THE STRIKE AT HAZELTON.
tn Many Cases Miners DO Not Know What
They Quit For.

They Quit For.
Hazeton, Pa, Sept 17.-Orlginating
as it did in the petty disagreement be-
tween the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
company mule drivers and .heir en-
ployers, and having spread until it now
affects nearly 10000 men and most OF
the principal operators Of the middle
coal fields, this strike has been one Of
the most peculiar ever inagurated IL he
region.
The miners have no organization. In
many instances they do not know cS-
actly for what they struck except that
they feel that they have been unfairly
treated and that they want more pay.
IN so per cent. Of the Idle collerica thcy
are at less To say how much they
want and in such cases they have gait
work without even asking for an IN
crease.
Two hundred and fifty women made
more trouble Thursday morning than
the 10000 striking miners have vlu, ,ed
since last Fridays shooting. They
were the foreign women Of the McAdoo
and Audenried district. Armed with
clubs. rolling pins. pokers and any
weapons they could find, they invaded
the washeries which have hitherto been
working and forced the men, about 800
in number, TO quit work. AS the men
were husbands. sons, or brothers of the
women, in most instances they made no
resistance, although this is the first
successful movement to get them out.
In every other part of the region quiet
prevailed. The strike may now be said
TO be general, as there is not a colliery
of Importance in operation.

The 81. Johns struck the Catskill which
was heavily loaded with freight on the
starboard side thirty feet from the bow,
cutting a hole in the hull below the
water line. The crash extinguished the
lights on the Catskill and caused a
panic among the passengers, some of
whom dropped overheard. Great ex-
element also prevailed among the ex-
cursionists on the st. Johns.
When the steamboats, parted, the Cat
skill was turned toward the Jersey
shore while the crew of the ST. Johns
lowered small boats and rescued the peo-
pie struggling in the water. Just as
the Catskill neared the shore she filled
and went down on a mud bank. Sew
eral tugboats responded to the calls for
help and aided in the rescue. Leonard

A BRILLIANT PAGEANT.
Ringing Bros. the Grandest Display
Ever Seen in America.

A thirty Section free street parade this
is the startling novelty which Ringing
Brothers, the noted circus anagers, offer
The public this ear as the latest evidence
of their originality and munif1cent ex-
penditure. The idea of dividing a circus
procession into divisions is in itself a nov
city, while tie way in which the original
scheme has heen worked out not only re-
fleets great credit upon these always pro-
greSSlve managers, but makes the street
parades of other institutions look small
and tawdry in comparison with it. In the
city OF Chicago, where Ringing Bros.
famous circus has exhibited over one
hundred times to the largest audiences
ever seen in the Worlds Fair city, the
leading newspapers unhesitatingly de-
clare that Ringing Bros street parade is
the most novel, the most unique, the
mostgorgeous and the most royalty re-
splendent street display ever inaugurated
by circus management. And even this
does not tell the full story of it's wonders.
Each section represents some distinct ma
tiona1 characteristic, either in this or 9th
er countries, or some noted historic era,
while the cOStuning, the tableaux, orna-
mentation and the vari-colors of the huge
denS and and cars of state are so arranged
as to blend in harmony or to create strik-
ing and effective contrasts to the artistic
eye. Among the notable features in the
thirty sections into which the parade is
divided, are characteristic Representations
of all the most noted military organiza-
tions in the world all in their national
uniform, properly accoutred and mounted
on magnificent war horses; a military
convoy in the Punjaub, with Its ponder
Gus elephants, drawing great, numbering
cannon arlo bearing East Indian sharp
shooters in their oscilliatiye howdahs, to-
gether with guides, native soldiers and
all the impedirnenta of an Indo-British
army on the march; blood-quickening
reproduction of the Derby day meet, with
huge tally-hos, slender spiders, pretty
7-carts, blooded racing stock, London's
society leaders. Jockeys, touts and other
characteristic features of English racing
life; a brilliant picture of Roman and
Grecian splendor, as pictured in the great
Spectacles of Rome and Athens, together
with the Olypian games and charioteering
of the historic days of Augustus a cara
van crossing the desert; complete child
ren's parade, with pony chariots, tiny
tableaux, miniature cages and other novel
effects delightful to the childish sense; 10
bands of music, over a hundred dens,
cages and tableaux cars, and MANY other
unique presentations, each presented
complete in its individual section, and
comprising in their entirely the most be
wildering beautiful and effective street
display ever conceived or successfully
organized. 1t is this Wonderfully new and
novel procession that will inaugurate cir
Gus day in Morris, Saturday, une 10, and
those who fail to see it wiIImiss the great
est event, outside of the performance it
self, that has been presented TO the public
during the present century.
