By Eveluslve Wire from The Ap-octated Press.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Sept. 8. A tight
occurred between striking miners at
Maltby this morning, which resulted In
the dentil of one man and the fatal
Injury of another. The victims were
Italians. The name of the man killed
was Slstleno Van Castelll, aged 36. His
companion, Frank Portay, was stabbed
several times and he Is not expected
in live. He Is now In the Wilkes-Barre
hospital.
All last night strikers gathered In the
vicinity of the Maltby mine of the Le
high Valley Coal company at Maltby
and the Harry K. colliery at Forty
Fort. It was rumored that both of
these mines were to start today with
n full force of men, and the strikers
had pickets out on all roads leading to
the mines to Intercept any men who
might be on their way to work. A
heavy fog prevailed and It was difllcult
to see people In the roadway. Shortly
nftcr 7 o'clock a number of strikers on
guard at the Maltby colliery saw two
men approaching. They carried guns.
The pickets came to the conclusion at
mice that they were non-union men go
ing to work armed. The strangers
were held up. The strikers crowded
.around them. One striker in the crowd
wjio could understand the language
mated one of the men' spoke In Italian,
and said he and his companion were
starting nut on a hunting trip, and that
tlicy were union miners. But the other
strikers did not know what was said,
and still thinking that the foreigners
were non-union men on their way to
work at the colliery, attempted to take
the gun away from Van Castelll. He
resisted. A fight then ensued and soon
the two Italians were lying In a pool
of blood iti the roadway. Van Castelll
was shot In the side and the left side
of Ids face was crushed in. His com
panion, Portay, was stabbed In the side
several times.
A number of coal and iron policemen
were on the scene a few minutes after
the discharge of the gun was heard.
Van Custom was dead and Portay was
unconscious. The dead man was taken
to his boarding house nearby, and his
compan ion was brought to the hospi
tal In this city. In one of the pockets
of Van CnHtelli'H coat was found u
union miner's card.
The Mob Dispersed.
The news of the riot brought a large
number of deputy sheriffs to the scene,
mid upon their arrival the mob dis
persed. No arrests have yet been made.
A crowd of 2,000 men and boys sur
rounded the town hall of the borough
of Kdwiirdsvllle tills morning. Hiram
Fisher was conllnrd In the lockup
there. Fisher, who Is enlarged with
shooting a Polish woman last night,
llrrd Into a number of strikers who
held him up, and the bullets went wild
and struck the woman, who was seated
on the stoop of lirr house. After being
terribly beaten byUho mob, Fisher was
Dually lodged In the town lockup.
A miib surrounded the place all night,
threatening to demolish the lockup.
Fisher suffered much from his Injuries,
mid Burges-s Duniln was afraid to give
the man a hearing, as the crowd on the
outside threatened to lynch him ir they
laid their hands on him. At noon,
under strong guard, Fisher was re
moved to an ambulance and driven to
this city, where his Injuiles were
dressed at the hospital. Some of the
foreigners attempted to hold up the
mubulance, but were driven off by
the special olllcers. Burgees Dando
breathed a sigh of relief when ho got
the man out of his bailiwick.
Sheriff Jacobs was much exercised
today over the riots, and bloodshed in
the county, and at one time It was
thought ho would have to call upon the
jullltla for aid, Some citizens urged
him to do so without deluy. But this
afternoon order was pretty well re
stored In the Wyoming region, and if
there are no further outbreaks the
sheriff will not ask the governor for
trnoos,
The court today appointed D, J, Rod
erick, of Hazletpn, mine inspector of
tho Fifth district, to succeed W. II,
Davis, resigned,

FIGHTING STEEL TRUST.
Mr. Hodge's Attorneys Allege That
Corporation Attempts to Stifle
Inquiry of Court.
Dy Exclusive Wire from The Asociatid Press.
New York, Sept. S. A brief was Died
today in .Newark, N. J., by the com
plainants In tho action of J, Aspln-
wall Hodge, jr., and others, against the
United States Steel corporation to pre
vent the retirement of $200,000.uu0 pro
found stock and the issue of $1!50,000,000
bonds by tho corporation. The brief
opposes a motion by the corporation's
attorneys that the suit be dismissed as
a conspiracy.
Affidavits by Mr. Hodge as to his
good faith In the suit and by John
H. Lancaster denying alleged admis
sions made by him to n clerk of Mr.
Guthrie of counsel for the defendant
corporation also were filed today.
The brief filed by the attorneys for
Mr. Hodge accuses the United States
Steel corporation and Its attorneys of
tampering with James H. Lancaster, a
witness for the complainants, of being
afraid to examine Mr. Hodge, of Intim
idating would-be complainants, and of
attempting to delay a judicial decision
on the merits of the case.
"As the position of these professional
majority stockholders becomes mora
safe from ordinary attack, their bold
ness In violating equity and good mor
als proportionately Increases," says Mr.
Hodge, through his lawyers. "It is be
coming more and more important for
them to stifle inquiry In court, and
therefore, as a first step, to make It so
disagreeable to sue them that they will
not be sued," In conclusion the com
plainants ask for an early decision on
their motion for an Injunction to re
strain the proposed retirement of stock
and Itsuc of bonds,

DOUBTS REGARDING ,
JUVENILE COURT.
Judge Arnold Sonds Prisoners to
Criminal Court for Trial.
Dy Exclusive Wire from The Associated I'icss.
Philadelphia, Sept. 8 Whether or not
the Juvenile court has tho right to ex
ist Is a question that has been puz
zling tho lawyers and Judges of the
state since tho trlhunnl was established
on June II, 1301, and, while there has
been no judicial decision In the locnl
courts on the subject, Judge Arnold
took action yesterday on n point which
Is slgnincant In that It throws light
upon one of the chief contentions o
those attacking he system.
Several boys, when arraigned today,
pleaded not guilty to the charges pre
ferred against them and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Von Moschzlsker asked
Judge Arnold If he would hear wit
nesses to determine the defendants'
guilt or Innocence.
"I'm" not a jury," Judge Arnold said.
"I'm sitting here merely as a quarter
sessions Judge, 'and I have no more
right to determine the guilt or Inno
cence of a boy than I havo that of a
man."
He thereupon directed that the boys
be sent to the regular criminal court
to be tried by jury. Judge Arnold also
ordered that the signs of the court
room doors bearing the words "Juven
ile court" be removed.
THE MAINE ELECTIONS.
Republicans and Democrats Both Sus

Quietude at the Polls.
Dy Exclinive.Wire from The Associated Piess.
Portland, Me., Sept. S. Republicans
and Democrats both had losses In to
day's elections, the returns from 200
cities nnd towns showing 14 per cent,
decrease for the former and 12 per cent.
loss for the Democrats, as compared
with the governor's vote of two years
ago.
These two hundred places give fig
ures as follows:
For governor: Hill (Hep.), 34,031;
Gould (Dem.), 20,310.
The same towns two years ago gave
Hill (Hep.), 39,620; Lord (Dem.), 23,272.
The Indicated plurality for Governor
John W". Hill on the figures given Is
27,000. Congressional returns indicate
thnt all four Republican congressmen,
Amos L. Allen, of Sanford, In the First;
Charles E. Littlelleld, of Rockland, In
tho Second; Edwin C, Burleigh, of Aug
usta, In the Third, and Llewellyn Pow
ers, of Houlton, In tho Fourth, are re
elected by the usual pluralities, their
vote running close upon that for gov
ernor. IneonipiUc figures show thut
Congressman Littlelleld has made the
best run of all.
Tho election was marked by good
weather, quietude at the polls and an
uncommonly large number of irregular
ballots. The latter was the leading
feature of tho day. Never before in the
history of the Australian ballot system
In Maine had so much cutting been
done. In at least four of the big coun
ties or the state, Cumberland, Andro
scoggin, York and Hancock, there were
contests for the sheriff election based
on' local differences relative to tho en
forcement of the prohibitory law, but
In other sections there was little to
bring out a full party vote.

Away with the Tendency to Soft
ness. By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tress.
Chattanooga, Sept. 8. President
Roosevelt was elected an honorary
member of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen todny. He attended
the executive session of the irder In
the morning, walking from the hotel to
the auditorium, escorted by Grand
Master Sargent, a committee of the
brotherhood and a detachment of
Troop B, of tho State Guard. The
brotherhood first held Its executive ses
sion, which the president attended.
Acting Grand Master Hannahan wel
comed him.
The president returned thanks. He
said, In part:
Mr. Gland Master, Governor McMillan,
Sir. Mayor, My Brothers and all of you,
Men and Women of Tennessee, My Fel
low Citizens, My Fellow Americans:
I am Kind to bo here today. I am glad
to come as the guest of the Brother
hood. Let me join with you, the mem
bois of the Brotherhood of this coun
try, in extending a. most cordial wel
come to our fellows from Canada and
Mexico. Tho fact that wo are good
Americans only makes us all the better
men, all tho more dclrous of seeing good
fortune to all mankind. I needed no
pressing influence to accept tho Invitation
to come to this meeting. I have always
admired greatly tho railway men of tho
country: and I do not see. bow any ouo
who believes hi what I regard as tho fun
damental virtues of citizenship..-can' 'fall
to do so. I "want o see the average
American a game man, an honest man.
and a man who can handle himself, nnd
who does handle himself well, under dif
ficulties. The Iat time I ever saw General Sher
man I dined at his house, and wo got td
talking ever the capacity of different
soldiers and tho general happened to say
that If ever there were another war and
ho were to have a command, ho would
endeavor to get as many railway men as
possible under him. 1 asked him why
and he said because, on account of their
profession they havo developed certain
qualities which aro essential In a sol
dier. In tho first place, they aro accus
tomed to taking risks; there aro a great
many men who aro naturally brave, but
being entirely unaccustomed to risks, aro
at first appalled by them. They are ac
customed to enduring hardships; they
nro accustomed to Irregular hours: they
are accustomed to act on their own re
sponsibility, on their own initiative, and
yet they aro accustomed to obeying or
ders quick. In raising my own regi
ment, which was raised mainly In tho
southwest, partly in tho territory In
which Mr. Sargent himself served ns a
soldier at one time, In Arizona, 1 got a
number of railway men. Of course, tho
first requisite was -that n man should
know how to shoot and how to ride. Wo
were raising tho regiment In n hurrry
and we did not have time 'to teach him
either. Ho had to know how to handle
a horso and how to handle a rifle, to start
with; but given tho possession of those
two qualities, T found that there was no
group of our citizens from which greater
men could be drawn to do a soldier's
work tu n tight place, and at all times
than the raiiway man. But gentlemen,
tho period of war is but n fractional
part of tho life of our republic nnd I
hopo nnd bellovo that It will bo an oven
smaller part in the futuro than It has
been In tho past.
Believes in Organized Labor. -I
bollovo emphatically In organized la
bor, I bcllevo In organizations of wage
woikcrs. Organization Is ono of the laws
of our Hoclal and economic department at
this time. But I feel that wo must al
ways keep beforo our minds that there Is
nothing sacred In tho namo Itself, To
call an organization an organization does
not mako it a good one, Tho worth of
an organization depends upon its being
handled with the courage, tho skill, tho
wisdom, tho spirit of fair dealing, as bo
tweon man nnd man and tho wise self
restraint which I am glad to be able to
say your brotherhood has shown. You
now number close upon 44,000 members.
Dm lug tho two years ending June 30 last,
you paid Into the general and beneficiary
funds close on a million and a half dol
lars. Moro than six and one-half millions
havo been paid In since tho starting of
the Insurance clauso In tho constitution
havo been mado to disabled members and
their beneficiaries, Over 50 nor cent, of
tho amount paid was paid on account of
accidents. Gentlemen, that Is a suffi
cient commentary upon the kind of pro
fession which Is yours. You faco death
and danger In tlmo of peace, as In tlmo
of war tho men wearing Undo Sam's unt
form must faco death. Your work Is
hard, Do you ' suppose i mention that
becauso J pity you? No, not a hit. I do
not pity any man who doos hard work
worth doing I admire him.
I speak to tho Brnthorliood of Locomo
tive Firemen, but what I say applies to
all railway men not only to tho engineers
who havo served apprenticeship ns tiro
men; to tho conductors, who, ns n rule,
havo served an apprenticeship ns brake
men; to tho conductors, who, as a rulo,
Izatlons connected with railway work, i
know you do not grudge my suymg that,
though I am talking to all tho railroad
men of tho country, You, In your organ
ization as railroad iicn, havo taught two
lessons tho- lesson of how much can be
accomplished by organization, but by mu
tual belt help of tho typo that helps an
other In tho only way In which In tho long
rim a full grown man really can iw
helped; that Is by teaching him to help
himself. You teach tho benefits of organ
isation, and you also teach tho Indtspen
slblq need of keeping absolutely unlm
palicd tho faculty of Individual Initiative.
The Brotherhood has developed to this
enormous extent bIiicc the day, now many
years ago, when the first llttlo band camo
together; and It has developed not by
crushing nut Individual Initiative, hut
developing It, by combining many Indi
vidual tnltatves. The Brotherhood of
Firemen docs much for all firemen, but I
firmly bellovo that thu Indlvldunl fire
man has been more, not less, efficient
than ho was twenty years ago.
Much May Be Accomplished.
Much may bo done by the Brotherhood.
I have Just hinted In tho general figures
1 gave you at how much has been dono,
but It still remains true In tho Brother
hood nnd everywhere else throughout
American life,' that as a lust resort noth
ing can supply tho placo of man's own
Individual qualities. Much can be dono
by tho association. A great deal can
bo accompllhed by working each for all,
ami all for each; but wc must not forget
that the first requisite tu accomplishing
that Is that each man should work for
others by worlnk for himself; by devel
oping his own capacity. Is not that com
mon sense? I think so. The steady way
In which a man can rise Is illustrated by
a llttlo thing that happened yesterday. I
camo down here over tho Queen nnd Cre
scent route and tho general manager,
who handled my train and who handled
yours, was Mr. Magulrc. I used to know
him In tho old days when he was on his
way up and he began right at the bottom.
Ho was a fireman at ono time. Ho
worked his wny straight up and now ho
Is general manager and ho put this con
vention hero and he put mo here.
I feel that tho profession of railroading
Is a fine antl-scorbutlc that It does away
with the tendency toward softness. A
man Is not going to be a fireman or an
engineer, or servo well In any other ca
pacity on a railroad long, if, to speak
technically, he has a "streak of yellow"
In htm. You are going to find it out and
he Is going to be painfully conscious of
it very soon.
It Is a lino thing for our peoplo
that wo should have those fine qualities.
In American citizenship wo can stand
permanently only upon the basis of
standing shoulder to shoulder, working In
association, working for all, and yet re
membering that we need each to shape
things that each man enn develop to best
advantage nil the forces and powers at
his command. In your organization you
accomplish much by means of tho Broth
erhood, but you accomplish It because of
tho men who go to make up that Brother-
lioood. It you had exactly the organiza
tion, exactly the laws, exactly tho sys
tem, and yet were yourselves n poor set
of men, the system would not save you.
And, now let mo say a word, speaking
not merely to you. but speaking to all our
citizens. Governor McMillan, Mr. Mayor:
I fall to see how any American can como
to Chattanooga and go over the great
battlefields In the neighborhood and see
evidences of tho mighty deeds dono by
tho men who wore the blue nnd the men
who wore the gray and not go away a
better. American, prouder of tho country;
prouder because of tho valor displayed on
both sides In the contest, the valor, the
self devotion, tho loyalty to tho light as
each sldo saw the right.
PRESIDENT AT KNOXVILLE.
Braves a Rain-storm, So That the
People May Not Be Disappointed.
lly .Exclusive Wire Irom The Associated Press.
Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. S. President
Itoosevelt braved tho elements late this
afternoon, and In defiance of a hard
rain-storm was driven through streets
lined with people to a stand in Main
avenue, nearly a mile from the depot,
where he spoke to 12,000 people, who
stood in quiet while a drenching rain
poured down upon them.
Introduced by Congressman Harry It.
Gibson, of this district, as a man who
combined all tlie sterling traits of
character of Andrew Johnson, Andrew
Jackson nnd James Knox Polk, Presi
dent Roosevelt spoke as follows:
My Fellow Citizens nnd Countrymen:
I shall detain you for but a short time.
I wish to tnunk you for having como out
in this weather. Somebody asked mo
when It was raining so hard whethor I
would como up hero anyway. I told
them I guessed If you could stand It I
could. 1 want to say how much I up-'
predate your having como out to see me,
and I take It that your National Guard
aro not fair weather soldlprs.
It has been an Inspiration to como
through East Tennesseo today as I have.
I am sorry for my sako that tho ruin
should have como at this particular mo
ment, but you needed It and I am glad
you have got 11.
Yesterday 1 spent the tlmo going over
tho great battlefields of Chlcamaugua
and Chattanooga, partly within tho boun
daries of your own stato and partly with
in tho boundaries of my mother's state of
Georgia, Now, I como hero along tho
upper waters of the Tennesseo to see tho
first place to bo settled by peoplo of our
stock. It was six years beforo the out
break of tho Revolutionary war that tho
first llttlo settlement, out of which tho
great stato of Tennesseo was founded,
and It vvus here, in this legion, that tho
mounted rlllemcn gathered, under tho
leadership of Sevier, tho shaft in memory
of whom you see there gathered to go
across tho mountains and strlkq at King's
mountain tho decisive blow which In tho
end freed tho Southern states of the Re
volutionary war. Bight from tho begin
ning, tho Teniiessenns showed themselves
to bo typical Americans In tho way hi
which they proved their ability to con
tend In tlmo of peace,
Tennessee has won her place the typi
cal Tennessean stands as embodying to
much Wo aro glad to call him tho typi
cal American, becauso ho has nover
shrunk from the roughness of life.
At Chlcamaugua, Missionary Ridge, at
Lookout Mountain yesterday, I saw the
scene of tho desporato tight of tho men
who wore tho bluo nnd thoso who woro
tho gray. Now I shall try to talk no
longer I won't melt myself your um
brollas aro in tho way; put them down,
And all I can say is that I am very much
obliged to you for coming nut, and I hopo
you aro one-half as glad to see mo us 1
am to seo you.
By this tlmo the storm had reached
such fury that the president's voice
could not be heard ten feet from the
stand,
The entire party was then driven to
tho residence of Mrs. Brownlow, wlfo
of Tennessee's famous editor, former
governor and United States senator,
Tho president called on the uged lady
and spent several minutes with her.
Then the University of Tennessee was

Pierrot:
"Captain Eckermann, of the Panther,
had received orders to capture the pi
ratical gunboat Creto-a-Plerrot. The
Panther wont, therefore, from Port-au- ,
Prince to Gonalves, where It complete
ly surprised the Crete-a-Plerrot. The
German commandant sent the follow
ing ultimatum:
"Strike your colors within fifteen
minutes and disembark from your ship
without undertaking any defensive
measures whatever, otherwise an Im
mediate attack will follow.'
"The Panther alreudy had cleared for
action. The Crete-a-Plcrrot hauled
down her flag within the allotted time
nnd the' crew disembarked. The Pan

In condition, the Panther's captain
caused the forward magazine to bo
exploded by a cannonade. After this
was exploded the Cretc-a-PIcrrot
