JL Jftlt iH M;l If CJ1 v-j BUT ONE IDLE COLLIERY The Strike at Hazleton Is Now Practically at an End. TROOPS TO BE WITHDRAWN Thirteenth Will Probably Be First to Leave. As There Aro No Strikers in the Vicinity of IjiiUlmcr, nnd the Loca tion of the Regiment Is Unfavorable for Practice Work, It Is Probnblo That the Scrantoa Militia Com panies Will Ho Scut Home first. No .Men Have liccn Discharged. Special to Tho Scranton Tribune. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 22. Undaunted by the disappointment of yesterday's unsuccessful effort to start up its Sil ver Brook colliery, Wentz & Co. caused the breaker whistle to be blown again tills morning and as they confidently expected enough' men responded to permit of resumption. This leaves but one Idle colliery, tho Jeansvlllo of tli. Lehigh Valley company. This, how ever, will In nil likelihood start up to moirow, the company being encour aged to give nn order for resumption from Informal talks -with tho men during the day. Pardee's Ilarwood colliery is the only l&rse mine that Is working with a ecaiity force. The place stalled up with an almost full compliment : -terday but this morning when the time to begin operations arrived tho men 'who had staid out relnforcel by, or rather reinforcing a crowd of men, iMfcced many of those who wee will ing to wotk not to go in. It 'vaa ai-t to much through fear of violence as a tdirIio to avoid being Jeered at by the women and called scabs and blacklegs by the few remaining strikers that kept them from going to work. A troop of cavalry will be on the scene at day break tomorrow morning to prevent a repetition of yesterday's assembling nnd It Is more than probable that all those willing to work will be on hand vhen they see the seeming obstacle of this morning removed. At present there is not, at any one point, excepting Jeanesville, mor2 than half a hundred or so of what can be termed out and out strikers. Some of the collieries, particularly those at Lattimer, where tho Thirteenth regi ment is stationed, are working with a complete force and at such collieries as. have resumed with a small force the men are gradually coming back and tomorrow unless something un expected Intervenes there will bo a fairly full force at work at all these places. NO MAN DISCHARGED. Up to date not a single instance is icportcd of nny man being discharged for participation in the strike. Calvin Pnidee disavows the statement attri buted to him that any man not on hand when the whistle would blow Monday morning (last) would be re fused his plnce. The fact that men were taken back Tuesday, makes Tar dee's denial unquestionable. Coxe & Co.'s men at Drifton, as ex plained in Tuesday's Tribune, nre to quit tomonow if the company does not grant their demands an increase In wages, averaging ten per cent. Un till I tonlght nothing had been learned of ' me company's intention and the men are anxiously-looking for a notice on tho company bulletin board In tho morning. The chances are, In view of the strike being over, that the Drifton men will not attempt a single-handed struggle. The policy of the company makes It quite safe to conjecture that if thcie Is no notice of concession on the bulletin board, tomorrow morning, which your conespondent can say from talks had at different times with officials if the company Is very prob able, there will be nn offer of a con ference to adjust differences, such as Is now on between Superintendent Lawall and the 1,700 Lehigh and Wilkes-Barro men at Audenrled and Honeyhrook. But for tho burning of the Evans Coal Mining company's breaker at Beaver Meadow last night there was every reason to believe from guarded admissions of General Gobln that or ders for the withdrawal of the troops would have been Issued yesterday and that some of them would have had to morrow mornlng'flxed as the time for their departure. The belief that the fire was of Incendiary origin, tho an onymous letters threatening the appli cation of the vandal's torch and the fear that the supposed Incendiarism would be repeated caused General Gobln to dismiss all consideration of the matter of oxacuation. During the day, however, when further facts nnd time for calm and more scrutinizing consideration presented tho matter In tho light that possibly tho fire was an accident, and If Jt wasn't, It was, at tho Worst, tho work nf ji nrnn'r flint tho strikersjojther "sYtfkers 'rtmt . i.J-Vtml "nve sane cause for r -Cl'slrlng such a thing, and finally that a little extra precaution on the part of the coal companies' watchmen, whlcfl the fire will of course affect, will pre vent a repetition at other breakers, there was a change of sentiment at brigade headquarters and during the afternoon the matter If withdrawing the troops, which General Gobln would not consider at all at early morn, was laid before the governor. General Gobln, to all Interviewers who propounded this question, said ho would have something definite to say on the matter at 3 o'clock' In the after noon. At that hour a croup of corre spondents, The Tribune representative among them, awaited on the general In tho main ofllco of the Lehigh Valley hotel, through which apartment is tho only means of egress to tho room used ns headquarters. Some minutes after the appointed hour the general, with Major Gherst, came down stairs and, Just as they were expected to enter the office, they turned to tho left and disappeared through a side door. When thev did not return during the course of Ave or six minutes, inquiries were made of the orderly for the general, and It was learned that "tho general and Major Gherst left some time ago for a visit to the Eighth regiment at Audenrled, and possibly others." Then it dawned upon tho newspapermen thnt when tho general disappeared through the side door that his horse was kept at tho rear of tho hotel and that he was bound thither to get It. Whether or not ho had anything to say to the newspapermen Is still a ques tion. He will undoubtedly give out something on this matter tomorrow, and the probabilities are, in view of his change o' sentiment today, that it will be an announcement that some at least of the troops will bo started home Fri day or Salurfiav. The fact that there is not a striker In the region covered by the Thirteenth nnd that thrv are in the least advan tageous location of any of the regi ments for doing general patrol work makes It appear quite probable that they will be among the first to be sent home. T. J. D. ANNEXATION IS RATIFIED. Tho Hawaiian Sennto Consents to Treaty Uotwcen Thnt Country nnd United States. San Francisco, Sept. 22. Although the steamship City of Peking, which arrived last night from Honolulu, brought the news that the annexation treaty had been ratified by the Ha waiian senate on the eighth Instant, no details were obtainable until this morn ing, the mails having been delayed in quarantine for twelve hours.

TESTIMONY AT THE MARTIN HEARING Judge Lynch Hears Witnesses Wilkcs'Barrc. at ADMISSIONS MADO BY STRIKERS Mnnv Witnesses Said Thnt Their Ob Jcct in Going to Luttlmur Was lo Induce Other .Miners to Quit Work nnd Join Them I'corl's Testimony-Seventy. throe Deputies Glvo Hall. Wllkes-Barre, Sept. 22. The taking of testimony In tho preliminary hear ing of the Commonwealth vs. Sheriff Martin and deputies was resumed to day. Many of tho commonwealth's stronger witnesses admitted, on cross examlmllon, that their object In going to Lattpner was to get the men at work there to quit and Join them. Anthony Benovltch testified that he was In the seventh row ot the march ing column. The sheriff called out something. Then ho took hold of tho witness by the coat collar nnd pointed his revolver at him. Witness pushed the revolver nslde. Then he heard the sheriff give the commnnd to fire. He said Sheriff Martin was about three hundred yards In advance of the depu ties. Martin Sholockl was Buffering much pain from a bullet wound In the should er when he took the stand. He said he was running toward the bush when he was Rhot. He saw the sheriff In tho middle of tho road, heard him say something, and Immediately the firing began. Ho admitted that he was with the mob at West Hazleton in the morn ing when the sheriff warned them to go home. Mrs. Kate Case, who resides at Lat tlmer, swore that the neighborhood was terrorized because the rumor got around that the strikers intended to blow up the town. She said she lied to . the mountains with her family, as did a number of her neighbors. Mrs. Ellen Witchle, who was on a car going to Lattimer, said: "I know nothing of the strikers. The deputies got on my car to Intercept the strikers. I noticed the deputies lined along tho first houses In Lattimer and when the strikers came the sheriff walked from his deputies Into the road and stopped the men. Then the shooting began and the deputies held their guns so care less that those In the car were In dan ger." "Did you see the men do anything?" asked Judge Lynch. "No, sir; I did not see them do any thing. They came along very quiet ly." "Did you see those men do anything at all7" asked Fell. "No, sir, I did not." SIGHT-SEERS EXPERIENCE. Math las Czaja, one of the strikers said ho was marching with the men and was shot in the back. He said: "When we got to Lattimer I saw men stnndlng with guns. Tho sheriff came and told us to stop. The sheriff pulled out his revolver, pointed It at the man who carried the flag and he said: 'If you go further I will shoot you I was frightened. The sheriff got on the out side, said something and tho firing began." On cross examination the witness said that be came out to see the crowd passing and they mado him go with them. "You were afraid of them?" asked Lenahan, counsel for the defense. "Yes, sir." "They compelled you to go with them?" "Yes, sir." Anthony Angeno, nn Italian, said he met tho strikers and they compelled him to march with them. Andrew Sivar, No. 2, of Harwood, one of the strikers, said: "I was In the third or fourth lino of marchers. I saw the men with the guns nlong the road nnd wo were stopped by the sherlfr. Some one said: 'Go on' and tho sheriff grabbed him and pointed a revolver at his breast. Then the shooting be gan and I laid on tho ground until it was over. It lasted about two min utes." "Did the sheriff read a paper?" asked Fell "No, sir." "Did he attempt to read a paper?" asked Judge Lynch. "No sir. he did not." "Did the men make any demonstra tion?" asked Fell. "No: one of the men pushed the sheriff's revolver away. That was all." Jacob Sewa, another of the marching strikers, said: "I was ten yards from tho front. I saw tho deputy sheriffs with the guns and when tho firing be gan I dropped In a ditch and lay there. I was afraid I would bo shot." At this point District Attorney Fell said: "I might state to the court that although there have been some re marks made here about the conduct of this case, we have subpoenaed all tho witnesses who knew anything of this shooting, but I believe they know noth ing different from what has already been adduced. There are thirty-three witnesses to be heard." TERRI'S TESTIMONY. Judge Lynch said he had heard suf ficient of this kind of evidence, but after some Inquiry John Terri volun teered something new. He said: "When the shooting was over I went back to give my uncle and cousin something to drink; they were wounded; a deputy named Clark said: 'aive them h .' Then he got a hold of me and kicked le-tJPnlVtfJ1WeJU5.'lner for nn nour. "Were yovra striker?" nBked Fell. "Yes; we were stopped by the sheriff. Some one behind shoved and then the shooting began." "Did the sheriff take a paper out of his pocket?" asked Fell. "No, sir; he told us to stop and go back." Joseph Shekosky, a striker, said; "When we reached Lattimer the sher iff wob on the left liand side and tho crowd were pushing on the right hand side. The sheriff snapped his revolver twice. Then the sheriff shot a man in tho arm with' his revolver. The man cried 'Oh, my arm,' took hold of It and tho blood came." That being all the Important testi mony the Judges had a conference and Judge Lynch nuked Mr. Fell what ho wished done. Mr. Fell said: "Under tho evidence I think these deputies should bo hold for court." The Judgw then dsked why the other deputies wore not arrested and Senator Klino said BOmo of thifm went away nfter tho shooting and have not been seen or heard of since.
