OF her it may be said: "She looked Weii

ate not the bread of idleness. 7"
AS she Z lay < peacefully in her casket'
covered with profusion of rosebuds and

looked SO lifelike, and youthful, it was
difficult to realize that her spirit had de-
parted, or that she had lived on the earth
for 20 years.
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. A. ii. Wright of the st. Lawrence
Congregational church.
Mrs. Knight has left in deep bereave

A SLIGHT DELAY.

Yesterday noon as the down town
workers came up the business streets tc
take the electrics for their homes for din
ner, the electric current gave out and the
cars came to standstill. The delay was
very brief, not over five minutes apparent.
". A casing on the governor of the try
engine became overheated and the engine
had to be stopped at once. But the com.
pany is always ready for such little
emergencies. The other big engine was
started and the cars started up, SO that
the delay was trivial.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-The prosecution
will rest it's case in the LSeigert trial
to-day, after three weeks given to the
presentation Of evidence against the
prisoner and four weeks spent in the
trial. The prosecution will close it's
case with some strong evidence tend
ing to prove the motive for the al
legged crime. The state will endeayor
to show that infatuation for Mary
Siemering, the servant girl in the
Luetgert house was the cause of tho
murder. 1t will be claimed that the
big sausagemaker desired to make the
girl his wife, and that he put Mrs.
Luetgert out of the way in order to
permit his marriage with the girl. 10
prove this theory Frank Bialk and
Frank Odorofsky, employees of Luet-
CERT, who have already testified in
the case, will be put upon the stand
and will give evidence relating to the
domestic affairs of Luetgert They
are expected to testify as to the fond
ness of Luetgert for Mary Siemering
and the indignant opposition to the
girls presence in the house made by
Mrs. Luetgert. The frequent visits Of
Mary Siemering to Luetgert in the
sausage factory at unusual hours of
the night will be detailed. Both men
will tell of seeing Luetgert chase his
wife upon one occasion with revol-
yer, and they will tell of threats which
they heard him make. With this evil

Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 19.-The strike
situation may be summarized thus:
Over 10000 men are still out, with no
apparent prospect of settlement; spO-
radio outbreaks of violence are occur
ring near the outlying collieries and
the withdrawal Of troops is not only
without consideration, but the guard
lines of several of the camps are being
constantly strengthened, and the wis
dom Of bringing more cavalry is being
discussed. 1t was said that if the SOL
diers are kept here much longer the
Sheridan troop of Tyrone, attached to
the Second brigade, will be ordered

III easy feeling prevails at headQuar-
tiers In consequence Of the little out
breaks of the past few days and the
Indication they hold of the underly-
ing disturbance. The brigade COM
mander admitted that the action of
the raid Of women was giving him
much perp]exity. He does not care to
use force against them and has in
structed the soldiers in case Of neces-
slty to use only the flats of their
sahers upon the Amazons. The story
reached the general that many men
were in the attacking party disguised
as women. The violent scene at Au-
denreid arose from another attempt to
start the Monarch and Star washeries
of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre COM
pany. About 100 men reported for
work at the former, when the wild
band of women swooped down upon
them, armed with sticks and stones.
Others were stationed on top of an
adjacent culm bank, whence they
showered missiles upon the would-be
workers, and a large body of men
and boys waited in reserve behind the
bank. The men promptly quit work
before and injury could be inflicted.
At the Star washery, where 100 of 135
men wanted to work, like assault
stoi,ped them.
Last night a body of strikers at Lat
timer No. 2 quarreled among them
selves and bloodshed was threatened
when Company X restored quiet. Dep
uty Coroner Bowman will begin the
inquest over the bodies of the dead
miners next Wednesday afternoon.
Over 100 witnesses will be examined.
Gen. Goblin will not interfere with to-
nights mass meeting unless highly
colored speeches are made. The only
change in the strike situation was the
return to work of the 500 men en-
ployed at Coxe's Beaver Meadow col
liery. The miners say that this Is
only temporary, and that if the other
Coke men at Drifton and elsewhere
decide at their meeting of next Mon
day to go out, the Beaver Meadow
men will join them.

LARGE BRITISH LOSSES.
Some Severe Fighting With the
MOhmunds in India.


Mohnunds in India.
Camp Anayat, Sept. 10. - Severe
fighting has taken place between the
Second brigade of Gen. Sir Bindon
Blood's division and the Mohmunds.
The British loss was 40 killed and
wounded. The brigade has moved
out to attack the Mohmunds in the
valley north Of the camp to punish
them for the assault Tuesday night
upon the force Of Gen. Jeffreys at the
foot of Pawat pass. The Bengal
Lancers found the enemy entrenched
on the hills about eight miles distant.
The Thirty-ffth Sikhs was ordered to
make the attack. The regiment was
supported by four guns Of mountain
battery and by six companies of Bluffs.
The Sikhs drove the enemy into the
hills. but eventually fell back upon the
bluffs before superior numbers. The
enemy then advanced against the left
flank, drove back the cavalry and sur
rounded a company of Sikhs. The
cavalry charged brilliantly and re-
lieved the Silks. ard the guides COM
ing up, swept the enemy back. The
force halted for some time, destroying
the enelny's towers and then retired.
A company of Sillhs on the hills to the
extreme right was hard pressed and
was running short Of ammunition
when the general officer commanding
moved the guides forward to their re-
lief, which was CALAMITY accomplished
The guides carried the wounded SlkhS
back and executed the withdrawal in
good order, though the enemy pressed
them hard. Darkness came on before
the force reached camp and the guides
with Gen. Jeffreys and his escort of
Bluffs became separated from the col
umn, which passed them in the gloom.
Gen. Jeffreys remained with the gurs
and took up position in a village.
