You men must stay away from the

Tuesday a special meeting of
the Board of Police Commissioners
was held at the City Hall. J. B.
Bong, President of the Corning
Business Men's Association, was
present, as were also Chief Seytor
and Patrolman Bond.
President Bong complained to tho
Commissioners that tho so-called
"labor plcketers" from Brooklyn
were Interfering with tho business of
the Shotton Cut Glass company; tnat
the "plcketers" were causing men I
who needed work to keep away from
tho Shotton shop, and In view of the
fact that the Business Men's Asso
ciation had spent considerable money
to induce the Shotton Company to
establish business In Corning, he felt
that the police authorities should
take measures to protect any Inter
ference with tho new industry.
"Corning needs more jobs for Its idle
workmen," said President Bong,
" and outsiders should not be per
mitted to come hero and stir up
strife."
Commissioner Deuerleln said: " It
is evident to me that these glass cut
ters who have come on from Brook
lyn for the purpose of making trou
hle for the Shotton Cut Glass Com
pany are violating the Penal Code.
They have no right to intimidate
workmen. I have been informed
that some of our local glass cutters,
who are out of work, would take
jobs at the Shotton shop If they
could go and come from their work
without being accosted by these dis
contented workmen from Brooklyn.
Chief of Police Seyter should com
pel these outsiders to keep away
from the Shotton shop and should
not allow them to loiter about the
street In that neighborhood."
Tuesday morinng Chief of Police
Seyter went over to the Shotton An
nex on a tour of inspection. He
found a number of the Brooklyn
"regulators" doing "picket duty"
near the Shotton Annex, and polite
ly Informed these "pickets" that
"picketing" would no longer be al
lowed in Corning.
It is said that on Monday a Police
Commissioner of Corning was accost
ed by a Brooklyn "picket" while
walking on Bridge street near the
Shotton Annex.
"Are you a glass cutter?" the
"picket" asked the Police Commis
sioner. " I have cut glass," was the re
ply. " Well, I would advise you to keep
out of the Shotton shop," said the
"picket." "The Shotton shop is a
' scab ' shop."
Tho Police Commissioner said that
he would consider the matter and
passed on. A little farther up
Bridge street the Police Commis
sioner was accosted by another
"picketer" and In an Instant he was
surrounded by half a dozen of the
labor missionaries, all eager to in
duce him to "stay away from the
Shotton shop." .
Tho Commissioner broke through
tho ring and went his way without
making his Identity known.
Chief of Police Seyter sent word
to tho man at the head of tho dele
gation of "walking delegates" from
Brooklyn, to appear In City Court
with his associates, to explain the
nature of business they are conduct
ing in Corning. It is understood that
the entire Brooklyn delegation will
appear In City Court in answer to
this invitation. The manager of tho

decided to lay a trap for tho sender.
Postal Inspector Sharpsteen of
Honesdale, was assigned the task of
apprehending the sender, and June

cumstances pointed to Mrs. Dolan,
and the Inspector secured about
forty two-cent stamps and marked
them with numbers in such a way
that the figures would not be no

He gave them to tho postofflce

she had bought them all, according
to John Collins, one of the clerks.
Afterward the Inspector went to the

which ho testified he had marked.

(Special to Tho Citizen).
WASHIXGTOX, I). C, Aug. 12.
Congressman Alney has just intro
duced a bill In Congress which is
eminently fair, and will be of .much
Interest to the people of Pennsyl
vania, providing that those who serv
ed lu the Pennsylvania Militia, or
the Provisional Militia during the
Civil war, shall hereafter bo con
sidered and treated as if they were
regularly mustered into the Federal
Army. His bill also provides that
the Secretary of War shall issue cer
tificates of honorable discharge to
thoso thus entitled, and that the pro
visions of the pension laws shall
be applicable to them.
Tho great principle which Alexan
der Hamilton advocated, and which
ultimately became the adopted pol
icy of this country. Is really involv
ed. It was through his efforts that
the money expended and Indebted
ness Incurred by the several colonies
in the War of the Revolution, was
assumed by, and funded into the
national debt.
On equal and similar grounds, as
well as upon the higher one of na
tional gratitude for patriotic effort,
the National Government ought to
place those members of the State
Militia who met the especial need
of our country at the high tide of the
Rebellion upon a footing where their
patriotism and loyalty will be prop
erly recognized.
Mr. Ainey's bill seeks to accom
plish this.

From two men, Samuel Gessner, of
115 Columbia street and Joe Mox, of
29 Hester street, New York, both of
whom arrived In Scranton Friday
morning after walking all the way
from Preston Park, barely able to
stand from fatigue, and the need of
food, was given an account of the
alleged conditions that, If true,
should be investigated by tho officials
of the company and the parties re
sponsible for the same brought to
task. Both men declared they had
fled from the place in utter fear of
their lives and declared that one of
their number who was trying to es
cape the vigilance of one of the
guards was shot down and killed In
cold blood last Monday evening. Not
only that, but they further declared
after tho man had been murdered,
his murderer pumped lead Into his
dead body and threatened to give
others the same dose if they attempt-
' ed to leave the place.
, The man's name, they declared,
i was Max Friedman, of New York.
He was twenty-six years of ago and
I on August 1 was hired by an em
ployment agency In New York and
shipped to Preston Park with oth
ers. He was one of a party who re
belled against the conditions and
threatened to leave. A number had
left, It Is alleged, the night before
and by some one's orders, whether
the contractor or foreman, they al
leged a double guard was placed on
Monday evening to prevent others
from going. One crowd had fled and
it Is alleged was fired upon by the
guard. They arrived In Scranton
early in the week and were taken
care of, and according to President
Schiller, of the United Hebrew Char
lties, told practically the same stor
les concerning the alleged brutal
treatment given them at Preston
P.I rlr. j
They further stated that the body
was shipped from there to Middle
town, N. Y for burial.
The railroad officials deny all
knowledge of any such a crime being
committed and declare that none of
their special officers made any re
port of any such matter.
The Ontario & 'Western station
agent reported that outside of some
little brawl that took place there
on Monday evening he had heard of
no murder being committed nor of
any shooting. At the postofflce in
Preston Park it was reported there
was some trouble, but no one was re
ported killed.
