PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 23.-Presi-
dent Wilbur, of the Lehish Valley,
who is in the city, stated that he re-
ceiyed information from Towanda,
Bradford county, that Sheriff Powers
had, in anticipation of trouble between
the strikers and those friendly to the
roads interests, called on Governor
Pattison for military assistance. Mr..
Wilbur was unable to give the details
OF the alleged trouble in Bradford
county, but he thought it was of the
most serious nature.
The position OF the road in general
and that OF it's late employees the
strikers) is practically the same as it
has been for tho past two days. Tho
company ia still hiring new men, and
the strikers claim in their reports TO
tho grievance committee that they arc
persuading many OF them to leave their
new employment.
Past Grand Chief Tburston, OF the
telegraphers, stated tonight that he
did not think the strike would last
more than three days longer. He and
his associates are earnest in their de-
nunCiations of any attempts at vio-
lence, either to life or property, on the
part OF the strikers, and they are coun-
selling them to remain peaceful and
patient,

NEW MEN

Running Trains from Buffalo-Plenty of
Applicants for Strikers Places-Switch-
men Taking No Hand.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. ga special
train from the downtown Lehigh depot
brought twenty new men to East Buffalo
at7:45 this afternoon. Half an hour
later another special arrived at William
street, from the city with fifty men.
The men were taken to the temporary
hotel. Orders were expected to send
them to sayre and other points this
Master Mechanic Campbell and
Travelling Engineer Mooney to-day ex-
amined sixty.five applicants for places
as engineers. They were placed on en-
gines and given work to do about the
ward. A mental examination was also
made. They were closely questioned
about their past record. Out OF the
sixty-fve examined, two were found in
competent.
In the Lehigh yards here aboutsoven-
ty switchmen are employed. To rep
resentative Of the Associated Press, one
Of the Lehigh sWitchmen said, speaking
with the consent Of his mates:
I'VE are perfectly satisfied with our
treatment and have no fault to find.
We don't know how the switchmen on
the other roads feel, but we do not pro.
pose to take any hand in this affair.
We have not been asked to take the
place of the fremen, conductors or
trainnen."

rRouBLE ayr AUBURN.

A Non.Union Engineer Has His Skull
Fraotured-A Mob Attacks an Engine.
AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 2S.-As predict
cd in these dispatches last night, more
trouble came between strikers in this
city and non.uuion men to-day. A train
went to Ithaca with Roldburg, an engi-
neer from the Rome, Watertown aud
Ogdensburg road in charge OF the en-.
CINE, and David slocum, boy from Au.
burn, as fireman. The train returned
this afternoon and when it pulled into
the Lehigh yards shower OF stones
from the strikers and sympathiEers,
crashed through the cab windows. Slo.
cum jumped from the cab aud rushed
into house nearby. The engineer was
hit on tho head by big stone. His
scalp was cut open AID his skull prob
ably fractured.
A detective in the cab was also hurt
in the arm. Tho police were summoned
and charged the mob, which dispersed
without much show OF resistance when
they saw the officers ut hand.

THE sTEEL RA11 PooL.
More Complete Than First Reported!
Radical Change Matte.

More Complete Than First Roported-A
Radical Change Made.
PITTsBURe, Pa, Nov. 2S.-Additional
information about the new steel rail
pool shows It to be more complete than
was at first suspected. In addition to
leasing the steel plant at sparrow's
Point, Nd, the new pool has also leased
the Pennsylvania Steel Company's
plant at Steelton, Pa. These two plants
will be kept closed indefinitely, the Car
negie and Illinois companies having the
western trade allotted them and the
Bethlehem, Cambria and Lackawanna
firms the eastern.
The new leased concerns, which will
be shut down by tho pool, employ about
5000 men.
Under the new pool there will be
radical change from the allotment sys-
TEN which was in vogue under the steel
rail association which was formed in
1887, at least such is the general belief
OF brokers who have inside information.
In 1890. with a total production of
1883, 1855 tons Of rails, the allotment was
as follows:
Bethlehem, Cambria, Lackawauna,
Scranton and Maryland per cent each I;
Carnegie and Illinois combined 81 per
cent.
It will be seen that the new pool
differs in fixing minimum price Of $24
per ton at present, and it is stated that
penalty has been fixed for any rate
cuttins. Tie new allotment Of the pool
will be more territorial than was the
former 1t is understood that the
board Of control will regulate the pro-
duction as we'll.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 23.-The'
investigation ordered by Judge Jack
son, of the federal court, OF the charges
made by the Huntington and Charles
ton papers, OF brutality, drunkenness
and lewdness on the part Of the United
States deputy marshals, was finished
to-day. Five Huntington and two
Charleston newspaper men were before
the court, but the whole affair ended
in Judge Jackson publicly censurlng
DR.. Thomas Hallanan, of the Hunting
ton Times, and advising him to retract
tho statements made by him. This
Hallanan says he will not do, and is
now summoned to appear tomorrow
before Judge Jackson to answer the
charge OF contempt. A witness claims
that he heard DR.. Hallanan make some
remarks rather unComplimentary about
his honor.
Deputy Marshal Dawson, who ia
alleged TO have struck the shackled
prisoner, was practically e1onerated by
the court as ho received no censure,
though many thought he would be de-
posed.
A committee from the Huntington
chamber of commerce waited upon
Judge Jackson to-day and laid before
him the advantages Of that place for
location for the court 1t is said the
Judge considered the proposition
favorably, and it is probable that Hunt
ington will get the court. 1t seems that
the officials want it to go from Charles
ton at any cost, and Huntington is the
only place that has asked for it. The
boomerang has come back on Charles
ton. Tho Charleston newspaper men
will probably be before the court to-
morrow.

Tho Coal Operators Anxious for tho strike
to End and May End it.
WIIKEsBAREE, Pa, Now ga COM
mittee from the individual coal opera
tors held conference with tho strike
leaders this afternoon. Tho individual
operators are anxious that the strike
should end, as they are losing great
deal OF money. They cannot market
their coal and some of them have con-
tracts which must be filled. AS result
OF the conference the strikers are very
hopeful. William L. Conyngham, the
wealthy coal banker, with headquarters
in this city, had long talk with Presi-
dent Wilbur at Bethlehem over the
long distance telephone Immediately
after the conference.
Conyngham hasimportant contracts to
fill and he is particularly anxious that
some amicable arrangement shall be
reached. The advent OF the individual
coal operators into the fight is new
phase, and brotherhood man said this
evening:
"The individual coal operators may
be the cause OF our winning the strike
within the next twenty-four hours"

AN OLD MAN sIURDERED

by Robbers After He Hnd Pluckily De.
Tended Himselc-A Desperate Battle
Near Wooster.
CLEVELAND, O., Nov. ga special to
the Leader from Wooster, Ohio, says
that Robert Ewing. seventy years old, a
wealthy farmer seven miles northwest
of there. was murdered last night by
robbers.
He was aroused from sleep by hear
ing a terrible thump on the kitchen
door. He surmised at once that he had
received a visit from the gang, and
springingto thefoor outof bed, he pick
ed up his shot gun which he had stand
ing at the head Of his bed. He opened
the door from the bedroom TO the sitting
room, and then opened tho door to the
kitchen, and on looking toward the
outer door Of the kitchen saw man
about to epteE. He raised the shot gun
taking deliberte aim fired.
The entire load from the shotgun
lodged in the plosterinG at the side Of
door. After Ewing shot ne turned, and
as he was closing the door a bullet from
a revolver fired BY one OF the robbers
carried OF the end Of his left thumb.
Before he closed the door another shot
struck him under the left shoulder. This
shot caused him to stagger and fall to
the floor, but the plucky old man
arose to his feet and rushed into the
bedroom, secured his revolver and rush
ed out to the kitchen door, which by
this time had been battered down by
the robbers. The old man shot among
them and they sent back three bullets,
none OF which struck him and then
they turned and ran, Mr.. Ewing count
ing five of them. Tonight Mr.. Ewing

sHAMoEM, Pa, Nov. 2S.--Tho Lchigh
Valley strike has extended to its Ma
honoy division. The brotherhood men
went out to-day between shamokin,
Mount Carmel, Delano and Maueh
Chunk, and freight traffic is practically
suspended. Several trains were run
through with new mon.
The schedule is demor0lized, and the
strikers just now have the upper hand.
They have made no attempts at violence,
and say that they will conduct the
Ptriko on gentlemanly lines.
The tie.up on this limo was entirely
unexpected, a1d this fact adds to tho
general decentralization.
