CHATTANOOGA In GEORGIA.
Attempt tn Rob Tennessee by Re-
survey of boundary Lines.

ATLANTA, Ca. Sept. "A question has
been sprung here which may result in Chat
tanooga. which has long been known as
one of the leading cities of Tennessee, be-
coming a Georgia town Doubt has been
thrown on the accuracy of surveys Of the
boundary line between this State and Ten
nessee and If the theory OF eminent legal
authorities here Is confined 1t may be found
that Chattanooga is on Georgia soil. This
view IS shared by Col. w. A. Wimbish
special commissioner of the State for the
Western & Atlantic Railroad. who has
looked into the question in his official ca
pacity and to-day expressed his strong be-
lief that a correct survey would bring the
city of Chattanooga within the confines Of
this State. The publication of this fact has
aroused much interest here and Il Is not
unlikely that il may result in the next Leg
islatnre providing for resurvey of the
boundary.

EYICTIONs RESISTED.
Women Undo the Work of Deputies
Sneech by Thomas De Armitt.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 9.-The work of evict-
ing the striking miners at Plum Greek and
Clarksville was begun to-day. At o'clock
this morning sixteen deputies evcted Jas.
McCabe and his family from one of the
company's houses at Plum Greek. Little re-
sistance was offered at the time, but as soon
as the house had been emptied and the fur
nture piled up in the middle of the street.
a mob armed with clubs and baseball bats
gathered in front OF the house Of the evict-
ed family. After the deputies had gone the
women forced an entrance into the house
again and carried the furniture back. Three
hours later the sixteen deputies arrived at
Clarksville and evicted John Puke and his
family. They are Polish people and have
many friends at Clarksville. The same tao
ties were resorted to there after the deputies
had completed their work. The furniture

the striking miners from Camp Isolation
were present. They jeered the De Armitts
The women were armed with baseball bats,

Quoted themselves in such a bellicose man
ner that the De Armitts were glad to re-
main indoors while the eviction was being
done.
Thomas B. De Armitt finally came out
on the porch and asked the men and wom-
en- if they would permit him TO make a few
remarks. They consented TO hear what he
had to say, and he entered into an explana-
tion of the contracts which the miners had
made with the company the purpose being
to show the assembled people that the
company was not doing more than it had a
right to do. Then he launched into a dis
cussion of the strike generally and said
that the men had only themselves to blame
themselves to be led, and their leaders
had simply sold them out again. Mr.. De
Armitt concluded by inviting Uriah Billing
ham, leader of the striking miners at Plum
Creek. to reply to his charges.
Mr.. Billingham accepted the invitation,
and the result was period of warmth that
threaten I'd to become a riot. Billingham
made denial of De Armitts accusation
and asked for proof of the charges. He
wound up his remarks by denouncing
Thomas b. De Armitt as "a grinning liar"
Cheers came from the assembled miners
and women, and Deputy Sheriff Young
came from the house. Young assayed to
place Billingham under arrest but the lat
ter appealed to some deputies who We're in

support of their leader and Young con-
cluded not to make the arrest. Billingham
succeeded in getting the strikers to return
to their camp, but the women remained and
remarked that they wished to get at the

house in order to avoid trouble. The

MUST PAY REGULAR RATES.
Treasury OmciaIs Serve Notice tc
Banks and Currency Shippers.

NEW YORK, Sept 9.-The treasury Off
cials here were to-day served with a notice
from the department at Washington an
nouncing that the special government rate
on currency shipments has been withdrawn
and that banks and all currency shippers
will in future have to pay regular express
or mail rates. 1t had been the custom of
the Treasury Department to make special
carrying rates when gold was rendered. The
special rate was in many cases % per
cent. less than that charged by express
companies. 1t is surmised that the govern
ment was led to take this step because of
a mistaken idea on the part of many that
gold was desired to fill the vaults of the
SubtreaSurieS.

HAZELTON. Pa, Sept 9.-The striking
miners continued marching to-day. They
marched to Beaver Meadow coll.ery and
before being dispersed by the deputies they

ing, and the indications are that 25,OOO men
will strike within a week. This embraces
the entire Lehigh field.
