Che Strike at st. Louis.

st. Luis, June 16.-Transit cars are
running without protection or inter
ference and with few passengers. The
statement of the chief of police that the
strike was broken by the shooting last
Sunday is held by many to be true.
Two efforts to dynamite cars last night
we're made in north st. Louis. An
explosion took place uDder a rapidly
moving car, SCATTERING the front truck
and slightly iDjuring the conductor. A
package OF nitro glycerine cartridges

GUARDED THE BRoOK.-A night in q
tree is no fun. That is exactly where o
brindle bull, weighing about 1900
pounds, forced Jas. Wheeler and VIM.
Risedorf, proprietor and head clerk re-
spectively OF Hotel Central, and George
w. Eaton, a lumber merchant, 10
Winstead Conn.,, who went trout fishing
in Hartland Wednesday to spend the
night. The fisherman left WiDstead
early in the morning and drove to Cen
ter Hill, where they put out their horses
and repaired to posted brook owned
by Osborn Murphy, farmer. Eaton
and Risedorf were whipping the brook
for fish when they were startled by
cries of an animal. Eaton espied the
large bull first and shouted. Run
for q tree, the bull is after us!''
The fishermen had been warned to look
out for Murphy's bull, which seems to
make it his business to see that the rule,
mo fishing or hunting on these prem
ises," is enforced. Easton and Rlsedorf
got up the same tree before the bull
could overtaks them. Three hours
later Wheeler, while searching for Eat
on and Risedorf, climbed over the fence
into the Murphy lot. Before the bull
saw Wheeler he, also, was up tree not
O great distance from Eaton and Rise
dorf and the bull. The bull held the
fishermen prisoner in the tree until
shortly after daybreak in the morning
when Murphy came to their rescue.
None of them slept wink during the
whole night. When taken to task for
keeping such vicious animal Murphy
remarked: II am obliged to. III didn't
have bull / wouldn't have trout in
my brooks"

ACCORDING TO dispatches from Phil
adelphia, Mr.. Hanna has pleaded for
peace, harmony and unity in the ma
tional committee of his party, now 10
session there. Such pleading must have
been laborious, but was entirely unnec'
essary. The cohesive power OF pubic
plumber always was strong, but is
stronger now than ever. and when the
national republican convention shall
adjourn, all the delegates to it, whether
admitted or excluded, will grasp the
President maker by the hand, a9d a.
sure bin that when they return to their
homes they will "whoop 1t up" for Me-
Kinley and his running mate, no mat
ter who the latter may be.

A DIFFERENT STORY.

The affair of few days ago at Glow
erdale, in which two young women
Miss Linkenhoker and Miss Keister-
came near losing their lives and which
may yet prove fatal in both cases, is
surrounded in mystery, and many sto-
ries are circu ated concerning the mat
ter. The case was placed several days
ago 10 the hands OF Chief W. G. Baldwin,
of the Baldwin Detective Agency, and
he Yesterday visited the scene ofthe oc-
curence. Last night he returned to
Roanoke and stated that Miss Lienken-
boker had been conscious for several
davs. but could not render any account
OF how the affair occurred. He stated
that it was a positive fact that Mis-:
Keister had never made any rational
statement that could be relied upon.
Mr.. Baldwin says that he attributes the
condition of both the young ladies TO
an accident, caused by the shying OF the
horse they were driving, and he believes
they were thrown from the buggy.
The following statement was given yester
day by the Attending physician: miss Linken
hoker is out Of danger, in my opinion. Miss
Keisters condition is about the sane. Hell
temperature is $50. She is not suff ring, et'
cept from nausea and from extreme weak
ness. Her only soreness is about the throat.
She is not out of danger, and brain fever Is q
possible result ,Miss Linkenhoker was not
examined, but believe she was untouch-
ed. Miss Keistsr was not examined, but from
all circumstances and conditions L believe
she was unframed"
This seems to preclude the possibility Of
criminal assault, and it seems that the sober
minded people are more disposed to regard
the event as An accident than otherwise. The
detectives are looking for plausible clues, snd
they admit that there are possibilities that the
women were assaulted by an enemy.
