The Sheriff Tells of the Shooting

WERE ARMED AND UGLY
He Describes His Efforts to Repress the
Rioters and “’hat Led to .18 Tragedy
J-Large Throng Present to Hear the
Sheriff’s Story.
Wilkesbarre, March 2.—Yesterday
' was the chief day of“ the trial of the
deputies and Sheriff Martin, for the de-
fense in the afternoon put the Sheriff
on the stand and had him tell his
story of the shooting and the events
which led up to it.
It is expected he willbe 'on the stand
for a day and a half at least, half a
day to tell his direct story and fully
a day under cross-examination, which
will probably be conducted by Attorney
Scarlet. Following the Sheriff will
come the deputies, the entire sixty-six
of them, and with their testimony the
evidence will close for thedefense.
Aftei the Commonwealth has, heard
-l
l
wistful biov‘rgin the {one and knocked
about forty witnesses in rebutal the’
case will close, and the closing speech-
es will be made by two attorneys on
each side, and will probably consume
three or four days, and the Judge’s
charge a, whole, day. .,
There was an unusually large crowd
in the court room in expectation of
Sheriff Martin being called to testify.
The row of benches were. filled and ev-
ery inch of standing room was crowd-
ed.
Deathiil-ze
before 3 o’clock,
James Martin was called.
stillness reigned shortly
when the name of
The Sheriff
SHERIFF MARTIN.
took the stand and after some prelimi-
naries regarding the bringing of his
commission into court, he was asked
to tell his story. He said he had been
at Atlantic City and was called home
by his chief deputy, who stated that
there was trouble in the I-Iazleton re—
gion: At the station he was met by
Superintendent Lathrop and Chief
Clerk Chase of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company. The sent for General
Managc‘. Lawally of the Lehigh &
Wilkes barre Coal Company, and he told
of the trouble as far as it had affected
his collicry; The Sheriff advised Law-
all to arbitrate. 'He said he would do
so.
On the advice of his attorney, George
S. Ferris, the Sheriff went at once to
Hazleton. He met there Mr. Zeerby
and Mr. Platt, and they told him what
had been taking place. The Sheriff
asked them to get 100 geod, sensible
men. That night, after hearing from
Operator Kyle that one of his men had
been badly beaten by the strikers, the
Sheriff swore in eighty-seven deputies,
using the prescribed form. He first
asked them if they were citizens. They
said they were citizens and had not
been forced to come.
The Sheriff then went on to tell in
detail about where he had met the
strikers and had dispersed them be-
He had done so at Me-
Adoo, Coleraine, Beaver Brook, Drifton,
Cranberry and other places. _ At first
the strikers were amenable to persua-
sion, he said, but as the days went by
they became much more persistent and
ugly. - They usually carried clubs, and
at the Coleraine breaker a man care-
fully levelled a. gun and firEd at the
Sheriff’s party.
' On Sept. 10 the Sheriff had assem-
bled his posse at Drifton to command
as much of the region as possible. It
was certain that there was to be a. de—
termined move that day to make up for
the failure of Sept. 7 to stop the Latti-
mer miners. '
“Friday morning I reached Drifton
and found all my deputies there. We
went to Lumber Yard, a. central point.
At 1 in the afternoon I got a. message
that the strikers were marching
through Cranberry, bound for Latti-~
mer. 'I hurried off with the Hazleton
deputies to intercept the men at West
Hazlcton. While going there I repeat-
ed my instructions to the deputies
about keeping cool and avoiding trou-
ble if possible.
“The men swore at us when we ap-
proached; cursed me and would not
budge when I told them to do so. I
read my proclamation and walked
through them asking thme to go home.
One ydung man swore at me violently
and said they would go to Lattimer in
spite of me. I arrested him. One
man picked up a stone, but dropped it:
when I pointed my revolver at him.
“I told a crowd of spectators to go
home, as the strikers were desperate
and there might be trouble. Finally
the strikers left the road. and started
off over some lots. Soon I heard they
were going to Lattimer, and I hurried
Jff with mydeputies to intercept them.
i told them again to keep cool and not
to shoot unless their lives or mine were
in danger. After lining them up'along-
side the road I told them I would go
out to meet the strikers ‘and try once
more to disperse them. A deputy asked
if he should go with me. ‘No,’ I said,
‘I’ll go alone.’ I thought one man was
enough to die at once. I felt somehow
there was going to be trouble: .I met
the strikers about fifty yards from the
deputies and asked them Where they

- SPAIN BUYS WARSH'IPS.
She Raises the Cash to Secure Three
Chillan Vessels.
Madrid, March 2.—-Spain succeeded
yesterday, in a“. manner not yet disclos-
ed, in raising the cash necessary to se-
cure- three Cliilian warships, which
have been in the market for more than
a- year. The purchase is practically
completed.
According to information which is
tntitled to be considered authoritative,
these ships will soon be added to the
Spanish navy, unless hostilities with
the United States should break out be-
fore their actual transfer to the Span-
ish flag, in which case international
law would prevent their use by Spain.
It is surmised that the Security for
a loan made yesterday for the purchase
of. the ships is the monopoly of the im-
portation, 1efining and sale of petro-
leum and other mineral oils, which
monopoly, it has been announced, will
be soid at auction on March 23.
Oleoinargarine Convictions.
Philadelphia, March 2.——Joseph Wil-
kins and Howard Butler, wholesale and
retail dealers in oleomargarine at
Washington, were to-day convicted in
the United States District Court of vio-
lating the laws regulating thepurchase
and sale of oleomargarine. The de-
fendants have been frequent offenders
against this law, but this is their first
conviction 'in court. They were to—
day found guilty on all of three counts:
Removing the manufacturers' labels
from packages of oleomargarine, re-
moving the internal revenue stamps,
and removing the brand of the word
"Oleomargarine." Sentence was de-
ferred, and Judge Butler refused to
grant the request that they be admit—
ted to bail pending argument on a. de-
murrer which was filed. They were
removed to prison toxawait sentence.
liliners Ready to Avenge the llIaine.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 2.—If the Board
of Inquiry finds that the Maine was
blown up the coal miners of the Pitts-
burg District want war. In their con-
vention yesterday, they took this ac-
tion:
Resolved, That should the my estiga-
tion of the United States officials prove
that this disaster is the work of as:
sassins, we hold ourselves in readiness
to demand that justice be done to all
concerned, or we will defend the honor
of our land by force.”
Americans Have Friends. ‘
London, March 2.——J. Astley Cooper
writes to the Sportsman to-day pro-
testing against the Oxford University
Athletic Club Committee’s rejection of
the American challenge as “hasty and
ungenerous toward Americans, and
savoring of a reflection on the honesty
of the American proposal.” He says
a. more suitable time to criticise the
bona fides of amateur status would
have been when the American team
had been selected. ~
Governor Hastings Going to California.
Harrisburg, Pa.., March 2.——Gov. and
Mrs. Hastings and Miss Hastings, Sen-
ator and Mrs. Cochran and Miss Coch-
ran, and Attorney-General and Mrs.
McCormick will leave to-morrow even-
ing for a; trip of three weeks in Cali-
fornia. Governor Hastings feels that
he will be perfectly safe in leaving the
State at this time as he does not re-
gard the rumors of war as at all in-
iicative of imminent danger.

”HIGH TEMPERATURE 1N" "Tomas;
The Snow-Covered Alps Have Vex-y Warm
Hearts -
ti veiy cufibus that the great ob-
.acleS encountered in tunneling under
the snow- covered Alps is the excessive-
lyl ‘igh temperature. In the construc-
1,1011 of the Mount Cenis tunnel, accord-
ing to statistics, the high-est tempera-
ture recorded was 86 degrees Fahrenheit
which was reached at a point near the
.11
center of the tunnel, about 5,100 feet be-~
neath the mountain summit, on which
the mean temperature is 27 degrees.
The St. Gothard was 'still hotter, a
temperature of 95, degrees'having been
observed in the center for several day’s.
Such a. heat, in a. moisture-laden and
impure atmosphere, could be endured
but five hours a day for two days in
three; and so prostrating was the labor
at Mont Cenis and St. Gothard'that the
physician who attended the working-
men ten years reports the number of
invalids to have been as great as sixty
to the one hundred. Stranger still
was :the appearance of a tropical dis~
ease—due to intestinal parasites—that
is known onlyin the hottest regions
of the earth. Even greater rock tem-
peratures are expected in the great tun—
nels projected in recent years—those of
the Simplon, St. Bernard and Mont
Blane—experienced engineers predict-
ing that under Mont Blanc a heat con-
siderably greater than 100 degrees—
possibly above 125 degrees—will be
reached. Improved methods of vein
tilating, cooling and working will all
contribute, however, toward overcom-
lng the difliculties of w01king.—-B-os—

CYCL!STS SEE A STRANGE SIGHT.
A Teuton’s
Down a Big Hill.
“We Americans traveling abroad are
apt to- be very proud of our reputation
for cleverness,” said a tourist who
went bicycling in EurOpe last summer.
“And no doubt we have reason to be.
But I am going to tell you how Iliad
some of the conceit taken out of me:'
“We were going through Switzerland
and had reachedtbe close of the first
day’s descent toward Geneva. The
road had been too steep to coast with-
out the aid of a brake, and, as we were
afraid to use our brakes for fear our
tires would not last us through the trip,
we back—pedalled all the way.
“As we were sitting after supper on
the veranda of the‘iodge discussing the
fatigue of our unusual exercise, and
dreading the marrow, which meant
more of the same sort, our attention
was suddenly called to a cloud of dust
descending the mountain side. Then
we saw a cyclist, coastingas nice as
you please, towing a. good-sized sap-
ling, which aeted as an effective brake,
Without injury to the tires. One of the
boys ejaculated: ‘Welll Why didn’t
we think of that?’ The rest were sim-
ply dumb. That man was a German.
I new take off my hat to Our German
brethren of the wheel.”—Pall Mall Ga—

USED CANDLES FOR TIPS.
How anhAmercian Got Even with an Ex-
tortionate Bill.
An American consul in Belgium tells
of a New Yorker who was shown to a
room in a hotel in BrusSels where he .
found twenty candles stuck in a chari-
delier in the center. As it was dark,
the attendant lighted them all; but the
guest 'had been in European hotels be—
fore, and made him put them out im-'
mediately. It was of no avail, howev-
er. In his bill next day he found them
charged, “Twenty candles, 10 francs.”
So ,he went back to the reom and took
them all out, wrapped them in a bit of
paper and slipped them into his pock-
et.
When he was about to leave he found
the servants drawn up in two lines
in the ball, in the European style—emu
men servants, on one side, ten maid
servants on the other, all smiling and
ready for the expected tip. Then he
drew out his package and distributed
the candles, one to each. “Allow, me,
monsieur,”_ said he, With a bow; “per-
mit me, madame. They are very su-
perior candles,‘I assure you; I paid 10
cents apiece for them;” and he left
them all staring at their candles like
so many altar boys.

Pcnnilcss Printer—A Paris Woman’s
Suicidal Mania suggested by Her Hus-

Has hypnotism’s mysterious power
become a— menace to humanity? In
many plaCeS hypnotism‘has broken out
in epidemic form of late and sensible
ceisons have been aroused to action
against this weird agency by feelings
of dread and danger.
In this country there have never
been laws against the practice ofhyp-
aotism, as there are in many Europe-
an lands, and it has long been » the
privilege of any person so choosing to.
set up as a hypnotist. Outside of the
many pretenders, there are three class-
es who perform, or attempt, hypnotism
—the physicians, who make use of it
n their practice; the professionals,
who really possess to a marked degree
the power of exerting this influence
aver others, and the amateurs, who
ittempt ithor fun.
A most apt and curiously romantic
story hinging upon the hypnotic agen-
:y of an amateur has just come from
Atlanta, Ga. James Cari-away, former-
ly a printer of that town, but now a.
hypnotist and “mind reader, Won and
married Miss Tillie Meyer of New
York, an heiress, whose father is re-
puted to be worth $3,000,000. The
marriage followed a courtship lasting
)ut two hours. Carraway was giving
exhibitions at St. Augustine, Fla., and
net Miss Meyer at the hotel Where he
was staying. A few hypnotic glances
9f the eye and a powwow of the hands,
11111 the trick of winning an heiress
was done. 4
The news that young Carraway had
won an heiress created a. tremendous
sensation among his former Atlanta
issociates, who knew him as a penni-
less printer a month ago. He now
occupies the most expensive apart-
ments at the swellest hotels and gives
it out as his intention to go to India. to
re-
search, and that it is likely he will re-
tire from the hypnotic stage in defer-
ence to his wife’s wishes. . ,
Another curious and unusual in-
stance is that told of Charles W. Smi—
ey of Washington, a well-known pub-
isher of scientific magazines, whose
vife is suing him for divorce. Smiley
ias just filed his answer to his wife’s
31%. Mrs. Smiley, it appears, charged
ier husband with cruelty, with “inoc-
1lating her with ideas inconsistent
with modern civilization, with undue
Enfluenee over her, and practically with
1ypnotizing her and inoculating theo-
1ophical teachings.” In his answer Mr.
Smiley, after disposing of the conven-
:ional charges, said that so far as those
:ouching hypnotism and theosophy
were concerned they were “scandalous.
’rrelevant and impertinent.”
Perhaps the most remarkable of all
:he recent stories of the malevolent or
tinister use of the hypnotic power was
that which came from Paris. Among
:he patients who went to consult a cer-
:ain physician was a woman who com-
olained of terrible hallucinations im-
pelling her to commit suicide. In the
talk that followed, the doptor discover-
ed that the woman’s husband had in-
sured her life for a. considerable sum,
1nd also was in the habit -of putting
aer under the hypnotic influence. It
iaturally occurred to the physician
hat there might be some secret relation
between these'two facts. He put his
oatieut to Sleep and ordered her to re-
veal what her‘husband had suggested
-.0 her while in the trance state. Un-
ler the mesmcrie influence, the wife
:old her story. She said she had been
)rdered by her husband to commit-sui-
:ide within two months, and also that
1e had enjoined her with great emphau
;is to keep this order entirely secret.
the doctor was discreet enough to ob-
tain witnesses to the woman’s state-
ments, and thus the husband’s plan for
seating the insurance companies was
ialked.
There is always gloat dange1 in the
experiments of the parlor hypnotists,
who do not understand anything about
:he mysterious force, but who often
:ry it out of curiosity, feeling a pride
:n being able to manipulate apower so
great and so wonderful. It is looked
men as a novel entertainment for a.
:ompany of guests at evening gather-
ngs. Often they fail to rouse their
subjects from the'r cataleptic condi-
tion, and a physician has to be sum-
noned. Even then the subject may die
if brain fever or other malady superin-
luced by the experiment.
Most physicians agree with this opin-
ron lately voiced by Dr. Sh-rady of New
York: “No person except a regularly
incredited practicing physician should
axperiment in hypnotism, and not even
a. physician unless he has made’some
It is too
langerous a force to be carelessly tam-
pered with. In time I hOpe to see the
enactment of laws prescribing severe
penalties for any person othersthan a
physician hypnotizing another, and for
any misuse orabuse of this power,
whether by a physician or by a lay-
man.” .
Reason Doctors (harried (lanes.
It was formerly the practice among
physicians to use a cane with'a hol-
low head, the top of which was gold
pierced with holes like a peppe1 box.
The top contained a small 'quantity of
1‘romatic poWder, or snuff and on en-
‘i'eiing a house 01 room where a disease
supposed to be infectious prevailed,
the doctor woulds trike his cane on

What Befell a Veteran of T.
the Civil War Long Af-_
ter His Di_s¢hatrg‘e.
An old colonial soldier lying in a._
hospital improvised for theOccasion af-
ter the battle of saratcga, was patient-
ly waiting until his time came for ex-
amination. When the physicians sur-
rounded his humble pallet to probe for '
abullet in his chest, he opened his ,
shirt bOsom. shut his eyes and said,-
“I’m ready.” Neither groan, sigh or
cry escaped him, but as the probe
reached the piece of lead he opened
his eyes and said: “Doctor, an inch
deeper and you will find General Wash-
ington. ” In the Revolution and Civil
War the American soldier withstood
hardships that almost equalled those
when Napoleon retreated from Moscow,
and Sir John M001 e retired to Corruna. ‘

Crofut & Knapp’s hat factory, only
echoes the experience of'thousands of
his comrades, when he says “I Was a
boy when I‘ enlisted in the army, and
exposure and hardship Weakened the
physically. In the factory we use
under the boilers about two tons of
coal per day, and as I do m'yown firing
I have to handle it. It was quite a job
fora man who had trouble with his
kidneys, and I was always anxious to
get rid of it. Slight urinary difliculty
set in, and as I noticed an advertise-
ment about Doan’s Kidney Pills curing
such cases I got a box and took them.
After taking the first box my back did
not ache. I felt so much better, and
the secretions were natural I am

mp VAN WINKLE’S INCONGRUITY.
Jefferson Discovers Something About His
Celebrated Play. - .
Joe Jefferson calls attention to an in-
teresting fact regarding Rip Van Win-
kle. He says:
“There is one incongruity in Rip Van
Winkle which is seldom criticised. Pos-
sibly none of you ever noticed it. In-
deed, I will confess that until recently
the fact never occurred to me with any
force. .Well, you could never guess, so
I will tell you. It is this: Rip Van
Winkle is the only‘ person in, the play
who speaks English with a slightly
broken Dutch accent. All of the other
characters are obliged to content them-
selves with ordinary English.
“It heightens the efiect for Rip to
speak as he does in broken accents, but
if all the other characters were to at-
tempt a dialect there would be such a.
variety of accent that the efiect would
be incongruous and ridiculous. All
the feeling and sentiment of the play
would be lost in this polyglot attempt
at dialect.
“"Seve1al years ago a man engaged
to play Nick Vedder came on at rehear-
sal and commenced to talk in the
broadest low Dutch accent. I stopped
him at once, but, in his own defense,
he exclaimed:
“ ‘But, Nick Vedder would talk that
way, wouldn’t be, if Rip Van Winkle
did?’ .
_ “ ‘Yes,’ I replied, ‘he would, but you
mustn’t,’ and no doubt the man thought
me very unreasonable. But this only
illustrates the point that many things '
apparently .. illogical must be .done on
the stage to secure effect by inspiring
the imagination. Absolute realism
would be fatal. Under certain condi-
tions it is the necessity of dramatic
art to make the impossible seem real."

In Alabama “'omnn's Gray [lair Turns
Black and “'rinklcs Disappear.
Limestone county, Alabama, has an
nteresting phenomenon. Mrs. Polly
Emry, aged 87 years, a white woman
if a highly respectable family, ap-
iears to have fallen heir to another
naidenhood. For a quarter of a cen-
;u1'a1'y she has been an old woman,
with white hair and no teeth, and
.lie weight of years was apparent in
1er wrinkled face and enfeebled move—
nents. Twenty-seven years ago her
)ldes-t brother, who was a dentist, ex-
.racted every tooth from her mouth.
About a year ago her health com-
nenced to materially improve. Her
:trcngth rapidly returned, her figure
necame more erect, her eyes brighter.
ier movements more elastic. Her haii
1180 became perceptibly darker. ‘ Her
gums commenced to swell andfiually
1ew teeth appeared. The change in a
rear is said to be astonishing. Her
lair is new black. She has a new and
tubstantial set of teeth as white and
atrong as a maiden’s. Her vitality is
greatly increased; her strength has re-
‘urned and her appearance 'is said to
1uggest her age as forty instead of
nore than twice that number of years.
She is a-womari 'of refinement and of
idmirable qualities, and 'her apparent
1ew lease on life is a subject of sincere
:ongratulation among he1 neighbors.
