CORONER'S JURY DIVIDED ON THE
LATTIMER SHOOTING.
Very Direct Testimony Given at tiie In
queKt, Still tlie Verdict It* Not Forth

Preparing to Organize This Kegioii.
Tho coroner's jury to inquire Into the
killing of the strikers at Lattimcr met
in Deputy Coroner Bowman's ollice Sat
urday night, and after being in session
nearly three hours adjourned without
rendering a verdict. Some of the jury
men favored censuring the sheriff and
deputies, while others opposed a verdict
of this kind. After considerable wrang
ing and no possible sign of arriving at
any conclusion they adjourned. An
effort will be made to have them convene
again tonight.
TAKING THE TESTIMONY.
The testimony taken at the inquest,
which was held in Ilazle Ilall on Thurs
day and Friday afternoons, did not
differ materially from that given at the
hearing of the deputies in Wilkesbarre
earlier in the week. The evidence was
substantially the same from all witness
es, and an idea of its character can be
formed from the following testimony,
part of which is given by a spectator
and part by a striker.
Thomas Charles—Lives In Ilazleton;

mor and went over to see what happen

then a volley; after the volley was fired
he heard a scattering shot or two; could
not say whether deputies fired this last
shot or not; did not seo strikers shoot
any of the deputies; a few soconds
elapsed between the shots; some men
ran after tho lirst shot was fired; saw a
DEPUTY KICKING A STRIKER
after shooting but could not say who he
Martin Stefani—Residence Ilarwood:
works for C. Pardee & Co.; was one of
the strikers; went on his own free will;
had no pistol; no other strikers had any;
was agreed by strikers not to take any;

sheriff did not read riot act; had heard
that the sheriff and deputies were stop
ping strikers; could not tell how long it
took for strikers to go to Lattimer; wit
ness was right In front; sheriff grabbed a
young fellow and pulled hi in away;
sheriff pulled his revolver; witness then
got back; one man shouted fire; witness
ran up to school house; when lie looked
around he saw men fall and heard bul
lets whizzing past his ears; did not hear
sheriff say "stop'' to any of tfie strikers,
was shot in the arm, but kept on run
ning; was shot after ho was at the
school house; sumo of his companions
dropped.
TRAMPED TO NEW YORK.
New York, September 23. —One of the
most dilapidated specimens of humanit)
that ever unloaded itself from Pennsyl
vania onto New York arrived in this
cosmopolitan town this week from Latti
mer, Luzerne county, where Sherill
Martin's deputies killed a score or more
of unarmed and unbanning miners on
the loth Inst. This man says his name
is Michael Osterwitz, and that ho Is an
Austrian. His clothes hung in rags,
and tho soles of his feet were covored
with blisters, all of which boro convinc
ing evidence that the man had had a
long walk. When he said he was a
miner ho gave nobody a chance to doubt
him long by showing a pair of cracked
and callous hands which had lost their
original appearance in one of Pardee's
slate picking places of torture.
Michael lias been shivering in the
sharp night air—it was 2 a. m. when he i
struck the newspaper row of the metrop
olis—and seemed afraid of his own
shadow in tho big electric light near by,
when some one suggested to him that
perhaps it was time to liavo something
to eat.
"Bread! Bread!" he cried, and he
looked up to his tormentors as a starved
dog looks up to food that is held away
from him. At 2 a. m. crowd in New
York is not always one likely to sympa
thize with a hungry man; but in this
crowd there was a man who said he had
the price of one meal and if someone
wo.'ild put up as much they could try
and "stuff the bum."
Cheat Scott! how tho man did eat.
He lirst showed hfs entertainers how to
swallow a cup of coffeo in a gulp, and
Sifter satisfying his hunger told h!i
story in broken sentences, which drew
all the occup ints of the place about him.
Osterwft# had boon a slate picker in a
coal breaker. His followcoijntrymon
there, he said, hated the Italians who
worked with them because they put up
with sucli small wages, and tho former,
wljo no n ore, could hardly exist. He
described a striker's assault on an Ital
ian, and also rehearsed the shooting

scone, first prowling as if one of the
mob, then giving tho command to fire,
and describing the fall of the killed and
wounded.
Osterwitz had started for Bridgeport,
Conn., where his brother lives, walking
many miles before ho got on a freight
train at. Munch Chunk. A fireman had
given him a bit of his dinner on tho
train. The man has a wife and children
in Austria, whom he desires to bring to
this country when lie can afford it. A
collection was taken up for him, and
after spending the rest of the night on a
bench in City Hall Park he started for
Bridgeport at daybreak.
PROSECUTING COMMITTEE'S APPEAL.
The National Prosecuting Committee
lias issued an appeal from whieh the
following pertinent paragraphs are
taken:
"Wo send you this appeal, represent
ing as we do tlie wounded and the
friends and relatives of those now dead.
Tliiscommitt.ee is formed for the purpose
of procuring counsel, obtaining evidence
and all other matters tending to the
prosecuting of tlie sheriff and his dep
uties to tlie fullest extent of tlie law?
We assume that you are friends of labor
and that this battlo is yours as well as
ours. If these men go unpunished for
tho killing of our fellows, who knows
what will befall us next?
"Let it not be said that you lacked
patriotism or proper sympathy by stand
ing idly by and not offering some assist
ances toward tho purpose of this com
mittee.
"A number have been made widows
and orphans, and should you wish to
contribute for the help of those, you will
so designate. All funds are to bo sent
to John Nemeth, Treasurer National
Prosecution and Charity Committee for
tho Lattlinor Victims. Hazleton, Pa.
"And now wo conclude, trusting that
you will give this your immediate atten
tion. We fool that you have explicit
faith in tlie honesty of tho committee.
We assure you that what you may con
tribute will be distributed in an impar
tial, business-like manner, so that when
we rotiro from this committee we hope
to do so with credit to ourselves and the
esteem of the entire community.
"Committee—Rev. Ricn Aust, presi
dent: John Nemeth, treasurer; J'. F.
Loughran, secretary; Rev. John Stas, j
Salvador di Sandola, Nicholas Ballok, I
Matthew Long, John Kuntz, Rev. Carl j
Houscr, Edmund Lombiek, Rev. Joseph |
Formannick, Frank Koslowski, George ;
Kozakewich."
REGION TO BE ORGANIZED.
Tho work of thoroughly organizing
the anthracite miners is under consid
eration by all tlie big labor unions. At
i session of the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor on Thurs
day at Washington, D. C., very strong
resolutions regarding tlie shooting at
Lattimer were adopted. Tho council,
tlie resolutions state, "will give its full
est help through tho trade unions and
the American Federation of Labor, to
raise moneys for tlie legal prosecution
and conviction of Sheriff Martin and his
murderous minions, that through the
courts of our land even-handed justice
may be done to atone for those revolting
murders."
Frank J. Weber, one of Federation
general organizers, was directed to pro
ceed immediately to the Luzerne district,
for tlie purpose of helping in more thor
oughly organizing tlie miners.
Mr. Weber arrived at Hazleton Friday
evening and will spend some time in the
region.
STRIKING IN LACKAWANNA.
Four hundred minors and laborers,
employod at tho Simpson & Walk ins j
collieries, above Scranton, went out on
a strike Friday morning, and in conse
quence the Last Chance, Eyebrow and
Edgerton mines are idle. On Monday
last tho men at tlie Last Chance went
out, but after a conference with General
Superintendent Crawford, in which ho
promised them that their grievances
would be considered, they returned to
work Tuosday, and everything went
well till Thursday night, when a meet
ing of tlie miners was held and it was
decided to stop work next morning, and
'to stay till their claims wero granted.
Tlie ollicials at Scranton were notified,
and they told tlie men to either go to
work or removo their tools from tho
mine. They did tho latter.
One hundred slate pickers, employed
at tho Coal Brook breaker, Carbondalo,
struck tho same day. Tho principal
grievance is that when working three
quarter timo no noon hour is allowed
them.
TROOPS ARE DEPARTING.
Tho troops liavo begun to depart for
their homes. The first of tho 3,000
soldiers who were on duty in this
section loft on Friday afternoon. Bat
tery C received orders that morning to
break camp, and tho command was
obeyed with no delays. By night the
artillery men were at their homes in
Phoenixvlllti.
On Saturday tho Twelfth regiment
returned to Williamsport and tho
Thirteenth to Scranton. The Fourth
will likely leave Driftou tomorrow.

Tlicre is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by con.-iitutionul remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inllained 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, and un
less the inilam ition can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will he destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by !
ratarrah, which is nothing hut an in
tlamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

any case of deafness (caused hy catarrh)
