MARCHERS VISIT
UPPER LEHIGH
Two Dwellings Attacked
in the Dead of Night.
Home of William Hoffman
Is Badly Wrecked by a
Band of Unknown Men.
Several Warrants Issued.
At 1 o'clock this morning a band of
unknown men attacked the residence
of William Hoffman, in No. 4 Upper
Lehigh, also the residence of William
IS. BoUerly, In No. 3 Upper Lehigh. In
the former house practically all the
furnituro was demolished. In the Bot
terlv home no damage was done, but
Mrs. Betterly and her six-year-old son
were given a severe fright. Hoffman
and his father escaped while their house
was being attacked, and up to noon
today had not returned to Upper Lehigh.
The affair Is shrouded in considerable
mystery and reports as to the number of
persons in the attacking party and the
direction from which they came diifer
very much.
Hoffman, with his wife and father,
John Hoffman, occupy ouo-half of a
double dwelling in No. 4. The other
half of the building Is occupied by Wal
ter Hawkins and family. Mrs. Hoffman
says it was 1 o'clock or thereabouts
when she heard shouts outside her home.
Later a volley of stones against tho
house smashed the windows.
Her husband and bis father, fearing
personal violence, broke through the
attic into the Hawkins side and escaped
in that manner. Neither of them has
since been seen in the town.
About the time the men had succeed
ed in escaping the doors of tho Hoffman
home wero opened and several men
entered the house. The stove was over
turned, tables and chairs destroyed,
curtains torn from tho windows and
cooking utensils thrown in tho yard.
On tho second floor much damage re
sulted froru tho stones which came
through the windows. The residence
this morning presented a scene of
desolation.
Burning coals from tho overturned
stovo set fire to carpet, but tho blaze
was extinguished by the men who com
mitted the deod before much damage
was done.
At tho homo of W. B. Betterly tho
men knockod at tho doors and roused
the inmates from their beds. They did
not enter tho house, but their actions
outside caused Mrs. Betterly to become
hysterical and to give their young son
convulsions. The condition of tbo
woman today Is said to bo serious.
One report has it that the marchers
numbered over fifty men, while another
gives eleven as the total strength of tho
crowd. The direction from which they
camo is also disputed, some claiming
they entered from Upper Lehigh proper
and others that they came from tho
liutier end of the town.
John Ilolfman was until lately a
resiilnnt of town, where ho was em
ployed opening drains for the Freeland
Water Company. He recently obtained
a divorce from his wife and wont to
livo at Upper Lehigh with his son.
Both men havo been working since tho
strike. Betterly, it Is said, has not
workud since a few days after tho strike
was declared.
Deputy Sheriff Isaac Eckert, Chfef of
Coal and Iron Police J. D. Hampton and
Coal and Iron Policeman Willard
Young visited Upper Lehigh this morn
ing. Eckert was very bitter in his de
nunciation of the attack and charged
the striking miners with being responsi
ble for It.
Tbo oflieors spent several hours in
the town gathering evidence and a re
port this ufteruoon states that warrants
for the arrest of parties suspected to be
eoucorned in the alfair will be issued
this aftornoon at Hazloton.
Freeland and Uppor Lehigh members
of tho miners' union who wero seen to
day vigorously denounce tho action of
the men whose work last night will go
far to destroy public sympathy for the
strikers, as every lawless act committed
now will be charged against the miners.
Warrants Issued. —Warrants for
the arrest of several men were issued
tliis afternoon by Alderman Heidonrich.
He refused to divulgo tho names of tho
parties accused.
TIIK GENERAL SITUATION.
There is a growing conviction that In
stead of declaring a national strike the
convention at Indianapolis will arrango
to provide a substantial fund for the
strikers, which will be raised by the soft
coal men who remain at work. The
propoct of this has made the operators
FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JULY 14, 1902.
more uneasy than did that of a national
strike. Thoy sou In a general strike
more opportunity of winning than in
continuing tho present strike, with
the strikers well provided for, and eager
to return to work only when the opera
tors grant the concession they demand.
Tho conference of President Johu
Mitchell and Father Curran at Wilkes
barro, before the former's departure for
the West, has not yet boon explained.
Father Curran said that he would like
very much to mako It public, because it
is good news, but ho gave his word to
Mr. Mitchell that ho would not and must
remain silent. lie predicts In a short
while cause for rejoicing on tho part of
tho miners. A rumor prevailed that Mr.
Mitchell told him the striko would end
in two weeks, but this he denied.
ALL RUMORS ARK NOT TRUE.
Striking miners should bo careful to
not allow themselves to bo used as tools
by persons who havo axes to grind.
Men who havo personal enemies are
being accused by tho latter of joining
tho Citizens' Alliance, and as this is
dono for the purpose of injuring them in
tho eyes of the miners the strikers
should insist on undoubted proof before
believing rumors which often have no
foundation other than personal revenge.
Tho same advice can bo given to
superintendents of tho coal companies
hereabouts. Borne of tbo spies and
agents who havo boen delegated to re
port strikers' sayiugs and doings are
taking advantage of their position
to belie and defame men whom thoy do
not like. The 9torles thoy carry to the
ofliees should not bo accepted by tbo
superintendents as gospel truth.
OFF TO TIIK CONVENTION.
Upon his return from tho Panther
Creek valley last night, President
Thomas Duffy, of District 7, when ques
tioned concerning the probable action
of the Indianapolis convention, said
that the decision of the convention
could not be forecasted. Tbo delegates
from District 7 go instructed for a
national strike. The delegates from
this region, numbering twonty-six, will
leave for Indianapolis tomorrow even
ing.
Those who will represent the local
unions of town and vicinity are: Coun
cilman P. G. Gallagher, national ex
ecutive board member, and Daniel
Boyle, Freeland; Frank Ray, Jeddo;
James Johnson, Uppor Lehigh, and
Charles Jacquott, Highland.
PICKKTINO RUNEWKD.
Long linos of pickets guarded tho
roads between Freeland and Drifton
this morning, and only a few of the
shop and railroad employes wore per
mitted to pass. The shop men who
wero turned back were afterward visit
ed at their homes by Drifton officials for
the purpose of learning who were on
gaged in the picket work. Some of the
men did not know tho parties who asked
them to return home, but others did and
furnished the names of tboso who spoke
to them.
With tho information thus obtained
arrangements wero made by Coxe Bros.
SL Co. to have warrants issued at Hazlo
ton for tho arrest of the pickets.
MIBCELLANROUS NOTKS.
Notwithstanding the appeals and pro
tests of the union leaders, parties In
town still persist in furnishing free beer
to strikers who will accept it. Drunk
enness in the miners' ranks is not com
mon, but there Is enough of it seen to
cause alarm to the great number who
want to conduct tho striko on peace
able and orderly linos. A certain coal
company is said to bo paying for the
beer, but this does not excuse the
actions of tho men who drink it and
thereby alienate tho sympathy of tho
public from all strikers.
Many of tho Freeland men who were
formerly employed as clerks and work
ors In Drifton office spent yesterday at
their homes. When the Drifton fire
men struck on June 2 their places were
filled by the clerks and yesterday was
tho first time for several of them to
venture beyond the protection of the
coal and iron police.
Light Talk Tonight.
An adjourned meeting of tho borough
council will bo held this evening, when
tbo question of lighting tho borough
streets will bo taken up again for dis
cussion. The members, or at least somo
of them, havo been giving tho subject
much consideration lately, and as to
night's session is to bo devoted solely to
light, it is likely that much information
of interest to taxpayers will come out.
Representatives of the Electric Light
Company, of town, and the Welsbach
iight, of Philadelphia, aro expected to
be present to answer councilmanic
(piestions.
A sample of tho light which tho Wels
bach people will furnish is to be placed
at tho corner of Front and Ridge streets
this evening, to give councilmen and
others an opportunity to judge its
merits.
Must Pay Its Debts.
The case of Sol Hirsch and others,
creditors of Plains township, has just
been decided by tho superior court.
Mr. Hirsch and those interested with
him held judgments against tho town
ship for about SOO,OOO. The defense was
that anything in excess of 2 per cent
was unconstitutional and void and could
not be collected. Judge Lynch held
otherwise and said that if tliey violated
the constitutional provisions of 2 per
cent on tho valuation tho defense should
have been sot up before the time had
gono by to take an appeal, but that the
defense had been set up too late, and be
directed that thu judgment should bo
paid in full.
The case was carried to tho superior
court and on Thursday it rendered a
decision in the main queston, that tho
judgment should be paid, but decided
that the tax to pay the judgment must
be levied on the revised valuation as
made by tho commissioners and not
upon thu full valuation as made by the
assessors. To this extent the decree
was modified.
This, in short, means that instead of
18 mills being levied to pay tho debt it
will require four times that amount of
mills, the same being based on tho re
duced valuation.
An Enjoyable Party.
A masquerade watermelon party, tho
first of its kind in town, was held
on the lawn of the Loichtman home on
South Centre street Friday evening.
The affair was given in honor of Misses
Hlrdio Gross, of Philadelphia, and Ida
Brenner and Hannah Refowieh, of
Pottsvllle, who are visiting Freeland
relatives and friends, and was attended
by upwards of fifty guests from Scran
ton, Wilkesbarre, Philadelphia, Read
ing, Pottsvllle, Hazloton and Freeland.
Tho lawn was profusely decorated
and prosented a most handsome appear
ance. Light was furnished by numer
ous Chinese lanterns. Tho guests were
attired in costumes that wero both cost
ly and comical, and when masks were
removed at 10 30 o'clock there wero
many surprises.
The judges unanimously awarded to
Miss Birdie Gross tho prize for tho most
elaborate costume and Miss Hannah
Rofowich received the prize for tho
most comical cosLutno.
After the prizes had boon disposed of
the guests wero invited to tho palatable
spread which had been prepared for
thein, and when the hour came to de
part each and every one present voted
it the most enjoyable ovening of his or
her life.
Appointed Coal Inspector.

Inspector for Coxo Bros. Co. for
several years past, has accepted a simi
lar position under tho United States
government, and left today for Wash
ington, where he will be stationed. His

Lost in the Woods.
Lazarus Brizzy, aged 05 years, residing
with her sister, Mrs. Charles Dinsmore,
in Harleigh, left home at an early hour
Friday morning to go to tho woods to
gathor huckleberries and has not been
soon nor heard of since. When ho fail
od to return Friday night a searching
party was formed and tho mountains sur
rouding Uarleigh wero traveled but no
trace of him could be found. They wont

Black Ridge but did not succeed in find
ing Mr. Brizzy, whom it is feared has
been ovorcome and died from oxposuro.

able hour each time and on this account
his friends fear he has perished.

TRI-WEEKLY
PAIN IN THE BACK
A Sure Sign of Kidney
Trouble—T)r David Ken
nedy's Favorite Rem
edy Will Cure You.
Pain in the back is a never failing sign
of kidney disease, another sure sign is
the condition of the urine; if you havd a
pain in the back then look to the condi
tion of your urine. Take a glass tum
bler and fill it with urine; after it has
stood 24 hours, if it has has a sediment,
if it is milky or cloudy, pale or disclor
cd, stringy or ropy, your kidney and
bladder aro in a dangerous condition
and need immediate attention, or the
consequences may prove fatal.
F. C. Wilcox of 55U New Britain avo.,
Hartford, Conn., says:
"1 had a frightful pain in my back,
the result of kidney trouble. My
physician seemed powerless to re
lieve ine. I determined to try Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy;
it helped mo wonderfully, and in a
short time cured me completely."
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
is the one medicine that really cures aIT
diseases or the kidneys, liver, bladder
and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation and corrects the
bad effects of whiskey and beer on the
system. It is wonderful how it makes
that pain in the back disappear, how it
relieves the desire to urinate often, es
pecially at night, and drives away that
scalding pain in passing water and in
a remarkably short time makes you well
and strong.
