Striker Shot by Deputy. In a clash between strike sympathiz ers and deputies at Neiquehooing Mon day night, Patrick Sharp, a strike leader, of Lansford, was shot and killed almost instantly by a deputy. The shooting caused considerable excitement for a time, but order was soon restored without any other persons being injured. A deputy named Harry McElmoyle was arrested, charged with the killing of Sharp, and was taken to the county jail at Mauch Chunk. The shooting occurred shortly after G o'clock. Five deputies wore on their way to a colliery of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, just outside of the town. In the centre of the town they wore met by several strikers who began persuading thorn not to go to the col liery. The officers did not stop, and the men followed them to a point near the colliery. There aro conflicting stories as to what actually brought on the clash, but just before the deputies entered the place a shot was heard and Sharp dropped to the ground. The bullet entered his body close to the heart and he died almost instantly. Witnesses say that the shooting was done by Mc- Elmoyle and that he stood only six or seven feet from Sharp when he fired his revolver. Only one shot was fired. Tho deputies Immediately withdrew to the colliery, and a large crowd gathered about the place. When It was learned that Sharp was dead there was great indignation among thestrikers and other town people, and for a time it looked as though serious trouble would follow. Cooler heads among the mine workers, however, prevailed upon the crowd to disperse. Witnesses to tho shooting went to the office of W. It. Watkins, a justice of the peace, and made information against McElmoyle, charging him with the shooting of Sharp. The justice placed the warrant in tho hands of a constable, who found McElmoyle, aud, accom panied by a guard of other officors. took his prisoner to Mauch Chunk. In the opinion of his townspeople, the shooting of Sharp was unwarranted. Despite the fact that he had been charg ed with sundry offenses, growing out to his prominence in the strike, he is described as having boon ordinarily a peaceablo, unoffending man. The reputation of McEmoyle, like that of Sharp, is that of a man who has hitherto given no cause for police sur veillance. A battalion of the Twelfth infantry was sent to Lansford yesterday from Shenandoah and is stationed at Manila park. A protest against the presence of the troops has been filed by the officers of tho minors' union. The denunciation of the majority of the state supreme court for its decision in the "ripper" cases by Alexander Simpson, Jr., the retiring president of the State Bar Association, at the meet ing of that body at Cambridge Springs yesterday, will probably Impress the minds of thinking people more than all the stump oratory on the subject that can be perpetrated during the present political canvass. Mr. Simp son, by the way, is a Republican. His criticism of the majority of the su preme court, therefore, cannot be charged up to political partisanship. In the course of his remarks Mjr. Simpson quotes section 7 of article 3 of the state constitution which forbids the enact ment of "any local or special laws regulating the affairs of counties, cit ies, townships, wards, boroughs or school districts * * * or changing their charters, creating offices or pre scribing the powers and duties of offi cers in counties, cities, boroughs, etc. Mr. Simpson comments on this consti tutional provision as follows; "It is safe to say, from the debates in tho convention and from the history of the times, that outside of the supreme court chambers nearly everyone sup posed that the clauses quoted destroy ed the power to legislate for locali ties." To the lay mind at least it seems that Mr. Simpson has the cor rect view of the matter.—liarrisburg Stur-Independent. HUMOR OF THE HOUR Various Application!*.
