Constable Jones, of Harper's Ferry,
yesterday brought to Charlestown and
placed in jail two negroes whose
names are Williams and Reed, on the
charge of holding up several car
riages containing ladies in the vicinity
of Harper's Ferry. Two other ne
groes, by the name of Twyman. were
accomplices but escaped capture.
The negroes made indecent expos
ures and proposals to the ladies, who
managed to evade them by the timely
arrival of assistance. Following as it
does so soon upon the recent assault
practically upon the same spot. feel
ing runs high here, and open threats
of lynching were made during the day.
Constable Jones says it was with
muc.. difficulty that they restrained
the mob at Harper's Ferry. The ne
groes brought here are short, thick-set
black fellows who, when asked why
they did this, said they were all
drunk and were out for some fun.
They said they were from Page coun-
", Va, and We're employed at the
quarries.

baffied.

MEAT FAMINE
AGREEMENT is REACHED
$4,000 STRIKE TODAY.

CHICAGO, July 12.-Nearly $4,000
packing concerns in the United States
will go on a strike at noon today.
Aside from such cattle, sheep and
hogs as can be slaughtered in small
local establishments in the various
cities, no fresh meat can be marketed
either for domestic use or for export
ing until the trouble between the
packers and their union employees is
settled or until non-union workers
are secured
The duration of the struggle cannot
be foretold.
The cause of the strike is the fail
IRE of the employees and the owners
of the packing plants to reach an
agreement for the coming year. The
union men demanded contract COW
ering all classes of workers in the
plants. They put the wage rate OF
the laborer at 1872 cents an hour. The
owners of the plants declined to enter
into agreements with any but few
of the more skilled workers and de-
clared the demands of the laborers ex-
cessive.
300 P. M.-The strike of the en-
,ployes of the Chicago packing houses.
went into effect promptly at noon to-
day.

 It was pleasant picture. of wood life, but it failed to relieve Martins mind much, or show him way to se- cure Angles inheritance. It set him to thinking, however, on what would be gained after all by the return of this childish hermit to Greenvale, and would Angie be made the happier by it? 1t was question, and one hard to solve So far as the law went, deed, and all necessary legal papers, could be signed and witnessed here. It was too soon to propose that now, but it must be kept in mind.
 'I am going to leave Jean here to hunt for you and Amzi while I'm gone," Martin said to old Cy, when ready to depart with the officers; 'he can get you one or two deer to cure for winter use, and may decide to let you stay here after all. When the right time comes, show Amzi the two pictures of Angie and take good care of him" And with this parting injunction he and "OId Faithful" as he had some times called Levi, pushed off.
 A canoe trip through wilderness is at once romantic, laborious, and lazy. The waterways, of course must be fol- lowed, and when a pitch of water" as rapid or falls is called, is reached, your craft and belongings must be car ried around if ascending the stream. If descending and not too dangerous, 8 thrilling, and often risky trip is made down through the boiling, seething waters; leaping perhaps over sheer falls of two or three feet, .dodging rocks, tossed upon white-crested surges, spun around in eddies, wet with spray, breathless with excitement, until the mad race is run, and you float calmly at last in the foam-covered pool be- low .A
 When one stream can no longer be followed, long carry must be made often of many miles through tangled swamps where no path ever exists ex- cept tracks in the mud left by others. or blazed trail over ridge that only an experienced woodman can follow. When night comes, an opening in the undergrowth along the streams bank must be cut to pitch the tent, or if fortunate, an old tote-road may be used. For days and weeks one may journey along these waterways, meeting all manner of wild animals native to them but no sign of aught human, except perhaps, some vacant lumber camp lone and ghostly and half hid behind fresh growth.
