VICTIMSOF
THE RIOT.
1t Is Belleyed That All of Them Will
Recover.
COLLINS SIGHT MAY BE SAVED |
He Has Been Removed to Philadelphia
Eye Hospital-The Condition OF Carr
and Mary Pinkey is Improved
and Recovery is Looked
For

The excitement attending the pay day riot
at Centraia has subsided, since it has been
determined that the condition of the rcspec-
tive victims is such that their chances for
recovery is good. The feeling among some of
the people of the town is still very bitter,
however, especially among the friends of the
injured, as only one of those hurt took
hand in the fracas that led up to the riot.
The others were victims of the reckless
shooting and stone throwing upon the street
from the windows of the house in which the
affair originated.
1t was anticipated that large number of
arrests would be made, but they are limited
to four men, who are charged with being the
ringleaders and no other arrests will be
made Yesterday Jacob Nhchclofski, the
proprietor of the saloon in which the fight
started, William Yousavage, Thomas Jacobs
aud William Savage were placed under
arrest and arraigned before Justice John ].
Laughln, at Centralia. After hearing the
witnesses the Justice discharged Savage, as
there was not sufficient evidence against him.
The others were held in $500 bail each for
trial at court.
This morning Aleck RuskO was taken into
custody and put under $500 bail by Justice
Laughlin. Rusko is the last of the men to
be arrested. He has been identified as the
one who beat Cornelius Carr in the saloon
with the base ball bat, badly fracturing the
victims skull.
The attendants at the Miners hospital say
that Carr is better to-day, but his condition
is still critical His chances for recovery,
however, are pretty fair.
Thomas Collins, the young man who was
shot in the eye during the riot was today
sent to the Wills Eye Hospital at Philadel
pha. He was taken there by his brother.
The surgeons at the Miners hospital found
that the bird shot from MichelOfski's gun
had entered Collins right eye to the depth Of
about an inch and half. 1t was supposed at
first that the sight of the eye had been
entirely destroyed, but more careful eXami-
nation served to change the opinion and the
surgeons said that if Collins should receive
treatment of specialists there was a chance
for saving the sight. 1t was upon this that
Collins removal to Philadelphia was made.
Mary Pinkey, the little girl who was
struck on the top of the head by Il piece of
rock, is being treated at the home of her
parents in Centralia. Her condition is much
improved and it is now believed that she will
recover. George Shoutiler the man who
received the charge of bird shot in the back,
suffers little inconvenience.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONCLAvH.
Brilliant Displays of Electric Lights
Welcome Pittsburg's Visitors.


Pittsburg. Oct. 11.-With the brill
liancy of incandescence, emanating
from nearly a half million electric
lights, the conclave of the Knights
Templar fairly started last night, and
today close upon $4,000 pilgrims are
reveling in each others hospitality.
Except a few stragglers, every com
mandery which was expected to be rep
resented has now a delegation on the
ground. Souvenirs of all snaps, sizes
and designs are in abundant evidence,
and most Of the knights are bedecked
with decorations.
The sights in the streets have never
been equaled in this city as far as the
crowds are concerned. Street car traffic
Is at standstill and vehicles of all
descriptions are banished from down
town thoroughfares, while every inch
of ground is monopolized by tens of
thousands of pedestrians.
The brilliancy of the city's street
decorations marks an epoch In the his
tory Of electric illumination. Within
a radius Of four blocks from the heart
OF the city 100000 incandescent lamps
burn every night. Huge electric crosses
and other embems of templarism are
suspended on the sides and fronts of
the city's tallest buildings, and from
nearly every store or shop in the down
town district.
Electioneering for the honor Of hold
ing the next conclave is in active prog
ress. In this respect the Louisville
people are apparently in the lead. They
are very active, and confidently assert
they will win. Yesterday afternoon the
members from the Minnesota COM
manderies virtually gave up the con-
test they had expected to make in
favor Of st. Paul Northern New York
delegations are plugging" for all they
are worth to have the next conclave
held at Niagara Falls in 1901. How
ever. 1t is as yet difficult to tell what
the outcome will be, because a decision
will not be reached until Thursday
morning.

TABOR TO
BE OUSTED.
The Accused Contract Surgeon
Must Leave the Army.
VERY WEAK CASE AGAINST HIM.

The Soldier Whom He Was Charged
with Neglecting Practically Com
mitted Suiclde-But surgeon General
Sternberg Says the Omcer Must Go.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE board Of
inquiry appointed to investigate the
charges against Contract Surgeon Ia
Dor, growing out of the death at Camp
Wikoff Of Private Hugh Parrett. of the
Eighth infantry (regulars). has sub
mitted Its report to Secretary Alger.
The board presents simply the testi-
mony taken in the course OF the In
quiry, making no recommendations
The charges against Dr. Tabor were,
In brief, that he neglected to attend
and prescribe for Private Parrett, and
that the soldiers death was due di-
rectly to the negligence or inCompe-
tence of the surgeon. The evidence
taken by the board shows that Dr.
Tabor did prescribe for Parrett, and
that he attended him twice on the day
of his death. Not IL minutes before
the man died DR.. Tabor was talking to
him In front Of his tent. The man was
then suffering from a case OF acute
pneumonia, superinduced by a bath
which he had taken in the surf only
short time before.
Parrett had been ordered by one OF
the sergeants of his company to take
a bath, and to go to the cooks tent
to get warm water in which to battle
For some reason Parrett did not get
the warm water, but went to the beach
and plunged into the surf. The shock
produced by the cold water on his
system, which was much reduced by
fever and other disease, was so great
that pneumonia instantly developed
and he died in a short time
The evidence further shows that Dr.
Tabor was very cross with Parrett
and that he spoke to him sharply. This
was accounted for in the testimony by
the fact that DR.. Tabor was himself
nearly i'll from the effects Of the hard
work he had been doing. and was
nervous and unstrung.
The report Of the board of inquiry
was referred TO Judge Advocate Gem |
eral Leiber and by him returned to the |
secretary of war, with the opinion that |
charges against DR.. Tabor would not lie |
under the testimony
Surgeon General Sternberg decided |
that, in the circumstances, the best |
course to pursue would be to relieve |
DR.. Tabor from duty by cancelling his
contract as an army surgeon. The
necessary steps to this end will be
taken at once.

stated that the young soldier entered a
saloon near where he was stationed and got
into dispute. RevOlvers were drawn with

Vile last night on the occasion of the visit OF
the Republican state candidates. Colonel
Stone, candidate for Governor, addressed the
voters and other speakers elucidated the
issues of the campaign. The address of Col
Stone was well received, and he took occa-
sien to reassert that he will veto all vicious
measures, such as padded pay rolls, pinch
bills OF other unholy measures that demand
his approval. The attendance and enthu'
siasm was in direct contrast to the meeting
addressed by Brumm at the opening Of the
campaign.

Dan Sully and Robert Mantell were coun-
ter attractions before the theatre going people
of this town and Mahanoy City last night
and, Notwithstanding the fact that Sully S
appearance here was IN connection with a
benefit for the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
fully 14O people travelled over to MahanOy
City to see Mantell in THE Secret Warrant -
1t was on this account that the audience ut
Ferguson's theatre last night was not as
large as anticipated Still the audience was
a good sized one, and it is understood there
was good advance sale not shown by the
attendance. Mr.. Sully appeared in his new
play Uncle Rob" and gave one Of the
prettiest performances witnessed at the
theatre for some time. The play differs
materially from those in which Mr.. Sully has
heretofore appeared, but it is none the less
effective. The story Of the play is an i'm
pressive one, entirely devoid of the sensa-
tionalism that is so generally worked into
comedy dramas. 1t is a simple story of the
power of truth and fidelity skillfully and
effectively unfolded by an excellent com
pany. The singing by the quartette and
Misses Jennie Lissenden and Daisy Chaplin
was pleasing feature The people who wit
messed Mantell's performance at Kaier's
were also well pleased.
