HAzLEroN Sept IA, p. m.--There is a
decided change in the strike situation at this
writing, and to the casual and fair-minded
observer it must seem evident that by the
end of the week the trouble will in most
cases have been satisfactorily adjusted, and
the only vestige of the shooting that will
remain will be the memory of it.
Everything is as quiet as it possibly can be
and business has assumed comparatively
normal state. The excitement that has
prevailed for several days is on the wane and
the friends Of the bereaved are becoming
more pacifed But the determination to
prosecute the sheriff and his deputies is just
as great as ever, and as soon as tho evidence
is all gathered in and the result of the
Austrian Consul's investigation made known,
proceedings will be commenced.
Fortunately there mere no deaths at the
hospital yesterday or to-day, and the condi-
tion of the remaining victims is somewhat
improved, but the death roll will in all prob
ability be increasee by the latter part of the
week, as the condition of five of the men is
such that they may rally one day and expire
the next.
The South Side, which for weeks has been
the hot-bed of the wage-strife, is gradually
recovering its normal condition. The Le-
high & Wilkesbarre coilieries rs well as
Beaver Brook colliery, were to resume work
to-day, but this program has been changed.
The Audenried mines have been the scene
of much mechanical activity owing to the
water having attained depth of few feet
on Saturday because of a lack of steam, and
the men refused to furnish supply coal for
the boilers until everything was settled On
this account the fires had to be dampened,
causing the steam to gradually lower and
the water to rapidly rise. The adjustment
of the difficulty only prevented the slope
from being drowned. All the lOkies were
out yesterday and as many men as could be
secured replenishing the stock of buckwheat
coal for the boilers.
Nothing as far as is known, has developed
at any of the other South Side collieres now
on strike. but the prospects of favorable
settlement have grown brighter during the
past few days.
A monster meeting Was held last evening
at MeAdoO and 1t was unanimously decided
to remain idle to day TO attend the funerals
of some more Of the victims. Among these
is that of Cameras Plodak, Polish victim,
who was removed from the hospital to the
home Of his brother in McAdOo on the Sab
bath evening after expiring from the effects
of his wounds,
The feeling among the foreign element is
bitter, and it is likely that more than one
will suffer, as they have quietly instituted
boycott among themselves against those
who have been heard to sanction last Fri
days work, Several of these withdrew their
deposits from one Of the banks yesterday,
and it is said that many of the others will
follow very shortly.
A. J. Van Wickle's collieries at Milnes-
vile and Coleraine commenced operations to-
day They were idle yesterday in order to
give all those who desired to do so an Op-
portunity to attend the funerals of the
killed marchers. Perfect harmony now
reigns among the men employed at these coll
lieries, and they, as far as can be learned, are
anxious to return to work.
Cuyle's strippings, at Halle Mines which
were idle since Saturday, also resumed opera
tions this morning.
Reports received up to noon to-day show
that the majority of the cOllieries in this re-
gion resumed operations this morning and
have continued operations without any indi-
cations of trouble. Everything is approach.
ing normal stage and the era of excitement
appears to be ending.
The funerals of four more victims took
place this morning
