PRIEST FAVORS LINERS:
SAYS STRIKE is JUST

New York. Sept. 24.-The Rev.
Thomas .. Ducey, after a week spent
IN the Pennsylvania coal regions, told
the congregation Of st. Leo's church
yesterday of his experiences. The talk
was given after the regular sermon.
Father Ducey said:
Il returned to New York with a posi-
tive determination to stand by the
people. / think that in SO out Of 100
cases the people are right, and my ex-
perience of the past week confirms
that opinion. Many of the things we
read about the miners I know to be
false from my own observation. The
stories circulated about the miners be-
ing drunkards and dissipated are alb
sOiute lies. The men have Just griev-
ances, and they have as much right to
the arbitration they demand as have
the railroad kings. The delay asked
for by the operators appears to be a
scheme to take an unfair advantage Of
the miners"
After paying n high tribute to the
character Of President Mitchell, OF the
miners organization, Father Ducey
said:
Il am informed that about 55 per
cent of the miners in the Hazleton dis
trict are English speaking and the
other As are foreigners. The English
speaking ones stay there and face the
music, while the foreigners go to their
homes in the winter, leaving the others
to bear the brunt of the battle for the
right When labor began to organize
the kings of control imported foreign
labor because 1t was cheaper than
American labor. Now the kings are
getting it in the eye"
Father Ducey said that he had visit
ed the houses of wealthy persons in
the coal regions and that large en-
ployers of labor had admitted to him
that the men had grievances and that
they hoped a settlement would soon be
reached. He characterized some Of the
sherims' deputies as "tOughs" and
condemned the calling out Of the
militia. saying it was unnecessary.

Mansfield, o., Sept. PA mob fora
ed here yesterday and the Doweite
elders, Ephraim Bassinger Of Bluffton
and Silas Moot Of Lima, were its vic
Tins. The two elders came in 'on an
Erie train unknown to the authorities.
They were recognized by a small crowd
at the depot, which refused to let them
enter a cab, then followed them up the
street and surrounded them near the
center of the city. They were then
taken by the mob to the Richland
buggy works. where Bassinger dis
robed, but the crowd tore Moot's cloth
ing from his body, as he refused to dis
robe himself A paint bucket and a
brush were then secured and smoke
stack varnish, tarlike substance, was
daubed over them from head to foot.
1t was matted in their hair, and no
part Of their bodies escaped but their
faces. Their bodies were then par
TALLY covered with their clothing and
the elders were marched to the home
Of E. II. Leiby. a Zion follower here,
who was driven out OF the city last
Sunday. There they promised not to
return to Mansfield, but later they said
they agreed not to return unless Over
seer Piper ordered them to come. They
were then marched to the city prison
and locked up. BY applications of lard
and benzine the black varnish was cut,
and after new outfits of clothing were
furnished they were deported oa =
Pennsylvania train at noon.

BRITISH TRAMP
DOhN DAMAGE
To Avoid Collision the FaIIO-
don Hall Destroys Sig
nal Tower

In order to avert a collision with q
three-masted schooner the British
steamship Fallodon Hall crashed into
the Reedy Island quarantine station
on Saturday night and plowed through
the signal tower OF the Philadelphia
Maritime Exchange and into the pier
almost 100 feet before the ships en-
gines could be stopped.
The night was veryl dark, and a lit
tie fCggy, but the tower on Reedy
Island was easily visible, and Pilot
Gray intended to pass within abou,
fifty yards Of it. When the vessel was
almost abreast Of the pier the lights
III another craft flashed out hardly
more than a boats length ahead Of the
flying Fallodon Hall.
The vessel was a little farther out
In the river than the British steamship
and unless both of them veered theh
courses considerably a collision was
unavoidable. Both pilots realized the
position. and the smaller craft point
ed farther away from shore at the
same moment that the nose OF the
Fallodon Hall swung around and plow-
ed its way towards the very centre OF
the tower.
Pilot Gray saw the danger The
wheel was reversed. but it was too
late. and the big vessel crashed against
The pier with terrific force. Operator
John Tass. in the tower. had watched
both vessels change their course, and
was leaning from the window when
the steamers nose was directed toward
him. Quick rs a flash his foot was on
the sill, and he leaped an instant be-
fore the FallodOn touched the island
He landed safely i'm the river and float
ID On O piece Of the wreck to the shore.
The big vessels course was almost
straight and before her engines could
be stopped she had plunged through
100 feet Of the island. and it required
the combined strength Of three tug
boats to pull her out of the debris

Traverse Roads Leading to
The Various Mines
QUIET REIGYED on SUNDAY
Three Deputies, Sons Of Prominent
Citizens. Arrested for Highway
Robbery at FreeIand

Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 24.-There was
absolutely no change in the coal strike
situation in the Lehigh region yester-
day, and the customary Sunday quiet
ude prevailed. In the afternoon the
employees Of the Calvin Pardee mine
met at Lattimer and the United Mine
Workers held mass meetings at both
Eckley and Beaver Meadow. Last
night the presidents Of the three an
thracite districts comprising the en-
tire hard coal fields of Pennsylvania
had conference with President Mitch
ell for the purpose of discussing the
situation as it now prevails in the an
thracite region.
During normal times a colliery here
and there works on Sunday, but yes
terday not pound of coal was mined
in the HazletOn region. Every one OF
the 25 or more towns in this region
was quiet. Many miners, accompanied
by their families, visited neghboring
villages to see relatives or friends, as is
their custom on Sunday, while most
OF the others remained within doors
at their homes.
All the mining towns had their full
quota at the churches, and it was a
subject OF remark by strangers now in
the region that an unusually large
proportion of the population attended
church. The women and children,
however, were in a vast majority.
Most people il the coal region are Ro-
man Catholics
Three of the deputies who were
sworn in by Sheriff Harvey, Of Luzerne
county. and who are sons of promi-
nent Wilkesbarre families, were ar
rested late Saturday night at Freeland
on the charge Of highway robbery.
They are Hamilton Farnham, Van
Buren 3 Howard and A. r. Shoe
maker, Jr. The men are accused of
robbing a Polish liquor dealer Of S167
in cash. There are two sides to the
story The Polander says he was de-
livering beer at tHighland and that the
deputies asked him and he consented
TO let them ride with him in his wagon
to Freeland. At the outskirts Of that
place, he claims. the men assaulted
him and took the money from his
pockets. The other story Is to the ef-
feet that the Polander demanded a fee
for bringing the deputies to Freeland,
and not getting il he set up q cry that
he had been robbed.
The deputies were taken into Gus
tody and given a hearing before a
justice Of the peace. which lasted until
2 o'clock yesterday morning. The
Squire committed the three men, but
instead Of locking them up at Free
land the accused were driven 80 miles
over the mountain to Wilkesbarre.
where they arrived at daylight, and
where they we're released on bail.

MINERS WANT MIN ON
RAILROADS. TO HELP THEN

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 24-It now be-
gins to look as If the strike would ex-
tend to the railroaders, at least in this
region The switchmen had another
conference yesterday with their ma
tional officers, Grand Master Frank T.
Hawley and Grand Secretary John e.
Upton. Of Buffalo. to discuss the re-
quest Of the striking miners that they
refuse to handle non-uniOn coal. Moth
ing could be learned of what was done
further than that the national officers
and a committee of the local switch
men would go to New York today, and
that on their return something definite
would be done. The purpose of their
visit could not be learned. but it is
supposed 1t is to petition President
Truesdale to spare them the task of
handling the non-uniOn washery culm
and save them from the alternative of
striking or refusing the miners re-
quest.
Rev. w. p. O'DOnnell, pastor of Holy
Cross parish, in which the Bellevue
colliery is located, attended each of the
three masses yesterday morning and
counselled the people of his congrega-
tion to keep away from the mine and
do nothing that would in any way tend
TO cause a disturbance.
Organizer Dilcher said yesterday
that the miners had been assured OF
outside help that would permit them
to continue on strike for six months at
least after their own resources had
been exhausted. Significant remarks
along the same line were made at mass
meetings in Laurel Hill Park and
again at Throop by National Secretary

The Irish standard., 1900-11-24

Reynolds Newspaper says: ga
gang of Christian savages two or
three years ago invested and terror
lied the more orderly people Of a
large district Of South London. Now,
however, over the whole of the metrop-
oils, in Liverpool and other large
towns, we have an outbreak of the
coarsest and most disgusting animal
ism that ever disgraced any country
pretending to be civilized. A striking
sign of their savagery is their awful
voices. Surely no people in the world
roar so hideously as these young Eng
fish citizens. Their speech is not hui
man; it is that of wild beasts; their
actions, as regards propriety, or dig
nifty, are much below those of any
known animal. There are hundreds
of thousands of these Calibans in
Great Britain. And yet we pay more
for religious services than any other
country: and we ARE powerful in,
prayer. And a nation that breeds
such monsters has the impudence to
send missionaries to other people, such
as the Indians and Chinese, who are
gentlemen compared with these prod
ucts of English civilization

self-denying." "Archbishop's House"

emincnce is "at home" Mr.. Scott re-

Says the Philadelphia Standard and

to be a little at fault about Dr. Conan

the son Of the sterling Catholic, Rich

as Punch's leading artist rather than
lampoon the Pope and Catholic digni-
taries for John Bulls delectation. He
is, we believe, his nephew. There was
brother, John Doyle, a clever writer
who achieved distinction as the Lon
don correspondent of an anti-Irish pa
