the public in the first accounts OF the
tragedy that were sent out Warden
Durston and Joseph Vieling, deputy sheriff
of Erie county, strapped the doomed man
in the death chair. Kemmler was very
calm and watched the proceedings eagerly.
When asked if he had anything to say he
replied: "Yes, wish you all good luck in
this world and in the next. i think | am
g)ing to a good place The newspapers
nave not treated me right. That is the
only thing have to say. / wish YOU all
very good luck" He said this very much
as if he was aggrieved, and not as il he
was on the threshold OF the grave.
While the straps were being arranged
Kemmler said TO the warden and his as
sistant: 'Take your time Don't be in
hurry Be sure that everything is all
right" Two or three times he repeated
these phrases.

THE BRAKEMEN'S STRIKE.
No Attempt ut Settlement of the Trouble
on the p, v. &C c. X. r.

No Attempt ut a Settlement of the Trouble
on the p, v. & c. r. r.
The strike Of the through brakemen on the
Monongahela division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad presents an ominous appearance.
Yesterday the through brakemen were notified
to appear at the general offices, on the South
side, and receive their time. 1t is understood
that this order was issued by the company with
the object of allowing those brakemen who de-
sire to quit, to do so, and I'd put stop to any
growth of the strike. The PENNSYLVANIA
officials appear to be very solicitous that the
strike should not spread, and are moving very
slowly. They made no attempt yesterday to
run any cars over the line, and are sending all
west-bound freight through the city to the
Panhandle. Another freight was taken to
Monongahela City last evening, but to avoid any
trouble with the remainder of the men, the
company officials manned the car themselves.
The striking brakemen have carefully avoided
lettering about the stations on the road, and
seem content to allow matters to remain as
they are for the time. They have sent no COM
mittee to Superintendent Watt IN regard to the
STRIKE and the latter has made no overtures to
them.
The car blockade at Port Perry has been re.
lieved by the Pennsylvania Railroad which is
rapidly transferring the freight over its main
line to Pittsburg, and 1t was announced last
evening that not more than lO0 cars are yet
sidetracked at Port Perry.
The most important feature of the strike is
the attitude of the yardmen. They announced
yesterday that they would handle no freight
cars coming in over the line until the strike is
settled. Through an inadvertancy 1t was stated
in yesterdays DISPATCH that at the last Lake
Erie strike the shifters at divers mills were
ordered out on the road to get out cars but re-
fused The Olivers did not order the men out
and the shifters were idle during the strike.

APOLLO is AROUSED
Over a Report That Silverman Will
Sell Original Packages
ON THE DATE OF A LARGE PICNIC.
Vengeance is Threatened Against the Vender
and His Cars of Beer.
AND EXTREME MEASURES MAY BE USED

The good citizens of the little village Of
Apollo are just now in fever heat of ex-
citement verging on the desperate. They are
again threatened with the dire effects of the
original package. and, if the impending
danger materializes, promise to cast the
glory of the "Boston tea party" in colonial
days away in the shade for subsidizing OBJ
noxious stamped goods.
The local council of the Junior Order of
American Mechanics, which is strong in the
village, has arranged to give a mammoth
picnic tomorrow. Preparations have been
made for field sports, dancing, and music BY
the Great Western Band. The business
their stores on that day, and make it kind
OF Fourth of July holiday. All was ready
for the day, and congratulations were in
order, until bomb was thrown into the vii
lage, which, as the citizens think, may spoil
the whole affair,
Charles Siyerman, of original package fame,
appeared on the scene. and soon IL was whis-
pered about that he is determined two ship two
car loads of beer to Apollo the date of the
picnic, thinking it most opportune time to
again take advantage of the Supreme Court
decision on selling original packages.
The Juniors and their citizen contingents
straightway held indignation meetings, when
ever two of three met on the street or at WORK.
and are now concocting plans to thwart Mr..
Silverman in selling his original packages.
They fear that If two carloads of beer are
turned loose on that day, .heIr order and the
GOOD reputation of the town will be brought
into disrepure.
Some have suggested dynamite, and others a
second tea party expedition against the con-
tents of the two cars. Many are the plans, but
only one thing remains fixed in their minds
they are determined that the sale of the beer
1t is stopped.
They have also gone further and employed
boycott methods, in requesting employers to
man under such circumstances. All in all, \
hot reception is promised the next original
packages and their vender that appear in
Apollo. and hence some lively scenes are antici-
pared tomorrow.

A POLISH WEDDING

Celebrated In n Manner That In R.,h.r
Novel to the UninitIated Americnu-F,x.
Dollars Charged for Each Dance With
the Bride.
Many citizen on the Southside who
chanced to be anywhere near Odd Fellows
Hall last night, stopped to inquire the
cause of the awful tumble of diseordant
noises that filled the air. Likewise many
peeped into the door of the hall, to view the
scene inside, and then ventured in to enioy
the fun.
The cause of all the rumpus was the cele-
bration of Polish wedding. John Lobof-
ski and Sarah Faranski were married at ST.
Adelberts Church in the morning, and they
with their friends were celebrating the event.
The hall has been engaged for five days. and
the celebration will be kept up for that time.
The musicians had their coats and vests off
blowing for all they were worth. The dance
was hop, skip and jump, ending In whoop
at the end. The bride was dressed in pink
with white veil and crown of flowers. Each
man who danced with her had to pay the
groom IS, and the sum netted will be used by
the couple to start housekeeping. All the
guests including the police officials, kissed the
bride in regular Polish fashion.
During the dance the men smoked tobies ana
some wore their hats. Some had their coats off,
their vests. One man had his shirt ignited from
cigar, and whirled around the hall until his
arm was burned before he discovered it.
When the last horn squeaked wild rush was
made for the bar In the back room and the
tables spread with bologna and cheese.

GIVING OUT THE FIGURES.

A New Order From Census Superintendent
Porter-FindinR the Owners of Dia.
mouds-An Enumerator's Lnck of En-
ergy-MakinE the People Answer tho
Questions.
News was received in This city by wire
last night that Census Superintendent
Porter had advised Supervisor Oliver, who
has charge of the census work in Allegheny
county, to give out such population totals
as he had in his possession for publication.
Mr.. Oliver was seen at his home, in Hazel
wood, last night, and stated that he had re-
ceived no order Of that character from Mr..
Porter as yet, and until he did he would
have to refuse making public any census
figures.
Among the other information sought after
by the Census Bureau is the production OF
precious stones in this country. Every manu-
featuring jeweler has received blank IN
which he is asked a number of questions about
the stones he has cut polished or used In any
way, and is also asked to give the name and ad-
dress of the owner.
The enumerators are bringing in their re-
turns slowly, and Mr.. Oliver says he does not
intend to hurry them, as he proposes to have
the work thoroughly done. He has met with
some Difficulty in carrying out this idea. One
Il
district containing about 2 600 persons, brought
in a list of 479, and said that was all he could
find. Among the people he omitted to enumer-
ate were the families of a number of men well
known in political and social circles. A new
enumerator was appointed, who will so over the
entire district again.
The Hungarians at Braddock who refused to
answer the census enumerator's questions re-
considered their determination yesterday when
an officer appeared with warrants for their ar
rests. Upon complying with the census law
they were released
Mr.. Oliver expects the aid of every citizen in
making the census correct in every detail, and
is glad to receive notice from persons who have
been overlooked by the enumerator. He
thinks the trouble does not lie altogether with
the census takers. Yesterday an enumerator
went to the house of a prominent merchant.
The lady of the house refused to see the
enumerator or give him any information. The
enumerator went to the United States District
Attorneys Office to get a warrant, but little
later met the merchant. who apologized for his
wIfe's behavior, and gave the necessary infor-
melton.

NEARLY A LYNCHING.
The Result of the Infamous Acts of Two
Poles on the Southside.

The Result of the Infamous Acts of Two
Poles the Soutlside.
Yesterday afternoon a messenger breath
lessly informed Officer Smith. of the South
side, that two men had almost killed a woman
on Muriel street, near South Thirteenth. and
that a mob had collected about the house with
the intention of lynching them. The officer
hastened to the place and found that the situ-
alton had not been misrepresensed. A mob of
several hundred persons had collected about
the house at No. 1906 Muriel street, and were
trying to get inside. The entire population
of the nelghborhood had gathered with the in
tention of dealing out vengeance to the two
men whom they claimed had attempted to kill
woman. Officer Smith had to fight his way
into the house, and only succeeded in gaining
an entrance after the hardest kind of strug-
gle. He iound a woman, cut and bleeding her
clothing torn into shreds and in fainting con-
ditior, attended by a group of wolAen, who
were bathing her face and cleansing her of
blood which literally covered her from head to
foot. Her name is Mrs. Joseph Okiche, Slav,
the victim of an assault.
The injured woman's version of the affair
was secured by Captain Stewart through an
interpreter. She said that her husband, Okiche,
had held her in his arms, or attempted to do so,
while Tuzar assaulted her. Her rage lent her
additional strength, and she says she fought
like tigress. She was overmatched in such a
struggle, and, although she continued to fight
1ercely, would have been overpowered had not
assistance arrived, attracted by her screams,
and put an end to the struggle. Okiche and
Tuzar were detained by some of the crowd un-
til Captain Stewart and Officer Smith came
when they were arrested.

HAS AN EAR FOR MUSIC.
Judge Stoves LIBERALIZATION Between n
Guitar md an Accordeon.

Judge Stoves Discrimination Between a
Guitar and an Accordion.
Judge Stowe evidently appreciates taste in
the selection of musical instruments. even if
the selection be made by a thief. A colored
man named Anderson, who was arrested some
time ago by Detective Fitzgerald in East Liver
pool, on suspicion of being connected
with the murder Of Mrs. Rudert, at
Tarentum. came up for sentence before
Judge Collier, on charge of larceny,
yesterday. He was thought to be the man
known as New York Shine" He escaped on
the charge of murder however. but was
brought up one of stealing guitar. He
has bad record, having been in the peniten-
tiary for stealing a watch.
Yesterday Anderson pleaded guilty. and
Judge Collier had decided to send him six
months to the workhouse. but on Judge Stoves
intercession shortened the term month. The
latter explained to Anderson that had he stolen
an ACCORDION there would have been no inter-
ference, no matter how severe the sentence
might have been, and he left it to be inferred
that had 1t been horsefddle no mercy would
have been injected. though sentence of death
had been passed.
