SCoTTDALE, Pa. April 1.-Two more
Tien died to-day from injuries received
at Norwood Thursday morning. They
are Paul Salinsky. of Donnelly, and
Joseph Klasman, of Mullins. The re-
port of their death sent a thrill of eX-
element through the region and gave
rise to rumorS of bloodShed and vio-
lence. There were reports tonight
from all points of the region announc-
lence has been reported up to o'clock.
This afternoon the Standard band of
Mt. Pleasant led the procession from
the Catholic church in Nit. Pleasant to
the Pennsylvania railroad station eS
cOrting the bodies of the Norwood vic
tins. There were five coaches in the train
and all were filled with friends and SYM
pathizers of the dead. They arrived at
ScOttdale at $50 o'clock this afternoon
and were met by the Everson band,
Jefferson Assembly No. 245 and about
5000 people. Rev. Father Landing had
sent request to all of the licensed sa-
loohkeepers to close their bars at 80
O'Clock, and in response to his request
every saloon in town was closed when
the strikers began to assemble to greet
the funeral train. 1t had been showing
heavily since noon, and for three hours
and half the densely packed crowd
stood around the depot patiently await
ing Tor the arrival of the funeral train.
Ninety out of every one hundred were
foreigners and were unable 10 speak
the English language, while at least
One-half of them wore
EmbIeIms of Mourning
to denote their sorrow over the death of
their fellow workers at the hands of
quiet. Scarcely a word was spoken,
and when they did address each other
it was in subdued and awe-stricken
voices. 1t was & scene never to be for
gotten. The falling snow, the depot,
the muddy streets filled with men preg-
nant with Subdued excitement, while
100 yards away up the tracks towards
Mount Pleasant, were five companies of
the Eighteenth regiment under Col. n.
NJ. Smith. They had pulled into Scott
dale early this morning and were given
orders to suppress all disturbances
and preserve the peace at any
cost. The whole formed a plct-
ure of the most intense interest.
Proceeding from the depot the funeral
procession marched down the valley to
the Catholic cemetery, where the re-
mains of the dead were buried with the
religious ceremonies of the Catholic
church. After the funeral the vast
crowd assembled on the Everson flats,
and Peter Weise. district master work
man of the Knights of Labor, called the
meeting to order. Robert WatchOrn,
eX-secretary of the United Mine Work
erS, was the first to address the crowd.
He advised peace, and said that the law
was the only course for the strikers as
well as for the operators. He deplored
the tragedy at Norwood Thursday
morning, and said that people who
were so irresponsible as the deputies
proved to be were
Not Fit for Heaven.
The other speakers were Patrick Nc
Bride, of the executive committee; Vice
President Penna of the United Mine
Workers, the president, secretary and
treasurer, and several others. They all
conceded with Robert Watchorn in
their expressions of peace. Meetings
were also held to-day at Overton and
Stautfer, which were addressed by we'll
known local leaders. Notwithstanding
the fact that all of the leaders counsel
peace, it is generally believed tonight
that there will be trouble in the region
within the next two or three days. Rob
ert WatchOrn is addressing meeting of
the Young Mems Christian association
tonight. Mr.. Watchorn was very in
dignant over the reports in the Pitts
burg papers of an interview with IL.
G. Frick, in which the latter condemned
the labor leaders with being responsible
for the present troubles in the region.
Mr.. Watchorn says that he will have
affidavits by Monday to show that H.
G. Frick paid for the passage of work
men from Europe to America, and that
many OF these men were forced to go
down into the mines at the muZzieS of
rifles and revolVers, where they were
to stay until such time as Mr..
Prick saw fit to liberate them. A SEN
Sation was caused here to-day when
four men. heavily masked and armed,
entered the electric light plant and
asked one of the men on duty if that
was the Office of He. Prick & Co. When
the man replied in the negative the men
stated that they intended to burn Tricks
office. They left the electric plant, dis
appearing down the road, and have not
been seen since. 1t Is believed that a
great deal of Tricks property Will be
destroyed before Tuesday, and, as the
men have been urged by their leaders
to hold out, it is not believed that the
strike will be settled during the next
two weeks at least. The men are more
sullen and ugly than at any time since
the trouble commenced, and unless some
satisfactory to all parties
is soon made, a loss of life and property
in comparison to which the loss that
has so far been experienced will be
trifing.
May Resume Monday.
1t is rumored that an effort will be
made to resume at the Leith and Red
stone works of the Frick company Mon
lay morning. A written notice served
1n Sheriff Mccormick to-day by the
Prick and Mcclure coke companies
gives color to the belief that a
general resumption will be at
tempted at once. The Frick company
notified the sheriff that they would look
TO him for protection at all their works.
superintendent j. P. Brennan served a
similar notice for the Mcclure company.
Sheriff Mccormick said tonight that
ne would be obliged to impress a large
lumber Of deputies into service.
ALI his deputies at present, with
he exception of few at
Fairchance, are concentrated at the
JimtOWn and Adelaide works. To-day
Judge Ewing granted a postponement
n the injunction cases of II. @. Fricck
i Co. against Master Workman Wise,
Vice President Penna and others, oW-
ing to their attending the funerals.
Everything is quiet at midnight. and
It Is expected that no trouble Will arise
