WALK-OUT AT ROANOKE.
Norfolk and Western Blacksmiths' Go
on Strike.
Roauokc, Ya., May 5. Alt the black
smiths employed in the big shops of the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company
iu this city went on strike to-day.
One hundred and fifty men laid down
their tools and walked out here, and th
blacksmiths in other Norfolk and West
eru shops along the lines of road also
struck. Trouble arose over a question of
permitting a nonunion mail to continue
at, work in the Roanoke shops after the
union uieu had protested. The strike
may involve several thousand men if
it is not settled before sympathizers de
cide to follow the blacksmiths.
The blacksmiths arc noncommittal
about their fight with the railroad, but
it is known that the strike has been
brought on becauso of the presence of
a nonunion man in the Roanoke shops.
1T. II. Cummings, general organizer of
the American Federation of Labor and
first vice president of the International
Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Help
ers, has been in the city for three week
trying to get an audience with aiiy of
the higher oflicials,
Tho blacksmiths have made repeated
efforts to have a conference with the
oflicials, but according to Mr. Cummings,
have been unsuccessful. As a last re
sort they walked out. W. H. Lewis, su
perintendent of motive power for the
Norfolk and Western, and in whose
hands the matter rests, is" out of the
city and, therefore, no statements can
bo obtained from him. Inquiry at the
general office of the Norfolk and West
ern here in reference to the strike was
made, but the officials claim that they
are not cognizant of the facts in the
case, and that as superintendent Lewis,
who has charge of that division of the
work, is the one who will have to be
dealt with, they have no information
for the public regarding the' situation.
All of the heads of the departments of
the Norfolk and Western are in Wash
ington attending the International Con
gress of Railroad Oflicials. Whether the
matter can be adjusted before they re
turn or whether it will necessitate the
officials' return here at once cannot be
learned. '.."

FRAUD ORDER ISSUED
Inspectors Say They've Unearthed An
other Story Cotton Scheme.
Washington, May 5. A fraud order
has been issued by the Tost Office De
partment against Edward T. Hunter &
Co., of Philadelphia and Newark, and A.
J. Warner & Co., of Washington, the lat
ter having been operating in conjunction
with the former. The Post Office In
spectors declare that the scheme of these
concerns is identical with that of the
Storey Cotton Company, whose affairs
are now under investigation in the Penn
sylvania courts.
Iluuter & Co., is said to be the name
assumed by one A. J. Barry. Barry is
alleged to have operated some tinio ago
as a broker under the name of Morton
k Co., at 50 Broadway, New York. The
Klice, the postal people say, compelled
him to close Up, whercujKni ho transfer
red his operations to Philadelphia. He
later removed to Newark and then back
again. to Philadelphia. The mail of Hun
ter & Co., was withheld by reason of a
frand order issued by the department.
The inspectors obtained a good des
cription of Barry, and then visited the
offices in this city of A. J. Warner A
Co., where they identified Barry as War
ner. They caused his arrest April 23
and he is now held in $1,000 bail.
A fraud order has also been issued
against Frank Gardiner of North rein
broke, N. Y , who seems to be something
of a joker. Gardiner advertised that foi
23 Cents he would send a $2 bill, and
would give $23 to any person who could
detect it, and who would pronounce pos
itively that it was not genuine. The
persons who sent 25 cents received eight
receipts for 25 cents each, which Gardin
er assured his dupes eonstittrcd a $2
bill. The postal authorities have for
bidden Kstuiasters to deliver mail to

BISHOP POTTER'S BOYHOOD.
He Recalls the Time When He Hoisted
Doughnuts On a String.
Philadelphia, May 0. Bishop Henry
C. Potter srave reminiscence's this even
in;; of the da vs when ho was a school 1
boy in Philadelphia. He addressed th
annual meeting oLthe alumni of the
Episcopal Academy, at '.Locust and Juni
per Streets When he was a ''student
the Acndemw was at the southwest corn
er of Twelfth and Filbert streets. He
said: '.. . '.' .' ' .
"Our .head, master in tnosu days, the
Hev. Dr. George Emlen Hare, was some
thing of a disciplinarian. He insisted
on.-the boys-going up one stairway and
down another. The lad who descended
thewroiig' one was certain to encounter
the Principal, at the Wilding.- I was fre
(ucntly guilty-of such offenses.-
"My punishment was incarceration in
one of the Supper ..rooms of the building.
I well rememlx-r how I let down some
twine to the school yard on such oc
casions. The boys Ik'IoW fastened dou
ghnuts to the string, which I speedily
pulled up to-my window and enjoyed.
"How well I recdhct dear old Dr.
Hare saying to a lad who could not sing
a note: ''Smith, I observe that you are
not singing
"Tp which" the other replied: 'Well,
Sir. I can't sing, but I'm endeavoring to
make a joyful noise.' "
The academy was established iu 1783,
and the Bishop's father, Bishop Alonzo
Potter of Pennsylvania, recrgauized it
in 1810.

SMITHS MAY GO FREE.
New York Judge Dismisses Conspiracy
Indictment
New. York, May 5. The ilktments
against J. Morgan Smith and his wife,
Julia Smith, sister of Nan Patterson, for
conspiracy to extort money from Book
maker Caesar Young, were dismissed by
Judge Foster in General Sessions today
In making his decision Judge Foster gave
the district attorney permission to re
submit the case to the grand jury. This
is Judge Foster's decision:
The grand jury discloses no evidence
whatever of conspiracy on the part of
the defendants. The grand jury had no
right to find an indictment wlieu there
was no evidence to -.support-' it. I can
only explain the fact that an indictment
was found by the theory that the de
fendants, uho were without the state
were needed as witnesses in an impor
tant case.
The grand jury forgot both the law
uid its judicial posit ion, and feeling tho
Mid justified the means, indicted the de
fendants that they might bo brought
here by extradition.
Herbert R. Limburger, counsel for the
Smiths, said to day that he would not
nuke a motion to have the order en
.ered'Viutil Monday, By that time Dis
trict Attorney Jerome will have return
ed from Albany. Iu the absence of Mr.
Jerome, it was said to-day, nothing
would be done as to preparing to reb
lict the Smiths until he had returned.
On the same day it will be decided
whether or not Nan Patterson will be re
leased on nominal bail or her own re
cognizance. Julia Smith said to-day
that she was not in a hurry fo leave tfie
Tombs, at least not until her sister
went with her. Mr. Jerome will make
no decision until he has had a talk with
Mr. Rand. '
Nun Patterson was around the Tombs
to-day fully recovered from the effects
of the trying siege of the trial. Her
lawyers said that they had been promis
ed hail up to $50,000 for her release.:
Nan Patterson naw her father to-day,
and she told him that as soon as she was
released whe would go to Washington to
see her mother. She received a number
of letters to-day with expressions of
sympathy., A Brooklyn theatrical man
has offered her $730 a week to appear
at his theater. -,
