Scranton, Penn, May II. At 8 o'clock
this evening, as the laborers and miners
working on the Briggs shaft were returning to
their homes, escorted by squad of soldiers
they were assaulted by a crowd of 200 Welch
miners, who threw stones and missiles at
them. Two of the laborers were struck, one
on the breast and the other on the leg, by
large stones, upon which a soldier leveled
his gun at one of the assailants and fired,
killing Benz. Davis and David Jones, WEIGH
men. The laborers were peaceable, modest
ing no one, and not even replyingto the in
suits which were showered upon them by the
assailants, and when they were assaulted
with stones, only one shot was fired, that

will have a striking effect on that class who
have instituted a reign of terror and lawless-
