Lincoln j. Carriers play Poorly
Presented at the Grand.

A production of Lincoln ]. Carriers

the Tra1ers Grand opera house Thurs
day evening. But a fair sized audi
ence was present. The play as pre-
scented at this performance, was
very ordinary one, The written play
is possibly an excellent one, but in
this company, the piece was horribly
butchered by the different characters
presented.

was poorly presented about half ofthe

Homer Mckinley, cashier Of the Mer-
chants and Producers Bank at Salem
and one Of the principal owners Of the
proposed Clarksburg and Salem cleo
trio street railroad, for which the

ready been raised by Mr.. Mckinley
and he says he will have no trouble in
raising the remainder. He has al
ready interested number of New
York and Pennsylvania capitalists.
Upon the completion Of the line
from Adanston to Salem next summer
it is the Intention to extend the road
to New Martinsville.
Mr.. Spencer is said to be prominent
" connected with the Wabash Rail
road Company, which is busy securing
a route through this part Of the state
but what significance that has with
the interest he has taken In Mr.. Nc
Kinley's street car line has not been
divulged. There is a possibility that
the latter will be operated in conjunc-
tion with the Wabash system.

The Gown d Adamston wants To- be

The town Of Adamston wants to be
incorporated or at least a lot OF its
citizens favor such movement, judg-
ing from the large mass meeting held
in the school house there a night or SO
ago. 1t IS stated that the people who
attended that meeting could not all.
get in the two rooms and that all pres
eut heartily favored the movement.
BY request Of number Of the citi-
zens Prof l. wayman Ogden, who is
the principal Of the graded school
there, has carefully takena census Of
that town. This census shows that
there are 4Sl male residents and 1903
females, making total population Of
$40 people, OF these 295 are voters.
The boundary lines of the proposed
incorporation are as follows:
Beginning at the West Fork bridge
of the Northwestern turnpike they
extend up the river to the Candy land,
thence west along the line between
that land and the old Adams farm to
the bridge across Limestone Just west
Of the overhead bridge, thence east on
the south side OF the railroad to the
overhead bridge, thence north to a
tee in theo Mines bottom, thence
to the mouth Of Limestone and thence
along the river bank to the beginning.
An election viii be heldon the prop
osition January II and, II it carries
an application for Incorporation will
be made to the circuit court January
20.
An election was held year or SO
ago bua thcquestion was voted down.
There appears TO be quitea change Of
sentiment since then and those at the
head Of the movement are confident
that the people OF that town will well
come the opportunity to avail them
selves Of the advantages Of municipal
government.

RAGE OF A HUNGARIAN MOB.
Many Houses Wrecked and Sacked
State of Siege Proclaimed.

AGRAM. Hungary, Sept. 3.-Many houses
were wrecked and sacked last night. The
rage of the mob was first directed against
the house of Captain Witas, a retired army
officer who yesterday fired on the crowd
wounding man. The rioters erected bar
ricades, tore up the fence, smashed the
windows and were proceeding to storm the
place when the military dispersed them.
The mob, however, soon rea ssembled, re-
turned and the rioters forced their way
into the house. which they wrecked Cap
tain witas and his wife escaped. The riot
ers then sacked the house of a number OF
Servians and destroyed the residence Of a
merchant.
Although a state of siege has been pro-
claimed at Agram, and in spite of the fact
that the principal buildings and squares
are occupied by troops. the rioting is in
creasing. Numbers OF peasants have ar
rived here from the country TO help the
Croatians. Barricades are being erected
and virtual state of rebellion exists.
Early to-day mobs plundered Servian
shops. piled their stock In the streets and
set fire to them. Captain Witas. who was
returning to his home, was seized at the
door of his house and dragged into the
street, where the old man. in spite of his
piteous entreaties for mercy. was terribly
beaten. The captain was eventually taken
to a hospital In a serious condition. Many

termined attack on Fort Wright and the
firing from the guns and mortars of the
fort was kept up necessarily as the four
ships formed in line of battle and sailed
slowly by the fort, exchanging shot for
shot, as far as possible.
Before attacking the fort the ships made
a detour and then swung well in toward
Fishers island and commenced the bonn
bardment after two ships each had taken
position at the front and rear of Fort
Wright. Colonel Davis. commanding the
district was at the signal station. The
firing was kept up for about half an hour.
when the ships sailed we'll out toward the
Race again, the defenders believing the
ships were to retreat in the direction
turned and again made a vigor ous attack
on Fort Wright, this time attempting to
make landing. One of the big ships drew
in pretty close to the fort and with rapid
fire covered the landing party, but in OPP
position to this movement the Calling guns
at the fort were brought into requisition
and the landing party was evidently re-
PEELED, or rather that particular phase of
this attack was not considered successful.
After the conclusion of this second attack
the ships steamed out into the Race and
back in the direction of Block island

very effective. Still army officers claim
that Fort Wright was competent to cope
with four battleships even without assis-
tance from Fort Niche and Fort Terry
The latter forts did not take a very active
part in the maneuverS this morning, per-
haps not over twenty shots being fired
from these forts at the battleships engag-
ing with Fort Wright.

BRAMWELL, w. Va, Sept. 3-The situ-
alton in the Flat Top coal field is yet alarm
ing. Tonight at Simmons creek as the
non-union men were leaving the mines q
volley was fired at them by strikers hidden
on the mountain side. The guards returned
the fire. So far as is known no one was
injured The officials at simons creek and
other operations in the Flat Top field have
asked both county and State authorities
for protection, but the county authoritiesr

in the past week or two by sheriffs as dep
uties refuse to act in that capacity. II il
said that wholesale prosecutions will result
from this when the next Criminal Court
convenes. as the sheriff seems much en-
ragged at the poor support being given him.
AS yet Governor White refuses to send any
troops to this field. notwithstanding many
appeals are made daily.
The fire in the Pocahontas mine continues
to rage, although two large streams OF
water have been pouring into the pit mouth
since yesterday. The mine officials greatly

are from the West Virgiania side. and that

Advices from the Elkhorn field are to the
effect that probably 100 strikers returned to

cannot speak a word OF English. IL Is more

prevent them from again entering the
mines. and trouble may result In that field

MINERS IN THE CITY.
Men That Came Here to Call on Sec
rotary Wilson.

Harry Bousefield, of Kansas and Con
Kelliher, of Arkansas, members of the
national executive board of the United
Mine Workers, who have been in West Vir-
ginia during the strike there, were In the
city yesterday to confer with Secretary
Wilson. The latter is at his home in Bloss-
burg, Pa, and they returned to the strike
field in the afternoon. They tell interest
ing stories of the situation there. Both
men say the strikers welcomed the militia
when it was called out as its members are
sympathizers or belonging to trades unions.
AS soon as the soldiers and miners met
they began fraternizing and are now on the
friendiest terms. Some of the soldiers
have gone so far as to offer the contents
of their knapsacks to the strikers and in
vite them 20 help themselves when they
are hungry. The soldiers also disarmed
the coal company guards and drove them
back to close quarters, the men say.
while the miners and militia fra
ternizing," said one OF the men, 1.-The troops
are accomplishing the purpose for which
they were called out-keeping order. They
keep order by making the guards of the
miners and deputies obey the law the same
as the strikers.
Concerning the shooting i'm that State.
which was the occasion for calling out the
militia, the organizers say it is peculiar
story. Preacher" Cook a colored minis
ter, had been overactive and enthusiastic
in his sermons by directing his remarks
against the coal companies. 1t is said
mine guard, named Tanning, caught him
shortly after the strike began, beat him
into insensibiity and afterward COM
manded him to leave Preacher Cook
left. but returned on Aug 26. He was ar
rested by tanning. who started across
hill top and through the woods to a station
to take his man to Montgomery, instead
OF taking a straight road and shorter route
Near the station was wagon and man,
and half way up the hill was another man.
Presently the man on the hill came down
and told the man with the wagon that
there was a dead man UP there. The
wagon then brought the dead body of Cook
down the hill. The miners say Tanning
on him and he had TO shoot him, but no
arms were found on the minister's body
The miners became enraged BECAUSE Fam
ming was not an officer and had no right
to arrest Cook. They demanded Fanning's
arrest. but could not get him taken into
custody, and. as he was walking along the
road that night, he was riddled with bull
lets. That is all the miners can tell of the
story.
The report that the miners attempted to
burn a mine was exaggerated the men say
The adjutant general had been sent to
colliery to ascertain II there was need of
troops, as the company had called for
them. He was about to report that il was
not necessary to send troops, when bar
rel OF some sort of combustible matter was
fired in of the mines to make il ap-
pear as If il were on fire.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Violent gales have
swept over the west coast of England. AT
Black Pool steamship services are sus-
pended. Houses have been damaged at
Rhyl, Wales. Anxiety is felt for the safety
of the fishing fleet. In Devonshire consid-
cradle damage was done to the crops by a
furious gale. All the tents of the artillery
camp at Okehampton were blown away.
The streets of Lisburn, County Antrim,
Ireland, are several feet under water, and
household goods are floating about. The
people are being removed from their
houses in carts and boats. The gale was
very severe at Plymouth.
AdviceS from Belfast say the rivers
