George (Duncan and Nat Wlnshlp act
ing as Ganymede* flitting from group
to group wfdh foaming beakers of
Cook's best artri-uvafaria, and were
Just solidly enjoying themselves when
the iflilp came to a sudden stop. She
h id gotten out of the channel snd her
nose -was sticking in a sandbar. Capt.
M1i:er and a roustabout got ln-to the
dinghy, whiich, by the way, is a flat-
boitom bocteau, and began to search
for the dhannei. He found it after a
while, and the Gypsy was backed off,
changed her course and made her way
up stream. It whs dim cult to keep to
ttie channel for two reasons. In the
first phice, nobody aboard the boat
knew tfviere it was except after various
experiments, and when k was found it
was frequently so full of snags nnd
ho oh that there was no room for the
Gypsy. After tne first tiwo or three
battles With sand bars and searches
for *fhe channel, which was Invariably
found aU right, ene passengers paid
Httle attemk>n to them, but went on
with the business of enjoying them
selves with gusto and success. The
ladles knew all the popular songs and
sang them. Messrs. Duncan and Win-
ship performed 'their unique and beau
tiful skirt dance, and in the Intervals
When Teirpsichore and Apollo were not
In rhe ascendency, watermelons and
anti-malariu were the attractions.
At Intervals of half an hour or so the
order for all hands to lay alt so as to
bring the boat down by the stem would
be given, tne ftatlW:ies would ceone
momentarily and all hands would duti
fully look s.t the paddile wheel until Ohe
8o pu*9d the day until along about
•upper rime. When Capt. Miller start
ed to run the river where the channel
tfhould have been but mu not. We be
came so mixed up here that it was
deened advisable to haul the boat into
the channel by main strength. A long
rope was tied to a tree and the other
end waa taken to the windlass.. Then
came calls for volunteers to mtin the
oapsion bars. The way Messrs. Rogers,
Outler. Duncan, WinAwp and others
wu ked the boat over ohe bar was a
ciUvJon. Old sailors couldn't have
done K better.
When we had gotten into deep water
again It waa unantmoualy decided that
v/e didn't want to get to Maconk before
yesterday anyway, so a request was
made to Ca-ptatn Miller that we tie up
for the nig.it, which tie granted, and
there we wera In Che nrlddJe of the
swamp.
Talk wbout a Jolly time. Jolly was
no name fbr It. . Everybody was happy
and rain nor mosquitos, of both of
which there was quite a few, had no
effect.

THE SITUm'.^N
AT THE fifeIS
The New Bedford and Fall River Mills
Are All Idle for Lack of
Operatives.
A LONG STRUGGLE IS EXPECTED
The titate Board of Arbitration Left Sie
Bedford Without Any Satisfactory
llesults—Vall Itlver Lockout
u Sympathetic .Move.
New Bedford, Moss., Aug. 24.—'The
suite board of arbitration left tUe city
this morning, but did not state La des
tination. Tne members ore not well
satisfied with the results of their visit
to New Bedford. With the mill men
firm, conaervutlve and reticent, Untie
wax to be learned from them, while the
help, viewing things only from their
standpoint, ore apt to be alow about
accepting arguments from the board.
The meeting of last night happened
to come ut Just the opportune time,
und when both aides expressed a desire
to hear the board's decision, the board
felt it was a great step accomplished
in breaking the Ice. The board regrets
the failure of t.le mauufuc.urera to ut-
tend, but find some consolation in Mr.
Ciupo'a presence. They expect to be
able to accomplish something in the
way of a settlement at a not very dis
tant dsi.e. If they can accomplish a
settlement, tUe board's proffers of as
sistance would be hailed with Joy by
mtli torn, operatives aud everybody
else In town.
Secretary Hose stated this morning
that he did not think that the confer
ence of lust evening was of a great
deal of value or Importance as a medi
um for drawlug the contending parties
together, und ne aid not expect that It
would oe fruitful In results. H<
thought that uie presence ot the repre-
senOKlvee of me labor organisation,
was a public demonstration of the fact
than they desire to be honorable aud
above board In their course, aud that
they are desirous of bringing
strike to sn end. He takes exception
to .ome of the sU'tvmeDts of Mr. Crape
In regard to the mill men of this city
desiring to pay higher wages. He sun
that up to 1888 It wa-- undoubtedly

AN OUTLAWS BLOODY WORK.
Two Men Lying « the Point of Death
and a Lynching Expected.
Wtohtncton. Aug. 24.—A special to
the Poet from Bluefieid, W. Vs., says:
A desperate fight occurred here this af
ternoon between Vinson Shrader, s
mono Wiser, ami a owe of officers. As
s result Chief of Police R. H. Baldwin
and Deputy Marshal Brown are lyln at
the pulng of death, and Shrader wIM
probably bo lynchal before morning.
Shrail-r la a Tazewell county outlaw
and yesterday wounded » mnstsble who
tried to ariont film at Graham. After
tlset occurrence he took to the wood*
Sbout wo nSies from B4uefleld. Chief
at Pjllce Ballwin learned at hie where-

him. He w.'S accompanied by Deputy
AH;n Brown and WIIDrra O. Baldwin,

PJMK- found Shrader’s hiding ploce
shortly before dark, they expected to
take 14,11 hy .wirpriee. but as !hey steal-
WSIy approse bed he opened fire with a
WincheiWer.
The officers then fired on the moon
shiner end a fuailide wue kept up fbr
thirty minutes The chief of police was
shot tbibugh the stomach end Deputy
Hr*sen was shot through the groin. De

Many of the operatives of this city
look upon the action of the Fall River
manufacturers In deciding upon a lock
out as a move In eympn:hv with the
mill men of this city. They think it
was 'taken because of the pledge of the
operatives 4o aaslst the New Bedford
strikers. They profess to lie pleased
with their course, and regard It, la u
sense, as a victory. They think It Is
likely to react upon the manufactur
ers themselves, us they believe that u
vUely udrance lu prices and sharp de-
nxiud for goods Is sure lo follow their
course. With a better lone to the mar-,

This Is s disappointment to those who had
hoped that the mills would follow the
lewd of the Howland corporation. There
are many who find encouragement lu the
belief that a spirit of botbloodcd conten
tion Is slowly elvlng wsy to a recogni
tion on oil sides that the crisis Is one
which demands earnestly and temperate
consideration, the results of conference
lest evening were In doubt, far short ot
expectation! of the more sanguine, but
It certainly accomplished eomethlna In
the direction of conciliation and may set
In action a train of co-circumatancaa that
will lead to a settlement of the dlfflcul
ties In which the rights of the parties st
Issue will be recognised.
STKIKBUS AT SL'NCOCK.
SuuciN-k. N. II., Ang. 24.—The strike
nt the mills here has spread somewhat
aud it is expected will further spread
tomorrow. A lalwr agitator strived
from Fall River yesterday, aud it la
stated flint he was the cause of nearly
ion spinner of the China mill coming
out at 1 o'clock. The spinners la the
Webster iu.ll also struck, as dal three-
fourths of the weavers In the Webster
iis.ll anil about one-ha If of those iu the
Pembroke. A large mimlier of others
did not go Into the Mtrike, anil there
has licetl no disturbance pa ret.
“It la the policy of the nfllla here,
said Asu'iit Jewett, “to follow Fall
