il alleged to have enticed May Philpot,
colored, aged thirteen years, into corn
crib. where he tied her with plOw lines
and a. saulted her, afterward leaving her,
it is thought, .or dead. The girl was
halfwitted, but her father had sent her
on an errand TO a neighbor's house.
When she dill not return, he, with his
son, started in search of her. They
were greatly dismayed to learn she had
not reached the neighbor's house, and
were about to give up the search until
daylight, when, passing the deserted
corn crib, they heard grOars, and, upon
investigating, found the girl still bound
and in most critical condition. Sh
rallied sufficiently to name Hairston as
her assaiIant, and yesterday posses were
securing the country in search of him.
The negroes are aroused, and if apprt-
hended, Hairston probably will be

the lookout for him. The latest reports
are to the effect that the girl is thought
to be dying.

MINERS FINED.

In the miners contempt cases IN
Charleston, w. Va, yesterday Judge
Keller held John Richards and his as
sociates guilty of contempt and fined
them S. and costs each, holding them
committed until the fines were paid or
bail gwen. Richards is president of
District II, United Mine Workers.
Judge Keller first decided the question
of Jurisdiction, holding that having
jurisdiction of the nonresident parties
against whom the bill was filed gave the
court jurisdiction over anybody who
was confcderated with them, no matter
where such persons resided. The testl-
mony, he said, clearly proved a confcd-
Grafton between the defendants named
in this case. On the question OF what
it took to constitute a violation OF the
Injunction order, he held that it did not
require entry upon the property for
bidden, but that to go near enough to
it with such force as would have the ef-
feet TO intimidate the men who were at
work in the mines was such violation
as was contemplated by the court. lie
held that Richards in gathering sew
ersl hundred men together and march
ing through the country to the neighbor-
hood of the mines of the plaintiff COM
pany and there camping upon ground
upon which they had right to assemble
and making threats against the men at
work, such as the testimony showed had
been made, had violated the injunction,
and that those who marched with him
and supported him in what he said and
did were equally guilty. AT the same
time he did not think they had inten-
tionally violated the order and he would
therefore not deal with them harshly,
but would make their fine light. At
the same time, however, be wished to
say that the trial and the publicity given
this matter served to put everybody on
notice of the meaning of these injunction
orders, and if there should De any fur
ther violations he would visit severe pun
ishment upon the offenders. Five defend
ants, Samuel Washington, Joe Smith,
r. l.. Bess, James McIyer and Joe
Prenesel, were discharged, it not being
shown that they were in the confedera'
tinn
