NARROW ESCAPE
WELL KNOWN YOUNG LADY HAD
CLOSE CALL FOR HER LIFE
LAST NIGHT. l,E

Miss Ethel Grim, well known
young lady Of this city had narrow
escape from death or serious Z in:
jury last HigEr-ar Fleming Chapel. A
crowd of:young people were attending
the closing; Of school exercises at that
place and were ready to come home
when the car which is due at the Ave.
nue. at 9 P. NJ. arrived. H
When the car was comfortably
filled, but not crowded. the conductor
gave the signal to so ahead and Miss
Grim, who was partly on the car, was
dragged over the line for long dis.
tance. VIII Floyd, a nephew, of j.
Frank ConaWoy, Of the Hotel Watson,
had Just placed three, young ladies
who were in his care aboard and was
himself compelled to run and catch

While holding on with one hand he
made herculean efforts! to pull Miss
Grim aboard and finally succeeded af.
ter the car had gone some few hun.

STRIKE PREPARATIONS
The Coal Miners Getting Ready fol
the Contest Next SDriug.

The United Mine Workers are plain
ly preparing for battle when their
agreement with the anthracite opera
tors expires next spring. Their cam
paign is already we'll under way. They
are drumming up recruits, collecting
back dues, perfecting their organiza-
ton, and amassing the sinews of war
The two points for which President
Mitchell proposes to fight are the eight
hour day and the recognition of the
union. In both contentious he can
reckon on the sympathy and support
of the professional friends of labor
throughout the country. In a struggle
for recognition of the union, however,
he will elsewhere run counter to very
strong sentiment provoked by the re-
cent course of the uniOniSts. The
teamsters' strike in Chicago, the strikes
in the building trades here, and lesser
strikes in other places have done much
to crystalize among intelligent people a
conviction that the way to industrial
freedom lies through the open shop.
Men Of whom President Eliot is the
type may be willing to concede an
eight-hour day, but they hold the open
shop as vital issue. If a man who is
able and willing to work must ask per-
mission of an irresponsible union, then
one of the bulwarks of personal liberty
the foundation of democracy, is gone
This. then, promises to be the critical
question-whether the United Mine
workers can set up a government

MESSENGER noYs sr.IKE
The Western Onion Messenger Toys
Feel Aggrieved af the Wages ri.cy
Are Paid. and Stou work-Tbe Con-
tenfions OF Both Sides.


The messenger boys employed BY the
Western Union Telegraph Company
went on a strike yesterday afternoon
at 3 o'clock The boys for several
days have demanded that they be CIV
en- more pay for carrying certain ines
sages, and since their demands were
not granted they met in the alley, be-
tween the Western Union Office and
The Observer building and, after ma
ture deliberations, they jointly signed
paper declaring that they would not
work as long as they were not paid
more money for their services. From
that time to this the strike has been
land il does not seem that it will
be on any time soon, as both employ
ers and employees say that they will
make no concession.
The contention of the boys is that
they are paid only a cent and a ~haf, /,
while the messengers of the Postal
company are paid two and half cents
for the delivery of each message. They
do not seem to object to the cent and
half scale ordinarily, but when they
are sent on long trips they raise a
kick. The boys feel that they have
just grounds for complaint and a num-
Der OF citizens expressed themselves as
being in sympathy with them The
boys gathered in front of the Western
Union Office yesterday afternoon and
for time it seemed that there would
be some trouble, as some of the boys
made an effort to keep other boys
from taking their places. One boy, tir
ed of the strike, and when the call
came to carry a message a short dis
tance he went back to work. The next
call was to carry message out sew
eral blocks, and then he threw down
the message and walked out again.
The boys say they are out until their
demands are granted.
The Western Union authorities say
that the boys have no cause of conf
plant. They say the rate for carry
ing messages is the same for long or
short distances, and that when they
are sent on long trips they furnish the
boys with car fare. The manager. in
a conversation with the reporter last
night, said the messengers were as
we'll paid as any apprentice boys in
the city, and that they are always Civ
en- an opportunity of learning the tel
egraph business They will hereafter
try the plan of paying the boys month
ly salaries instead Of by the message.
There were no signs of rowdyism
last night, no bomb thrown, but the
policemen kept close watch all the
same.-CharlOtte Observer, August 81

Cts.LING STATION FOR CAPE
LOOKOUT.

From the New Bern Journal We
gather that there is a well formed
idea" that the real purpose in The
building of bridge by the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad Company
from Morehead to Beaufort is to ex-
tend the road TO Cape Lookout and the
establishment there of coaling sta
ton for ocean-going steamers. There
is quite an indentation of the coast
there, though there is no natural har-
Dor. Sailing vessels often put in there
in time of storm where they are pro-
tected by the point from northeast
gales. There is gooc anchorage there
for vessels, but the roadstead is en-
tirely open to the south and south
west. Vessels coaling there would be
exposed to storms from the southwest
south and southeast
For many years there has been talk
of inducing the government to make
this a harbor of refuge in time of
storm, by building a breakwater that
wuold protect vessels from gales COM
ing from the direction in which
there is now no barrier against nigh
seas. It would take an immense sum
of money to make this a safe haTbOr
in time of storm from that direction.
But if the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad Company has the funds with
which to build proper harbor there
it would be of great advantage to
steamers passing up and down the
coast which have to take on coal at
some south Atlantic port, as we'll as to
sailing vessels seeking refuge from
torms coming from any direction.
1t is also said the railway company
is thinking of building a hotel on the
point. This would be an elegant place
for a summer resort. 1t has flee
beach with a sound on the other side.
1t will be long time, though, before
the "well formed idea" of establishing
a coaling station and harbor of refuge
is carried out by the Atlantic road
unless the latter has a mint Of money
at it's disposal for the venture. South
ports coaling station in her land
locked harbor will be completed and
vessels coaling there long before any
take on fuel at Cape Lookout.

THE KILLING OF NALL. THE
LUNATIC.

Additional testimony has Deen
brought out regarding the escape from
the Raleigh lunatic asylum on Thurs
day of last week of the man Nall and
his capture and subsequent death. A
man who was near the scene of the
capture tells what he saw and heard.
Upon his statement the Raleigh Post
calls on the solicitor and coroner to
lunatic's death.
This witness says Nall ran up to
his wagon on the public road about
thirty yards from where he was cap
tured Then there was not any cut On
the back of his head nor any injuries
any where on him. Thirty yards away
in the woods his pursuers overlook
him. There was heard fierce scunling
accompanied by heavy blows with a
stick Finally the man cried out: Il
will give up" and after that at least
two more blows with a stick We're
heard Then the man was ordered to
lie down and he began exclaiming: 20
Lord, have mercy"
The witness says there was no wire
fence any where about the place OF
capture. He did not see the men come
out of the woods, as they moved eff
in a different direction.
The Post is right in calling for a
thorough investigation of this matter.
The whole state should demand it. The
statements of the men at the phosp-
phate mill and of the man above quot
ed point to a most outrageous and
brutal attack by the asylum atten-
dants on this poor, unfortunate man,
Dr. Mckee should not wait for the au-
thorities to take the initiative. He
should invite investigation by them.
