lieries of This District Are Now,
and Have Been, for Some Time
1 Past, Cutting Coal, Loading It Into
Cars and Storing at "tho Foot,"
Preparatory to Hoisting Cayuga
Has Sent Out Coal Mined Since
tho Strike Began Carbondale
Strikers Renew Efforts to Prevent
Work of Any Kind Around the Col
lieries of tho Region Board of
Trade Called Upon to Father a
Monster Petition to tho Operators
to Arbitrate More Strike Arrests.
It now leaks out thut coal In con
siderable quantities Is being cut und
loaded nt many collieries. The work is
being done by undcr-bosses, company
hands and returned strikers. To uvold
drawing the fire of tho strikers, and
thereby making the workmen, less liable
to be held up by strikers' pickets, the
companies are covering their operations
by not hoisting the coal to the surface.
It Is simply loaded und run to the foot,
ready to be taken up when the com
panies see fit to do so.
Superintendent Rose, of the Delaware
and Hudson company, when told by a
Tribune reporter yesterday that it was
learned, on reliable authority, the com
panies were doing some mining, said:
"Yes, coal Is being cut und loaded every
day In a dozen different places by our
company, and other companies are
doing the same tiling," When asked
where this work was being done, Mr.
Rose smiled and said: "I'll toll you
later."
The Cayuga colliery of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company Is
one place where It Is known to almost
a certainty that considerable coal is
being cut. This colliery has also hoist
ed coal and sent It away.
The first stir among the striking
miners In Carbondale In many weeks
was made yesterday morning, when
acting on Instructions given out at
meetings held on Sunday, in which
National Organizer Collins was the
leading spirit, pickets stationed along
tho highway turned back men from the
Racket Brook washery and from the
big Coalbrook breaker. Both are Dela
ware and Hudson company properties.
RESUMED AT NOON.
Though the force of pickets at tho
Racket Brook apparently over-awed
the workmen who have been operating
the washery throughout the strike and
caused them to turn back, the attempt
to shut down the place was not the
success the miners built on when they
withdrew. At noon, the Delaware and
Hudson company recalled a sufficient
number of men, the interrupted opera
tions were resumed and continued until
nightfall.
It does not appear that the strikers
had much missionary work to do at the
Coalbrook, for only a few men came
along to go to work. It appears that
the report that this attempted resump
tion was a false alarm. The miners,
however, were out In force nnd were
stationed along the approaches to the
Immense breaker as early as 6 o'clock.
The handful of men who approached
the breaker have been nt work about
tho mine for several days. The miners
themselves were pretty certain that
there would not be enough men on hand
to resume, but their officers decided to
take no chances and the miners were
ordered to come out. The few employes
or supposed employes, who were mot
with, would be a mighty small factor in
tho operating of a breaker like the
Coalbrook.
There was a demonstration at tho
Northwest breaker of the Temple Coal
and Iron company, at Simpson, in
i which the women of the settlement.
mostly foreigners, were the most con
spicuous, They succeeded In turning
back the score or more of men who
have been at work about the new
breaker that has been In construction
for several weeks. This Is the second
time that tho women of this locality
have taken a hand In Inducing the
builders nt this breaker to desist.
ASSAULTED A CRIPPLE.
There was a riotous time In connec
tion with tho demonstration at the
Northwestern breuker,

turn to his work of watching,
aboutitho breaker, which Is in process
of construction, Hutler wus again set
upon nnd was forced to hobble back to
his homo as quickly as his disabled
condition would allow.
After tho morning attack, Constablo
Edward Ncnry was summoned to the
scene of disorder. Butler, In the mean
time, went before Squire Williams, of
No. 4, and had warrants sworn out for
the women whom he recognized among
his angry pursuers. Those whom he
accused were Mrs. Andrew Moran, her
daughter, Ella Moran; Mrs. Mnry Yen
dow, Mary Gllmore, Mrs. John Mc
Coole, Mrs. Iguatz Morlnsltl, Mrs.
Lewis Thomas.
All of the parties are from Simpson,
where Hutler also lives. Tho charge
against each Is aggravated assault und
battery, and the calling of approbtiotis
names. Butler swears that the wo
men shouted "scab" at him while they
chased him. v
As Squire Williams is quite a dis
tance from the homo of the uccused
women, Constublo Neary allowed them
to remain nt home on their promise to
enter ball before Squire Holmes, at
Simpson. If this condition is not ful
filled this morning, the constable will
take them before Squire Williams. Ad
ditional warrants for others of the
crowd will be served, probably today.
Butler, though a cripple and with
several dependent' on him, has been
held In contempt and derision ever
since the strike, because he chose to
remain at work. A few weeks ago, he
was hung in effigy from one of the
poles in the village of Simpson.
SHERIFF TO BE PRESENT.
Sheriff Schadt will go to Carbondale
with a number of deputies this morning
at B o'clock, to prevent a repetition of
yesterday's disorder.
The following open letter, calling on
the board of trade to father a monster
petition to the operators to agree to
arbitration, was, yesterday, sent to The
Tribune by Rev. Thomas B. Payne,
pastor of All Souls Unlvcrsallst church:
An Open Letter to tho Board of Trade.
Gentlemen: It is now about thrco
months since the so-called "anthraclto
strike" of tho mines of these valleys was
Inaugurated. This strike was decided
upon as a last resort, after tho minors
had exhausted every honorable means,
without success, In their endeavor to se
cure, at the hands of tho "coal opera
tors," a redress of "grievances." Beforo
calling for a cessation of Jabor, they
inade their last appeal to tmportinl arbi
tration. To each and nil appeals, the
"coal operators" reply has bcn "uncon
ditional surrender."
Gentlemen, tho board of trade of tho
city of Scranton wo all know to be com
posed of wise, experienced, Impartial,
Christian men, Men who are interested In
the welfure of the city. Did over a situa
tion affecting the Interests of the city
call for your board's utmost endeavors
more loudly than the present strike sit
uation? It would seem to me, your an
swer must be "never. Is there not
something It ran do? I believe there is.
It is true, tho "operators" have sent
out word that no outside lnlluenco will
be tolerated. They will settle it their own
way. Well, that need scare no one. I be
lieve tho greatest empire the world has
ever seen during the last two yearn, sev
eral times said something similar to that,
and nt last was glad to take back a great
deal of It, and found It to Its advantage
to do so. It Is nt least possible the "coal
operators" may ultimately do a similar
thing.
Now, In view of the fact that tho
rights of tho millions of this common
wealth are paramount to the rights of tho
"operators," tbe lights of tho "minors,"
the rights of both combined; nnd In view
of the further fact that tho miners are
willing to abide by the decision of an im
partial board of arbitration, nnd to which
suggestion the "operators" have turned a
(leaf ear; therefore, I would respectfully
suggest that the board of trade of tho
city of Scranton, tho largest city of tho
anthraclto region, Inaugurate at once, a
monster petition of not less than two
million names, and present it to tho "op.
erntors," praying them to accept tho
principle of Impartial arbitration, to tho
end that tho present lamentable condition
of things In these regions may corao to a
quiet nnd peaceable, ending. Such a pe
tition can bo completed In ten days and
must neons uc iistcneu to.
Sincerely, and respectfully yours,
Thomas B. Payne,
Pastor All Souls' Unlvcrsallst Church.
WOMAN ARRESTED.
Mrs. Kate Remmet, of Olyphant, had'
Michael Doherty, a neighbor, arraigned
before Alderman Howe yesterday on
the charge of using vile language, mak
ing threats to shoot her, und calling
her a "scab."
Mrs, Remmet's husband refused to'
quit work on account of the strike, and
Doherty was on n committee to per
suade him to quit und It Is alleged, lost
his head when talking to tho woman.
The woman did not desire to hnvo
Doherty Imprisoned, and consented to
his release when he paid the costs and
entered ball to keep tho peace.
Tho strikers tire arranging for a
series of big muss meetings through
out the whole region. President Mitch
ell will, It is said, make the rounds of
tho different strike centers, addressing
these meetings. The purpose of the
meetings is to forestall uny possible
weakening or the men.

HEARING IN THE
WASHERY CASE
JUDGE NEWCOMB IS TAKINfi
THE TESTIMONY.
Archbald Borough Authorities Con
tend That the Elk Hill Coal and
Iron Company Is Guilty of Commit
ting a Nuisance Tho Company De
fends on tho Ground That It Has
a Legal Bight and Inferential Per
mission to Do What Is Complained
of Other Court Mattors.
Judge E. C. Newcomb yesterday be
gan the hearing on tho rule for an In
junction, secured by the Borough of
Archbald to restrain tho Elk Hill Coal
and Iron company from running the
water from Its Archbald washery Into
what the borough claims is a city
gutter.
Borough Attorney Richard J. Bourko,
John J. Murphy and ex-Judge J. W.
Carpenter appeared for tho plaintiff. J.
18. Burr and O'Brien & Martin repre
sented the defense. W. A. Mtiy, gen
crnl munnger of tho company, und
Wllllnm Murphy, superintendent of the
washery, sat at the defendant's table.
Burgess P. J. Burke, John J. McHulc,
president of the council, and a number
of other borough, officials were present
nnd gave testimony In support of the
Injunction netltlon.
The company draws water from the
Lackawanna river through thrco six-
Inch pipes, nnd after using It nt the
washery empties it Into a sluiceway
which extends down Bohemian street
a dlstnnco of 115 feet. Then the water
crosses Main street, through a box cul
vert nnd finds tho river tigaln.
The plaintiffs claim that the company
has no right to empty water Into the,
gutter and that by reason of Its doing
so causes a nuisance, as the flow is too
great for the gutter and washes away
the street.
NATURAL STREAM.
The company alleges that a natural
stream has Its source on the washery
property and that the gutter In ques
tion Is nothing more or less than an
extension of this natural water-course.
The company claims the right to empty
water into the natural stream.
Just before the strike, an ordinance
was before council granting tho com
pany the right to allow Its washery
water to course through the borough
gutters. The closing down of the wash
ery halted the passage of the ordinance.
When the company reopened the wash
cry last Tuesday the council passed a
resolution forbidding the company the
use of the gutter. The company paid
no heed to the mandate of the council,
hence the injunction proceedings.
The testimony yesterday was mainly
descriptive of the conditions as de
scribed above. Todav the enmnnnv will
put in its defense. Among other things
ii win snow mat tne oorough officials
requested the company to build the
sluiceway which carries tlm wntor fnv
a part of the length of Bohemian street
ana tnat it was informally, at least,
approved by the borough, when It wns
completed.
The company, through Attorney Burr,
argued yesterday that It Is entitled to
use me water course under the decis
ion in the celebrated case of the Penn
sylvania Coal company against San
derson. Judge Newcomb gave It as his
opinion that the cases were In no way
similar, but invited the defendant's
counsel to proceed with what argu
ments they might have to support their
contention. Mr. Burr will be heard on
the matter today.
In the Sanderson case the plaintiff
was upheld in pumping water from its
mine and allowing it to take to a nat
ural water course, despite the fact that
It killed fish In the defendant's pond,
erected on the stream somo distance
below the colliery. In this case, tho
judge pointed out, the company pol
lutes the water by washing culm with
It before it deposits it where it where
it finds Its way Into the city's gutter.

EARTHQUAKES AND CAUSES.
Fruitful Investigations of Phenom
ena May Follow Suggestions,
From tho Sun Fruncisco Chronicle,
Ono of tho most disastrous ftirth
qunltes of recent times Is that reported
from Russian Transcaucasia, Tho town
of Shamaka has been practically de
stroyed, only a dozen houses being left
standing, while a population of 25,000
has been rendered homeless, Tho num
ber of fatalities Is us yet unknown.
Perhaps It never will be correctly de
termined, for tho fissured earth swal
lowed up some of tho victims, and
others are burled In ruins where they
may never be disturbed, Over 300 bodies
had been recovered ut the latest ac
counts. To tho student of seismic phenomena
tho Interesting and suggestive feature
in tho Shaiuuku earthquake Is that It
has occurred in the neighborhood of
the Baku oil district the most produc
tive field In tho world, not excepting
that of Beaumont, In Texas, It Is,
furthermore, n, section of tho world
which hus hitherto been excinnt from
these phenonienu. The scientific In
quirer will naturally search for a cause,
