Hun garian strikers are stealing dynamite from Turnback's magazine at Auden rlcd. Governor Hastings has ordered troops to tho scene. Nothing has been heard from the gong alarm. T. J. D. Hazleton, Sept. 1G. "It was dlssa way," said a ynung Italian slate picker, Giovanni Micholll, when Th" Tribune representative asked him to tell about the one big feature of yesterday in tho strike region, the women attack on the scabs at McAdoo. Some whole lotta women and de Toys dey come and tie one big Irlsher woman she say to Meester Scott, you Mosster Scott say 'de breaker nlla over.' Meester Scott ho say 'No, I no say do breaker alia over,' say do Meester Scott. Den tho big womans ho eo to hit do Meester Scott and Meester Scott he run to do big boss and he say to de big boss, 'Say de breaker all over,' and den de break er was alia over." The women, It appears were set up to the attack by their husbands who feared to march, but who had read in tha Cleanleld district the women par aded unmolested after their husbands were enjoined from parading. Accounts differ as to how many were in tho crowd, but about sixty would be a fair estimate, after all stories are weighed and sifted. They had a crowd of boys with them and it Is also said that not a few were men dressed In women's clothing. They first marched on tbs Carson and Monarch washerles of tho Audenried Coal company and without trouble forced the men to quit by compelling tho superintendent to close down the breaker, nnd then pitt ing stones at th'e miners in tho strlp plngs. One Hungarian, who was obsti nate, received a blow over the head from a club In th hands of one of the women that opened up a seven stitch gash. AN EXPLOSION THREATENED. Later they marched on the Honey Brook strlpplngs of tho Lehigh and WIlkes-Barre company and by throw ing huge stones from the top of the breaker down at the miners In the stripping and also onto tho roof of tho powder house, tlieratentng on explo sion, succeeded in stopping operations. Colonel McGee, with a battalion of the Eighth infantry, which was patrol ling the region theieabouts, did not arrive until after tho whole affair was over. Four hundred men In all were forced out. The women threaten to mnrch again tomorrow on other adja cent collieries, but General Gobln.whllo not crediting the report, will have sol diers there to prevent any assault on the miners. An Italian at McAdoo last night ex pressed sympathy for Superintendent Gomer Jones. The surgeons of tho Eighth regiment hospital say ho will recover. The Cranberry mine of A. Pardee & Co, worked today with a small comple ment of men. The Crystal Itldgo mine of the same company, It Is said, will start up tomorrow. These men were forced out and those who are going back do so under promise of conces sions. Rev. Father Aust, with whom your correspondent had an Interview today, said that ho Is advising tho men to go back to work If they can get any reasonable concession. Ho would not care to adviso to give up their light, but he favors doing almost anything within reasonable bounds In order to get the men hack to work, for 'Idle ness,' he fittingly quotes, 'begets mis chief.' TROUBLE AT M'ADOO. The trouble nt McAdoo, which Is Just across the line, caused Sheriff Scott, of Schuylkill county, to telephone to Governor Hastings for military aid at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Tho gover nor's intentions have not reached hero yet. Following the statement of Calvin Pardee that he will close down his mines and tack a "For Sale" sign on them sooner than grant the miners' de mand, comes statements from three other representatives of local opera tors. James E. Roderick, superintendent for A. S. Van AVickle, Buys: "I am heartily In favor of a uniform wage ucaie xor mis region, it Is, In my opinion, a very wise proposition to dis cuss at this time and our people are ready to enter into such a movement The scales should bo fixed on a basis that will give something like satisfac tion all around, It can be arranged for the benefit of the operators and work men." Mnjor I, A. Stearns, president of the Coxe Coal company, in replying to a message asking for his opinion on the STRIKERS subject o uniform wngc scale meet ing, wires as follows: "I am not suf ficiently advised about the meeting re ferred to, to express an opinion at this time." John Markle, of G. B. Markle & Co., says: ".'c have a uniform wage scale which has been In vogue since 1875. As far as I know, all other companies aie apylng the same wages, especially for Inside men. There Is no prospect of a meeting as far as I know, and no meeting has been called." The American Federation of Labor is to take a hand In tho strike. At a mass meeting to be held hero Saturday night, Eugene V. Debs and the presi dent of tlie Carpenters' nnd Joiners' union will make addresses. At mid night those on the streets are listening with alarm to the sound of a shrill whistle coming from some of the sur rounding hamlets. Every suburban place answers by 'phone except Mllnes ville and Harwood. Investigation has been set afoot. T. J. D. FEDERATION JOINS TUG FIGHT. Mans meeting to Ho Held on Satur day Night. By Associated Press. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 16. The Ameri can Federation of Labor, with a mem bership of half a million, has taken up the cause of the mine workers in this region. Their organizers are already at work hero and when this has been completed a uniform scale will be formulated and presented .to the oper ators. There will be no marching, not anything In the way of a demonstra tion, and no attempt will be made to bring about sympathetic strike move ments. At tho mass meeting fixed for next Saturday night at Old park, Peter J. Magulre, vice president of the Federa tion, and secretary general of tho United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, of Philadelphia, will make an address. George Chance, also of the Quaker City, a leader of the United Labor league, will also speak. If con ditions -warrant, Samuel Gempers, president of the federation, and Frank Morrison secretary' will come .to Hazleton later. The organization's money will be used in tho movement and $300 of the fund sent by, tho Carp enters to tho general fund at Colum bus, O., Is ready on demand and will bo contributed If found necessary. Concerning the story that Eugene "V. Debs will speak at ths Saturday night meeting, the strike leaders say that If he comes, it will not be at their solicitation. No invitation hos been extended to him and they do not be lieve ho will be here. The work of organization Is being done by tho sending of emissaries by twos and threes from mine to mine, and every effort Is Iwlng made to avoid the appearanec of a demonstration. Organizer John Fahey, of the United Mine Workers, has charge of the work and he will shortly be assisted by nw men from the ranks of the federation. Fahey today made answer to the ex pressions of Calvin Pardee, the coal op erator, who insinuated that Fahey was working for his own Interests instead of those of the strikers, and declared that were It not for "agitators" the men would be at work. To this Fahey asserts that ho was sent for by thi miners and has been congratulated by the press for his work thus far. Ho de nies the charges made and challenges Mr. Pardee to furnish proof to their authenticity. He concludes by demand ing an apology. PEACE BROKEN. The peace prevailing during the past few days was broken today by a con flict between striking and working min ers which for a time threatsned to lie serious. A body of about one hundred and fifty men and boys, led by a scoro or more of women, made a raid on the Carson, Star and Monarch collieries at Honey Brook, near Audenried. Tho women, as well as their followers, wero armed with clubs and stones nnd be fore the SDO workers could be Induced to come out the missiles were used. Some of tho women stationed them selves on the top of a culm bank and pelted the worklngmen with stones. One Hungarian was clubbed over tlw head and badly Injured but no further harm was inflicted. A larger force of strikers was stationed behind an ad jacent culm bank ready to reinforce the body of raiders if necessary, but at this stage of the attack, the employes quit In a lody and Joined the strikers' ranks. The encounter was tho direct result ot un attempt to start up the Lehigh and Wllks-Birre collieries. Despite the determination to remain out until Superintendent Law-all was neard from, regarding the ten per cent, advance demanded, a number of Hun garians and Italians reported for work this morning. As soon as this news reached Bunker hill and Honey Brook, the attack was made, each colliery be ing visited in turn. The Superintend ent called for assistance of Sheriff Scott, qt the Schuylkill county, in which county Honey Brook lies, and that ofllclal made a demand on General Gobln for a body of soldiers. A bat talion of the Eighth regiment under Colonel Magee received a report of the occurance and mado demonstrations with the Idea of subduing the turbu lent Inclinations of the foreigners. The march proceeded through Honey Brook, Bunker Hill and McAdoo. Here tho troops were halted, while the offi cers mado a short reconnoitre toward Silver Brook. Nothing of a suspicious character was seen, however, and the troops were marched back to camp, hot, weary and dust stained after a seven mile's tramp. The soldiers had not been out of sight ten minutes be fore a crowd of strikers pounced upon a squad of Hungarians who wore screening coal near the Star Washery and forced them to quit work. This second movement resulted In the send ing of a squadron ot the Governor's troop to the disturbed district this afternoon. They returned at 6 o'clock with tho report that all was quiet. HONEY BROOK WANT'S TROOPB. Honey Brook being beyond the Juris diction of Luzerne county, Sheriff Bcott this afternoon made a requisition on Governor Hastings for i body of troops to be stationed there permanently. Tho executive's answer had not vet come this evening. Another attempt to re sume work will bo made at these col lieries tomorrow. Colonel Magee, of the Eighth regiment, reported an inci dent that occurred at 3 o'clock this morning. While most of tho wcury warriors were slumbering on their couches of earth, the guard Hue was thrown Into a ferment by tho appear ance of a blood-stained Hungarian, rushing poll mell towards them with four men in close pursuit. As soon ns the latter saw tho white tents of tho camp looming up In the darkness, they fled and vanished Into the night. Tho injured Hun, whoso name is John Tlm ko, ran towards tho sentries, crying at tho top of his voice: "Mo no striker." He fell exhausted at their feet and was borno within the lines. After the sud den alarm had subsided he was car ried to the camp hospital when! It was I found that he had been seriously cut about tne neaa ana race ana beaten and kicked. Tho assault ho said was the outcome of an argument In which ho championed the cause of Gomer Jones, ono of the Lehigh and WIlkes Barre superintendents. Colonel Magee further said that ho had placed a guard of one hundred men nt the pumping station which supplies tho regiment with water and has sen tinels btatloncd all along the pipe lines which carry It within. A similar pre caution has been observed at Lattlmer, where tho Thirteenth Is quartered. There, an ord:r has also been Issued forbidding the men from accepting food and drink from outsiders. The First battalion of the Ninth regi ment accompanied the paymaster's wagon over to Harwood today and left Company B there to keep a generul watch. Tho First battalion of tho Twelfth marched to Stockton and back in the morning for a practice drill. There was no material change today In the situation of tho strike beyond that already mentioned. The report that the Cranberry colliery men had qu-t work pioved to be baseless, but therj were no resumption. It Is said that some of ih men are anxious to go back to work, but fear violence from the others If they attempt to do so. A mine ofPcial made tho statement today that some Hungarians had reported to him tint they could not account for the location of twenty-eight of their countrymen who were 'n r'day's pe lade whn It was fired upon by the deputy sheilffs. It Is the genera! opin ion that tliey were frightened, rin away nnd are still In hiding. Some if their friends incline to the belief that the men wf-re wounded, made their way to tli n mountain nn.1 were lost there. A search of the woods and mountains Is being made. SHERIFF MARTIN IN TOWN. Sheriff Martin came over from WIlkes-Barre again today. He Is very moody and seems to feel his position keenly. Tho various camps of the Na tional Guard wero generally quiet to day. Captain A. R. Paxton, of tho Fifteenth United States Infantry, on duty with the National Guards, la on tho ground Inspecting the conduct of the troops, of whom he speaks In high praise. Tho camps are governed by the most rigid discipline, and an Inspection of them gives the Impression that war Is in progress. Dress parade by the Ninth regiment at Hazle park this af ternoon was watched by a crowd of sightseers, who had passed through the lines, while another throng witnessed the drills at Donegal Hill, where the Twelfth is garrisoned. Operator Par dee, In the course of a talk today, said the troops would be here for two more weeks to come. At the hospital today there wns no change in the condition of the men who are still hovering near death's door. Governor Hastings to night sent a message to General Oobln, ordering him to suppress all meetings having a tendency to incite to riot. This will doubtless prevent the pro posed labor meeting scheduled for next Saturday night. The streets of Hazle ton were quiet today and Interest is now directed to the result of the coro ner's Inquest which will be held Mon day or Tuesday. NO "ORIGINAL PACKAGE" GOODS. Several Sonth Cnroliun Railroads Kcfuso to Carry Such Liquors. Columbus, S. C Sept. 10. The Seaboard Air lino and tho Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroads havo joined forces with with tho Southern and tho Atlantic Coast lino In their refusal to longer haul liquor for "original packago" stores. The South Carolina and Georgia and tho Charleston and Western Carolina seem still ready to get all tho business they can. At llrst sight tho action of tho roads appears to bo a death blow to tho "original packago" dealers throughout tho Btate, but If more roads do not join twenty-four of tho forty counties can get liquor. These nro In tho northern and western part bordering on Georgia. What will bo the action of tho state of ficials to compel theso recalcitrant roads to yield Is an Interesting question. A fow weeks ago threats wero mado ot forfeit ing their charters and getting Injunctions from tho state supremo court restraining them from carrying liquors for original packago agents. An Intimation was mado today by a department assistant that hhould tho Florida Central and Peninsu lar, South Carolina and Georgia, and oth er roads still persist In their policy, re course might yet bo had to theso meas ures. NARROW ESCAPE OF DIAZ. Middlc-Agcd ?Inn Attompts to Assns stunto Mexico's President. City of Mexico, Sept. !. An attack was mado shortly after 10 o'clock this morn ing on President Diaz aa ho was pro ceeding from tho palace to the Alameda to distribute medals to tho survivors of tho war. Tho city Is In a fever of ex citement and tho stories generally nro conflicting. Tho most reliable version of tho affair Is that ns tho president was entering on foot tho Alameda or Central park of the city, a middle aged man armed with a long polnard Jumped for ward from the crowd and mado an at tempt to stab the president. Ho was at once seized by tho presi dent's suite and tho police and heavily handcuffed. Then, by sldo streets to avoid publicity he wns taken under a strong guard to the Fourth ward pollco station. Tho authorities havo bo far re fused to mako a statement. SHOT EACH OTHER DEAD. Tcius Citizens Fight nt n Railroad Stntloii After n Business Qunrrrl. Dallas, Tex., Sept. 10. Dr. T. B. Carter, of Kaufman and Charles P. Russell, of Abbott, In Hill county, both heretoforo friends, met yesterday afternoon to dis pose of eomo business relative to a land transaction, Tho meeting ended In a quar rel.

Both mon drew pistols, Dr. Carter shot first, and Russell fell to his knees, but levelled his revolver nt Dr. Carter ana fired three shots, nil taking effect. Both men died within thrco minutes. Russell was a widower, and leaves six children. Carter's family consists of a mother and brother. BROKER WITH A CONSCIENCE. Ho Could Not Stand by nnd Sec n Customer Swindled. New York, Sept. 16. Four brokers wero arrested this afternoon on a charge of having defrauded Mrs. F. M. Whcaton out of $2,110. Tho men nrrested were Steven R. Tobln and Willis B. Troy, bankers nnd brokers nt No. 11 Broad way, and Clifford Davis and a man of tho namo of Archer. Mrs. Whcaton sent to Tobln and Troy, nt tho suggestion of the other two men, JS10 in Reading stock and $1,300 In cash, to bo Invested in dltcretlonnry pools. Mrs. Whcaton ordered them to buy some sugar on August 31. They sent her word that she had been short of sugar at 150, and that they had closed her out on tho rlso at 165, thus wiping out her mnrclns. Tho transaction preyed upon Troy's mind. Ho Anally wont to the district attorney's office, nnd telling tho district attorney of the affair, confessed that tho alleged transaction hnd never taken place nnd that Mrs. Wheaton had been de frauded of her money.

Seventeen mines In the tlxth Illinois dis trict resumed work today. It is probable that all tho small operators In tho district w 111 como into lino before tho end of tho week. Tho Duquoln men will return to work Friday morning. The representatives of the strikers wero met by seventeen of the Independent ope rators. Tho men submitted a proposition for a scale of 37 cents a ton top weight, mlno run. After n long consultation It was accepted late In the afternoon.

Very AUNY ARE TORTURED BY SUSPENSE The Uncertainty ot tho Situntion Worries tho Business Men Whoso Interests nt Homo Sutler from Their Absence Rlflo Practice Will Form Olio oT tho Fcntnrcsof Cnmp--Notog of tho Vnrious Companies. Hazleton, Sept. 16. This has been a rather dull nnd prosy day at Camp Lattlmer. Nothing of an exciting value occured to break the wearisome monotony. Routine work and camp larks keep tho boy's from- geting rusty, but with all this employment they aro galled not a little by the severe restraint entailed by General Gobln's stringent order. The most commendable patience Is exhibited, and except in a few cases .there has been no Infraction of tho law. Col. Mattes Is particularly gratified over tho almost perfect behavior of his com mand and feels satisfied that no ex treme measures will have to bo ordain ed because of misbehavior. If something definite was only known as to how long the regiment will be kept here there would bo llttlo descontent. At present the boys, it must bo confessed, nre beginning to grow uneasy. Many business nnd pro fessional men are in the regiment and they came away without making ar rangements for being absent. Theso men aro particularly restless. They say .they are perfectly willing and an xious to do their whole duty by thf state and would receive an order for a winter campaign with perfect resig nation, but as things are now thoy do not know whether they will be here a day or a year and In consequance they do not know how It is best to pre vent a demoralization of their busi ness affairs. Just now they aro fig uring that .the 13th will be here at the least ten days longer and aro acting accordingly. Theso uncertainties and hardships of the very severe encampment aro not however dampening the spirit of fun which Is all prevadlng In tho Thir teenth. What the boys don't do would bo easier to relate than what they actually do. Any ordinary set of men penned up In a two acre lot for a week, with prospects of resuming that way for a month, will create bother. What the frolic; loving Thirteenth Is doing under these conditions may be Imagined possibly but never fully told. The man who can get up the most ridiculous habiliment Is the most envied. The man with the most shaggy and outlandish beard is the most admired. Everybody from the Colonel down Is bent on dispelling the blues and by tho divers ways peculiar .to tho best regiment In the world, suc cess has carried their efforts so far. RIFLE PRACTICE. Rifle practice Is to be inaugurated tomorrow. Colonel Mattes and Lieu tenant Cox today selected a site for a range In the valley live hundred yards to the west of the camp on a plot of ground kindly placed at the disposal of tho regiment by Superintendent Drake, of the Calvin Pardee & Co. mines. En gineers staked out the ground this af ternoon and targets will be erected to morrow morning. A pistol range has been laid out ad jacent to the camp and officers are al ready qualifying. Yesterday four of them made the necessary fifty out of seventy-five and received tho much coveted credentials. Their names and scores follow: First Sergeant Scote, Co. B 89 Sergeant Major Coursen G2 First Sergeant Branda. Co. D W Lieutenant Crlssman, Co. G 61 Tomorrow morning at 9.30 o'clock the officers' pistol match, which was to have been shot at the Dickson range, Saturday last, will take place at Drake range. The Ninth regiment officers declined the challenge of tho Thirteenth's offi cers to a pistol match, Colonel Dough erty thinking it unwlso to allow any largo number of officers to be absent from camp at one time. Brigade head quarters, however, has taken up the gauntlet and will probably meet tho Thirteenth's cracks on Saturday. Neither team has yet been selected. THE CAMP POSTMASTER. Attorney Robert Peck Is postmaster. Ho has been sworn in as a United States mall carrier and travels between Hazleton and Lattlmer with the extra protection of Uncle Sam about him. Tho hospital still continues to be the most avoided place in camp. A regularly established and modernly equipped signal corps Is ono of the probable results of tho encampment. Sergeant Paul do Paschalls, a former lieutenant In the French army and an export In the slznal service, Is being talked of as chief of the corps. One of the Interesting sights of yes terday was Prothonotary Baker, of Susquehanna county: Tax Collector Conklln and Shoo Merchant Enoch Smith, of Montrose, digging ditches on Company G street. Uncle John Anneman already has a speaking acquaintance with every man, woman and child In Lattlmer. Yester day he met Calvin Pardee, sr., who went out with him in '61, and as can bo believed the meeting was a hearty, if not to say affectionate one. The mil lionaire coal operator and the humble janitor walked from the car to head quarters with their arms around each other and for the nonce tho millionaire forgot all about his striking miners, and the Janitor ceased to worry about the possibility of a speck of dust de facing the appearance of old "Uncle John" up in the Griffin Post rooms at Scranton. Major Oakford, provost marshal, rodo up from Hazletw today und wns tho guest of Colonel Mattes until evening. Every single mnn In tho regiment Is going to be married nrxt veek If It Is true for themselves. That 5s about tho only excuse which Is eifoitual In secur ing a furlough. Tommy Murphy, of Company C, has written to Chairman Morgan Sweeney, of lh vice nnd Immorality committee of common council, complaining of cer- Continued on Pago 8. LOUISE AGAIN EXPELLED. Tlio 1'nmous French Anarchist Driv en Tram Brussels. Brussels, Sept. 1G.-Loulso Michel, tho notorious French anarchist, was expelled from the city today by tho police.

Lofton was appointed about threo months ago In tho faco of violent opposition on tho part or tho whlto patrons of tho office, and It Is svp posed that politics had something to do with tho attack on him.
