pondents The following resolutions
which had been reported by a
sub committee and adopted by the
general committee:
| Whereas, We believe that it is
the duty of all good men to main
taip and preserve inviolate the
! virtue and chastity of our women
and to protect the same against
the defiling touch of sunclean
hands; and
Whereas, Recently attempts
| have been made to fraudHlently
and violently debaucn two young
girls in this city and either seduce
or cocree them from the path of
Virtue and to purposes of prosti
tuition; now, therefore be it
| Resolved, That we condemn
such attempts as being IN viola
i tion of every decent sense of
morality and righteousness, and
we believe that the-law has been
violated;
/ That we believe these cases and
all others of similar nature ought to
and should be investigated by the
/ Circuit Court, and If the alleged
facts are found to be true and the
parties found guilty, that speedy
and adequate punishment should
! be meted out to them;
| That we believe the situation
here, is such that special term of
the Circuit Court should be speed
lily convened, and we hereby call
upon the Judge of this Circuit
ICourt District to convene the
same in special session as speedily
las possible;
That we condemn and disap-
prove of, the act of the mayor in
tdischarging and acquitting a de-
fendant arraigned before him on
a charge of attempted rape and
seduction, the facts being in our
opinion abundantly sufficient to
create reasonable and probable
cause for binding the said defend
ant over to await the action of
the grand jury. (Signed).

Coal Minlnu Under Sea.

Up in Cape Breton Island, where
there are a great number of colleries
digging out coal from under the sea,
the submarine area thus undermined
now amounts to about l6 ordinary
farms of 100 acres each. The outer
end of the hole is something over a
mile from shore, Strange as II may
seem, the workings have never been
invaded by sea water streams, al
though fresh water streams have been
encountered flowing out in the strata
under the ocean bed, The thickness
of the strata over the mines varies
from 500 to LAO feet. About $780,
900 tons of coal have thus far been
taken from these submarine workings,
