SCRIMMAGE AT
NO. 40 MINE
Special Officer Attacked at
Hazleton Today.
Reports That the Colliery
Would Resume Drew a
Large Crowd and a Guard
Is Roughly Handled.
For nearly a week past It has boon
heralded through the region that No.
40 colliery, at Hazleton, would resume
operations this morning. It was as
serted by agents of the company that a
large force of men had been gathered
Inside the stockado during the past few
weeks, that a considerable amount of
coal had been mined and that this coal
would bo hoisted and prepared for mar
kot this week, commencing today.
At an early hour this morning tho
' striking employes of tho colliery began
congregating near tho stockade, and at
I 0.30 o'clock every road leading to tho
mine was filled with hundreds of pickets.
It is estimated that fully 3,000 men were
| on the scone at 7 o'clock.
At the latter hour William Scheuch
a young man, made an attempt to break
through the strikers' ranks and reach
No. 40. Friends tried to induce him lo
roturn homo and help them win the
strike, but he porslsted in his efforts to
gain tho protection of tho special police
inside the colliery fence.
Ills father, August Scheuch, is a
special officer at No. 40 colliery. lie
saw the position of his son and rushed
to aid him. A dispute arose, no one
knows just how or who is to blame, but
In a short while Scheuch, Sr., was at
tacked.
During the melee tho young man
escaped without injury, but his father
was stabbed three times with a pen
knife, received several kicks and was
struck on the head by a stone. Ho was
taken to the Miners' hospital, where
tho wounds were found to bo very slight.
The incident created created tromen
dous excitement for awhilo and many
alarming rumors wero sent out regard
ing tho affair.
Those who expected to see the com
pany make good their predictions to
resume operations and prepare coal for
market were disappointed. No effort
was made to work the mine, nor was
resumption attempted at any other
colliery In this region.
CONCESSIONS AGREED UPON.
Today began tho sixteenth week of
t|}o great strike and the coutonding
forcos still face each other with deter
mination. On the part of the strikers
the feoling that they will win has in
fused now hope in their ranks and it
can bo truthfully said that they are as
strong in spirit today as at any time
since tho contest began.
With their-opponents, tho operators,
there is on tho surface nothing visible
but that same persistence which has
marked their domeanor sluce tho strike
was inaugurated. A change in tone in
tholr talk has, however, taken place,
and for nearly a week the public has
not been regaled with a bombastic in
terview from their mouth-piece, Presi
dent Bacr, of the Reading Company.
The daily ultimatum of the coal presi
dents that only an unconditional sur
render on the part of the miners will
end the strike is no longer read in the
metropolitan press. Truesdalo, Fowler
and Haer, the trio who went out of their
way dally to Impress the operators' posi
tion on reporters, have had nothing to
say lately, and their organs In the large
cities have taken the cue and are also
veering around from their former posi
tion.
Tho avowed intention of those to
whom the management of tho strike
was intrusted by the operators was to
break the union before work would bo
resumed. Tho time asked by them and
given to them to accomplish this is
about to expire and the much-desired
result, from a Baer's point of view, has
not been attained nor can tho general
body of operators see any symptoms of
a breaking up.
The Individual operators and the
smaller coal roads have found out at a
heavy cost that Mr. Baer does not pos
sess tho ability to perforin all that he
promised and discord has followed this
discovery. The operators have learned
that Baer's uncompromising attitude
has steadily strengthened tho workers,
and that ills ultimatums and manifes
toes have done nothing more serious
than to amuse the strikers.
Such is the condition of affairs In the
ranks of the operators and the Tribune
is speaking authorltlvely when it says
so. President Baer is on the verge of
being deposed as leader of the operators
FKEELAND, PA., MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1902.
and unless a truce is delared by the
warring elements of the coal combine
within a few days he will be ousted from
this position.
Self-interest has held the operators,
large and small, together so far. This
same self-Interest has gone Its limit and
nothing has been gained, and tho pow
erful Influences behind Mr. Baer realize
that the combination Is about to dis
solve unless satisfactory results appear
without further delay. These results
cannot bo accomplished within the time
given, unless tho mine workers bodily
desert the union and belle their present
attitude by returning to work or show
unraistakon signs of weakening.
That the mine workers are not likely
to do either is accepted by those for
whom Baer, Truesdale and Fowler act
as figure-heads, and, to save the com
bination from inevitable dissolution and
unending warfare among coal producers,
concessions have been agreed upon
which will undoubtedly meet with ac
ceptance at the hands of the strikers.
These concessions have not been made
public and are known to but tho very
few who have been Interested lu ar
ranging them. llow stiou or how long
it will be until they are made known
depends upon the attitude maintained
by the miners and smaller operators,
who, at tho present day, are lighting a
common enemy. All that the Tribune
knows Is that they will be announced as
soon as a dignified down-coming from
his pedestal can be arranged for Mr.
Baer.
STATEMENT FOR SENATORS.
A committee from tho Public Allianco
of VVllkosbarre waited on President Mit
chell yosterday afternoon and told him
of their visit to Atlantic City last week
to see Senators Quay and Penrose in the
Interest of a settlement of tho miners'
strike by arbitration. Mr. Mitchell was
Interested in what the committee told
him and inquired as to what position the
two senators intond to take in the mat
tor. Tho committee roplied that before
tho senators make a move they want a
statement from Mr. Mitchell, giving the
minors' side of tho case. Tho chief
oflicor of the union said ho would pre
pare such a statement it once and for
ward it to Senators Quay and Peurose.
Death of Aged Woman.
Mrs. Margaret Keller died yesterday
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wil
liam Stultz, on the Hill, aged 80 years.
For some years past she had been help
less and hor death came as a relief after
much suiTering. More than half a cen
tury ago she took up hor residence at
Eckley. Some years later she removed
to Highland and when the Stultz family
came to Freeland she accompauied
them.
Mrs. Keller Is survived by two sons,
Peter, Highland, and Christian, St.
Clair, Schuylkill county, and by two
daughters, Mrs. William Stultz, Free
land, and Mrs. David Cobb, Texas.
The funeral will take place at 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Services
will be conducted at St. Johu's Reform
ed church by Rev. J. B. Kerschner.
Interment at Freeland cemetery.
Patrick McGuire Arrested.
Patrick Mctiulro, Jr., was arrested at
3 o'clock yesterday morning at his home
in Upper Lehigh. Ho is charged with
being implicated in the atFair at the
HofTman and Betterly homes In that
town some months ago. The arrest
was made by Coal and Iron Policeman
Hampton and Constables Ziegler, of
Hazleton, and Woodrlng, of West
Hazleton. As soon as the arrest was
made McGuire and tho oflicors were
driven to Hazleton, where tho prisoner
was placed in tho city lockup.
McGuire was given a hearing before
Alderman Hoidenrich this afternoon.
He was placed under $1,500 bail on the
charge of riot and SI,OOO on tho charge
of burglary. Bail was furnished by
Denis Boyle, Hazleton.
Still Another Party.
Tho county committee of the VVork
inginen's party on Saturday decided to
place in tho field only candidates for
congress and statu legislature and none
for county offices. There was much dis
cussion over the advisability of leaving
off the county officers. It was finally
decided on as giving bettor opportunities
to elect legislators. A convention date
for each district will be fixed today.
Tho Workingmen's party is a separate
organization from the Socialists, and if
their announced intention to nominate
legislative candidates is carried out
there will be four candidates for state
representative in the Fourth district.

Two Held for Sharpe's Death.
Coroner Behler, of Carbon county,
conducted tho inquest in tho killing of
Patrick Sharpe, the strike leader, by a
mine guard at Nesquehoning Monday
night. Fourteon witnesses were ex
amined and four deputies gave
testimony. Of the seven foreigners who
gave testimony all sworo that Sharpe
made no attempt to strike any of the
guards and that ho was shot without
provocation. Four other men were
positive llarry McElmoyle did tho shoot
log-
Four of the guards testified that
William Ronomus, a guard, aud not-Mc-
Elmoyle, fired the shot that killed
Sharpe. They also swore that Sharpe
had struck Ronomus, and had made the
second attempt t > hit him when the shot
was fired.
After deliberation which lasted two
hours the following verdict was agreed
upon:
"We, the jury, find that Patrick
Sharpo came to his death by the mali
cious act of either Ilenry McElmoyle or
William Ronomus, and wo adviso that
both Henry McElmoyle and William
Ronemus bo held for trial on this
charge."
Many assert tlmt tho vordict Is only
another stop in the plan to set McEl
moyle free without punishment of any
kind. The friends of William Ronomus
say that he will nevor bo convicted.

TRI-WEEKLY
Would Not Insure Him.
Insurance Companies Refused
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 givon up in
despair when some friend recommended
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Itoinedy
and it cured him.
Mr. Yeisley writes:
"My kidneys and liver were in bad
condition and I was anxious for re
lief. I had tried many remedies
without success and when I bought
a bottle of 'Favorite Remedy,'it was
with but little faith in Its ever help
ing me, 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
I 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, avd
blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
chronic constipation, as well as the
weaknesses peculiar to women. It
quickly relieves 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.
All druggists sell Dr. David Kennedy's

Proof That Advertising Pays.
The effectiveness of advertising In tho
Tribuno was again demonstrated on
Friday evening, when tho pair of spec
tacles and the case advertised in that
day's issue were roturned to a rep
resentative of the papor. The findor
was Hugh O'Donnell, Sr., Walnut street,
who promptly delivered tho lost articles
upon reading the notice, and the glasses
woro sent on Saturday to the owner,
Mrs. Patrick lirislin, Upper Lehigh.
There are still souio poople, several
merchants and professional men in
cluded, who say that advertising does
not pay. It is sometimes not an easy
task to prove tho contrary, but instances
like the above are proof positive
that advertising doos and will always
bring returns in Freeland when tho
columns of tho Tribune are used.
