preaching the station at full speed,
three young ladies attempted to run

wealthy tobacconist, of Petersburg,
who was waiting to take the train,
rushed forward at the imminent risk of
bis own life and dragged her from tbs
rails Just as the engine passed over the

JUDGE JACKSON, of West Virginia, IN
perpetuating the Injunction against the
violence of the striking miners, asked
Tor by the Governor of his State. yester'
day, said;
There is no reason why the rights
of property owners should not be pro-
tected by the courts. These owners IN
vested large sums of money in their
plant and the bill for injunction alleged
the defendants were about to do things
that would lessen the value Of property
and possibly destroy it."
No reasonable man denies thls'
though Mr.. Debs does. A mans money
invested in mines, that are taxed, is as
much entitled to the laws protection as
that invested in bank, 8 factory, a
farm, or in any other kind OF property,
and nobody can tell, that is, satisfacto'
rily, why there should be.objection to
ats receiving such protection.

AT ONE of the Organization" repub-
licau meetings in the State yesterday, a
resolution was unanimously adopted,
favoring the running of legislative TICK
cts in all the counties. But the "or-
gauization," as whole, determined to
rup no State ticket, for the assigned
reason that such ticket would have
no chance of success under the present
election law. AS the success or defeat
of the State ticket, depends upon that OF
the county tickets and as both are con-
Quoted under the same law, how the
republicans would stand any better
chance with county, than with State
ticket, is not easily comprehended by
democrats, though it may be by repub-
licans and their allies, the boilers.
