for and that if such slaughter is not
murder in law it surely must be before
high heaven. That we denounce
such action by the Sheriff and his
deputies as cruel and willful and
cowardly murder.
"We place ourselves before the bar
of public opinion and appeal to the
good citizens of this State and county
and ask them if there was justification
or warrant in such assassination.
"Resolved, That we extend our
sympathy to the friends and relatives
of those who have fallen and pray to
God that those now dead will live IN
our memories as martyrs to the cause
of down-trodden labor"
THE TROOPS ARRIVE.
The incoming of the State troops
which began at an early hour Satur-
day morning, served to COW the
strikers and their sympathizers, and
no further demonstration was made
than the gathering at street corners
of knots of men and women in mutter-
ed but intense discussion of the shoot
ing. There are fully a5oo soldiers
camping in the town.
The first to arrive was the Ninth
Regiment, under Colonel Dougherty,
from Wilkesbarre. Then came the
Thirteenth, under Lieutenant-Co,o
Mates; the Fourth, under Colonel
Case the Sixth, from Lebanon; the
Twelfth, from Wllliamsport Battery
B., from Phoenixville the Governors
Troop, from Harrisburg, and the City
Troop, of Philadelphia.
PUBLIC OPINION.
This generally condemns in the
most severe terms the action OF the
deputies Friday night. "Officlal mur
der" is the phrase used by many, be
cause the deputies carried Wincheste
rifles, each man having twelve round
OF ammunition, each revolver and
box of cartridges, while the striking
marchers were defenseless, having
unanimously surrendered whateve
, weapons they may have had befor
the march was begun. Moreover
many of the victims were shot throug
the back.
Many other people scout this ide
and say that the only way to sto
rioting is to shoot.

SUPPOSED MURDER.
The LiieIess Body Of Bent Cole Found in
His Mothers Barn at Benton.

The village Of Benton with its
population of about one thousand was
thrown into great fit of excitement
on Sunday morning over the discovery
of the dead body of Bent Cole, young
man aged about twenty-five years,
lying at the foot of the steps in his
mothers barn with gaping bullet
hole In his stomach.
Young Cole was last seen alive on
Friday. He came down to Blooms
burg on that day, and went home on
the up train in the evening. After he
arrived home he was seen in the store
of Alfred McHenry; that was the last
seen of him alive. Where he went to
after he left the store, no one is able
to say.
The body was found by J. F.
Wright, brother-in-law of the dead
man. There were no signs of a strug.
gle, and it is the universal opinion o.
the people that he had met with foul
play, that he had been murdered
somewhere outside and his body
C ''ried into the barn, to prevent dis
covery.
A. w. Wilkinson, Justice of tbs
Peace, empanelled jury consisting
of George Yost, C. L. Davis, w. H
Smith, S. S. Harvey, ]. d. Fullmer,
and ID. E. Keeler. They made 6
thorough examination of the body
and the premises, and after hearing
what evidence there was concerning
the case rendered verdict that the
young man had met his death by {
gunsho. wound in the stomach by the
hand or hands of some person or per
sons unknown.
Young Cole was son Of Georg'
Cole, who died last fall. He livec
with his widowed mother, and wa
employed as a section hand on th'
Bloomsburg & Sullivan Railroad.
1t was rumored on Monday that ;
man suspected of having committed
the crime had boarded the early trail
for Bloomsbury. This however wa
.ound to be untrue.
There are many theories or clue
advanced, but if the case is one c
murder as it is generally supposed t
> be, the murderer, whoever he is, ha
0 all appearance effectually covere
up his tracks.
{ The funeral took place from tn
home at two O'Clock, Monday afte
noon.

Prof. Coles of Kingston, in his
Storms and Signs, for September,
makes the following representations:
"Strange phenomena will occur in the
heavens this month and several awe
inspiring sunrise and sunset scenes.
A very pretty sight will be that of
Venus and the moon within two
degrees of each other in the early
morning on Thursday, the 2Sd instant.
There will be several fine meteoric
displays and the falling of one large
meteor to the earth. Strange phe-
nomenal electrical displays, caused by
the magnetic current, will cause con-
sternatlon in some localities. On the
cad the sun enters sign Libra and
autumn then begins. Earth now being
in the Heaven of Religion may
cause religious wars, terrible massa-
cres, riots and panics."

Considerable interest is being
manifested as to what plan has been
adopted to maintain base ball club
in this city next season. The plan is
this: To issue shares worth twenty
dollars to subscribers. Those pur-
chasing shares can pay the one-twen-
tieth part every week from October
u.sil March I. From assurances al
ready given, and judging by the num-
Der of supporters who hold guarantee
tickets this season it is believed that
from 100 to SO shares will be taken
If this belief is realized, there viii
have been paid into the treasury by
March I from $4,000 to $4,000. This
sum, with the gate receipts, will sup
port club next season without any
further soliciting. To ascertain how
many will take shares, solicitors vii
probably make the rounds next week
or shortly after, and will interview ou
citizens. If the proper assurance
are given, an organization of share
holders will be effected about Octo
Der l."
1t is likely that Milton will adop
the same method.
