Several da ago a well-digger named Stok Nottingham, a suburb, toid ing the police that a street railroad man had tried to purchase dynamite. from him. T report was in tigated and the arrest of Schoenthal followed. The prisoner admits that he is the man who approached S es, but he says he made the inquiry at the instance of another man whose name he does not know. He says he was approached by the stranger, who asked him if he knew where ten pounds of dynamite could be purchased. The prisoner told the tranger that he knew a man in Not- tingham who used dynamite and he might have some to sell. Thereupon he went to Nottingham, saw Stokes, ot failed to get the expiosive. He re- ported his failure to the stranger, ac- cording to his story, and that was the . + K + CLEVELAND, Aug. 2. + : It is said that Governor * + Bushnell will come to Cleve- : + land in person shortly to in- + : vestigate the situation and to * + decide hozv long the troops : + shall be kept here. + " % s dh 2h 2E S S SR S o I o o R o end of the matter. The police will not say what they | think of the story. but they declare they are not yet through with the in- vestigation and they look upon the ar- rest as an important one. Schoenthal had been employed by the company about four years before the strike be- gan. There was practically no change in { the strike situation here to-day. Presi- dent Everett of the Big Consolidated declares that his company has about all the men required, and that the ser- vice now maintained on the various I of the system is equal to that which was in force prior to the strike. Mr. Everett states that he is receiving applications from some of the strikers for reinstatement, and that a number of union men have already been put to work.

As a matter of fact the ¢ from those on the Euclid and e continue to run almost avenue lines, empty. The “spotters” sent out by the strik- ers are scattered everywhere. They board the cars, if there happen to be any passengers, and endeavor to learn their names. sengers are followed to their homes or places of business, ard as a result in most cases their names go down on the “list."” Many merchants who are taking part in the boycott have changed their tac- tics, on account of threats of prosecu- tion, and simply sons. The militia is being gradually with drawn at the rate of two or three com- panies each day. Major J. R. McQuigg was to-day ap- pointed acting judge advocate by Ad- jutant General Axline, commanding the Ohio National Guard troops on stri duty here. It is understood that the acting judge advocate will look up the legal phase of the boycott so far as it relates to the soldiers. General Axline said to-day that yp prietors of stores who refused to s goods to either soldiers or civilians could be punished under the law. He added that reports were constantly be- ing received at headquarters, in the City Hall, showing that many store- keepers throughout the cit; 0- CTIO President Rich Will File a Formal Protest With the Governor of Georgia and Offer a Reward. CHATTANOOGA.. Aug. 2. - sion of the Church of Christ of the Lat- ter Day Saints will go to Atlanta at once to call on Governor Candler and demand of him protection for Mormon elders who are preaching in that State. President Rich returned from Chicago to-night. He is indignant at the manner in which eld- ers have been treated in Georgia and is going to leave nothing undone to secure for them the protection due every citi- zen. He will present letters to Governor Candler from the Governors of Idaho and Ttah, testifying to his character and hx’En standing. resident Rich to-day offered a reward of $50 for the apprehension and arrest of any member or members of the Geor- gia mob that assaulted the Mormon eld- ers. In an interview he said: “I purpose to bring this matter to the attention of the Governar of Georgia and to ask from him the same protection for Failing in this, the pas- | place a prohibitive | price on their goods to boycotted per- | are refus- | President | Ben E.

Busine: Agent Pratt of the striking Streetcarme Union said that the boycott had practically passed out of their hands. “The people themselves have taken it up, and where the movement will end no one can tell.” Speaking of threatened prosecution Mr. Pratt said: “Why don’t they prose- cute some of the corporations which place men on their blacklists and fol- low them up all over the country in order to keep them out of employment, for years. This boycott is | undoubtedly a great hardship to many thousands of ‘people. It is, however, | the only remaining weapon with which | to" fight a powerful corporation like the Big Consolidated. Should we lose it would have a demoralizing effect upon organized labor everywhere. I have no fear, however, as to the final result. We will win out.” Good lawyers say the boycotters may be proceeded against under the Ohio anti-trust law, which covers conspira- cies.of all kinds in restraint of trade. One lawyer who has examined the law says that merchants who refuse to sell goods to boycotted personms, as well as | those who assist in placing the boycott upon them, aiding or abetting it in any way can be convicted of conspiracy without proof of the existence of a conspiracy. The penalty provided is a fine of from $50 to $5000 and imprison- | ment ‘of from six months to a year, and each day that the conspiracy continues | constitutes a separate offense. This law passed at the last session of the Legislature, but the authors of it in- tended that it should apply only to trusts. ders in Georgia as they would want in the far Western States.” We are lv- ing here under the constitution of the TUnited States, which guarantees religious v to all citizens.

Many boats were in the harbor and have been wrecked and most of the long wharf is gone, to- | gether with large quantities of naval stores. At Lanark the boathouses, pa- vilion and hoats have been destroyed. Unconfirmed reports say that the steamer Crescent City has been lost be- tween Appalachicola - and Carabelle. Several persons are reported drowned at St. Michael. A few houses were de- | stroyed at St. Teresa. . The wires are down south of here and railroad service to the gulf ports is suspended. The storm was one of the hardest that ever passed over this sec- ticn. For hours the wind was terrific and the rain fell in torrents. The city of Appalachicola, at the mouth of the Chattahoochie River, is entirely cut off from communication and nothing can be learned from there. A new trestle over the Ochlochno River at McIntyre was blown away. The wrecking train which went to-day into -the stricken territory found over 200 trees on the track in a run of thirty miles. General Manager Crittenden, | who had charge of the train, says that every town along the line is desolated; houses, churches, sawmills, wharves and pavilions were in many cases blown from their foundations and in many instances completely wrecked. There are many rumors afloat here to-night as to the loss of life. One mill hand is known to be drowned at MclIntyre. One man was drowned at St. Marks, but rumors place the loss of life at fifteen. 1t is not believed here that any lives are lost at the numerous resorts, but reliable news is unobtainable. A large relief party will leave Talla- hassee for the stricken section to-mor- row morning. The steamer Crescent City, which is reported lost, plied be- tweén Appalachicola and Carabelle. She carried a crew of eight, but the number of passengers on board is not | knowa.
