STRIKE MARTYR
LAID AT REST
Over 6,000 People Follow
Remains to Cemetery.
Funeral of Patrick Sharpe
at Lansford the Most Im
pressive Ever Seen in the
Panther Creek Valley.
Yesterday the citizens of the Panther
Creek valley and surrounding territory
paid tribute to the memory of Patrick
Sharpe, the strike leader who was shot
dead at Nosquehoning Monday night,
when they turned out by thousands to
follow his remains to the Catholic ceme
tery at Summit Hill. It was by far the
largest funeral ever held in the region.
It was a day of mourning. Many flags
at half-mast were displayed alotfcg the
line of march and business was at a
standstill. At an early hour in the
morning the mine workers began pour
ing Into the town, every hamlet within
a radius of many miles being repre
sented.
When 8.30 o'clock, the hour set for
the funeral, arrived Ridge streot was a
surging mass of humanity. A pall ap
peared to hang over the community and
few spoko above a whisper. The re
mains, which were viewed by 10,000
poople, reposed In a black cloth casket
and were surrounded by floral oflerings.
The funeral procession formed for its
two-mile march to St. Joseph's Catholic
church at Summit Hill shortly before 9.
The Miners' Union band, which had
toured a large portion of the state under
the managment of tho deceased, led tho
procession. Tho cortege then proceed
ed in the following order:
Railroaders' Brotherhood, Ancient
Order of Hibernians, Ladles' Auxiliary
to tho Ancient Order of Hibernians,
President Thomas Duffy, of District 7,
and other labor leaders, twenty-four
mine workers carrying the floral offer
ings, hearse drawn by two black horses,
twenty-live carriages with relatives and
1,000 women. Next, In solid phalanx,
inarching four abreast with military
precision, came nearly 4.000 United
Mine Workers and tho engineers' and
firemen's locals. St. Joseph's church,
Summit Hill, where tho services took
place, was crowded to the doors while
thousands were unablo to gain admit
tance.
Solemn requiem mass was celebrated
by Rev. Loughlin, Rev. McConnon and
Rev. Norton. Following tho mass Rev.
McConnon dollvored a stirring sermon.
Among other things he said: "You
mine workers who are looking for your
rights, hero is one who has shed blood
in your behalf; he was a martyr to the
sacred cause of labor. 1 have confidence
In the United Mine Workers. The
people of tho United Slates commend
them for their conduct in this strike.
Now I want to say to you observe tho
law. Lot no one daro to try to avenge
this martyr's death. Let me say to your
leaders, employ good counsel in this
case. See to it that tho guilty party is
punished. Go straight home, chorish
not malice and forgive those who are
persecuting you."
After the body had been lowered into
its last resting place many of the miners
dropped tho piece of spruce they had
worn during the funeral march Into the
grave, and tho casket was covered by a
blanket of green sprigs.
Wednesday evening a committee of
mine workers visited Major Gearhart,
the commander of tho Twelfth regi
ment, stationed at Manila Park, and
asked him not to send troops into Lans
ford. They said they had appointed a
"peace committee" of about 200 men to
preserve order and that they felt safo In
saying that there would be no disturb
ance. Major Gearhart said that troops
would not be sent into the town unless
It was shown that the miners and the
local authorities could not preserve
order.
There was no need for them. The
ofllcors who wero appointed by the
various locals of tho Mine Workers wero
on duty along the route of tho funeral

to see to it that no disordor took place.
A movement has been started to raise
funds to erect a tablet on tho spot where
Sharpe was shot, and also to place a
monument above the spot whoro ho
sleeps.
Tho Sharpe inquest will begin tomor
row. Application for the release of

tho man who killed Sharpe. The mine
workers will produce at least live wit
nesses who will swear that McElrnoyle
did the killing. The case promises to
be one of the most bitterly fought and
sensational in tho history of the stato.
Suit Over a Monument.
From Yesterday's Plain Speaker.
An interesting suit, in which prom
inent Freeland people are involved,
was hoard before Alderman Huchenau,
of this city, last evening. It appears
that some time ago Mrs. Frances J.
Thomas, Mrs. Catherine Brobst and
William Davis, heirs of the late Thomas
Davis, treasurer of Freeland borough,
contracted with Philip Ivoipor for tho
erection of a monument over the re
mains of their father, which reposod in
a plot in the Freeland cemetery.
The three children aforementioned
and another daughter each contributed
SSO to a fund of S2OO to pay for the
monument, and tho full amount was
deposited in the Citizens' bank of Free
land. After the stone had been erected
In tho cemetery, however, Mrs. Brobst
demurred at signing tho chock for tho
payment of Kolpor, and it was only after
considerable difficulty that she was in
duced to attach her name to the paper.
ICeiper fiually procured tho check for
tho S2OO but when he presented it at tho
Citizens' bank ho found that Mrs. Brobst
had again changed her mind and order
ed payment suspended. Keipor then
garnished the money in tho bank and
the suit before Alderman Bucheuau was
the result.
Tho hearing developed some inter
esting testimony and was marked by
several sensational scenes. Alderman
Huchenau gave judgment against the
bank for $l5O which is the amount held
by the institution minus tho SSO contri
buted by Mrs. Brobst and which she pro
tested against Keipor receiving.
Gave SI,OOO to Miners.
The last day of tho state convention

for the striking miners. Tho total
membership of tho order in Pennsyl
vania is 23.202. Since the last report
$100,965 45 has been paid out for sick

purposes, $18,040.47; paid for mainten
ance, $30,587.82. There is a balance in

Insurance Companies llefused
to Insure the Rev. J. W.
Yeisley Because He Had
Kidney Troubles.
This case Is but one of thousands
where the head of the house was re
fused insurance, because ho had kidney
trouble. Mr. Yeisley had given up in
despair when soiuo friend recommended
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and it cured him.
Mr. Yeisley writes:
"My kidneys and liver wero in bad
condition and I was anxious for re
lief. I had tfried many remedies
without success and when I bought
a bottle of 'Favorite Remedy,'it was
with but little faith in its ever help
ing mo, but in a short time it effec
tively proved its merit. Perhaps the
best proof I can give that it has
completely cured mo Is to state that
1 have since been accepted by four
different life insurance companies."
The Rev. Mr. Yeisley is the pastor
of the First Reformed church, of St.
Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor of
the St. Paris Dispatch.
There is no question that Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best
and surest medicine in the world for dis
eases of the kidneys, liver, bladder, ad
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation, as well as the
weaknesses peculiar to women. It
quickly rolioves and cures inability to
hold urine and the necessity of getting
up a number of times during the night.
It puts an end to that scalding pain
when passing urine and corrects the
bad effects of whiskey and beer.
