A DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY STORY !
Extra Quarts Placed About the Company
Stores at Lattlmer .for Fear That
They May be Blown Up-The
Prosecutlonof the
Spcclnl to Kvesino HKRAtb.
IIazletok, Sept. 10, 3J30 p. m. Contrary
to expectations, ovorythlug is very quiet
hereto-day. There Is uooxcitomeut of any
kind among the strikers, and things aro fast
assuming their normal fluto. It was expectod
tho ranks of the strikers would be greatly
reinforced, but information received at this
hour from the various collieries shows that
tho rumored striko wai without foundation.
It Is truo a small ripple of excitement ap
peared upon tho surface on tho South Side
this morning when sevonty-flvo women, fol
lowed by n number of men, swooped down on
tho Star and Monarch washorios, oporated by
Individuals, and compollcd the men to quit
work. Tho women chased the men from tho
washorios and then closed the doors. Thoso
washerlcs employ about fifty men. A com
pany of infantry was dispatcbod to tho scone,
but no encounter took place. A company of
cavalry was ordered out, but this order was
subsequently countermanded.
Thoso at tbe hospital are doing as well as
can bo expected. No additional deaths havo
beon rccordod, and tho rocovory of all tho
patients, with tho exception of two who aro
In a precarious condition, is confidently
expected. No change has been made in the
position of tho troops.
It is reported that the operations aro not
anxious to adjust the striko, for tho reason
that there is no demand for cosl. There is
little truth in this rumor. From careful ob
servatlon, and from what can be gleaned
from thoso in a position to know, it can bo
Btated that the companies aro only to glad to
adjust tho diUiculty. Enforced idleness, it is
estimated, means at least $1,000 per mouth
expenditure at each colliery, and no returns.
LATKR.
It was rumored hero late this afternoon
that Sheriff Scott, of Schuylkill county, had
been called to McAdoo. It is reported tlst
trouble is brewing at that place,
DYNAMITE STORY.
Hitrn Ouarda I'Inceil About
Company
Stores Yesterday.
Hazlcton, Pa Sept. 1C A calm per
vades Hazleton and its environs, and no
dlstubanccs havo been reported. The
strikers maintain silence nnd good
order, but tho militia Is not satisfied
that they are not meditating vengeance
for the (shooting of last Friday. An evi
dence pf this was offered yesterday,
when an extra guard was placed ahout
the company stores at Lattlmer, Tho
reason for thlB was a story that tho
foreigners wero plotting to blow up tho
building with dynamite. They have
ceased dealing there, and are now buy
ing their provender In Hazleton. Some
are going so far as to move Into town.
and several cartloads of poor house
hold goods wero traveling townward
over the Lattlmer road yesterday.
Large groups of tho miners are con
stantly hovering about the stores.
For some reason, which could not be
learned, extra vigilance was maintain
ed at the camp of the Ninth regiment,
at Hazle park, yesteray. The guard
was strengthened, and not a soldlerwas
permitted to leave camp. The Fourth
regiment shifted from Audenreld to
Drlfton In the afternoon and estab
lished a camp on the hills. There Is
no indication of trouble there, but
Oeneral Gobln means to keep every lo
cality guarded, and ho sent the regi
ment there because the 500 miners In
collieries Nob. 1 and 2 are likely to
strike today.
Arrangemonts aro under way for a
monster mass meeting here on Satur
day night, and It is understood that ef
forts are being made to bring Eugene
V. Debs and other prominent labor men
here to address It. All the miners in the
middle coal field will be asked to attend,
and It Is estimated that 25,000 miners
will be present.
Another story of the day was that
William J. Bryan had been secured as
counsel for the prosecution of Sheriff
Martin and the deputies. It was scout
ed by the strike leaders as too absurd
to merit consideration.
The arrangements for the prosecu
tion by the Austrian societies who have
taken up the cause have been brought
to a pause by General Gobln's order
forbidding the arrests of the prospec
tive defendants. Several meetings were
held, but it was finally determined to
let the matter rest In abeyance until
after Coroner Bowman has held the
Inquest and reached a verdict. That
official has not yet fixed a date for the
Inquiry, but thinks It will be some time
In tho nearly part of next week. Fifty
or 60 witnesses will be examined, In
cluding Sheriff Martin and a number of
his deputies and some of the miners.
No matter what the verdict may be
the case will be carried Into the courts,
but no details have been arranged.
The strike conditions were not materi
ally changed yesterday, no..e of the
malcontents manifesting any disposi
tion to return to work, and a few more
Joined their ranks. These wero from
the Audonreld wnsherles, about 100 in
number. Bo far as can be learned no
plans are under consideration by the
strikers looking to a resumption.
The 500 men employed at the Beaver
Drook colliery of Dodson & Co. met and
decided to demand an Increase of 10 per
cent In wages and the sale of powder at
V per keg Instead of J2.75, It the com
pany refuses they, too, will Join the
striking army. The Heaver Drook men
wore out a few days ago, but returned
to work on Tuesday.
Indecision Is the feeling at Stockton.
The 1,500 men there had expressed their
Intention of going out yesterday, but
they resolved to give the operators an
other day for the consideration of th.!r
grievances, and If these aro not righted
they will go out today.
Humors and reports of more or less
value continue to agitate brigade head-
quarter ttntf tho various mini -vrnm
was set down as n startling dynamite
plot onme to the usual lnme and Impo
tent conclusion yesterdny. It Hashed
In from Cranberry. A local detective
gave the Information that a quantity
of the explosive had been 0cretel by
tho miners there. Two deputies, armed
with search warrants and gunrded by
n detail of cavalry, went over and
made a thorough search of eluht houses
without discovering anything to con
firm the suspicions.
Sheriff Martin may resume the re
sponsibility of preserving1 order In the
coal regions on Saturdny. If he does
the military wilt retire.
