occurred here this morning on the Le-

L. J. Bovee, his wife and daughter, Miss
Nancy Wick of Leroy and Miss Emma
Bowden of New York. Miss Bowden
was visiting the Bovees, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent families
in the county. They were riding to
church and drove ON the Lehigh track in
front of the express, not seeing it. All
were mangled beyond RECOGNITION but
for the clothing they wore, 1t seems to
be a case of mutual negligence on the
part of the railroad men and the killed.

New York, August 20.-The 5000 un--
employed men of New York. who broke
into Walhal1a hall on Orchard street
Thursday morning contrary to the wishes
of the proprietor, were misguided, per-
haps, as most mobs are, but none OF the
men were vicious The doings of the
East Sides masses in the past three days
indicate that there are among the unem-

many who are actually vicious. At first
it seemed as If the great crowds OF men
belonged to no particular political faction
but the anarchists came prominently in
to the foreground and attempted to as
sumo leadership
Emma Goldman, the young woman
who, it is alleged, is the wife of Anar-
chist Bergman, the man who shot super
intendent H. C. Frick of Carnegie's mills
in Pittsburg last summer, addressed
several large meetings for unemployed
workmen on the East Side, Friday. The
first meeting was at Golden Rule hall,
No. 125 Rivington street. She spoke
second time at Birnbaum's place, No.
131 Allen street. Both speeches were
regarded as extremely anarchistic tone.
In both places the gist Of Miss Gold
mans harangue was: aIf you are
hungry and need bread, go and get it;
the shops have plenty and the doors are
open.n
Yesterday another meeting was held in
Golden Rule hall. The room was crowded
with men clamoring for work, butwho are
believed to be anarchists. Emma Gold
man entered the hall at o. clock and
forced her way into the midst Of the
crowd. She was greeted uproarously and
passed on m ems shoulders. She mounted
