FOUR STRIKERS
UNDER ARREST
Coal and Iron Police Fail
to Incite a Riot.
Prisoners Taken to Wilkes
barre and Placed Under
Bail by Alderman Pollock.
Bail to Be Furnished.
John 11. Shovlln, ex-high constablo of
Freeland; John Schrader, of Jeddo; Wil
liam Gilgot, Jr., of Upper Lehigh, and
John Waskewicz, of Highland, were
arrested at Driftoo this morning by coal
and iron police. They were tkken to
Wilkesb&rre and placed under bail for
their appearance at court. In default
of bail the men were lodged in tho
county jail.
Coxo Bros. & Co. took aggressive
steps this morning to precipitate a riot
in this section, and that their plans for
a repetition of the Lattimer massacre
miscarried is due solely to the coolness
of the strikers' leaders and the presence
of the sherifT of the county.
A telephone message from Drifton
office at 3 o'clock this morning called
SherifT Jacobs, of Hazleton, out of bed.
lie was informed that a number of
strikers were to gather in that town to
commit depredations and was asked to
go there at once.
Summoning Deputy SherifT Issue Eck
ert, tho ex-county detective, and three
others, he started for Drifton. Eckert
was placed on the south outskirts of the
latter town, and the sheriff and tho
others continued on their way to Froe
land.
Arriving here ho found tho usual
number of men guarding the roads to
Drifton. Among the crowd woro strikers
from Drifton, Highland, Freeland and
Upper Lehigh. They wero waiting to
be joined by the Jeddo and Oakdale
delegations, after which tho usual morn
ing's work would begin.
According as tho time passed and no
men fronj Jeddo appeared, the feeling
here took root that they had been in
tercepted. In tho meanwhile tho work
of tho pickets went on as on previous
days, and none of tho Drifton employes,
excepting those who are exempt from
molestation, succeeded in getting
through the strikers" linos.
BUSBEC'TEI) A NEW MOVE.
The failure of the coal and irou police
to indulge in their morning inarch from
Drifton to tho Lebigh Valley Railroad
tracks at Freeland caused some com
ment, aud this added furthor suspicion
that Coxo Bros. & Co. had some now
move under way.
Whllo the strikers on tho Freeland
side of Drifton wore quietly performing
their work of inducing men to return
home, without interference from the
sherifT, who saw no laws transgressed,
a different scene was being enacted at
Drifton.
Deputy Sheriff Eckert mot tho Jeddo
strikers at tho outskirts of Drifton.
The officer read the riot act, after which
the men were ordered by their leaders
to disperse. This they did, some return
ing homeward and others starting on
through Drifton, intending to come to
Freolaod.
VVheu those bound this way neared
Drifton office tho coal and iron uniform
ed police wero called out and twenty
eight of tho latter formed a double rank
across Hazle township turnpike.
JOHN 801IRADKR ARRESTED.
Schrader was among the foremost
group of tho strikers and as ho was
about to walk past the company of coal
and Iron men two sprang from the
ranks, at tho order of John Rohlands,
and placed him under arrest.
After Schrader was arrested and
placed under guard tho specials turned
their attention to the balance of the
Jeddo men en route for Freeland. The
strikors bad halted when the arrest was
made and stood somewhat undecided
whether to return home or not.
Tho coal and iron men then started
forward, each man with his right hand
on his-revolver, which hung in front of
his breast. With their loft hands they
pushed the strikers rapidly ahead of
them, and those who were inclined to
expostulate or explain wero jostled
about without ceremony, notwithstand
ing the fact that none had left tho
township highway.
Fortunately, a few of tho strikers'
group saw through the plans of the men
who had charge of Uhe officers and they
called to their companions to return to
IIISCKLLANEOUH AUVEKTISKMENTS.

FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1902.
Jeddo, which advice was followed.
Those present say that the coal and iron
police were roundly berated by the Drif
ton officials for their alleged laxity In
permitting the Jeddo strikers to go away
peaceably.
This happened at 5.40 o'clock and
half an honr later a rumor reached the
body of strikers at Freeland that a
number of Jeddo men had been arrested
at Drifton.
Several wanted to go and investigate,
but were induced by Sheriff Jacobs and
his men to remain hero. However, a
party of about twenty went from Free
land to Drifton to learn the nature of
the trouble reported there.
SPECIAL OFFICER FIKKS A SHOT.
As they neared the line of special
officers in front of Drifton office one of
the latter drew a revolver and iired into
tho air. Shovlln, thinking the officer
had shot at the strikers, drew a revolver
to protect himself.
While holding the weapon In his hand
a Drifton officer approached from be
hind and dealt him a heavy blow with a
bludgeon, which felled him.
Four of the uniformed force then ran
forward and placed Shovlln under ar
rest. Gilgot and Waskewicz, who were
in tho strikers' party and had stepped for
ward to help Shovlln to his feet, were
also pounced upon by the specials and
arrested.
No resistance was offered by any of
the strikers to those who took them Into
custody.
Sheriff Jacobs and his deputies
brought tho four men to tho Freeland
Lebigh Valley station, and the sheriff
and Eckert took them to Wilkosbarre
on the train leaving here at 7.29 o'clock.
FOUR PLACED UNDER BAH*.
Upon the arrival of the officers and
men at the county seat the prisoners
wero taken to the office of Alderman
Pollock, of tho Fourth ward. Informa
tion against them was lodged by Eckert,
who charged them with "riot, rout aud
unlawful assembly."
The prosecution was represented by
Attorney John T. Lenahan, of Wilkos
barre, and tho defendants by Attorneys
James L. Lenahan, of Wllkesbarre, and
R. J. O'Donnell, of Freeland.
Alderman Pollock held tho men under
bail for their appearance at court, fixing
the amounts as follows: For Shovlln,
81.000; for Waskewicz, 8500; for Sch
rader, 8500, and for Gilgot, SSOO. In
default of ball the prisoners were com
mitted to the county jail.
The Tribune is informed this after
noon that bail will be furnished for tiie
prisoners, and that the four men may be
expected home on tho 7.39 o'clock train
this evening.
FIRST LOSS OF LIFE.
The first loss of life during the strike
occurred yesterday at the William A.
colliery at Duryea. Antonio Guiseppe,
an Italian, was shot dead by one of the
coal and iron policemen from bohind the
stockade of the colliery. Reports differ
as to the cause of tho shooting. The
friends of the dead man say he was
walking on the road near tho stockade
when he was fired upon. Tho man was
on his way from Scranton to Duryea at
the time. Anothor report is that the
Italian triod to get over the fence and
would not heed tho warning from the
policemen to go away.
Tho body lay In the roadway for some
time. Tho coal and iron police would
not venture outside of tho stockade to
remove it and tho poople living In the
vicinity did not want to take it away
until the arrival of the coronor. When
the sheriff of Lackawanna county
reached the scene ho ordered tho body
removed.
ARBITRATION OFFER DENIED.
It was reported at Pottsville last night
that the ond of the strike Is near at
hand. The roport said that at meetings
of tho executive boards of the United
Mine Workers, which will be hold simul
taneously in the three districts, today,
there will be submitted a proposition for
tho arbitration of the miners'grievances
if they return to work at once.
The union officers say that they have
not roceivod any offer as stated above
aud do not know what grounds those
who circulated the rumor have for the
statement. The Mine Workers loaders
would not b surprised to receive over
tures looking toward a settlement of tho
trouble. There aro abundant signs of
disagreement among tho operators.
SHORT STRIKE ITEMS.
Sixteen striking miners were placed
under arrest yesterday morning for al
leged disorderly conduct in the Panther
Creek valley section. It is alleged that
these men stopped trolley cars carrying
non-union men. and by threats of vio
lence forced tho men to return to their
homes.
Stephen Reap, a member of the
executive board of the Ninth district,
and Hugh Duggan. a striker, both of
1 Oiypbant, were held in bail yesterday at
Scranton for throats and taking part in
the recent riots at Olyphant.
Commencement Exercises.
Standing room was at a premium at
the Grand opera house on Monday even
ing, and the commencement exercises
of tho senior class of St. Ann's Com
mercial school woro enjoyed by nearly
1,000 poople. The stage was prettily
decorated with plants, flags, etc., and
presented a most inviting appearance
when the curtain rose.
The program, as published In Mon
day's issue, was carried out without any
important change, and tho various num
bers were liberally applauded. The
orations, songs and musical selections
given by the members of tho class were
instructive, while the salutatory and
prophesies were entertaining and neatly
worded.
George McLaughlin, Esq., delivered
the opening address and spoke encour
aglngly to tho graduates. Rev. M J.
Falliheo read the address of Prof. Cross,
the examiner, who was unable to be
prosent, and also awarded the diplomas
aud medals to the class. DoPleriVs
orchestra rendered several classical
selections during the evening.
The exercises throughout reflect credit
upon the convent commercial school and
its Instructors, the Sisters of Mercy, and
the local public have every reason to
feel proud of the institution in our midst
which can so well equip young men and
women for the world of business.
Wright Steps Down.
J. Ridgway Wright has resignod as
chairman of the Luzerne county Demo
cratic committee, and simultaneously his
name appeared as leader of tho "Citizens'
Alliance." This organization is com
posed of several hundred business and
professional men of Wilkosbarre and
vicinity, sworn to fight against boycotts,
the intimidation of workers at tho mines
and acts of violence.
As the head of such an organization,
secret as it is In character, Mr. Wright
could not maintain his position at the
• head of the Democratic party, and it is
understood that he has practically put
aside all his political ambitions, as the
position is not one to win sympathy aud
votes.
Major Wright served a term in the
legislature, was a major in the Ninth
regiment, and has long been one of the
most prominent money-wing Democrats
in Luzerne county.
Greek Church Cathedral.
Canon Hoboday, the vicar general of
the Greek Catholic Church of America,
has closed tho deal for tho purchase of
tho Tripp homestead in tho western
part of Scranton. The purchase price
was 830,000. The property will be used
as a sito on which will be erected the
headquarters of tho Greek Catholic
Church in America. The intention is
to build a cathedral and convent there.
Vicar General Ilodobay Is now vir
tually head of tho fifty-three Groek
Catholic priests in this country. He
will make a report to I'ope Loo regard
ing the condition of tho Grook Catholic
Church in America and thou a perma
nent head of the Greek dioceses of the
United States will be appointed.
To Celebrate the Fourth.
The committee In charge of tho Fourth
of July celebration In Freeland, to be
held under the auspices of the Citizens'
Hose Company, Is working hard to make
tho day's exercises worthy of tho oc
casion. On account of so many men
being away fxoiu home, the majority of
tho societies invitedjto participate in tho
demonstration were deterred from tak
ing favorable action on the invitation,
nevertheless tho firemen expoct to make
a good showing.
At the Public park tho annual picnic
of the firemen will be held during the
afternoon and ovohing.
Suit for Damages.
Rev. Gabriel Martyak, pastor of St.
Mary's Catholic church, and wife
Irene, have entered an action in the
courts of Luzerne county against George
Molinki and wife Catherine, in which it
is charged that tho defendants have
slandered and attempted to ruin the
roputation of the wifo of tho plaintiff.
The amount of damages claimed is
810,000.
