Situation Since the MuKHUcre.
The strike situation is becoming more
complicated every day. The entire
South Side, except Colerainc, where the
demands of the men were granted, is
still out. Those mines are now idle:

ganizing, a committee of ton men was
chosen to present at 0.30 a. m. today to
Superintendent Smith a scale of wages
which they want paid. If a favorable
reply is not made by Saturday a general
strike will be declared on. Also, if any
member of the committee is discharged

STRIKES ON THE NOKTII HIDE.
On Monday Coxe Bros, employes at
Buck Mountain inarched to Eckley and
induced the men there to <|tiit work.
Both places are now idle. Increases of
from 10 to 35 per cent are asked. On
Tuesday tin- collieries were paid, and all
the leaders, as well as several who took
no active part in causing operations to
be, suspended, were discharged by Super
intendent Kudlick and ordered to Im
mediately vacate the company's dwel
lings.
On Tuesday tho Eckloy men marched
to Highland No. 2 to call out the em
ployes of Marklo & Co. They were met
by John Marklo, who promised that any
grievances of his men would be promptly
remedied, aud this was accepted, the
Eckley men dispersing with no attempt
to insist upon an immediate settlement.
At Upper Lehigh the same day the
slate pickers went out for an advance.
This was promised them. Immediately
after No. 5 drivers stopped work. An in
crease was also granted them and they
returned to their mules. Drivers are to
get $1.06 and patchors 90 ceuts per
day.
On Monday evening Jeddo employes
to the number of 300 met at Japan
school house, formulated their griev
ances and sent the same to Marklo & Co.
They decided to work until Saturday
and if a favorable reply Is not received
by that time they will cease work. They
ask for an increase of wages and the
price of powder and mine supplies to be
reduced.
MILITIA HAS NOTHING TO DO.
The 3,000 troops in the region have
absolutely nothing to do. There has
been no disturbance of any nature, and
the soldiers are already tiring of camp
life and arc anxious to go home. The
first appearance of the militia on the.
North Side was on Tuesday, when the
City Troop, of Philadelphia, and the
Governor's Troop, of Ilarrisburg, rode
from Ilazleton to Eckley and return,
passing through Drifton and Jeddo.
Yesterday amid a lot of bluster and
warlike preparations the Fourth regi
ment, 500 strong, arrived in Drifton over
the 1). S. & S. and pitched their tents in
Drifton ball park.
Several of the soldiers have been ar
rested for drunkenness in the several
camps. Their uniforms were promptly
taken off them and they were sent home
in disgrace.
On Tuesday Major General Snowdnn,
state ccfmmandorof the National Guard,
accompanied by Adjutant General Stew
art and other officers and were taken
through the region over the I). S. & S.
No arrangements whatever have yet
been made in regard to sending the
troops away. General Gobin says:
"The. troops will not leave for some
time. It will bo a week or ten days bo
fore any go, and then a detachment will
be kept for any emergency case which
may arise."
SAYS IIESS GAVE TIIE ORDER.
Gradually the mystery which surround
ed the starting of the firing by the depu
ties is clearing away. Tho testimony of
disinterested witnesses is corning out
and helps to placo the responsibility on
the proper parties. Andrew F. Adams,
an agent for baking powder, on Monday
was in Wilkesbarre and gave tho Jjcathr
the following version, which is corrobor-
FREELAND, PA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1897.
ated by others who were there:
4, 1 took the Milnesville car to go back
to Ilazleton. This took me to Lattimer.
At the junction the deputies got on our
car and also crowded another special
car. Ross seemed to bo loading the men.
He showed them how to use the arms
and explained the mechanism of the
guns while the car was waiting. When
we got started the talk was all about
shooting, and each man seemed to be
eager, especially Hess.
"When we got to the point where the
strikers were seen we were about twelve
feet higher and they were in a clearing.
It was hero 1 expected trouble, as some
one said: 'Let's fire into them now.'
The car passed on until we got to Latti
mer, where the deputies got oIT. Sheriff
Martin was not within fifteen feet of his
men at any time after lie left the car.
"It was evident from the position of
the deputies that they intended to lire
and the motorman of our car halted for
protection. The strikers came along,
with the American Hag Hying from a
rough hnwn staff, and halted about fifty
feet from the armed deputies, who had
their guns in their hands. Martin talk
ed about thirty seconds and then stepped
back.
"The firing was like the effect pro
duced by setting off a bunch of lire
crackers. I less commanded the firing
and gave orders until it ceased. He is
the man who seemed to be in authority.
The terror-stricken men passed our car
and many dropped right near it. It
was an awful sight to see and 1 don't
want to witness it again."
"Yes," he continued, "Hess was the
man wiio first said fire."
I' UILIC SENTIMENT.
The people of the region have experi
enced no change of feeling regarding
the massacre. It is still looked upon as
a cold-blooded murder and the first ex
pressions of sentiment are not likely to
be retracted. A concerted and vigorous
attempt is being made since the early
part of the week by the emissaries of
the coal corporations to smooth over the
excitement and to iuduco the public to
view the killing of the men as something
of no special importance, since all wore
foreigners. Another ruse,emanating from
the same source, and adroitly worked, is
to inject a religious and nationality issue
into the matter at this time, with the in
tention of arraying the various elements
of the* region against one another and
thereby break the unanimity that now
exists among all workingmcn.
Both of those schemes are being push
ed wherever it is thought they can be
used to advantage. To the credit of the
community it can bo said that so far the
plans to whitewash the murder and to
stir up religious feeling on the subject
have boon ignominious failures, and in
several instances the agents who are
going about dropping the poison have
been rebuked with scant courtesy. The
contemptible system of espionage which
is in vogue in this region prevents those
who are under obligations to tiie coal
corporations for their living from freely
expressing themselves. The spies, since
the trouble began, are sneaking about
from group to group, picking up what
they can and duly reporting the same to
headquarters.
BURYING THE DEAD.
Monday was a day of funerals. Four
of the victims had been buried the pre
vious day and it was thought the crowds
were large, but Monday's outpouring
from every town and hamlet for miles
around made tho streets of Ilazleton
almost impassable. Twelve were buried
that morning and the corpses were fol
lowed to the different churches by thou
auds of people. Three were buried from
St. Peter's Greek Catholic church and
nine from St. Stanislaus' Polish church.
On Tuesday another was buriod from
McAdoo Polish church. All the Poles
wore burled in one plot and a monument
is to be erected over them to toll of the
massacre.
At the request of General Oobin, the
saloons of tho city were ordered closed
by Mayor Altmillcr. No disturbance,
took place, however, and there were no
demonstrations made by the friends of
the murdered, oilier than peacefully fol
lowing tho martyrs to their last resting
places.
DEPUTIES CANNOT BE ARRESTED.
By orders of General Gobin the
deputies who committed murder at
Lattimer on Friday arc secure from ar
rest until the militia loaves. IBs has
prevented tho warrants from being
served by the constables, basing his
action on some decision of Judge Pax
son. Many of the deputies have placed
themselves inside the military lines for
protection, others have patrols of sol
diers guarding them in their homes and
tho remainder of the gang has decamp
ed. Gobln's action.is severely denounc
ed, btr* in order to save the community
from a conflict with tfio militia the civil
authorities are biding their time.
The feeling against the deputies has
not abated any yet and tho determin
ation to prosecute them grows stronger
every day. The local men who went out
as deputies, but had no hand in the
Lattimer affair, are also feeling the dis
grace they have brought upon them
selves. Respectable people shun them
at every turn and even the small boys
boot them on the streets.

A I.lulit to lie Moved.
The members of the borough council
held an adjourned mooting on Tuesday
evening. Messrs. Mulhearn, Miller,
Zomany and Monhau wore present. The
object of the meeting ,was to take up
for third reading the ordinance grant
ing to the Anthracite Telephone Com
pany the right of way through the
borough. The ordinance was read for
the third time and passed, all the mem
bers present voting for it. The socro
tary was authorized to present it to the
burgess for his approval. It was decided
to start another manhole at Main and
Washington streets. The president stat
ed that lie had visited the site of the
proposed manhole, at Ridge and Walnut
streets, and he thought that council
could dispense witli it by turning Xh<*
water on Walnut street further west iu
another direction. If necessary they
could purchase a lot and open a streot
to run north and south from Walnut,
and thus dispense with the water from
the Hill coming down to Ridge street.
After discussing the matter for some
time, it was decided that tin; members of
the street committteo would view the
proposed sitc; for tlx; street and report at
the next regular meeting.
A number of persons were present
claming exonerations from dog tax, but
no action was taken until the assessor
can be seen by the committee appointed
by council at Its last meeting.
It was decided to have the arc light at
the east end of Main street, near tlx;
Public Park, removed to Ridge and Lu
zerne streets by October 1. and the secre
tary was instructed to notify tlx; Light
Company of the decision of council.
Deafness Cannot bo Cured
by local applmotions, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, ami un
less tho iiillamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
lluined condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) j
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Semi for circulars, free.
