RESTRAINED BY MILITIA.
No Trouliln by Hfrlkrrn ut Ifntettnu A Oaj
of funeral.
ITAzr.r.TOH, Pa., Sept. 1 1. All of tho
Indications last night pointed to a
probable outbreak at the funerals of
ten of tho strikers killed by Sheriff
Martin's deputies Friday and General
(loblu, commander of tho Third bri
gade, now on duty hero, assigned tho
troops to cover ovory section whoro
there was danger of troublo. All sa
loons woro closed and nil passes to
soldiers wero discontinued nnd no ono
wasatloued to leave camp, but all
wero kept under arms.
General Cobln summoned tho Polish
priests and leading forolgners to head
quarters this morning nnd told them
that ho had no objection to funeral
processions, but that under no circum
stances must thcro bo anything about
them In tho naturo of a military pro
cession or a demonstration by largo
numbers, nor could tho marchers carry
Hugs, banners or side arms, or have
music In any form. General Gobin
was very much displeased at tho
parade of uniformed men during yes
terday's funeral, espoelally bcenuso
tome of tlio men carried heavy sabers.
All along the lino of tho funeral
procmlon und In front of tho church
wncro tho s.irvloos wero to bo held
and at tho u .dcrtakers' establish
monti crowds of minors and their
wives began to gather early from nil
the miti ng suburb, while insido tho
edifice there was not nn Inch of space.
Notwithstanding General Gobln's
order a largo party from Hurwood was
headed by a brass bund which was
playing a funeral march, as the brig
ade headquarters was ncared. A big
crowd filled the streets nnd thoro was
a biuz of expectancy) but beforo ttio
headquarters was icaeliod even the
mufiled drum beat had been silenced
and tlio lino moved quietly on to tlio
undertakers shop, whoro lay tho
bodies of tho eight Poles. Tho nar
row lutio upon which this shop fronts
was crowded from curb to curb by
forolgners, but there was not tho
slightest disorder and not a soldier
was in sight. Within lay exposed to
view tho corpses of tho Poles and tho
crowd was permitted to pass In stnglo
tile through the shop.
Outsldo preparations wero mean
while under way for starting tho big
parade. Three bands were in waiting
with the members of St. Joseph's and
Italian Mutual Aid societies wearing
their rogalia. It wat loarnod that tho
order of General Gobin prohibiting
strikers from carrying bands had not
reached these parties from tho priests
and boforo it became known to them
the brigado commander revoked them
and gnvo permission for tho musical
accompaniment. Tho injunction
against tho proposod meeting outsldo
tho church was clearly understood and
It Is unlikely that any attempt will
bo mado to dispute It The miners
seem to bo perfectly doello nnd no
troublo Is anticipated.
Two of the wounded miners died In
the hospital last night, making the
total number of dead now twenty
throe. Several more of tho wounded
ure very low.
It is tho purposo to acquire by sub
scription mifilcient funds to erect over
tho grave of eight of tho dead Poles a
monument bearing tho' names of tho
victims and a brief history of tho
event
Feeling continues high against
Sheriff Martin and his deputies, nnd
tho intensity of tho situation is such
that a sudden turn of tho head or a
word spoken abovo tho ordinary tone
brings a running crowd. The soldiers
aro watchful and ready for any emer
gency, nnd tho people of tho town are
In a stuto which may easily become
panic.
Goneral Gobin talked over tho tele
phone to Governor Hastings for au
hour or more yesterday afternoon.
Ho said ho had merely mado a formal
report to the Oovornor of tho situa
tion. It Is apparent, however, that
tho commander is not chcerod by tho
immediate outlook, nlthough ho says
ho thinks there will bo no further
turbulance. He would not say when
tho troops are likely to bo withdrawn,
and he has resolved to not with tho
utpiost riiror. .
t'lrr-iitiiiii. Pa., Sept. 24. Early this
morning about twenty-five women and
fifty strikers started from tho camp at
Plum creek, led by Einmn Hans, who
lias been dubbed the miners' Joan of
Arc, to try 10 prevent Do Armitt men
from going to work. Some of tho
women carried Infants nnd others pick
handles and clubs. On tho Murrays
vlllo road they encountered a possoof
deputies and wero ordered back to tho
camp.
No attempt wns paid to tho order
and the women tried to force their
way through tho lines of deputies. A
scufilo followed and Kmma Unas and
three other women, who wero In the
lead, wero arrested. Tho moment a
deputy laid hands on a woman he wns
turrounded by others waving clubs
nd using them when the opportunity
iliered. Deputy Wulker was severely
.'lubbeil and S. C. DeArmltt was cut in
in. hiimi. llu says ho was uititukuU
by a woman with a knife.
Tho deputies finally got their pris
oner's into tho company's stablo and
later broutrht them to tills city, whero
they wero lodged In Jail. Twoof thum.

MISUSED A MILLION,

lon llu, llrni Highly llonorc.l.
Washington. Sept. 1.-.. It had been
rumored for some time that thorough
Inspection of the conduct pf the su
pervision of river nnd harbor improve
ments in tho district adjacent to
Savnnnnh, Go., showed, to say tho
least, grois carelessness, and possibly
something worse on tho part of tho
officer lntely in charge of that station.
Earnest efforts wero made to suppress
tho matter, but it Is now certain that
a court martial, within the next few
days, will bo ordered for the trial of
Captain Oberlln M. Carter, at preaent
military attneho of tho United States
embassy in London, on tho chargo of
discrepancies In his accounts nnd mnl
feasance In office, amounting, it Is al
leged at tho war department, to a sum
approximating 81,000,000.
Captain Carter has been ordered by
eablo to return at onc. The Secre
tary of war is now considering the
eomposit'on of the court of thirteen
olliecrs beforo whom ho will be placed
on trial.
Captain Carter has rocclved much
attention in tlio engineer corps and
has hold many responsible positions
during hh service. He is a graduato
of tho military academy of tlio class of
issu and reaohed his captaincy In HOI.
Prior to being detailed as military at
tache at Loudon ho was employed In
numerous positions of responsibility
in connection with river und harbor
improvements. He had high standing
In his corps and was popular with
army ofllecr. When General Miles
assumed command of theiirmy he was
anxious that Captain Carter should be
detailed ns one of his nUlos. but ills
tequest could not bo granted, owing
to circumstances which, in tho opinion
of tho war department, made it im
portant that he should remain lu Sa
vannah, whore large Interests woro
under his control.
At this station, which he left to be
come military attache at tlio American
embassy to tlio court of St. James,
Captain Carter was lu churgo of tho
defenslvo works of the Siivannnh river
und Cumberland sound, Georgia, Flor
ida, and in charge of the Improvement
of tlio harbors at Savannah, Druns
wick and Darien, Gn., Cumberland
sound and tho other rivers adjoining,
and tho inside routo between Savan
nah and Fernaudlna. He had nlso in
charge the suvervislon of tho repairs
to the bridge across the Savannah
river and tho construction of tlio
bridgo across tho Oconee river, Geor
gia, and was also n member of the
board of engineer ollicers to recon
sider tho project for the improvement
of Pensncola harbor in Floridu,
When Captain Carter left Savannah
thero were loud protests from the cit
izens ngninst his change of station,
and complimentary resolutions were
passed on his efficiency while in charge
of defensive nnd public Improvements
at and udjueent'to that point. His
ollcionoy nnd popularity, joined to
some political pull, secured him tho
very desirable detail at tho United
States embassy at London. After
taking station at the Kritish capital
he was nppointed delegate to the in
ternational conference at Stockholm,
held from August ?3 to '' of the pres
ent yenr, and was given the crowning
honor of uppolntmjnt as engineer offi
cer of the Nicaragua cat.al commis
sion, authorised by net of the last Con
gress. Ho is also borne in tlio direc
tory of the war department us a mem
ber of the board of engineer otlicers
to reconsider tho project for the im
provement of Pensacola, Fla.
The amount of tlio alleged embezzle
ment Is so large that It seems Impossi
ble that tlio plea of carelessness can
apply. Whatever tho result uf tho
court may be, it is certain that Captain
Curter's usefulness will bo very seri
ously affected. His replacement as a
member of tho Nienrngua canal com
mission seems curtain.
Army circles familiar with tho
cliarges ure greatly excited over the
promised dovolopments and tlio case
when nil Its details become known
promises to bo ono of tho most sensa
tional in tho annuls of the service.

RIGHT OF REMOVAL WINS.
Important Chit Vrvlm Ono Drcldeil
lllnw for tllt Siil(p.
Wasiiinoton, Sept. i.',. Judgo Coxo
of the supremo court of the district of
Columbia to-day dismissed tho bill of
complaint of John G. Wood, superin
tendent of malls at Louisville, praying
that Postmaster General Gray and
Assistant Postmaster General Heath
bo enjoined from removing him from
otllce.
Tho case had boon considered in tho
nature of a test of tho nower of n-
nioval and the delivery of tho opinion
drew to tlio courtroom many public
officials, including members of tho
civil service commission.
Judge Cove's decision was an elabor
ate review of tho law bearing on re
movals of federal employes. He hold
at tho outset that It was not within
tho power of tlio court of equity to
grnnt relief in matters of appointment
and removal fromolllco. Then taking
up tho merits of tho case, ho stated
that it was a settled luw that the
power of removal was incident to tho
power of nppolntmont, and that both
could be exercised by tho head of a
department lu reference to subord
inate officials.
Concerning tlio civil servlco law,
Judge Cove held that it must not be
construed to grant uuthoritj, either
to tlio civil sorvieo commission or to
tlio President, to make rules contrary
to the law itself, or of a legislative
character. He quoted with approval
tho decision of Justice ltrowor that
Congress could not dolegato Its power
to legislate to any udmlnlstratlvo
body.
The decision sums no as follows:
"I know of nothing inoro important
.o tho interests of tlio country than
the policy which tho civil sorvlco leg
islation was intended to Initiate and
promote, and It Is perhaps a matter of
great regret that the act of January
1U, lriS3 (the civil sorvlco act) hos not
gone further than it does. Hut it is
my duty to construe it as it is.
"To sum up, I concluded that, apart
from the civil servlco act, the post
master general had the authority to
remove the complalnaut from olllco at
his pleasure: that this law makes no
change lu tills ropeet, except to for
bid removals for refusal to contribute
to partisan objects; that the power
given to tho commission and tho pres
ident to establish rules to carry that
act Into effect does not authorize any
rule which shall make a ehango In tho
law in tills respect; and consequently
that, even if this court hud jurisdic
tion in a ease like the presont one, tho
complainant is not entitled to tho re
lief prayed."
It is probable that an appenl will be
taken from the decision and It is suid
that ultimately the United States su
premo court will bo asked to pass
upon tho question Involved.
