DR.. Thodorovitch has secured afi-
davits from a number Of the marchers
which look bad for the sheriff and his
deputies. They declare that they were
advised by the sheriff not to march
through Hazleton, and they followed
his advice. on arriving at the fatal
bend in the road near Lattimer they
again found themselves confronted by
the sheriff. this time backed by the
army of deputies. AS soon as they
reached the spot the affidavits declare,
Sheriff Martin stepped out and roughly
grabbed the foremost man by his coat
collar with his other hand he thrust
a revolver into his face and used
abusive language. The miner knocked
the sherffs revolver arm from in front
Of him and tried to wrench himself
from the officials grasp. Almost In
stantly, the affidavit says, the order tc
fire was given. The deputies were lined
up in a hollow square, the fourth side
of which was formed by the body OF
strikers This would possibly account
for the fact that so many were shot

asked if he had any warrants served

The fact that the consideration of the
tariff has reached to only few remain

it left the net losses generally small. The

Chicago.

Chicago. July G.--The supply of cattle
was large for Tuesday and there was
such slow demand that prices were not
very well maintained, though sales of
fat steers were largely 10c higher than
1T the close of last week. Native beef
steers sold at $3.S0d4.O0 for the poorest
dressed beef lots, up to S4.15M5.0O for
choice shipping and export cattle, with
Il few prime beeves going for S5.1OI5.15
The stockcr and feeder branch of the
market was rather animated at steady
prices. and the few lots of butchers stuff
sold satisfactory. 1t was "calf day." but
the demand was poorer than usual, and
despite a small supply prices for the best
calves were SOC lower. The sales of beef
cattle were at lower prices.
In hogs there was a further advance
of about DC. Sales were active early in
the day, at $3.1563.55 for an extreme
range for hogs and $2.25@3.55 for pigs
the market closing weak. The bulk of
the hogs sold at $3.50dS.52 IL.
In sheep the market was active and
firm, sheep being salable at $2O0d2.3
for inferior. up to $35OGI3.75 for choice
to prime focks. Lambs brought $500
MS35 for inferior to prime focks, the
proportion of lambs being again quite
large.
Receipts-Cattle. $500 head; hogs, H.

local receipts since Saturday were 611

Oats were firm, principally because OF
the strength in corn, although some in
dependent features of strength were
present. Shorts bought quite freely and
a fairly good business was done. The
provision market was quiet. The open.
ing was strong and higher in sympathy
with the firm hog market, but offerings
were so liberal tht the advance was soon
lost. Later the market recovered again
when corn made its final jump.
