ASSAULT ON A MOLDER
CHARLES CLARK, WHO WORKS AT
LOCKWOOD PLANT, BEATEN.
He Came Here from Cincinnati Dur
ing the strfke-Many Gashes on
His Head and Face.

An echo Of the ockw strike was heard
last night at the corner of Union and Nor
ris streets, when Charles Clark. one of the
molders imported from Cincinnati, was
beaten about the head and face by unknown
persons. His injuries consisted of six long
gashes on different parts of the head and
several painful injuries on the chest and
hands. The latter injuries were received
by Clafk as he threw up his hands to pro-
tect his head and face.
Clark, who rooms at 80 West Vermont
street. was visiting some relatives on Union
street last night. He left the house about
IL o'clock and went to the corner of Union
and Morris streets to catch a car down
town. He had hardly been there a minute
when he was stunned by a blow on the
head. This was followed by many other
blows. Clark ran into John Ohleyer's yard
TO save himself, but he was pursued by his
two assailants. Clark yelled MURDER
but this did not brighten the two men.
They rained blow after blow on his head
and face.
All the time the men were beating Clark
he kept yelling Murder" Albert Bowman,
who lives near the corner, was coming from
Meridian street when he heard the cries of
Clark. AS Bowman approached he saw two
men running toward Mulberry street. Bow
man ran to Ohleyer's yard, where he found
Clark. The latter was covered with blood.
Clark told Bowman that he had been as
saulted by the two men who had just left.
owman ran after the 0en and followed
them down Mulberry street for q block
and a half. BY this time the neighbors had
become aroused. Bowman, after losing the
men, returned and found Clark surrounded
by a crowd of curious people. Bowman
took Clark TO the office of DR.. c. S. Goar,
at Meridian and Morris streets. DR.. Goar
examined Clark'S wounds, but found that
none was fatal. Each wound was through
the scalp 10 the skull.
Patrolmen Shea and Hanlon were in the
neighbOrhoOd but could get no trace of the
men. Clark was unable TO give any descrip-
ton of them. He said that while he was
standing at Union and Morris streets he
heard no one approaching. When he was
asked if he were a molder he replied: "YeS,
and I'm proud of it" Clark said the men
who attacked him did not at any time try
TO go through his pockets. He is employed
at the lockwood factory, where the union
molders struck recently and assaulted sew
eral imported mOlderS.

FOR THE POLICE
NO ONE HURT AND NO THEFTS IN
DEDICATION CROWDS.
Woman Lost CbateIaIne Watch and
Captain Kruger His C~hateIaIne
Badge-COnviviaI Veterans.

The police department has been praised
generally for fits handling Of the big crowds
last week. Mayor BoOkwalter personally
Safety and several business men sent com
plimentary letters. Nc one was injured and
nothing was stolen. Twelve detectives un-
der Captain Gerber's direction were sta
toned on Monument place on Thursday
afternoon. They kept a close watch for
bad characters, but the thieves seemed to
be afraid TO work in the crowd. n woman
told Detectives Holtz and Wallace that her
watch had been stolen. The detectives
found the watch on the pavement where
she had been standing and gave it TO her.
Captain Gerber resents women wearing
chateIaine watches. They are a special in
ducement 20 thieves. he says, and in a
crowd they are easily torn off by a passing
PERSONS elbow. One woman lost her watch
thus accidentally last week. Captain Kru-
ger does not wear a chatelaine, but his
badge Is attached TO his coat in the same
manner. A young man tore off his badge
on Thursday afternoon because the captain
kept him from climbing over a curb rope.
The badge was found in the gutter, but the
young man escaped.
Some of the veterans, unwisely enthusi-
astic over the dedication and renewing ac-
-Quaintsnces with their comrades of the
war, drank more than they could properly
carry. Some of them had money in their
pockets and when a policeman found a
soldier In this condition he was taken 10 the
police station for the safe preservation of
his comfort and funds. These were not
entered on the record and in the morning
they were sent away. They were full of
gratitude then.

BACK TO %REF0RMAT0RY
JAMES LEHR, ALIAS "HARRY LEW
IS" VIOLATED HIS PAROLE.
He Is the Young Man Who Figured in
a Cutting ARRAY Three
Weeks Ago.

In the arrest of James Lehr, alias Harry
Lewis yesterday by Detectives Colbert
and Hauser another chapter was added to
the cutting ARRAY that took place in front
of Kinks cloak house three weeks ago. At
that time a negro was seriously cut and it
was supposed at the time that it was done
by a woman. Two women in company with
a young man participated in the fight.
When the case was aired in court Harry
Lewis came to the police station and said
that neither OF the girls did the cutting;
that he alone was responsible for the trou-
BILE. 1t is the supposition of the police that
Lewis ncriminated himself to shield one
of the women. The case hung fire in Police
Court for several days and Judge Stubs
found the case so complicated that he
threw il out of court.
Yesterday morning Lindley Jones, State
agent for the Jacksonville Reformatory,
walked into the office of Captain of De-
~tectives Gerber and placed a small picture
on the desk and asked that the man be
arrested. In the room at the time were De-
tectives Colbert and Hauser. They ex-
amined the picture closely and Colbert
turned to Captain Gerber and said: This
looks like young Lewis who was acquitted
in Police Court last week" Captain Gerber
took the picture and examined it and was
Of like opinion. He then detailed Colbert
and Hauser TO go and get Lehr. The latter
was found in a room on East Washington
street in bed. 1t was then IL o'clock. He
was brought to the police station and queS-
toned as to his identity by Captain Gerber.
He at first declared that his name was
Lewis. Captain Gerber then took up the
small photograph and placed it before
Lehr's face. The latter almost jumped
from his chair in surprise. After he re-
covered the expression on his face changed
to one of chagrin. He placed his folded
arms on the desk and said in broken tones:
you won't send me back to that place, will
you?'
Before Captain Gerber could answer Lehr
was in tears. He was then taken upstairs
and locked i'm a cell.
During the afternoon Lehr's sisters and
mother called at the police station. They
remained with him for several hours. When
Jones came upstairs to take Lehr back to
Jacksonville there was a pathetic scene in
the turkeys office. The old mother turned
her back and walked TO the window with
tears streaming down her cheeks. The two
sisters chung to young Lehr as he was led
through the door. Jones at that time was
putting on a pair of handouts. The larger
of the sisters put her arms around Lehr's
neck and begged that he not be taken from
her. Lehr, who had remained calm during
this time, burst into tears as he saw his
mother standing before the barred window
crying. Jones hurried with Lehr through
the halls of the police station. out into the
street on the way 10 the Union Station.
Lehr was sent from Clay county to the
Jacksonville Reformatory four years ago
on the charge of burglary. He was parOled
about one year ago. 1t was for violation of
his parole that he was taken back to prison

Grand stand.

NO OFFICER HAS SEEN ANY DRUNK

OF the Six Men Who Have Been in the
Hospital None Has Been Very
sent Home.

Everything is in tip-top shape at the Ma
tional Guard camp Of instruction at the fair
grounds. The boys are enthusiastic over
the work that they have done. They have
been so busy that they have had no time for
mischief. The discipline of the camp is
extraordinary. One of the best signs Of a
well-behaved camp is the absence of drunk
enness. There is not an officer that can
say that he saw a drunken soldier last
week. The boys are having a good time.
Some have expressed regret that the end is
so near. The more enthusiastic ones say
they intend to join the regulars so they
can be surrounded with the military atmOs-
phere at all times. The following changes
in the camp routine for to-day were sent
out yesterday from headquarters:

The Legislature will adjourn
AMI ignore one of the prime reasons
for It's recent assembly, if it adjourns
without appointing commission to
adjus' the laws of the land to the
new constitution. We DO not believe
for an instant this commission would
have to be selected outside of the
body. There is ability in the present
Legislature for the suitable discharge
of this task; but that the House
of Delegates should refuse to accept
any of the half dozen plans hat
have been submitted TO it is iehec-
ton upon that body. The future to
appoint such a commission means an
extraordinarily long session after
November 70, and the public can
only infer from this that the Legs
lature is composed of great many
men, who have nothing 10 do ut home,
and hence are willing TO spend as
much time IN Richmond as possible,
and that at the public expense.

New Equipment For Telephones.

1t is learned that the United rrlr
phone Company has decided To
lnaugurate extensive improvements in
all the telephone lines in its possession,
and as the Berryville property is n
part of that syndicate, the lines here
will come in for general overhaul
ing. These improvements will com
in the near future, and before the
next SIX months have elapsed it may
be safely said that the telephone
service in this place will be far super.
iOr TO what it is at present
There has recently been great
deal of criticism heard in connection
with the imperfections of the
telephone service in This part of the
country, and TO those W no are required
to use this method of communication
constantly, it will be very gratifying
to know that the entire service. 10 to be
Overhauled and improved. There is
no doubt of the fact that that i'm
provement is badly needed over the
whole system, and by taking the
proposed step the syndicate will add
materially to its list of subscribers,
in addition to increasing the value of
it's property.
The improvement will be of Il
radical nature. 1t is understood that
an entirely new and much larger
switchboard will be installed in the
office at Winchester, in order to
handle the business properly. New
poles will be erected at many places
along the lines and much new wire
will be strung. 1t is also said that
instruments of an improved pattern
will be placed at the disposal of the
subscribers. All this is to be accom-
plished within the next SIX mouths.
At the same time it is said that
long-distance connection will tie es-
tablished between the Winchester
line and Baltimore, Washington.
Philadelphia, and possibly New York.

Judge Cooks Opinion.

At the last session of the County
Court at Front Royal. Judge Giles
Cook, Jr., refused to empsnel the
grand jury, his view of the law being
as follows: The new Constitution
went into effect on the 10th instant.
Ii declares that only those who have
been duly registered as provided
therein, shall be entitled to vote.
The schedule of the Constitution
provides that the statute law in force
at the time the Constitution goes into
effect. as far as not repugnant there
to or repealed therhy, shall remain
IN force until repealed. The stat
ute law in force relative to Jurors, is
that all male citizens within GER
tain age who are entitled to vote and
hold office shall be liable to serve as
jurors.
"Slnce registration is necessary
under the new Constitution TO quail
fy one TO vote. aud none are register
ed as yet. there are no voters. and
since jurors must be voters, no one
is liable to serve as juror"
