the Strike Situation.

HAzLETOE, Pa, Sept 1.-THE strike
situation reached a terrible crisis on
the outskirts of LatimeF yesterday
afternoon, when band of deputy
sheriffs fred into a mob Of Hungarian
miners, The men fell like sheep and
the excitement has since been so in
tense that no accurate figures Of dead
and wounded can be obtained. Re-
ports run from is to 20 odd killed and
40 or more wounded. One man who
reached the scene last night counted
Is corpses. Four other bodies lie in
the mountains between Latimer and
Harleigh. Those whowere not injured
carried their dead and wounded friends
into the woods. and estimate is bafied.
The strikers left Hazleton about $3.50
o'clock this afternoon, and it was their
Intention to go to Latimer. As soon as
this became known, a band Of deputies
was loaded on trolley car and went
whirling across the mountain to the
scene where the bloody conflict fol-
lowed. After reaching Latimer, they
left the car and formed into three com
panies. Sheriff Martin was in entire
command, and stood in the front of the
line until the strikers approached.
They were seen coming across the
ridge, and Martin went out to meet
them, The men drew up suddenly,
and listened in silence until he had
once more read the riot act. This fin
ished, low muttering arose among
the foreigners, and there was a slight
movement forward. Perceiving this,
the sheriff stepped toward them and.
in a determined tone, forbade ad-
vance. Some one struck the sheriff,
and the next moment there was a com
mand to the deputies to fire,
The guns of the deputies instantly
belehed forth terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very noun
tains, and a cry of dismay went up
from the people. The strikers were
taken entirely by surprise, and as the
men toppled and fell over each other,
those who remained unhurt stampeded.
The men went down before the storm
Of bullets like tenpins and the groans
Of the dying and wounded filed the
air The excitement that followed
was simply indescribable, The depu-
ties seemed to be terror-stricken at the
deadly execution of their guns and,
seeing the living strikers fleeing like
wild, and others dropping to the earth.
they went to the aid of the unfor-
Inmates whom they had brought down.

ers which looked formidable, yester-
day passed of without serious disturb

still wear such an uncertain aspect,
however, that Gen. Goblin declares
that the removal of the troops or any
portion of them has not been contem-
plated. The strike itself is spreading
with great rapidity. Exact estimates
Of the number of the men who have
quit work are hard to obtain, but con

character and the great majority of
the men are doeile. The first city
troop Of Philadelphia which was dis
patched at an early hour yesterday
morning to the scene of the reported
outbreak at Eckley found nothing for
it to do when it reached that place
about one o'clock in the afternoon.
Several hundred miners from Buck
Mountain marched on the Eckiey
mines the previous night and brought
out the men there. A few of the men
who showed a disposition to continue
work were roughly handled and the
mine superintendent, fearing trouble,
wired to Gen. Goblin for troops.
MINERS REsUMING AROUND PITTSBURGH.
PITTSBURGH. Pa, Sept. ia large
number of mines in the district started
yesterday and a still larger number
will be in working order to-day. At
least 5000 of the rail miners will be at
work by this evening and quite a num-
Der of river diggers will also resume.
President Patrick Dolan yesterday met
the men of the Wheeling division at
Finleyville, He made a speech to /,
900 of them at the Hacket mine. He
did not commit himself to the men
as he had done to the operators as to
the ten-day clause, but as a re-
suit they unanimously agreed to
start work to-day. With the excep-
ton Of the Anderson mine all of them
will be busy while the convention is
being held in Pittsburgh. Everything
is in an uproar there. The operators
are telegraphing for cars and they
want men-all they can get at 65 cents.
]. E. Boyle, of the Hacket mine, says
that his mine will be working full to-
day. The Keeling Coal Co.'s mine at
Lick's run was working yesterday and
six cars of coal were gotten out. This
is the first break over the ten-day
clause in any considerable numbers
and Dolan did not object.

scene in the district court by refusing
to return verdict which the court had
directed. It was in the case Of the
county against ex-County Treasurer
Hollis bondsmen to secure an alleged
shortage.of $751; The case had been
previously reversed by the supreme
court and Judge Thomas ordered the
jury to find for the county. The jury
as whole refused, declaring that it
was a matter Of conscience in which
they could not permit the court to in
terfere. The court was inclined to
think the jury in contempt, but as they
positively refused to sign the verdict
the court ordered the clerk to make
the record show that the verdict was
really returned by the jury. The de-

The practice of a judge ordering juries
to bring in a verdict was never before
