AFTER 1s YEARS
David Joll Finds Long Lost
Brother.

David Joll, we'll known young man
rooming in the Currier block, was sur.
prised this week by receiving word
that bis brother William Henry was
alive and we'll. The information came
in a letter written by his brother s
wife from Beloit, Kansas; and as he
thought him at the bottom Of the sea
before this, his surprise can easily be
imagined.
The home of the Joll family was
originally in Freylisburg, P. @, where
the two boys were brought ur. At
the age of 19 William took it into his
head to 60 to sea and went to Mon
treal where he was soon taken as deck
hand on steamer plying between
that port and China. The brother
heard from him occasionally until
about year afterwards correspond
ence ceased. Mr.. Joll had given him
up as lost or at the bottom of the sea,
and was surprised about week ago
when he picked up Montreal Star
and read an advertisement asking for
information concerning one. David
Joll. Needless to say he Immediately
wrote that paper and received an ans
wer to write to Mrs. w. H. Joll, Be-
lott, Kansas! He wrote there and re-
ceived an answer yesterday to the ef-
feet that his brother was in the land
of the living and doing we'll.
1t seems that the reason William
did not write David was that he got
careless in answering the letters, and
finally thinking his brother had left
Freylispurg, he ceased to write. He
says in his letter that he has been
all over the world and had good and
hard times.
He got tired Of wandering and de-
cided to settle down. Being in Kan
sas at the time he bought farm at
Beloit and got married. He is now
the father of ii children.
David is making preparations to go
there this winter and spend a few
months with his newly found rela-
tives.

RIOTS IN COAL FIELDS
The Strikers Fired Upon by the Officers at
Shenandoah
Two KILLED, MANY WOUNDED
There is Great Excitement All Through the Mining Region
Today and Further Trouble Expected.

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. %. - The
war with the striking coal miners un-
expectedly broke out here late yester-
day afternoon when the officers fired
upon a crowd OF strikers who were
threatening the mine workers and
collierieS here. Two men were killed
and seven are known to have been
wounded.
The story of the battle is briefly as
follows:
Sheriff Toole and Deputies O'Don-
nell and Brenneman were called to
suppress the mobs that threatened
mine workers and collieries property.
At quitting time the three sherilfs
and small posse whom the sheriffs
had summoned went to the Indian
Ridge colliery OF the Reading Co., to
escort the workingmen to their homes.
The colliery is located short dis
tance from Shenandoah.
The workmen left for home shortly
after o'clock. They walked up the
middle of East Centre ST., and reached
the Lehigh Valley raildoad. Here
had gathered large crowd Of Poles,
Slavs and HungarianS, men, women
and children, who lined both sides of
the street. A shot rang out from a
saloon. This was followed by a
shower of stones. Many of the crowd
had picked up sticks and stones and
were acting in a threatening man
ner. Seeing this the sheriff, who had
previously cautioned his men to keep
cool and not to use their firearms,
commanded them to fire. The order
was oheyed with terrible results. The
crowd pursued the sheriff and his
posse to the Ferguson house, where
they took refuge.
The militia were promptly ordered
to the scene by the governor. The
4th, 8th and 18th regiments and Bat
terry G, under the command of Gen.
Goblin, left at midnight and today
2, 500 men are under arms here.
Battery G is equipped with Gatling
guns and is one Of the best drilled Or
ganizations in the Guard. Gen. Goblin
is the senior brigadier of the division
and commanded the provisional brig
ade which was ordered to the Hazel
ton region after the Latimer shooting
in 1897.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. %. = All
was quiet here up to noon today. The
troops are constantly arriving, and
there are $500 here. The saloons
have been closed and martial law pre-
walls. The Galleries are idle also, at
the suggestion of the sheriff to avoid
further trouble.
Hazleton, Pa, Sept. 22.-Calmness
prevails but there is tense feeling
against the sending of troops to She
nandoah. Strikers today are careful
not to carry their persuasion into in
timidation. The deputies thus far
have not made themselves conspicuous
and so far the idle men, numbering
over $4,000, do not gather in large
crowds. There is likelihood Of dis
turbance. :,
