members Of this order made certain
requests of the road which were prac-
tically granted, and that the men are
now being better paid than on any
other system. They say that in ad-
dition to paying the men, each section
foreman and his hands are given not
only quarters to live in, such houses
in the majority of cases surrounded
by gardens in which can be raised
many of the things needed for house,
hold use, but are furnished free wa
ter and free fuel.
1t is also said that not all of the
men employed on the maintenance of
ways are members of the union, and
even should the strike be called, as
is now planned the road will still
retain the loyalty of enough of the
men to keep from being embarrassed.
OF course those who do go out on the
strike will have to leave their present
quarters as these will be needed for the
new men with which the road will
supply their places. 1t is said that of
the men affected only the foremen and
pump men are white. the track men
and other laborers being in the most
part negroes.
Mr.. Williams yesterday received
from the members of the committee
conducting the negotiations with the
road a statement of the differences
between the men and road with an APP
peal to the members of the order and
to the public
"Nothing to Arbftrnte."
1t states that an effort has been
made since Jan. 81 to effect an ami
cable adjustment of the employees diff
ferences with the roads officials. but
it has failed; that the offer was made
to submit the differences to arbitra-
ton, but the answer of the road was
there Is nothing to arbitrate."
We" the committee says, hold
written instructions from at least 50
per cent. of the employees in this de-
partment to secure a settlement of
these differences, or order suspension
Of work. After using every means
in our power to effect a satisfactory
settlement, and failing, we have de-
cided to order suspension of work.
In consideration. however, of the
rights and safety of the travelling

prettiest weddings that has ever taken
place in cambridge took place last
night at the Baptist Church, when
Miss Gladys Monger and Mr.. c. 5.

beautifully decorated in pot flowers
and vines while down the isles at reg
ular intervals were white standards
bearing flowers.
A wedding chorus was sung under
the direction of Mrs. Boon Beleher,
the words of which were written by
DR.. w. M. Wharton. Those in the
chorus were Mrs. Boon Belcher, Mrs.
John E. Donaldson, Mrs. Carol Graham,
Mrs. Albert Russell, Miss Van Mitch

AT THE THEATER

The remarkable record of success
made by "Florodora" speaks sufficient
ly of it's merit. It is perennial in the
popular favor, and even the too-fa-
miliar sextette, the unconscious be-
ginning of so many similar songs of
the nodding-hat variety in light opera.
still preserves some of Its pristine
glory, for indeed none of its limitations
have been as good.
The star of the cast, in a well-bai-
anced company, was Miss Isadore
Rush, who was seen here last year as
Lady Holyrood, and carried off the
nart last night with the same easy
grace. She substituted a new song for
her linking" which was never very
clever except for what she put into it,
and made quite a hit with the i'm
provement.
The supporting company was not the
same as that of last year, and some
what weaker as to voice, the singing
on the whole not being as good. Miss
Grace Hazard, who made such an at
tractive Angela Gilfain was missed,
even with an excellent substitute.
There was some clever acting by II.
E. Graham as Cyrus Gilfain, the role
that was so we'll filed in last years
production by Charles Dox. Mr.. Neal
Mckay as Arthur gave the best mu-
steal numbers of the piece, being gift
ed with q voice of pure and beautiful
quality.
mr. ,,xod,c@;on was snect acuIar
dashing, charming as ever. For in
spite Of changes of cast, DEFICIENCIES,
or new virtues, "Florodora" remains
"Florodora."
The Payton sisters will begin their
engagement of five nights on Monday,

Mr.. Brewer showed the visitors not

The persistence Of the Japanese attack

Statesboro, Ca, Aug. 19.-Beyond the
whipping Of q number Of negroes In
this county and Of one at Claxton,
about rs miles from here, nothing has
developed in the situation in this part
Of Georgia The exodus Of negroes
continues and already has threatened
shortage in the labor supply In the

to commence. Exaggerated reports
have been sent from here since the
burning of the negroes, Reed and Cato.
on Tuesday. These reports have Gre
ated the impression abroad that life
ia unsafe and property threatened.
The contrary 10 true, for the lesson
Of Tuesday has made profound i'm
precision on the negroes. No violence
has been directed against the better
class Of negroes.
One well-known business man who
admits his leadership Of the mob and
that he had q part In the burning Of
the negroes said that the plans to kill
the two negroes at the end Of the
trial, regardless Of what the verdict
might be. was premedltated, excepting
that It was not determined that burn
ing should be the method. He said
that no grand jury would indict and
no petit jury in this county would find
guilty any man who had part in the
work.

BATTLE AT LONG RANGE.
JaDs Threw Destructive Shells into
Russian Ships Five to Eight
Miles Away.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 18-Further In.
teresting details of the sea battle Of
August 10 received at the admiralty
from Capt. MatouzvltCh, of the Care
witch, now at Tsingtau, show distinctly
that It was q long-range fight and that
the Russians, sailing in close forma-
ton, were placed at great disadvan-
tage, not only by the superiority Of the
Japanese numbers, but owing to the
fact that after encompassing Admiral
Withoft's semi-circle they were
enabled to pour In remarkable dead
" fire on the fleeing ships Capt.
Matouzvitch says the Japanese kept
at a distance Of eight, and never less
than fve miles. The efforts Of the
Russians to close with the Japanese
and sink some Of their vessels by
ramming them or by gunfire, even at
the cost Of themselves going to the
bottom, were consequently unsuccess-
full. The Japanese would not permit
the Russians to approach, but the rain
Of projectiles never ceased. The r.
inch shell which glanced of the Care
vitch's forward turret and blew up
the bridge on which the late Admiral
Without and his star were standing
whs fired at range Of eight miles.
Stripped to Conceal Their Rank.
Toxic, Aug. 1S.-Over 800 Of the
crew Of the Russian armored cruiser
Rurik, sunk in the engagement Sum
day with the Japanese squadron COM
manded by Admiral Kamimura, have
been landed at Sasebo. One man died
there and 1T Of the survivors are
wounded, many Of them seriously and
q number MORALLY. The number Of
oficers rescued has not been deter
mined, as all the survivors were naked
when captured, having stripped on
their clothing before the cruiser sank.
Thus It is impossible to distinguish the
officers from the other men, as the
former are concealing their rank.
