Marchers We're Busy.

Hazelton, Pa, Oct. 1.-(Spl) This
has been the most exciting morning of
the strike. The strikers made heroic
efforts to prevent stampede to the
mines, in response to the offer of ten
per cent increase in wages
Over 500 men gathered at dawn near
Lattimer. and marched to town. They
We're confronted there by Sheriff Har,
vey and 100 deputies. Harvey com

sive sight followed.
The strike leader cried. eve are
unarmed and demand right of the
highway" With this, nl the strikers
raised their arms above their heads
and pushed through the deputies lines.
AS they marched they called to sleep
| ing miners along the road not to work
today. They stopped at one place
The sheriff came up and said "boys
you have demanded the right of the
highway, but you must not loiter,"
The men then marched on through
town urging the men to remain Idle
Marches were made also In the rain

parent conditions, he had probably
been dead two hours.
Denny McGirl, the next witness ca,l-
ed, said he saw Mullen at 8 o'clock in
Ferguson's saloon. He was drinking
beer, and was pretty full. Again he
saw him half an hour later. He said
Mullen was quiet fellow, he having
known him a year. He identified the
hat found as Mullen's.
David Shelir, of Niles, bartender
for Ferguson, testified mullen was
in and out of the saloon from $50 to
0:8O Saturday night He did not drink
very much. Mullen came in with a
big tall fellow who was stranger.
He had red face with Il scar on the
left cheek. He looked like
A ROUGH CUSTOMER
and wore an initial ring with ID OF
81 on it, Another short fellow was al.
so there and ! saw him borrow money
from Mullen The stranger said he
was going to Akron. He had three
half dollars with him. because he asked
me to keep them for him.
James O'Hara, the next witness
took the witness tand in semi-intox'
icated condition. In the meantime he
told Democrat reporter that he was
held up by two men Saturday night

between and 8 o'clock on the Broad
barn, where he slept with another
man, named Chas. Ford, who is ems
ployed by M. H. McCourt. When they
hit him, he said they knocked him
SILLY" His face bore ample eviSsnce
Of that fact. Addressing the thugs be,
said: "You wouldn't kill me foS 80
cents, would you?' and handed them
60 cents, after which they left. Then
he said they did not go through his
pockets, but that he had $4 more in his
sock" and 81 more in vest pocket.
On the witness stand he related his
tale about being held UP. He said,
II saw Mullen between and o'clock
Saturday evening, and lie asked me to
have drink with him. which, l did
and three silver dollars"
Witness was asked IL he knew Jim
Fay. He replied in the negative. The
witness was in bad condition and
was locked up for safe keeping.
Chas. Ford, who sleeps dn the same
barn with O'Hara, said he did hot see
BIN, Sunday until noon, and did not
know whether he was in Saturday,
night or not At this juncture the In
quest was postponed until 1890 when
Ford was again placed on the witness
stand.
MOTIVE FOR MURDER.
| A puzzling point in the supposed
murder is what was the murderer's
motive? The man did not have much
money, and it is quite certain that two
men had hand in the affair. because
his hat was found with blood stains ON
it, a block away from where the car
ran over his body. Many believe
he got in quarrel and was killed un,
Intentionally, and afterward removed
in desire to conceal evidence of the
crime.
People in that vicinity did not hear
any noise during the evening, and it
is not exactly known just when he met
with foul play in the alley near yo-
gan's shop.

BOER WAR
Is a Campaign Issue In
England.
First Half Of October Will bs Election
Days.


London, Oct. 1.--tSpl)-Ba Balloting in
the English general elections for men,
bers of parliament, began today, and
will continue for about fifteen days.
The matter of when the election shall
be held, is left to the different constit-
uencies and may be any time between
the issuing of the writ for an cleo
ton, and the time when certificates
for election may be filed. This time,
the period is the first half of October.
The constituencies which vote today,
however, will show the drift of the
tide, and the later elections, except in
one or two instances, will be of less
interest.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who is the ack-
nowledged political leader of the
conservative party, though Lord Sails
bury Is the nominal head, has cleverly
managed to keep but one issue to the
front during the short campaign. 1t
is wllether or not the electors approve
of the war and frankly aggressive
imperial policy.
or the Liberal leaders, Lord Rose
berry has remained in retirement and
his lieutenants have either been quiet
or will openly support Imperialism
though still calling themselves Lib
erals. Sir Henry Campbell Bennerman
the nominal Liberal leader, has been
on the fence on the main question o,
the war, but has criticised Chamber
lain for running 1t badly. OF Glad

has been openly against Imperialism
but has taken little part in the cam

to discuss the strike question, was held
this afternoon at Wilkesbarre. The

agree to a plan of arbitration, con-

The order issued by Summit county's
two Republican County Commission
ers notifying the citizens of Summit
county and their visitors to keep off
the grass" under penalty of arrest, is
rapidly catching on as a slogan with
the local friends of Mr.. Bryan. The
fact is that there was very little grass
left on the court house lawn after the
County Commissioners had ceased
ouartering the state militia there few
weeks ago, and what little grass re-
mains would hardly be injured by the
people. Another significant fact is
that the County Commissioners have
been intending to plough up the court
house grounds next spring, leveling off
the top soil, and resolving 1t with
grass, so that the order of the two
partisan Commissioners at this time is
about as thin as the grass that grows
on the lawn. That the Commissioners
blundered when they forbade the peo-
pie the right to the use Of their own
m cperty is evidenced by the lively ef-
forts made by one of the Commission
crs to explain. He talks about the
plain, bare prevarications' Of those
who charge that the Commissioners
were actuated by partisan motives in
refusing permission to the people for
| the use of the lawn. A little more at
| tention to the "plain, bare lawn, and
little less attention to campaign ex-
pcdients would do much to make the
commissioners more popular with the
Teople. The Commissioners may talk
from now until election time about
the ''keep off the grass" order, but
they will have uphill work convincing
the people that they have not as much
right to use the lawn as had the
troops who were adartered there to
help guard Sheriff Kelly and county
property, which had never been threat
ened that anybody knows Of. .'gtr

BONES REMOVED TO A
NEW RESTING PLACE
Honor for the Heroes Who Fell Under Jack
son at TalIadega Many Years
Ago.

Talladega, Sept. 5.-(Special)-Last Mon
day the bones of II soldiers who fell in
the battle of Talladega, fought between
General Andrew Jackson's Tennessee Vol
unteers and the Creek Indians, were dis
inferred and removed to the City Gem
etry For eighty-seven years, since No
vember 9, 1918, the heroes of this fight had
silently slept on the banks of the town
creek, about a mile below the city, with
nothing to mark their resting place but a
wall of old gray stones, which had long
since tumbled down.
The soldiers were all buried in one large
trench eight by fifteen feet and the open
ing of the grave revealed the fact that some
of the bones were remarkably well pre-
served after their burial of nearly a CEN
fury. Some button, bullets and fragments
of cloth and the massive jawbone of a
man of gigantic proportions were found.
A doctor said the jawbone was the largest
he had ever seen.
The removal of the remains is the work
of the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.
