years ago, he was lettering about a country
courthouse, when a presiding Judge sud
denly summoned him to appear in court.

is charge that may result in sending the
prisoner to the penitentiary if the case
goes against him, and do not like to I'M

self would do under such circumstances :"
And If do this will the Court hold me

the attorney.

keelhauling was method of naval dsci-

navy, for as Van Tromp swept the channel

men sometimes used human sweepers un-
der their keels. In large square-rigged
vessels the victim was lashed to spar. and
had iron weights secured to his feet; spans
were secured to this spar, and lines were
led from 1t to the main. yard. When all

st. Louis, Aug. 31.-The conference of
labor leaders of the country which has
been in session two days finished its work
this evening. The meeting was productive
of several sensational speeches and many
resolutions, yet no decisive action was
taken in the principal matter for which
the gathering was convened-thc abolish
ment of government by injunction.
The convention, which had been an
nounced as the last one of its kind to be
held, while adjourning sine die, has mere
ly postponed action on the matters before
it for three weeks, as Il call for a similar
convention, to be held in Chicago, Mon
day, September ~. was issued. True it is
Prescott of the International Topographic
cal union to request President Mckinley
in the name of the convention, to call a
special session of congress for the pur-
pose of defining the authority of judges
in the matter of injunctOns," but as the
president will hardly receive the commrl-
nication in time to convene congress in
three weeks. even should he consider the
matter favorably, the Chicago gathering
may take action which would render to-
days move void. or decide to act in an
other manner Mr.. Debs and social democ
racy dominated the convention, and the ia
nous labor leader carried the gathering
off its feet this afternoon in one of his
characteristic speeches.
A resolution introduced by Mr. MahOn
of Detroit, calling upon all miners now
at work to desert their posts, and terming
them enemies of human liberty so long as
they remained on duty, was adopted.
Mr.. Mahon had another resolution pre-
pared asking the convention to call for
100 volunteers to go into the town of PO-
cahOntas, Va, on the 10Th of September,
and there hold a meeting i'll defiance of
the mayor of the city, who has set him
self up in opposition to the God-given and
constitutional right of free speech" but at
it, The resolution will probably come to
the front at Chicago meeting. Mr.. Ratch-
ford, who was especially pleased with the
conventions Instructions, hurried away to-
night to Columbus, where he will attend
conference of mine workers and opera
tors.
Mr.. Debs and, in fact, all the leaders are
gratified at the result of the conference.

AN AWFUL CASUALTY,

Escaped.

N New Orleans, Aug. ga special from
Tampa, Fla, to the Times Democrat saws:
Mrs. Francis Valdez, wife of a promi-
nent cigar manufacturer of Port Tampa
City; suburb of Tampa, was burned TO
death, together with her 16-year-old daugh-
Ter and her baby. Her husband and son
narrowly escaped death and both are bad
ly injured.
Mrs. Valdez inadvertently threw some
kerosene on charcoal stove, which con-
tanned live Goals, and in moment the
flames enveloped her, and her daughter ran
to her rescue and the flames were COM
inundated to her before the danger was
realized. Both ran towards an open door
and passed the baby in the hall and the
wind communicated the flames to the
babys flimsy clothing, and before aid
could reach it the baby was dead. The
mother and daughter, frenzied by their
own sufferings, continued their mad fight
to the front piazza and were soon burned
to crisp. Mr.. Valdez and little son.

terial aid, We're badly burned while maxi
ing an attempt to rescue the victims from
the flames. The house was soon in flames
and all efforts to eXtinguish the flames
proved futile until four adjoining resi-
dences had been burned to the ground.

never was before. and the grief-strckcn

q result of the occurrence.

st. Louis, Aug. 31.-The delegates to

was nearly an hour after the time set
for the meeting before the body was
called to order.
1t was 10 o'clock when the committee
on resolutions filed into the hall and the
delegates were called to order to hear its
report. Mr.. Berger presenting the reso-
lutions spoke of the great task the com
mittce had before it. He said the re-
port to be submitted was the best the
committee could do under the circum-
stances. The platform as presented
reads as follows:
