TRAFFIC ENTIRELY SUSPENDED I

Strikers Themselves Took no Part
In the Disorderly Demonstration.
PlIILAliKU'ltIA, Doc. 18. It hns been
many years slnco tills community wit
nessed the sights It illd yesterday nloiiR
Chestnut ami Highlit streets. Tho former,
from Klghth to Broad, and tho latter,
from Arch to Chestnut streets, wero jimo-
ucnlly at tho
mercy of a mob
that brought ter
ror to the hearts
of tho big retail
nicrchnutsaml tiio
largo orowd of
holiday shoppers.
It was about 2
o'clock in tho
afternoon when
tho traction of
ficials attempted
to oporato tho
Chestnut stroot
lino, Tho cars
reached oast of
joiin l. welsh.
Broad, and botweon that point nndKighth
stroot about twelve cars wero massed when
a crowd of small boys began taunting tho
inotormen and conductors. Then stones
wero thrown and in an Instant nlmost tho
twolvo cars woro made tho subject of a
general attack, and forced pedestrians and
Bhoppcrs to tako refugo In tho stores. Tho
attack was kept up for so long that somo
morchants wero compollod to lowor their
Iron window shades for protection.
Meanwhile a detail of policemen bad
been summoned, and nftor hard work suc
ceeded in dispersing tho mob, making
many arrests. During tho disturbance
Reserve Policeman Kopplcr was very se
riously Injured through being beaten and
stoned. Tho trouble was without ques
tion tho fault of small boys, urged and as
sisted by a gang of hoodlums.
Along Eighth Btreotpractlcally tho samo
condition of affairs prevailed. Tho cars on
both thoroughfares wero badly damnged
and ovory pane of glass was broken. Tho
men on tho Chestnut street cars wero com
pelled to abandon them.
Tho police wero absolutely unablo to
control tho mob. From early morning uu
tll dusk, as each branch lino mado despcr
ato efforts to start, howling mobs sur
rounded each car, stoned and hooted tho
motorman aud conductor, smashed tho
windows, cut tho trolloy ropos and wreaked
all possible destruction. Tho strikers took
llttlo, if any part in tho work of destruc
tion. This was in the bauds of tho Inev
itable rowdy element. Many porsons wero
injured by Hying missiles, nudtlicroisfear
that whou comploto reports have been re
ceived they will inoludo fatalities, aud
thousands of dollars' wortli of valuablo
property was destroyed.
Tho fiercest riot of tho day occurred at
Sixth aud Vino streets, about noon. Tho
mob reached almost to Market street. It
entrenched itself along tho sidewalks and
bombarded ovory car which attempted to
ruu tho gauntlet. Superintendent Lin
den, with a groat forco of police, finally
succocded in dispersing tho crowds, after
sixteen arrests had been mado. At Sixth
and Market u veritable pandemonium
broko loose as tho ilrst two cars readied
that point. I an instant ovory glass was
smashed, and a fusilado of dinuor kottles,
flro buckets and blocks of wood poured
from the upper floors of business houses
on either hand. Motormon and conductors
fled for their lives.
Later in tho day nnotlicr violent sceno
wus witnessed at Kightli nud Market. A
West Philadelphia our mado Its appear
ance. Motorman, conductor and tho few
passengers wero ordered tolcavo, and after
tho fender had bjon ripped from its at
tachments, and the samo general work of
destruction perpetrated, tho car was upset
at tho lutoivoctlo-t of tho two lines of
track. Tills blockade was not ruUurt for
two hours. Similar scones occurred in
tho northeastern section, ami all through
tho city loss dostruotlvo attempt wore
made to prevent tho ruuuiugof tho oars.
Three proclamations woro issued by
Mayor Warwick yesterday afternoon.
First, ho appealed to all good citizens tu
assist tho authorities in maintaining or
der, aud to that end to refrain from gath
ering In crowds ou the streets. Secondly,
ho ordered tho summary closing of all
liquor saloons, and thirdly, lie asked all
women and children to stay at home.
Flvo hundred extra policemen woro
sworn In by Mayor Warwick last night.
They havo orders from tho mayor to carry
their batons unsheathed. Should this fall
tho govoruor will be appealed to to order
out tho militia. Tho city's executive de
clared In unmistakublo terms that the
BtrlUo Is no longer a contort butweon a
railway company und lis employes, but a
battlo between tho city and violence, and
the city will win, If It takes tho United
States army.
Ovor a hundred arrests wore made dur
ing tho day, ami nearly all the prisoners
wero bold for a hearing. Oiu young man,
not a striker, was held In il.OJJ ball for
cutting tho ropo on a mail car. Tho United
States commissioner will glvo him an ad
ditional hearing.
President Mahon, of tho National Asso
ciation of Street Hallway Employes, mado
a statement to tho public in reference to
tho dfsturbancos. Ho donlod that tho
strlkors woro in nny way to blame. Hu
said tho disorder aud destruction to prop
erty was tho work of others not connected
with thorn. Tho cominlttoo decided also
to again caution tho mon against vlolouco.
The company, he said, was alono respon
sible for tho troublo by not listening to
tholror the citizens' committee. It is stated
that tho traction ooiupany purposes hold
ing tho city responsible for tho damage to
tholr oars.
U'ho war itself remains unchanged. Tho
traction loaders refuse to listen to auy
Suggestion trom the other side, and, in
deed, no effort is being mado in that direc
tion. Tho strikers aro Arm and deter
mined to light it to tho blttor ond. Thoy
havo almost universal sympathy not only
from conservative citizens, who, whllo de
precating violence, declare that tho strik
ers havo right on their side but from la
bor unions throughout tho country.
John Lowbor Welsh, president of the
Uiilon Traction company, was In and out
tho olllces from early morning until luto'
nt night. At 10 o'clock last night ho bus
tled in to tell tho mayor that tho mob sur
rounding the car stables at Eighth and
Dauphin streets threatened violence. Extra
police were at once ssut to tho sceno.

BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Tin, Male Hoard of Charities' lteecnt Visit
to the Almshouse.
SllAMOKix, Dei. 18 Cieorgo W. Hyon, of
Slmniokin, a member of tho Stato Board of
Charities, in company with tho other mem
bers, recently paid an ollicial visit to tho
Schuylkill county almshouse and their
opinion of tho Institution as at present con
ducted is anything but complimentary to
those in authority.
The buildings wero found to bo in as good
condition as circumstances would permit, but
tho management of the institution, says Mr.
liyon, is particularly bad. During the in
vestigation tho members of tho State Hoard
discovered that one of tho Poor Directors has
eight relatives employed around tho alms
house. Twenty-two children and several
grown persons, not subjects of charity, aro
being supported at tho poor house. These
aro tho wives aud relatives of tho keepers.
A teahistcr who receives $-10 salary per mouth
lives In a house, along with his wife and
sovcrul children, ou tho poor farm, it is
stilted, without paying rent, and with
vegetables, butter, milk and so forth,
free. Tho butcher employed by tho institu
tion ekes out ids existence in a similar
maunor.
In a littlo story and-a-lialf framo building,
carccly big enough to give shelter to more
ban seven porsons at tho most, are kept
fifteen paupers. This is said to have been
declared a crying shame by both members of
tho State Hoard, and if it ii requested, there
will in all probability be a general investiga
tion of tho institution.

Terrible Accident at the Mid Valley
Colliery This Mornln.
BUT THREE DANGEROUSLY INJURED
A Lever Pin Dropping Out Caused an '
Engineer to Lose Control of a Train
of Coal Cars-Ho Stuck to His
Post and May Die.
Special to Kvknino lli:i:.i.t.
Mt.Cahmki., Dec. IS. A frightful acci
dent occurred at tho Mid Valley colliery tills
morning by which fourteen men wero in
jured, but it is not believed that more than
three of them woro hurt dangerously.
Tho accident was duo to an engineer losing
control of a train of coal cars on a heavy
grade, and it is considered littlo short of a
miracle that most of the victims wore not
killed outright.
There aro two slopes at ' tho Mid Valley
colliery. Slope No. 1 is located at tho breaker
and Xo. 2 is about a milo east of tho colliery.
Tho coal is hauled on tho surface from Xo. 2
slope to tho colliery by a small locomotive
and early in tho morning this locomotive
hauls a train of cars from the colliery to tho
slope for tho accommodation of tho miners
at tho latter place. It Is considered fortunato
that to-day a number of men missed rho
train, as had tho cars been filled as usual tho
result of tho accident might have been ap
palling The engine started from tho colliery at the
usual time with a long string of empty coal
cars and a number of minors as passengers in
some of them. Tho road from the colliery
to slope Xo. 2 has a very heavy grado. James
Hollister was the engineer in charge. When
about three-quarters of a milo from tho col
liery the train got stuck. After several in
effectual attempts to make headway Hollister
concluded to run back to get a start. He re
versed mo engine ami m uoing so caused the ,
pin in tho reverse lover to fall out and be- j
come lot. Tho train got a start on the
grade and Hollister was unable to make any
use of the reverse lever. He tried to apply 1
brakes, but his ellbrts in this direction were j
of no avail, a the rails were made slipper' I
by the early morning dew and tho wheels!
slipped over them as though they had been
greased. Tho wheels seemed to gain speed
with each revolution and tho train dashed I
down tho grade at terrific speed. Hollister!
lemained at his post and operated the whistle j
of the engine continuously us the runaway
train approached the colliery, the only al
ternative being left him.
During tho thrilling descent the engine
was in tho lead, it being tho custom to push
the cars up the grade from the colliery to
the slope. When a short distance from tho
breaker the eugino jumped tho track aud
the cars piled ou top of it. A scene of great
excitement ensued about the culliery and the
shrieks and groans of tho unfortunate men
who had been passengers ou the cars were
heart rending.
Hollistor, the engineer, was the first res
cued. Although a young man of 23 years lie
stoudat Ids post like a veteran and was
found mangled and scalded a fow feet from
his engine. He is the worst injured and may
die. Ho is IhkII' scalded about tho body,
face and legs, his rigid arm is broken, and lie
is injured internally. llollUter Is a single
man and resides at Mid Valley.
Juhn Leibig and Kdwaid Alloburh aro the
two othor men who are considered danger
ously injured. Leibig was employed as a
woodchopper. He was under the engine,
but succeeded in crawling out, notwithstand
ing lie sustained a iwnpcitiiid fracturo of both
legs and was badly burned and scalded.
AllelKich was a miner and has a wife and
child. His right thigh was fractured and lie
sustained Mivoml had cuts and hruisotj about
tho head and i.ody. He was buried by the
debris and was the last man taken out.
John Helor hud his knees injured, one
badly cut and the other contusted. George
i Sink-hen laid ids left hand injured and was
I bruited about the head. Joe liobenduski
was injured about the Imck, head aud legs.
Stine Yetsolll sustained a fracture of tho
right knee aud cuts about tho head. William
Kolis had Ids head cut and left hand injured.
Ueorge Pitti, a miner residing at Wilbuitou,
sustained a fracturo of one of ids logs, aud
William Millor, of Mt. Carnicl, was injured
about the legs and head.
Two Poles, residing at Mt. Carinel, names
unknown, wero badly cut and the leg of
one was fractured. Two other Poles, names
and residences not known, escaped witli
slight iujuiies,
The accident created Intense excitement
throughout tills district, and people Hocked
to the scone from this town, lireoti Itidgo
anil neighboring places and thore was general
rejoicing when it wus learned that the wreck
had nut been accompanied by the conse
quences ilrst reported. Most of the victims
liave been sent to the Minors' lionpital. Tho
'reports this afternoon state that tho chances
