MEN DETERMINED TO STICK Will Be Prevented from Win ning: Only by Starvation. No Marches Yoslcrdnv-Strlkers Aro Waiting Quietly to Learn the Onl come of the InjmielionS"Tho Men Still Heliovo That They Ilnvo the Right to Murcli on the I'ulilic llighwuy. Pittsburg, Aug. 15. A leaden sky and fitful showers contributed to the feeling of depression which existed at the min ers' camps at Turtle and Plum Creeks today. The men huddled together for shelter under the commissary tents nnd having nothing else to do put the time In smoking and discussing the strike In oil Its phases. The spirit of aggressive, ness. however, has largely died out. The same grim determination to stick it out until starvation brings defeat, or their efforts victory, is apparent, but there are no propositions to attain their end by force, or to go contrary to the sheriff's orders. The men nil realize that opposing the law as represented by tho sheriff and his deputies they would have about the same success, as in butting their heads against a stone wall. They have no particular love for tho deputies, al though there Is an absence of that caustic repartee between the factions that has characterized former strikes. There were no marches this morning. This has been the usual Sunday custom at all the camps, but even If It had been otherwise, the strict orders of all strike leaders to watt quietly until after Mon day, would have prevented them. Sun day has usually been u2d by the men to do missionary work among the work ing miners. None of them attempted to see any workmen, however, and kept severely away from the company houses. The march Into "Westmoreland county will begin as soon as the Injunc tion Is settled in court. Much anxiety Is expressed as. to the outcome. The men stake evsrythlng on their ability to show the rlsht to assemble and march on the public road. AN ORDERLY MEETING. This afternoon there was a large mass meeting at Plum Creek. About 1,000 strikers and 200 miners from the Plum Creek mine were present. Speech es were made by President Ratchford, Samuel Gompers, James R. Sovereign and the local leaders. The meeting was orderly and there was no interference from tho denudes. There is a possibllityof thecustomary march taking place In the early morn ing In spite of the strict orders Issued by President Dolan against such a course. Some of the men are fretting under the restraint and Captain Bell Ingham, who Is in charge of the camp, said tonight, that he had not decided whether to allow the march or not. The deputies aro on the alert and say they will arrest any who make tho at tempt. Evictions from the company houses has begun. One family has already been evicted and their household goods are on the roadside near Center. It Is probable other evictions will take place tomorrow. BELLEFONTAINE TRAGEDY.

Scrnnton Railway Compnnv Ilnd Much Trouble with Wntcr nt Stark's I'ntcli and Under Carbon Street Bridge. This city wns, yesterday afternoon, the center of one of the Ilvllest storms that has visited this region In somo time. It was of brief duration hut while It lasted It made Its presence severely felt. Lightning struck In sev eral places, shocking threo persons arid killing a mule. Houses In various parts of the city were damaged by the wind, trees wero blown down -or stripped ot their branches In almost every- block, many awnings, wlndows,'show-cases and signs throughout the business dis tricts were demolished, cellars wero flooded, street car tracks blockaded, wires blown down and tangled and peo ple In general thoroughly terrorized. At about 2 o'clock the Btorm com meneed to gather towards tho south. Half an hour later rain commenced to fall In big drops. The lightning and thunder, which were rather mild at first, grew gradually in) Intensity and with' It the rain increased In volume. Twenty minutes after the storm had set In a heavy wind blow up arid thus like the rain and thunder and lightning also Increased In force. About 3 o'clock there was five minutes of stprm that would lead one to believe all these ele ments had agreed to do at once, then and there, all the storming -scheduled for the next year or two. It was a cyclnne.cloudburst nnd fierce thunder and lightning storm all rolled Into one. The storm seemed to spend its force In this supreme effort, for It subsided quite porceptably thereafter, as it satisfied perfectly with the. swath It had cut during Its-. Short career. No one dared venture out during this fiercest period of the storm as the air wns fairly filled with flying debris and it Is doubtful also If one could manago to keep afoot In an exposed place. The downpour of rain was accompanied by hall for a few minutes. LIGHTNING'S WORK. Lightning struck the house of Thomas Phillips, wheelwright, 1514 Price street, tearing a hole in the roof, ripping off tho siding and then enter ing the parlor, where It knocked down, the plastering, tumbled the pictures from the walls, ripped up the carpet In one end of the room, separated the paper, from the wall In tho other, broke a lamp chimney nnd took to theground through the cellar wall, tearing out several large stones In Its passage. Mr. Phillips, who wns sitting In the parlor and his son, William, who was In an adjoining room wero both stunned but not seriously. In Dunmore the home of Lewis Saw yer, on Rlggs street, was visited by a bolt which entered through a rear gablo window, and after leaving broken plas ter and the streaked floors to mark Its passage through the house, found an exit by way of the front door. Mrs; Sawyer and her Infant child, which she held In her arms, while sitting on the front porch, wero severely shocked. A1 neighbor, who saw the accident, rush ed ovsr and picking the woman and child up from where they had fallen carried them Into the house and sent for a doctor. Before the physician's ar rival they had recovered. Neither was hurt much, but Mrs. Sawyer suffered for some time from the after effects ot the shock. Another bolt in Dunmore struck a haystack at No. 1 breaker and glanclne o'f killed a mule, which was seeking shelter behind the stack. Albert Smith', the barn-boss, nnd his young son, Stan ley, who were In the barn at the time, were made to feel the close proximity of the trUky fluid. In the central city, whero awnings, swinging signs, advertising banners nnd show cases made easy prey for the wind, the fury of the storm was most noticeable. The double awning In front of Gould's carriage woiks, on Linden street, which had been left down over Sunday, was torn from Its supports and one of the supports blown through a large French plato gloss window, valued at $175. PECULIAR FREAK. Another largo plate glass window In the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company's store, In the Burgess block, on Lack awanna avenue, was demolished by the wind. It was the window to the left of tho entrnnce, and in tho most protect ed position of any of the windows, which make up tho entire front and side, yet it was the only one damaged. From tho fact that nono of the frag ments fell Insldo the store and that tho exposed windows escaped, It would appear that an eddy of tho current, which swept up Lackawanna avenue, must have whirled Into tho doorway and by its suction pulled tho window right out of Its frame. The Atlantic Pants company's show case, v.'hlch stood In front of their shop, In the Paull building, Lacka wanna avenue, was overturned and tossed along the sidewalk for several yards, Its contents consisting of sult- Continued on Page 5.1 ' .
