disobey any command he gave her and

compelled her to leave home with him.
Her Parents, she said, resided in
Knoxville. -.... ........
The girl stated that Hutchinson. by
Ills potent influence, forced her and
Alice Murry, companion, aged 10, to
tramp with him and obey his every
wish.
They said they left Knoxville, Tenn.
with Hutchinson June Z, and during
their enforced bondage, if their story
is true, could not have received worse
reatment if they had been in the hands
of Apache Indians. The Merry gir
managed to break the alleged spell that
bound her and last Monday left, anG
stopped at Covington, Ky. Hutchin
sou eluded the officers here, when h'
found the girl had fallen into theil

gence and appears greatly changed

BRYAN AND VICTORY.
Democratic Camp Fires Are Burning Brightly

all Over the Land.
All the signs of the times point to a
glorious victory for democracy in 1900.
Mckinley, "the advance agent Of pros
perity, has proven fiat failure. Re-
publieaniSm has utterly failed to fulfill
the promises so lavishly made, and'the
country again turns to democracy to
restore prosperity.
The silver republicans are aggressive
ly active, and have permanently parted
company with their party, and are
ready and axious to act with the demo-
Gratis in the restoration of silver to it's
rightful place in our currency.

shall be placed, and his name is William

SHUT DOWN.
All the Big Iron and Steel
Mills are Idle.
Eighty Thousand or More Men Are Now
ldle-Strike of Coal Miners.

Pittsburg, Pa, July2. AS the result
Of the failure of the joint wage scale
conference of the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers
and manufacturers to agree upon the
scale at the Youngstown conference
yesterday all the union mills are closed
down today, and between $4,000 and
s., 900 men are idle. This includes the
skilled workmen and those depending
on them.
President Garland returned from
Youngstown last night. When seen to-
day he said he was not discouraged at
the outlook, but looks for a settlement
after the annual repairs at the mills
have been completed.
This morning the employees of Jones
& Laughlin's met and discussed the
proposed % per cent. reduction in wages
which, it is said, is contemplated. 1t is
said that the meeting reported unfavor-
ably upon the proposition.
Three more signatures to the amalga-
mated scale we're received today. They
were the Muncie Iron and Steel Co.,
Peninsular Car Co. and Jones 4 Laugh.
Inns for the structural departments Of
mills No. II and ~.
The general suspension Of work to-
day, following the disagreement of the
Joint Conference Committee at Youngs
town yesterday, can not be regarded as
either strike or lockout. Repairs
are always made at this season of the
year, and many manufacturers do mo-
sign the scale until after their plants
have been Overhauled. This usually
takes two or three weeks. In the mean
time the conference committee will
meet and endeavor to settle the Difficult
ties.
If the committee finds that an agree
ment is impossible the strike can ther
be considered as on in earnest.
The conference on the tin plate wage
scale will be resumed tomorrow by tn,
committee of the manufacturers ant
the Amalgamated Association. All tn,
tin plate plants in the country, with tn
exception of four non-union concerns
are idle and number of manufacturer
are anxious to get to work. The work
ers insist that they will make no con
cessions, while the manufacturers ar
willing to grant at least 10 per cent. ad
vance over the present rate.
GENERAL STRIKE OF MINERS.
Tere Haute, Ind, July 9.-The Ex

the table he commenced to express
great sympathy, saying: at sho' is

to take his leg off, the negro thought
he was Joking, but went at it in a

most ready to shed tears of sympathy
this time. Placing the leg on the
table by the side Of the arm, and look
