dispatched a staff officer and detail
Of men to the cemetery, but when they
reached there the services were over
and the mourners had dispersed.
1.-The priests gave me their sacred
promise that no arms should be carried
or military uniforms worm said Gen.
Goblin. I'm moments when spark
might result in the wholesale loss OF
life and property, it seems to me that
such things should not be permitted.
If l had the slightest idea that their
promise would be broken, a troop OF
cavalry would have been there within
few moments"
The General said that he would de-
mand an explanation from the clergy
men.
AS a matter of fact there was little
change in the programme arranged by
the miners for to-day's funerals. There
were twelve in all, but two proceeded
from Harwood direct to the cemetery,
without regard to the other ten, who
united in one extensive cortege.
Eight of the bodies lay in the shop
Of Undertaken BONN, in Hazleton,
where they were viewed by great
crowd for couple Of hours before the
procession started. Meantime the 9TH
er two lines were toiling over the rug
ged mountain roads leading from Har-
wood. The bands which led the line
beat mournful tattoo, and, follow
Bile file of miners.
When the start from the shop to the
cemetery was made the collins contain

carried, each by ten miners in the rega-
liza of the st. Joseph Society, and the
line proceeded to the church. A crowd
of fully 5000 damned the streets in the
immediate neighborhood, but there was
no disorder of any kind. The plat
form, originally intende for the street
in front of the building, had been erect
ed before the altar and here the ten
collins were laid, while Father Aust
and number of Polish priests cele-
brated pontilfifical high mass.
In the meantime a gang of miners in
the cemetery were blasting rock to
make space for large circular grave,
in which all the bodies were inferred.
There were brief services at the grave,
and several Of the clergymen made adj
dresses, urging the miners to maintain
order and to remain quietly at their
homes.
Gen. Goblin kept his word, if the
priests did not. During all of the mrach
and the ceremonies there was not a
sign of sodier
Mayor Altmiller had been consulted
in the meantime, and, at Gen. Goblin g
order Of suggestion, all the saloons in
town were closed until O'Clock this
afternoon.
The gravity in the situation is made
apparent from the thorough and vigor-
Gus manner in which the commander
is handling his men. The signal corps
of the regiments have been stationed
on hilltops about HaZelton and the sur
rounding hamlets where trouble is
feared. a %s@yN
Tomorrow unless the developments
OF Tonight necessitate change, Gen.
Goblin VIII send company details to all
the surrounding country to remain
there in event of trouble.
The record-breaking time made by
the militia in reaching the ground has
had more to do with subduing the for
eign element than is generally known.
They were often given to sneering at
the UNITED States army and the spec
tacle offered has dumbfounded them.
The first call for troops went out at 9
o'clock Friday night and at the next
morning the Ninth regiment was al
ready camped on the ground
Over ninety-fve per cent of the bri-
