ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Due West, Jan. 23.-lhe postofice
here was broken into last night, the
safe cracked and money and stamps
of unknown amounts taken. The
mail was left undisturbed. At Don
aids Mr.. Robert Dunn's store and safe
also the postofice were visited with
like fate, Mr.. Dunn losing more
than one hundred dollars, while the
other amounts have not been deter
mined. There is not the slightest
clue for placing the theft, but it is
thought that the same parties were
at work in both places. Also the top
buggy and bay mare belonging to
Mr.. Dan Winn at Donalds are mis-
sing.

SENTIMENT AGAINST GENERAL
STRIKE.

indianapolis, Ind, July 16.-With
the arrival of delegates for the miners
convention, a strong sentiment against
the ordering of general strike is APP
parent. J. ID. Wood, the national board
member from Kentucky, personally ex-
pressed himself as being opposed to a
general strike, and it is his opinion that
the Kentucky delegates, who have sixty
five votes in the convention, will cast
them as a unit against a general sus-
pension of work. The cOncensus of
opinion among the few delegates now here
is that no general strike will be ordered,
but instead, an immense strike fund will
be raised, with which to fight the
anthracite operators to a finish.

RETuRNING TO WORK.

Chicago July 16.-Demoralized and
discouraged by the refusal of the Federar
ton of Labor endorse their strike, sew
eral hundred of the freight handlers this
morning returned to work. Delivery OF
freight in small lots was made successfully
at the depot of several railroads. A
small per centage of the truck drivers
drive teams to the freight houses but
refuse to permit non-llnion men to un-
load them. A meeting has been called
to get the men to ratify the action OF the
committees. If this Objects accomplish
ed most of the strikers will resume their
places this afternoon.
Chicago, July 16.-At meeting OF
the members of the freight handlers
union this morning, it was voted to re-
turn to work and make the best terms
possible with the railroad managers, pro-
viding that the Federation of Labor re-
fuse to support the strikers. As the
Federation did not sanction the strike,
it is not likely that it will offer its sup
port at this stage. The strike therefore
is virtually ended, with defeat for the
freight handlers.

THERE Is said to be trouble among the
gamblers In Alexandria county and that
war-to-the-knife is in progress. This
condition of affairs has come to light
since the fire Monday night at Jackson
Civ. This conflict will do more
toward breaking up unlawful procedures
in his part of the State than all the
Avs in the code. Those parties who
were burned out at Jackson City are
sad to be looking for siteson the north
size of the Potomac, and it is suggested
th3t they have fastened their eyes on a
SPOT on the Conduit Road. People of
Washington have been inveighing

10 these many years, and now that those
who have been carrying on these unlaw-
ful practices are about to move their
tents within the jurisdiction of the Dis
ret of Columbia it remains to be seen
whether or not residents of the capital
city will make as many complaints as
ihey did when the establishments were

while they were in Virginia, but tolerated
