The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1897-09-13

Haz elton. Pa, Sept 13 This ominous
date stood out on the calendar with con-
spicuous meaning when those who had
managed to steal any sleep awoke this
morning
All the indications last night pointed
to danger and that tho military authori-
ties realized that the aspect was gloomy
became apparent at an early hour today
The first official action Of tho day was the
closing OF all the liquor saloons until four
o'clock this afternoon.
This was done after q conference be.
tween Mayor Atmiller and General
Goblin. 1t was done because OF the
funeral of ten victims which were fixed
for this morning and the consequences
which might follow by the dispensing of
liquor among the excited populace.
When morning broke, many of the mill
tiamen began to make preparations to
leave their commands for the usual
promenade through the city. General
GoDin, however had in the meantime
issued further orders that ali passes were
discontinued for the present and that no
one could leave camp.
UGLY FEELING PREVAILS.
A very ugly feeling is prevailing among
the miners aud rumors of disturbance
Reached the city but could not be verified.
AS a result of Gen. Gobin's order to
the Polish priests and citizens. they met
him this morning at Brigade headquar-
ters. He told them that ho had no OBJ
lection TO the funeral procession but that
under no circumstances must there bv
anything about it in the nature of n
military procession or a demonstration to
show large mum bers.
Gen. Goblin is very much displeased at
the parade OF uniformed mon during yes
terday's funeral, and especially because
some of the men carried heavy sabres.
This will not be allowed today.
BIG CROWDS GATHER.
All along the line Of she funeral pro-
cession and in front of the church where
the services arc to be held and at the un-
dertaker's establishment. crowds of
miners and their wives began to gather
at AN early hour A persistent rnmor
was in circulation throus Aout the morning
that deputy sheriff had aeep hanged at
Latimer. a telephone message To that
hamlet brought the response that moth
ing Of the sort had occurred.
Up TO noon no trouble Of any sort had
developed, but the big funeral procession
had not yet gotten under way. What may
be called two branches of the main cor
tege had come in from Harwood. Not
withstanding General Gobin's order. one
OF these was hsadet by brass band.
CORpSES ON VIEW.
A great crowd os onlookers filled the
streets so thickly that only a narraw path
was left in the centre for the passage OF
the procession. There were fully 2000
men in this line. The second line carried
no band and IL moved TO the undertaker's
shop quietly.
Within lay exposed to view the corpses
of the eight Poles and the crowd was
permitted to pass in single flo through
tho front door of the shop and out at the
rear. The exposure Of the bodies To pub
lie view Il thought TO have boon unwise
Outside preparations were meanwhile un-
der way for starting the big parade.
Three bands were also waiting here with
tho members of st. .Ioseph's and Italian
Mutual Aid Societies wearing their re-
gala.
1t was learned that tho order of Gen.
Gobln, prohibiting strikers from carrying
bands hal not reached these parties from
the priests to whom he gave il, but before
10 became known by them, tho brigade
commander revoked 1t and gave permis-
SION for the musical accompaniment
Ihe miners seem Co be perfectly docile
and no trouble is anticipated unless some
thing unforeseen occurs.
