borough and the schuylkill Traction Com.
pany over the continuance of operations by
the company over a part of Main street.
For about five minutes there was one of the
most bloody conflicts at close range ever wit.
messed on the street in any town OF this state.
The scene was absolutely beyond description,
and it is surprising that the list of killed and
wounded is not more lengthy one.
As it is, two men have passed beyond all
scenes of strife and discord on this earth,
another is almost at the point of death and
three others are seriously injured
1t was case of Winchester rifles against
revolvers and the former played havoc
against the men who held the latter.
TWO DEAD.
William Holland expired about twenty
minutes after the fight started with a fright
full wound in his left breast.
Richard Amour formerly Chief OF
Police of Shenandoah, and now
County Detective and special officer
in the employ of the schuylkill Trac-
tion Company, lies at the home of his mother,
on South West street, this town. with pistol
shot wound in his right breast which the
doctors fear may have fatal effect.
James Parfoot died at 4 o'clock this morn
ing,
THE CAUSE.
Information was received in town at about
half past seven o'clock last evening that the
Borough Council of Gilberton had put large
force of men at work tearing up the road OF
the schuylkill Traction Company. A reporter
was sent to the scene at once by the HERALD.
DIsPLAoING RAILS.
When the reporter reached the scene he
found force of men busy tearing up the
rails of the electric road under the direction
of Councilmen Stone, Gorley, Middleton and
John F. Reynolds The workers whacked
away at the rail spikes with heavy sledges
and as each rail was released it was picked up
and thrown to the side of the road with cry
of 'Theres anotherP p which brought out the
injunction from the overseers to ''Now, take
the nextP'
There was no excitement on the grounds
and very little loud talking. The sounds Of
the striking wedges rang out clear in the air
and could be heard several squares away.
When asked the cause of the work the by
ISLANDERS said, "The company did not live up
to its agreement and when Couneilmen
Stone and Gorley were spoken to on the sub
ject by the reporter they said, eve are doing
this b-cause they
DoS'T PAY ATTENTION
to what we tell them aud have not lived up
10 ,h- homusl o,dnlpce We have notified
hem f,rca.oliy To do so, but they Ignored u.s."
Councilman Stone said the work started at
$50 in .he evening and the Council proposed

CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
At about half past nine o'clock the gang of
wcrkmen were ordered to desst, the amount
of track laid out for destruction having been
torn up. Many of the men who had quietly
watched the operations then walked away,
but a number remained on the grounds and
squatted themselves beside the railway line
and along the curbs of the street.
EXPECTED TROUBLE.
The men who remained said they had
heard the Traction Company had declared
that it would send force of men to relay
the rails before morning and the borough
was determined that the track should not go
down until the company fulfilled the condi-
tions of the ordinance.
TRANSFERRING PASSENGERS.
Meanwhile the cars of the Traction COM
pany were arriving from the east and west
and, understanding the situation, the conduc-
tors established transfer system. The cars
from Mahanoy City stopped at the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad crossing, where
the track runs up to the Gilberton colliery,
and the cars from Maizeville stopped at
Church street. opposite Foley's hotel. The
passengers had about 600 feet to walk to
make the transfer
TROUBLE BREWING.
Az about fifteen minutes after IL o'clock the
headlight of car approaching from the west
was seen by a crowd standing at the corner of
Main and Church streets and Immediately
arose the cries of "Here they come p, "Now
look out !" damn the rail will go down -
A moment later construction car No. 1, one
of the "dinkies," pulled up to the Church
street crossing. The most conspicuous figure
on the platform was County Detective
Amour, standing to the right of the motor
man, with Winchester rifle standing up
right beside him and held by his right hand
GROWING SERIOUS.
In the car were half dozen navvies with
picks and shovels and about the same number
of men with Winchester rifles A great crowd
assembled in front of the car as it stopped and
the navvies alighted.

AMOUR's COMMAND.

AMoUR's COMMAND.
Finding that the navvies were unable to
find place to start work on account of the
crowd Detective Amour singled out what
appeared to him to be the most prominent of
the obstructionists and said, Councilman
Stone, and you, Councilman Reynolds COM
mand you in the name of the Commonwealth
to disperse this mob and allow these men to
go to work"
Then observing Chief Burgess Hohlihan
standing in the middle of the track Amour
added, "and you, Chief Burgess, l call upon
to uphold the laws of the Commonwealth"
At this moment Amour raised his Win
chester and as. the muzze pointed to the
crowd the members of it shouted defiance.
Shoot, you ---, but you won't lay
this track tonight" pull the ----
off the car" pull all them OFF, "Throw
the car from the track" "Where is the
Chief Burgess? "Chief Burgess arrest
those men for carrying firearms" ARREST
them all, we have ten to one to do it," We're
the cries that arose from all sides.
SIGNS OF PEACE,
Amour lowered his Winchester and in a
quiet tone entered into conversation with
Councilman Stone Gorley and Reynolds. He
said that he was simply carrying out a matter
of form under instructions of the Traction
Company and that representatives of the
company had expected to meet William Will
helm, Esq, counsel for the borough, on the
scene to amicably arrange the trouble.
A RESTLESS CROWD.
Amour's statement had a pacifying effect
on some, but the majority continued to
upbraid him for coming to the town with
winchesEers and for presenting his rifle at
the crowd Garrett Keating's stalwart form
appeared before the crowd and he shouted,
81 was a gainst this work of the Borough
Council, put since you people come here to
terrify US with your Winehesters, stand by
the borough"
DESPERATE AGAIN.

jumped the track and an end of it struck him
on the head, causing fracture of the skull at
the base. Loucks died shortly after being
taken to his home on Mayberry alley.

by trade and belonged to Philadelphia

James Garrett and his wife, an aged couple
residing at Lost Creek, were picking coal
along the Lehigh Valley Railroad yesterday
afternoon when a train suddenly approached

The couple became excited and instead of
leaving the track ran ahead ofthe train. Be-
fore the engineer could reduce the speed of

A Paper Birthday.

The News yesterday completed its
first year of publication and says:
We have the cleanest office i'll
town, we are proud of our typos and
think that for general good behavior
they cannot be excelled. We have
been rash enough TO wash the win
dows once during the year and the
office towel is given bath periodic
ally to keep it from going to rival
office.
These are matters worthy of con
gratulatory mention and qualities of
which any newspaper office can well
be proud.
We wish we could speak thus con-
fdently of the good character of our
typographical force.
The parties who have worked for
the APPEAL from time to time, have
we regret TO say, not been young
men whose great worth as Sunday
school scholars we could ever safely
recommend.
If Miss Martin would only step
into our office some evening when
the composltors were not aware of
her presence, we are confident that
she would share with US the regret
that they were so worldly and pro-
fame.
What strikes us as the queerest
thing of all is the fact that most of
Miss Martins compositors were orr
ginally raised in the APPEAL Office
and when they left US had decided
leaning to profanity and beer.
That they have reformed under
better influences is a pleasure as well
as surprise to us. A paper that
can evanaelize printers in one short
year and make such angels of them
deserves more than a passing COM
ment.
If Miss Martin will teach the edi-
tor of the APPEAL. bow to control his
language when a nunpariel govern
ment advertisement is brushed to the
floor by careless compositor, we
will pay literally for the tuition.

Silver Day ut the Fair.

Governor Prince of New Mexico,
chairman of the committee appointed
at the recent trans Mississippi con-
gress at Ogden to arrange for silver
day at Chicago during the exposition,
had a conference with the committee
on ceremonies on Saturday, which
resulted in September 18th being APP
pointed as Silver Day. 1t is expected
that the most prominent champions
of bimetallic standard will be pres
emit at that time, and that the ad-
dresses will be of national impor-
lance.

JUSTICE HAWTHORNE'S DE-
CISION.

Yesterday the case of Bray VS..
Orsmby County was tried in the
Justice Court and the case was de-
cided by Justice Howthore in favor
of Bray. The evidence showed that
Bray did $50 worth of road work for
the county and demanded his money.
The Auditor refused to draw the
warrant because the statute expressly
forbids any County Commissioner
from being interested in contract
for improving or repairing roads.
1t also provides that supplies may
be purchased of a Commissioner,
when not to do so would work
hardship on the county.
The Court decided that the gravel
and dirt put on the road came under
the head of County Supplies"
Even the plaintiffs had not ex-
pected decision on these ridiculous
grounds and had therefore failed to
show that not to employ Bray would
have worked hardship on anyone,
especially as dozens of men were
ready and anxious TO do the same
work.
How much of an emergency"
Bray considered the case to be is
shown by his own testimony.
He was told to do the work on
Friday and didn't lift hand to it
until the following Monday.
The decision of the Court puts
Bray in very peculiar position. 1t
virtually admits that all his contracts
above $50 a month are illegal. AS
many of his contracts in past times
were over 500 they are all invalid,
and nothing now remains for the
District Attorney to do but to follow
the instructions Of the law and begin
suit to recover all money paid to
Bray in excess of $50 a month for
road work
The taxpayers of the county need
not. however, be alarmeu over the
decision of yesterday. The case will |
60 at once to the District Court.
