Of Funerals.
HAzLEros, Pa, Sept. 14.-All of the
indications last night pointed 10 a
proba bic outbreak ut the funerals OF
ten of the strikers killed by Sheriff
Martins deputies Friday and General
Goblin, commander OF the Third bri-
gade. now on duty here. assigned the
troops to cover every section where
there was danger Of trouble. All sa-
looms were closed and all passes to
soldiers were discontinued and no one
vas allowed to leave camp, but oil
were kept under arms.
General Goblin summoned the Polish
priests and leading foreigners to head.
quarters this morning and told them
that he had no objection TO funeral
PROFESSIONS, but that under no circum.
stances must there be anything about
them In the nature Of n military pro.
cession or q demonstration by large
numbers, nor could the marchers carry
flags, banners or side arms. or have
music in any form. General Goblin
was very much d~isplcased at tho
parade OF uniformed men during yes
tcrday's funeral, especially because
some Of the men carried heavy sabers.
All along the line OF the funeral
procession and In front OF the church
where the services were to be held
and at the u .dertakers' establish.
mcnt, crowds OF miners and their
wives began to gather early from all
the mining suburbs, while inside the
cditicc there was not an inch of space.
notwithstanding General Gobin's
order u large party from Harwood was
headed by n brass band which was
playing a funeral march, as the brig
ade headquarters was nearcd. A big
crowd filled the streets and there was
a buzz OF expectancy, but before the
headquarters was reached even the
muiiled drum beat had been silenced
and the line moved quietly on to the
undertaker's shop. where lay the
bodies OF the eight Poles. Tho mar.
row lane upon which this shop fronts
was crowded from curb to curb by
foreigners, but there was not the
slightest disorder and not q soldier
was in sight. Within lay exposed to
view the corpscs of the Poles and the
crowd was permitted to pass in single
file through the shop.
Outside preparations were mean
while under way for starting the big
parade. Three bands were in waiting
with the members OF st. Joseph's and
Italian Mutual Aid societies wearing
their rcgalia% II was learned that the
order Of General Goblin prohibiting
strikers from carrying bands had not
reached these parties from the priests
and before it became known to them
the brigade commander revoked them
and gave permission for the musical
accompaniment The Injunction
against the proposed meeting outside
the church was clearly understood and
1t is unlikely that any attempt will
be made to dispute II. The miners
seem to be perfectly docile and no
trouble Is anticipated.
Two of the wounded miners died in
the hospital last night, making the
total number Of dead now twenty
three. Several more of the wounded
are very low.
1t Is the purpose to acquire by SUBJ
scription sufficient funds to erect over
the grave of eight of the dead Poles a
monument bearing the names Of the
victims and q brief history of the
event
Feeling continues high against
Sheriff Martin and his deputies, aud
the intensity Of the situation Is such
that q sudden turn of the head or a
word spoken above the ordinary tone
brings n running crowd. The soldiers
are watchful and ready for any emer-
gency, and the people of the town are
in a state which may easily become
panic.
General Goblin talked over the .ele-
phone to Governor Hastings for an
hour or more yesterday afternoon.
He said he had merely made a formal
report to the Governor OF the situa.
ton. 1t Is apparent, however, that
the commander is not cheered by the
immediate outlook, although he says
he thinks there will be no further
turbulance. He would not say when
II troops are likely to be withdrawn
and he has resolved to act with the
utmost rigor.
PIrrsBURG, Pa, Sept. !A.-Early this
morning about twenty-five women and

vile road they encountered a posse of
deputies and were ordered back to the
camp.
No attempt was paid to the order
and the ONE tried to force their
way through the lines of deputies. A
