of the church. The
afternoon was given TO the discussion
OF the spiritual side of church work.
Bishop Galloway, Of the Southern
Methodist Church, presented the report
of the Committee on Resolutions, which
was read by Dr. Jesse BOwerman

committee. The announcement OF the

An Unusual Scene in the U. 5. Court at

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, June 29.-To-
day at United States Court an appli-
cation was made for an injunction in
the case of H. C. King VS.. U. S. BUS
kirk. Judge Jackson granted the in
junction, which enjoins Buskirk from
cutting any timber on the land in dis
pute, but he is allowed to remove the
timber already cut.
The contempt case of Buskirk was
adjourned until Monday. During the
preliminary proceedings in connection
with the case quite an exciting time
was had. Hon. John A. Hutchison ask
ed that an order be entered which con-
tanned a recital whose correctness was
disputed by the Court and by the
Clerk. An effort to find the original
document was unavailing. Hutchinson
said it contained one thing and some OF
the others said it did not. Hutchinson
then said there was a lie out and he did
not tell it, This called forth a repri-
mand from the Court. Judge Stiles IN
timated that Hutchison might have the
necessary paper in his pocket, where
upon Hutchison got mad and said he
did not do that kind of business and
further resented it by grabbing hand
full of papers from his pocket and
throwing them with some force in
Stiles's face. Stiles turned pale, and
the Court ordered the Marshal to pre-
serve order. The Court gave. the attor-
neys a severe lecture. The attorneys
apologized to his honor. An armstice
was declared and Buskirk was bound
over to appear on Monday next.
