KEMP, A. 11., Principal FOUR STRIKERS UNDER ARREST Coal and Iron Police Fail to Incite a Riot. Prisoners Taken to Wilkes barre and Placed Under Bail by Alderman Pollock. Bail to Be Furnished. John 11. Shovlln, ex-high constablo of Freeland; John Schrader, of Jeddo; Wil liam Gilgot, Jr., of Upper Lehigh, and John Waskewicz, of Highland, were arrested at Driftoo this morning by coal and iron police. They were tkken to Wilkesb&rre and placed under bail for their appearance at court. In default of bail the men were lodged in tho county jail. Coxo Bros. & Co. took aggressive steps this morning to precipitate a riot in this section, and that their plans for a repetition of the Lattimer massacre miscarried is due solely to the coolness of the strikers' leaders and the presence of the sherifT of the county. A telephone message from Drifton office at 3 o'clock this morning called SherifT Jacobs, of Hazleton, out of bed. lie was informed that a number of strikers were to gather in that town to commit depredations and was asked to go there at once. Summoning Deputy SherifT Issue Eck ert, tho ex-county detective, and three others, he started for Drifton. Eckert was placed on the south outskirts of the latter town, and the sheriff and tho others continued on their way to Froe land. Arriving here ho found tho usual number of men guarding the roads to Drifton. Among the crowd woro strikers from Drifton, Highland, Freeland and Upper Lehigh. They wero waiting to be joined by the Jeddo and Oakdale delegations, after which tho usual morn ing's work would begin. According as tho time passed and no men fronj Jeddo appeared, the feeling here took root that they had been in tercepted. In tho meanwhile tho work of tho pickets went on as on previous days, and none of tho Drifton employes, excepting those who are exempt from molestation, succeeded in getting through the strikers" linos. BUSBEC'TEI) A NEW MOVE. The failure of the coal and irou police to indulge in their morning inarch from Drifton to tho Lebigh Valley Railroad tracks at Freeland caused some com ment, aud this added furthor suspicion that Coxo Bros. & Co. had some now move under way. Whllo the strikers on tho Freeland side of Drifton wore quietly performing their work of inducing men to return home, without interference from the sherifT, who saw no laws transgressed, a different scene was being enacted at Drifton. Deputy Sheriff Eckert mot tho Jeddo strikers at tho outskirts of Drifton. The officer read the riot act, after which the men were ordered by their leaders to disperse. This they did, some return ing homeward and others starting on through Drifton, intending to come to Freolaod. VVheu those bound this way neared Drifton office tho coal and iron uniform ed police wero called out and twenty eight of tho latter formed a double rank across Hazle township turnpike. JOHN 801IRADKR ARRESTED. Schrader was among the foremost group of tho strikers and as ho was about to walk past the company of coal and Iron men two sprang from the ranks, at tho order of John Rohlands, and placed him under arrest. After Schrader was arrested and placed under guard tho specials turned their attention to the balance of the Jeddo men en route for Freeland. The strikors bad halted when the arrest was made and stood somewhat undecided whether to return home or not. Tho coal and iron men then started forward, each man with his right hand on his-revolver, which hung in front of his breast. With their loft hands they pushed the strikers rapidly ahead of them, and those who were inclined to expostulate or explain wero jostled about without ceremony, notwithstand ing the fact that none had left tho township highway. Fortunately, a few of tho strikers' group saw through the plans of the men who had charge of Uhe officers and they called to their companions to return to IIISCKLLANEOUH AUVEKTISKMENTS.

FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1902. Jeddo, which advice was followed. Those present say that the coal and iron police were roundly berated by the Drif ton officials for their alleged laxity In permitting the Jeddo strikers to go away peaceably. This happened at 5.40 o'clock and half an honr later a rumor reached the body of strikers at Freeland that a number of Jeddo men had been arrested at Drifton. Several wanted to go and investigate, but were induced by Sheriff Jacobs and his men to remain hero. However, a party of about twenty went from Free land to Drifton to learn the nature of the trouble reported there. SPECIAL OFFICER FIKKS A SHOT. As they neared the line of special officers in front of Drifton office one of the latter drew a revolver and iired into tho air. Shovlln, thinking the officer had shot at the strikers, drew a revolver to protect himself. While holding the weapon In his hand a Drifton officer approached from be hind and dealt him a heavy blow with a bludgeon, which felled him. Four of the uniformed force then ran forward and placed Shovlln under ar rest. Gilgot and Waskewicz, who were in tho strikers' party and had stepped for ward to help Shovlln to his feet, were also pounced upon by the specials and arrested. No resistance was offered by any of the strikers to those who took them Into custody. Sheriff Jacobs and his deputies brought tho four men to tho Freeland Lebigh Valley station, and the sheriff and Eckert took them to Wilkosbarre on the train leaving here at 7.29 o'clock. FOUR PLACED UNDER BAH*. Upon the arrival of the officers and men at the county seat the prisoners wero taken to the office of Alderman Pollock, of tho Fourth ward. Informa tion against them was lodged by Eckert, who charged them with "riot, rout aud unlawful assembly." The prosecution was represented by Attorney John T. Lenahan, of Wilkos barre, and tho defendants by Attorneys James L. Lenahan, of Wllkesbarre, and R. J. O'Donnell, of Freeland. Alderman Pollock held tho men under bail for their appearance at court, fixing the amounts as follows: For Shovlln, 81.000; for Waskewicz, 8500; for Sch rader, 8500, and for Gilgot, SSOO. In default of ball the prisoners were com mitted to the county jail. The Tribune is informed this after noon that bail will be furnished for tiie prisoners, and that the four men may be expected home on tho 7.39 o'clock train this evening. FIRST LOSS OF LIFE. The first loss of life during the strike occurred yesterday at the William A. colliery at Duryea. Antonio Guiseppe, an Italian, was shot dead by one of the coal and iron policemen from bohind the stockade of the colliery. Reports differ as to the cause of tho shooting. The friends of the dead man say he was walking on the road near tho stockade when he was fired upon. Tho man was on his way from Scranton to Duryea at the time. Anothor report is that the Italian triod to get over the fence and would not heed tho warning from the policemen to go away. Tho body lay In the roadway for some time. Tho coal and iron police would not venture outside of tho stockade to remove it and tho poople living In the vicinity did not want to take it away until the arrival of the coronor. When the sheriff of Lackawanna county reached the scene ho ordered tho body removed. ARBITRATION OFFER DENIED. It was reported at Pottsville last night that the ond of the strike Is near at hand. The roport said that at meetings of tho executive boards of the United Mine Workers, which will be hold simul taneously in the three districts, today, there will be submitted a proposition for tho arbitration of the miners'grievances if they return to work at once. The union officers say that they have not roceivod any offer as stated above aud do not know what grounds those who circulated the rumor have for the statement. The Mine Workers loaders would not b surprised to receive over tures looking toward a settlement of tho trouble. There aro abundant signs of disagreement among tho operators. SHORT STRIKE ITEMS. Sixteen striking miners were placed under arrest yesterday morning for al leged disorderly conduct in the Panther Creek valley section. It is alleged that these men stopped trolley cars carrying non-union men. and by threats of vio lence forced tho men to return to their homes. Stephen Reap, a member of the executive board of the Ninth district, and Hugh Duggan. a striker, both of 1 Oiypbant, were held in bail yesterday at Scranton for throats and taking part in the recent riots at Olyphant.

Standing room was at a premium at the Grand opera house on Monday even ing, and the commencement exercises of tho senior class of St. Ann's Com mercial school woro enjoyed by nearly 1,000 poople. The stage was prettily decorated with plants, flags, etc., and presented a most inviting appearance when the curtain rose. The program, as published In Mon day's issue, was carried out without any important change, and tho various num bers were liberally applauded. The orations, songs and musical selections given by the members of tho class were instructive, while the salutatory and prophesies were entertaining and neatly worded. George McLaughlin, Esq., delivered the opening address and spoke encour aglngly to tho graduates. Rev. M J. Falliheo read the address of Prof. Cross, the examiner, who was unable to be prosent, and also awarded the diplomas aud medals to the class.

Wright Steps Down. J. Ridgway Wright has resignod as chairman of the Luzerne county Demo cratic committee, and simultaneously his name appeared as leader of tho "Citizens' Alliance." This organization is com posed of several hundred business and professional men of Wilkosbarre and vicinity, sworn to fight against boycotts, the intimidation of workers at tho mines and acts of violence. As the head of such an organization, secret as it is In character, Mr. Wright could not maintain his position at the • head of the Democratic party, and it is understood that he has practically put aside all his political ambitions, as the position is not one to win sympathy aud votes. Major Wright served a term in the legislature, was a major in the Ninth regiment, and has long been one of the most prominent money-wing Democrats in Luzerne county. Greek Church Cathedral.
