RIOT At CANAL DOVER
UNION MEN WERE shot.
MEAGRE INFORMATION CONCERN
ING SERIOUS TROUBLE LATE
LAST NIGHT.
SEVERAL SHOTS WERE FIRED
And Two AmaiGamntion Men Were
Wounded-Two Others Were In
tured-MessHge Sent TO Union Men
in Martins Ferry, Who VIII Go
Out This Morning-Quiet This
Morning.

At 1850 last night a message was
received by prominent Amalgamated
Association men in Martins Ferry to
the effect that q riot was in progress in
Canal Dover, and urging the Martins
Ferry men to come out on special
train. The news created great excite
ment for a time, and telephone COM
munication with Canal Dover was at
once established.
The facts secured by this means
were rather meagre. The union men
in Martins Ferry were excited be-
cause of the fact thai an enort had
been made TO start the Canal Dover
sheet mill non-union, which has met
with Indifferent success.
The trouble started, according to the
best information obtainable. about ten
o'clock last night. Several parties
struck the Waterman at one of the
gates to the sheet mill, but did not
seriously injure him.
Later. trouble started up town.
Two Amalgamated men who were
standing on the bridge were shot, and
two other Amalgamated men were as
saulted. All were seriously injured
and were taken to their homes. Many
shots we're fired, the streets filled with
people, and the excitement was in
tense.
At one o'clock this morning a mes
sage to the Register was to the effect
that everything was quiet.
Ii was impossible to learn the names
of the injured men, with the exception
of James O'Neil, well known in
Wheeling. who is heater in the New
Philadelphia mill He is said to be in
a critical condition.
The sheriff of Tuscarawas county ar
rested two men suspected of being I'M
plicated in the shooting, and placed
them in the Jail at New Philadelphia.

X. of r. Carnival Preparations.

Arlington Division. L. r. X. of p.
and band went to Moundsyille last
evening ON a motor kindly placed at
their disposal by the Traction Com
pany. They paraded the principal
streets.
lhe object of the trip was to stir up
interest in the carnival that opens here
next week.
The decorators are now at work on
the building day and night. The for
mer dingy building has been turned
into a bower of beauty.
Nearly every merchant in the city is
working on some special feature in a
back room that he will display in his
window or at the hall Several of
these pieces have been seen by the
hegister representative and they are
beautiful.
The electric displays will surpass
anything ever seen in this city. Good
natured rivalry exists and each will
endeavor to have a more unique dis
play than his neighbor.
