ASSAULTED CAPT. JOYCE.

Capt. w. A. Joyce recently em- ployed William Cox of Little Rock as a prescription clerk at the store stipulating in the contract he should remain for month, and then if satis fled, to accept the position perman ently.
 On Saturday, Cox gave Capt. Joyce notice that he desired to leave at once to accept a better salaried offer, but the latter refused to relinquish him without completion of the morth's service. Cox then brought suit for his salary for that part of the month alleged to be due and the case was tried by jury in Justice Robin son's court Thursday morning. That body returned verdict in the de- fendant's favor.
 Late in the afternoon of that day, Cox entered the store of Capt. Joyce and finding the latter alone in the rear, proceeded to demand his money. Upon being refused, Capt. Joyce states that Cox rushed upon him striking him two blows, one behind the ear, which produced large bump. The captain fell and Cox upon him. A hand to hand conflict ensued, which was interrupted by the arrival of Frank Gullett upon the scene, who nnlled Cox from Cantain Joyce. The former then made his escape over the rear fence, leaving his hat behind and has not been seen since.
 A warrant was sworn out for the arrest of Cox, officers meeting the night trains, but no information has been secured as to his whereabouts or manner of escape. Capt. Joyce is de- termined that his assailant shall be prosecuted and thinks that he will eventually locate him in Little Rock.

ASSAULT ON THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Attorney General Knox was the vic
tim of most brutal and unwarranted at
tack late last night in the cafe of an
aristocratic hotel at Atlantic City. The
cause of the assault on Mr.. Knox was
his attitude against the trusts. His as
sailants were Charles L. SchOen, the
multi-milionaire, of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg; Theodore Cramp, the Phila-
delphia shipbuilder, and a Mr.. Steven
son, also we'll known in Philadelphia.
Attorney General Knox was knocked
out in the argument-not figuratlvely,
but literally. He was attacked by three
men, and superior numbers defeated
him. Theodore Cramp is the man who
delivered the blow that rendered the
Attorney General hors de combat. The
ASSISTANTS, it seems, went into the cafe
in tipsy condition. 1t was about half
past twelve o'clock, and their conduct
soon became Objectionable to others in
the place. At the Attorney Generals
table were some ladies, and the language
of Schoen, Cramp and Stevenson was
such as should not be used in the pres
ence of ladies, The Attorney General
and his party signiied their protest to a
waiter and he expostulatec with the trio
III two or three occasions and they sent
their apologies to Mr.. Knox and those
with him. The Objectionable conduct
was renewed, however. and later the
attorney General was denounced for his
attitude towards trusts, and finally called
a ID cur. The unproyoked assault
described above followed.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.]
Washington. ID. c., August s.

Correspondence of the Alexandra Gazette. J
Washington, ID. c., August s.
A gentleman who returned this morn
ing from Atlantic City and who was a
member of the Attorney Generals party
when Mr. Knox was assaulted night be-
fore last in a cafe at that place gives the
following version of the affair. "In the
first place." he said, "Mr. Knox was not
hurt at all. He was not rendered I'M
conscious, as had been said, nor was he
struck at all His injuries consist in the
loss of four buttons from his waistcoat.
The trust question had nothing to do
with the affair. 1t was simply a case Of
gentlemen resenting insulting remarks
addressed to their ladies by loafers who
happened to be milliOnaires. Our
party consisted of the Attorney General,
District Attorney of Pittsburg, a Pitts
burg friend, Mr.. Tndall three ladies and
myself The three millionaires took
seats near us, when we had about reach
ed our salad. This talk was amusing
at first. One man wanted to wager that
the others couldn' tguess within 5000, 900
of how much he was worth. He was
telling how much he had done
for Frick and Carnegie and was gen.
orally quite boastfull. In little while
their remarks began to be punctuated
with profane expressions and the At
torney General sent a waiter over to
stop it. One of the party came to our
table and with rather heavy tongue Of
fered an apology, which the Attorney
General coldly accepted The man in
sisted on emphasizing his apology and
the Attorney General ordered him back
to his own table. He went. His
party then began to argue with the head
waiter, making offensive remarks to him
for our benefit. One of the men, Chas.
I. Schoen, of Pittsburg, tried TO keep
the Others in check, but they grew more
1emonstrative. We had reached our
coffee by this time and our ladies became

MINES NOW IN OPERATION.

Wilke,barre, Aug, S.-The mines in
the entire anthracite region now working
are the following: No. 7, Susquehanna
Coal Co., at Nanticoke; Dickson, of the
Delaware & Hudson Co., at Scranton;
Hutchins, of the Hutchins Coal Com
pany, at Wyoming; Dusky Diamond, of
Reese & Davis, at Beaver Brook; Oxford,
of the Peoples Coal Company, at Scran-
ton; Cayuga, of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna &-Western Co., of West Scran-
ton. The Pettibone colliery of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western started
operations yesterday morning.
In addition to these there are some 20
washeries, producing from 1000 to TO-
900 tons each a week, while the mines
now running each produce from 200 to
600 tons daily Most of this coal is be-
ing shipped and the operators report
their output growing and the number of
employees increasing daily.
1The back bone of the strike is now
thought to be broken and the merchants
here are confident that Alexandria will
have its supply of coal by the second
week in September. Those people in
Washington and other cities where
prices have been advanced will no doubt
regret their action. The public at large
will be glad TO hear that coal will be
plentiful and that prices will be no
higher than last year.

THEAPPROACHING CORONATION

London, Aug. S.-Prince and Princess
Henry of Prussia, and Princess Louis of
Battenburg arrived in London today.
There is as yet no sign of the expected
heavy influx of visitors for the corona
ton tomorrow. On the contrary hosts
of Londoners are taking advantage of
the holiday to go into the country. The
weather is squally today, but the weather
office predicts sunshine tomorrow. King
Edward is expected to witness a rehearsal
of the coronation ceremony at the Abbey
today. Except for the decorations along
the route which the party will follow
from Buckingham palace to the Abbey
and return, there is no sign of anything
unusual afoot. The quiet manner in
which the people are taking this great
event is in striking contrast to the con-
ditions during the week preceding the
postponement of the coronation in June.
Decorators are giving the final touches
today along the coronation route. The
final arrangements for the ceremony at
the Abbey are proceeding A signal is
being fixed from one of the galleries to
the roof, with which to notify the roof
men the moment the crown is placed on
the royal head. When the roofman gets
his signal he will Immediately commuui
cate by telegraph to Hyde Park and the
Tower, where artillerymen will fire can
non and thus notify the world the mo-
ment the King of all England has been
crowned.
London, Aug. SKIING Edward held
an investiture of orders at Buckingham
Palace today. The Dukes of Yelling
ton and Switzerland received the order
of the Garter; the Dukes Of ROxburgh and
were decorated with the
Order of the Thistle; and Lords Roberts
and Kitchener, John Morley and Others
the New Order of Merit.

THE RECENT LYNCHING.

The only feature of interest in con-
nection with the Craven lynching yes
terday has been the publication in the
newspapers of Leesburg of an article by
Col. f, V. White in reply to one pub
lished last week by Rev. f. S. Kinks,
in which Col. White denies that the
leaders of the mob were under the in
fluence of liquor, and declares that the
officers ond citizens of Leesburg did
everything in their power, short of blood
shed, to protect the prisoner. Scott
Bradley and Edward Paxon, who were
lodged in Jail on the night of the lynch
ing on a charge of being drunk and
disorderly and whohaye since been
returned by the coroners jury as bring
implicated in the lynching, were sent on
to the grand jury yesterday. Harry
Knipple. whom the authorities of Lou
doun county, want for completely in the
lynching of Craven and for breaking in
to the Jail at Leesburg, was taken before
Justice John Wood in Frederick, Md,
yesterday for the purpose of having a
hearing. Joseph w. Gaver counsel for
Knipple, agreed that the prisoner be
held in Jail in Frederick until after the
hearing on the requisition which is to be
had before Gov Smith in Baltimore to-
day. Sheriff III. H. Russell, of Lees
burg, telegraphed Justice Wood yesterday
To hold Knipple to await the action of
the governor. KnippIe's counsel states
that the accused will not be taken to
Baltimore today, but that he will repre-
sent him at the herring and will urge
the governor not to sign the requisition
papers. 1t is admitted another man
named Knipple was in Leesburg when
Craven was lynched, but it is denied
that the man held at Frederick had any
thing to do with the affair except that I
he might have been carried along by the
mob which executed the negro.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
MIR. KNOX,s STATEMENT.

New York, Aug, S.-Attorney Cen
eral p u. Knox, upon whom an attack
was made by three wealthy Pennsyl-
vanians at Atlantic City on Wednesday
night, is at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in
this city today, accompanied by his wife.
DIR. Knox this morning told the story OF
the attack upon him, which he charac-
terized as shameful. cit was at the
Garden Hoter' he said. ~ went there
with four lady friends. Willie we were
dining the men came in and sat at
nearby table. One of these men rec
ognized as Chas. I. Schoen, of Pitts
burg. The others do not know. After
while they became so noisy and used
snch rough and insulting language that
requested the hotel employees to en-
deavor to silence them. The walters
did their best but without result. The
language became so horrible that !
finally decided to escort my friends from
the dining room. After | had placed
the ladies in an another room | returned
and walked to the table at which the
three men sat. | reproved them for
their lack of common decency and this
lead to words between us. Finally one
of the party, | do not know which one,
made lunge for me with his fist. L
managed to avoid the blow and was not
struck. At this point by-standers and
hotel employees rushed up and held the
three men from further attacks upon
me. During the trouble and argument
nothing whatever was said about trusts,
as the newspapers have reported as the
cause of the trouble, nor did hear the
men make unpleasant remarks to me
personally or about the present add
ministration."
Oyster Bay, Aug. S.-General Knox
arrived on the 1920 train and took
luncheon with the President. He treat
ed the Atlantic City row lightly saying
to the reporters "Its merely an un-
pleasant affair in apublic restaurant that
is invaded from time to time by drunken
men. 81 do not wish to say | struck
anyone there, but | think will find that
one of those involved will not show up
as well today as | dc"
Atlantict City, Aug 8.-The story
that Attorney General Knox was as
saulted because of his preparation Of the
trust is all a myth. There never was
a moment during the entire affair that
the lease reference to trusts was men
toned. Before leaving here Mr.. Schoen
said: "The story that Mr.. Knox and /
quarrelled over trusts is utterly false.
The word trusts was not mentioned at
any time. That is all rot and all | will
say on the subject"

suit.

The RECENT lynching in LoudOun
county and the prominent part taken by
Rev. f. S. Kinks, pastor of st. James
(EpiscopaD Church in that place, in at
tempts to prevent the overt act and his
Published expressions since the event,
have brought forth a newspaper reply
from Col. E. V. White, who denies that
liquor was the animating cause of the
lynching, as was alleged by Mr.. Kinks.
1t is unfortunate that people are forced
into irresponsible frames of mind which
esult in lynchings, and 1t is equally UNI
fortunate for ministers of the gospel to
become mixed up in any way in the
commissions attending such unlawful pro
ceedings. Preachers are like all tallible
human beings. They are liable to use
language towards those
averse to them when they enter the pub
lie arena, and often do. The parties to
this dispute are known to most of us all.
Mr.. Kinks is a popular Christian gen.
tleman, against whom no ore has any
thing to urge. Col. White is equally
respected by several generations. May
the dove of peace perch upon the scene
and the dispute soon be among the
things of the past.

AN OBJECT-LEssON for the discon-
tented-especially those engaged in
chronic strikes in this most blessed
of all countries, so far as full and plenty
is concerned, is presented today in
Eastern Galicia, where the average
mortality from famine during the past
few years is placed at fifty thousand.
Laborers' wages range from to 10 cents
day, and women earn from 4 to 8
cents a day. The peasants rarely taste
bread, and exist chiefly on soup, the
principal ingredients of which are water
and herbs. There are murmurers and
in all classes of humanity;
but after all, the discomfort is not
always from the fact that they are de-
barred the necessaries of life, but
some comforts and its extravagances
The lot of the Galician peasants COM
pared with the humblest laborers of the
United States should be sufficient to
bring forth thanks from those whose
heritage is under more blessed con-
litions.

INTELLIGENCE from Tennessee gives
sad descriptions of the result of yester-
DAYS election in that State. Two men
were killed in one afray and numerous
disorders are reported from various parts
of the State. In some instances ballot
boxes were removed and scutlles over
their possession ensued, while streams
of bad blood were set in motion. Such
turbulency places cudgel in the hands
of those who do not believe in represen-
tatiye government, and men who
precipitate such disorders are unworthy
the name of citizens of a republic.
There has ever been an insane idea en-
tertained by some that an election
should be an occasion for setting in mo-
ton all the bad blood in their makeup,
and that n political contest without
whisky-drinking and brawls is failure.
People who conduct public excursions
keep lists of those liable to create dis
order on public occasions and debar
them from boats, trains and grounds.
Constitutional conventions when per-
picked over franchise sections would do
well to insert clauses depriving all men
of votes who engage in broils or dis
orders at and in the neighborhOod of
polling booths
