MONUY KOR THE MINKRS.
Dr. II. I1. Lcwandonkl of New York , rep
resenting the I'ollsh societies of that city ,
arrived here today. H Is empowered to
assist thn strikers In every possible way ;
to help them to gain their demands from
the operators , and to arrange for the prose
cution of the sheriff and deputies Later In
the day ho slid he had received word that
a check for $1,000 from the National I'ollsh
alliance , which recently mot In Philadel
phia , hns been sent on for the aid of the
miners , and that ho has promises of addi
tional largo BUbscilptlons from N&w York
and other cities. There arc 12000 Potca In
the United States A number of Polish
priests from New York , IluffRlo and other
places arc expected to arrlvo tomorrow.
Dr. Thoiodovltch , secretary at the Austrian
consulate at Philadelphia. Is participating In
a meeting tonight , considering methods of
prosecuting the deputies. Ho obtained atll-
davits from a number of the miners who were
In Friday afternoon's affair which throw new
lighten the shooting. They declare , In sub-
ntanco. that on the morning of that day .1
inwscngcr arrived nt Harwood nnd asked
the foreigners to como to Latlmor , as the
cmplojcs of Colliery No 1 at that place wcro
nbout to Etrlke. Later a second message to
the same effect arrived and then the men
started over to Latltncr. At Hazlo col
liery , so the affidavits continue , Sheriff Mar
tin met them and warned them not to go
through Hazlcton , hut to go around the
other way. They did so , but arriving ot the
fatal bend In the road near Latlmcr , they
again fonnd themselves confronted by the
sheriff , this tlino backed up by the army of
deputies As soon as they reached the spot ,
it Is declared. Sheriff Martin stepped out and
roughly grabbed the foremost rran by his
coat col ! 7 With his other hand ho thrust
A revolver Into his face ami used abusive
language. The miner knocked the sheriff's
revolver arm from In front of him and tried
to wrench himself from the ofllcial's grasp.
Almost Instantly , the affidavit fays , the order
to flro was given The deputies \verp lined
up In a hollow square , the fourth sldo of
which was formed by the body of strikers
This would possibly account for the fact
that so many were shot In the back and side.
SOBNnS AT THE rUXERALS.
The funerals today made a spectacle of
tragedy that , humble as were the accessories ,
had In It something that was almost sub
lime. Huta and Ulrlch had lived In Harwood
end Yurrek In humboldt , but when.the pro
cession was started the latter party Joined
the others and the cortege wound Its way
through the mountain passes , ove- the dusty
lanes Into Hazleton and then Into St. Jo
seph's church on the auttMrtu , where rather
Aust and Rev. Dr. Hauser held brief ser
vices At the head of the line there was a
tirass bind plavlng the Dead March with
mufficd drums A heavy mist had crept over
the hills , a chill drizzle of rain was falling
and the scene backed by the line of hills
and looming ccal Ireakers was weird and
jrloomy. There wore but a fen carriages ,
but nearly 1,000 men wore In line at one tlmo
, - or another , nnd most of them continued until
| | " " " - - the end Alter the first hearse , which was
a white one , containing the body of young
Kuta. came a closed catrlaqc with a man ,
two women and two babies , rive little ones ,
none apparently moro than 6 or 7
vpars old wo-o crpwded Into the next with
two men. On either slUe ot the hearse three
of the dead man's former companions walked
vlth Inwed heads. Tho.same detail was ob
served with the other hearses , and after a
dorcn carriages and grocery and beer -wagons ,
loaflcd with'Hungarian women , came the long
line of walking men and boys , marching
slowly In doublefile. . The members of St.
Joseph's society were follov.ce ! by those o'
Socleta Italla-Americano dl Mutuo Soclomo
Fondata , whose badges bore the words "In
mrmorlam. "
All thcso men wore the regalia of their or-
Knnlzatlons , red , white and blue suits , with
bandages of crape pinned on their breasts
and with a man In the center bearing a huge
flag draped so completclj In crape that Its
nationality could not be seen. The balance
of the line was made up of grimy mine
workers , dressed In their best clothes. The
services over the body ot Mike Chcslok were
held at Haiwood , where It was burled. The
coffin laj In the lower room of the old frame
shanty , the bare beams of the ceiling pro
truding above and the whole place wreaking
of poverty and misery. The coffin waa
draped In n white sheet and at Its head two
candles burned , liutwecn them rested a
crnclllx. The funeral expenses are all paid
from the funds of the benevolent societies
named.
MINUiaS USR VIOLENCE.
Stories of violence on the part of the
strikers long before the outbreak of Friday
nro coming to light. It Is said that In tholr
marches from mlno to mine they used brute
force to make Individual workers join tholr
ranks. Rev Dr David H. Shields , an as
signed appointee of President Mr-Klnley to a
chaplalnxhlp In the army , said that aa early
as Tuesday of last week thla had gene so far
that the pcoplo became frightened. IJy
Thursday terror was In- the air and many
persons were buying firearms and hiding
ammunition In their houses. Dr , Shields ,
himself ono of the most conspicuous advo
cates of peaceful measures In the emergency.
Raid hu advised asking for state troops In
the early part of the week Ho spoke In a
big tent at Hazlo park , where some of tlio
Tiillltla are Htatloncd , this afternoon , he
took no issue hut declared that the tragedy
l\as been approaching for four year ? . Doth
sMea were to blame , lit his opinion , ho after
ward remarked , the operators In steadily re
ducing wages and refusing to meet miners
tommlttceK , thus leaving nothing for the
in on hut the marching : and the miners , In
going on strike , as they often had over
trivial causes , such as the discharge of a
jnulo driver for neglect of his work.
In the qlllce of the Lehlgh Traction ; com
pany Is a brown cutaway coat , which one. of
the men , now dead , wore on Friday last
There- are three bullet hales In It , ono
through the front , ono through an arm and
the third through the tails In an Inside
pocket was found a cheap nickel 3.J-callbro
"bulldog" revolver. This had not been used
In thu riot , becanao the chambers contained
neither empty nor loaded shells and It could
not ha\e been fired before the man waa shot ,
because be would li.ivo had no time to un
load It. It Is established that this was the
only weapon contained In the whole mob of
minors , nnd the conditions ludlcato tint the
first shot could not havn como from their
aldo. There were three companies of deputies
and one of thcso made up of men who liavo
served as mlno police In the past , had had
much trouble with the strikers on previous
occasions and were said to belu revengeful
mood agalnfat them.
Rumors ( low thick and fast today , There
waa ono In the morning that a deputy' * body
Imd been found In the woods ana another
tn the afternoon that a soldier had been shot.
It was also whispered that Governor Hasting *
liad arrived by special train and wm clotjef.d
with General Gobln. All proved baseless ,
the latter arising from tnu arrival ot Colonul
"Wilbur of the Lehlgh Valley railroad , who
conferred with the brigade commander , butte
to what effect could not be leained. All was
quiet In the camp througnoul the day , sev

, Pa , . Sept. 12. The Pitts-
burg district coal operators bcllcvo that this
week will flnJ many mines In this region
In full operation and to further this belief
the majority ot the mine owners have an
nounced that their pita will open In the
morning In readiness for all of their men
who may wish to Ignore lha ton-day proviso
vise ot the Columbus settlement. U Is be
lieved that many of the strikers will take
advantage of the opportunity.
Secretary Warner of the Minors' associa
tion saja the Columbus agreement will bo
strictly adhered to. It Is not believed that
the officials ot the district will raise their
hands to stop the men from going to work
Immediately.
A district convention ot the miners has
been called for Wednesday morning at which
"matters ot ifrcat Importance ore to b
discussed , " The convention Is presumably
called to devlae ways and means for con
tinuing the fight against such firms as will
refuse to pay the district price and It Is
thought the advlsiblllty of breaking the ten
dais' proviso nnd returning to work at once
will bo acted on.
The Plttsburg operators arc discussing an
offer they Intend < o make to thi > men , offerIng -
Ing thum Inducements to break away from
the national oiganlzatlon and form an asso
ciation ttaklng In only this district , the Idea
being to fight the Ohio and western districts.
1C Is known the New York & . Cleveland Gas
Coal company has had erected close to Its
Sandy Crerk mine a temporary boarding
house for the purpose. It was supposed , of
housing Imported workmen. Tonight It said
many ot the old men ale sheltered In the
house and ordered to go to work In the
morning. The district officials are hastily
arranging for a special demonstiatlon In the
morning In order to , If possible , prevent the
threatened stampede.

nor has requested the major general to re
main here over tomorro-w In case of an emer
gency requiring his presence.
Generals Snovvden and Stewart may visit
the soldiers' camp after the funerals. Gen
eral Snovvden Is so well pleased with the ad
mirable manner in which the troops arc be
ing handled by General Gobln that he will
not Interfere with his plans General Stewart
received from camp today a blue print showIng -
Ing the location of the troops. At the same
tlmo he received a telegram from General
Gobln stating that the troops are well quar
tered and have plenty of supplies. The gen
eral also telegraphed that there was no
trouble and he did not look for any out
break.
General Gobln will keep a close watph on
the funerals and will prepare to suppress
any disorders. Should the miners and opera
tor's adjust their differences at Tuesday's
conference the troops , with the exception of
a battalion of Infantry and a troop of
cavalry , will bo withdrawn. The first brigade
Is still held In readiness , but It is thought
hero that all danger of another outbreak U

LONDON , Sept. 13. The Times In a spe
cial article on the Hazlcton catastrophe asks
whethei history Is going to repeat Itself In
a duplication of the Plttsburg riots of 18T7.
It recounts the horrlblo "Molly Magulro"
scenes witnessed In that year , and gives a
general history of thu strikes that have
taken place In that region , testifying to the
besotted brutality and Ignorance ot the
miners. The Times adds : "Had the sheriff
shown a moment of weakness1 the miners
would probably have hammered him and hla
posao to death In ten minutes and would
then have begun murdering and pillaging
right and left. "
The Dally Mall says editorially this morn
ing : "Them Is no necessity for America to
fight Spain after all. An outlet far her
fighting energy Is provided by theIndlhcreet
vigor of a Pennsylvania sheriff. The Euro
pean governments whoso kubjects are among
the victims of tbo massacre at Hazlet-m wl
unquestionably demand reparation. "

PAWNEE CITY , Neb , Sept. 12 A writer
In the Pawnee Republican tells a charac
teristic stcry of conversion from Hryanlsm
that came to notice hero the other day.
Going through the court house square a
well known and quite thrifty farmer com
menced to smllo nnd hold out his hand for
a shako. It was such a. vigorous , old-fash
ioned , glad handshake that there was evi
dently something back of It. "Well , " said
ho , "I have sold part ot my wheat. Had
sixty acres this year and It went thirty-
two bushels. I have just sold 1,250 bushels
and got money enough for It to pay oft thn
(1,000 mortgage on my farm , principal and
Interest , anil have about 700 bushels loft.
Last fall I felt pretty blue. I raised over
3,000 bushels of corn nnd when I got ready
to sell It they would not agree to pay moro
than S cents a bushel. Had about 400 bush
els of wheat and sold what I could spare
of It for 33 cents I got pretty grumpy and
the free silver fellows talked so much about
what free coinage would do for silver and
wheat nnd ever } thing elsa and got mo rat
tled , and , to tell the truth , I went off and
voted for Uryan and free silver , but If the
good Lord will forgive mo I will never be
such a blamed fool again. Confound It ! I
know wo alwajs had good times when the
republican party was In power and I knew ,
too , that the pop Ideas were a humbug and
their leaders ti lot cf sorehead ofllceseckers
and rattle-brained adventurers , but I thought
there might bo something In that notion
that silver and wheit had nlwajs gone up
and down together , and I thought I would
try It anyway. Hereafter you can count n
mo to stick to tha republican party , no mat
ter what happens , nor what anybody may
say. I always did think It was the best
party and never really Intended to leave It ,
but I Just got weary and rattled and made
a fool of myself. "

as tha hot weather drew on ho suffered
rolapso. Last Tuesday his throat bt'gan to
bo Inflamed nnd slgna of blood poisoning
sot In This pissed Into lockjaw and ho
died In sreat agony at the time silted. Thw
rcnnlns wcro removed to the undertaking
establishment ot 11. L. Burkot. whcro the
coroner took charge-
Durwell was still in Ignorance of the fate
ot his \lctlm , whllo hoping for his speedy
recovery , In his cell nt the county Jail.
Shortly before I ! o'clock ho wan summoned
by Jailer Shaml Into the Jail otllce and ap
prised ot Ilojce's death. A deathly pallor
overspread hla face at the announcement ot
the unwelcome news. Ills hands trembled
and he sank Into < i chair.
"I don't believe It. " ho Anally managed
to say , "Cass dead ? You are not telling
me the truth. Poor boj 1 Poor boy ! I did
not think It would como to this. " When
assured that such was the fact ho started
Into a rambling talk about the shooting.
"I was drunk whoti I did It. I remember
of scuttling with him , but do not recollect
firing the shot until after ho lay on tha
floor. 1 was seated then and ran from Iho
I house In order to call a doctor. Then I got
| drunk again and don't remember an j thing
moro until I was talking to the ofllcors at
the station , 1 have hoped all along that
he would get wull. The doctors teld us U
111 at that he would. I Know that If ho had
ho would never havetes'llled against mo.
Wo were nlnajH the best of frlenda Last
June , when he came to my house , lu- feared
the pollco wcie after him for a robbery
which ho swore to me ho was never guilty
of I took him In and as hu was handy
about the place we lived together from that
tlmo on without a bit of trouble Toward
the last 1 suspected he paid too much at
tention to .Mrs Hurwell. but I never spoke
to him about It. I did talk to my wlfo
about It though , but she denied It.
NHU'S ALARMS I1URWULL.
"My wife hus been calling at the Jail
since I have been here nnd has told ma
how Ilo > cc was getting along. Last Wcdnos-
daj she seemed worried and when I asked
her the matter she told me that Cass was
wonse. I did not think much of It at that
lime. I supposed she was only trying to
worry mo. As God Is my Judge. I never In
tended tu kill him. 1 was drunk when 1 did
U. I tell you , aad they can't Inng nn In
nocent man. "
When told that the crime would piobably
bo ono of manslaughter , punishable by Im
prisonment , Uurncll appcarel much relieved.
Ho thou inquired for an attorney and asked
that ho call at the Jill , lie- was then bcnj
