WOODWARD TO The JURORS.
Tells Them Not to Heed Anonymous Let
ters-witnesses Testify.

Tells Them Not to Heed Anepsgnous Let
ters-witnesses Testify.
WILKEsBARRE, Feb. 10.-Before the
taking Of evidence was resumed III the
Martil, rial, Judge Woodward told the
ifrsrs thai Sho1l they receive any let
ters bearing on ease, whether an0ny-
nous or efgned, s : should hand them
over to the dist attorney and not
allow them to make any impression ON
their minds.
The first witness was John Yourshe-
kowicz. one of the Harwood strikers.
He said that on sept. 8, the strikers
held a meeting at Harwood, and they
understood that if they could get the
Lattimer men to join them they would
win the strike. They decided not to
carry anything having the semblance of
weapons and to behave quietly and
peaceable. At West Hazleton, he said,
they met the sheriff and deputies, who
pushed them around with guns and hit
several of them. One man, and the
witness at this juncture pointed out
Deputy Ario P. Platt, tore down the
flag.
At Lattimer the sheriff stopped them.
hit two men in the front rank and tired
to shoot his revolver 1t snapped twice
and then exploded. Right away there
was volley OF shots from the deputies
and many of the strikers fell.
"A bullet passed through my hat,
the witness continued, land then fell
and lay down until there was no more
shooting then | ran away"
The witness also said the Harweod
men decided to send a committee to
Lattilner, and that committee was COM
posed of all of them, about 400 or soc,
because if they sent only three men, or
a small number, Pardee & Co. would
discharge them; that is, they would
have no chance of getting back their po-
sitions after the strike.
Steve Jusco, the man whose arm was
broken and head cut by blows of rifle
in the hands Of a deputy at West Halle
ton, testified thai at the time of the as
sault he was behaving III an orderly
manner and saying nothing. After
wards he said the deputies put him in
the lookup for two days and then he
was taken to the hospital.
Lewis Kitzsl, told how, on arriving
at West Hazleton with the strikers, two
deputies seized him by the coat, hustled
and pushed him around and tore his
shirt He said a number of the men
were so frightened by the deputies
threatening them with their guns that
they ran home and did not march to
Lattimer. At Lattimer, when the
shooting commenced he ran to hut,
but the deputies fired on the shanty and
a bullet went through his hat.
Witness did not have the hat in court
and was told to write for it. On cross
examination, he admitted that the sher-
if had told the strikers to go home and
that they disobeyed and marched on to
Lattimer.
Ellery BONN, an undertaken of Halle
ton, who buried 10 of the victims, gave
their names and described their wounds,
saying all were. shot in the back, except
one, who had a bullet in his forehead.

What snobbery there is among
the wives of statesmen in this land
of supposed equality. The lady of
the White House, the ladies of the
cabinet, Mrs. Ambassadors Such
and-such, etc, are only a few of the
lofty titles they assume. And now
will some one rise in his intelligence
and inform the public who ever
elected or appointed woman as a
LADY of the cabinet" or an "epbas-
sadress," or where under the dbnsti-
tuition do they get the authority for
assuming such titles?

GLAD SHE DIDN'T YELL.
when She Found Out That Her Indus
trious NeighbOr Was Not Com
hitting Suicide.

A certain East end man delights in doing
odd Jobs about his home. He cuts his grass
and trims the walks, and handles paint
brush like an old master. Carpenter tools
come handy to him, too, and the sound OF his
merry saw makes pleasant music for the
neighbors, who have no objection to being
awakened early. In short, he is clever all
round workman, and decidedly handy to
have about the house.
One day not long ago the woman of the
house next door happened to come out on her
back porch. There she casually looked over
the low fence into the handy mans yard.
What she saw scared her so that she couldn't
move hand or foot. The handy man was ly-
ing prone on his back, his body concealed
beneath his porch, but with his face in strong
relief He was very pale, his hair was dis,
ordered, and his eyes were rolled up and
fixed in a CHASTITY intentness. Against his
breast he seemed to be. pressing some deadly
weapon that glistened as ray OF light
touched it.
The woman on the porch tried to scream,
committing suicide.
He painted, his face grew red, and his form
seemed convulsed.
The woman on the porch caught her agon-
| lied breath and was about to let out AZ
horse power yell when she heard the sup
| posed suicide anxiously ask:
isn't it through YETI" ma,
eyes," said a voice from above, ut been
| yoost through"
About this time the woman on the porch
understood that the handy man was boring
an auger hole through the floor of his porch,
that the deadly weapon was an anger, and
that the hired girl was on hand to watch
the operation.
Then the woman on the porch was glad she
didn't yell.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Key West, June 21.-A vessel ar
rived here yesterday from the block
ade and brought an officer of the Gu
ban army and pilot, who are carry
ing important dispatches to Senor
Estrada Palma, of the Cuban Junta,
from Gen. Rodriguez, the insurgent
commander of Havana province.
The Cubans were taken on board
on Saturday from an auxiliary gun
boat which had picked them up. Ihe
messengers of Gen. Rodriguez give an
interesting account of their expert
ences. After leaving the insurgent
camp they made their way into the
city of Havana, spent several DAYS
there, proceeded to one of the small
inlets in the neighborhood, stole
small boat and rowed out 10 sea IN
the hope of coming across an Amerl-
can vessel. They were three days IN
the boat before they were picked up.
The Cubans report that there are no
supplies of rice, maize, potatoes or
eggs in Havana. Flour they say costs
SO cents per pound and the army has
been placed on half rations.
The messengers class as false the
reports that vessels have succeeded Ill
entering Havana with supplies. They
assert that since the blockade began
only three small fishing vessels have
entered the harbor and that no food
whatever is received from Cienfuegos
The Cubans also report that lard is
selling at so cents, rice at 20, beans al
25 and meat at rs cents per pound
and all are scarce, and they say thai
all horses of private families, stores
and livery stables, have been contls
Gated by order of Gen. Arolas, the
military governor of Havana, for th'
use of the troops. There is hardly
any traffic in the streets of HaVan;

Thirty-fiye Transport Ships VIII be Need

Washington, June 17.-The war oe-
partment expects to utilize S5 trans
ports in the expedition for the inva-
sion of Porto Rico. This statement
was made officially at the department.
Yesterday. 1t indicates that the Porto
Rico army will equal if not exceed
in number that which left for San
tiago. The 35 vessels will carry be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 men with
their equipment and subsistence
Army officials say reports from re-
liable sources show that the NUMBER
of Spanish soldiers in that country
is probably 10000 men, although
other statements indicate that there
| Is considerably less than that num-
Der. 1t is fair to assume, they say
that when the United States army
commences active operations against
San Juan every available man in that
place will be impressed into the mill
tary service and given a gun. Hence
they feel that the army of invasion
should be of such proportions as to
leave no doubt of it's ability to cope
successfully with the enemy.
The embarkation point for the
troops for Porto Rico has not yet
been finally determined and will not
be until Secretary Alger and the
Ipresident have conferred with Gen.
miles, who will return to the city to-
lav. There is no doubt, however
that this embarkation will take place
from some point on the Atlantic coast
with probability in favor of Fer
lnandina. Fla, or Savannah, Ga. The
merits of the first named place have
been fully set out, and as to the lat
ter place favorable comment was
made upon it by the board of army
officers which recently conducted
1.-The examination of various points il
the south. Jacksonville also is con
sidered by the board a good place

WASHINGTON.

Secretary Alger has sent 10 con-
gress estimates for appropriations for
the army up to January next
amounting to $13,200,0OO.
For the II months of the present
fiscal year there was an increase in the
amount of domestic merchandise eX-
ported as compared with the same
period last year of $157,13S,S21, and a
decrease of $42, 1884, 1888 in the imports
of domestic merchandise.
A positive denial is made by Secre-
tary Alger of the story that the gov
ernment is considering the advisable
ity of making another call for volun-
teer troops. On the contrary the war
department is now entirely occupied
with the task of completing the equip
ment of the large number of organiza-
tions still without accoutrements.
In few days steps will be taken
