THE FUN RAJ.
Eight Thousand People Attend the Cere-
monies-On!et Prevais


the centering there of strikers to attend
the funeral of seven of the ten victims
who are 10 be buried in the catholic Gene
terry there in long trench already pre-
pared to receive them.
Strikers are gathered here already in
such great numbers it will hardly be pos
sible to house them all and by tomorrow
afternoon 10000 men will be present at
the funerals which will be conducted by
the Rev. Fathers Landing and Sneibe.
A special train has just brought in 700
armed militia from Mt. Pleasant and other
companies will be here in the morning, as
trouble is feared from the great body of
strikers when they see their fel!ow-strik-
ers buried who, they say, were simply
murdered. Mayor Fetts OF Scottdale has
ordered that all saloons must close tomor-
row and strong force of special police
men will also be sworn in to assist in pre-
serving order.
There are some ugly reports coming in
from Mt. Pleasant in regard to the actions
of some members of the militia. This
afternoon body of them entered a store
belonging to q cripple named Dan Somers.
They made some demands of the proprie-
tor which ne refused, whereupon they
broke his windows into pieces and spin
tered his back door into fragments with
their bayonets. One OF the guards be-
came so hilarious that a striker named
Kelly struck him over the head with
pich-handle infiicting an ugly cash.
The different captains have been ap-
prised of their actions and they promise
to take steps to discharge the unruly
members. The arrest OF the deputies on
| the charges of the labor officials for felo-
NOUS shooting continues this afternoon.
| Officer Cav arrested a deputy named Sea-
man at Leisineu ming. Fayette county, and
teok him 10 Greensburg.
DIR. Myer., of AIt. Pleasant stated this
evening that the list OF wounded by the
Norwood riot of yesterday will reach
fully thirty. He says that he is treating
at least twenty but does not deem it pru-
dent to disclose their names. 1t Is re-
! ported here this evening that striker
died at Tarrs today, supposed to have
been a victim of the Norwood riot.
The family OF General Manager Ramsey
have not yet recovered from the fright
they received on the night OF the riot, and
guards are still set over the house. The
Hungarians announced that they would
burn the house on,their way to Norwood
and in Mr.. Ramsey's absence the only
protection the family had was that afforded
by his son William and a friend. Armed
with only Winchester and a revolver
| they several times drove armed strikers
| from the grounds and were Obliged to
watch all night before reinforced by other
guards.
Col Hawkins, in command OF the Tenth
regiment, says so far as his investigations
| go, Capt Loar was perfectly justified in
| firing on the strikers al Norwood and
| that he should strongly advise the militia
to be kept in the regions until the strike
is over and the region quiet.
Tonight the Rev. Father Landing of
the Scotdals catholic church, who is
| greatly beloved and respected and has a
strong influence over the strikers, issued
an appeal to the region He saws: at is
! time for all parties to reflect. If not, and
| blooished has come so soon, how will
! it end? There is so much hatred on
both sides it behooves those who can do so
to call halt and stop the rash, senseless
| talk that has really caused al the trouble.
| If the saloons of the region had been
closed as well as the armories of the gov
| eminent opened long step would have
| been taken toward the restoration of order
| The men cannot be replaced or displaced,
and the vast majority must remain in the
region"
He mas claim to be heard and some
influence for good, and advises peaceful,
amicable settlement before the trouble
| goes further and perhaps both parties fare
worse.
ScoTTDALE, Pa, April 4.-The special
| funeral train bearing the bodies OF seven
of the victims of the Morewood shooting
left Mt Pleasant at 2:32 and arrived here
at 800. The train was composed OF six
coaches and packed full, and standing
room was at q premium on the platforms.
| The bodies were taken off the train at the
| depot and placed in large road wagons.
| The funeral cortege did not move untilthe
regular train arrived at 3:37.
The arge public square was not spacious
enough to hold the great crowds of people,
AMI the delegations that arr we'd on regu-
lar trains had to form on Pittsburg-st. and
| Broadway.
The foreign element did not take kind
| " to the road wagons being used as
! hearses to bear the remains of their conn
| trymen to their last resting p ace, and the
| collins were taken out and six of them
| were carried to the cemetery, a distance
| OF one mile. The seventh was placed in
| hearse. The proce sion moved at
| o'clock, headed bv the standard Miners
cornet and Scottdale bands, both of which
| played the dead-march the entire
distance.
There were fully eight thousand people
at the depot but scarcely half this number
went to the cemetery, and large majority
| of those that did follow the remains We're
Poles, Slavs and Hungarians. American
| flags were conspicuously absent, and
number of the delegates carried banners,
the workmen nearly all wore badges and
Grape, and when the collins We're lowered
| into the large trench which was twelve
feet long and seven feet wide, number Of
| the workmen threw their badges and Grape
| on the collins.
Father Landing and Father Schemigle
| conducted the funeral services according
to the rites of the catholic church, which
were simple but impressive. After the
services the Rev. Mr. Schemigle delivered
sn address in the Polish language, in
