j STRIKE IS NOW OVER.
OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN RESUMED
IN THE LEHIGH REGION.
Inquest on the Lattimer Victims Not Yei
Started—Breaker Burned at Beaver
, Meadow and Incendiarism Charged.
Sheriffand Deputies Under s<>,ooo Bail.
The strike of the miners in this region
iis practically over. Early in the week
the Lehigh and VVHkesbarro Company's
| men returned to work, having accepted
the new scale of wages, which gives all a
: decided advance; C. Pardee & Co. s em
j ployos returned to their labors at Lattl
j tner and Harwood; Coxe Bros. & Co.'s
men at Eekley atrd Buck Mountain went
back to work, and all the smaller opera
tions, such as strippings and washeries,
are going again the same as if nothing
had happened. The Lehigh Valley Com
pany's men at Jeanesville, Yorktown and
Hazleton were pronfiscd increases on
several lines of work and resumed yes
terday.
The greater part of the miners return
ed to work without having their griev
ances settled. and there is a probability
that the dissatisfaction may crop out
again in the near future. Many are dis
posed to believe that the operators will,
to avoid future trouble, take action on
several of the complaints and remedy
some of the abuses to which the em
ployes are subjected by superintendents
and bosses. Such action at this time
would have a beneficial effect in renew
ing good feeling between the operators
and men.
The committee which presented Drif
ton employes' grievances to the company
was met this week by Superintendent j
Smith, who informed them that the i
same wages would be paid hereafter to
Drifton men as are paid at other collier
ies for the same work. If this promise
is fulfilled, it means a largo Increase for
hundreds of workers in Drifton.
John Markle yesterday gave his reply
to the grievances presented by Markle
it Co.'s employes. He informed them
that inside wages will remain the same,
subject to such alterations as called for
by the scale adopted many years ago;
that powder will not be Jed need in price
for the present; that dealing in the com
pany store will hereafter be optional
with the employes, and that the firm
will make a prompt Investigation of the
wages paid to outside hands by other
operators and if Markle's men do not
receive the same the rate will be revised
to conform with that paid elsewhere.
The Inquest was not begun this week,
as had boon intended, on account of the
witnesses and others who will take part
being present at the hearing of the dep
uties in Wilkesbarre, an account of
which is given in another column.
HKAVKR MEADOW BREAKER BUHNER.
Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Tuesday
evening the people of town saw a reflec
tion in the sky which denoted that a
serious fire was in progress on the South
Side. Upon investigation it was learned
that the Evans breaker of Beaver
Meadow was burning. The structure
was totally destroyed, causing a loss
estimated at $50,000 to A. S. VanWlckle
it Co., the proprietors, and a further loss
of several thousand dollars to Kennedy
A Warner, who had the plant leased
and used it as a washery. The breaker
was built ten years ago by the Evans
Company, but was sold a year ago to the
VanWickle firm.
John Bctz, a pumpman, and George
Simmons, the night watchman, discover
ed the fire, which originated at the top
of the building. They endeavored to |
quench the flames with buckets of water j
secured at the boiler house, but the fire '
had too good of a start and soon the j
entire breaker was enveloped in flames, i
People in Coleraino and the surrounding
towns rushed to Beaver Meadow with
their hose, made connections with the
pumps in the mines and began the work
of extinguishing the fire, but the flames
had gained such headway before their
arrival that combat with the fire fiend
was practically useless.
Willie the firemen with their hose
were at work, another gang of men sep-*
orated tho plane from the breaker l)\
using dynamite, to p rev out the entrance
of tho flames into the slope. The
demolition of the plane saved the mines.
The Weatherly lire department arrived
by special train, but came too late for
any effective operation.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it is supposed to be the work of an in
cendiary- A report was circulated that
the strikers had set tho breaker afire,
but this is unsupported by proof and does
the miners employed at the colliery an
injustice. All tho men working there
were satisfied and had taken no part in
the labor troubles except to strike in
sympathy with VanWickle's employes
until the latter were given an increase
in wages.
GOBIN'B PREJUDICED VIEWS.
General Gobin, when informed of the
lire. said: "If they are beginning to
apply the torch, the situation is grave
indeed. They aye doing the very tiling
that will prevent thorn from working or
obtaining the redress they are asking."
Referring to a map of the coal fields,
lie continued: "You see they have
selected the breaker farthest from my

troops. The nearest soldiers to that
point are those of the Twelfth regiment.
To reach there the men will have to
inarch. There are no means of trans-
I portation."
I Asked the effect of the fire upon the
proposed withdrawal of the troops, the
bridgade commander said:
"The troops cannot be moved while
they are burning breakers. There is
the danger of imitation in other sec
tions."
General Gobin also announced that
for some days be had been in receipt of
anonymous letters warning him that the
breakers would be burned. The hand
writing and construction, lie said, in
dicated that they were written by per
sons with some education. He ignored
them because they were anonymous.
HAD NEWS FOR AN IMMIGRANT.
The Philadelphia Times tells as follows
of the sorrowful landing of an immigrant
in that city on Monday:
"A pitiful scene was enacted at the im
migration station, Washington avenue,
after the steamship Adria, from Ham
burg. had reached Pier 44 with sixty
seven passengers. The passengers were
mostly Prussians and Prussian Poles, of
the peasant class. After they had passed
successfully through the ordeal of exami
nation they were transferred to the
waiting room. While the immigrants
wore seated or standing about in groups
one of the women began to cry so loud
ly that she could be heard distinctly all
over the building. In the midst of her
distress and while tears were coursing
down her cheeks three little children
were tugging at her garments and their
lamentations were equally loud.
"The causo of the woman's grief was
explained by the fact that one of the im
migrants had got a Germao newspaper
giving an account of the shooting at
Lattimer. and among the victims was
her brother, Andrew Grekes. Thothreo
little ones were this brother's children,
whose mother had died since the father
had left Poland three years ago."
PROSECUTING THE DEPUTIES.
County Detective Eckert on Monday,
on advice of District Attorney Fell, ap
plied to Judges Lynch and Bennett for
bench warrants for Sheriff Martin and
his deputies, which wore granted. This
move was a surprise to the prosecuting
committee, which had collected a large
amount of evidence and was well sup
plied with funds to use in pushing the
case. The county detective and district
attorney last week agreed to act in con
junction with the committee, and the
breaking of faith with them was severely
criticised. As Fell is a candidate for re
election, and as it is feared tin; prosecu
tion of Martin and his men will hurt the
Republican party at the coming election,
this move of the county detective ap
pears to be part of a scheme to retard j
justice until after the election at least.
Fell can now use his position to keep
hack their trials for an indefinite-period.
GIVEN A COURT HEARING.
The warrants were served and the
accused gang taken to Wilkesbarre Tues
day morning. Company D, of the Ninth
regiment, accompanied them to and
from the county seat, as it was feared
they might be assaulted when the facts
of the shooting came out at the hearing.
Both judges sat on the bench. Several
witnesses were examined, the testimony
thoughout confirming the reports that
the sheriff was in no danger when the
deputies fired, that some deputies had
previously expressed themselves as being
anxious to shoot at the strikers and that
men were picked off deliberately and
killed while running from the scene.
All the witnesses subpocucd were not
present, and the deputies were held
under 84,000 bail each until the hearing
is ended. An officer of the City Trust,
Safe Deposit and Surety Company, of
Philadelphia, furnished bail.
SHERIFF GAVE THE ORDER TO FIRE,
The hearing was resumed yesterday
morning. The most important witnesses
had been unable to appear the previous
day. having no money to pay their fare
to the county seat. They were taken to
Wilkesbarre at the county's expense
yesterday, and the testimony given by
several who wore in the front ranks of !
the body of Harwood marchers was some
what sensational. Half a dozen men,
including the man whom the sheriff
hauled from the crowd to place under
arrest, swore that Martin snapped his
revolver twice at the men, then gave the
order to fire. No amount of cross
examination by John Leuahan, wljo re
presented ilie murderers, could shako
the simple facts of this terrible slaugh
ter, as told by the witnesses. Their
evidence contained the' details of what
the public already knows, viz., that the
shooting was deliberately planned by
Sheriff Martin and that the plans were
faithfully carried out at the first oppor
tunity by the riff-raff baud which carried
the guns.
HEAVY BAIL DEMANDED.

which was given the deputies to prevent
them from being arrested by the miners'
prosecuting committee, District Attor
ney Foil asked that they bo held for

Th© GrratoHt Marvel of tho Age.
That is what the loading scientists
and journalists of tho country have
termed the pictures of the Corbefct-Fitz
simmons glove contest which took place
at Carson City, Nevada, March 17 last.
The veriscopo is without doubt the most
perfect of any of the machines yet pro
duced for tho photography and repro
duction of motion, and its particular
claim to public interest lies in tho fact
that tho pictures taken by tho veriscope
at Carson City are the only authentic
records of the greatest contest of modern
times. Every action in this contest be
tween t he two leading modern gladiators
is shown as clearly to tho spectators of
these pictures as they were to tho wit
nesses of tho original contest at Carson
City. Tho management of tho Grand
opera house has secured the veriscope
pictures and they will be seen here next
Monday ovening.

Miners' Meeting l.ast Evening.
At Van ties'opera bouse last evening a
public meeting of the miners and mine
workers employed in the vicinity of
Frcolund was addressed by John Fahv,
of Pottsvilie, general organizer of the
United Mine Workers of America, and
by Thomas Richards, of Mincrsville, a
member of the organization. No at
tempt was made last night to form a
branch of the order, but a committee,
consisting of two men from each of the
collieries in the surrounding towns, was
chosen to attend a general conference of
representatives of the mine workers of
the Lehigh region, to bo held today at
Hazleton.
Mr. Fully gave an interesting talk on
the benefits of labor organizations. Ills
address was marked with the conserva
tive language used, was devoid of the
clap-trap promises sometimes made by
agitators and was In keeping throughout
with what he claimed tu bo the objects
and aims of the union lie represented.
He fiinishcd abundant proof that labor
organizations have obtained for work
ingmcn whatever beneficial laws now
exist and that a united movement for
the betterment of conditions has always
proven more fruitful titan spasmodic up
risings. Ho advised the miners of this
community to study the advantages of j
unity.
Mr. Richards followed in a similar
strain, tolling how tint Schuylkill region
has organized, profiting by the mistakes j
made by previous unions. lie stated I
they had been sent here by tile miners
of Schuylkill to induce the Lehigh men !
to enter an organization which lias been |
thoroughly tested and not found want- i
ing in the late troubles in the bitumin- |
ous regions. Roth men spoke forcibly
against strikes and countenanced res
pect for law on all occasions.
The selection of the committee men
tioned above was then made.
Democratic Societies Not to Meet.
The executive committee of tho Demo
cratic Societies of Pennsylvania met at
Ilarrisbnrg on Tuesday and decided not \
to hold the state convention at Wilkes- j
barre on September 28, because the dis- j
tnrbed conditions in tho coal fields are
likely to prevent a large attendance. j
There were present at the meeting all
tho prominent members of the Commit
tee and tlie above decision was arrived
at after a thorough discussion. A. 11.
Lad ner. of Philadelphia, and William .1.
Hrennan, of Pittsburg, wore appointed !
a committee to fix the time and place of
holding tho convention.
It is thought the convention will be
