WOODW PERIL.
Close Watch Kept Over Judge
In Martin Trial.
ATTEMPT At ASSASSINATION FEARED
The Lawyers Tor the Commonwealth and
the Defense Present Their Cases
TO the Jury, Reviewing the
Trial Carefully.

WILKESBARRE; Pa, March g.
Never in the history Of Luzerne county
was there such a crowd as thronged the
courtroom and packed the corridors ana
aisles to suffocation. For an hour be-
fore the door opened the crowd was
gathered and clamored for admission.
No passes were issued and nobody was
allowed special admission, except law
yers and reporters. The tipstaves were
told to allow women in first, and they
did so, until there was danger of all
the available space In the courtroom
being taken up by them. Then the
general crowd was let in one by one Ia
order to prevent any crush.
This Is believed to be the closing week
of the great trial, and the interest thus
caused is enhanced by another and
startling feature, the rumor of threats
Of violence and death to the attorneys
and to Judge Woodward. The rumor
that a dynamite bomb was 70 be thrown
among the lawyers was known by the
court officials on Saturday.
friend of James De Witt a tipstaff.
heard some startling assertions as he
stood near a group Of foreigners, and
told De Witt. who at once notified the
court. and an extra squad of policemen
tempt at violence and to scrutinize
carefully everybody who applied for
admission.
on Saturday night there was another
startling rumor, and one which, reach
ing the ears of Chief Of Police Briggs,
caused him to place a guard all night
long at Judge Woodward's house, for
the rumor was that an attempt was to
be made upon the life of the presiding
officer of the trial. Despite his lSnowl-
edge of this threat, Judge Woodward
walked alone TO the court. He will be
carefully guarded until the close Of the
trial.
Mr. Scarlet. for the commonwealth.
spoke of the extremely serious nature
OF the case. saying that never in the
history Of the world was there such a
trial when 65 defendants were before a
jury at one time on the charge of muir
der. He carefully reviewed the evil
dence relating only to the occurrence
of Sept 10 and speaking particularly Of
the meeting at West Hazleton, where
the sheriff marched alone through the
mob, where Deputy Platt tore down the
flag the strikers carried, where a stril-
er was struck on the head where 9th
ers were pushed and prodded off the
street and where the strikers made nc
resistance and did not resent in any
way the action Of the deputies Mr.
Scarlet made an especially strong point
OF this
He also spoke OF the neglect Of the
sheriff when. considering the evidence
Of the deputies as true. ne did not ar.

achievement in monthly journalism.
The topics treated in this magazine are
such as occupy much space in the daily

them more deliberately and in more
carefully adjusted proportion. No

the first day Of March win have so
much as a reference to the De LONE
letter, the Maine disaster, or the Zola
trial in Paris; but these great themes

REGENT LITERATURE

'sThe Situation I'm Cuba is the sub
iect of an interesting and handsomely
illustrated article in the National
Magazine for March The article Is es-
pecially timely and grapples the ques-
zion fearlessly. There are evidences
Of having stopped the press TO record
The latest possible information, and by
this means Mr.. Hastings has carried
his discussion 10 a strong eliminating
climax. The article is illustrated by
drawings and from recent photographs.
The Cuban question, In the present
status, was a most hazardous under
taking for a magazine, but there was a
true newspaper instinct and experience
in handling 1t in the March issue Of
the National Magazine
The new number Of Golfers Weekly
abounds in large plates, the frontis-
piece being a full-page design by
George Wharton Edwards showing Co
lumbia, olive branch in hand, yet lean
ing on a cannon and looking intently
for signs of peace or war. The double
page plate-which is by S0nntag, the
noted marine artist-shows the prob
able aspect of contest between forts
and battleships, and the Cft-aszed Ques-
ton as to which will be the more ef-
fectlye-the modern fleet or the mod
ern fort-is discussed at length by
Lieutenant w. n. King. A picture OF
the Maine as she was occupies n full
page, so does strong plate Of the
night-rescue Of the passengers and
crew OF the wrecked Neendam by the
American liner ST. Louis. There are
three plates of our Spanish visitor, the
armored cruiser Vizcaya, ono of them
showing a gun and guns crew Of the
main battery.

CRITICAL TIME
DURING THE BATTLE OF
SANTIAGO.
Sick or Well, a Rush Night and
Day.

The Packers at the Battle Of Santiago
de Cuba We're All Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting AlOmnni-
hon and Rations to tie Front Saved
tie Day.
Pc. BUTLER, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago De Cuba, on
July Odd, says: 1--WE all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and ratlons,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health in fact, sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comrades and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and l know in four cases
it absolutely saved life"
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines,
Iowa. For sale at Remnants Phar-
macy.
