SCENES AND INCIDENTS
 IN JUDGE FEAGIN'S COURT

The police were less In evidence at the inferior criminal court yesterday morn ing, the negro attendance was smaller and when am officers testimony was wanted he was called from the outside. Thus Judge Feagin was enabled to d.s- charge his duties, of which he is fully capable, unhampered. Clerk s. M. Min gea was absolutely joyful because he was not ba hared by gratuitous ad- vice.
 Charlie Greenwood, a lanky negro with a wan smile and a ripped coat, came to the call of Lime and faced a tan-colored youngstetr named Madison Baldwin, who lead off with the assertion that Charlie had "done 'salted n bat tered him." JAS the assault and battery wals bu1 slap with a dish towel for impudence, Charlie was allowed to leave court with a swagger which excited the envy od every negro spectator and made ono colored lady" swallow her snuff stick.
 When the snuff-stck swaflower had re- covered frctn her fit of coughing and quiet was restored, Dennis Case, a white man, toed the line. and had 10 reluctant iy admit that over-indulgercss had made him believe he was a cowboy and Bir- mingham "a steer ito be lassoed. He was fined $5 as gentle reminder.
 A stout thing of beauty named Jennie Colson, arrayed in a cratan waist, a green hat and oliher garments less strik- ing, was then called upon to explain why she had entered the saloon of Henry Benge and-to quote Henry-"raised cafn." She looked appealingly at Henry and hung her head, and she was assessed $3. Then Henry, whose shirt was as green as Jennie's hat, took pity on her and signed her confession of judgment.
 Lila Clay pleaded gully to a charge of disofderly conduct, and a swell-looking negro paid s5 for her.
 Sarah Gasten, with pork-pis hat and short silk skirt, was charged with grand larceny, but no one appeared collusion so continued the case.
 The case of W. G. Lunsford, charged with violation of the ordinance requir- ing a plumber to deposit $25 with the city authorities for every job of plumb ing, then came up. It was a friendly it, very properly holding that such 6 requirement. is unreasonable, unlawful and unjust" He added, however, that

There was a high old time" last night on Twenty-second street and Second avenue. Cheap beer, partaken of in copious draughts, converted a bagnio into bedlam.
 The fun went merry enough for sea- son, and again and again the frothy "growler' did its full duty toward the festivities of the occasion, until Officers Baker, Brown and Rollo appeared on the scene and escorted the merry makers to the city prison, where thick walls and iron doors let little noise into the street.

NATIONAL MEETING.
Called to Convene at St. Louis on
August 80.
ALL ORGANIZED LABOR IS INVITED,
Miners Not the Only Ones Inter-
ested IN the Issue.
IT NOW AFFECTS ALL CITIZENS
As the Meeting Is to Consider Cow
ernment by Injunction.
RESULT WILL SETTLE THE STRIKE.
All Organized Bodtes WIN he Asked
to Join the Miners nnd Tie Up
the Coal Country.

Columbus. Ohio, August Gothic Ma
tional executive board OF the United Mine
workers adjourned today after having is
sued the call for a conference of organized
labor to be held in St. Louis on August
80. The board rejected the proposition OF
the pittsburg operators for a conference
to arbitrate the wage dispute in THAI dis
trict. claiming that such action WOULD
prejudice their interests.
The board is ready to consider over
lures for the arbitration Of the issues OF
he great strike only when these overtures
come from all the operators in the compet-
tive districts, which include Ohio. In
diana, Illinois, West Virginia and Penn
sylvania. The board has decided not to
deyiate from the established policy antil
the result OF the st. Louis conference
is known. The aggressive work in the field
viii be continued and the efforts to spread
the strike in West Virginia VIII be re-
newed. Tho success or failure of the
strike hangs upon the st. Louis confer
ence, the call for which has been Endorsed
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation OF Labor. ana J.
X. Sovereign, grand master workman Of
the knights of Labor. They maintain that
the fight now being waged by the miners
| is one Of common interest to organized La
Dor throughout the country. At the St,
Louis conference all labor organizations
| will be asked to join issues with the min
| ers. The failure TO secure u general sus-
pension in West Virginia has greatly in
terfered with the prospects of success, as
the coal supplied from that and the few
isolated districts is meeting the limited
demand The only hope of cutting off
this supply appears to be in the refusal
of organized labor in the ordinary chan
nels of traffic and business to refuse Il
handle or use this coal. II the object o
the st. Louis conference is accomplished
the strike will be extended TO nearly ever,
branch of labor in the country.
