An Injunction Served which the Miner,
Will Ignore.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Aug. 12.-The in
junction served by the New York 4
Cleveland Gas Coal Co., was read t.
President Dolan by adeputy this after
noon at miners headquarters. Mr..
Dolan who was writing at the time
scarcely stopped his work for more
than a second. and when the reading
was finished acknowledged it by merely
saying:
Thank you"
He says the injunction will not
change the miners campaign in the
least.
Ex-Nice-President Cameron Miller
came into headquarters shortly after
the reading Of the document to Dolan.
lie said the miners will continue. as
heretofore, using all lawful means pos
sible to keep men from working during
the struggle for better wages.
1t is the intention of the court to try
to ( restall the customary march in
the morning by going to the camp %
night and reading the injunction to
the campers. If this Is done the crisis
will be certainly reached at about four
o'clock in the morning as the strikers
appear determined to test their right
to carry out their usual programme.
1t is said that when the deputies do
start to enforce the injunction they
will be compelled to arrest every man
for contempt, and that as fast as the
men are placed in Jail others will be
brought into camp to take their places
and thus the deputies will be kept
busy making arrests until the jails are
overcrowded.
II is claimed by the strikers hat this
movement Of the company is only an
other plan for getting the militia on
the ground. When they find that the
miners will not obey the injunction.and
that the jails are becoming crowded in
this manner, it is expected that the
sheriff will adjudge that his deputies
l. re not sufficient to cope with the sit
uation and he will be constrained to
call out the militia.
This is the view of the situation
taken by the leaders of the strikers
now in the camps.
This evening the strikers at Plum
Creek held a meeting and voted unani-
mously to hold the fort, but not to re-
sist arrest. The resolutions say that
IL one man Is arrested they will have
To arrest all.

AMONG THE STRIKERS.

Z Crisis at Hand In the Pittsburgh DIE
tr,ct, Where - Far Reaching Injuuctton
Has been Issued by the Courts to Re
strain strikers from Assembling In Camps
and Marching to intimidst- Miners.
~PiTIsBURGH. Pa, Aug. l2.-Sweep-
ny and ~far-reaching injunctions now
igurc in the coal miners strike in the
Pittsburgh district. The develop
ncnts Of to-day tend to make the situa-
lion "A strained one and ii appears that
\ crisis is near at hand.
The strikers have demonstrated that
these assemblages, marches and mis-
sionary work have materially affected
the output of the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal Co.. while at the same
time public sympathy has been en-
listed in their cause.
The sheriff's proclamation, issued
two weeks ago, restraining the men
from assembling and marching. has
been "A dead-letter and the marches
have been continued daily. No dis
turbance of any kind has occurred, the
officials of the miners contriving
through the whole time to keep their
men within peaceful bounds.
The preliminary injunction issued
by Judges Collier and Stowe, now
brings the matter To the county courts
for settlement. The case will be
heard on Monday morning and the de-
cision is looked forward to with much
interest.
The miners and their officials claim
that they are keeping within the
law and have the right to assemble in
peace and demonstrate to the world
that they are being wronged by a ate
Of wages hat keeps them constantly
at the point of starvation; also that
they have a right to use their presence
and influence among men who are
initiating against their interests by
continuing at work.
The New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Co. on the other hand, assert thai the
marches and assemblages are unlawful
and "A menace To their employees, many
Of whom, they say. are willing to work,
provided the strikers remain away.
Looking at the matter from this stand
point. the company made its radical
move to-day in the courts e bring
about "A condition under which the
company can operate its mines.
If the strikers continue their marches
in the morning, as they say they will.
in defiance of the injunction. capiases
will be issued for the offenders on the
charge of contempt of court. Should
the injunction be enforced the strikers
camps around the DeArmitt mines will
soon be extinct.
The strikers, though excited over
the turn of events, are in no wise dis
heartencd.
Developments at Canonsburg are be-
ing watched closely. The avowed in
tention of the strikers to march to-
morrow morning, despite Judge Nc
llvaine's injunction. is expected to re-
suit in bloodshed, or the filling of the
county prison with the arrested min
ers.
The long talked-of demonstration
against the Westmoreland county
mines has been abandoned Ivy the
strikers after II days trial because OF
a lack of food. The attempt. it is said.
will be repeated o when ample pro-
visions will be carried along aud a
siege proclaimed and carried to q sue
cessful issue.

TR1NITY's NEW FONT,

Southport, Feb. 14.-The new memo
rial font presented by Mrs. Charles
Rockwell to Trinity church in memory
by Bishop Niles, who represented Bish-
op Williams upon the occasion. The
font, besides the sacred uses to which
it will be put and the hallowed associa-
lions that cluster about it as a memori-
al of one Of the loved ones Of the parish
who has passed on, is also of artistic
merit and beauty. The artist is Ed
ward Draske of Dresden, and is cut
from the finest marble. 1t is from the
famous work of Thorwaldson, now in
the museum of Copenhagen.
The design is an angel kneeling, hold
ing in her hand shell. The figure is
one of grace and thoughtfulness, com
bined with deep reverence and devo-
ton.
The suggestion that such memorial
be placed in Trinity church was made
to Mrs. Rockwell by Rev Mr.. Casky,
formerly rector of Trinity church.
Bishop Niles of New Hampshire, who
represented Bishop Williams upon this
notable occasion, conducted the service
and preached the sermon. A large class
was confirmed by the visiting bishop.
An elaborate program was rendered on
the occasion.
The new font arrived at the station
Thursday morning and was placed in
position in season for the very elabor-
ate dedicatory exercises that were ar
ranged to take place this morning.

ORANGE TOWN COURT.
Effort to Abolish the Tribunal Opposed
by Ohicials.

Ehort 10 ABOLISH the Tribunal opposed
by Ohicials,
A special town meeting will be held
in West Haven tomorrow evening to
take action in reference to the petition
now before the legislature for the abol-
ishment of the town court of Orange.
The officers of this court, Judge S. J.
Bryant, Prosecuting Attorney C. S.
Bush and Assistant Judge and Clerk
Robert e. Pardee, have distributed
about the town of Orange circulars in
which they set forth the advantages of
the present court over the old justice
system.
In regard to expenses, the circular
states:
AS nearly as can be estimated our
court, including the salaries of its Off
cials' mas cost at the rate of $21296 per
year more than the justice courts. This
is In part accounted for by the fact
that the town had no patrolmen last
year, so that less arrests were proba-
bly, made than would have been the
case had there been the usual force on
duty. Since our court was established
II has disposed of 331 cases. Besides
these, a great number have been kept
out of court which, under the justice
system, would undoubtedly have been
brought. Whenever the offence was
trivial in its character or a merely
technical violation of the law, the pros
eeuting attorney has tried, as far as
possible, by warning letters and other
means, to serve the ends of justice and
at the same time to save from expense
class in the community who could
least afford to bear it.
Had the opposite course been pur
sued the court would have made more
money, but would have laid itself open
to the charge of working for revenue
rather than justice and the town might
have been saved slight expense by
taking money from the pockets of the
Ipoor and needy. We have not believ-
ed that our fellow citizens desired this
to be done.
This brings us to a comparison be-
tween our present court and the justice
system, to which you are asked to re-
turn. In doing this we do not intend
to attack any one personally, but feel
at liberty to call your attention to the
evils of the justice system, one that an
swers well enough In rural commune
ties where there are a dozen or two vi
olations of the law in the course Of n
year, but in large and growing places
like ours it has proved curse instead
of benefit, and is being rapidly sup
planted by town and borough courts,
with salaried officials.
