FREELAND TRIBUNE. VOL. XIII. NO. 37. S. 11l 4 SIS Corner Centre and Luzerne Streets. To lie Poll! This is the time of the year when the average family is compelled to expend more money than at any other sea son. To prepare for winter means the purchasing of numerous necessary articles. Are you aware that an inspec tion of our stock will let you know that we can Save You Money? It's "volume" we're looking for these days, and not our usual percentage of profit. The lower we make the price the quicker you will buy our goods, and we're figuring on putting out hereafter twice the quantity monthly, at half the usual profits. It will pay us, and it will pay you, to take advantage of this proposition. Quantity and Quality. We carry as large a stock as any other general store in the region and the people tell us that the quality of most articles we sell are somewhat better, and very often somewhat cheaper, than you receive over the average counter. Our butter, eggs and groceries are always fresh, and all our goods are reliable. Corner Centre and Luzerne Streets.

STAR SHOE STOEE. Hugh Malloy, Prop. Curncr JT: Silt, Wonder If He Saw This? He was immured in tbo durkest dungeon beneath the eastlo moat. "It I had a saw, a llle, anything—" he moaned, as he looked at the solid bars across the solitary window. Then a thought struck him. His face brightened, like a Cripple Creek conflagration. Kanidly running over his supply of collars, which had just come from the laundry, he selected one tltted to his purpose. Five minutes later the great middle bar of the window, dexterously severed by the saw like edge of the laundered collar, fell upart. He Was Free. If he had had his collars laundered nt the Freeland Steam Laundry he would be in jail yet.

FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1900. SECOND WEEK OF STRIKE Troops Arrived at McAdoo This Morning. Four Regiments of Infantry and Cavalry and Artillery in Schuylkill County—Sit uation Today. The great strike entered upon its sec ond week this morning. The miners have made many gains in the past fow days among those who continued work ing after the time set for the strike to begin, and so far operations have not been resumed at any mine or shaft in any of the regions where the men laid down their tools. All collieries that were compelled to shut down by lack of workers are still closed. The only change in the local situation Is the closing down of the Sandy Run collieries this morning. The mine workers remained at home and the shut down is complete. There is no decided change at the collieries in the other sur rounding towns. Since our last issue Governor Stone has ordered troops to Schuylkill county, and the following are now on duty in that region: Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth regiments of infantry, Battery C and the Governor's troop, all a part of the National Guard of Pennsylvania. The majority of the troops are located in and around Shenandoah. This morn ing, however, four companies of the Twelfth regiment were orderd to locate at McAdoo, and arrived their about 7 o'clock. G. B. Mark In & Co., Coxe Bros it Co. and the Lehigh Valley Coal Company have requested Governor Stone to send troops to Jeddo, Drifton and Ila/.loton to protect their property, but, as this request has not yet been backed by Sheriff Harvey, tho operators' claim to state protection has not been granted. SANDY RUN CLOSED. Sandy Run mine workers were met on their way to tho mines Saturday morn ing by men from tho strikers' ranks and wore asked to join the movement. With scarcely an exception the miners agroed to comply and many offered to return home then. They wore told, however, to finish the week and remain at home this morning. The men carried out their promises by remaining home this morning. A meeting of the employes of Sandy Run collieries will be hold this evening. Rev. J. W. BischolT, it is expected, will address the men. MEETING AT ECKLEY. Several of the miners of ICckley at tended a meeting held in that town yes torday afternoon. The Eckley men were requested, and in some instances ordored, to remain away from the gath ering. Mine foremen endeavored to break up tho meeting, but were unsuc cessful. The speakors pleaded with the workers at Eckley to join tho strikers' ranks, and many of those present prom ised to remain at home this morning. Tho collieries are working today, but it i 9 claimed the force is much smaller than on Saturday. FATHER MACK'S ADVICE. At the lato mass at St. Ann's church yesterday Rev. F. Mack gave advice to tho members of his congregation. He explained to them tho rights given to each individual by the divine, moral and civil laws and cautioned them to not transgress these laws he also caution ed them to remain In their homes, especially after nightfall, and to avoid intoxicating drinks. SHOOTING AT SHENANDOAH. A sheriff's posse fired on a crowd of men near Shenandoah Friday afternoon, killing two persons and wounding seven others. Sheriff Toole was called to Shenandoah to surpress the crowds that threatened mine workers and- colliery property. At quitting time the sheriff and a small posse which ho had sum moned on the ground went to the Indian Ridge colliery, of tho Reading Company, to escort the workingmen to thoir Continued on Fourth Pngo.

Three of the men who have been 9ent to Freeland for the alleged purpose of protecting mine property and miners from the strikers are under arrest, charged with the grave crime of high way robbery. So far the evidence is against the accused deputies. The three men are Bert Howard, Hamilton Farnharm and Robert Shoe maker, all of Wilkesbarre, where their families are numbered among the aris tocracy of that city. They are accused by Jacob Yoski, a saloon man who resides at Carbon and Adams street, of robbing him of $167. Yoski drove to Highland Saturday evening to sell beer and collect out standing bills. He was met by the guards at the entrance to the town and notified that no beer could be sold in Highland. He was permitted, however, to collect his bills. When leaving the town ho was asked by three of tho deputies for a ride to Freeland. He consented and the four came to town on his wagon. When Yoski reached the alley at the rear of tiis homo the deputies demanded that he drive them to Joddo. He refused. Suddenly one of the men grasped him by tho throat, while his two companions rifled his pockots, taking all tho money about his person, which amounted to $167, and tired two shots in the air. Tho robbers then took to their heels, lip Carbon street to Washington, to Luzerne, then to Centre and to the Central hotol, where a number of the deputies are quartered. They were closely followed by Yoski, and although it was after 10 o'clock a crowd soon col lected about the hotel. Yoski picked out the men at the hotel and they were taken in charge by the police. Later on a hearing was given them before Squire Shoviin, who committed them to prison in default of bail. Sheriff Harvey, who was notified of thd occurrence, arrived in town, relieved tho prisoners of their badges and com missions, and advised that they betaken to the county jail. Constable James Welsh, Officer Benj. Ilontz and Daniel Slattory left at 3 o'clock yesterday morning with the prisoners for Wilkesbarre. Tho prisoners socured bail yesterday and aro free until their case is called by the court. This affair naturally creatod a great deal of excitement in town, and the people of Freeland, regardless of their views or sympathies on tho strike ques tion, are indignant that a gang contain ing such men should be permitted to prowl about the vicinity armed with deadly weapons. The general opinion of tho class of men who will act as deputies was always very low, and the occurrence of Saturday night has gone a long way in convincing law-abiding people that the region is infested with a band of unscrupulous thugs who were brought here to create trouble. Trainmen Will Fight. The Brotherhood of Railroad Train men has submittod a formal complaint to United States District Attorney Hol land, of l'hiladolphia, charging that the officials of the Reading Railway have discriminated against certain employes becauso thoy were members of the brotherhood.
