Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 6.-An uprising
of striking miners in the Shalnokin
region seemed imminent for several
hours late yesterday, and there We're
forebodings of a serious clash between
armed deputies and a large body OF
strikers. Prompt action of sorae of
the cool headed officials of the miners
organization finally succeeded in
averting the threatened conflict. Some
5000 excited strikers assembled at
Mount Carmel and, headed by a; band
Of music, started a march to Treyer-
ton, sixteen miles away, with the
avowed purpose Of forcing those at
work at the North Franklin colliery to
quit and tie up the district. The mine
is the only one in operation in the re-
gion, and the strikers had become
angered at the refusal of the men to
stop work. The marchers We're in an
Excited and Wrathful
frame Of mind. When they had COW
cred three miles of their march they
were met by officials of their or
ganization, who, after much persua-
sion, induced the men to abandon
their proposed trip. The strikers then
turned back, though many did so re-
luctantly. Meantime several hundred
deputies had been rushed to Trevor
ton on special trains and a serious
conflict could scarcely have been
avoided had the excited strikers ar
rived at the scene and endeavored to
carry out their threats against the
workmen. Later it was announced
that the officials of the North Frank
lin, to prevent trouble, would not ope-
rate the mine until the strike was set
tied. Gen. Goblin, as a result of this
new disturbing element, rescinded his
order for Battery c, of the national
guard, to return home. Affairs were
quiet in all other sections Of the an.
thracite field yesterday, but the strik-

the United Mineworkers' organizers
now is the Panther Creek valley in
the lower Lehigh region. where the
collieries Of the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation company have been practical
ly in full operation since the strike be-
gan in the other sections. Strenuous
efforts are being put forth to induce
the men there to quit work and join
the union. President Mitchell said
there was no immediate prospect Of
convention of miners to consider the
concessions offered by the operators.
None Of the Lehigh company's strik-
ers awaited themselves Of the offered
increase in wages.

Jno. Kergesner, a white man and who is employed at Big Lake to keep the Club house h proper con dition, fell from the southbotnd Iron Mountain accommodation train Tuesday afternoon and received injuries that will neecessitate his remaining under cover for few weeks to come.
 Kergesner went to Little Rock a few days ago to enjoy the holidays and to say he enjoyed them would be only expressing it mildly. He returned to his abode Tuesday after noon and when within one mile of his destination, his head began to swim in an ocean of Kentucky tea and he rolled from the rear platform, where he was standing. The train was going at very fast speed and had he been sober. he would have doubtless received serious injuries.
