William Riggs, a brother-in-law of the
Rev. Rose lives on a farm two miles west
of Godfrey. He was in the field cutting
corn yesterday when two negroes APP
preached him and asked for work. He
told them that he had no work to offer
them, and they demanded that he give
them all the money he had. Riggs saw
that he had no show in a physical en-
counter with his two visitors, and he put
his hand in his pocket to give them 60
cents. all the money he had with him.
The negro, the instant he let go of his
corn knife. his only weapon of defense.
knocked him down and went at him with
razors. After making several horrible
gashes and cuts with their weapons, rend-
ering Riggs practically helpless, the two
negroes proceeded to draw lines in circles
around his leg and make fancy cuts and
figures. When they had tired of this oc-
cupation they left their victim in the field.
Riggs lay there bleeding and helpless for
an hour and a half before he was found by

ROLLING MILLS
READY TO RESUME
And Rumor Says Work Will
Begin ShortIy-Heavy
Exports of Iron.

1t is stated that the Birmingham Rolling
Mill and the Alabama Rolling Mill of Gate
City will resume operations this week.
A report to this effect was in circulation
last night but could not be officially con-
firmed, as all efforts to communicate with
the local officials of the Republic Iron and
Steel Company failed
The conference at Detroit between repre-
sentatives of the Amalgamated Association
and officials of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company, the American Wire and Steel
Company and others came to an end yes
terday afternoon without any agreement
being reached.
The Birmingham and the Gate City mills
are both ready to go in operation as soon
as the new contract is signed-both were
repaired and put in frst-ciass condition at
great expense during the summer. Some
little work remains to be done at the Bir-
mingham mill, but it is not of such char
ecter to interfere with me operation of
the mill.
When the Birmingham and Gate City
mills closed on June 80 they had about TO-
600 tons of their products on hand, and it is
understood that only small portion of this
has since been disposed OF.
Nearly 1000 men are employed by the
mills when running full time, and the
monthly payrolis will aggregate consider
ably over $4,000.
John II. Means, formerly superintendent
o. furnaces of the Sloss Iron and Steel
Company, has returned to Birmingham
and will connect himself with the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron Company. Mr..
Means resigned his position with the Sloss
Company about two years ago to take
charge of some furnaces at Middlesboro
Ky.
Shipments of export iron from this dis
trict were heavier last week than for some
time past, one company alone shipping
5000 tons. An official of one of the furnace
companies stated yesterday that all the
available ship room prior to January l,
1901, had been engaged. and that the fall
and early winter months would show
greater activity in export iron than had
prevailed since the latter part of 1899.

Executive Board of United Mine Work.
Executive Board of United Mine Work
ers Issue Statement-Adjourn
Over Pending Negotiations.
Situation is Critical

Indianapolis, Ind, September S.-After an
all-day secret session the National Execu-
tive Board of the United Mine Workers of
America adjourned tonight at O'Clock till
tomorrow, after issuing statement post
poning the ordering of the strike pending
the result of negotiations. Officials say In
fluences are at work to adjust the trouble,
but decline to say what they are.
This action means that the miners of the
anthracite region will not strike tomorrow,
although danger of a strike has not been
removed. The men are ordered to remain
in readiness to go out.
At p. m. a message was sent to District
President Nicholas at Hazelton, Pa, as
follows:
Information reaches this office that the
miners in the anthracite region are eeas-
ing work in anticipation of a strike being
declared today. The National Board ad-
vises that inasmuch as negotiations are
still pending for a settlement, that all
miners continue work as usual until they
receive official notice to suspend work. and
to hold themselves in readiness to respond
should our efforts to effect settlement
prove a failure"
The statement issued by the board re-
cites the grievances of the miners as fol-
lows:
THE wages of the miners have not kept
pace with the cost of living. and in some
instances have been reduced; they. have
been required to deal in company stores
and accept the services of the company's
doctor; they have been required to accept
wages based upon an antiquated sliding
scale that invariably slides downward;
they have had their wages reduced by an
arbitrary and exorbitant system of dock
age; they have been compelled to wait for
their pay weeks after the time specified by
law and In open violation of the same, and
in many other ways their rights and liber
ties have been trampled upon and in many
instances they have been compelled to take
their children from school at a very ten
der age in violation of law and put them
to work in the breakers in order to earn
sufficient food to support their families

considerable damage, none of any very
serious character occurred. Wharves and
revetments both withstood the fury of the
blow, and in spite of the shallowness of
Lake Pontchartrain and its choppy sea- no
water craft seems to have Succumbed to
the gale. The most costly damage done by
the storm has been to the rice and cane
crops
AT the hotels tonight there were some
forty Louisiana planters from various Sec
tons of the State. They gave different
estimates of the damage done, but both in
the southeastern and southwestern portions
of the State the cane seems to have been
badly blwon down and the rice fields
damaged. Both the young cane and the
maturing stalks suffered, and many thous-
and acres lay fiat this morning. With IA
vorable weather the damage to cane will
probably be materially reduced The dam
age suffered by the rice, however is like
ly to be considerable. There was a large
crowd at the depot of the Grand Isle train
when it pulled into the station tonight.
Those present expected dire tidings from
below. Superintendent Landry and other
officials of the road, however, said that
the news they had to bring was both good
and bad. 1t was good in that definite in
formation came of the rescue of the two
army officers and bad in that 1t had been
learned that very heavy damage had been
done to the growing crops The Grand
Isle road traVerses some of the finest
sugar and rice plantations in the State. So
far as can be learned tonight the storm
seems to have been attended with practi-
cally no loss of life The owners of the
telegraph line running from here to Port
Eads were able to get communication as
far down as Fort St. Philip. Gangs have
been sent out to restore the broken COM
municatiOn.
A special from Houston, Tex, says:
There is an unconfirmed rumor that the
hurricane raging along the Gulf coast has
played smash with the town of Rockport
on the lower coast and that the great club
house built by E. II. r. Green near there
has been blown away with the loss of life
as there were several guests in the house,
but their names are not known here and
the same report says that a cyclone ragged
through Live Oak County, but it could not
have done much damage. as that country
is not thiCkly settled
Advices from Fort st. Pbilip late to-
night say that the sea water backed I'D
into the Mississippi so rapidly that it went
clear over the levees, and luggers were
carried into the marshes by the waves,
and, with the receding waters, were strewn
along the river bank high and dry for a
mile. A stern wheel steamer on the WAY
to Biloxi, Miss, now lies on dry land "A

lance on two miles across the marsh in

Most damage appears to have been dspe
the east bank of the river. The east
wall of the jetties was damaged, and many
rice fields upon which harvested rice was
piled up were inundated and the crop de-
stroyed.

drowned while endeavoring to rescue a
family in a shanty that was being dashed
to pieces by the waves.
Outside of this the sole authentic state
ment of news from the flooded city con-
sists OF such pieces of information as pass
ed over the wires between Virginia Point
and other interior places. Virginia Point
is the Santa Fe station nearest Galveston
island, and these reports say that when
the wires failed the hurricane was doing
more damage than the high water, and
that the town was in the greatest danger
of complete inundation, and the people
were growing frenzied at the prospects be-
fore them.
The Huntington wharf improvements and
the governments barrack works were re-
ported to be the greaest sufferers. The SOL
diers at Fort San Jacinto have been with
drawn into the center of the city, accord
ing to the railroad official reports, and did
valiant service in the way of relief and
volunteer police work.

hazard no intelligent contradiction
when | say that prior to the resurrec-
ton of Christ there was nowhere in
the world any vitalizing faith in i'm
mortality. Pagan philosophers specu-
lated as to its possibility or probable
ity, as Pagan philosophers speculate
today. But 1t afforded as little COM
fort to Cicero as to John Stuart Mill;
as little inspiration to Plato and Sem

school of modern agnostics. The hope
Of Immortality never painted a rain
bow of promise on pagan tears. 1t new
er engraved a motto of hope on pagan
tombstone. To him who believes in
the resurrection of Christ, immortality
is no longer.a forlorn hope He looks
in through the open door and sees a
world of light beyond.
THE Easter message is a message OF
resurrection to the real man; that as
Christ possessed in Himself an incor-
ruptible and immortal life, so all men
possess in themselves an incorruptible
and immortal life. This message was
carried forward into Greece and Rome,
TO slaves. You are men, children of
God; you have in yourselves an eter-
nal life; you are worthier than you
thought you were. This is the supreme
Easter message. You and | are the
sons of God. We are immortal. There
is something better in life for us than
is bounded by the present horizon
something better for us than simply
| to dig and to delve. We have in us
a sleeping and splendid life-oh, that
we would let the risen Christ awake IT,,

There is no man in all this world who
is not worth working for, since Christ
worked for all; no man in all this
world not worth dying for, since Christ
died for all. All men are men; all
| men are Gods children.

a new conception of life. but also a
