DIETRICH'S SENTENCE.
Tile Hererlty Surprised All who Ilenril
it
Pronounced.
Special to Kvbniho Herald.
Pottsville, Sept. 10. 2 p. m. roor Direc
tor Nerl Dietrich, convicted of accepting
bribes and of misdemeanor In office, was
called before Judgo Archbald this afternoon
for sentence. William A. Marr, Ksq., of Ash
land, and W. J. Wbltehouso, Esq., of Potts-
vllle, counsel for the accused, made strong
pleas for mercy In behalf of the prisoner be
fore sentence was pronounced.
In addressing the convicted man Judgo
Arehbald administered a lecture, stating that
the jury, In finding Dietrich guilty, had
recommended him to the morcy of the court,
but undor tho circumstances, and the fact
that Dietrich had accepted the bribe, the plea
could uot be entertained. Tho remarks of tho
court wero very severe and tho full penalty of
tho law was Imposed. Tho sentence was that
the prisoner pay f 000 fine and costs of prose
cution and servo 18 months imprisonment In
Jail; and, as ho was found guilty of mlsdo-
meauor in office, that he be removed as Di
rector of the Poor. Dietrich was imme
diately taken out of the court room and
across tho street to tho jail. The severity of
tho sentence was a surpriso to the Common
wealth, as well as to tho prisoner and his
lawyers.
La to this afternoon tho counsel for Nerl
Dietrich announced that they would apply
for a special allocatur. This will have tho
effect of getting Dietrich out of jail until a
hearing can bo had before the Supremo
Court in February, next. There is
a question as to whether, after the
allocatur is issued, It will havo an effect
upon Dietrich's removal from office. That
will bo decided by the court. If an appoint
ment to fill tho vacancy Is made tho County
Commissioners will naino Dietrich's suc
cessor.

that ho had been unable to secure an Import

until the attendanco of Mr. Griffiths

sented a petition to tho court and after aomo

DEFIANCE OF A COUNCILMAN I
Mr. Gable Abused the President and Re
fused to Take His Seat-The Latter
Acts Peremptorily-Progreas
of the ''Movement For
Street' Paving.,
A special meeting of the Ilorough Council
was held last evtnfug and broko up at about
10:30 o'clock in noisy wrangle. Tho
excitement rau high and for sometime after
adjournment it looked as if some of
tho Councilmen would exchange blows.
Happily this kind of a climax did not cap
the affair. The dlsomslons wcro so loud uud
animated that people .gathered ou the streets
in the vicinity of the Council chamber won
dering what all tho noise was about. Tho
affair caused a peremptory adjournment of
Council with considerable unfinished busi
ness ou the Secretary's tablo.
All the mombors except Mr. Englert were
In attendamce. Ifr opening tho meeting
President 8traughirlWed that It had been
called to consldor tWstrcot paving question
and general business.
Mr. Lally entered an objection to any other
busluess than pav(ig.bclng considered unless
tho President woitlditato all tho husluoss to
bo transacted.
President Straughn replied that ho had
made his statement and Mr. Lally's pljec
tlou would bo noted.
Mr. Boob in therjjmado a report in behalf
or tlio roads nnddflghways committee, stat
ing that Council li'ild rushed Into tho street
paving project without giving all details due
consideration and had failed, among other
things, to furnish the committee with speci
fications on Which to call for bids.
Mossrs. Wallace nnd Jones, who aro doing
the street paving at Mahauoy City, wore in
attendance at tliB meeting.
The specifications used at Mahanoy City
and composed of thirty-five sections were
presented and after they wore read by the
secretary it was decided to tako up tho sec
tions seriatim. This consumed much time.
When It was concluded Mr. Mc-
Guire moved that the contractors be
required to employ citizens of the
United States and residents of tho borough
whenover they can get them and. when they
can't, they pay back to the borough tho dif
ference between $1.60 a day aud tho waces
they pay to imported labor, tho intention
being that $1.50 per day shall bo paid to tho
peoplo of Shenandoah employed on tho work.
The motion prevailed after considerable dis
cussion over tho right of Council to exact
such conditions.
It was dccldad that bids be asked for stono
as well as brick paving aud all bids aro to be
snnmutcu on or beforo Bept. 10th. at 7 p. m.
Tho street committee was empowcrd to cm-
ploy Mr. V . G, Gregory to survey the streets
on which tho paving is to be done, so as to
furnisu tlio propor grade for tho work.
Ou motion of Mr. Lally Mr. Grecory was
elected Ilorough Surveyor for tho ensuing
year at a salary of $100, an iucrcaso of $50 on
tue salary for previous years.
It was decided, on motion of Mr. Gable.
that the tlmo for the completion of tho pave
ment be fixed at December 10, 1807.
Tho Chief Burgess was instructed to notify
the peoplo to put gutters in the newly graded
portion of Strawberry alley.
Mr. James, chairman of tho finance com
mittee, presented a statement showing that
tho tax duplicate for 1895 amounted to $30,
520.82 and tho net balance duo on it is $18,-
277.92.
Tho tax rate was fixed at 8 mills for bor
ough and 6 mills for water, the same rato as
last year. Mr. Gable doubted that tho rate
would bo sufficient, but Mr. James said it
would if tho taxes could be collected.
Tho lamp and watch committee was in
structed to procure bids for winter overcoats
for the policemen.
Mr. Shoemaker, of the construction com
mittee, reported that the tower aud roof of
the borough building had been repaired.
On water works Mr. Gablo reported that
unless the water supply is increased soon the
hours for turning it off would have to be in
creased. After some discussion as to tho
best means for Increasing the supply it was
decided, on motion of Mr. McGuire, that the
water committee ascertain tho cost of two
additional streams in tho Catawissa valley
and also the cost of building an additional
reservoir at Brandouville,
At this point the President directed the
Secretary to read communications, but Mr.
Lally arose and said he had heard Mr. James
state that tho contract for the street lights
was satisfactory, but he wanted to know if
it was not necessary that Council should not
tako soma steps to ratify it. President
Straughn said it was not necessary, as Coun
cil had directed the lamp and watch com
mittee to make tho contract, but If Mr. Lally
wished to mako a motion of ratification it
would bo entertained.
Mr. Gablo arose and said something about
not liking the proceedings at the last meet
ing. Ho said the street light proposal was
held back until some of tho members of
Council had retired beforo it was presented
and acted upon Ho also said that even the
report of the lamp and watch committee was
stayed until that time, and out of its regular
order of business. Mr, James and others
said such was not the case. Messrs. Gable
and Lally said it was.
President Straughn attempted to end the
discussion by stating that a report from the
lamp and watch committee was culled for
from the lamp aud watch committee In Its
regular order. Here is where the pot boiled
over. Mr. Gable arose and said, "Aud I say
you lie!" President Straughn curtly an
swered the Councilman in similar style when
Mr. Gable fired back, "And you're a
liar I" President Straughn wheeled his chair
around so that ho directly faced Mr. Gablo
and said with determination, "You aro no
gentleman. Mr. Gable, take your seat." In
stead of complying with the order Mr. Gable
rested himself against his desk aud retorted,
"I'll take my seat when I am good
and ready," President Straughn at once
raised his gavel aud announeed, "This Coun
ell is adjourned," at the same time bringing
his gavel down with a resounding wbaok
As the Councilmen arose from their seats
Mr. Lally jumped up and asked "By what
authority, Mr. Chairman"
"By the authority of the chair."
"Until when are we adjourned t"
"Until some of the Councilmen can be
have themselves."
Thus tho meeting was brought to an abrupt
termination, but beforo the members left the
room there was a hot discussion between
Messrs. Gablo, Lally -and James in which
they became so noisy that atteution from
outsldo was attracted and Policeman Good
man deemod It necessary to stop in betwoen
thorn several times, fearing that a fracas
might ensue.
THE STRIKERS QUIET.
ltut tlio Disappointment Occasioned by
Superintendent I.awnll Felt Keenly.
SpCClM to KVENINO IlRBALU.
Hazlbton. Sept. 10. The failure of Super
intendent Lawall to meet the employes of
tho Lehigh & Wilkesbarro yesterday morn
ing according to agreement was a bitter dis
appointment to the men and many wero tho
words of condemnation. The action is not
regarded as wise, and is not only condemned
by the men, who aro willing to treat with the
company, bnt by tho business men generally
all over the region.
Up to ono o'clock this afternoon ovory thing
was quiet in tho region. All the collieries on
tho South Side are idlo. The strike is slug
gishly extending.
Tho Silver Brook foreigners held a largely
attended meeting last night, but what trans
pired would not be divulged. It is oxpocted
however, that they will remain firm in
their demands for recognition. Vice Presi
dent Thomas Bighter, of the Silver Brook
Coal Co., visited tho Silver Brook colliery
yesterday, but It Is not likely that his visit
is of more than ordinary significance,
Sheriff Sotzer withdrew his deputies from
the Audenried district yesterday, inasmuch
as peace prevails. Tho Lehigh & Wllkei
barro boiler houses wore given a fair supply
of buckwheat coat yesterday, which will
enable them to keep tho pumps in operation
a few days longer, even though the difficulty
is not adjusted. The employes aro growing
uneasy, as their regular pay day has passed,
and thoro Is but little indication of their
monoy forthcoming for auothor week.
There was no meeting last evening at Mc
Adoo, but judging from tho flavor of tho
foreigners expressions, they are seriously
disappointed over the failure of the promised
sottlement of yosterday, which is hound to
havo a bad effect upon thnm, as they say
they have been disappointed too often. It
sooms almost certain that another exciting
march will tako place to-day and something
extraordinary may be expected.
Thoro was nothing unusual occurred in
this city yesterday in connection with the
strike, although when it became known that
Supt. Lawall had disappointed the South
Sido strikers, it was feared another attempt
would be made to march to this city. At
Cranberry and Crystal Ridge a few of the
strikers congregated in tho woodl at an early
hour, aud when au attempt was made to re
sumo work tho men wero driven from tho
workings aud tho colliery shut down for tho
day. Robert Uillhouso, a boss, was taken
for one of tho workmen, aud bombaided
with stones by the strikers, sustainiug sovoro
injuries.
Tho strikers at Beaver Meadow aro well
organized and threaten the visitation of
violence on thoso who cross their wlshos.
They are very much embittered against the
deputies, and it is feared that both parties
will engage in mortal combat. Sheriff Sotzer
had thirty-five deputies guarding tho Cross
Creek Coal Company's colliery last night,
aud they wero tough-looking individuals.
MORE TROUBLE.

was reported quiet among tho strikers until

from Harwood to tho stoppings of Kiel Bros.
and had a skirmish there which resulted in
tho shooting of ono mau in tho neck. The
victim was brought to West Hazleton and the
strikers then marched on to tho Lattlmer
mines. A car load of deputies havo just left
this place to head them off.

Settlement of the Strike Delayed
Talking Delegates.
by
PRESIDENT RATCHFORD HOPEFUL.
He Believes That the Miners Will Ratify
the Compromise Effected by the Rep
resentatives of the Strikers
In the Pittsburg
District.
Columbus, O., Sept. 10. The miners'
convention remained In executive ses
sion until late yesterday afternoon, ad
journing; until today without having
taken a vote on the proposed settle
ment. President Hatch ford said to a
reporter last night: "You may pre
dict with every degree of eortalnty
that a settlement will be reached, and
that the action of the national board
in recommending a settlement will be
endorsed. Tho delegates are begin
ning to see that the best thing they
can do is to accept the proposition ot
the operators and return to work at
the price offered. While the convention
should have finished Its business to
day. It was Impossible to do so. Nearly
every delegate desired to say something
regarding conditions in his own local
ity, and the convention had to permit
them to have their say. When they
have finished the convontlon can get
to work."
The arguments that have been pre
sented by the officials and members
of the executive board In favor of a
settlement have had great weight with
the delegates who have come to the
convention unlnstructed, and even
some of those who came with in
structions have gone so far as to com
municate with their constituents ask
ing to be relieved of Instructions, that
they may be free to vote as they deem
best. Should this drift of sentiment con
tinue until a vote is taken the propo
sition for a settlement will undoubtedly
be accepted.
The question as to whether a set
tlement on the lines proposed can be
made general appears to be the stumb
ling block at this time. If the delegates
from Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia
and portions of Ohio were assured that
the settlement would be beneficial to
them as well as the miners of the Pitts
burg district they would not hesitate
to vote for a settlement. The Illinois
miners hoik not changed their posi
tion, and positively decline to accept
the terms of settlement proposed by
the national board. The olllcials have
partially met the argument of the Illi
nois miners by saying that If the Illi
nois delegates will agree to a settle
ment, so that the miners of other states
can resume work, the Illinois operators
will be forced to pay the price by their
competitors In other states. Should
Illinois agree to this arrangement In
diana and West Virginia will fall In
line without hesitation.
The committee on resolutions Is about
equally divided on the question of a
settlement and will probably present
two reports to the convention. There
were some fiery speeches in the execu
tlve session of the convention by dele
gates from Ohio, Illinois and West Vir
ginia. Secretary T. L. Lewis, ot thu
Ohio miners, said that no matter what
action the convention took, it would
not settle the strike, and Organizer
Hay, who has been at work in West
Virginia, charged that the conditions In
that state were largely duo to It being
overrun by non-union miners from
Ohio and the Pittsburg- district. He
said If these two dlatrtots had been or
ganized properly there would have been
no trouble In bringing the West Vir
ginia miners Into line.
A prpposltion to admit additional
delegates from Pennsylvania caused
a stormy discussion. The Illinois dele
gates objected on the ground that If
one state was allowed the privilege
It should be accorded to all. The mat
ter was of material importance, as to
admit new delegates might change the
vote, and the opposition was so strong
that the motion to admit the additional
Pennsylvania delegates was voted
down.
An effort will be made by the officers
to bring the convention to a close to
day provided the prospects of a fa
vorable vote on the proposition for a
settlement are ripe.

ture of time and bait, with the
gaining of a good mess, sort
of makes you thiuk you had
dout something great. You
can make a good catch at our
sale of
GROCERIES.
We have the stock and the
bait is but a small figure.
