CUMBERLAND, Md. August 15.-
There was a most interesting case in
Judge Wolfords court this afternoon.
growing out of sensational fight In
which two pretty sisters figured.
Edna and Laura McAvee were walk
ing along the street In South Cumber-
land when the girls allege. two young
men. Floyd Kline and Ray Souders,
MADE a remark which reflected on the
good name of Edna McAvee and which
the girl overheard. They resented the
remarks in a most unexpected manner.
Approaching the young men Laura
placed her fist under one of their nose
and demanded that he retract his state
ment and upon his refusal she struck
him a strong blow in the face. and fol-
lowed Il up with several more we'll aim
ed blows. In the meantime Edna
pitched into the other one who felled
her to the ground like beef. But un-
daunted, she renewed her attack and
together with her sister forced the
young men to go back with them to
some companions of the boys who
heard the remark and admit before
them that what they had said about the
girls was untrue. The dual bout at
tracted large crowd. The girls had
the young men arrested. and at the trial
Souders was found guilty, but Kline
having received decidedly the worst oil
the affair, was acquitted. The girls
belong to a prominent family, and are
highly respected.

PItTSBURG, Aug. 15.-President

statement to the newspaper men in

Il will say that officially the Anal

proposition to the steel corporation, nor
has the steel corporation offered asy
proposition directly to the Amalgamat-
81 Association. We have not heard
from the corporation officially since our
last conference in New York. l will
say, however. that certain men for
merry connected with the Amalga-
mated Association are interfering
in this matter and interfering with
our fight. They had better keep
ont of it, or they will get the worst of
it, Personally, I wish the fight were
settled, but now that We are forced into
fight and called upon to defend our
selves we are fighting successfully. |

can assure you that no representative
Of the steel corporation has been to
these headquarters. The statement in
a morning paper that there is move

working in harmony, is lie. 1t is
more than false, it is lie!"
