A special from Hazleton says, con-
corning the situation in the disturbed
mining districts, that letter from
President Gurley of the Miners Asso-
citation is published, saying that the
troops will be drawn, as the civil au-
thorities have exceeded their power,
the troops having been used merely to
awe the laborers into submission to IN
Just demands, and their presence leads
public opinion to regard the laborers as
a dangerous class. AS the situation
stands at present, the strikers are de-
termined to hold out to the end.

came to him this afternoon and to ok
him to the fourth story of the building
they were occupying, to consult with
him about some Improvements. While
there Ross attacked him with heavy
hammer and sharp instrument. After
that everything was a blank to Sutton
for two hours. He revived and
crawled down two pairs of stairs, to
where there were workmen. who saw
that he was covered with blood and
nearly dead. The police surgeons and
the District Attorney were summoned;
and the physicians said Sutton must
die. In his ante-mortem statement he
said Ross was his murderer. Ross
was found in his room at the Metro

murder. He was changing his clothes.
A bloody handkerchief was found in
his room, and his hand was cut. Ross
was brought to the dying man. and de-
clared that the ante-mortem statement
was liej that he had not seen Sutton

go to eternity with lie on his lips.
