MORE RUMORS OF MARCHING
gCavalI-y Sent to Vicinity of Coxe Work-
. ings to Prevent Trouble ---— The In-
fluence of the Priests Exerted
In the Right Direction.
Hazleton. Pa., Sept. 15.——NeWs has
been received at brigade headquarters
that the district where the Coxe mines
are located is infested with bands of
marching miners. No word has yet
come from the cavalry troops sent to
the scene.
The Audenreid miners refused to re-
turn to work today. The Stockton men
went out, and the indications are that
the whole district will be idle within a
few days.
Immediately upon the receipt of the
dispatch that a number of strikers were
marching on the Coxe mines and that
violence had already been resorted to,
measures were taken at brigade head-
quarters .to send a body of cavalry to
the scene. The governor’s troop of
Harrisburg and the Philadelphia city
troops were split, and half of each body,
under marching orders, started at an
early hour today. It is a tiresome ride
.7 over rough mountain passes to Eckley,
which lies in a valley. Another troop of
cavalry is kept ready for an emergency
call. Meanwhile a dispatch from Roan
Junction, about two miles from Eckley,
confirmed the news of trouble and con-
tained the additional information that
a body of deputy sheriffs had been sent
to Eckley in response to a call from the
mine superintendents there.
General Gobinngeceived news from the
Ieddo district which was not of a reas-
'7, suring tenor. It stated that 100 strikers
’ from Coxe’s Drifton mine had marched
on colliery No. 5 with signs of turbu—
lence and openly vowing that they
would bring out the men there. Arriv-
lng at the colliery, the marching men
were halted by E. B. M=arkle, who came
from the colliery. He asked for a con—
sultation with the leaders of the men,
and after a few moments’ talk among
themselves they selected a committee of
"three. When the news was sent, these
were in conference with Mr. Markle,
While the other strikers were waiting on
the road.
Little Concert of Action.
Widespreadas is the strike in the
Hazleton region, there has been no con-
certed action by the men at the different
mines. All the strikers are working for
the same end—an increase of about 10,
per cent in wages—bunt they go about
it as separate clans. Some of them are
raising a side issue about the company
store, where they are subject to its
abuses, but others have no complaint of
At the Coxe
Bros.’ mines at Drifton, Stockton
and Eckley‘the men are paid in cash.
They had been uneasy, however, for
some time, and this uneasiness resulted
in about 300 men at Eckley joining the
strikers.
To a‘great extent the strikers have
been restrained from open acts of vio-
lence by the priests, whose influence
prevails to a remarkable degree. At
several turbulent meetings
threatened to end in bloodshed the
priests have gone among the excited
foreigners, commanding silence and
forcing them back. They warn the 'men
that to destroy the coal company’s
property is only to take food from their
own mouths by shutting off future em—
, ploymen‘t. The priests, however, have no
plea for the sheriff’s deputies who shot
the men at Lattimer, and some of them
are active .members of the committee
that is to push the murder charges in
court.
No attempt will be made to arrest the
deputies so long as. troops are camp-
ed at Hazleton. General Gobin’s
declaration that he will protect the
sheriff’s men just as long as he is in
command has cooled the ardor of those
who are for going about the matter;
hastily. The strike leaders and their
attorneys deny the right of General Go-
bin to enforce such an order, but they
admit he has too many guns for them.
District Attorney Fell, it is said, is
against an immediate serving of the
warrants, though he is interested in
the prosecutions. -
Several of the deputies who left the
town immediately after the" shooting
--are known to be in Philadelphia and
Easton, outside of General Gobin’s ter-
ritory, but it is not likély that they will
be arrested before those who are under
military protection.
Gomer Jones Talks.
Superintendent Gomer Jones, whose
rule the strikers at the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre mines rebelled against and
who is regarded by the majority of the .
men as being responsible for all their
troubles, discussed the situation today.
Mr. Jones is an Englishman by birth
and came here from Stedston, where
he had spent seven years as a superin-
tendent, previous to which time he had
12 years’ experience as a foreman and
in other capacities at the upper Lehigh
nines. He has Worked his way up from
the bottom to his present position, to
which he was promoted three months
ago from the position of assistant dis-
trict superintendent. Asked about the
cause of ’the' miners’ dislike for him
the superintendent said: '
”When I came here a year ago I came
to restore discipline in the mines and to
Operate them in such a manner that the
companycould continue in business.
The disciplinewas certainly lax. "The
men did about as they pleased. The two
superintendents-Who were here then as-
sociated .3with the men, mixed with
them, drank with them and were re-
‘garded as-‘hail fellows well met’ every—
where among the miners. Now I cannot;
do that. I’m not a drinking man, and
I’ve never made it a practice to hobnob
with the men. However, When I give
prders I‘expect them to be obeyed and
do not permit miners to do exactly as
they please.” '
“In this policy you were carrying out ,
the instructions of the comp ny?” he
_.was asked. '
Discharged Many Men.
“I was.
.wployed for. Then I dismissed a. gocd
many of the men—about 80, I think—-'
but I never put anybody in their places.
"0n the night that the strikers 'came
to my house and stole $200 worth of,
silverware and broke the furniture we
cruld have killed a hundred of themi!
? .
which .
That was what I was em— ‘
we 'had wanted to. It was a drunken
"mob, that was all, and I thought we had
had enough bloodshed. Seven of my
men he. rd that the strikers were on
the way to my house to get some win-
chesters we had here, and the: name!
and warned me. We removed the rifles
to a. place of safety, and when the mob
came we were down here back of the
house, but in sight of it. We were all
armed with winchesters, and my mer
wanted to shoot, but I would not let
them.”
“Are you not afraid of violence a: the
hands of the strikers if. they get hold
of you?”
“No; I have been here every day since
the strike commenced. I walk abroad
in the streets day or night withoht run-
ning any risk, and I do not think the:-
would lay hands on me.”
“Do you anticipate trouble when tb
men go back to work tomorrow? Will
not others come and try to get them
out?”
“No, I do not think so. I believe that
the other operators will grant the con-
cessions that the men ask for. It must
come some time, wages are so low now.
They had got to a point where the men
could hardly exist if cut down any
further.”
The Situation at Wilkelbarre.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 15.—It was re-
ported today that a constable was in
:own with a warrant looking for Sheriff
Martin. At the sheriff’s office it was
said who demand” had been made for
1im._ Sheriff Martin was still in Hazle-
:on.
The various Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
:ollieries on the south side and at Beav-
er Creek did not resume work today, as
was anticipated. Superintendent Lawall
stated that the men would resume work
:0-morrow unless interfered with by the
strikers of the Yorktown collier'y of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company. General
Superintendent Lathrop of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company went to Hazleton
this morning to arrange with the em-
ployees for an adjustment of their
grievances. The grievances are being
:onsidered by the company officials, who
will meet the committee of strikers in
a. day or two and endeavor to make a
speedy settlement. The officials will
make some concessions to the men and
hope to get ,them back to work the lat-
ter part of the week, and thus add ma-
terially in quieting the troublesome
masses in that region. ,
‘THE CONWAY KIDNAPING.
Trial of the Alleged Conspirators to Be-
gin Next \Vednesday.
Albany, Sept. 15.—'—Joseph M. Hardy
and Henry G. Blake, the kidnapers of
little Johnnie Conway, were arraigned
in the county court today before Judge
Gregory to plead to an indictment
found against them by the grand-jury
for kidgaping. The prisoners, who
were flanked by court Officers, appeared
nervous and ill at ease. The indict—
ment. as read by District A torney
Burlingame, charged them, in conjunc-
tion with another (Warner, the arch
conspirator), with having kidnaped
from his home one John Conway on
Aug. 16 last. Hardy, who appeared to
be the cooler of the two, entered a plea
of not guilty,’while his colleague in
crime, Blake, asked the court to grant
his further time to consider his plea.
The court gave him until Thursday to
make up his mind. Hardy’s trial was
set down for Wednesday next, the 22d
inst. Not having money to hire coun-
sel, at his own request the court as-
signed P. C. Dugan. The district at-
torney gave Blake to understand that
his trial would be moved at the same
time, provided he decided to enter a
plea of not guilty.

For Three Years He Suffered—Could.

Closed for Ten Years.
Mr. A..M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-
velo::.~~.. Instead of seeking his couch,
lud for {21.}. night’s coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long. weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before. him.
