MAY BE GENERAL.
CANADIAN PACIFIC STRIKE Is PRO-
CROSSING.
Scarcely Single Freight Train
Moving From Lake Superior to
the Pacific Coast.

WINNIPEG, Man, Sept. 29.-Reports
are current tonight that a general
strike among all the employees of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad from the
Atlantic to the Pacific may take place
as a result of the walk-out of the OPP
orators. AS it is scarcely a single
freight train is moving from Lake SUI
perior TO the Pacific coast. Passenger
service is seriously interrupted, and
Geographic business is totally demor-
allied at all minor stations. Not an
operator, excepting dispatchers, is at
his post of duty at the stations.
AT 1880 the order came for the men
to leave their keys, and it was promptly
obeyed. No freight traips have come in
except some just due few hours after
midnight, which were allowed to go TO
their destinations When the operators
left work at many stations they put
up the signal holding freight trains,
and as a result q number of freights,
including stock trains, are lying side
tracked at different points. The mail
trains will run past the signals, but it
will be difficult even to run these as
their crossing places often are small
points where the operator or operators
are on a strike.

With Great Fury.

CHARLESTON, S c., Sept CO.
Blowing at the rate of sixty-two miles
an hour, gale of cyclonic fury swept
Charleston today from end TO end. At
II o'clock this morning, the sky filed
rapidly with ominous looking clouds,
and soon the wind began to swirl and
tear through trees and around build
ings. From noon until about s o'clock,
the wind rose rapidly and the official
record showed sixty-two miles per
hour was reached. Trees, fences and
loose signs came down.
Almost before the storm had reached
a serious point here, it was understood
that the city was partially shut off
from telegraph communication with
the outside world. AT O'Clock this af
ternoon, inquiries at the offices of the
Geographic companies developed the
fact. that Charleston was entirely cut
off During the height of the storm
hundreds of people went down on the
south and east battery. Over the sea-
wall on both fronts the waves dashed
in cataracts. The walls and grass
plots on the south side were submerged
about l o'clock and the water extended

Jarvis. another carnival danseuse, she
had departed for Butte last Saturday
night. From what can be learned the
girls have been sowing wild oats ever
since the advent of the carnival. The
Jarvis woman was married a few years
ago, but the match was unequal and a
separation was the result. For some time
past she has been stopping with her
grandfather on Sixth West street. About
three weeks ago she was Joined by the
Miller girl and the two occupied a front
room in the house. Rumors well au-
thenticated have it that the pair had adj
mirers by the score. and among them
were numbered two married men of some
prominence and means. Before the girls
left they endeavored to have several
younger lady friends accompany them.
This failed, however, and it was finally
arranged that Maud and Ruby upon ar
irving at Butte should write back and
send money for transportation. Now one
of the young girls who came very near
being enticed from home has unfolded
the secret and the plan will fail. The in

was held up by his two associates and
relieved of an overcoat, a valuable gold

Pocatello, Malott reported his less TO
