HAzIEToN, Pa, Sept. l3.-The situa-
ton here last night was graver than it
has been at any time since the bloody
ARRAY of Friday afternoon. There is
strong reason to fear conflict between
the strikers and the military to-day,
and there is an indication that from
5000 to 1000 more miners will join the
malcontents. 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 running crowd. The soldiers
are watchful and ready for any emer-
gency and the people of the town are
in state which may easily become
panic.
To all intents and purposes Hazleton
Is under martial law. Gen. Goblin de-
clared last night that in spite of the
warrants issued no constable or civic
authority will be permitted to arrest
the deputies. He said that the sheriff
is an executive officer whose duty is to
preserve the peace and he, Goblin, and
the troops are really subordinate to
the sheriff at this time, being engaged
in helping him to perform that duty.
Under these circumstances he will not
permit interference with the sheriifs
officials so long as the militia is here.
In spite of this fine distinction, the
commanders decision on this point is
accepted as superseding the civil au-
thoritv hv the militarp nnwas.

evening indicated an alarming condi.
ton there. The remotenesss of the
situation will make difficult the secur-
ing of definite news from the scene.
The first knowledge of disturbance at
the Coke collieries reached brigade
headquarters yesterday morning. when
Gen. Goblin received a dispatch that
200 miners at Buck mountain, three
miles from Eckley, had gone on a
strike and begun to march on the
Eckley mine. Request was made
for detachment of the mill
tary to avert possible conflict
but before the soldiers could
be started off to the scene the authori-
ties were treasured by the receipt of a
second telegram to the effect that the
march had been stopped and no fur
Their trouble was feared. Late in the
afternoon third dispatch changed
the situation for the worse. 1t said
that the march had been resumed and
carried to the Eckley mines; and that
the men there had been forced TO quit
work, after rough handling by the
marching men. The city troop, of
Philadelphia, the crack cavalrymen,
were instantly ordered to proceed to
Eckley. To reach the spot they will
have to ride over IS miles of rough
mountain roads, The news has created
CONSERVATION throughout the district
and all the collieries are preparing for
trouble.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept l4.-Emma
Haas, the miners Joan of Arc, and
three other women were arrested for
marching at Plum creek yesterday
morning by sheritf's deputies. The
attempt to make the arrests precipi-

deputies Jared badly No one was seri-
ously hurt, but scarcely a deputy
escaped a clubbing and Superintendent
Sam DeArmit was cut on the hand.
Two of the women arrested carried
babies. The riot was the result of a
carefully planned attempt to prevent
the men at work at Plum creek from
entering the mines. There were %
women and about 80 strikers con-
cerned in it The plan was to have
the women march in front with their
babies, with the design of working on

good; they never did anything wrong;
that is the way they look at their lives.
Have you ladies husbands who never
did anything wrong? If you have, L
pity you. If every one in this audi
ence had their sins pasted on their
foreheads they would put on their
hats and get out Of the meeting as
quick as possible. In the case of the
elder brother who would not recognize
his prOdigal brother who had Strayed
from home and spent his substance
in riOtous living, he was too good to
have anything to do with his repent
ent brother, as he says: This thy
son. and does not call him his broth
er. When such people as the elder
brother get into heaven, they will be
given a little harp all by themselves
in remote corner of heaven, as they
would refuse to recognize Mary Mag
dalene, who had devils cast out of her,
and the thief who was crucified on the
cross and forgiven by the dying Sa-
vior as they had never had anything
to do with such people here on earth
and were not going to associate with
them in heaven. The elder brother
made himself miserable by his pride
and conceit, and the prodical man
led away by his appetite and lusts.

MANCHESTER MARTYRS.
Story of the Event of Which This
Is the Anniversary.

This is the anniversary of the Man
chester martyrs so-called by Irishman
and their friends the world over, who
understand the case and commemorate
the day. AS the years roll around the
story of the sad affair is told in brief
in the following lines and contributed
by a patriotic Irishman in the employ
of this paper: Thirty years have pass
ed away since on the morning of Nov.
z3, 1867, in the city of Manchester, Eng
land, three Irishmen, William P. Allen,
Michael Larkin and Michael O'Brien,
paid with their lives the penalty of a
deed Of desperate daring in the cause
of Ireland. In 1865 and for some years
after the British empire found Itself
face to face with another development
of Irish determination to overthrow it's
rule in Ireland. This movement be-
came a powerful one aided as it was
by a large section of the Irish race in
America, thousands of whom had, in
the Civil war, became skilled soldiers,
and Ionged for the opportunity of strik-
ing a blow for their native land. Among
the Irish-Americans who went to Ire
land in 1857 to take part in that iris
ing" which had been planned and con-
fidently expected to come in the fol-
lowing spring, were Col. Thomas j.
Kelly and Capt Deasy. The rising
was attempted, but the attempt was
crushed England had in Ireland an
armed force of, 10000 men. With such
a force with the might of an empire
behind it, success for the brave Irish
men was impossible. The result was
that hundreds Of .Irishmen were arrest
ed on mere suspicion in Ireland and
England. Among them Kelly and
Deasy, who Were arrested in Manches-
ter on Sept.i Is, 1857. They were placed
in the dock and charged with high
treason. - They were. of course, re-
manded for trial, and it was while re-
moving them from the police court to
