NEGROES HOUSE IS
 BURNED BY WHITES
During an Encounter the Negro
 Shot Two White Men
CROWD AZ TER VENGEANCE
Shots Were Fired Before the House Was Burned In Hopes of DisIodg- ing the Negro, But He and
 Friend Had Escaped.

Anniston. July 22.-lspecial.)-H. Clay Davis of this city spent Saturday in Pell City and tells of an encounter that took place between some factory hands and a negro, which resulted in two white men being seriously shot by the negro. He said that the negro and white men had d quarrel at a baseball game that was be- ing played between Ashville and Pen City tt the place and that the negro was run out of the crowd by the men and pursued to his home where he secured a Winchester rife. and as the pursuers came un he fired upon them, wounding two white men, whose names could not be learned. He said that the negro's house was located about mile from Pen City on the road to sedden, and that just before leaving the place Saturday night the house was in flames and was burned completely down by the friends of the two men that were shot.
 Davis said that before firing the house the men fired a number of shots for the purpose of dislodging the negro. but he mad lied with another negro before the arrival of the crowd and that the party was in pursuit of the two when last heard of It is thought that the negro eVaded the crowd, as nothing of a lynch- ing bee has been heard from Pen City. and this seemed to be the purpose of the mob.

STRIKE BEGINS ON
STEEL TRUST BOATS
Masters and Pilots Are Out and But
Three Vessels Are Moving.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE strike of
the Masters and Pilots association in
tying up the boats of the United Steel
corporation here and at South Chicago
became effective today. Four steamers
are tied up in the Chicago river. They
are the E. B. Bartlett, Frank Rookie
Teller, Mariana and Katoa. Three of
them brought coal and iron ore. At
South Chicago nothing is moving of
the steel trust fleet, but the Douglass
Houghton. which had loaded grain at
the Merritt elevator, will probably be
allowed to depart on an understanding
between the union and the owners of
the grain. This will probably be the
last departure of steel corporation
ship from this end of the lakes until the
strike is over.
No attempt will be made to fill the
places of the strikers, it is said, for the
present at least. The policy of the steel
trust seems to be to send it's boats into
ordinary and rest on its oars. But
three steel trust boats are reported as
moving. One was the Pontiac, which
got out from behind Grand Island, and
the Poe and Magma, which passed up
at Detroit. This sudden wiping out in
lake transportation of so great a factor
as the steel trust fleet has astounded
marine men and they are busy figuring
what effect it will have upon freight
rates for the balance of the season.

James Rowe, judge of the district

has been commenced and argued
against Lorenz III, a saloonkeeper. It
is prayed that he be restrained from
conducting his saloon, it being claim

But the prosecution claims that the
law means fifty feet from the build

AS the saloon is in a building which
covers a quarterback, he would be
required to get signers for fully 800
feet. The defendant claims the law
means fifty feet from the room. The
decision will affect saloons all over
the state.
The old code read that the signers
must be property owners within fifty
feet of the premises; and under that
section the supreme court held the in

TIME TO MONTREAL
is SHORTENED
Announcement viii Soon Be
Made of Opening of Water
way Through Canada.
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept 17.-An-
nouncement is expected to be made in
short time of the opening of a wa
terway through Canada that will mean
cut of day in the time from here
to MontreR But the waterway will
allow of a depth of only eight feet, SO
that perhaps the effect upon the lake
trade will hardly be as great as was
figured by the Canadian government.
However, it is rather an important
movement in lake traffic, and for some
business from the upper lakes to
Montreal it is likely to prove of great
benefit.
The new route cuts off all~of Lakes
Srie and Ontario and gives direct
connection between Lake Huron and
the st. Lawrence river. This is reach
ed through Georgian bay and from
there by canals connecting with Lake
Simcoe. and from there to the st.
Lawrence through rivers connecting
with the latter river.
In the trip in this new waterway
the time saved will be one or two days
for the round trip. There will be a
hydraulic-lift lock at Petersboro, Ont.
The opening of this waterway through
Ontario may lead to the opening of
one of greater depth.
