Miners Assaulted by Strikers at
Heidelberg--Supt. Owens Orders
His Men to Right About and Dis
perse--Eight Members of the Mob


Arrested.
Wilkes Barre, Oct. 1.-The strike at
Heidelberg colliery, No. 2, of the Le-
high Valley Coal company, near Pitts
on, assumed serious aspect today,
when force of men whom Superin-
tendent Owens was leading to work,
were assaulted by mob of sixty Pol
sh and Hungarian strikers.
The colliery had been idle for a week
FOR ten days, owing to the strike. Oper-
ations in the other collieres of the
same company thereabout have also
been idle for three or four days on
account of scarcity of cars. Today
was the day set by Superintendent
owens for a resumption of work at
!. No. 2, and last night he quietly select
ed force of English-speaking miners
to go into the mine this morning for
that purpose. They assembled quite
early, thinking no doubt they could
begin work before the foreign strikers
i learned of their intention, but in this
Il they erred, for when Superintendent
HOWens and his men We're on their way
to the colliery they were met by the
strikers, each of whom carried a pick
Ehandle. club or other similar weapon
When the Owens force neared the strik-
ers they were received with fusilade
of stones, sticks and other missiles,
many of which struck the miners.
Superintendent owens is among those
injured, but his injury is not a serious
one.
The superintendent fearing that
some serious trouble and perhaps
bloodshed might result in case he per-
Bisted in marching his men to the
works, ordered them to right about
and they were subsequently dispersed
While the shower of missiles was at
is height the superintendent recog-
bized several of the offending strikers
md he went at once before Squire
1hret, swore out warrants for their
lrrest and they We're in a short time
Later taken into custody.
Ignatz Polan, Anthony Gedwich, An
hony Shinko, simon Bennatis and
phn Rose, five of the rioters, were ar
sted and given a hearing this after
bon before Squire Ehret. Attorney
rank Wheaton represented the Le-
Eigh Valley Coal company and sew
eral witnesses testified to the trouble,
1 Smko was held in $1,5OO bail and the
others in 1900 bail each for their ap-
pearance at court.
The men were sent to the West
oittston lookup pending their furnish
kng bail.

SPECIAL TRAIN SERVICE.
How Great Newspaper Overcomes
Time and Distance.

IUDc anu
The publishers of the great Philadel-
phia Sunday Press have chartered a
special train which, beginning next
Sunday, October 3, will deliver The
Sunday Press to all points along the
Lehigh Valley railroad and it's con-
nections ahead Of all competitors and
from e-and-a-half to five hours
earlier than heretofore. This special
train service will enable your news
dealer, if you live at Allentown or
Mauch Chunk, for instance, to leave
The Sunday Press at your door long
before you are ready to get out of bed,
and if you live at Wilkes-Barre or
Scranton you can have The Sunday
Press with your breakfast instead of
waiting until nearly noon. At all other
points the same relative gain in time
will be made.
The Philadelphia Sunday Press has
always been one of the greatest of
Sunday papers, and new features are
being constantly added. You will make
a mistake if you do not direct your
newsdealer to serve you with The Sum
day Press regularly hereafter. W.

IN ADMIRALTY.
Case of the Lizzie May Before Judge
Webb.

J An interesting case was on trial before
Judge Webb in the United States district
court Saturday forenoon. 1t was that OF
Capt VIM. Harrow of Rockland against the
schooner Lizzie May, of which Capt.
William II. Fernald of Gouldsboro is the
master and which is now lying in Rock
land.
Both parties admit that the vessel was
built in 1885, and it is of Al tons or there
abouts. Capt. Farrow owns three-eights
of the vessel, and Capt. Fernald the re-
mainder.
Hon. George E. Bird appeared for the
| libellant, and Benjamin Thompson for
the respondent.
| The libellant in his writ recites that
Capt. Fernald has been employing the
vessel in the coastwise trade and that the
libellants disapproved of this and as he
believed that the schooner was not in a
suitable condition, he was unwilling to
be held liable. He accordingly prays that
warrant of arrest be issued against the
respondent to show why the vessel shall
not be detained at Rockland until securi-
ty shall be given the libellant.
Several expert witnesses were examined
by each side. The witnesses for the re-
spondent stated that the vessel was worth
anywhere from 5000 to $500, while Capt
Farrow said that she was worth $500. VI
The court asked Capt. Fernald what
the vessel had cost and the, captain re-
piled that it was $780,
After hearing the evidence and argu-
ments, Judge Webb said that the case was
peculiar. From the time the vessel was
built, Capt. Fernald has been her master
almost always. This libellant during the
time has bought into her. The COM
plaint on the part of Capt. Farrow is that
the managing owner has not made salts
factory expenditures in keeping up the
vessel.
He has right to his security and the
court cannot refuse it. The bond could
have been secured by friendly negotia-
tions, yet in this case efforts to that end
would have been1 useless on account of
the very wide discrepancy of views as to
the worth--of the. vessel. The libellant is
doubtless very largely responsible for the
cost of bringing this case to court
ga liberal value for this vessel would
be $780, said the court, "and I decree
that the major owner shall give bond
to the minor owner for three eighths of
that sum for her return to Gouldsboro on
November Is of the present year in as
good condition as she now is. Notice of
her return to be mailed by registered
letter to the libellant at Rockland.'
As to the question of costs, the Hbellant
is allowed one-half.

A NAVIGATING SHARK.
Shot Near Richmond's Island Friday AT
ternoon.

Last Friday afternoon while Mr.. M. G.
Jordan of Willard was out in his fishing
boat near Richmond's island, which is
inst outside the Cape lights. he saw large
fish in the water short distance away
Mr.. Jordan, who is true sportsman,
wanted to find out what kind of a fish it
was and Immediately steered his boat in
the direction of the monster. In few
moments the boat was near enough for
Mr.. Jordan to see the fish plainly, and
having a Winchester repeating rife on
board he determined to try the effect of
shot at the fish, which he discovered to
be large shark. Taking careful aim
at its head he fired and the bullet went
straight to the mark, severely wounding
the shark, which made quick turn in
the direction of the boat and showed fight
Mr.. Jordan quickly put four more shots
into the monster, some of which found
vital spot, for in few moments his
sharkship rolled over dead, dyeing the
surface of the water with his gb1ood. Mr..
Jordan made rope fast to the body and
towed it to Richmonds Island, where it
was found to be regular man eating
shark, about 10 feet long and weighing
nearly 1000 pounds, with formidable
looking pair of jaws, capable of swallow
ing good-sized boy.
These sharks are very rare in this vi
entity and they are seldom seen on the
Maine coast. The shark was put into a
boat and Saturday afternoon towed to
Simonton's Cove, where it was viewed
by large number of people. The fish
will probably be kept at the cove for
several days. Mr.. Jordan is proud of his
catch. and well he may be, for it is not
many men who would have the courage
to attack monster like this single hand
ed and alone.
