CASE AGAINST WOODY.
Warrant Stir Not Returned and
Case Again Continued
Especial to The Messenger)

Especial to The Messenger)
Greensboro, y. c., September 6.-The
case against ]. w. Woody, charged with
criminal assault on a thirteen year old
daughter of Mr.. Haney was called be-
fore Squire Pritchett this morning
Such a crowd assembled it was almost
impossible to hear it in his Office, so
an adjournment was had TO the court
house. A large number of witnesses
had been summoned for the prosecu-
ton. When the case was opened, JUS
tice Pritchett announced that two war
rants had been sworn out against the
prisoner, the original was sent to Sails
bury and under it the prisoner was ar
rested. This warrant he announced
had never been returned and could not
be found; duplicate warrant had
been issued and given to the sheriff,
and for some cause it had not been re-
turned, and although he had made an
effort to get some explanation, it had
not been given him. He was therefore
compelled to continue the case until
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, by
which time he hoped the officers would
see to it, that the papers were forth
coming.
Attorney Bradshaw for the defendant
moved his discharge, contending that as
there was no charge against him he
could not be held. Justice Pritchett de-
cided that he would entertain no motion
until the papers were before him. Mr..
Bradshaw then offered an affidavit for
removal of the case, but the same de-
cision knocked him out, and Woody
was remanded to Jail. Mr.. w. d. Pool
appeared as prosecution for the state.
Miss Haney with her father was il
court. She is a very pretty blue-eyei
blonde; a we'll developed but short skirt
ed girl. She has every other appear
ance of maturity. but her father exhib-
tied the family Bible to an officer this
morning in which her birth is entered
February 10th, 1889. There are plenty
of people who predict a wedding instead
of a hanging.

BOTH SIDES CONTENTED.
Miners Say Efforts to Resume Have
Failed and Operators Deny It

Wilkesbarre, Pa, September 6.-At the
close Of the seventeenth week Of the
miners strike. both sides to the contest
say they are satisfied with the situation
The operators state that the output Of
coal this week was greater than any
other week since the strike began and
next week it promises To be still greater.
The strikers, On the other hand, claim,
through their officers, that the efforts
of the big companies to resume mining
has been a signal failure as they have
been unable to get miners TO cut the
coal
At strike headquarters it is admitted
that the washeries are turning out
certain amount of coal OF poor quality
but 1T is claimed that the total output
is only a drop in the bucket.
President Mitchell said tonight that
the miners were just as determined as
ever and that all talk of going back to
work was without foundation.

Kingston, ST. Vincent, Thursday,
September Am appalling phenomenon
was witnessed here last night. 1t last
ed from p. m. to o'clock this morn
ing. a dreadful eruption of the Souf-
riere volcano enveloped this whole iS-
land in an electric cloud and smoke. AT
IL o'clock this morning the atmosphere
is still unsettled, but the eruption is ap-
parently subsiding. The sun is obscur-
ed and oppressive heat prevails. The
sea is slightly agitated. Sand has fall
en- ten miles from the crater. No sand
has fallen here. The northern centres
are deserted.
The eruption of yesterday was longer
in duration and more violent in action
than even the first outburst of May 7th.
With a taunting recollection of the fate
of st. Pierre, Martinique, and the last
disaster here, the people converged on
kingstown and ran to and fro, seeking
the safest shelters from the threaten
ing electric cloud, spreading over the
hills toward the town, while shocks Of
earthquake though not severe, increas-
ed the panic.
At o'clock in the morning, loud rapid
explosions We're mingled with the con-
tinuous, terrible roar and the Cimmer-
ian darkness changed into a constantly
glimmering armament, illumined by
forked lightning, balls of fire ascending
from the crater and bursting into mete-
or-like showers. Such an awe-inspir-
ing scene the widest flights of fancy
could not have imagined. This lasted
till o'clock in the morning.
The rumor that a tidal wave was ex-
pected caused increased agitation and
hundreds Of people fled to the hills ad-
joining the town. Superheated clouds
rose to an immense height and rain
clouds below sent down two showers.
At a. m. silver clouds were issuing
from the crater and throughout the day
they moved slowly northward. The
heat was abnormal and there were re-
newed indications of a further outbreak
OF the volcano. Last night there were
unmistakable signs of Mont Pelee, Mar
Unique, in eruption simultaneously
with the Sourfriere distinct electric
flashes being observed on the north
western horizon.

sponse to a cable inquiry made yester-
day by the state department in view of
