Last night four railway police Kent there from here. These told the new operator they would force the door and instal taiin. He was afraid. A mob of 75 or 100 gathered and said it would kill ttie first man who entered the office List night a thob boarded the train from Norfolk looking for an other operator, but he was not there. The ciiiel deputy returned today, also the telegraphers. Three deputies are yet at Selma. The wires are cut and the office is still locked. The names of some of the mob were secured. They told th operator that if he tried to telegraph his lite would not be worth two cents. At Gibsonville there was trouble this morning. A new operator arrived on the train. The conductor opened the station and the operator was put in, but as the train left the striker and sympathizers rushed iu and ejected the new man. Chattanooga, April 13. A. B.

A. . i'raxer, superintenuent ot the Birmingham di vision of the Southern, stated today that 15 telegraphers are out on his di visiom but trains are being run on time. He claims the places ot strikers are being tilled rapidly. Prom an un biased standpoint it appears that both the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern are seriously hampered in the movement of trains, passenger trains running with orders for a clear track, while freight trains have considerable difficulty in moving. Several were en tirely lost yesterday for a number of hours. A dozen students of Birmingham bus iness colleges . were taaen out to sta tions on the Alabama Great Southern last night to take the places of the strikers. Meridian. Miss., April 13. One of the three striking telegraphers here has re turned to work, and trains on the Southern and Alabama Great Southern railroads are running on schedule time. Railroad officials here claim the back bone of th strike is broken and that all vacancies will be filled before nightfall. Charlotte. N. C. April 13. The fast mail trains on the Southern railway from Washington and from Atlanta passed Charlotte on time this morning. Railway officials claim this division is experiencing no Inconvenience ont ac count of the strike, while operators say the contrary is the fact. Trains on branch roads were on time this morn ing. No outside information regard ing the movement of freight is avail able. Regarding the strike Superintendent Loyall said today: "It did not show the strength I had expected. Some of the striker are back and we have operators for all Important points. So far as the han dling ot trains Is concerned, we have not suffered the slightest inconven ience, but there has been, some little inconvenience caused by the men who are out tampering with the wires In th offices and outside. The wires nave been cut in various places, particular ly ja the mountain sections. Lane men are at work all the time, but can not watch the entire line. I offer a re ward ot $500 for the arrest and con viction ot any person tampering with "Bo far as I am concerned, there is no strike; no train, nas oeen aeisyeu and th unimportant stations are oc cupied by men who are not operators, tue wires having been cut out.

This is ra Raleigh to Selma, the Storm the Strike. ther an unusual number to be off at one time, although the Ilk occurs oc casionally, when business la very dull. The schedule arrangements are such that only one freight can be run as a section of each passenger train. There appears to be little likelihood of sympathetic action by any other or ganization, as the O. R. T. is net fed erated with any other order. Train men will talk but little, but they ap pear to be in passive sympathy at least with the strikers. IN DISPATCHER'S OFFICE. When the hour of 12 came yesterday the two operators In the dispatcher's office, Messrs. Hampton and Lay, re fused to touch the telegraphic instru ments. They were given the option by Chief Dispatcher Mims of resumTfig work or of being discharged. They chose the latter. The station agent at Biltmore, Mr. Gibson, refused to at tend to the telegraphic work, but per formed the regular duties of station agent. Reports from other small stations. where the station agents are also op erators, showed that the agents were performing the regular duties except telegraphic work. Al some places It was reported that operators were meddling witn tne keys anU muddlrng mes sages, and they were warned thr.t if that sort of thing did not cease they would be prosecuted. Where the oper ators would not answer calls the long uistance phones were used where prac ticable. Ine Western Union applied for the services o some "TTnemen to the Ashe- Ule '1 elepnone company yesterday, but ucceeuea in securing only one, and be fore letting him go ttae teiepuone com pany exacted tne promise that he would not be usea in any way in connection witn the strike. It is a fact not gen erally known tnat the Western Lnion owns ail the railroad wires and Is un der contract to keep tbem in repair. The Southern has on'ered $500 rewara for the arrest of anyone who Interferes with the wires in any way, either by cutting them or tampering with tne keys. Not only the railroad, but the Western Union wires,, all of which follow the railroad tracks, are said to oe badly interfered with today, and tne Western Union is hot after tnose wno are uoing tnis work. Manager UiakeiurcJ of tne Asneviue rhce staved 10 ine citizen tnie morning that the Western Lmun would prosecute to tne lull extent ot tne United Slates law, whicn provides a penalty not only ror cutting wires, but for grounding them or interrering with the transmission of messages in any way. Evidence, it is said has already been secured against several men. Four linemen were sent out from Ashevilie touay, and they nave tne lines in good working order now, except on iu Salisbury line, and it is expected to nave that ciear tonight. xue number of operators on this di vision who quit yesterday was 2v. ouice tnen the Southern nas closed eignt of trie small offices entirely, as they are not considered absolutely nec essary to the operation of trains, and sight men are expecleu today to fill tne remaining vacancies. Not as many men quit on the Morristown branch as on the others, because Jj years ago, m'ft.n it was a part of K. X. V. & i3.. a teiegrapcers strike toon place which was not successful. SOUTHERN BAPTISTS. Gtreat Convention Wants to Hold Next Year's Meeting Here. J. H.

MAY BE PRITCHAR0 IN E WARTS PLACE WHAT THE PROGRAM Io BELIEV ED TO BE IN THE FEDERAL JUDGESHIP CONTEST. Washington, April 13. Special. In spite of fhspTVed statements from this city and points in North Carolina, it is quite apparent to all who take t he trouble to Investigate that Judge Ew- art Is not to be judge very much longer. His name, it is confidently asserted. Is not to be reported by the senate sub committee, and his term of service will end with the last moment of the pres ent session of congress. The judge will not be given a recess appointment, and tnere the matter will nd so far as he is concerned. There will likely be no appointment for a time. and in the meantime there will be a lively hustling among the western Re publicans who would like to get the plum that is to be plucked from Judge Ewart s fingers. Candidates will be as plentiful as blackberries in season. Likewise the North Carolina campaign will be in hot progress, and Senator Pritchard will have a pretty good idea how things are going against his party. vv ould it not Te tne most natural tbfng for the president to call on the tenaTor "demand," if you will to ac cept the appointment and end the un seemly wrangle that will have sprung up? The senator could with propriety accept under these conditions. He has s.uck to Judge Ewart longer than many men in his position would, and none but the basely ungrateful could at this stage of the game call it treach ery If he should accept under th. con ditions outlined. MISSIONS IN SOUTHERN INDIA. Joint Meeting of Woman's Missionary and oung Ladies' Societies. At the meeting of the Woman's Mis sionary society and the Young Ladies' society of the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon Mrs. Park delivered an address upon missions in southern India. The lecture was very enjoyable, full of striking incident and personsl ex perience, and it is much to be regretted that the inclement weather prevented a large attendance of both societies. Dr. Park dwelt upon the missionaries' peculiar trials and obstacles, and urged the need of unceasing prayer for the lonely toilers who must live so largely upon hope, amid environments so un congenial and so discouraging. The dress of native Tslngu women was exhibited, and an interesting collection of jewelry, together with a heavy silver prayer belt, worn by a Hindu as a source of merit, itself a most unique curiosity, seldom to be obtained by a foreign. r. Mrs. Wolcott also exhibited and ex plained an image of Buddha, once an object of worship. The annual election of officers for the Senior society was held, all the present officers being retained, under the effi cient and highly appreciated leadership of Mrs. C. R. Craig as president. By an oversight, in the absence of the treas urer, no collection was taken up for the Woman's society. Members are re quested to place their offerings for April in the collection plates at church Sunday if possible. PORTER RESIGNS. President's Secretary Quits on Account of Continued 111 Health.
