men occurred this afternoon when three
former employes of the Kingston Coal

men who went out at the Pine KIdgc
mine' of the Delaware and Hudson
company at Miners Mills also request
ed that their old places be given back
to them and the superintendent of the
colliery told them they might have
them.
Since, the strike of steummcn was In
augurated on June 2 a large number of
engineers and pumpmen have gone
back to work, but the firemen remained
firm. Some of the operators now pre
dict' that since 11 break has occurred in
the ranks of the firemen it will only be
a. short time until a break occurs in
the ranks of the miners. The officers
of. the Stationary Firemen's Associa
tion stated tonight that they attach no

ed to suffocation. Among the specta

. the arrested men got fair play. A num
ber of deputies testified that the pris

Dne of the mines this morning and tried
to Intimidate some of the employes.

one of the deputies. The riot uct was
then read and the mob refusing to dis
perse, the deputy sheriff and his posse

-tng railroaded to Wllkcs-Burro. The

, denec held the defendants to $500 ball
'' for trial at court. Sir. Fallon could not

PROGRESS AT POCAHONTAS.
Coal Operators Are Satisfied with the
Situation.
By Eicluslvc Wire from The Associated Prew.
Roanoke, Va., July 2. Reports from
the Pocahontns Flat Top coal fields to
the Norfolk and Western Hallway com
pany today Indicated that the operators
are satisfied with the progress made.
There Is little uneasiness felt over the
npproach of the Fourth of July, and
while It Is expected there will be u
practical suspension of operations
throughout the fields on that day, It Is
believed that every t man who stops
work to take the holiday will be back
In the mines on the 5th or on the fol
lowing Monday at the latest. The ofll-
&lals do not believe that the ordering
of a general strike In the bituminous
fields by the convention at Indianapolis
on the 17th Instant will affect the Po
cahontas Flat Top fields. The operators
are confident that they will be able to
retain their present working force
against any strike order that may be
issued from any aource.
The present loading In the Pocahon
tas fields Is fully 75 per cent, of tho
normal output. The Tug River field Is
still closed down, and practically no
coal Is being mined In that territory.

ABOUT YOUNG DISBROW
Examination of the Case Begins Be
fore Justice Foster of Good
Ground, L. I.
By Exclmhc Wire from The Associated Pre.
New York, July 2. The examination

is accused of having murdered Sarah
Lawrence and Clarence Foster on the
morning of June 15 last, was formally
begun by Justice of the Peace 13d ward
II. Foster in Clood Ground, L. I., today.
The widow of Clarence Foster was
present In court when the hearing was
begun.
John Caffery testified as to the find
ing of the body of Foster floating in
Tiana bay.
John Squires, owner of one of the
two boats found adrift in Tiana bay,
was unable to say whether or not his
boat was moored on the night of the
disappearance of Foster and the girl.
Willis Wells, a liveryman, s-aid that
Foster came to his place on Monday
night, June 9, and hired a one-seated
runabout built to hold two persons.
Later In the evening Wells saw the
runabout with three poifrons In It. He
recognized them as Miss Lawrence,
Foster and DIsbrow. The next morn
ing he said the rig was driven Into
his yard by DIsbrow. It was scratched
In some places and DIsbrow offered to
pay for the damage which Wells said
would amount to ten dollars. DIsbrow
tendered a check for $20. Wells did not
have the right change, and Dishrow
said that it did not matter that he
would bo back In two days and settle
the bill. Since that time he had not
seen DIsbrow until he saw him in court
this morning.
Coroner Nugent testified that he was
present at the autopsy of Foster's body
and suw no reason to change his orig
inal finding, that death was due to
drowning.
Miss Ellon F. Peaisall said she oc
cupied a room at Tornall's hotel oppos
ite one taken by DIsbrow. Her testi
mony Indicated that there was a quar
rel either between DIsbrow and Foster
or DIsbrow and his two companions,
and then a reconciliation, ending in an
agreement for DIsbrow to accompany
Foster and Miss Lawrence in a boat.
Miss Pearsall, In testifying to what she
heard, said that DIsbrow exclaimed,
with an oath, "I'll settle this in the
morning."
The case was. then adjourned until
tomorrow morning. DIsbrow was tak
en back to jail.
