MONTEREY, VA. August 31.-The
italian laborers OF the Greenbrier Valley
are under the conviction that the Malta
is tswork among them.
as The, chief Incident that gave rise to
this unpleasant belief was the horrible
killing OF eight of their number some
cign laborers tcrrorized by the bold,
atroctous crime. Il
Ten 1ta1lans-one4 Of them a boy OF
twelve-had taken up their abode in an
old hut near the railroad and close by
the banks Of the Greenbrler, one and a
half miles north Of Barlow Station. On
the evening preceding the crime. two Of
them left the hut. saying they were going
to Durbln, three miles distant, leaving
eight to go to their last sleep in the
little log cabin. About 3 o'clock next
morning there was an explosion, which,
our informant says. shattered the Win
dow panes in their dwelling one-hnlf
mile distant and brought many a sleeping
woodman to his feet Tho site Of tho
old house was marked by a hole in the

NAMED At various points and for dis
.tances of a hundred yards could be found
the mangled trunks of the men, while
the tall treetops were streWns with their
bowels, limbs and tattered clothing. The
only body not mnngled BY the explosion
was that Of the little boy, which was
found somc distance away, lying in the
pebbles Of the Greenbrler. both hands
folded under his ehees, dead, but with
absent workmen were seen next morn
ing. but have disappeared, and In the
absence OF every other clue or theory
they have been spotted as missionaries
OF the Malta. who had located one or
more victims against whom the ven-
geance OF the society had been sworn.
S2 When or how the explosion was placed
no one knows, and the mystery Of It
ali only adds terror to the situation.
Our informant states that the Italians
are in a state Of constant fear and
dread, and that guards. day and night,
are detailed to watch the camps.

the temperature was 80 yesterday. At

n. D., the temperature showed drop
from 80 to So.
The cause assigned at the weather
bureau is the high barometer pressure
to the west of Minnesota and low
pressure area to the north fWinni-

the air and the bringing of a cool wave
from the west. ~. -.

Drivers Found Trouble on Their Routes

Trouble in large capital letters was
dence districts yesterday, for the ice
Eighth ward there was almost an ice
riot beginning Sunday noon and lasting
until yesterday. #sss5 EEs..
The hot weather played havoc with
ice stocks. The alleged ffty-pound
chunk left Saturday morning by the ice
man was reduced to the size Of a high
ball float in twenty-four hours. Angry
and perspiring men and women cursed
the ice trust, the ice-man, his driver,
his horse, his wagon, and his methods
It was claimed that any Imply -umph
round-head of an ice-man should have
known that it was going to be hot over
Sunday and that extra large. chunks of
ice should have been left. Failing in
this extra trips should have been made
on Sunday it was claimed, and the Gus
toners given an opportunity to buy ex-
ira coolers.
The icemen, however, are loud and
vigorous in their protests against the
weather and the kicks registered by the
public. They claim that a large per-
centage Of the ice is lost on the way
from the ice houses to the various ice
boxes Of the city. On a day like yes
terday fully third is lost. Every
wagon and horse available was pressed
into service. One company was obliged
to make it's trade in Kenwood wait until

breakdown. Customers in that section
received ice Saturday morning and did
not see the ice man again for sixty
hours.

HILL WONT BUILD
IRA!NSCONTINENTAL
HE OUTLINES HIS PLAN FOR NEW
CANADIAN ROAD.
Victory in Canadian Parliament, with
Only Royal Approval Lacking, Means
That Work Will Be Begun at Once on
Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern
What the Road Will Do.

James j. Hills victory in the Cana
dian senate, when the Victoria, Van
ccouver & Eastern railway bill passed
that body, means immediate steps to
hasten the completion Of the line which
the franchise covers. Sturdy opposition
had been put up by the Canadian Pacific
road to the bill, which seeks to permit
diverge into the United States in two
places on the way from Midway to the
coast. The result is considered a re-
markable victory for the American
railroad builder.
The important feature Of the charter
IS the permission to take over subsidiary
i ne. 20 owned 1 by the Great Northern in in
to the completion and successful opera
ton Of the Vancouver road. The for
NAL transfer is detail matter to be
worked out by the officials in st. Paul
after the charter is delivered.
Construction work now under way on
the, Vancouver line will be pushed much
faster as soon as royal approval to the
act has been secured. Crews are now
working west from Midway. 1t is pos
sible that the line will bic pushed as far
west as Princeton this year.
Two crossings will be made into
American territory, opening up a part
OF Okanogan. county, which will be, a
LAWFUL Ill tuc QcVolOJluSuG VI CuC
border country. After the line has been
extended west to the Similkameen val
ley and north to Princeton it will be
projected west to Vancouver. A large
amount of speculation has been abroad
regarding the American terminus of the
line, but Hill interests have given as
surances in favor of Vancouver.
One of the strong Canadian Pacific OBJ
jections offered to the bill was that Hill
proposed to drain the southern part of
British Columbia and pour traffic into
American ports.
That the Victoria, Vancouver & East.
ern is to be made part of a new trans
continental line thru Canada, as was re-
Gently reported, has been denied en-
phatically. by James J. Hill in an inter.
view published by the New York Times.
HSuch-a suggestion IS nonsense, -
said the capitalist. "There is no such
plan: A large part of the territory in
British Columbia and in northern Wash.
ington is practically Identical in charac.
ter and distinguished in no way, one
part from another, except by the draw
ing of an imaginary line. The new roaG
will. cross and recross the frontier, fol
lowi ing the streams that run thru that
territory. It will furnish means OF
transportation to rich, low-grade ore
cOuntry.' -e --.-n=~ .s..
