stronr terms. Secretary Lewis plead
for study of the question, and warn
ed the laboring people that they
might take hold of the hot end OF the
poker. He went into the matter at
some length, explaining the origin and
purpose of injunctions, not for the
purpose of defending them, but for
getting at a better understanding or
the matter. He was unalteraDiy op-
posed to any injunction which would
prevent free speech or public assem-
blage. He was also strongly opposed
to government by injunction in such
cases as made it possible to commit
men to Jail without trial. The matter
should be studied, and the remedy lies
in the ballot.
A motion was made to appoint a
committee of three to draft resolu-
tons in the matter Adopted. The
chair appointed Delegates Donnelly,
Hecker and Bauer The committee re-
ported the following, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this Assembly that the injunction, as
issued by the judges, restraining the
exercise of free speech and peaceful
public assemblage, be hereby strenu-
ously denounced by all true American
citizens, as detrimental TO the rights
and privileges of American citizenship.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Nyheeline Anngst z. 18a7.

wheeling, AuugSt Z, 1897.
To the Editor of the Register
Sir: While the strike situation re-
mains about the same as last week, with
the exception of several hundred adj
ditions to the strikers ranks, it is
gratifying to know that the striking
miners are firm and peaceable; also that
the sympathy Of the public is still with
us, especially the trades people and
farmers. God bless them. The good
they are doing will not be forgotten
soon. We have been making a note
of who our friends are; we also note
quite a change of tone in the press in
the last two or three days, which is ia
vorable to the miners cause; in fact,
every person except the tyrannical cap
italist hope for success to the UNDER
paid miners, as the old saying is, they
see something in the wind. The time
is coming, and at no great distant day
when the wealth-earners of this the
grandest nation on the globe, will I'M
dertake to do their own business, thus
STOPPING to delegate millions to do 1t
for them. We could say a great deal
on this. but will defer for the present.
Certainly all trades people fully under
stand the situation. The experience Of
the past has surely taught dear les
son. All petty jealousies and political
animosities must be wiped out and
something be done to avoid these great
struggles between capital and labor.
Competition virtually compels the
trades people to regulate these things.
All this the cute politician can grasp
at a glance. The deep-thinking news
paper man is beginning to see that It
is only a question of a very short time
until the masses will be in control Of
these United States, injunctions and
all. Certainly we are in duty bound to
be fair, reasonable, consistent. and law
abiding in this grand country, where all
men are born free and equal: that's all.

JOHN WOODS DEAD.
A Prominent and Wealthy Citizen OF
BelmOn. County Passed Away Sat

Business MeIhods--Hls Career,

nv the death of John Woods, when
occurred Saturday evening, and was
mentioned in yesterdays Register
Relmont county loses one of her prom
inent and wealthiest citizens, man oil
untiring energy, who began life pen
niless and passed away worth $lOo'-
ooO accumulated through close imam
ciering.
Jobn Woods, more Familiarity known
&c Johnny" was born in the town
Of Mt. Pleasant, o., on September
9th 1916. Here he lived until the
wear 1868. having become proml-
nent stock dealer, although his prin-
cinal occupation was eontracting'
ater ON he engaged extensively IN
sock dealing ana WOOL Duylus' ,,sI a.
this way he obtained his start IN me;
In the wear 1868 he gave up caItle anu
wooI buving. moving from Mt. Pleas,
ant 10 farm which he purchased
shout two miles back OF bridgeport
nm the Cadiz pike, and upon when
he lived up to the time OF his dea'h.
By close financiering, fortunes rays
hegan TO shine on him, and ne began
to accumulate money, some OF when
he invested in farm lands throughouI
the county, and ten years ago II was
estimated that he was worth between
S125. 600 and $150,000, but since the
depression in the value of farm lands,
and other property in proportion, MS
wealth is estimated at little over
100000.
For almost a quarter of century
he was a director of the First Nation
al Bank of Bridgeport, which posi-
ton he resigned about a year ago on
account of his advanced age.
Probably no man in Belmont coun-
ty was so widely acquainted as ne,
owing to the occupation he followed
for so many years. In six counties
Harrison, Jefferson, Monroe, Guern-
sey. Belmont and Noble, he could
number his friends, as we'll as men
with whom he had dealings while en-
gagged. in wool and cattle buying.
In the year 1916 he was married to
Miss Eliza Coss, a daughter of Adam
Coss, at that time prominent far
mer back in the county, Rev. Ben
jamin Mitchell, of Mt. Pleasant, per-
forming the ceremony. Their union
was blessed by seven children, three
girls and four boys. Three have since
died, those now living being Mrs.
Anna Litton, Of Colerain township;
James. Will A.. and John Woods, all
of whom reside in Pease township.
Mr.. Woods, realizing that he was
fast failing in health divided his
property equally among his children
in July. 1896, thus relieving his mind
OF the strain of business matters, con-
sequently no will was left and all
relatives are satisfied.
Mr.. Woods death was very sudden,
az he was sick but eight days. A
week from last Friday he was taken
suddenly i'll with hemmorhages of the
bowels. From that time on he con-
tinued to slowly sink until his death
Saturday evening.
The funeral will take place this
morning at ten O'Clock from his late
home and will be in charge of the
Masonic Lodge of Bridgeport, OF
which he was a member. Interment
will be made at Weeks Cemetery.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 16.-The wild
freak of a crazy fireman on the fast
mail from Augusta yesterday after
noon was the cause Of q sensation to
those who witnessed the occurrence.
The name of the fireman ia question
is w. 2. Hutchinson, he has been
recently resident OF this city
but has only lived here short
time, and but little seemsto be known
Of his anticedents except that
heis married man and has wife
and children. H9is about 25 or %
years Of age, and gave no evidences OF
insanity previous to yesterday. He
came out OF Augusta all right, but
just as the train left Bath, he became
violent and suddenly leaped from the
engine and broke for the woods at full
speed. An immediate pursuit was
made, but all efforts to catch him
proved una7aiIing. So another fire
man was put on IN his place for the
remainder Of the run TO Columbia.
No doubt search parties will be made
up IN the vicinity where the incident
occurred, and an earnest effort made
to ind the poor fellow aud put him
where he can be properly cared for

a Murderous Maniac.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Feb. 16.-J ohn
W. Marrs, city treasurer, Saturday
killed his six.year old son and also
shot his daughter and sister. The
ladies will recover. After attempting
to kill the whole family, Marrs killed
himself. He had been in the asylum
ten years ago, but had since been well
and was with Wilson & Co., clothiers.
When the servantawoke Mars at 7:45
this morning, he arose with an insane
light in his eye and as the servant re-
treated, two shots were fred. Mrs.
Marrs and her sister.in-law, Miss Ida,
a school teacher, ran up 10 the room.
Miss Ida entered the room and found
Marrs brandishing pistol. He struck
her with the weapon and fired, but the
bullet missed its mark. He then shut
and locked the door and when the
neighbors assembled and forced an en-
trance be was found with his throat
cut from ear to ear, his head barely
hanging to the bedy. The little boy
was shot through the head and mutt
lated with the razor. Helen was
wounded in the back of the head, but
will recover. Mrs. Marrs is in a criti-
/ CO condition from nervous prostra-
tion. The Marrs family is promin-
ent one, socially and financially.

The GiElT Girl.

The girly girl is the truest girl. She
is what she seems. and not a sham
and a pretense. The slangy girl has
hare job CT it not to forget her
character. The boy girl and the rapid
girl are likewise wearers of masks.
The girly girl never bothers about
woman's rights and woman's wrongs.
She is girl, and glad Of it. She
would rot be boy and grow up into
man and vote and 60 to war and
puzzle her brain about stocks for a
kingdom. She knows nothing about
business, and does not want to know
anything about it. Her aim is to
marry some good fellow and make
him a good wife, and she generally
succeeds in dong both. She delights
in dress and every thing that is pretty,
and is not ashamed to own up that she
does Sne is pleased when she is ad-
mired, and lets you see that she is.
She is feminine from the top OF her
head to he end Of her toes, and II you
try 10 draw her into the discussion Of
dry themes she tells you SQUARED y that
the conversation does not suit her.
S6e is the personidcation Of frank
ness. There is not a particle of hum
bug IN her composition. Here is
health to the girly girl May her
number never grow less.

the farmer in the high tax and went
fully into all the bearings of the sub
ject.
Mr.. Mcdaniel, for the Committee on
Agriculture, which made the unfavor-
able report, replied to him. Clemson
needed the fund, he said. Tnere was
no demand by the farmers for its re.
duction. There was no need for the
law. Il was not fsir in its restrictions
on the fertilizer companies, which
were not in a position just now to
bear fresh burdens. The chemist Al
Clemson had never found any delete
rious matter IN any samples of fertiliz'
ers examined, though analyses varied.
Mr.. Norris eulogized his friend, Mr..
Connor, bus thought his bill would
work an injury not only TO Clmson,
but to the men who built Clemson. In
the course Of his argument for the
support Of Clemson, he urged that the
graduating papers from that institu-
ton would not admit one Of the re.
cent graduates to the freshman class
of s technical school for higher edu.
cation. He contended that the reduc.
ton OF the tax would make no differ.
ence with the farmer, as the small
change in price would be lost between
the manufacturer and the middle
man.
Mr.. Archer moved that further con.
sideration be postponed until Friday.
The Senate then adjourned until Fri
day at 10 o'clock.
There was strong effort made dur
ing the day by members OF the House
to have reconsidered thevote by which
the anti-free pass repeal bill was kill
ed. a number of Senators were i'm
porluned to make the motion, as i
was declared that a full Senate would
pass the repeating bill. They did
not, however, meet with great deal
of encouragement. is possible that
they may, if they press their efforts
! as actively as they did yesterday, be
ultimately successful in inducing
some Senator to open the way for the
free passes again.

tional colleges were wedding out
free tuition and soon they would get
in position where no one would be
educated who couldn't pay for it.
Where then will the poor BOYS be-
They will be run into the sea. Under
these circumstances he thought Mr..
Patton's amendment eminently prop.
er. The 100 students provided for
would not cost the State any more
than THAT she has already appropria
ted for the support Of the college. He
denied that Mr.. Kinard represented
the true position OF Woford. That
college was not jealous Of the South
Carolina College. He said no man
ever hurt himself taxing himself to
support a denonina!lonal college,
when he was paying other taxes, so
all this talk about double taxation
amounts to nothing.
Mr.. kinard said Mr.. Patton had re-
ierred to him as representative Of
Woford College. He denied the in
sinv alton, but said that he spoke gen
orally for all denominational colleges.
Mr. Smith arose to a question Of
personal privilege too, and Mr.. Stur-
kie suggested that if SO many gentle
men wanted to rise to a question OF
persona! privilege they write them
out and print them in the journal.

stood 81 to SO IN favor, BY the follcw-

Additional Dredges ut Work to Sc

Brunswick Ca, Dec. 21.-Additional
dredges arrived in port last night to as
sist those now being steadily worked
night and day by the P. Sanford Ross
Company and the Plant system. The
deepening of wharf frontage now Under
way embraces nearly the entire water
front A depth of twenty-four feet has
been gained at the Southern railroad ter

has been dredged to meet the depth ac-
CURED by government engineers in Acad-
envy creek. The Mallory line Coney &
Parker's, Southern Pine COmpany's are
also using dredges and good depths will
be obtained for all Soundings are being
taken at Ellis Young & Co.'S naval stores
yards and work win shortly be COM
menced there. The greatest activity is
shown in shipping circles all along the
bay, and indications, together with SEEM
ngly reliable rumOrs, point to the arrival
at an early date of several large lumber
firms and one big naval store firm. The
effort to have a lightship established be-
tween Savannah aud Jacksonville is re-
ceiVing hearty support from Congress-
men Brantley and Lester. Since the gov
ernment tug Nina ran ashore with the
brig Robert Dillon and her lieutenant was
subsequently court-martialed, and since
the Norwegian bark Frammes met her fate
on the treacherous shoals of Wolf Island
shore the necessity for a lightship has
sought to be doubly Impressed upon the
authorities. 1t is urged for the great bend
of the coast from Savannah to Jackson
Vile and it is equally important to every
port in the bend With the exception of
Hatteras and Diamond Point shoals. ship
ping interests say there is no point on
the coast which needs lightshp more.
The lights for all ports in this bend are
all low-order lights, and difficult to dis
tnguish one from another in thick wealth
