W lWfl SISTERS ABE no Cries For Help Disregarded Owing to Recent False Alarms. 'A dcspatch from Ottawa says: Jenny and Dorothy Green, two waitresses at the Victoria. Hotel, Aylmer, Que, were drowned early on Thursday morning in Lake Deschenes, a, wide stretch of the Ottawa River, about nine miles above the capital. Aboutll o’clock some of the residents at the sumâ€" mer resorts near Aylmei' heard prolonged cries for help coming across the water. No attention was paid to them, however, as there ave been so many fake alarms given this Summer by alleged prac- tical jokers in beats out on the lake. Finally about 2 o’clock on Thurs- day morning, as faint cries were still heard, some members of the Victoria. Yacht Club put off to the SASKATCHEWAN C Y CLONE.

Atkinson, undergoing a five-year sentence, and Jack Johnson, the negro who assaulted the guard some months ago, and who has an indefinite sentence of about six years of imprisonment to serve. The men are thought to be hiding in the bush, which lies several miles north andreast of the prison yards. The manner of their escape indicates the daring of the two men, and the apparent carelessness of several guards who were stationed on senâ€" try duty on the fence and armed with Ross rifles and repeating re- volvers. Atkinson and Johnson? were working on the excavation for' the new cell block, to the rear of the present building, and near the centre of the prison yard. Other: convicts were at the other end of- the excavation, and scattered in! various directions throughout the yard. Atkinson and Johnson, h0W-. ‘ ever, were alone wheeling clay from: the excavation, which was about four feet deep. Suddenly they; seized 8. long plank, on which were cleats, which was used for running; their wheelbarrows up to the sur-f face. \Vith this they ran to the: east end of the fence, about eight: feet distant, and placing it against the wall, were soon up and over. taking cover in the brush.

Strikers Attackâ€"Yasml and Rifles Used at the Pressed Steel Company’s Works. A despatch from Pittsburg, Penn, says: Wednesday was a. day of most fearful rioting at the mills of the Pressed Steel Car Company at McKee’s Rocks, six miles below Pittsburg. At least one hundred ersons were injured in gun bat- tles, by thrown rocks and clubs, and at midnight one thousand angry strikers were grouped around the works, each with a half brick or a. gun. Eight persons were so seriously injured in the clashes that they could not be hurried away by their friends. Three of those injured badly in the Ohio Valley Hospital cannot speak English, and their names cannot be learned. Late Wednesday evening the Steel Queen, 9. steamer owned by the Pressed Steel Company, and supposedly filled with strikeâ€"break- ers, attempted to enter the mill yards from the Ohio River through a water gate and was fired on by three hundred strikers on the river “ Those ("1 the Steel Queen :;!'~‘s‘â€"~«l the “"0 promptly, and v.5. : probably a hundred shots were fired: efore the boat turned about and: ran for the opposite shore of the Ohio River. . The Pressed Steel Car Company, is now in close communication with the authorities at Washington, ask-2 mg that something be done at once, because the Steel Queen was p1y-' ing on United States waters at the time the strikers opened fire on her. At least half a dozen of the strikers appeared to have been hit by bullets from the Steel Queen’s marksman, but it is not known whe- ther any on the vessel was hit orl not. The Steel Car Company de- clares none of their men' were inâ€" jured. Dr. Davidson of the Ohio Valley Hospital says that he dressed the wounds of nineteen seriously in- jured persons on Wednesday whose names he did not glean, an each of whom declined to remain in the hospital.
