crowd OF about three hundred miners
congregated at the mines and demand
ed their removal therefrom forthwith.
To this demand the foreman made OBJ
jections and he was Immediately knock
ed down. He however escaped by
going into the mine. He told his men
Of the circumstance, which 80 intimida-
ted them that they came out. When
outside they were told by the rioters
that they would not be harmed pro-
vided they did not attempt to work In
that mine again, and were then allowed
to depart unharmed, when the crowd
dispersed, heaping curses loud and deep
upon the proprietors and superintendent
OF the mines. This morning, however.
the enterprising lessees OF that mine
made up their minds that work
should be resumed and were fortunate
enough to secure full force OF men,
who are willing to work guarded by
soldiers. They are getting out the us
ual amount Of coal to-day, although
trouble is anticipated. Last night about
sixty miners visited the place for the
purpose of destroying the track, cars
and machinery of the mine, but were
prevented by the soldiers. The men
hastily left the mines.
Gallagher and Mcdonald, who were
so badly mangled by the mob OF miners
yesterday are in critical condition to-
day, and there is no telling how many
more were hurt whose names could not
be ascertained
Notwithstanding the disgraceful usage
which the laborers received from the
miners yesterday, the former held a
large meeting in Bellevue last night and
adjourned at late hour. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted, in which
they resolved to stand by each other
and be preparation any further murder
GUS assaults. 1t was heart-rending to
hear the tales Of several persons who
only escaped with their lives, and which
were corrobarated by upwards Of forty
men.
Mcdonald, who was wounded by the
miners in the riot yesterday, has just
died from his wounds.
Three dead bodies Of laborers have
been found in the swamp near the
Hampton mines. Their bodies were
horribly mutilated and their counte-
nances were almost unrecognizable.
The name Of one Of them has since
been ascertained to be Daley. He was
married man and resided in Bellevue
The bodies are held by the coroner, who
has been notified and will hold an in
quest this afternoon.
At meeting of the Delaware and
Hudson Company, held in Providence
yesterday, the question of arbitration
was freely discussed and the following
preamble and resolution adopted:
WHEREAS, The President Of the Della
ware and Hudson Coal Company has
offered to arbitrate the question Of wages,
provided the men 60 to work uncondi-
tionally, be it therefore
RESOLVED, That we offer to arbitrate
with an umpire the question Of the
wages we shall receive and 60 to work
unconditionally.
A committee was appointed to carry
the resolution to Mr.. Dickerson An
answer is expected from him to-mor-
row.
WILKEsBARRE, MAY l0-There has
been no outbreaks at Scranton to-day,
but a general feeling of insecurity pre-
walls there. Much animosity exists be-
tween the laborers and the miners. No
one can predict when another riot will
take place. One Of the men wounded
in yesterdays fight died to-day and
another is not expected to recover. But
few troops are quartered in Scranton, as
the authorities fear that their presence
would incite the wrath of the miners
and make them more dangerous when
the troops are withdrawn. Soldiers are
within call however, to insure the
speedy suppression OF anv riotous dem.
onstration.
LATER.
SCRANTON, May l0-The events Of
to-day have not been so terrible as for.
mer reports have represented them.
After the disgraceful riot of yesterday
there has been no movement looking to
a disturbance, and the streets where
the miners generally congregate have
been almost deserted to-day This
morning the good people of this city
were all expecting to hear the worst
tales of arson and murder, but in this
they were happily disappointed
A strong special police force and the
military now here were stationed at
convenient points in order to promptly
arrest any outrage which might occur
and this may account for the quietness
During the night nothing occurred to
disturb the peace of the city till 2 A.
NJ, when fire broke out in Bellevue
the work of the rioters, and a frame
dwelling belonging to Patrick Noona, a
laborer, was burned to the ground. The
owner and his little family were not in
the building at the time, and thus es-
capped q probable death, as the building
was burned in 30 short time that il
would have been impossible to escape
Mr.. Nooua had $500 insurance on the
house. 1910.
Y A meeting of the Irish and German
laborers and well disposed miners who
wish to join the movement, is called
tor tomorrow at 10 A. N. on Storm
Hill in the Eleventh ward. Several
prominent speakers will address the
meeting, including Mr.. ~Burtc6, city ed.
itor of the Democrat. m .-1lsiE = >
