The Norgan's Grove Fair.

President A. S. Reynolds and E.
H. Reinhart, committee to secure
speakers for Morgan's Grove fair for
September 9Th and 9th, are working
indefatigably to have several of the
most prominent speakers in this coun-
try to deliver addresses on those dates.
It has been determined to have two
political days, Wednesday and Thurs
day, September 9Th and 9th, when
Democrats and Republicans shall have
representatives at the fair. From the
present prospects it is hoped and be-
lie7ed that Hon. William Jennings
Bryan will be present. Hon. John
T. McGraw, member of the national
committee for West Virginia, has
taken a deep interest in the matter,
and writes that as Mr.. Bryan expects
to be in this State in the early part Of
September there is strong probable
ity that he will come to Shepherds
town as requested. A great many
prominent Democrats of this and ad-
Joining States are taking deep inter-
est in the political days, and they
promise to be important events. Sen
ator George L. Wellington, whose
anti-imperialistic views have aroused
so much interest, and who is one Of
the most eloquent and attractive
speakers in public life, has agreed to
be present and has written the fol-
lowing letter to the committee
beg to acknowledge receipt Of and

From the Street Car Strike.
st. Louis, AIny 10.-0n this the third
day of the street railway strike not q
wheel on the various lines of the st
Louis Transit company's system is NOV
ing. There is no prospect that this sys
tenn, which controls all but one line in
the city and county, will attempt to run
cars until assured of protection. The
mail cars, however, are running over al
the lines without interference.
Most of the cars on the suburban sys
TEN are running with police protection
Officers are stationed on every car and
all along the right of way to guard
against interference. No disturbance has
been reported since Frank Liebrecht, 9
bystander, was shot and killed at the
Taylor avenue crossing of the suburban
tracks.
The First regiment, M. n. G., has moi
been ordered out, but company is being
kept at the armory constantly to protect
the states property from possible vio
lence.
Down town retail stores are operating
at great loss as a result of the street cal
strike. Their proprietors and managers
are talking of reducing their forces OF
employees and even of closing entirely
until the strike is settled if existing con
ditions continue. Almost every store
down town is practically deserted save
by employees.

THE PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
Estimated That Number of Men Now

Philadelphia, May 10.-The order is
sued by the executive board of the AL
lied Building Trades Unions Council
calling from work all men and boys
wherever Brotherhood carpenters are
employed appears to have salutary eff
feet on the cause of the Allied Council
While the number of strikers has been
considerably increased in consequence OF
this order, contractors on large opera
tions seem disposed to aid the Allied
Council. As an evidence of this five gen
eral contractors notified the Brotherhood
carpenters in their employ that unless
they affiliated with the Allied Council
their services would be dispensed with.
The carpenters, who numbered about
1875, at once expressed their willingness
to become members of the Council, and
on their promise to join were furnished
with Allied Council cards permitting
them to continue work.
Secretary Joseph B. Allen of the Allied
Council said that from the business
agents reports SO far received he is LED
to believe that there will be numerous
defections from the ranks of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners. Mr.
Allen estimates the number of striker:
at 11,000, but says this number is being
rapidly reduced.

Peculiar Condition of Affairs In

Tampa, Fla, May 10.-A peculiar con
dition of affairs is reported from Hud-
son, Fla, small town in the center of
the turpentine district, north of this city.
There is an unwritten agreement be-
tween the owners of turpentine camps
to another he must either be returned OF
the management of the camp which he
has left must be remunerated.
Two of the negroes at Johnson's camp
escaped last week and took with them to
Weeks camp two negro women, the only
representatives of the sex in the camp.
The negroes of Johnson's camp were in
censed over the abduction of the women.
The chief of the camp demanded the re.
turn Of the fugitives and the women
The request was not granted. The ne
groes of Johnson's camp organized an
armed expedition. When they arrived in
the .vieinity of the rival camp, there was
a pitched battle with rifles. One of the
bullets struck John ID. Cleland, naval
stores operator, white man, and killed
him instantly.
Five of the negroes were seriously
wounded. The latest advices are that
the Johnson's camp warriors are around
the outskirts of the Weeks camp await
ing favorable opportunity to rush in
and capture the women. In the meantime
the whites of the neighborhood have de
termined to end the trouble and, fully
armed, are going to the scene. Serious

pedition led by him early in January into

On this same day Colonel Birkhimer,

CONDEMNS SALISBURY.
EOndOn Press Regards Utterances ON
ireland as Infelicitous.

London, May 10.-Lord Salsbury's ref
erence to ireland in his speech at the an
nual meeting of the Primrose league
strikes all but the prejudiced here as
painfully infelicitous, to say the least, but
the papers generally make no comment.
Those that do emphatically condemn
him.
The Chronicle says that for some oc.
cult reason Lord Salisbury seldom opens
his mouth in public without letting fall
some inapt and tactless words. He EN-.
phasiZed his ability in this direction by
his comparison of the Transvaal with
the Irish Nationalists. He said that
Great Britain had learned something
from the war, but there is one lesson ap.
parently which the ministers have failed
to take to heart-namely, the need of a
little discretion.
The Daily Mail regrets that the prime
minister should have chosen such time
us this for harsh remarks. 1t says ii
finds in his speech no recognition of the
new situation which has been created
and no sense of the Importance of seiz-
ing the golden moment which was reach.
ed by the heroism of the Irish soldiers
and the statesmanlike initiative of the
queen. Tn speaking MS he did Lord Sal
isbury failed to rightly voice British SEN
timent, for from John 0'Groat's to Lands
End the British are one people in their
admiration of and gratitude to their cous-
ins across the western channel.
The Daily Express declares that Lord
Salisbury was guilty of one of those in.
discretions which, as Lord Beaconsfeld
said, may be apologized for, but can new
er be explained.
The paper says that the maladroitness
of his sentences is regrettable in every
way. After recalling the services of the
Irish in South Africa and the queens re-
ception in Ireland the paper asks if it is
an appropriate moment to fling, even by
the awkwardness of phrase, the insult
of a comparison with the rebel Dutch in
the face of Irishmen and says emphat-
ically that it is not. 1t adds that Lord
Salisbury has rarely made worse mis-
take than in raising the buried question
of Irish disaffection at this moment. when
the feud of centuries seemed buried for
good and the kindly trustfulness of the
queen had disarmed the last garrison of
rebel feeling in the sister island.

FINANCIAL and TRADE.

Heavy London buying on the Britisb
advance in South Africa, the Termination
OF the Gates case and the knowledge Of
the existence of large short interest in
New York stocks caused a rally AZ the
very opening. The acquittal of John w.
Gates, it was generally believed meant
The end OF an unpleasant episode. 1t is
also believed that he will retire. Indeed.
1t was stated that both Chairman Gates
and President Lam bert would resign and
De succeeded by A. G. Clifford and Will
lam EdeDborn. The departure yester-
day for Europe of Mr.. Gates rather sup
ported this idea. American steel and
wire shares were buoyant ON the situa-
ttion. although the advance was in all
probability due in the main to covering
Of short contracts. The other steel shares
followed upward in sympathy.
In London quotations were active and
higher. The recent declines in A,neri-
can stocks and the admitted prosperity

everything was strong except the To-
bAcco shares; these we're radi all v weak.

weak, was only just about steady until
the last hour, when recovery set in.

some things there was absolutely no
