President Dolnu Postpones Further Marches. rittsburg, Aug. 13. Injunctions by the court have put a stop to marches by the striking miners against the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company, for a time ut least. But in the execu tion of the injunctions, the sheriff and his deputies narrowly escaped precipi tating serious trouble. As it was, the first blood of the strike was shed. Henry Stewart, one of the sheriff's dep uties struck Jacob Mott, a drummer of the McDonald band, with the edge of a brass horn and cut a severe gash over the eye. The sight of the blood wrought up the 1,000 idle miners to such a pitch that a desperate conflict was imminent. The deputies also were If excited and noisy. The strikers wero jeering anu ycuing ana urging a lurincr rush down the road. In that crowd there were enough nngry strikers to annihilate four times the force of offi cers on the ground. Captain Belllng ham, Sheriff Lowry.Chief Deputy James Richards and Superintendent De Ar mltt wero the only cool men in the as semblage. To them and to Captain Belllnghnm belongs the credit of avoid ing a riot. When Belllngham saw there was danger of his men getting beyond his control he commanded a halt and addressed himself to the task of restraining the more belligerent. So well were his efforts directed that he eoon restored comparative order. Sheriff Lowry had a difficult tank to perform but ho handed it well and by his coolness and good nature did much to neutralize, the bitterness and strlta invited by tho behavior of his subor dinate. The strikers finally retired and marched back to their camp. Thero were several other brushes with the deputies but no actual collision. After the miners returned to camp, the officers conferred with their attor ney, who advised them to quit march ing until the court had heard the ar gument next Monday on the bill in equity brought by the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company, as it might injure their case if they were brought up for contempt before the court. NO MORE MARCHES. President Dolan then issued orders that no marches would be made on any of the mines of the New York and Cleveland company until further orders, although marches may be made against other places. In place of the marching mass meetings will be held and speeches made as a means of keeping the miners of tho company from going to work. Two meetings will be held at Plum Creek tomorrow afternoon at which addresses will be made by George Harris, of tho central Pennsylvania field, Mrs. Jones, of Chi cago, William Warner and Cameron Miller. The miners of the New York and Cleveland company will be urged to be present. The feature of tho scene this morning was the fact that the women sympathizers for the first time in the strike participated in a daylight demonstration, and like their brethren in tho cause, has tho Injunc tion read to them, and they wero or dered to cease using the public high ways for a parade ground. Thero were no signs of trouble to night. The strikers remained within their camp and while the deputies were on guard they had little to do. In or der to more thoroughly fortify his posi tion, Sheriff Lowry swore In twenty additional deputies tonight and dis patched them to Plum Creek. The sheriff does not think thero will be any trouble at any of the mines of the New York and Cleveland company and Is fully convinced the miners will do the right thing. He is now confident that he can handle the strikers and If the injunction of tho Allegheny county courts are mado final they will obey the order. He haB given strict orders, however, 7 not to permit any marching and to enforce the law oven if com pelled to arrest all tho leaders in the movement. Up to a lato hour tonight, Colonel Schoyer, esq., counsel for DeAYmltt, had not prepared the petition to court asking that the strikers show caus? why an attachment should not Issue against them for contempt. The sher iff did not know when this is to be done but it is likely no further action will be taken until after the final hear ing on Monday. So long as the men simply camp there without marching to the mines and interfering with the men going to and from work they will not be disturbed. SCHLATTER READY TO ELOPE.

A Most Interesting nnd Solemn Ccrc-mony--Tiiousnnds of Wrcnths De posited in tho Death Chamber. Madrid, Aug. 13. The funeral of Scn or Canovas del Castillo today was a most touching and solemn ceremony. All the troops of the garrlsan lined the route along which the cortege moved, the flags were lowered and the public buildings, embassies, consulates and clubs were heavily draped with crepe. More than a thousand wreaths were deposited in the death chamber. A salvo of artillery announced the start ing of the funeral proclon, whlchi moved slowly through an enormous crowd, in which all heads were bare and many eyes were weeping. A peculiarly poignant scene ensued as tho Duko of Soto, Mayor, Marshall Martlnex Campos, Marquis Pazo de La Merrzed, and tho other pall-bearers lifted the coffin. Senora-Canovas in a clear, firm tone, said: "I desire that all should know I forgive the assassin. It Is the greatest sacrifice I can make: but I make it for tb,e sake of what I know of my husband's great heart." Throughout the entire distance be tween the death chamber and the church the road was strewn with flow ers and laurels. Smor Sagasta headed the cortege, which was formed of militia, deputies, senators, generals, admirals and dele gations representing all the principal public bodies. The wreath of the queen regent rested upon the coffin and other floral tributes were carried in special carriages. All the shops In the city wore closed, and a very largo proportion of the pop ulace that thronged the streets ap peared in mourning garb. The entire garrison marched past the coffin and the service lasted from 4 until 7.30 p. m.

New York, Aug. 13. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will Wl'i Every city reporting this week notes Increase in trade, and nearly all bright crop prospects. The great change in business Is emphasized by the presence of a multitude of buyers from all parts of the country, by their statements of the situation at their homes, and more forcibly yet by tho heavy purchases they are making. But the customary signs of prosperity are not lacking. The strong rise In stocks, tho growth of bank clearings nnd railroad earnings, the heavy speculation in many prod ucts, but most of all in wheat, have made the week one of surpassing in terest even to those who best remember the upward rush in 1879. At tho princi pal clearing houses throughout the country payments In July wero for the first time slightly larger than in 1S92, and 11.10 per cent, larger than last year; In the first week of August 7.7 per cent, larger than In 1892 and 28.4 per cent, larger than last year and In the second week of August they are 17.9 per cent, larger than in 1S92 and 38.1 per cent, larger than last year. The great crops and the haste of for eigners to buy and ship wheat in view of shortage elsqwhere, have made the week memorable. Taking of profits by a pool loivered the price 3 cents on Saturday; but it has since risen 5 cents. Western receipts, slow in July, have in two weeks been 7,395,712 bushels against 6,722,362 last year and Atlantic exports, flour. Included, have been In tne same two weeks 0.114,031 bushels against 3,334,313 last year. Even the demand for corn, by greatly exceeding last year's shows that foreign anxieties are serious, for 5,510,135 bushels have been exported in two weeks from At lantic ports against 2,514,428 last year. The price has advanced 1.12 cents, not withstanding enormous stocks bi ought over. The urgency of French buying of wheat, reports that Russia will stop exports in order to keep supplies for it self, and continued shipments from the Pacific to countrles-usually having a surplus, make even tho largest estimate of probable supplies not too great for the possible demand. LARGE DEMAND FOR PRODUCTS. In nil the great Industries, a large demand for products appeared, with strong speculation in materials and in termediate products. In the iron and steel branch, starting of many works after settlement of wages keep prices low and even depresses some, but the fact that tho demand Is growing leads to heavy purchases of iron ore, 200,000 tons at Cleveland in a week, and of billets 40,000 tons, while concessions re cently reported in pig iron have ceased. The output of furnaces August 1, was 163,378 tons against 164,001 July 1, and decrease in known stocks unsold Indl dicates a consumption for two months past averaging 181,000 tons weekly, which Is more than In the same months of 1S92, though below the greatly In creased capacity of works now. Sales of tin are moderate, of copper to Amer ican consumers large, It is said at 11 cents for the lake, and of lead at 3.72 with speculative realizing but heavy sales of tin plates are bringing slight ly better prices. All textile Industries are encouraged by a greatly Improved and really large demand for goods, which causes many to advance in price. With production much curtailed, stocks of cotton goods are rapidly decreasing, and In woolens advances have been made in clay wor steds and mixtures, flannels and mid dlesex suitings. Speculation in wool continues, with prices about one cent higher, but sales of 23,499,800 pounds in two weeks show the willingness of some holders to realize. Failures for tho week have been 239 in the United States against 298 last year. BRADSTREET'S OPINION. Bradstreets tomorrow will say: Evi dences of widespread revival in de muni for merchandise and other pro ducts have become so numerous as to compel general recognition. The press has, therefore, ceased discussing whether trade has really Improved or not, and have begun measuring tho o',umo of business compared with pre ceding periods. A nominal advance of 75 tvnts a ton for steel billets Is more than a feature, as it means the confidence of makers In an earlv revival of the demand for iron and steel which has been bo long delayed. Wheat scored an advance of 7 cents on sontlnued heavy exports and a tendency to decrease estimates of the size of domestic crop. Wool Is higher on speculative holdings and cotton yarns have advanced again. Hides and southern lumber are up, as are wheat, flour, Indian corn and oats, and last but not leaBt, print cloths, the market for which has been so long depressed. Prices for sugar, coffee, lard and petroleum remain unchanged, while pork Is almost tho onl ' important product quoted lower than ast week. There are 214 business .'alluees re ported throughout tho United States this week, compared with 214 last week, 258 In tho second week of August, 1896, 195 In tho like period In 1895, 231 In 1891 and 209 in the like week of 1893.

Young Tuck is well known on upper Broadway, In the clubs and on the Rlalto. Ho has a fondness for stage folk, and was an acceptable companion. Miss Bernard's name has never been In bold lettering on bill boards, but her smile past the foot lights captivated many men. She had a flat In a magnificent apart ment house on Fifth avenue, and on the roof a delightful garden, whero choice plants, subdued lights nnd con genial company made It pleasant for the millionaire who enjoyed Miss Bern ard's society, nnd whose tips on the market cnnbled her to wear an abund ance of diamonds.

Then Shirley Richardson added that the marriage was to take place lnstanter, and this caused a cold bottle to be opened In honor of the groom. They left tho table, hailed a pass ing cab, routed Assistant Rector Smith out of bed and were married. The happy couple did not return to their gay friends on tho roof, but took up their residence Immediately In an up town hotel. Meanwhile Tuck pere Is In Europe: Mrs. Tuck, tho mother, is in the country. AMEER SUSPECTED OF SHABBY TRICKS. Afghan's Ruler Accused of Having Circulated His Hook of Johnd Among Indian Troops. London, Aug. 13. The news of the suspected Afsh'an intriges is very se riously regarded here. The English newspapers published in India had already discussed tho possibility of the ameer's complicity. It was reported some time ago that ho had sent thous ands of copies of his book on the Je had, or religious war, to the native Indian regiments; while anonymous letters appeared in the Indian native press, glorifying the Turkish victories as "Islam's rising star" and declaring that the ameer was ready to come, like the glorious Mahmud Sahuktagln of yore, to rid India of j,he thraldom of the Christian yoke; bidding all the faithful to be prepared and asserting that the riots at Chitpur were really a preliminary trial of Mohammedan strength carefully organized by the highly educated real leaders of tho community. Bombay, Aug. 13. The impression Is growing that Abdurranman Khan, the ameer of Afghanistan, Is conniving at, if not actually assisting the tribal ris ings. It is reported that ho has recalled tho Afghan agents at Simla, Calcutta, Karachi and Bombay, summoning them to Cabul, his capital. From inquiries It is ascertained that Yar Mahomed Khan, the Bombay agent, left for Cabul a few days ago, in response to a message from the ameer. Before ho left ho disposed of all his movable property. PETER WANTED TO WRESTLE. A Wife Murderer illonuts the Scaffold with n .IZcrry Step, Baltimore, Aug. 13.

Special to tho Soranton Tribune. Montrose, Ang. 13. John Waltz con tinues to wear bluo goggles; he also does not loose Interest in the case. It is a matter of life or death to him. There Is no happy medium for John Waltz. Ho will, at thf end of this trial, be allowed to go scott free, or Judge Searle will sentence him to be hanged by the neck until he Is dead., Mrs. Mary Davis, when sworn, was not allowed to testify as the common wealth offered to prove that Waltz told her: "I did not do It, but know who did." Attorney Safford objected and objec tions wero sustained. Early this morning a number of re volver shots awoke the quiet town from its matin legarthy. When Dr. Knapp took the stand these were explained, for again had the commonwealth test ed revolver shots upon muslin squares. These tests were made at a less dis tance than six Inches. Four in all were made, and they certainly pre sented an ugly appearance. The shots were as follows: , A Muzzle to cloth B 1 Inch C. 2 Inches D 4 inches They wero offered and accepted in evidence. On cross-examination Attorney Saf ford asked Dr. Knapp whether he could not have experimented on an animal. Dr. Knapp "Yes, sir." Q. What animal? A. A pig. Q. Why did you not experiment on a pig? A. I had no hogs to kill. W. J. Baker, clerk of tho court, was sworn by Judge Searle, he had wit nessed the morning's tests. W. H. Bates also viewed the experi ments nnd so testified. James A. Brown was sworn next. I was on the coroner's jury. Lemon laid in a chair, his eyes were closed. There were no marks on his face. I saw revolver and examined it. I found finger mark of blood on cylinder. The revolver was found by Lemon's fet Daltz said he was killed about 3 o'clock. Alfred Davis, the next witness, also was a member of the coroner's Jury. He also said that Lemon's eyes were closed, and that he saw blood marks on the revolver. "They were like put ting a finger in putty," said Mr. Da vis. Charles Buckland say Jabez Lemon shortly before 12 o'clock that Saturday night. W. II. Wildenberger, of Forest City, was a juror on the coroners' inquest. He knew Jabz Lemon in his lifetime, heard Waltz say that if the old man died he was to have- the property of Lemon after he had given him a decent burial. Here endeth the prosecution's evidence. DEFENSE OPENED. The defense was then begun. Attor ney H. A. Denny spoke briefly In open ing. He said the defense proposed to prove that Jabez Lemon committed sui cide; that John Waltz had attended Lemon with kindness; and that he" was innocent of the grave charge preferred against him. He spoke of Lemon's diseased condition. Woodberry Coll, the first witness produced by the defense. I have known Lemon for about 7 years, i woe the first man he spoke to In Forest City. I often went to Lemon's place. Waltz met me at door; I went to where Lem on sat; Lemon said: "Mr. Colle, do you think I'm going to get well?" I said. "I think you're near the end of your halter and If you have any business you had better 'tend to it." Lemon pent Jack Wnltz for something for din ner After Waltz had gone he said: "If I thought I had to sutler long I would put a ball right through my head." I said "You wouldn't do tho likes of that." "Yes I would," he said. Waltz came back, laid down the packages. Lemon said, "I don't know what I would have done If It hadn't been for Jack; no other person In Forest City would hnve done for mn what ho has." Cross-examined "I don't suppose- I was very comforting, no." James Howard Is a clgarmaker; h. was next sworn and said he worked for Lemon from July until September; that he took care or pool' room and of Lemon, ills leg was badly swollen. Ho had doctored In New Mllford and said the doctor had scattered it. Ho had trouble and said ho thought people were trying to beat him out of his money nnd he was going out and bhoot the first man whose nam appeared on tho paper and then shoot himself. I have heard him wish he was dead. Once I heard him say, "I put In a terrl 1le night; f had a notion to get up and blow my brains out." Ono night I was out late and he shot at. me when I came In. On cross-examination He laughed when ho told mo about shoot ing. I heard him tell a mani who asked whero was the best plnce to shoot himself; "In tho forohead." The lat ter was on re-dlrect examination. W. J, Mnxey next testified. Mr. Mnx ey's testimony was unimportant save that ho told of Waltz and Lemon living together and that th'lr j-elatlons wero of a friendly nature. Ho had heard Lemon threaten to kill himself. DR. HANSEE'S APPEARANCE. Dr. Hansee, a gentleman of the old school, who wore a regular Popullstle beard, next went upon tho statu!. The doctor Is not a regular prallctlclng physician, but enjoys the distinction of being so-called by virtue of a lini ment which is good for both man and heist, and in the same manner as all men from Kentucky aro colonels. The doctor on cross-examination said that the Lord himself couldn't tell what was exactly the matter with Lemon. District Attorney Alney said: "Then you certainly cannot and ho was dis missed. II. E. Relfler know Waltz and Lemon had heard Lemon say If ho had to suffer through another summer he would put himself out of the way. Thomas Reede workB In tho mines. He lived In the same building tho Htg glns building whre Lemon was found dead. Lemon told him Dr. Corsena, of Hancock Junction had given him up; that he (Lemon) had a running sore, nnd was going to put a bullet through his hend. That a spoonful of mag gots run out of the sore. Milton J. Arthur and W. II. Hlgglna testified. They simply told of Lemon's physical condition. William Hopkins had seen Waltz dress Lemon's legs and told of thlcr condition. Frank McReynolds also testified re garding Lemon's condition physically. WALTZ ON THE STAND. John Waltz, the accused, was then called. He was nervous and when Prothonotary Baker swore him his right hand trembled like an aspen leaf. He testified: "I am 47 years of age; was arrested last January. I have been confined in Jail since then. I was born in Sterling, Wayne county. Left home a few years after my broth er came back from the war." Waltz' then told how when 17 years of age he went to Scranton and worked for his brother-in-law at butchering. Then to Carbondalc, after a period of five or six years, when he was engaged by Benjamin Gardner. Waltz married in Scranton and two children were the result. "My wife got dissatisfied, I suppose, and skipped out. Wo had a boarder and she skipped with him. He then told of Lemon's asking him to stay with him after he hurt himself while working for Peterson, a butcher and he consented to do so. Then AValtz dwelt at length upon Lemon's ills; the manner of dressing wounds and told of Dr. Corsena's using herbs; that the doctor was 112 years old. When asked If he knew that Waltz replied: "He claims to be; I wasn't there when he was born." (Laughter.) Waltz rambled on and told the story of Lemon's dally life. Told of Lemon being charged with drinking to muph, and that Lemon said: "I have only ono life to live and what good will I be then." Waltz said that In dressing the wound maggots Jumped off the rag bandage and skipped on the floor. That Lemon had said to him: "Jack, the bloody maggots are boring a hole In my leg." "The last words wo had I said: 'Good night, pop.' and he said 'good night, my son.' Waltz denied having called Lemon names of an ob scene nature, on cross-examination, and adhered strictly in tho main to his story. Dr. W. R. Brady, of Honesdale, was then called. HOSE CHECKS A M03.
