REVOLVER FLASHES
IRQ STRIKER FALLS
A Deputy Fires the Shot in a
Quarrel-
THE MAN PLACED IN JAIL
Strikers Were Begging Deputies to
Stay Away From Colliery.
THE TRAGEDY QUICKLY FOLLOWED
S'ories of What Immediately Led up to It Con
flicting, Nesquehoning is Quiet Now
But the Sheriff May Ask
For Troops,
(By the Associated Press.)
Nesquehoning, Pa., Aug. 18.—In a clash
between striking mine workers and depu
ties here tonight, Patrick Sharp, a striker
of Lansford, was shot and killed almost
instantly by a deputy. The shooting
caused considerable excitement for a
time, but order was soon restored without
any other persons being injured and the
town is quiet. A deputy named Harry
McElmoyle was arrested charged with
ttv* killing of Sharp, and was taker, to
the county jail at Mauch Chunk.
The shooting occurred shortly after 6
o’clock. Five deputies were on their way
to Shaft No. 1, of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company, just outside of the
town. In the centre of the town they
were met by a number of strikers, who
began persuading them not to go to the
colliery. The officers did not stop, but
kept on their way and tried to prevent
any trouble.
The strikers, it is said, then began to
abuse the men and followed them nearly
up to the colliery. There are conflicting
stories as to what actually brought on
the clash, but just before the deputies
entered the place a shot was heard and
Sharp dropped to the ground. The bullet
entered his body close to his heart, and
ho died almost instantly. Witnesses say
that the shooting was done by Mc-
Elrnoyle, and that he stood only six or
seven feet from Sharp when he fired his
revolver. Only one shot was fired.
The deputies immediately withdrew to
the colliery and a large crowd gathered
about the place. When it was learned
that Sharp was dead there was the
greatest indignation among the strikers
and other town people, and for a time it
looked as though serious trouble would
follow. Cooler heads among the mine
workers, however, prevailed upon the
crowd to disperse, using the argument
that if there is any bloodshed troops
would surely be sent here from Shenan
doah. The crowd dispersed and the town
scon calmed down to its normal state.
Witnesses to the shooting went to the
office of W. R. Watkins, the justice of the
peace, and made information against
Harry McElmoyle, charging him with the
shooting of Sharp. The justice placed
the warrant in the hands of Constable
Decert, who found McElmoyle* at Snaft
No. 1, and accompanied by a guard of
other officers, took his prisoner to the
county jail at Mauch Chunk.
Sheriff J. H. Gombert, of this (Carbon)
county is at Mauch Chunk. It is report
ed here that he may ask that a detach
ment of the troops now stationed at
Shenandoah, be sent into the Panther
Creek valley.
All But Three Deputies Discharged,
(By the Asociated Press.)
Wilkesbarre, Pa„ August 18.—The
hearing in the habeas corpus proceed
ings in the case of the guards and work
men employed at the Warnke Washery
at Duryea, who were arrestel last Thurs
day by the authorities of the town,
charged with inciting a riot and felon
ious woundingn, came up before Judge
Halsey in court today. A a large number
of witnesses were examined and the tes
timony was conflicting. The attorneys
for the defense said it was a travesty on
justice to arrest the officers and jail
them for doing their duty. After hear
ing the evidence Judge Halsey dis
charged all the defendants except three
—Kinney, Reynolds and Madden They
were held in S2OO bail each for trial at
court.
Roderick Warnke, the owner of the
washery w here the riot occurred, says
the acquittal of deputies will justify him
in starting up the washery again and he
has served notice on Sheriff Jacobs that
if he does not provide ample protection
lor bis workmen and property on Wed
nesday he will make an appeal to the
Governor for troops.
The beginning of the fifteenth week
of the strike shows no apparent change
in the cituation. It was thought that
the Lehigh Valley Company would start
their Maltby colliery today, and early
this morning a number of strikers gath
ered in the vicinity of the mine, but no
effort was made to resume work.

SCHWAB TO RETIRE
President of the Steel Trust
Will Resign.
He ts in Bad Health and There Are Some Very
Singular Features in His
Malady,
(By the Associated Press.)
Pittsburg, Aug. 18.—A Loretta, Pa.,
special to the Pittsburg Dispatch says:
President Charles M. Schwab, of the
United States Steel Corporation, has ac
cepted the advice of physicians and de
cided to retire indefinitely from an ac
tive business life. He will leave Ameri
ca to seek some quiet nook in a foreign
clime where not an echo of the stren
uous life he has led ran reach him. This
information is authentic.
Dr. Golden never leaves the Schwab
home and the exact nature of his pa
tient's illness cannot be learned through
him.
Mr. Schwab is not confined to his bed
but spends much of his time on the wide
veranda which affords fresh air and a
sweeping view of the mountain slope. He
is always with his wife or his parents.
The strange feature of Mr. Schwab’s
illness is that he has always within view
of those who call at his house, yet he
will not allow any person to approach
him. Heretofore the visitor to the Schwab
home was greeted with a hearty welcome
and a vigorous handshake. Now the
visitor is met at the entrance and told
that Mr. Schwab can not be seen. Inti
mates of the family receive the same
message and none has been able to con
verse with President Schwab since he
came back to his home.
Gayley to Succeed Him.
(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Aug. IS.—The retirement of
Charles M. Schwab from the presidency
of the United States Steel Corporation
is now' commonly accepted as determined
upon, notwithstanding recent official de
nials and present reluctance in official
quarters to confirm the report. Presi
dent Schwab’s impaired health is the rea
son for this action. In well informed
quarters it is believed that his retire
ment will be followed by extensive
changes in the membership of the organi
zation. The succession to the presidency
is a matter of surmise only and if it
has been decided no information can be
had on the subject. But there are many
positions of importance in the United
States Steel Corporation now held by per
sons who are there on account of per
sonal ties with Mr. Schwab and who re
mained with the corporation from a de
votion to his interests, growing from
former association in the Carnegie Com
pany.
It has been reported that thp presi
dency would pass to James Gayley, the
first vice-president of the corporation.
Other rumors have pointed to H. C.
Frick.
A MEDIAEVAL FIGHT
The Taking of the Sister*'
School at Ploudaniel tx
citing, Picturesque,
(By the Associated Press.)
Brest, France, Aug. 18. —The closing of
the Sisters schools at Ploudaniel, Folgoet
and at St. Meen, the last villages in
Brittany, where unauthorized schools
were still open, met with determined re
sistance.
The inhabitants were on guard through
out the night, and the tocsin was sound
ed when the approach of the gendarmes
and troops was signalled at 0 o’clock in
the morning. At Ploudaniel, in spite of
a heavy fall of rain, a crowd numbering
several thousand people replied with
hoots to the summons of the police com
missaries, while the ringing of church
and school bells drowned the voices of
the officials.
When an attempt was made to force
the srtongly barricaded door it failed,
the defenders in the meanw’hile crying:
“Judas!" and singing Breton hymns,
mingled with cheers for liberty and
shouts of “Dow'n with Combes!"
The commissaries tried to attack the
school by the garden wall, which they
ordered the soldiers to breach. This
was done in the midst of showers of
filth and muddy w'ater from the defend
ers who manned the breach, armed with
clubs, and prevented the commissarie
from penetrating into the garden.
The soldiers attempted to scale the
wall with the aid of a pile of faggots,
hut the defenders deluged the faggots
with petroleum and set them on fire,
whereupon the commissaries and troops
drew off amidst cheers for liberty and for
the Sisters. Tho school was finally
closed after a long resistance.
At St. Meen the Sisters were expelled
and the school was closed after a two
hours struggle, during which a police
commissary was w'ounded. The school at
Polgoet was also closed.
Paris. Aug. 18.—The Temps says Com
mandant Leroy Laduric, of the 19th In
fantry, who refused to obey an order to
aid in closing unauthorized schools, has
been placed under arrest.

the boys are in fine trim. j

ROW FORJHE SIXTH
Conceded That Bellamy Will
Lead on First Ballot.
Rumor That the Republicans Will Pit John H.
T
Gore, of Wilmington Against Fayette
ville Nominee.
(Special to New's and Observer.)
Fayetteville, N. C., Aug. 18.—Indications
are that the Sixth Congressional Con
vention, which convenes here Wednesday,
will be rich, rare and racey. Already the
advance guards are pouring in and these
are to be seen in little groups caucusing.
It is generally conceded that Bellamy
will be the strongest man on the first
ballot, conservative estimates giving him
105 votes. Bellamy's friends hold that
his strength on the first ballot will not
be less than 125 votes, and that ho will
be nominated on the second or third
ballot. A noted politician fixes the
strength of the candidates on the first
ballot as follows: Bellamy 105, Hale
72, Frown 82, Patterson 90, and he holds
that a dark horse will prance in the race
before the work of the convention is
over.
Major W. H. Bernard is leading the
fight for Bellamy. The Major is in good
trim, and has waged many a conflict but
he says none more hopeful than this.
Congressman Bellamy reached the city
tonight.
C. J. RIVENBARK.
Wilmington, N. C., Aug. 18. —The ad
vance guard of the New Hanover dele
gation to the Fayetteville Congressional
Convention left this morning for the
scene of the impending contest. In the
party this morning were Maj. W. H. Ber
nard, chairman of the delegation; Col.
Geo. 1.. Morton, nominated for the Leg
islature, who is slated for member from
New Hanover, of the District Executive
Committee; Mr. D. McEachern, and one
or two of the Brunswick contingents. Mr.
Bellamy left this afternoon via Flor
ence and is expected to reach the scene
of action tonight. Mr. Bellamy will be
nominated by Hon. Dan Hugh McLean,
of Harnett, and seconding speeches will
be made by several.
There is no end to interesting political
rumors in this neck-o-the-woods now
adays. The latest is that the Republi
cans will put out a candidate for Con
gress against the nominee of this week's
Fayetteville convention and that the man
will he John H. Gore, Jr., Esq., of Wil
mington. a son of the well known whole
sale grocer, Mr. D. L. Gore, and law part
ner of ex-Governor D. L. Russell. The
counties comprising the new Sixth dis
trict gave Aycock a majority of 4,900 in
November, 1899, and the constitutional
amendment at something over eight thou
sand on the year following. That a Re
publican can go in the field with hope of
success against such odds is explained in
the large independent vote the Republi
cans expect to capture. It is said the
recently reported independent movement
was launched in this section with the
Congressional campaign in view. One
hears little from the Republicans here
as to what they pronose to do or not to
do.
A door, sash and blind factory is being
added to the Pittsburg Lumber Company’s

150 men are now' employed at the plant.
As the result of a pistol wound in the
abdomen, received last week at a negro

Tlis intestines w'ere perforated in eleven
places. This morning a coroner’s jury
investigated the shooting, but kept the
result of the investigation from the pub

shooting was accidental and that the
jury so found. Walker McKay, colored,
who did the shooting and was in hiding
in the city, heard the erroneous report
and cave himself up to the authorities.
When he was safely in jail, the news
came to him that the verdict of the jury
was not that the shooting was accidental
hut that it was wilful and malicious. The
negro almost collapsed.

MOST BMVHIPPED
Chaffee Finds the Moros Need
Discipline-
An Active Campaign is Recommended in Order
That This People May be
Tamed.
(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, August 18.—A cable dis
patch has been received from General
Chaffee stating that in his judgment
an active campaign against the Moros in
Mindanao was necessary in order to curb
the opposition that has been growing
against United States authority. The
dispatch was considered of sufficient
importance to be repeated to President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
General Chaffee has been directed to
use his own discretion in the matter and
will no doubt engage in an aggressive
movement against the insurgent Moros.
Some time before Secretary Root left
Washington, the Moros situation was
under consideration and from a dispatch
then at hand the secretary was of the
opinion that the Moros must be dealt
with severely before they would respect
the authority of the United States.
General Chaffee is now in Mindanao,
having left Manila some days ago. If
the campaign should continue for some
time he no doubt will remain in the
Philippines instead of leaving on Sep
tember 30th, as he had planned. It is
understood at the War Department that
General Chaffee has sufficient troops to
make an active campaign.
Moros Renew Their Attacks,
(By the Associated Press.)
Manila. Aug. 18.—The Moros in Min
danao are renewing their attacks upon
the outposts and pack trains of the
American column at Lake Lanao, which
is under the command of Captain J. J.
Pershing, of the Fifteen Cavalry. The
Americans have successfully repulsed the
Moro attacks and have suffered no losses.
The commanders of the American forces
on Mindanao report aggressive action
against the Moros to be necessary and
ask permission to move against Bacolod
and other strongholds the hostile Mo
hammedans.
There are about two thousand Ameri
can soldiers on Mindanao available for
ihe desired aggressive movement. It is
believed this number is sufficient to de
feat the Moros, although it would possi
bly be necessary to strengthen their
base before undertaking the movement.

execution by the Turkish Government of
agreements reached long ago on several
questions affecting the interests of
American citizens, has led to somewhat
strained relations between the United
States legation and the Porte. The
United States Minister, John G. D.
Leishman, has informed the latter that
he will not discuss other matters until
the terms of the settlements already

(Special to News and Observer.)
Southern Pines, N. C., Aug. 18.—Those
I who attended the precinct primary con

were elected delegates to the Moore
County Republican Convention, which
meets in Carthage next Thursday. The
delegates are: A. M. Clarks, post
master; G. R. Mente, Fastor and F.
Dixon, and were instructed to vote for
Sam Jones for clerk and J. M. Tyson for
sheriff.
In spit.? of the' fact that the Southern
Pines precinpt were carried against the
amendment, the Federal office-holder,
colored, at Manly, was not given a chance
to participate in the deliberations of Ihe
primary, although he was i ntown wond
ering where he was “at," and also whero
the primary was being held.
With possibly one exception, there is
no chance for the Republicans to win in
Moore county, though the Federal office
holders are more than active, and if
such political bombarding was endulged
by Democrats, it would be styled “perni
cious activity" and offensive politics in
