the field of battle scattered themselves |
and sought the shade of the trees for |

where the shooting ocenrred people |
were met wringing their hands and be- |
moaning the catastrophe. They could |
pot talk fluently and it was with the |
greatest difficulty that information |
could be gleaned. Along the bank of
the trolley road men lay in every posi-
tion, some dead, others dying.
Three bodies, face downward, lay
along the incline and three others
were but a short distance away. On
the other side of the road as many
more bodies lay. The school house
was transformed into a temporary hos-
pital and some of the wou nded were
taken there. The colliery ambulance
was summoned to the place as soon as
possible and upon its arrival two men,
both shot through the legs, were load-
ed into the wagon. All along the hill-
side wounded men were found, on the
green, on the roadside and in the
fields. Many others who had been
carried to a distance could not be
found. Assoon as the news of the
shooting reached Hazleton there was
consternation. Within ten minutes
the streets were blocked with excited
people. The Lehigh Traction compa-
ny immediately placed a number of
extra cars on the Lattimer line and
doctors and clergymen responded
promptly. The rush of people to Lat-
timer was so great that vehicles along
the road were impeded.
Citizens meetings were held in vari
ous parts of the city. Opinion was di-
vided about the responsibility for the
shooting. At one meeting held in
Van Winkles casino, attended by
bankers, coal operators and prominent
business men, resolutions were adopt-
ed calling on Governor Hastings to

directly by increasing public interest
in Europe in the principle of bimettal-
ism. They think that the action on
the part of the Bank of England was
taken more to conciliate the growing
silver sentiment in Great Britain than
as a result of the visit of the bimetallic
commission to England and its con-
ferences with representatives of the
government of Great Britain. Some
of the silver men regard the whole bus-
iness as nothing more than a trick on
the part of the gold standard finan-
ciers of England to make the silver
men there and over here believe that
they are gradually coming around to
bimetallism of their own accord, in
preference to waiting until they are
compelled to do so. These gentlemen
are firmly of the opinion that England
will never willingly adopt bimetal-
lism, and that the only way to get her
to do so is to force it, and the way to
force itis for the United States to
adopt bimetallism independently or in
conjunction with as many European
Governments as may desire to join the
move,
