IlLAws0FFIcERs DEFIED. = Deputy
United States Marshal ID. w. Cunning
ham, of Hinton, ". Va, on Monday
went to Atkinsville, in Raleigh county,
near Beckley, the county seat of that
county. to serve attachments on thirty
miners for the violation of Judge Kel-
ler's Injunction while the strike was in
progress last summer. Cunningham was
accompanied by three other deputy
marshals, but this small force was great
ly outnumbered by the crowd which met
them and resisted the arrest Of the men
wanted. When Cunningham and his
party arrived at Atkinsville they found
themselves surrounded by about 250
minerseand sympathizers armed with
Winchesters and shot guns, who dehed
the officers to lay hands on one of the
men for whom writs had been Issued.
Under the circumstances Cunningham
thought it best not try to execute the
writs, but instead, he went to Hinton to
await instructions from his superior
officers as to what method to pursue In
the matter. 1t is understood that law
lessness reigns supreme at Atkinsville.
It is said that one day last week the
sheriff of the county went to that point
to serve a warrant and was roughly
handled and not allowed to serve the
warrant

FIRE IN Circus QUARTERS. Fire

FIRE IN CIRCUS QUARTERS, Fire
partly destroyed the new brick car barn
at the winter quarters of the Barnum q
Bailey Circus in Bridgeport, Conn,
Yesterday, and burned number of cars
belonging to the circus. The loss is es-
timated at 100000 on which there is
an insurance Of $33, 900. The frewas
caused by lamp falling to the floor in
the midst of quantity of benzine and
other infammable material. While the
fire was at its height cornice fell, carry
ing to the ground with it II firemen
who were at work on the roof The
men we're considerably bruised, but were
not otherwise injured. Considerable
excitement was occasioned during the
removal of IA elephants, which were
quartered in building adjoining the
car barns.9 1t was necessary to remove
the elephants through door facing the
burning building and across the tracks
between rows of burning and smoking
cars. In order to accomplish this safe.y
the four keepers took one animal out at
time, until the entire herd was re-
moved. The loud trumpeting of the
elephants gave rise to a rumor that the
animals had broken loose. This rumor
rapidly spread around The city and oc-
casioned much alarm. The other
animals, however, were at no time IN
danger. The fire was under control in
about half an hour. Six new Pullman
cars. valued at SlS,0 each, and two
new fat cars, valued at S4, 600, were en-
tirely destroyed. More than $50 feet
of the barn was burned to the ground, and
10 stock cars which were standing out
side the barn were considerably damaged.

GUARDING CARIBBEAN SEA.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has signed the agreement
drawn under the terms of the Platt
amendment providing for the acquisition
by the United States of a naval station
at Guantanamo and a coaling station at
Bahia Honda, both in Cuba. The docu-
ment had been previously signed by
President Palma and was brought to
Washington by Minister Squiers. 1t
does not specify the price of the proper
ties to be acquired by the United States,
and the detail is left to be settled by the
usual legal condemnatory proceedings,
after the navy department has decided
exactly the amount of land it wishes at
each place. With these two places prop
erly fortified as naval bases the Gulf OF
Mexico would not be possible of occupa-
ton by hostile fleet and the Caribbean
Sea would be unsafe for an enemy. AS
the names of the places indicate Guam
tanamo, a naval station will be the more
important of the two bases, and within a
short time there will be erected extern
siye coal docks and perhaps short line
of railroad will connect the port with
the backbone railroad already finished
by private enterprise. Bahia Honda
will for some time probably be used
simply as a place for the storage OF coal.

We used to see 'Skeets" making weight

classic Epson Derby and get more in
one season for plotting the mounts of
Mr.. Musker and Sir II. w. Griffin than
he could earn in five years ont West

What has been the chief cause Of
Martins success? Honesty and the
unfaltering idea of living moral Life.
His wife accompanies him, and he is

BUILDING A DEFENDER

Everybody will soon be talking
about the lines and progress of the
new defender that will be pitted
against Shamrock III. for the struggle
seginning August 20, off Sandy Hook,
for the Americas cup. Specials from
Bristol, II. l., where are the shops of
the Herreshoffs, builders of the Con-
stitution, Columbia, Defender, Colonia
and other fast yachts, will appear
daily, recording the work done on the
new boat. The sleepy little town of
Bristol and the "south shop" are
stirred up by the correspondents who
become so eager in their search for
details, although the work on the
yacht is done under cover, that they
take to winter romancing." Do the
workmen pour the lead into the de-
to fill a book
However. this south shop will give
out lot of secrets of yacht 'construc-
ton before the launching is finally
scheduled. The sail loft, too, across
the street from the main shops, will
be productive of it's tales of especially
made canvas, spars, sheets, etc.
1t was the success of the yacht Clio
riana, built by the Herreshotfs in 1891
for Commodore f. d. Morgan, that
first gave the Bristol concern it's
national reputation. Gloriana had
eight starts in her first season and'won
as many tirsts. After that the famous
c1, hot oh l1ar raI
the admiration of the yachting world.
The Wasp will be remembered as a
faster boat than the Gloriana. The
Navahoe, too, was turned out from this
shop. The Vigilant, Colonia and any
number of steam yachts, torpedo
boats, ETC., have helped to make the
shop family word in the homes of
lovers of sailing. Capt. Nat HerreshofT
is the designer-the master whose eye
traces the lines of boats before the
pen is applied to the draughting board.
He is said to have paid so much atten-
ton to detail that he has saved the
Americas cup to us. The novice might
glance in at the workmen busy on the
new defender and fail to see in her
lines anything different from the oral-
nary 90-footer, but the experts will get
out their figures pretty soon to show
you what Il bird-like thing the boat is
to be.
Defender will have the same spoon
bow, the old overland aft, and the
same modified fin keel that are famil-
lar to readers of the statistics of the
other defenders. But she will have a
broader beam than the Constitution
and will have longer and heavier keel
| than the other boats. But at the same
time, it is said, she will draw less wa
ter. The wings" of this craft, when
| fully spread, will contain $4,000 square
! feet of canvas. If these figures are
not reduces she will have the largest
area ever sent aloft on single-stickel
| yacht. In every department of con
struction-plates, braces, ETC., - she
will be all that money, skill and pa.
thence can make her. And we should
retain the cup.
