ISTRIKERS SENT TO JAIL.
TROUBLE BREAKS OUT SUDDENLY
AT A PITTSTON MINE.
Men Are Battling for an Increase of
Wages and Want Every Employe to
Stop Work Until the Advance I* Con
ceded by the Company.
An attempt to resume work at the
; Heidelberg colliery, near Pittston. on
I Friday morning, provoked an attack
I upon the returning miners by the strik
! ers, and a big riot ensued. Superinten
dent Owens, Henry Wilson, Frank How
ard, Thomas McGowan and John Jones
were badly hurt, and a number of others
wore more or less injured. The colliery,
which is operated hy the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company, has been idle for nearly
two weeks, the men having gone 011
strike for higher wages. The company
refused to grant the increase a few days
ago. and made an unsuccessful attempt
to resume work. Several miners were
ready to go back, but they were afraid.
The foreigners persisted on remaining
on strike.
Superintendent Owens set about mak
! iug another attempt to resume and got
about sixty of the English-speaking men
to promise they would go back to work
when he wanted them. Friday was set
for the resumption, and word was quiet
ly sent around the night previous for
the men to assemble at 0 o'clock next
morning at Owens' house. It was
thought tbat meeting at this early hour
would avoid any possible interference,
but the strikers had heard of the plan,
and they were out iu force, over a hun
dred, and
MOST OF THEM WKHE ARMED
with pickhandlos and stones.
As Owens and his men approached the
colliery these strikers intercepted them.
Superintendent Owens warned them
that if they interfered they would all be
arrested and punished, but the threat
did not effect them.
As those who intended return
ing to work at the old wages at- i
tempted to advance they were met by
the strikers. In a short while blows
were exchanged by members of the two
gangs, and these wore followed by vol
leys of stones. For a couple of minutes
there was a general fusilade. Finding
themselves assaulted in this manner,
the strikers charged nt the bosses and
scabs and by vigorously using their
pickhandles on tho legs of their assail
ants they quickly dispersed the crowd
and drove all thoughts of work out of
their heads.
Superintendent Owens was struck on
the head hy a stone and is suffering
from a scalp wound, besides bearing a
number of bruises on his shoulders and
body, the marks left by pickhandles.
Henry Wilson, Frank Howard. Thomas
McGowan and John Jones were report
ed as being badly
CUT AND BRUISED BY STONES
and clubs, and hardly one in the body of
sixty men escaped uninjured.
Fearing a further outbreak. Super
intendent Owens resolved to make
no further attempt to resume, but toda\
lie expects to start the colliery if lie lias
to have all the strikers arrested to do so.
During the riot Superintendent Owens
recognized several of the strikers, and
as soon as his wounds were dressed he
wont before Justice of the Peace Ehret
and swore out, warrants for their arrest,
and they wore at once taken Into
custody.
Ignatz Polan, Anthony Gedwish, An
thony Shinko, Simon Bonnatisand John
Hose, five of iho rioters, were given a
hearing before Squire Ehret. Attorney
Frank Wheaton represented the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company, and several wit
nesses testified to the trouble.
Shinko, who, it is alleged, was one of
the leaders, was held in $1,500 bail and
the others iu SI,OOO hall each for their
appearance at court. The men were;
sent to jail in default of bail.
There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great iuanv years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and l>y constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney <k Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken in

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1897.
Troop* Will Cost About $12.~,000.
An apparently fair estimate places
the expenditures of the state in sending
troops to this region at $125,000. Adjut
ant General Stewart was asked whether
the cost would reach SIOO,OOO, and lie
answered in the affirmative without
going into details. Governor Hastings
last week drew his warrant on the state
treasurer for $75,000 to pay the several
organizations in service in Luzerne
county. Before that there had been
drawn from the treasury SIO,OOO on
account of the cost of the millitary
called out by the governor. Transporta
tion, subsistence "and quartermaster
stores remain to be paid. They will
probably involve the disbursement of at
least $40,000 additional. None of the
standing appropriation of $350,000 is
appliable to the liquidation of debts con
tracted during active military services,
and this unnecessary plunge into the
treasury must bo borne by the taxpayers.
The National Guard law of 18S7 fixes
the pay of first sergeants at $3 a day.
sergeants, $2; corporals, $1.75; musicians
and privates, $1.50, "and each enlisted
man after having served a full term of
enlistment shall be entitled to an addi
tional pay of 25 cents per day for ser
vice during his second term and a
further addition of 25 cents per day for
service during each subsequent term of
enlistment." Commissioned officers are
paid at the same rate per day as the
United States army officers, ranging
from $5 to sls. according to rank.
State Firemen'* I'arada.
The Pennsylvania State Firemen's
convention will be held in Wilkesbarro
this week, beginning on Monday.
The convention is expected to be the
largest ever held In the history of
the organization. The big day is on
Thursday, parade day, when it is expect
ed that 20,000 visitors will be drawn to
Wilkesbarro. It is assured that 125 j
companies will participate in the parade
and this means at least seventy bands of
music. The interest of this day will be
the parade itself. The winners of the
prizes will be announced from the
judgo's stand.
The prizes are as follows: Largest
uniformed company in line, $75; finest,
uniformed company in lino, $00; finest
looking steamer in line, SSO; finest look
ing hose carriage in lino, SSO; finest
looking hose wagon in line. SSO: finest
looking hook and ladder truck In line,
SSO.
The Darktown Brigade, of Williams
port, has been secured as an amusing
feature of the parade.
The tournament will take placo on
Friday and this will attract the crack
companies of the state, as SBOO are to be ;
given away in prizes. The day includes !
a hose race, free for all, first prize, $300:
second prize, $100; third prize, SSO.
Prize drill, first prize, $100; second prize,
SSO. Hook and ladder race, first prize,
$75; second prize, $35.
Candidate*' Name* on ltoth Ballot*.
The decision of Judge McPherson, of
the Dauphin county court, last week, re
garding the manner of procedure in
cases where a candidate for political
ofiice Is nominated by more than one
party, was received with much satisfac
tion in Schuylkill county, as, according
to this ruling, the name of Judge O. P.
Bechtel must be printed in both the. Re
publican and Democratic columns of the
official ballot.
Judge Mcpherson's decision was upon
the application for a writ of mandamus
upon the secretary of the common
wealth, commanding him to certify the
nominations of the Democratic judicial
candidates of Philadelphia who had
been previously nominated by the He
publicans, and was, in effect, that the
amendment to. the ninth section of the
ballot law by the last legislature, "that
the name of any candidate shall not
appear more than onco by certificate of
nomination, or more than once by nomi
nation papers," was contrary to the
spirit of the constitution and that there
was no doubt of the invalidity of the
amendment. He directed the manda
mus to issue, and the names of all can
didates nominated by both parties will
appear under both headings on official
ballots.

SOHOOL BOARD TROUBLES.
Directors Wax Wrotliy Over the Names
ou the Marble Tablet.
Tho borough school board met Satur
day evening for the purpose of electing
a teacher for the South Heberton school.
Director Schaub was chosen president
pro tem, in the abence of President Mc-
Carthy. Secretary Sweeney stated that
IK; fill tilled tho wish of the board in re
gard to seeing County Superintendent
Harrison in reference to the certificate
of Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Harrison was
of tho opinion that if he examined the
teacher again ho would bo inclined to
give him a professional certificate, as
the mere technical knowledge is not all
the qualification necessary in order to
bo a successful teacher.
He also sent a telegram and a letter
to the president of tho board. but that
official being absent the contents were
not given. By motion tho action of tho
board a week previous, when Mr. Zim
merman received a majority of the votes
cast, was ratified, and bo took charge
tiiis morning.
A bill of 921.50, from Mrs. Jacobs and
others for cleaning, was ordered paid.
A letter from Principal Hanlon, toll
ing of the crowded condition of the
schools, was read. He was given power
to combine the sixth and seventh grades, i
thereby relieving the primary schools.
Tho number of pupils attending tin; i
different schools in the borough at the
present time time are as follows: Daniel 1
Coxe Memorial School, 411; E. B. Coxe, !
School, IH7; Birvanton, 00; South Heber-!
ton, 00; a total of 748 pupils enrolled. j
The principal also had a list of sup- !
piles needed and the secretary was in- !
structed to seo that they are furnished.
Director Ferry, at this point, opened a '
question which tho public lias been dis- 1
cussing for some time by inquiring who j
furnished the architect with the inscrip
tion placed on the marble slab which
adorns the wall of the passage way on
the first floor of the Daniel Coxe School.
Mr. Sweeney answered by saying that
lie furnished it, but was ordered to do so
by the board.
Mr. Ferry then asked were the officers
named on the tablet the officers of the
board when Mr. Bute was a member? !
Mr. Sweeney replied by stating that the
slab was intended to convey the impres- i
sion that the officers of the present year j
were the officers of tho board when the J
building was erected, and that thei
name of ex-Director Bute was placed!
thereon by the consent of Director |
Schaub. The latter stated that he :
thought the members of the previous \
board deserve whatever honor tho erec- j
tion of the new building would give J
them. lie expected the names of the '
old board, as it was then composed, !
would appear on the tablet. Director 1
Johnson also had no recollection of tho i
board ordering any change in favor of j
tho present officers and refused to agree i
to tho secretary's version.
As this added nioro mystery to the !
affair, a heated discussion between the j
secretary and the inquiring director fol- !
lowed, continuing until adjournment.
The end of this question, it is said,
lias not yet been heard. For those who
are not conversant with the matter the
following facts may help them to under
stand tho trouble: When orders were
given to erect the building the board j
was composed of D. J. McCarthy, prosi- ;
dent; .las. F. Sweeney, secretary: James
B. Ferry, treasurer; B. F. Bute, Peter
Tlmony and William Johnson. The
marble tablet contains all tho above
names, with the alteration that Direc
tor Timony is credited with being treas
urer, a position ho did not hold until i
after Mr. Bute's term had expired and
Mr. Schaub became a member. The
slab contains this year's officers and j
last year's members, an incongruous i
combination to say the least, and one i
which lias caused much comment.
Various reasons are ascribed for the |
action, but, apart from those, the trend
of public opinion seems to be that the I
error should be rectified by placing on \
tho slab either last year's board and its !
officers or this year's board and officers, j
not so much on account of the director I
who was slighted by his fellow-members. !
but in order to have tho tablet correct. |
An Attempt to Itnb.
Owen J. Boyle was attacked on South i
Ridge street on Saturday evening by !
three umbrella-menders who struck
town that day. The vagabonds saw ]
Mr. Boyle receiving S3O from William
Gallagher, for painting, and laid in wait j
until he reached tho opera house build- !
ing. There they endeavored to rob l|iui |
of tho money, but ljn suceeedod in Toil- j
lug them and readied 1). J. Boner's j
hotel by the roar entrance. He wa>
severely cut and bruised by his assail
ants, who are still at large.

Heavy Tixwh for Foster People.
The taxpayers of Foster township will
shortly be culled upon to pay the special
tax of 15)4 mills to pay the marshalled
debt of the townspip. The court on
September 22, having confirmed the re
port of Commissioner Halsey, who was
appointed to marshal! the debt, issued a
decree that the supervisors of tits town
ship shall within ten days prepare a
duplicate for a tax levy of 15'.; mills
upon the assessed valuation of the town
ship, with a proper warrant to the col
lector of taxes of said township to collect
thi! same within thirty days. The col
lector and treasurer of the township
are each to furnish a bond to be approv
ed by tho court in the sum of $10,634.32.
The amount of the debt is $5,017.16.
In additiun to tho foregoing tax. an
extra tax will be ordered collected from
tho taxpayers of that portion of Foster
township (South Heberton and Aivinton)
lately annexed to Freelund borough.
The report of Auditor Mcllugh, appoint
ed by the court last spring to audit the
accounts, lias not yet been made to the
court, but sufficient data lias been ob
tained to know that the tax rate to be
paid by the residents of that portion of
the township will be not less than 4 per
cent of the valuation of their property.
stejrmiilers Are In the Trust.
The Stegmalers, of Wllkesbarre, have
joined the big brewery trust, which lias
been buying up all the breweries in
Luzerne and Lackawanna counties dur
ing the past two or three months. The
Stegmalers are about the last to give
in: they have held out all along, and
said they would conduct their concern
as they have always done, but, the power
of the trust and the price olfered was at
last sufficient to induce them to sell out.
It is understood that $900,000, is the
price paid by the trust for the brewery,
and that in addition to this the Steg
maiers get a goodly slice of the corpor
ation's stock.
.Sinco the above announcement was
made the Stegmaiers have authoritivelv
stated that the deal Is off again and that
their brewery will remain independent.
As the trust owns every other prominent
plant In Luzerne and Lackawanna J
counties, a beer war is due at any time.
Instructor Douglas Has Retired.
Richard I', Kealy on Friday evening
became an instructor in tho Mining and
Mechanical Institute, succeeding W. ,1.
Douglas, of Hazleton. The latter did
not find life in the school quite as
pleasant since the Lattimor murder, in
which lie figured as a deputy and is said
to have boasted of liis work there, and
liis resignation is considered about the
best step lie could have taken in the in
terest of the institute. Douglas was
conceded to have been the most able
instructor the school had ever employed,
but liii} days of usefulness here were
over when lie showed Ills true character
on September lo iast.
Mr. Kealy Is employed by Marklc A
Co., and in the surveying and civil engi
neering line has no superior in the
locality. Under bis guidance the class
should thrive as well as before.
Council Meeting Tonight.
The regular monthly meeting of the
borough council will be hold this even
ing. Several Important matters, it is
said, will be brought up for settlement.
Tho poll tax ordinance will probably be
introduced tonight, and the question of
removing the arc light from East Main
street, near tho Public Park, will come
forward again. A motion was passed at
a recent meeting ordering the Electric
Light Company to remove the lamp from
this point to the Grand opera house
corner. This action is not satisfactory
to many residents, and a delegation is
expected to appear tonight to protest
against taking away the Main street
light,
