to the lynching party on demand of the
leaders. The cell in which the negro
was confined was entered and the moose
was adjusted about his neck. He was
dragged down the jail stairs and out
into the street He managed TO slip
the moose from his neck and made a
break for liberty. The mob made af-

ficulty in securing carriage horses to
suit him. Since the three which were
purchased in New York on approval
were returned sometime ago he has
tried several. but none of them have
measured up to his standard. A fine
span of Virginia horses was sent him
a few days ago. They had size, style
and gait, but when tried on the hard
asphalt streets Of Washington their
feet were found to be tender and it was
feared that if purchased they would
soon become practically useless. Ac-
cordingly. they were rejected The pres
ident will continue to use the govern

LAWN TENNIS.

Although the cool weather Of the last

not abated among local enthusiasts.

driving and sharp volleying of a fast

respect for the game.
Lawn tennis, like golf and other kin
dred games. has always been more or
less at the beck and call of fashion.
Its popularity, therefore, fluctuates as
widely as the stock market For the
last few years golf has crowded tennis
from its proud position. However, a
marked interest in tennis all over the
country has been noticed this year
and the old English game bids fair to
hold its own with its Scotch competi

situation at the Mil.

Early yesterday morning, even be-
fore the offices were opened, the men
began to arrive at the Bellaire steel
mill to ask the company for reinstate-
ment. The officers came early and
were kept busy until nearly noon. The
majority of the men, were given their
old positions. Some who came were
told that their services were not need
ed that men had been secured to take
their places. A few of tthese were
given other work for the present. Those
knowing themselves to be on the black
book" did not go near the Offices at all.
There was about twenty of these. 1t
will be necessary for them to seek en-
ployment elsewhere or change their
vocation. Some of these men are to
be pitied, as they were induced to come
out on promises that were never full
filled to them. They are taking their
medicine like men and are making no
kick. The association wiz pay all of
these men strike benefits until they
secure work elsewhere. Two or three
of the engineers have been offered posi-
tions at YOUNGSTOWN. The mill Off
Gals are iubilant. of course. They are
perfectly satisfied with the terms of
the settlement and predict an early
dissolution of the Amalgamated lodge
here. and say the men will think twice
before they strike again. Arrange
ments are being made to put the works
on double turn by Sunday evening. The
repairs at the furnace are so nearly
completed that one of the furnaces
will be started to-day or tomorrow.
Many of the steel workers are very
sore over the terms of the settlement
and have made strong charges against
those who had the adjustment in
charge. Such charges are without
foundation, and those VINO had the
matter in charge did all in their power
to secure better terms. The general
opinion is that while the terms are not
what the men desired, they are the
best that could be secured under the
circumstances. All the other mills in
the district had gone back to work and
arrangements were completed to send
number of skilled men into the
works. In the business districts a de-
oiJodlr hotter feeling was manifested
The strike had not been of sufficient
length to seriously embarrass any of
the merchants. Many of the men had
money laid away and were not COM
PEELED to go much in debt. In few
instances, however, there were families
that were in sore straits. The starting
of the works will alleviate any cases
of suffering that may exist.
