But for the Fear of Being Lynched.
Special to the Register.

Special TO the Register.
WILLIAMSON, W. Va, July g.
All efforts to capture Elias Hatfield,
Jr., who killed H. E. Ellis, near Gray,
Tuesday, have proved futile. Some of
the best detectives of this State and
Kentucky have Joined the sheriff S
posse in pursuit and the search will
not likely be ended until Hatfield is
captured or killed. Ellis relatives are
wealthy, and declare they will spend a
fortune for Hatield's body, dead or
alive.
Reports from the pursuing party are
that Hatfield is cornered in the hills
near Gray, and wishes to surrender but
fears lynching.

WI MORE SIGNATURES

Received Yesterday-The Second Tin
Plate Conference

Received Yesterday-The Second Tin
Plate Conference.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 6.-Two
more important concerns have signed
the Amalgamated Association wage
scale. They are the Oil Well Supply
Company, operating the old Elba Iron
Works, and the Pittsburg Forge & Iron
Company at Woods Run, Allegheny.
The last named has been operated as a
non-union mill for several years. The
plant, which was closed on Friday
night, will be started on Monday.
Secretary John Williams and Vice
President VIM. S. Collier, Of the Am
algamated Association, and the men,
bers of the tin-plate workers wage
committee, left tonight for Chicago to
attend the conference IN the tin-plate
scale tomorrow morning. A settle
ment is confidently expected.
Word comes from Etna tonight that
the strike at the Spang, Chalfant &
Co.'S mill at Etna, which has been in
progress since Thursday last, was end
ed to-day when all the dissatisfied
%puddlers returned to work. The firm
has not and says it will not sign the
scale, and that the strikers returned
of their own free will.
Sharpsburg reports the strike at
Moorhead Bros. & Co.'s mill at Sharps-
burg is practically over. Several
more of the strikers returned to work
yesterday, making in all about twenty
five who have returned during the past
two days. About forty of them have
secured work in other mills, thus
leaving about twenty men still out, and
1t is probable that these will soon re-
turn to their former positions or else
secure work elsewhere.

His Souvenir.

A famous novelist arrived one day at
q little English country place, and from
the moment he crossed the threshold
of the quiet inn, comported himself
with excessive ease.
He was passionately addicted to cab
bage and instructed the landlord to
prepare for dinner ON his arrival an
immense dish Of that vegetable. which
he conscientiously devoured.
Next day there was cabbage in the
soups and cabbage In the stew. and by
the third day the whole culinary de-
partment by order was conducted on
the basis Of cabbage.
After a weeks stay the novelist had
had enough of 1t. and announced his
intention Of departing. Just before
starting he waited on his host to pre-
sent his respects He found him in the
garden-the kitchen garden.
Good sir" he began loquaciously.

vout and very old man. One day he
was accused of stealing the affections
of his brothers. wife and was sent to
prison for trial. He became very huns

a man of his great piety. During the
night bush sprang up through the
floor of his dungeon, and in the morn
ing the famished man ate the leaves.
Days went by while he was waiting
for his trial, and he continued to piece
out his scanty diet with the leaves Of
the bush. When he was taken into
court for trial the officers exclaimed:
This is not the man who was arrest
ed and confined in the cell. The cul-
prit is an old man; this is young
man."
Sure enough Haw had become q
young man to all appearances again.
He was innocent of the charge against
him, and when released by the judge
Haw told him the story Of the little
plant that had grown UP in his cell
and how he had eaten the leaves.
The officials dug up the shrub and
presented it to the emperor. His fami-

that had the privilege of eating the
sacred leaves. But as time passed
