shown for the first time last year. The
liberal aid of the new President, Gen.

the family, without provocation, attacked
Lucretia's dog, and afterwards sprang
upon the little girl Selling her by her
hair, throwing her to the ground and
tearing her face badly. Medical assist

wounds dressed, which healed rapidly.
The dog was killed and there was but
little apprehension of hydrophobia until
last Friday little Lucretia was taken with
peculiar symptoms which were character
lied with aversion to water.
Saturday morning Mrs. Chewing, ac-
companied by DR.. j. b. Williams. started
to Baltimore for Johns Hopkins Hospital

THE CITY SUED.
The Claims of Liquor Dealers Against Raleigh
to be Presented.

At the time that Attorney E. ]. Best
presented the claims of certain liquor
dealers for a refunding of special license
taxes paid fl many years past it was
said that in case the city council did not
acknowledge the claim that suits would
be instituted for the money claimed. The
parties claiming this back money did
business outside of the corporate limits
and claims that the city had no right to
collect the special tax.
Yesterday the summons in the suits
were served on Mayor Powell for the
citys representative to appear at the
July term of court when thirty days will
be given for the defendant to file an

Mr.. Best gave notice in April that these
suits would be brought. The claims of
his clients go back to 1876. The law on
which the suits are based was introduced
in the last Legislature by Representative
Stewart, of Harnett, and it was not known
that the act would apply to Raleigh,
The claims Mr.. Best represents, as
stated by him to the Board of Aldermen,
are as follows ]. d. Carroll, 1854, w. A.

ATTACK BY STRIKERS
Five Men Shot in a Clash in
Columbia.
Non Unionisls Are Assaulted and Roughly
Handled. The Leaders of the Strike
DepIore the Attack.
(Rv Associated Press. }

Columbia, S. c., June 23.-The
Southern Railway shops in this city We're
attacked by strikers about $3.50 o'clock
Sunday morning by mob of several score
of men. No damage to property was at
tempted except to break through the
high fence surrounding the yards. The
strikers were after the non-union la
borers, and made for a car in which
twenty were sleeping.
A man. whose name is said to be Myers,
was on guard He fired both barrels Of
his gun into the crowd receiving himself
a .32-calibre bullet in his forehead, though
his skull was not penetrated. The mob
fred a great many shots into the car in
which the men were sleeping. None of
the non-unionists were wounded but af-
ter they had been dragged out of the car
they were pretty roughly handled. They
were marched up the railroad track sew
eral miles and ordered to travel on north.
Later in the day all but one of these
men were brought back to the city by an
expedition sent out by the shops
1t was not until the Afternoon that it
was known any of the rioters had been
wounded Close inquiry developed the
fact that the wounds of four men, one at
least serious, had been dressed in the
morning by two physicians. The doctors
said they did not know the names of the
men.
The strike leaders and the head men
in the labor unions that have supported
the striking machinists regard the attack
as most unfortunate from the standpoint
of the strikers.
A number of the most influential strik
ers did not know, so it is said, of the
contemplated attack.
