The company was one of the finest

universal opinion of the large crowd
present that a more intelligent looking
lot of men could not have been found
anywhere.
There are two newspaper men IN the
crowd. MIR. w (. Johnston is editor OF
The Virginia Gazette and Mr.. II. ID. Cole

IN ACTIVE SERVICE.
Citizen Members of the Posse Conf
tatus Armed ami Assigned to
Guard Duty.

ST. Louis, June 5.--Thc citizen
members of the posse comitatus had
their first experience with active
service Monday, when several com
panies were armed and assigned for
guard duty at the Park avenue, East

pany. While on guard duty the MEM
bers of the sheriff's posse will be
subject 10 strict military discipline
Those not on guard will be held in
reserve at the different police sta
tons. A barracks has been provided
for those already sworn in. and there
the men will eat and sleep when off
duty. Only eight policemen will be
sent out to guard the cars. The work
of sumlnoning and swearing in addi-
tional deputies was continued Mon
day.
All but two or three of the di-
visions of the Transit company's sys-
tenn are operating cars Monday. The
interference with passengers in some
sections of the city by strike sympa-
thizers is becoming serious. Pas
sengers alighting from cars along
South Broadway have been repeatedly
assaulted with sticks, stones and
fists. Several women have been bru-
tally beaten and their clothing al
most torn off. In every instance the
police have rescued the victims.

OVER THE ROOF TOPS.
New York Police Chase House
Breakers, With Disastrous
and Fatal Results.

New York, June 5.-The police at
an early hour in the morning chased
four house breakers over the roof
tops in the 103d street East Side ten
ement district, with the result that
one of the fugitives is dead, one is
suffering from conclusion of the
brain and internal injuries at Harlem
hospital, another is under arrest and
the fourth made his escape. The men
were discovered after they had bro
ken into vacant store and were at
tempting to get into a clothing store.
The alarm was given, and four police
men chased them up through the ten
ement hallway and over the roofs.
Three of the men attempted to
make a descent to the ground by
means of lofty clothes pole stand
ing close to one of the buildings. At
least two of them fell from about the
third story to the paved areaway be-
low. Alexander Grove, 81 years old,
was killed instantly, and William
Dickson was found unconscious. 1t
Is thought that the other man fell on
top of these two and was not injured.
He made his escape at any rate.

caught on the roof.

THE MEETING TIME.

Oh, bitter is the sorrow
When here we part In tears.
And heavy is the burden
OF long and lonely years.
But what will be the meeting
When life's sad journeys past.
Within the Fathers keeping
We find our own at last!
As mists that cloud the morning
AS shadows of the night
Forgotten in the glory
OF noontide's radiant light,
The weary years of waiting
AS nothing then shall seem.
The pain. the loss. the sorrow-
Remembered as a dream.
oh. what will be the meetingl
No words its JOY may framel
When face to face We see them.
Immortal-yet the same:
When dear. long-silent voices
Shall speak our names once more.
And smiles Of welcome greet Us
As fondly as OF yore!
Oh. blessed thought Of comfort.
When those We love have gone
To seek a better country.
And We are left alonei
Shall we not walt In patience
little longer here.
