OF SHERIFF MARTIN
The Main Point Established Yester'
day.
OTHER TESTIMONY FOR DEFENSE
Contractor samuel Price Gives an
Account of the Event--The Events
Preceding the Fatal VoIiey and
Tells How the sheriff Advised His
Deputies TO Keep Cool.

Wilkes Barre. March 2.-The cross
examination of Sheriff Martin was re-
sumed this morning and continued for
nearly an hour.
The main point established was II 1T
the witness denied making the remark
after the shooting, that he had merely
taken hand "in the matter as plain
James Martin. and not as the sheriff
of Luzerne county"
The defense then endeavored to have
the sheriff testify that he was unable
to suppress the riot and disorder that
existed in the Hazleton region and that
the civil authorities were unable to
cope with it and had then teleEraphed
to the governor of Pennsylvania for
aid 10 suppress the riot and that con-
seuuently the governor ordered out the
state militia ON the night of Sept. 10.
The commonwealth objected to this
line of testimony and Judge Wood
ward sustained the objection.
Samuel Price, a contractor and COM
mission merchant of Hazleton, testi-
fled that he was Sheriff Martins chief
deputy during the week and had been
selected by Mr.. Hall, of Hazleton. and
was sworn in on the night of Sept. b,
four days before the Lattimer shoot
ing. He told about the sheriff giving
all the DEPUTIES explicit orders to keep
cool and not get excited; to protect
property. maintain the peace. He also
told them they were not to shoot unless
for elf-protectiOn.
The witness corTObOrated Sheriff Mar
tins testimony from the time the dep
uues went on duty at o'clock Sept.
until the deputies formed in line al
Lattimer. He heard several Hungar'
ians ieer the DEPUTIES and remark
You shotee killee me, me no citizen
my wife and children get plenty
money" The witness also discovered
by going among the strikers and feel
ing about their clothing, that they
were armed with revolvers and stones
The sheriff declined to have any of the
deputies accompany him when NJ
walked down the road at Lattmer t'
meet the mob and endeavor to hal
the strikers The witness then gave {
straightforward account Of the seem
of the shooting. He said he was stand
ing in an alley to the left of the lin
of deputies, and saw the sheriff hal
the strikers. Then a moment later tn
strikers Surged around the sheriff ant
began to jostle and shove him to tn
side of the road, when the witness los
sight of the sheriff by the balance o
the strikers surging past him and rush
ing madly upon the deputies.

A PISTOL SHOT.

Just at this point a pistol Snol rang
out back of the witness and he heard
the bullet whistle past. He turned
around to see where it came from,
when he saw a striker back of the dep
uties pointing a pistol at him. The
witness throw himself on the ground
and he heard the shot whistle over his
head. He heard the strikers yell, and
the next instant he heard the Volley
fired from the center of the line Of
deputies. The volley sounded like the
loll of drum and was all over in
less than half Il minute. There was
no shooting after the VOlley. BY the
time the witness could get on his feet
all was over and the strikers were
.ushing away.
The mob formed in line again about
six hundred yards away in the woods
and the witness thought that they
We're going TO make another rush upon
the deputies, but the mob then dis
persed.
The witness then told how he assist
ed in caring for the injured by getting
water and bandages, and said he as
sisted in removing dead and wounded
from the scene,
The witness was put through a rigid
cross-eXamination but the Common+
wealth's' counsel failed to make him
contradict himself He said that he
was still in possession Of his SPRING
field rifle which he carried when he
was serving as a deputy and kept it
for his own protection at his home.
He said that some of the strikers had
loitered around the woods at Lattimer
the balance of the afternoon watch
ing the deputies care for the dead and
wounded but offered no assistance
They also watched the men at work
in the breaker until o'clock when the
breaker shut down for the day. The
witness said he had his back turned
when the deputies fired the volley
Mr.. Price further testified on cross
examination that he did not know who
gave the deputies the order to fire He
also said that he himself did not fire
a shot, and that he did not hide in the
alley to escape being shot by his owr
men.
The Lattimer trial was resumed al
2 p. m. The first witness called was
Arce Pardee Platt, of HaZleton, man
ager of the Pardee department store
He proved the best witness the de.
fense has so far had, as he gave
clear and detailed description of the
whole affair He was one Of the depu
ties and told how the property owners
in Hazleton and vicinity appointed
special watchmen to guard their prop
critics at night from being damaged b,
the riotous mob of strikers, and how
they purchased one hundred Spring
field rifles and breech-loadng sho
guns for these watchmen. These wer,
the arms that We're afterward givei
TO the deputies. He also told how
chartered police association had beer
organized in 1870 and had guarded
company properties ever since in tina
region Mr. Platt told how a striker
carrying a flag nailed on a stick, ha,
struck him with it, and how the wit
ness broke the stick and took the flag
when the striker tried to run the sticl
in his face. The witness saw the sher
in halt the strikers at Lattimer OF
Sept 10 and advise them to hisperse.

a physician at certain recruiting
station was obliged to reject many ap.
pllcants on account of their having obi
cycle heart" new form of disease pro.
duced by fast riding, or "scorching,"
as 1t is technically called The action
of the heart has much to DO with the
quality we call bravery. Battles are
necessarily accompanied by intense ex-
element, which weak hearts are I'M
able to withstand. The result Is gen.
cral physical impairment. The physi-
clan alluded to has discovered that fast
riding on the bicycle tends to enlarge
the heart and thus interferes with Its
proper action. 1t is quite likely that
any prolonged violent exercise would
produce the same result, but In the
case Of the "scorcher' 1t is only one
of the III effects of over-indulgence.
The position assumed by fast riders is
found to have q lasting effect upon the
spine, and in time prevents the victim
from standing erect with his shoulders
well back. 1t Is obvious, therefore,
that man who cannot hold himself
straight Oh dress parade, and who is
liable to death by heart failure in bat
tie, Is very poor material for a soldier

Fiyuratiye Speech.

As an example of the error of talking
fguratlvely to those who do not appre-
ciate, and who are apt to take every
thing literally, this story is worth read
ing. The respected superintendent OF
a Sunday school had told his boys thai
they should endeavor to bring theil
neighbors to the school, saying thai
they should be like a train, the scholar
being the engine and his converts tht
cars.
Judge of his surprise when, next Sun
day, the door opened during lessons
and little boy, making a noise like ar
engine, ran in, followed by half doz
en- others IN single file at his back. He
came to q halt before the supeTntend-
ent. who asked the uaeaning of 1t al.
The naive =opIy was:
crease, sir, I'm the engine, and
ihem's the cars"

He who matched wits with The au-
thor of "The Ancient Mariner" has
indeed lively task before him, for
Coleridge was never caught mapping.
The poet was so awkward a horseman
that he often attracted comment of
anything but complimentary nature.
One day he was riding along the
turnpike road in the county Of Dur
ham, when a wag who met him, fast
ened upon him as an excellent means
for sport. Consequently he drew
rein and said in an impertinent drawl:
"My graceful friend did you happen
to meet tailor on the road?'
''Fm inclined to think I did, said
Coleridge meditatively, 81 was not
sure at h moment, but he said some
thing about my meeting a goose further
along the road.
The wag put spurs to his horse, and
the poet logged calmly on his way

There was lately launched from the
shipyard of Sir w. G. Armstrong.
Whitworth II Co., of England, YES
sci which, although only a couple of
hundred feet long, is Of more than
ordinary interest. 1t is an ice breaker.
and its particular mission is to keep
open the port of Hango for the Rus
sian government at that time of the
year when it is generally ice bound.
Former ebreakers have been built
with a long, cnt-away bow, so that
partly by speed and partly by forcing
the weight of the vessel above the ice,
the obstruction has given way under
repeated attacks. The new boat is
designed to work upon a totally diff
ferent principle. 1t has two propel-
lers, one in the ordinary position and
the other forward, tho object of the
latter being to give the water under
the ice high sternward velocity, so
that the ice is left without support.
Then comes the bow of the vessel
with its heavy, crushing action, and
breaks through with comparative ease.
The vessel is being fitted with two
sets of triple expansion engines, which
are of special design so as to fit them
for the heavy work which they have
to accomplish. Chambers Journal.
