of the Riot Act.
HAZELTON, Pa., Sept. 10.— The strike
situation reached a terrible crisis on
the outskirts of Latimer this afternoon
when a band of deputy sheriffs fired into
& mob of miners. The men fell like so
many sheep, and the excitement has been
so intense tbat no accurate figures of dead
ana wounded can be obtained. Reports
run from fifteen to twenty killed and forty
or more wounded. One man, who reached
the scene to-night, counted thirteen
corpses. Four other bodies lie in the
mountains between Latimer and Har
leigh. Those who were not injured car
ried their dead and wounded frienas into
the woods, and estimates are baffled.
Some of those known to be dead are:
Mike Chenloll, Harwood.
Frank CIIEKA, Harwood.
John Stan-ska, Crystal Ridge,
George Kulick, Harwood
Steve Hoekick, Harwood. .
Among tbe injured are:
George Krese, Harwood, bullets through
leg, hip and knee.
John Iverlovich, shot in nect.
Andrew Rbabollcfr, shot in breast.
John Kulech, shot in stomach.
JohnJDamensko, shot in both legs.
George Vreichek, shot in both legs.
John Forti. shot in head, and will die.
John Kleshok, shot in hip.
Kasimir Dal is, shot in breast.
Jacob Kuishot, shot through body, and
will die.
Steve Ersku, shot in boay.
John Koli, shot in arm and left side.
Joseph Bobick, shot through back.
John Treible, a deputy, shot in arm.
Three bodies were found to-night on the
road near Latimer.
The strikers left Hnzellon at about 3:30 !
o'clock this afternoon, and it was their in- j
tention to go to Latimer. As soon as this
became known a band of deputies was (
loaded on a trolley-car and went whirling
across the mountain to the scene where
the bloody conflict followed. After reach
ing Latimer they left the car and formed
into three companies, under Thomas Hall, |
E. A. Hess and Samuel B. Trice. They !
drew up in line at the edge of the village, ]
with a fence and a line of houses in their j
rear.
bheriff Martin was in entire command j
and stood in the front of tbe line |
until the strikers approached. They j
were seen coming across the ridge and
Martin went out to meet tt em. The men '
drew up suddenly and listened in silence j
until he had once more read the riot act. j
This finished, a low muttering arose !
among the foreigners and there was a j
slight movement in the mob Perceiving}
this, the Sheriff stepped forward toward j
them and in a determined tone forbade •
advance. Some one struck the Sheriff, |
and the next moment there wa3 a com- \
mand to the deputies to fire.
The guns of the deputies instantly
belched forth a terrible volley. The report
seemed to shake the very mountains and
a cry of dismay went up from the people.
The strikers were taken entirely by sur
prise, and as the men toppled and fell
over each other, those who remained un
hurt stampeded. The men went down
before the storm of bullets like ten-pins,
and the groans of the dying and wounded
filled the air.
The deputies seemed to be terror-stricken
at the deadly execution of their guns, and,
peeing the living strikers fleeing like wild
and others dropping to the earth, they
went to tbe aid of the unfortunates whom
they had brought down.
The people of Latimer rushed pellmell
to the scene, but the shrieks of the
wounded dro vned the cries of the sympa
thizing and half-crazed inhabitants. A
reporter who soon afterward reached the
f-cene found the road leading to Latimer
filled with groups of frightened Hun
garians. Some surrounded dying com
panions, and others, fearlul of pursuit,
clung to the newcomer and begged hi*
protection.
At Farley's hotel there were two men
lying on the porch. Both had been shot
in the head. One Bad lhree bullets in
him. His groans and appeals for a doctor
or death were heartrending.
All alon; the road the wounded men
who were able to leave the field of battle
scattered themselves and sought the shade
of trees for protection, but there was no
need of that then. Approaching the place
where the shooting occurred people were
met wringing their hands and bemoaning
the catastrophe. . They could not talk in
telligently, and it was with the greatest
difficulty tbat any information could be
gleaned.
Along the bank of the trolley road men
lay in every position, some dead, others
dying. Three bodies face downward lay
along the incline, and others were but a
short distance away.
On the other side of the road as many
moro of the bodies lay. . The schoolhouse
was transformed into a temporary hos
pital and some of the wounded were taken
there. The colliery ambulance was sum
moned to the place &a soon as possible,
-
and upon its arrival two men, both shot
through the legs, were loaded into tbe
wagon. Ail along the hillside wounded
men were found, on tne roadside and in
the fields. Many miners who had been
carried to a distance could not be found.
As soon as the news of the shooting
reached Hazelton there as consterna
tion. Within ten minutes the streets
were blocked with excited people. The
Lehigh Traction Company immediately
started a number of extra cars on the
Latimer line and .doctors and clergymen
responded promptly. The rush of people
to Latimer was so great that the passage
of vehicles along the road was impaired.
During the excitement the deputies
turned their attention to the wounded and
carried many of them to places where
they could be more comfortably treated.
Martin Roski, an intelligent Hungarian,
from Mount Pleasant, who was shot in
the arm, was seen by a reporter and gave
this version of the affair:
"We were going along the road to Lati
mer, and the deputies were lined across
the road, barring our passage. We tried
to get through them and did not attempt
to hit or molest them, when they fired
upon ns. We ran, but they kept on shoot
ing at us while we ran. It was all their
iault."
Citizens' meetings were held at various
parts of the city to-night. Opinion was
divided about the rest>on.*ibi ity for the
shooting. At one meeting, held in Van
Wyckle's Casino, attended by banker?,
coal operators and prominent men, reso
lutions were adopted calling on Governor
Hasting) to send the militia here imme
diately. At another ma«s-meetine at
tended by thousands of people the sen
ment was against bringing tho troops
here, and it is asserted by those that there
will be no necessity for having the depu
ties here.
SHEBIFF MAHTIS'S SIORX.
Claim* He Rim Attacked, but Bears So
JSark* of Violence.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. Sher
iff Martin arrived home on the 7 o'clock
train from Hazalton. He was cool and
collected. He was met at the train by his
legal adviser. The two got into a cab and
; drove 10 the Courthouse, where they were
; closeted together for some time. The Sher
iff was reluctant to say whether he had
given the command to fire, but afterward
admitted that he had. The Sheriff's de
tailed statement is as follows:
turned that he had. The Sheriff's de
ed statement is as follows:
"I heard eariy this morning that strik
ers were going to the Breaker at Latimer
and compel the men there to quit work.
I resolved to intercept them and, if pos
sible, prevent them from reaching the
Breaker. One of my deputies told mo
that the strikers would be probably
heavily armed. I got my deputie , seventy
in number, to meet at a certain place.
They were all armed. I told them to keep
cool under all circumstances.
"The trouble began at 3 o'clock. I met
tbo marching; column. I baited them
and read the proclamation. They retused
to pay any attention and resumed their
march. Then I called to the leader to
stop. He ignored my order. I then at
tempted to arrest him. The strikers
closed in on me. They acted very viciously,
kicking me, knocking me down and
trampling upon me. I called upon mv
deputies to aid me and they did so, but
they were unab'e to accomplish ranch.
"I realized that something had to be
done at once or I would be killed. I
called to the deputies to discharge their
firearms into the air over the beads of the
strikers, as it might possibly frighten
them. It was done at once, but it had no
effect whatever on the infuriated foreign
ers, who only used me so much rougher
and became fiercer and fiercer. They. were
more like wild beasts than human beings.
"The strikers then made a still bolder
move and attempted to surround my
entire force of deputies.
"I realized that the foreigners were a
desperate lot, and valued lifeataverv
small figure. I saw that parleying with
such a gang of in.uriated men was entirely
out of the question, as they were too ex
cited to listen to reason, and that myself
and my deputies would he killed if we
were not rescued or if we did not defend
ourselves. I then called upon the dep
uties to defend themselves, and shoot if
they must to protect our lives or to pro
tect the property that they had been sent
to guard.
'The next second there were a few scat
tered shots fired into the foreigners, and
a moment later the entire force of depu
ties discharged a solid volley into the
crowd. I hated to give the command to
shoot and was awful sorry that I was com
pelled to do >o, but I was there to do my
duty and I did it as I best knew how ana
as my conscience dictated, as the strikers
were violating the laws of the common
wealth and flatly refused to obey the
proclamation tbat I read to them. They
insisted on doing violence and disobey.ng
the laws.
Rsted on doing violence and disobey. ng
laws.
"The entire crowd of foreigners, as soon
as he volley had been fired by my depu
ties, turned and started to retreat. They
rush d off in all directions as fast as they
could, taking as many of their dead and
wounded with them as they were able to
carry. The excitement at the time was
timply terrible, and I would not go

tnrough another ordeal of the kind for a
fortune."
In another interview Sheriff Martin was
asked:
"When you met the men were they on
company grounds or the public road?"
He replied: "No, they were on the pub
lic road."
"Wore they marching toward Lati
mer?"
"Yes."
"Had they, up to that time, committed
any overt act or acted otherwise than
peaceably?"
"No."
"Why, then, did you order the deputies
to fire?'
"I did not order the deputies to fire.
Some one else did that. First, a single
shot and then a volley. I gave no order."
"How many were killed? '
"There were twelve dead when I left,
and about forty wounded."
"Were any of your men hurt?"
"One of my deputies was shot through
the arm."
Sber.ff Martin, when ho reached Wilkes
barre, was badly scared. Though he claims
to have been brutally assaulted ho did not
have a mark on his person to show he had
been roughly handled. All classes of citi
zens in this city and county uni'.e in con
demning Sheriff Martin's hasty action.

All the Poison lias Evaporated From
the Charles IX Missal.
NEW YORK, N. V., Sept, 10.—
Journal and Advertiser prints the follow
ing: Charles IX's missal, the vellum
leaves of whicn had been dipped in a
poison as terrible as the one which the
Borgias kept in sealed rings, was sold by
a book-seller of New York a lew days ago
to a book-lover, who is also an expert in
poisons. He has analyzed the vellum
pages one by one, and says there is no
poison in the leaves of the missal.
It must have evaporated in the centu
ries, for Cnarle3 IX, who was King of
France from 1560 to 1574, received, accord
ing to the chroniclers, a missal which was
poisoned, a short time after be had given
the signal for the massacre of the Hugue
nots, and it was this missal he had been
reading at a mass in the chapel of the
Lo uvre tbe day before his death.
He died of remorse, the historians say,
but remorse was often a euphemism fbi
poison in those days.

SACRAMENTO. Cal , Sept. 10.—Reins
man Tommy Keating, driver of the pacing
phenom Searchlight, put in quite a
profitable day of it at Agricultural Park
with his white satin jacket and blue cap.
In demeanor he is quite unostentatious,
but as winter draws nigh there are al
ways several cords of wood piled in the
shed, that he had sawed during the sum
mer months.
In the 3:17 trot this afternoon beheld
tho ribbons over Antrima, a black marc
owned by Higgina Bros, of Montana, and
she made but three trips around the circle
to annex the purse. Before the first heat
was trottea, the mare sold in the field, Dr.
Leek being a top-heavy favorite.
In the 2:15 pace Keating toofe the
blanket off the stately looking Anaconda,
and he, too, won in straight heats, ruling
a strong favorite in the betting.
Belies the two events mentioned a stake
valued at $585 for two-year-o'.d pacers was
decided, and another big crowd filled the
grand stand and letting ring.
The wagering was lively enough for this
year, but it will have to go down in turf
annals as a very slumpy year. It was
thought by the knowing ones that Klata
wah, from the Oakwood stock farm, was
aood enough to beat "most anybody's
hoss" in the 2:30 pacing stake lor two
year-olds, but he ran up against the inev
itable.
Selling in the pools for $20 against $10
for Diawood and $3 for the field, he was
shown the way around the course in two
straight heats* by Diawood, a sturdy-look
ing chestnut young ter by Diablo, which
seemed to know nothing but to get to the
wire first.
The second heat was rattled off in 2:22%.
Sable La Grande took third money, hut
Esther C and Dictatress, novitiates, had
the red bun tint- waved in their faces.
An early freight must have brought in
several fresh bank rolls, for the netting on
the 2:17 trot was truly invigorating. The
field was a large one, eleven scoring for
the word. The opening pools saw Dr.
Leek bringing $20, the field $3 and Mar
garet Worth $4.
For the first heat Iran A.to drew the
pole, which he managed to hold to the
naif and then stepped ou a tack. . Keating
here sent Antrima to the front ana, easily
maintaining the lead, won the heat easily
from May Bin 2:16%.
The start for this neat was not one of
Mr. Covey's happiest. Dr. Leek, unsteady
at best, and Margaret Worth being sent
away :•. length behind the leaders. It
would seem that a favorite were entitled
to more protection than this. ...
Although the Doctor did nothing that
would encourage bis followers, he still
brought $18 in the pools sold before the
second heat, against $20 lor Antrim- and
$sforthe field.
Keating, behind bis black mare, laid
_way back of Margaret and Iran Alto in
the second heat to the half, where Iran
Alto again went into the air. Straight
ened away for tho wire Antrima easily
outfooted Margaret, placing the heat to
her credit in 2:15%.
After this Antrima brought $20 with the
entire field bunched in slight demand for
$3. In tho third and deciding heat Keat
ing again allowed Margaret Wortu to
show tne way to the stretch, where
he called on Antrima, and, drawing
ahead, the mare won with a little to
spire, two lengths before Dr. Leek, which,
st-nt away to a break, trotted a great heat.
He broke, though, at the paddock, and
was placed third for this breach of turf
etiquette.
By trottin. second, third and eighth,
respectively, In the different heats, May
B. driven by Van Bokkellen, earned sec
ond, and Daisy Wood, handled byMaben,
third money.
The 2:14 pace looked a gift for Ana
conda, and but few nad tbe temerity to
bet against him. getting toe entire field
for $10 against $40 for the favorite.
It was no contest at all. Anaconda step
pine off three straight hsats in 2:14,
2:11% and 2:11%, like breaking stick*.

DISTRESS AT
OCEAN SPRINGS
Many Persons in Need
of Medicines and
Provisions.
The Situation in the Town of
Biloxi Seems to Be Grow
ing Worse.
Health Officials Doing All In Their
Power to Check the Fever's
Spread.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept 10.— The
announcement of twelve suspicious cases
in one square in the city, and that three
cases had developed since the death of a
young lady who had come from Ocean
Springs, created a large measure of alarm
in the public mind early in the day, but
this was allayed when the facts became
known. ,
It developed that a man had died as the
result of excessive dissipation instead of
yeliow fever, as report in the very square
in which the suspicious cases had been
found. At nightfall all reports received
by Dr. Oliphant were so favorable that
renewed confidence was infused in the
officials of the board.
All the patients in Claude-street square
are better. These cases are still classed as
suspicious, because their fever is similar
to that which prevailed at Ocean Springs.
This morning a party of doctors and
officials left here over the Illinois Central
for Memphis and will return via the Mis
sissippi Valley.
They will stop at all intervening places
to make known the exact status of affairs,
seeking to allay the fears of the people in
order that a panic in the country may be
prevented and the imposing of unreasona
ble quarantine restrictions raised.
It is hoped that this visit of tbe officials
will have the effect of checking undue re
straint of trade.
One hundred and forty people, white
and black, in Ocean Springs, by actual
count, are in distress, many being in ex
treme need of medicine and provisions.
Not a morsel of food or an ounce of
medicine ha i been given to any one except
by private citizens, who already have been
heavily taxed. Sisters of Charity have
appealed to the authorities to be allowed
to nurse the sick. The fever has not
spread west beyond Biloxi.
Biloxi is appealing for medicine and the
situation in the town is apparently grow
ing steadily worse. Miss Leads, in the
city limits, was declared to have black
vomit after Dr. Locfcett bad made a micro
scopic examination.
Frank Emery, son of the Methodist
preacher there, was late this afternoon re
ported down with the yellow fever. The
house and inmates are quarantined and
the yeliow flag is flying.
Mayor Howard to-day issued orders that
the flag should be displayed wherever
yellow fever was found, and a correspond
ent telegraphs tbis afternoon that the
yellow flag is now conspicuous in Biloxi.

BANK OF ENGLAND INNOVATION.
To Hold Cne- Fifth of Its, Reserve in
Silver— Caustic Comments of
the Times.
LONDON, Esq., S?pt. 11.— The Times,
in a special' article from a correspondent
whose accuracy it says it has reason to
place confidence in, makes the announce
ment that tbe Bank of England directors
have given consent to hold one-filth of the
bank's reserve in silver. • i.;* .»■>>» %s
The Times, commenting editorially on
what it. calls ••dramatic surprises," say?:
"The astonishment of the public will be
immeasurably greater than at the action
of the India Council." The editorial con
tinuss: ,K^v >
This revolution in policy, for it is nothing
less, anp ies to the stock of coin and bullion
held in the issue department as security for
tee bank notes. _ , _ _,^
Peel's act forb ; d? the bank to hold more
than one-fourth in silver. The business com
munity will hope that the directors may be
able to show our informant that he Is mis
taken. ' . , . _
The silver would be quite useless, for nobody
after witnessing the recent headlong tall in
price would dream of regarding it as any
thing but an eligible quantity in such a con
nection. . .
The bank's credit is certainly strong enough
to bear the additional strain without even
wincing; but why should it be subjected
thereto? If the Government Is responsi
ble for the measure it might have found
some less objectionable sop to throw to the
American Commissioners or the bimetallisms
among the ministerial supporters, or whoso
ever it may be that has to le conciliated.
It would have been preferable to aaopt the
oft-repeated suggestion to cease coining half
sovereigns in order to secure a greater cir
culation. , . _ ,
This would have been inconvenient, but not
positively harmful. The measure now said to
le contemplated can only create a temporary
vacuum in the silver market, which will in
evitably be rapidly filled by the practically in
exhaustible supplies available.
It Is needless to deal with the mechanical
difficulties, such as the question of the value
now standing in the bank's books, or the
course to be pursued when large withdrawals
of gold raise the proportion above one-fifth.
These are mere details which shrink before
the importance of the principle involved.
We hope the directors will speedily explain.
