Barker had gone TO the scene OF the
trouble, orders being given him not 10 fire
on any house in which there were any
women or children. Before the troops ar
rived, 1t having been ascertained that there
were no women or children in this house,
IL also was fired. Meantime the negro, who
was armed with two winchester rifles and
was an expert shot had killed three more
white officers and wounded two others, and
two negroes had also been killed, but the
ringleader would not come cut, remaining
until the house was burned down over him.
The whole trouble grew out Of the attack
upon and severe wounding of the county
policeman by the negroes. Three negroes
are in Jail.
''I have ordered all the troops in the city
under arms and have heavy force on duty

prevent further trouble All harmless
negroes and their homes will be protected

the part of anybody. white or black. will
be met with whatever force may be neces-

but the order was rescinded pending the
negotiations. Thirty-ive hundred men are
involved.
Mr. Justi said to-day he believed the soft
coal men generally would aid their fenowS
in this region mainly IL a financial way
He also said that the United Mine Workers
would be making a mistake In breaking
their agreement with the soft-coal opcr@
atOrs. as they would be losing IN the bP
luminous region one of the things they are
fighting for IN this territory, namely, a
yearly wage agreement. Mr.. Jusu sald
that the Illinois system of treating with
ment with the union is the best now exist
ing. and he would like 10 see the anthracltq
miners and the coal presidents adopt the
same system here. Until this Is done, ne
said. there will always be trouble.
Nothing official was given out to-day re
garding the calling out of the bituminous
miners. 1t is understood, however, thai
the district presidents of the three anthTa'
cite districts are in communication with
the presidents Of the bituminous districts
for the purpose of getting two OF them To
make up the five necessary TO call spe'
cial national convention 10 consider the
advisability of calling out the soft-coaI
miners This is believed to be mere for
mality, as ii is thought the West Virginia
and Michigan districts will agree 10 the
assembling of such a convention.
Reports received at strike headquarters
to-day were to the effect that the order TO
strike was being carried out to the letter
Several rUmors reached here to-day that
nonunion men, of whom there are com
paratively few, had made attempts 10 re.

one of these could be verified.

FOUR BAPTIZED IN
THE ROARING BROOK
Services Were in Charge of Rev. j.
B. Boddie, Assisted by the
Rev. Andrew Jones.

-Four women were baptised yesterday
afternoon in the Roaring Brook, below
Dam No. 4. in the presence of several
hundred people. most of whom were
colored, and identified with the Shiloh
Baptis. church, at the corner of Adams
avenue and Mulberry street.
The service was in charge of the pas
tor, Rev. j. B. Boddie, assisted by Rev.
Andrew Jones, who has gained wide
reputation as a prophet. The women,
who were immersed in the brook. were
Davis, Miss Lucy Akers and Miss Ida
z. johnson.
The baptismal services were similar
to those held at the same place several
weeks ago. and the presence of Prophet
Jones added interest to the event. He
warned the people to prepare for the
future by accepting Christ as their
guide. In referring to the recent miSe
disaster at Johnstown, he said the peo-
pie should be in mourning for the suf-
fcleis of stricken sister city.
At the home of Rev. BOddie, after
tl,c service above referred to. a Tribune
man had a talk with Prophet Jones.
He is a sober minded, serious man, who
says that it is his duty to go about the
country wherever God tells him to go,
and forewarn people of impending dan
gers, which are revealed to him in
dreams.
He said that two and a half years
after the flood at Johnstown, which he
predicted. he "saw hole" in that city,
n at ba ~
Juhnstown and Connemaugh that God
would visit them again.
On May 4. during his last visit to
Scranton. the prophet predicted dire
disaster for the country by devasta ting
floods, causing destruction to crops,
etc, and also said that the people of
this city, Pittston and Wilkes-Br
would suffer from food famine. These
predictions. he claims, have been sub
siantiated by the unusually heavy rains
during the last month and the strike
among the miners and the beef trust
trouble.
At that time Mr.. Jones preached from
the text found in the sixth verse and
twenty-ninth chapter of Isaiah, "Thou
shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts,
with thunder, and with earthquake,
and great noise, with storm and temp
est, and the flame of devouring fire."
1t will be recalled that the Mt, Pelee
eruption occurred shortly afterward.
The prophet is positive that the cities
of New York and Chicago are cursed.
and that the wrath of God will surely
be visited upon them. He also fears a
food famine, as the recent weather con-
d!tlons indicate such to him.

In his sermon at the cathedral yes
terday morning. Bishop Hoban declared
for war on saloonkeepers who serve
drinks to young girls.
He addressed himself particularly to
members of the Holy Name society. an
organization composed Of the adult
male members of the congregation, and
having for it's chief purposes the sup
preston of immortality and profanity.
The bishop told Of several instances
Of the evil results of the saloon side
door" that had come to his notice and
Of how he had been rebuffed in his
personal efforts to correct the evil.
After this, he called on the men of the
parish to get together and fight against
this curse, urging them to stop at no
legitimate ends to accomplish its OBJ
liberation.
One of the instances he related was
to the effect that when he sought to
stop this evil at one saloon by having
an influential citizen personally appeal
to the saloonkeeper, he was told that
the saloonkeeper declared he had no
fear of any one as he was backed by a
certain brewer.
II care not said the bishop, "if
every brewer and every millionaire in
The city, for that matter. was back of
saloonkeeper. he must give up this
practice of selling drink to young girls
That it Is high time some one should
make move against this evil is patent
to everyone who Is "about town" to any
considerable extent. 1t Is not every sa-
loon which indulges in this practice,
but there are so many that do that 1t
can be fairly said to be general.
Scores of girls of tender years think
1t jolly lark to pick up with drum
mer" or some man about town and ac-
company him to a saloon to have a
glass Of beer or wine. Some of them
are strong enough to resist the telnpta-
ton to "see life" a little further
Eventually. in some cases, the 'ladies
entrance" of the saloon is the portal to
the path not straight or narrow.
Just what practical movement
against this evil will come of the
bishops sermon is yet to develop. 1t
can be relied upon. however, that his
words will bear good fruit.

given, the first and second being ham,

arrived home safely before 8 o'clock.

occasion Is an evidence of the happy
relations existing between them.
