TIE TwENTY.THrRp VICTIM.

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 12-The situa-
tion here tonight is graver than it
has been since the bloody arffay FRI
day afternoon. There is strong
reason to fear a conflict between the
strikers and the military tomorrow
and there is an indication that from
5000 to 1000 more miners will join.
the malcoLtents.
Feeling continues high against
Sheriff Martin and his deputies, and
the intensity of the situation is
such that sudden turn of the head
or a word spoken above the ordinary
tone brings a running crowd. The
soldiers are watchful and ready for
any emergency, and the people are in
state which may easily become
panic.
Clement Ploplslack, aged thirty
three years, one of the strikers who
was injured in Fridays riot, died late
tonight, making the twenty-thiTd
death.

VICTORIOUS PATRIOTS.
seriesof Important Captures BY cuban
Armies.

Havana, via Key West, Sept. r.
The sensation caused by the news of
the capture of Victoria de Las Lunas
by Gen, Garcia was not yet over in
Havana when another report came
which made the loyal Spaniards in
the capital SILVER.
The important town of Consolation
del Sur, in Pinar del Rio Province,
was attacked three days ago by the
insurgents and the whole garrison
composed of 200 volunteers from Ha-
vana, slain by the revolutionists. As
soon as the terrible work was done
the insurgents left the town. A
strong Spanish column which arrived
some hours afterward buried the
bodies of the volunteers. The insur-
gents did not do much damage to the
town, but destroyed a great tobacco
plantation in the neighborhood and
took away all the cattle.
The garrison of the town had been
marked for death by the insurgents
for long time. They were consid-
cred deserters from the Cuban army,
most of them being native Cubans,
who got good pay from Gen. Weyler
and were especially employed because
of their knowledge of the country, be
ing associates of the Spanish guerril-
las III raiding the Cuban hospitals all
around that neighborhood. The
town was taken by storm, the sudden
attack of the insurgents surprising
the garrison, which made but little
resistance.
Another train has been blown up
with dynamite by the insurgents be
tween Paso Real and Herradura,
Pinar del Rio Province. Seven Span
ish soldiers were killed and fifteen
wounded severely. Also six civil
guards were wounded and eight pas
sengers.
Near Vinalas, in the same province,
the Spanish battalion of San Marcial
had hot engagement on Thursday
last with the insurgents under Gen.
Juan Duucase, with heavy losses on
both sides. The Spanish com mander
however, reports only twelve killed
and twenty-nine wounded of his
troops. The Cubans claim to have
captured large amount of arms and
ammunition from the Spanish
In the two days bombardment of
Las Lunas, 1926 Spanish soldiers were
killed. The exact number of pris-
oners held by Gen. Garcia was only
seventy five. The garrison was com
posed of 500 men and not 300. AL
the garrison but the seventy. five held
for exchange were disarmed and pa.
rolled Immediately after the surrender
ing. The seventy-fve were ex-
changed for Cuban prisoners as has
been told. The forts destroyed by
the Cubans were twelve. Two Krupp
guns, 900 shells, $50 boxes of rifle
cartridges, l 900 rifles and provisions
enough to last his army one month
were captured by Gen. Garcia.

Murderous Assault Near Elmo.

Albert Smith, young farmer of
Elmo. was at work in his tobacco
patch Thursday afternoon when he
was attacked by man named
Pace, who picked a quarrel with him
and struck him with stick.
Smith was at work with his back
toward Pace, and was in a STOPPING
position, when Pace came up with a
club and dealt him several blows on
the head. Smith was left for dead in
the field, where he was found uncon.
scious some time afterward. Pace
fled, but was found later and his ar
rest attempted by Deputy Sheriff
r. z. Wilkins and Constable Nj. ID.

teen shots were exchanged, but with
out effect. Pace is yet at large.
Pace came to that locality last
spring and was employed upon the
plantation of John ID. Morrison,

What weather Prophts SAY.

Weather prophets, vino sometimes
prove to be good guessers, agree that
September will be a hot and dry
month throughout, and this far Their
predictions have proven true. A sharp
fall in the temperature is predicted
for this week, but this is to be fol.
lowed by warmer, unsettled weather
for the week to follow. Storms of de.
cided energy are booked for the
period from the 10th to the oath, with
cooler weather for few days Storms
of rain with possible snow and sleet
northward will probably follow the
opening days of October. Snow, a
cold wave and killing frosts in the
north may be looked for about the
10th.

Was Not a killing.

1t was rumored on the streets here
a few days ago that killing had &C.
Cured in the Longview neighborhood,
but this. was mistake. There was a
shooting, however, the particulars of
which are about as follows: Ralph
johnson and another negro named
Leavell, got into a quarrel, when
johnson pulled pistol and shot
Leavell in the side. At first it was
thought that Leavell was fatally in

around in day or two. johnson fed
and has not been heard from since.
1t is said that the fuss occurred about
a woman.

Yesterday morning Young John

to go to Madisonville to nominate
John. Among them were Hon. j. w.

Bradleyites, hove in sight, and when
they caught on to the Hunterite pro-

place. Just what was said is not
important but the outcome was
that the Feland movement, though
the delegates had the votes

OF course the result of it all was

tons were blocked by the coolest
kind of Chilcoot pass.

MASSACRE OF MINERS.
UNARMED WoRKMEN FORBIDDEN To-
TRAVEL THE PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
sixty OF Them Shot Down Like Dogs NJ
Deputy Sherifs-Twenty. odd Dead
and Others Dying.

Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE her
rible tragedy that has startled Da-
ton and once again stained the soil
of Pennsylvania with innocent blood
spilled by mercenaries occurred late
yesterday afternoon in the outskirts
Of Latimer, the mining suburb. ofthisa
city.
The strikers, to the number of $50,
left Hazelton at $3.50 o'clock yester.
day afternoon, announcing their in
tention to go to LatimeT. As soon as.
this became known, band Of depu-
ties loaded on trolley ear, went
whirling across the mountain to the
scene where the bloody conflict fol-
lowed. After reaching Latimsr they
left the car and formed into, three
companies under Thomas Hall ,. E. A.,
Hess and Samuel B. Price.
They drew up in a line at the edge
of the village, with fence and line
of houses in their rear. Sheriff Mar
tin was in entire command and stood
in front of the line until the strikers
approached. They were seen coming
across the ridge, and Martin went to.
meet them.
The men drew up and listened in
sullen silence until he had once. more
read the riot act This finished,
a low muttering arose among the
foreigners and there was slight
movement forward.
Perceiving this the sheriff forbade
them to advance. Some one struck
the sheriff. The next moment there
was a command to the deputies TO-
fire.
The guns of the deputies instantly
belcbed forth terrible volley.
The report seemed to shake The
very mountains and cry of dismay
went up from the people. The
strikers were taken entirely by sur
prise and as men toppled and fells
over each other those who remaiRed
unhurt stampeded.
Men went down before the stoEms
of bullets like tenpiDs and groans Of
the dying and wounded filled the air..
Twenty corpses lie to night in
| frame sbanties scattered about this
hilltop town. Forty manned wound
ed and broken figures toss on the,
narrow cots of the Hazelton Hospital.
OF these, it is almost certain that FIVE,
will be added to the death list before
another day dawns. Such was the
execution done yesterday afternoon,
by l02 Deputy Sheriffs upon about
$50 ignorant foreigners. whose arma-
ment is alleged to have consisted of
but two pen knives.
The situation tonight is intense, as.
the day was full of events and Incl
dents. The purpose these men had
in view when their march received its
tragic end was consummated. The
1900 workers at the Lattimer mines,
to whom they were bound in an EFFORT
to induce them to in the strikers
ranks, have laid down their picks and
sworn to do no mole work until all
the demands of the men at all the
mines in the district have been con-
coded.
Next importance was the issuance
of warrants this afternoon for the ar
rest of Sheriff Martin and the one
hundred and two deputies. These
were issued at the instance of the
United Hungarian Societies.

Chicago. Oct. bones again covered
the tables in Judge Tu,hill's court room
when the iLue,gert trial was resumed
his morning. Prof. Dorsey. in order to
re:ule DR. AlIport's statement that the
sta,e's so-called temporal bone is not a
temporal at all but several bones fused
together, brought with him a complete
human skull. Satchei's boxes and bags
were emptied of their grewsome con-
tents and when the osseous display had
been properly arranged. Prof. Airport
was again called TO the stand.
Handing the witness the states hu-
man iemur. Mr.. McEwen asked:
Can you tell me what process that
bone has gone through"
There appears a substance upon it
which would lead me to think it has
been subjected to great heat
This is considered an important ad-
mission. as it tends to confirm the states
theory that the bone had been thrown
into the furnace after it had been drain
ed o. lis contents.
Mr.. McEwen rendered the witness two
complete human temurs OF n male and
female and at the attorneys request the
professor lectured 10 the jury upon the
various points similar in the two. Traps
innumerable were laid for the witness.
One carefully laid plan tended t. con-
jradict Allport's statement that the
femur of the states exhibit could not
have been human. He described the
surface OF a human femur and made it
answer TO the most minute point for the
surface c. the femur OF the states ex-
hibi;.
Mr.. McEwen produced a complete hui
man skull and DR.. Airport explained
where the temporal bone was located.
He declared positively. however, that
the temporal vone exhibited by the state
had tHeen Ell; to unfairly Show the thick
ness OF it.
After adjournment. Mr.. McEwen said
Prof. Airport had identified one OF the
:emurs shown him as human, when. It Is
really the femur OF a gorilla.

SECURED HIS NOMINATION.
How a Kentucky Woman Campaigned
for Her Husband.

One OF the keenest and s%hrewdest poll
~ticians in Kentuck today is Mrs. James
b. Camp OF Louisville. Her ability to
direct and come out successful at the
end OF a campaign is recognized by all
of the state politicians, and when she
enters a fight few care to oppose her.
Mrs. Camp. until a few weeks ago, was
known socially only. She is the daugh>
.er of Judge w. b.. Hoke, who for 30
years was judge OF the Jefferson county
court. and comes of the oldest families
in the blue grass state.
Her methods OF campaigning are not
only unique but daring. She made her
reputation as a political worker in four
just over. Mr.. Camp was induced to en-
Ter for the democratic nomination for
tax collector. When he announced him
self as a candidate Mrs. Camp began a
political canvass Mat opened the eyes
o. The Louisville politicians. She visit
ed the factories and shook hands with
the men. who when the dinner hour
came. found a nice, wholesome dinner
spread for them. with a freshly tapped
key OF beer. She visited houses that
wsre building and talked to the men.
climbing high ladders to reach them.
She went into the slums and distributed
her husbands cards. She visited the
levee and talked to the roust-abouts.
