HAzLBToN, Pa, Sept. 12.-The situa-
.ion here tonight is graver than 1t has
been at any time since the bloody affray
of Friday afternoon, There Is strong
reason to fer conflict between the
strikers and the military to-morow.and
there is an indication that from flve to
seven thousand more miners will Join tho
malcontents.
Feeling continues high against shertn
Martin and his deputies, and the intensi-
~ Of the situation is such that sudden
turn of the head or word spoken aboVo
the ordinary tone brings running
crowd. The soldiers are watchful ana
ready for any emergency, and the people
OF the town are In a state which may
easily become panic.
An incident of ugly omen occurred
during the funeral OF three OF the VIC
tins this afternoon. While services were
being held outside st. Joseph's church,
about 1000 OF the foreigners were con-
rreEated about the door. A number OF
them raised their voices and II Is de-
clafed by eye witnesses that a police

ing looks and clinched fists. Word wat
Immediately carried indoors to the Rev.
Father Aust. He hurried out to the
door and bundled the men who seemed
most quarrelsome into the church.
few words OF counsel to the others pre-
vented further demonstrations.
Trouble Is in the air and IL II Is to come,
the time will be tomorrow morning.
This is clear from the words used to-
night by General Goblin. commander of
the Third brigade. The striking miners
have made elaborate preparations for
demonstration at the funeral Of ten OF
the victims, which Is fixed for half past
10 o'clock In the morning. The military
authorities are determined that nothing
OF the kind shall be permitted, and that
from this time on there shall be no
marching of any character whatsoever,
whether during funerals or otherwise.
This resolution is not generally KNOWN
and the miners are going on with their
arrangements. General Goblin talked
over the telephone to Governor Hastlnga
for an hour or more this afternoon. He
said he had merely made formal report
to the governor, of the situation. 1t is
apparent, however, that the commander
IS not eheered by the immediate outlook,
although he says he thinks there will bd
no further turbulence, he would not say
when the troops are likely to be with.
drawn, and he has resolved to act win
the utmost vigor.
A startling Aspect.
Furthermore, he made revelation
which puts a startling aspect upon the
situation. This was that the house OF
the engineer of No 3 collIery had been
broken into late last night by six masked
men and the engineer, who Is cripple,
numerically beaten. There is no clue
70 the identity of the nssallants. The
only work the man has been doing late
ly, is the pumping necessary to free tho
mine from water.
The general had also received formal
report OF the Audenreld outrage OF last
Thursday night, when strikers broke
into the house Of Conner Jones, superin'
tendent OF the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
Coal Company. Jones, whose unpopu-
larlty with the miners was one OF the
first causes OF the strike, was not there
but the men Utterly wrecked the interior
OF the house and then attacked mino
power house, nearby, and stole therefrom
quantity OF dynamite. As soon as he
heard Of this. Gen. Goblin assigned q
guard OF the Thirteenth regiment to re-
main at Audenreld.
The addition 20 the strikers ranks II
made, will be the men at Coxe's mines,
