Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 23. The hear
ing in the case of Sheriff Martin and hl3
deputies, charged with murder in the
killing of 24 marching strikers at Lat-
tlmer recently, has been concluded, and
the accused men must stand trial.
After all the important testimony
had been ' presented yesterday the
judges had a conference, and Jnde-r.
Lynch asked Fell what he wished done.
Mr. Fell said: "Und er tVlfV viflonro T
think these deputies should be held for
court." The judge then asked why the
other deputies were not arrested, and
Senator" Kline said some of them went
away after the shooting and have not
been seen or heard of since. The names
of the deputies were called, and to the
roll call 73 answered and 12 did not.
All those who answered to their names
stepped forward and delivered them
selves up on a charge of murder.
Joseph A. Sinn, representing the City
Trust Safe Deposit and Surety com
pany, of Philadelphia, advanced and
became surety in the sum of $5,000 ball
for each of the deputies for their ap
pearance at the next term of criminal
court to answer the charge of murder.
Each of the defendants, through their
bondsman, Mr. Sinn, also gave $1,000
bail on an additional charge of felon
ious wounding. The men then repaired
to court room No. 2, where they signed
their names to the bail pieces, and the
preliminary hearing 'came to an end.
The amount of bail for the 73 depu
ties at $5,000 for murder and $1,000 for
felonious wounding amounts to $438,
000.' lr the other 12 deputies come in
and give similar bail the total would
reach over $500,000. - .
The preliminary fhearing was begun
on Tuesday. John- M. Garman opened
for the prosecution, stating that he was
employed . to investigate the shooting
and inquire if the sheriff and his depu
ties were justified in killing 24 men
He referred to "Dictator Gobin," who
had refused to allow deputies to be
arrested, and spoke of Coroner McKee
being a major in the Ninth regiment.
He made a motion that the original
warrants of arrest, issued by 'Squire
Gorman, be given the preference, and
the motion was supported by Attorney
John McGahren. The motion was de
nied, and Attorneys Garman and Mc
Gahren announced their withdrawal
from the case.
. The testimony at the hearing was
merely a repetition of the statements
already published. Only one witness
declared that Sheriff Martin gave the
order to fire, while the others could not
tell where the order came from. It was
sworn to that Deputy Rought deliber
ately shot a fleeing striker fuily five
minutes after the fatal volley.
The inquest into the deaths of the
Lattimer victims, was begun at Hazle
ton today by Coroner McKee. There
were a number of attorneys present.
including District Attorney Fell, H. A.
Fuller, who appeared for the coroner,
Messrs. Garman, McGahren and Lough-
ran, for the prosecution, and G. H
Troutman, for the deputies. Dr. Tho
dorovitch and Attorney Coxe, repre
senting the Austrian consulate in Phil
adelphia, were also present. All the
mines have resumed operations, and
comparatively few men are still out.
The stride situation .remains un
changed, except for the return to work
yesterday of those Harwood miners
who were afraid to go back on "Wednes
day. Every colliery in the region work
ed, and there was not the slightest dis
order anywhere.
The Evans breaker of A. S. Van
Winkle & Co., operated by Kennedy &
Warner, at Beaver Meadow, four miles
from Hazleton, was - burned to the
ground Tuesday night. The operators are
convinced that it was incendiary. Th
loss will be about $50,000. The breaker
has been idle since noon last Tuesday,
not as a consequence of the strike, but
on account of a lack of water. Tap
ping for water was to have begun to
day, and the breaker would have re
sumed work immediately. It is as
serted that women had a hand in the
lire, one having been heard to remark:

STEWART Ii. "WOODFORD.
Duke of Tetuan,the foreign minister,
was of the most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness of the press
and of public opinion has painfully im
pressed him, but he hopes this will soon
be allayed, as he believes liis mission
favorable to Spanish interests, and
cannot comprehend that Spain could
reject mediation designed to end an
impoverishing war. He has not named
a time at which the war must be ter
minated, but he hopes, as the result of
his tenders, that it will be-ended quick
ly. He , believes the war Is inflicting
incalculable losses upon the United
States, and that it is impossible to pre
vent the organization of filibustering
expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to pro
tect Minister, Woodford on his journey
from San Sabastian to this city, but
the trip was quite uneventful. A party
of gendarmes, commanded by a sub
lieutenant, .guarded the southern ex
press on which he was a passenger.
Secret police, were nested1 at, the station.
and the prefect of police was in waiting
to escort him to his hotel. The drive
through the streets was marked by no
special incident, though several people
saluted him, receiving a bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by
the fact that Minister Woodford's
family has not accompanies him, but
remains behind the French frontier,
Minister Woodford explains that his
party is a large one, requiring a com
modious home, and prefers spending a
pleasant October at Biarritz until a
suitable residence can be secured here.
The legation cannot be used as a resi
dence. General Woodford has already
engaged a box at the Royal Opera
House and has purchased horses.
The declaration is made here, and -is
being generally circulated, that the
Spanish troops in Cuba have recap
tured Victoria de las Tunas, which was
taken by the insurgents under Calixto
Garcia and Jesus Rabi on Sept 5.

Boys Played With Matches.
Chillicothe, O., Sept. 24. The village
of BaTnbridge was the scene of a dis
astrous conflagration yesterday after
noon. An entire square, containing
most of the prominent business houses,
several handsome residences and the
Methodist church, was entirely destroy
ed, .and two prominent men lost their
lives in an explosion which occurred
in the drug store of W. P. Beardsley.
The fire was started in a barn in the
rear of Perrill Brown's general store
by two little boys who were playing
with matches. The flames jBpread rap
idly. In the midst or the excitement a
terrible explosion occurred in the drug
store, and Mr. Beardsley. who was in
side endeavoring to save some proper
ty, lost his life. His brother-in-law,
Thomas Higgins, who went to his res
cue, was unable to get out, and was
burned to death, while several others
were mere or less injured, but none
fatally. .
PEARY AT BOSTON.
The Monster Meteorite to Be Removed
at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Boston, Sept. 27. The steam whaling
bark Hope, Captain John Bartlett,
which had just returned from the
Arctic, arrived here yesterday from
Sydney, C. B. In conversation with
a representative Lieutenant Peary
said:
"The 100 ton meteorite in the hold of
the Hope fell from the skies hundreds of
years ago and has been the source of
iron supplies of the Esquimaux. I dis
covered it in May, 1894, and since that
time have been trying to secure it and
bring it to America. We have on board
six Esquimaux. The oldest of these is
Nook-Tak, 40 years old, the son of the
old chief Kooloatoonah, who plotted vto
murder Dr. Hayes and some of his com
panions. With him is his wife, Ah Tung
Ah Nak Soah, 45 years old, and their
daughter, Ah Wee Ah, 12 years old. The
others are Ke Sun, 35 years old, with
his 9-year-old boy, Mee Ni, and a young
man, Wee Shak Up SI, 21 years old.
They will remain with me here tuis
winter to. arrange the ethnological
specimens and will return to the north
next summer with me. These people
belong to the tribe from which I shall
select my colony next year. '
In speaking of the last expedition
Lieutenant Peary said:
"I consider the chief things ac
complished were the -arrangements
with the Esquimaux for my next year's
journey. From this time out they will
be securing furs and ; other skins for
clothing, and have all in readiness for
me next year, so that within 24 hours
after my arrival there I shall be ready
to embrace the first opportunity to
push forward for the point I wish to
reach.
"The statements appearing in the
papers that we had discovered some
gruesome things about the hut of the
Greely expedition is all nonsense. We
found no 'graveyard' belongings.
"The Hope will make for the Brook
lyn navyyard, where I have permis
sion from the authorities to use the
the weapons, and the meeting took
place in a secluded suburban section,
attended by seconds and doctors, after
the accustomed regulations observed in
such cases.
One bullet from the weapon o Dr.
Wolff struck the premier in the arm,
the ball plowing its way through the
limb and passing out above the wrist.
The services of a physician were im
mediately availed of on the field, and
after the premier's wound had been
dressed the dueling party hastened
from the scene.
The -wound does not prevent the
count from transacting business, but
it is said that his arm may have to be
amputated. .
The emperor has telegraphed expres
sions of warmest sympathy, and has
requested hourly information concern
ing the condition of the wounded man.
The duel has caused the wildest sensa
tion throughout Austria. It arose out of
the riotous scenes at the opening of the
reishrath, when Count Badeni, with
arms crossed and head on his breast,
listened unmoved by the clamor and
gesticulations of the German party.
His attitude was most Irritating. The
whole left formed a threatening group
around him, conspicuous among them
being the great lean face of Wolff, as
he pressed forward and thrust his fist
into Count Badenl's face, saying: "If
this Is your policy, It is misserable
chicanery." Some declare that Dr..
Wolff called him a "Polish pig." He
was pulled bask by his colleagues, but
continued uttering menaces.
Early on Friday Count Badeni sent
his seconds to Dr. Wolff, who accepted
the challenge. The premier sent a tel
egram to the emperor asking permis
slon to fight the 'duel, and at the same
time tendering his resignation. In re
ply he received not only permission to
fight, but also the imperial approval.
Count Badeni then made" his will, after
which ; he spent the evening at the

wife and family knew nothing about
the affair until the duel was over.
The combatants met at the military
riding school. . Count Badenl's seconds
were Marshal Count Uexkull-Gyllan-band,
commanding the Vienna garri
son, and Colonel Resch, a former adju
tant of the emperor. Dr. Wolff's sec
onds were two German deputies. The
conditions of the duel were three shots
at 25 paces. "At the first discharge the
premier's ball struck the ground 13
paces from his antagonist. The latter' a
ball struck Count Badeni in the right
arm. He staggered back to his chair,
and was then taken home, where the
bullet was extracted.
It is thought that, as the premier has
set the example with the emperor's ap
proval, there will be a serious epidemic
of duelling. The Arbeiter Zeitun-g
points out that Count Badeni is liable
to imprisonment for from one to five
years. ..-
