grave, in which all the bodies were IN
TERED There were brief services at the
grave, and several OF the oiergymen
made addresses. urging the miners to
maintain order and to remain quietly at
their homes.
General Goblin kept his word, IL the
priests did not keep theirs. During all
Of the march and the ceremonies there
was not sign Of a soldier. Brigade
headquarters presented a martial appear
ance, however and In the stock-yards
near the road were stationed a battery
and detachment of cavalry, ready TO
move on call. The usual camp discipline
was maintained. and no one was per-
mitted to pass any Of the lines without
pass from the commander.
SALOONS CLOSED.
Mayor Altmiller had been consulted. In
the mean time, and at General Gobin's s
order or suggestion. all the saloons In the
town were closed until o'clock this
afternoon. The Mayor has been kept
to his house for more than a week past
by an attack OF rheumatism. but the
grave developments induced him to hob
bic to his office to-day, and upon re-
ceipt of the message from the commander
he dispatched forces or ponce to see that
the order was enforced. 1t was, to the
letter.
There were two meetings Of miners at
Iatimer to-day. One was made up OF
Italians and the other OF Hungarians,
and addresses were made at both OF them.
Organizer Fahey. OF the United Mine
Workers, was present. but did not speak.
He will organize several branches II the
union later In the week
Sheriff Martin was closeted with Gene
raj Goblin at headquarters for several
hours to-day, but would not talk for pub
lication. He left for wilkesbarre later.
The deputies of that town have been
ordered to put up bond until they are
wanted, although they have not been ar
rested. This has been requested, as a
matter of good faith.
1t developed to-day that the No. 3
colliery. the crippled engineer OF which
was so badly beaten by masked men on
Saturday night, has been shut down since
long before the strike.
The gravity of the situation Is made
apparent from the thorough and rigorous
manner In which the commander Is hand
ling his men. The signal corps OF the
regiments have been stationed on hill-
tops about Hazleton and the surrounding
hamlets, where trouble is feared. SeVerai
are marked by tents. with men on the
lookout. The signalling was done by
flags. and worked successfully. The sta
tions cover distance of four miles. and
at the nearest point to Hazleton couriers
are stationed to carry reports to the
General About dozen soldier couriers
on bicycles have also done good work
They we're selected from among the men
accustomed to riding. and the wheels were
obtained here.
FUNERAL OF SUNDAY.
The funeral yesterday made spectacle
of tragedy that, humble as were the ac-
cessories. had in it something that was
extremely impressive. F'uta and urich
had lived I'm Harwood. and Yureck In
Humboldt, but when the Nocession was
started the latter party Joined the others.
and the cortege wound its way through
the mountain passes and the dusty lanes
into Hazleton and then into st. Joseph's 5
church, on the outskirts of the town,
where Father Aust and the Rev. DR..
Hauser held brief services.
At the head of the line there was a
brass band with mufiled drums, playing
"The Dead March" heavy mist had
crept over the hills; chill, drizzling rain
was falling. and the scene. backed by the
was weird and gloomy. There were only
a few carriages, but nearly one thousand
men were in line at one time or another,
and most OF them continued until the end.
After the first hearse, which was q
white one, containing the body OF young
Futa, came a closed carriage with a
man. two women, and two babies. Five
little ones. none apparently more than
or years old. were crowded into the
next with two men. On either side OF the
hearse three of the dead mans former
companions walked, with bowed heads.
There were the same details with the
other hearses. and after a dozen car
riages and grocery and beer wagons,
loaded with Hungarian women. came the
long line of walking men and boys,
marching slowly in double file. The MEM
bers of st. Joseph's Society were followed
by those of the Societa Italia Americana
di AIutuo Socorrso Fondata, who wore
badges bearing the words, I'm Memo
RAM" All these men wore the regalia or
their organizations-red, white, and blue
suits-and had badges of Grape pinned on
their breasts. There was man I'm the
centre of the band bearing a huge Nag,
draped so completely in Grape that its ma
tionallty could not be seen. The balance
of the line was made up Of grimy mine
workers. dressed in their best clothes.
The services over the body of Nike
Cheslok were held at Harwood where the
burial took place. The coffin lay In the
lower room OF the old frame shanty, the
bare beams Of the ceiling protruding
above. and the whole place r-eking Of
poverty and misery The coffin was
draped I'm a white sheet, and at its head
two candles burned. Between them rest
ed a crucifix. The funeral expenses are
all paid from the funds Of the benevolent
oncfeffQe named
