WHOLESALE ARRESTS EXPECTED I
The Strikers Declare They Will Continue
Their Marching and Camping Until
tho Jails aro Overcrowded. Will
Not Resist Arrest.
PlttBburg, Aur. 13. Sweeping and
far reaching injunctions now figure in
the coal miners' strike In the Pitts
burg district The developments of
yesterday tend to make the situation
a strange one, mid It appears that tho
crisis Is novFat hand.
The striker have demonstrated that
their assemblages, marches and mis
sionary work Imve materially nffected
the output of the New York and Cleve
land Gas Coal company, while at the
same time public sympathy has been
enlisted In their cause. The sheriffs
proclamation, Issued two weeks ago,
restraining the men from assembling
and marching has been a dead letter,
and the marflhes have been continued
daily. No disturbances of any kind has
occurred, the officials of the miners
contriving through the whole time to
keep tholr men within peaceful bounds.
The preliminary Injunction Issued
yesterday by Judges Collier and Stowo
now brings the matter to the county
courts for settlement. The case will bo
heard on Monday morning, and the de
cision is looked forward to with much
Interest, The miners and their officials
claim that they are keeping within the
law, und have the right to assemble
In peace and demonstrate to the world
that they are being wronged by a rate
of wages that keep them constantly at
the point of starvation; also that they
have a right to use their presence and
influence among men who are militat
ing against their interests by contin
uing at work.
The New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company, on tho other hand, as
sert that the marches and assemblages
aro unlawful and a menance to their
mployes, many of whom, they say,
are willing to work provided the strik
ers remain away. Looking at the mat
ter from this standpoint, the company
made its radical move yesterday In the
courts to bring about a condition under
which the company can operate its
mines.
The defendants named in the n-
jupctlpn are the United Mine Workers
of America, l'aincK uoian, presiqenij
Inward McKay, vice president; viin
lam Warnpr, secretary and treasurer,
and others. The plaintiff company sets
forth that it is a corporation under tuo
laws of Pennsylvania with a capital of
$1,000,000 Invested in coal lands of Penn
sylvania. Three of their mines, em
ploying 1,200 men, are at rium Creek,
Turtle Creek and Sandy Creek. The
bill then recites tho conditions pre
vailing at their mines since the strike
began, and alleges that the strikers
have paid no attention to the sheriff's
proclamation, and that the lives of
minors and the property of the com
pany are In danger.
The Injunction granted by Judge
ColHer restrains disorder and enjoins
the defendants from assembling, march
Ing pr encamping In proximity to the
mines and houses of the miners for the
purpose, by Intimidation, menaces,
threats and opproblouB words, of pre
venting the miners of the plaintiff from
working. It further restrains the de
fendants from Inducing or compelling
any employe or miner to quit woik.
The Injunction is regarded as the most
sweeping issued.
Presldpnt Dolap expressed surprise
when Informed that H had been grant'
ed, and added!
'It will make no difference to us. Wo
will not break camp, and will go right
along as usual until tho matter is
tested in the courts. We will stay thero
regardless of every Judge.ln Allegheny
county, and If they try to enforce the
Injunction they will have to build mors
Jails to accommodate the men.
When the news of tho Injunction
granted by the county courts, practl
cally breaking up the Camp, reached
Turtle Creek tho wildest exoltement
ensued, The strikers were emphatla
in their protests against the notion, A
conference of the camp leaders was at
once called for and plans were dls
cussed for some means of holding the
ground gained against the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company s
men,
Last evening the strikers at Plum
Creek held a meeting and voted unanl
mously to hold the fort, hut not to re
sist arrest. The resolutions say that It
one man is arrested they will have to
arrest all.
If the strikers continue their marches,
as they pow say they will, )n defiance
of the Injunction, capias will be issued
for the offenders on tne charge of
contempt of court. Should the lnjunc
tlon be enforced the strikers' camps
around the DeArmltt mines will soon
be extinct. The strikers, though ex
cited over the turn of events, are In
no wise disheartened.
Developments at Canonsburg are be
ing watched closely. The avowed tn
tentlon of the strikers to march de
spite Judge Mcllvulne's Injunction is
expected to result tn bloodshed or the
tilling of the county prisons with the
arrested miners.
It Is said that when the deputies start
to enforce the Injunction they will be
compelled to arrest every man for con
tempt, and that as fast as the men are
placed In jail others will be brought
into camp to take their places, and
thus the deputies will be kept busy
making arrests intll the Jails are over
erowded.
The strikers claim that this move
ment of, the company Is only another
plan for getting the militia on the
ground. When they find that the min
ers will not obey the injunction, and
the Jails become crowded, It is ex
peoted that the sheriff will adjudge that
his deputies are not sufficient to eope
with the situation, and he will be con
strained to call out the mllltla. This
Is the view of the situation taken by
toe leaders of the strikers now In the
:amp.
NO EFFECT HERE.
Tho Mnhanoy Division or the O. & I. l'ollco
Force Intact.
Contrary to the supposition entertained by
many, the meetings that aro being held at
Hazletou with a view to a reorganlsitlon of
the Coal it Iron police force have no barlng
on tbo C. ti I. police force In the Mahanoy
district. In connection with tho newspaper
reports of the meetings it ba been stated that
there will vory likely be an increase in the
force This has caused sotno men in this
district to entertain hopes that they may bo
selected for the increase, but they are only
wastlug their thoughts.
The district in which tho reorganization is
being discussed is on independent one in
which the police force is maintained by the
individual operators and Lehigh Valley
Companies in the Lure me region and the
force Is undor tho control of a distinct bead.
As a matter ot fact tho C. & I. force In
Schuylkill is entirely under the jurisdiction
of tho Vr& 11. C. & I. Co., with Capt. Chris
tian, of Pottsvillo, In command, but by
pro rata arrangement tho Lehigh Valloy
railroad and coal companies liavo two
men detailed for Its sorvicc. Tbo Lehigh
Valley oompauy also lias a special squad of
threo men of its own and It is understood
that tho Kazloton re-organisation was pre
cipitated by an Intimation that the company
proposed to pull out of tho Luzerne division
and depoud upon its special and Mahanoy
division force. It now appears, however,
that tho re-organization will bo effected upon
a basis by which tho Lehigh Valley company
will in all probability combine its special
forco with tho Luzerne district and namo tho
hoad of tbo forco.

HEIRS TO $45,000,000.
Seliuylklll Conntalns Find Thnt the
Webber Kstate Kxlsts.
Schuylkill Haven, August 13, Tbo
heirs of John Christian Webber met bore
yosterday and mado out papers to prove
the claim of American citizens to nn estate
of $15,000,000 iu Holland, a thorough investi
gation in Holland having established tho fact
that such an estate exists, aud that such
claims may be mado good. The documents
were drawn up under instructions from the
Holland government.
More than a century ago John Christian
Webber was a wealthy morchant of Antwerp.
Angered because his only son had married
against his wishes, he declared that the latter
should never share his wealth. When he
died it was found he had willed his entire
estate to the Holland Government, with the
proviso that tho money should bo returned
with interest to his heirs of tbo third genera
tion when they becamo of age. Tho Govern
ment accepted tho trust.
Wohber's children emigrated to Amoricii,
and sovcral years ago put in a claim for their
inheritance. This spnug A. H. Webber, ono
of tho principal heirs, called a meeting at
Schuylkill Haven and asked permission to
push tho claim at bis own oxpeuso. This lie
was authorized to do, and early in Juno last
he Rolled for Holland. Ho has just returned,
fortified with his proofs, aud yostorday's meet
ing was held at his call. "Wo expect to have
thomonoyin tho United Stitos by the first
of December next," said Mr. Webber yoster
day. "Our own Government will act as tho
disirlbuting agency."
There wero present at tho mooting heirs
from Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio aud
Iowa. Tho principal holrs are: David B.
Staller, of Cressona, Pa. ; Henry Stornor, of
Pottsvillo, Pa. j Frederick Wagnor, of Fried
onsburg. Pa., and Mrs. Daniol Fosslor and
A. W. Sterner, of Mount Carmel, Pa.
A Strong Candidate.
S. Hoi! Bcddall, Esq., of Port Carbon, was
tho first in tho field for tho Itopublican
nomination for Sheriff, aud has been making
a thorough and, wo judge, effective canvass
of tho county for dclogatos. He possesses
experience in tho ofUco, besidos many otbor
qualities which peculiarly fit him for an in
tclligcnt aud faithful discharge of tho
onerous duties of tho placo in tho event of
his nomination, which would be equivalent
to an election. Ho is a gentleman of uuini
pcachablo intcrgrity, stoady habits and r
