Savidge, with all tho principals, witnesses
and counsel in attendance, forming an army
time taxed ttio capacity of tho court room.
Tho witnesses for tho Commonwealth alone
number at least eighty-five.
District Attorney Bechtel called up the
libel case of tho Commonwealth acalnat J.
Joromo O'Neill. District Attorney Bechtel,
8. H. and D. II. Kaerchor. Em., and Tnlili F
wnaien, issq., appeared in behalf of tho Com

cases and all of them except the District At

of Shenaudoahj Qcorgo J. Wadlinger, Esq.,
01 i-oiisvnio, ana w. A. JUarr, Esq., of Ash
land, represent tho School District.
Immediately after tho caso was called up
air. nnaion protested aga list tlio libel rasn
being called first and asked that tho niisde
mcauor ciiso against tho School Directors
charged bo first taken up. Ono of tho
grounds staled for this was that tbo misde
meanor would bring out all tho facts in tho
thrco cases and save timo and oxpenso. He
also stated that an Important witness for Mr.
O'Neill, Miss B. Ii. Burko. was ill. Miss
llurko is a school teacher and sister of Lawyer
iurKo.
District Attorney Bechtol opposed tho an
plication on tho ground that ho was calling
up 1110 urst case that came to his hands.
Messrs. Whalen and Kaerchtsr pressed the
application and Messrs. Bechtel, Wadlinger
ami juarr opposed It.
Tho court finally ordered tho jury to bo
impanelled.
Mr. Whalen then asked tho caso to bo post
poned on tho ground of Miss Burko's Illness.
Mr. Burko said tho Commonwealth would
admit what was Intended to bo proved by tho
witness.
Tho court said proof of inability of the
witness to appear must first bo made
Mr, Whalen called Mr. O'Neill, tho defen
dant, to the stand to mako nroof. Ha sworn
the witness was subpoenaed, but unable to
attend court on account of illness, and that
nbo was a very material witness in his behalf.
Ho last saw tho witness on Tucsdiy, last.
A certificate of iljppss datod J3th Inst, was
produced, hut tho court said t was not sufli
cient. 1'. J. Coylo, of Lost Crook, brother-in-law
of tho witness, sworo sho was ill last night,
but not confined to bod.
Court stated that as tho illness was chojora
morbus, tho chauccs were in favor of tho
witnoss getting to court this afternoon, or to
morrow morning, and ordered tho case on.
Clerk of tho Courts Shoener proceed to call
tho jury.
Mr. Whalen entered a protost, In boialf of
the defendant, O'Neill, against tho calling of
tho jury. Ho stated that prosecution is
pending against tho School Directors of
West Mahanoy township, a true bill has bcon
found and tho caso is ready for trial; that tho
libel caso Is brought for tho publication of
matters involved in tho caso against tho
School Directors for misdemeanor in olilco
and tjie lattor caso should bo triod first. Tho
misdemeanor case, ho said, was of public in
tprnst, involving tho hpuesty of public offi
cials, while the libel caso is of secondary im
portanco. Tho court directed tho protost to bo noted
and that tho caso proceed.
MI10 following jury was theu Impanelled
after much tlmo was consumed in examina
tion as to qualifications :
Jamos Comfort, miner, Mino Hill Gap; H.
B. Kintzell, laborer. Port Cllutonj V. S.
Uooning, shoomaker, Laudlngvlllc; Daniel
Ludwig, farmer, Piuegrove; Johu Greasing,

vllle; John Green, miner, Middloport; Alex
andor JJuchauau, minor, Heckscherville;
George A.Stlno, farmer, Brunswick; William
Cowley, gnntjpman, Mahanoy City.
M. M. Burko, j&wj., opened t)0 caso for the
Commonwealth, stating that tho publication
In tho Minora' Journal was promoted bv tho
dofendant, O'Neill, as a correspondent. That
O'Neill's sister foiled to get a school In West
Mahanoy Township and from that timo
O'Neill had been gunning for tho School
Board of tho township, especially P. J. Fer
guson. 80 hitler was his feeling that ho re
fused to smoko tho Jlonry Clay clear bo-
canso Mr. Fergusou told cigars bearing a
label or that brand. Mr. Burko said tho
article published was a malicious libel and
O'Neill knew It to bo so.
Jacob Foster, Minora' Journal reporter, was
called as tho first witness for the Common
wealth, to prove the publication of tho
article. Ho failed to answor. A constable
was sent to get him.
P. J. Ferguson, of Lost Creek, was called
to the stand and identified the published
article, but upon objection by Mr. Whalen
the court decided that Mr. Foster's ovidenco
was tho best in that lino and court would
have to wait until the constable arrived with
the witness. Upon this ruling Mr. Fergu
son was taken from the stand. Just before
tho noon adjournment the constable appeared
and stated that Mr. Foster was in bed but
would appear in court shortly. Judge Savidg
thereupon adjourned court until 1:30 o'clock.
Court resumed at 1:30 o'clock with Jacob
Foster, tho Minors' Journal reporter, on tho
stand. Ho idoutifiod tho article published iu
tho Journal on Juno nth, and said J.
Jerome O'Neill called up the Journal by
'phone and asked for" Mr. 0. H. Anderson,
He was informed ho was not there. Tbe
witness asked O'Neill if there was anything
now in that section, and O'Neill gave the
facts upon which thoartlclo published was
based. Foster dictated tho articlo to Mr.
Anderson.
O'Neill's counsel raised tho point on tho
evidence given by Foster that there was no
proof to show that tho articlo was furnished
by O'Neill for publication, or that he secured
tho publication, or that ho had any control or
interest In tho Journal to make it possiblo for
him to secure publication of ths same.
P. J. Ferguson was then called. He said
he has held tho position of School Director in
West Mahanoy township for fifteen years.
Denied that the old members of the School
Board have withheld orders drawn for
teachers in attendance at Institute for the
past flvo years, and nlso denied that School
Directors had diverted to their own use
sums amounting to $1,000 under bond of new
school buildings, that amount baviug been
found In excess of contract. Ho further de
nied that work had beou given to tho highest
blddors. and no bids for repairs had been
asked Ho denied that tho books show that
doublo tho amount for bids had
been drawn through orders. Tho wit
noes know Thomas Crane, was n member
of tho Board. Wltnosn was a member when

ORGANIZING STRIKING MINERS
Women Take a Hand in the Strike and
Drive Out a Number of Men Who Were
at Work Tho Troops Can
Find No Disorder.
Hnzloton, Pa., Sept. 17. The Ameri
can Federation of Labor, with a mem
bership of half n million, has taken up
the cause of the mine workers in thla
region. Their organizers are already
at work here, and when this has been
completed a uniform scale will be form
ulated and presented to the operators.
There will be no marching nor any-
tning in tne way of a demonstration,
and no attempt will bo made to bring
about sympathetic strike movements.
At the mass meeting fixed for to
morrow night, at Old Park, Peter J.
Magulro, vice president of the Fed
eration, and secretary general of tho
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, of Philadelphia, will make an
address. Ueorge Chance, also of tho
Quaker City, a leader of the United
Labor League, will also spoak. If con
ditions warrant it Samuel Oompors,
president of the Federation, and Frank

Hazleton later. Tho organization's
monoy will be used In the movement,
and 1500 of the fund sent bv the car
penters to the general fund at Colum
bus, O., is ready on demand and will
be contributed If found necessary.
Concerning the story that Eutrene V.
Debs will speak at the Saturday night
meeting the strike leaders say that if
no comes it will not bo at their sollcita
tion. No invitation has been extended
to him and they do not believe ho will
op nore,
una worlc of organization Is belncr
uuiic uy mo sending or emissaries by
twos and threes to mines, and every
effort Is being made to avoid the ap
pearance of a demonstration. Organ
Izor John Fahey. 0f the United Mine
Workers, has charge of the work, onrt
he will shortly be assisted by new men
irom in ranks of the Federation.
Fahey yesterday made answer to thq
expressions of Calvin Pardee, tho coal
operator, -who Insinuated that Fahey
was working for his own Interests In
stead of those of the strikers, and de
clared that were it not for "agitators"
tne men would be at work. To this
Fahey asserts that he was Bent for by
tne miners, and has been congratulated
by the press for his work thus far. Ho
floptes the changes made RPd challenges.
Mr, Pardee to furnish nroof of their
authenticity. He concludes by demand
Ing an apology.
xne peace prevailing during tho past
few days was broken yesterday bv a
conflict between strlk'lng and working
miners, wntcn for a timo threatened
to be serious. A body of about 150 men
and boys, led by a Bcoro or more of
women, made a raid on the Carson.
Star and Monarch collieries at Honey
iiruuK, near Auaenrled. The women.
as well as their followers, were armed
with clubs and stones, and before the
S00 workers could be Induced to come
out tne missiles were used. Some of the
women stationed themselves on the top
ui u. uuim oanK ana neiteri th wnrW.
ingmen with stones. Ono Hungarian,
was clubbed over the heail nnri hn,iiu
injured, but no further harm was in.
muteu. a large force of strikers was
Biaitonea behind an adjacent culm
bank ready to reinforce the body of
raiders If necessary, but at this stage
of the attack the employes quit In a
uuuy ana joined tne strikers' ranks.
Tho encounter was tho direct result
of an attempt to start up the Lehigh
and "Wilkesbarre collieries. Despite tho
determination to remain out until Su
perintendent Lawall was heard from
regarding the 10 per cent advance de
manded a number of Hungarians and
Italians reported for work yesterday
morning. As soon as this news reached
Bunker Hill and Honey Brook the iit
tack was made, each, colliery being.
Visited (n turn. The superintendent
palled for assistance of Sheriff Scott,
of Schuylkill oounty, in which county
Honey Brook lies, and that oinclal
made a demand on General Gobln for
6. body of soldiers. A battalion of the
Eighth regiment, under Colonel Magee,
hurriedly marched from their Auden
rled camp to the scene of the trouble,
but, as usual, It was over and the men
scattered when the soldiers reached
there. Colonel Magee received a report
of the oecurrence and made a demon
stration with the Idea ot Bubdulng the
turbulent Inclinations of the foreigners.
The march proceeded through Honey
Hroolt, Bunker Hill and MoAdoo, Here
the troops were halted, while the old
cers made a short reoonnolter toward
Silver Brook. Nothing of a suaplolous
character was seen, however, and the
troops wore marched back to camp,
hot. weary and dust Btalned after a
seven mile tramp.
The soldiers had not been out of sight
ten minutes before a crowd of strikers
pounced upon a squad of Hungarians
who were screening coal near the Star
washery. and forced them to nult work.

while most of the weary warriors were
Biumoenng on their couches of earth.
The guard line was thrown Into a fer
ment by the appearance of a blood
stained Hungarian rushing pell mell
towards them with four men In close
pursuit. As soon as the lattw saw the
white tents of the camp looming up In
the darkness they fled and vanished
Into the night. The Injured Hun, whose
name is John TImko, ran towards the
rentrles, crying at the top of his voice
"Mo no striker." He fell exhausted at
their feet, and was borne within tho
line. After the sudden alarm had sub.
siaed lie was carried to the camn lion
pltal, where It was found he had been
seriously cut about the head and face
and beaten and kicked. The assault, he
said, was the outcome of an argument,
In which he championed the cause of
Gormer Jones, one of the Lehigh and
Wllkesbarra superintendents. .
