of Strikers Shot
Bhcnnndoah , Pu. , July 31. A reign
or terror , compared with which the
scenes enacted during the riots of
UBOO BOCIU insignificant , holds Shcuan-
doah In Its grasp. Last night Center
ctrcut , which la QUO of the principal
triMita of the town , was In the hands
of nil Infuriated mob. Two of Uio
liorough policemen were shot , ono per-
Imps fntnlly. JoBoph Doddall , a lend *
Ing merchant and cousin of Sheriff
Bcddn.il , was clubbed to death and up-
iwards of a score of strikers wcro shot
by policemen , and It Is expected that
many deaths will result. Sheriff Bed-
dall arrived from Pottsvlllo with a
IKJBBO of deputies. Ho has taken up
tils headquarters at the Ferguson ho
tel. To an Associated ntfW reporter
lie stated thnt ho had askefl Qovcrnor
Btouo to Hond the militia. The gov

tlio town petition for troops ho would
end them. A petition Is being cir
culated for that purpose now. It Is
Almost certain that the troops will bo
licro today.
Origin of the Trouble.
The trouble started about C o'clock
last evening when Deputy Sheriff T.
Uoddall attempted to escort two non
union workers through the strikers'
aino of pickets. The workmen wcro
dressed In their street clothes , but
ono of thorn carried a bundle under
tils arm and this aroused the sus
picion of the strikers. The bundle
was torn from him and when it was
found to contain a blouse and over-
nils the man was taken from the dep
uty and beaten almost to death. In
the meantime Uoddall opened fire on
the mob which had gathered and
emptied his revolver. Two of the
ehots took effect , ono man being shot
In the leg and the other In the foot.
The deputy and the other strike
Ircakor were now compelled to fly for
their livco and took refuge In the
( Reading railroad depot. The depot
was also surrounded by an angry
snob of 5,000 , which was becoming
more threatening .and demonstrative
every moment. Joseph Dcddall , a
tianlwaro merchant and brother of
the deputy sheriff , was seen making
Jils way through the crowd in an ef
fort to reach his brother , and the mob
Relieving that ho was carrying am
munition to' those Inside the depot
eolzed him and beat him with clubs
cvnd billies into Insensibility. Ho died
en route to the Miners' hospital ,
. Police Put to Flight
Shortly after this the cntlro borough
police force arrived on the scenu and
escorted the deputy sheriff and his
-man to an englno which had been
"backed Into the depot for that pur
pose. When the mob realized thnt
their prey was about to escape , they
surrounded the engine and the engl
ncer was afraid to move. In a few
moments , however , the police flred a
volley , dispersing the crowd for a
brief period , and the engineer turned
on full steam and got away. Stone :
tvero thrown thick and fast about the
beads of the police , whereupon Chief
Sohn Fry gave the order to flre. A
the first volley the mob fell back end
coveral were seen to fall. The retreat ,
however , was but momentary. They
turned and , with revolvers , stones and
even a few shotguns , charged on the
little band of policemen and made
them fly for their lives. The police
men turned 'in their flight at short
intervals and flred volley after volley
tit their merciless pursuers , but the
mob seemed thoroughly infuriated
and revolvers seemed to have no ter
rors for them. When the Lehlgh rail
road crossing was reached a passing
freight train blocked the progress o
the police , two of whom were caugb
and brutally beaten. One of them
BUney Yacopsky , will die. It in estl
mated that upwards of 1,000 shot
were flred and the wpnder is tha
more fatalities did not result Mor
than twenty strikers , all foreigners
were shot and at least two of them
. will die.
The doctors of the town dressed th
Trounds of nearly forty strikers , all o
vrhom were foreigners , whoso name ;
could not be ascertained. It Is sal
that four of the six policemen wer
ehot Chief Fry received a align
wound in the hand. Yacopsky was
ehot in the neck and may die ; Rln ?

not serious ; Lauritas was shot in BCV <

STEEPLE CLIMBING. ?
It I * n Dark a * Well nil a Danareron *
Da luc * .
Stcvple climbing is in truth "dark
business , " says the Boston Transcript
for it is the custom of experts to make
the first ascent and place the rigging
at night Then , when the townspeople
wake , they are amazed at flnd.ng the
the steeple conquered. The man who
makes a success of steeple climbing
must bo determined , persistent nn 3
Ingenious. He must solve many a
practical problem in hoisting great
bodies aloft He must know how to
fasten a hook over the top of a skyscraping -
scraping chimney. He must have the
nerve to paint a steeple that sways
like a pendulum at the slender top
He must be able to tear down , build
up , gild , paint place electric wires and
do many another task that would be a
problem on the solid earth.
There are many ways of getting up
n steeple , and when all others fall the
man will tie-a rope round it nnd then ,
with a coil on bis back , walk rounc
and round It until the entire steeple Is
covered with rope and he has probably
been round It fully 800 times.
But a steeple is not the most difficult
height to climb. Straight tall chlm
neys are the hardest of all. There n
man bos to work with might and main
to lift himself inch by Inch from the
ground to the top. Sometimes the top
Is 800 feet high. When It is reached
a hook is placed over the edge , a pul
ley is made fast the swinging chair Is
hauled up nnd work begins.
When the chair is near the top , It Is
easier to work , because the ropes an
short ; but when they lengthen , as the
ground Is approached , there is n tend
ency to swing , nnd the wind glvei
impetus.
The man's safety depends upon thi
book , and until he has raisedthlmsel
almost to the top It is Impossible fo
him to see whether or not the hook
has been properly adjusted. More than
once u steeple climber has seen when
within ten feet of the top that corro
eion of the iron and the collection o
Boot have so thickened the wall tba
the hook Is merely balancing on th
top , so that the slightest pull In th
wrong direction would drag it off
Again , the bricks are often loose a
the top , and the book is likely to tea
them away.
One of the natural difficulties to con
quer Is the swaying of all high stee
pies and chimneys. In n gale a stce

Mourners of Late Rabbi Joseph
Resent Acts of Disturbers.
TURN HOSE ON THE PROCESSION
Workmen In New York Factory Throw
Missiles Upon Mourners Police are
Forced to Interfere and Broken
Heads and Many Arrests Result
New York , July 31. The funeral of
ho late chief rabbi , Jacob Joseph ,
lead of the Orthodox Hebrews of the
United States , which was held here
yesterday , was the occasion of one of
the most remarkable demonstrations
ever witnessed In this city and led to
collision between the mosses of Jew-
sh mourners and the police. The
streets were packed with thousands
of Hebrews , the stores were generally
losed and every point of vantage
along the route taken by the funeral
procession to the different synagogues
was crowded.
When the procession was passing
he printing press factory of R. Hoe
& Co. , on Grand street , the employes
of the factory emptied palls of water
rom the windows of on upper floor
onto the spectators massed upon the
sidewalk. Pall after pall was emptied
on the throng , which shouted and
struggled and stampeded in vain to
escape. Then overalls and clothing
soaked In water came down from
above , and even tools , scraps of steel ,
jolts and a dead cat
The angry populace , most of whom
were Hebrews , retaliated by throwing
back Into the factory windows the
missiles that fell on them. They
also gathered up stones nnd sticks
and in a few minutes there was
scarcely a whole pane of gloss on the
Grand street side of the factory.
Then some one in the factory turned
on a hose and played it indiscrimi
nately at the funeral procession. At
one time as many as five streams
were ploying on the crowd. Drivers
of mourning carriages whipped up
their horses , trampling over citizens
and the stronger men trampled worn
en and children under foot in their
efforts to escape.
The police in the meantime had
taken a hand In the trouble and were
clubbing the people right and left. A
number of arrests were made.
Many persons were found about
the streets bleeding from wounds on
their heads and other ports of their
bodies. Ambulances had been sum
moned in the meantime and three re
sponded. The surgeons were kept
busy for some time dressing the
wounds of the injured. Several police
men also were injured , receiving cuts
and bruises. Dad feeling is said to
exist between some of the employes ol
the Hoe company and the Hebrews re
siding in the neighborhood and this
is sold to have been the cause of the
trouble.
After the riot had been quelled the
funeral procession proceeded to Brook
lyn , where the body of Rabbi Joseph
was Interred. The funeral procession
did not reach the cemetery , however ,
without Incident As it passed through
a Brooklyn street some one threw a
heavy block of wood from the roof ot
a building into the line of mourners.
The latter broke through the police
lines and tried to get Into the build
ing. Threats of clubbing by the po
lice finally restored order.
Forty thousand people were crowd'
ed in and about the cemetery at Cy
press Hills in an attempt to witness
the services at the grave.

Warships at Mercy of Americans.
Washington , July 31. A new time
fuse , for use on armor-piercing shelU
loaded with a recently discovered se
cret explosive of great power , has

the new explosive has been conducted
with eminent success at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds , that the afiell
