STRIKING MESSENGER
BOYS VIOLENT
Carry Things With a High Hand in
Chicago and Succeed in Gaining
Their Point.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 2T.-With a picket
system that puts to shame any similar
espionage ever attempted by grown
strikers, twenty-five messenger boys
who struck on the Western Union for
up a Van Buren street car today, drag
ged Private Detective Peter Johnson
to the sidewalk and threw him to the
ground with such force as to fracture
his skull. In the scrimmage, which
was fierce one, Johnson drew a knife
and seriously slashed Frank Potter,
one of the youthful strikers.
In view of this and kindred acts the
company became alarmed, and tonight
took back some of the strikers, virtu-
ally at their own terms, and the strike
is considered at an end. The schedule
is said to be satisfactory to the boys.
The boys had been led to believe that
Johnson was bearing in a satchel a
number of messages, and they resorted
to this heroic method of circumventing
the delivery of them. The youngsters
piled upon the car and ruled with a
high hand, throwing the passengers
into panic, searching the grip, pum-
melting Johnson in the face and finally
throwing him to the hard pavement.
The strikers even had the bravado
to attack officials of the Western I'm
ion company. Supt. Dunning, Of the
telegraph room, was held up at mid
night on suspicion of trying to- spirit
out messages. Some of the boys stop
ped citizens in the streets and demand
ed money it is said, to aid their newly
formed union. A raid upon a lunch
room and a confiscation of food by
hungry strikers was another feature of
the days developments.

CHICAGO, July 27.-The strike of
the Illinois District Telegraph COM
pany's messenger boys, which since
Friday last has hampered the telegraph
companies in the delivery or their
messages and caused great annoyance
to brokers and business men through
out the city, was settled late tonight.
w. j. Lloyd, president of the I. D. T.
company, arrived in Chicago from
Texas tonight and at once received
committee from the striking mes
sengers. This conference resulted in
an adjustment of the differences, and
the night messengers returned to their
work before midnight. The day boys
will report for work in the morning.
By the settlement the boys will re-
ceive increased wages and extra pay
for overtime.
The usual weather report and fore
cast was not issued by the local bu-
reau tonight, as, on account of the
strike, the forecaster failed to receive
the usual reports from the 110 obser-
walton stations in his district. This is
important to boards of trade.

CAN COAL OPERATORS
RESUME OPERATIONS ?
1t is Rumored They VIII Try, But the
Strikers Regard Such Thing
AS Impossible.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, July 27.-The
beginning of the eleventh week of the
anthracite miners strike finds appar-
emily no change in the situation, al
though the rumor has been revived
that an effort will be made some day
this week, upon the part of one of the
large companies, to start up one of it's
collierfes. The companies have a suf-
f1cient number of coal and iron police
men enlisted now to prevent trouble,
should it arise, and all that would be
necessary to get a mine in operation
would be a sufficient number of miners
and laborerS to blast the coal and load
it on the cars. No doubt plenty of
ordinary laborers could be secured, but
it is a question whether the requisite
number of miners could be persuaded
to go into the workings. At strike
headquarters the belief is as strong as
ever that the operators cannot re-
sumo, and that it is idle talk to even
suggest such a thing
Three hundred delegates, represent
ing the 10000 Polish and Lithuanian
residents of the Wyoming valley, met
in convention here today, and after
1ndorsing the strike, appointed a COM
mittee of ten to visit New York, PhiIa-
delphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo and
the Polish and Lithuanian people for
their countrynnen now on strike in the
anthracite region.
President Mitchell has consented to
serve on the board which will arbitrate
the differences between the Scranton
Electric Railway company and its en-
ployes.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 27.-At
the Mine Workers national headquar-
ters it was announced today that no
time would be lost in pushing the ha-
beas corpus proceedings for the release
of members of the organization arrest
ed under the edict of Judge Jackson,
of the United States district court, at
Parkersburg, w. Va.
Secretary Wilson today explained
another point in the miners case on
which they base their claim to be
set free. According to Mr.. Wilson, not
one of the men arrested was proven
to have made any speeches, inflamma-
tory or otherwise, after Judge Jack
sons restraining order was issued
The injunction was issued June 49,"
said Mr.. Wilson, "and the meeting
complained of was held the next night
Mother Jones was the only speaker,
and none of the men arrested said a
word publicly to the miners. The only
thing proved against them was that
they applauded the remarks of Moth
err Jones. They were arrested the mo-
ment the meeting was over, so that
they had no chance to speak if they
had wanted to do so. / do not see
how men can be committed to Jail for
SO trivial an offense as this, and ha-
beas corpus proceedings will set them
free"
No charges will be filed against
Judge Jackson, Mr., Wilson says, until
habeas corpHs suits have been decided.

In striking contrast to Friday morn
ing's spirited contest was the lstless
game of Saturday afternoon between
the Y. NJ. G. A. and High school
teams which was won by the former
l9-7 II was lucky thing for the
association that they had the weakest
for such a rocky exhibition of baseball
against any of the other teams would
have meant we'll deserved defeat.
The only place where the Y NJ. G. \.
men were really good was at bat They
succeeded in finding the ball Il times
for total of 81 bases, Monroe having
the credit of one three Dagger, one
double and two singles. The school
boys succeeded in pounding out nine
hits but several men were unnecessarily
retired on account of poor base run
ming
1t was not so much the hitting which
won the game for the Y. NJ c. \. as
the poor work of the High school boys
at critical points. Several runs were
at different times by mutt
and one or two wild throws and it
seemed as if the schoolboys always
chose to make errors when the bases
were more or less full.
Monroe and Tufts, the Y. NJ. C. A.
battery, did as good work as anybody
for their team and were largely re
sponsible for holding down the High
score. Waterman's work at
first was o. k, but he was tritie
weak at bat Stevens and March were
not up to their usual standard, espec-
tally the former who missed three
chances for assists. Howe played we'll
on third but was obliged to retire in
the seventh on account of a split fin
ger. For the High school the best
work was done by the Frost brothers.
Muzzy played fairly well on third in
spite of two errors.

ONE FAST THE OTHER SLOW
MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRIDAYS
AND SATURDAYS LEAGUE CONTESTS.

Catholic Union Defeats the Vermont Wheel
Club Memorial Day Morning in Bright,
snappy Game, the Score Being 6-l-High
School Loses to Y. M C. A. Saturday in Nine
Innings of Dopey Playing Score, 1877.
Six to one was the score by which
the Catholic Union baseball nine tri-
umphed over the Vermont Wheel club
team last Friday morning in the best
game thus far of the league series and
before the biggest croH which has at
tended any of the contests. 1t was
baseball from the first inning to the
last and there was no time when few
hits would not have evened the score
and made it anybody's game. Only Ii
hits were made on both sides and of
this total only four were to the credit
of the Vermont Wheel club players.
The Catholic Union had the first
turn at the bat and Bean started the
ball going by pretty single. He took
second on passed ball and scored on
a single from the bat of G.. Dunlevy,
the miniature right fielder, who also
reached home plate after purloining
two bases. Landry, Allen and Corser
went out in order In the second in
ming oliver got hit but was left on
third. Turner secured the only run
for the Wheel club in the second part
of this inning by outrunning bunt,
stealing second, reaching third on "A
wild pitch and coming home on Shaw's
grounder. Singles by Bean and c.
Dunleyy gave the Union a run in the
third and J. Dunlevy scored in the
fourth. The last two runs were made !
in the eighth and ninth byJ. Dunlevy |
and OLIVER, respectively.
The best ball playing of the day was
done by "Tobey' Bean who cracked |
)ut four singles from five times as bat. |
stole five bases, scored twice and Sc I
cured perfect fielding average. Oil |
yer was much steadier than in his first
game two weeks ago, giving only one
base on balls, Cooley, who twirled for
he Wheel club, showed the making of
pitcher and with little more speed
n delivering the ball will be a strong
nan in the box Both Aher and Shaw
aught we'll, and in fact all of the
players showed what was in them.

After several seasons without taste
of first class comic opera Brattleboro
theatre goerS were treated TO the very
best in that line last Thursday when
/ Frank Daniels and his company pre-
sented the operatic comedy, Miss
Simplicity" to large audience which
! spent most of the evening in convul-
sions of laughter. 1t is needless to
tell what made the audience laugh
when it is known that Mr.. Daniels oc-
cupied the stage most of the time.
Everybody who knows the A. b. c. of
the American stage has heard of his
reputation as mirth producer All
that is necessary is to say that Mr..
Daniels was as funny as ever.
Miss Simplicity" Is constructed on
the same lines as most comic operas
plenty of pretty, catchy music with
Just enough plot to keep it from being
a vaudeville show, and plenty of OPP
pOrtunities for Mr. Daniels to make
impromptu remarks which are apt to
convulse his chorus as well as his au-
dience. The scene of the opera is laid
in an imaginary French kingdom to
which a young gentleman who is the
rightful sovereign, is returning. This
young gentleman falls in love with
princess in the guise of peasant girl,
and in order to press his suit makes
his valet, who by the way is Mr.. Dan
iels, take his place as king. 1t is
easy to imagine the opportunities
which are offered Mr.. Daniels in this
role and it can be truly said that he
makes the most of them.
The supporting company was fully in
keeping with the star. William Dan
forth as DR.. Willie Pellet was second
to Mr.. Daniels in the favor of the audi
ence and to many people was equally as
funny, His makeup was patterned after
DR.. Munyon, the specific specialist and
his actions and facial expressions were
comical in the extreme. One of his
strong points is the ability to sing a
topical song and enunciate every word.
Frank Turner made a pleasing Philip
Montford and his singing was satisfac
tory. Tom Ricketts,. who was formerly
with the "Burgomaster' company, was
very good as the sergeant of the kings
body guard
Grace Orr Myers played the role of
de Loinville, the prin-
cess in disguise, and despite the fact
that she was obliged to carry one arm
in a sling, acted very prettily. Her /
singing was also good. Grace Belmont |
made an acceptable Patty Yarrell, the
princess maid, and Allene Cratea as
Rosaline the beggar, sang and danced |
creditably Kate TART as Lady Doro- /
thea Bagges, showed her ability in .
comic opera and her duet with Law
renee Wheat was one of the hits of the /
evening. The chorus was well trained,
we'll costumed and possessed more nat
lral beauty than is generally seen on a
ocal stage.

Another thing which has interested
people since the logs began to collect is
the hardihood with which the old toll
bridge has withstood the pressure
which has been against it now for over
week especially in view of the report
of the diver who examined it two weeks
ago. According to the submarine ar
fist the pier was on its very last legs,
in fact it was being held up principal
ly by the weight of the bridge. One
side of the crib had been carried away
leaving an aperture II eet long and
four feet wide into which the diver
walked for distance of u feet. OF
course there is no person in Brattle
boro amphibious enough to dispute the
statements of the diver but the seem
ing strength of the pier would tend to
refute his assertions. 1t is true that
the entire weight of the jam does not
rest against the pier but nevertheless
there is an enormous pressure at that
point, SO great that mammoth logs have
been broken as if they We're kindlings
and others have been lifted out of the
water to the height even with the floor
ing. 1t couldn't have been possible
that the diver was in league with the
promoters of the one span idea,
The Meddler.
