VOL. X. SALISBURY, N. G, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1897; NO. 46. nn i id SHOT DOWN BI A PENNSTLYANIA SHERIFF AND HIS DEPUTIES. I THE LIST OF DERDTiS APPALLING. Miner Were. Marching and the Officers Attempted to 8top Them Troop i Called Oat. 1 The strike situation in Pennsylvania reached a terrible crisis on tho out skirts of the town of Latimer Friday afternoon, when a band of deputy sheriffs fired into an infuriated mob of miners, ' . ! The men fell like so many sheep and the excitement was so intense that no accurate' figures of the dead and wounded could be obtained. ! Reports were that from fifteen to twenty-odd were killed and forty or i i . . ... mure wouuueu, many 01 wnom will die. One man. who reached the scene im. mediately after the shoo tin cr. counted thirteen corpsen. Four other dead lay in the mountains between .Latimer and Harleieh. , Those who were not injured carried their dead and wounded friends into the woods. j Three bodies were found -Friday night on the road near Latimer. HOW TIIK SLAUGHTER BEGAN. The strikers left Hazel ton at 3:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, announcing th ir intention to go to Latimer. As soon as this became known a band -of deputies was loaded on a trolly car and sent Avhirliug across the mountain to the scene" where the bloody conflict followed. After reaching Latimer they left the car and formed into three companies under Thomas Hall, E. A. Hessel and 8amuel B. Price. They drew up in a line at the edge of the village With a fence and a line of houses in the rear Sheriff Martin was in command ajsfl stood in front of the line until:! the strikers approached. They -were seen coming across the ridge and Martin wont out to meet them. The men drew up sullen'y and list ened in silence until he had once more read the riot act. This finished, a low! muttering arose among the foreigners and there was a slight move forward.! Perceiving this the sheriff stepped toward them and in a determined tone forbade advances Home one struck the sheriff and the next moment there was a command to! the deputies to fire. The guns of the deputies instantly belched forth a ter-! rible volley. j The strikers were taken entirely by surprise and as the men toppled and fell over each other those who remain ed unhurt stampeded. The deputies seemed to be, terror stricken at the deadly execution of their guns and seeing the living strikers fleeing and the others drop ping to the earth, they went to the aid of the unfortunates whom they had brought down. The people of Latimer rushed pell mell to the scene, but the shrieks of the wounded drowned the cries of the sympathizing and half-crazed inhabi tants. . Sheriff Martin sent a telegram to Governor Hastings, stating that mob law prevailed in the lower end of the county, and asking for assistance. Governor Hastings ordered Colonel Dougherty, Ninth regiment, N. G. P., to start for Hazelton at once. The regiment left Wilkesbarre for Ilazelton at 5 o'clock Saturday morn ing. TROOPS CALLED OUT. ; A narrisburg special says: Gover nor Hastings ordered out the Third brigade, of which General Gobin is commander, Friday night, structod General Shall to and in hold the First brigade in readiness.

Taxton, United States army, attached to the National Guard, started for Ha zelton by direction of the governor. Superintenceut Creighton, of the mid dle division of the Pennsylvania rail road, was called into the conference at the executive mansion, and arranged for the speedy transportation of the soldiers.

About Two Hundred People Taken From The Wreck Badly Injured, Many Of Whom Will Hie. The worst wreck in the. history of Colorado occurred at 12:25 Friday morning on the Denver and ' Rio Grande and Colorado Midland railways one and a half miles west of Newcastle. "After twelve hours' incessant work by wrecking crews in clearing away the debris and recovering the bodies of those who perished, it was impossi ble to more than estimate the loss of life, and not even those known to be dead have been identified. Many of the unfortunates will never be known, and it is possible that the number killed will always be in doubt. From the best information obtaina ble, fully thirty persons are believed to have perished, while 185 were taken out of the wreck suffering from serious injuries. The wreck was caused by a head end collision between a Denver and Rio Grande passenger train, running at the rate of forty miles an hour, and a special Colorado Midland stock train, running at thirty miles. So terrific was the concussion that both engines, baggage and express cars, smoker and day coaches and two stock cars were totally demolished and ihe track torn up for rods in both di rections. To add to the horror of the scene, the wreck caught fire from an explo sion of a Pmtsch gas tank on the pas senger train and burned so rapidly that many passengers pinned beneath the debris were burned to death before help could reach them. Charred fragments of . limbs and oocues oi a numoer oi persons were taken out of the ruins. The most generally accepted theory as to the cause of the wreck seems to be that Conductor Burbank, of the Midland special, anticipating the time of the passenger, undertook to steal a station and beat the passenger into Newcastle. Burbank escaped unin jured and upon orders from Coroner Clark has been placed under arrest by the sheriff. Midland Engineer Ostrander is mis sing and a thorough search about his engine fails to reveal any vestige of his remains. It is thought that when he saw the threatened danger he jumped from his engine, and . realizing the re sult of his negligence, took to the hills. As soon as the news of the wreck reached Glenwood a relief train . was sent from that place and the more se riously wounded were removed to the Denver and Rio Grande company's hospital at Sahda. Ten bodies were found in the ruins of one car and four in another. The charred remains of two women, appa rently clasped in eaah other s arms, were found. Their heads and lower1 limbs were burned off. , 1 DETAINED A MAIL TRAIN Officials of Decatur, Ala., Say That Quar antine Kales Must Be Obeyed. Owinsr to the continued refusal of the Montgomery and Columbus road to furnish passes for the quarantine officers, the eastbound fast mail was stopped Friday by the authorities of Decatur, Ala., just outside the city limits and held nntil the train could be inspected. The officers had orders to arrest the crew of the train , after they arrived in the city unless they - . . . . SB . complied with the red nag signal. BIG REWARD FOR RAYISHER. Macon Citizens Will Fay 1,000 For Miss Chapman's Assailant. A Macon, Ga., dispatch -says: Quiet but strenuous efforts' are Ibeing made to locate the assailant of Miss Sallie Chapman. The offer of $250 reward by Mayor Price will serve to make the search no more thorough, but more prolonged. The governor will not be called on to offer a reward, as the people of the city will in all probability, volunteer subscriptions to the amount of $1,000. MANY TOWNS QUARANTINE. They Are Afraid of Contact With Passen gers From Louisiana. Advices of Saturday state that the towns on every trunk line opening into New Orleans have declared quar antine against Louisiana. Burgs in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Al abama have declared that no people shall get off trains at their stations who come from the Crescent City.

Some of the cities have adopted more severe measures and have surrounded them- elves with shotgun guards. GAGE WORKING ON REPORT. Bnrean Chiefs Are Requested to Blake Their StatementsKrlter.

WARRANTS FOR DEPUTIES. Additional If ews of Slaughter of Miners stLsUmei. . Saturday night twenty-one corpses lay in ramshackle frame shanties scat tered over the town of Hazelton. Pa. Forty maimed, wounded and broken figures tossed on the narrow cots of the Hazelton hospital. Of these it was almost a certainty that live would be added to the death list. . Such was thp execution done by the one hundred and two deputy sheriffs, armed to the teeth, upon about one hundred and fifty ignorant foreigners, whose total armament consisted of two little penknives. All the men killed ranged in age from eighteen to forty-five years, all, J foreigners, Hungarians, Poles, Lithu anians and Slavs, and nearly all had 1 families. ? - xirst ana . foremost, the purpose these men had in view when their march reached its tragic end was con summated. " - . The 1,500 workers at the Latimer mines, to . whom they were bound in an effort to induce them to join the strikers' ranks, have laid down their, picks and sworn to do no more work until all the demands of the men at all the mines in the district have been conceded. Warrants for Deputies' Arrest. Next in importance was the issu ance oi warrants for the arrest of Sheriff Martin and the 102 deputies. These were issued at the instance of the United Hungarian Societies. Sheriff Martin wa's under the guar dianship of the soldiers and he could not be reached. Saturday afternoon constables made an effort to 'arrest A. E. H58s, who led one company of the deputies, but he had shelter within the military lines of . the Ninth regiment and they refused to permit the constables to pass the guards. me warrants charge murder, as sault and battery and threatening to kill. .

' He said that there was no doubt that the tree would be a success, as it had already rassed the experimental stage. The department will give all posssible encouragement in the way of supplying seed and young trees, and Mr. Wilson predicts that the country will soon be producing a sufficient supply of cam phor for its own needs. He also announced his purpose to adopt a policy for the encouragement of the growth of the English walnut, the tree of which will, he thinks, do well anywhere south of Washington.

Some Fiery Speeches hy "Social Democ racy" Leaders In Chicago. A Chicago dispatch says: Meetings of the various branches of the newly organized Social Democracy were held to discuss the recent Hazleton, Pa., tragedy, and some decidedly lnrid lan guage was indulged in by the speak- ers. resolutions were passea uy Branch No. " 2 which contained the following: "The blood of an idle -and useless aristocracy is the most convenient me dium for nourishing the tree of liberty. 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' For every miner killed and wounded a millionaire should be treat ed in, a similar manner. The million aire class is responsible for the slaugh ter of September 10th, and we "regard the torch as, the most successful wea pon to wield against them." Fitzgerald Murphy, president of Branch No. 2, made a 6peech, in which he said: "The miners should carry arms, and use them, i too. The time has come to meet force with force. I should have told them to shoot to kill. I would kill twenty millionaires today." KL0NDIKERS MAY STARVE. A Shortage of Food Supplies. In the Inte rior ite ported. The steamer Humboldt arrived at Seattle f Monday morning from St. Michaels. She brought fourteen pas sengers and about $15,000 in gold. The Humboldt also brings back advices which reiterate the stories of the untold wealth of Klondike and Yukon and verify the previous rumors of the shortage of food supply in the interior. There will be privation, sickness, starvation, scurvy and death on the Yukon this winter is what the return ing gold hunters all say. Only seven passengers of the Humboldt bad money.

J The Darr mine at West Newton and the Jumbo, on the Pan Handle road, resumed Monday. A general resump tion in the district is expected. - DENOUNCED BY G0HPERS. & Ie lares thm Slaughter a XIaselton Waa Brutal Murder. " . In an interview. Saturday, President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, after denouncing the killing of the men near' Hazelton as a brutal murder, said: "The men were marching in the public highway. They had as much l rigm to march to Latimer or any otner place on the public highway as the sheriff or governor of Pennsylvania or the president of the United States. The mine operators in the madness of their supposed power, and in their efi fort to enslave labor, have used judges and courts to give the color of law to the most flagrant violation of the con stitutional rights of the people: sher iffs aud deputies, taking their cue from their superiors, have carried out this policy and killled men exercising their rights under the constitution and the laW. "In his published explanation Sheriff Martin makes an effort to secure the favor of our native Americans by re peatedly emphasizing his statement that the miners he killed were foreign ers. It may be true that these men were not native Americans, but they were the men brought here by the greed and cunning of the mine opera tors, and so long as they submitted to being starved, no ; word as to their foreign birth was heard, but this cry of foreigners is like a cloud of dust raised to obscure the crime. - The miners will win their humane and he roic struggle; they deserve to win; their conduct has challenged the ad miration of their friends and sympa thizers." x LYNCHED WHILE DYING. Ex-ConVlct Confessed to Being- Miss Chap man's Assailant. A special from Macon, Ua., says: Dying from a w;oUnd through a lung and surrounded by a small detachment of policemen and . deputy sheriffs, Charley Gibson, a negro ex-convict, was swung to a limb by a maddened mob near the city Sunday. Before the rope was placed around Gibson's neck he confessed that he was the man who assaulted Miss Chapman a few days ago, and would not deny that he was Mrsi Couch's assailant of a month ago. ' . "" J When Gibson received : the wound through the lung, of which he was dyingjvhen lynched, he was making a desperate" resistance against officers who were seeking to arresWh-lm fof murder-a-crime which he ntftt.Just committed. The officers who Gibson had little idea at th&t that they were battling with the man who was ' responsible for one of the most shocking crimes in the criminal history of Macon. ' Not until with . his dying breath Gibson confessed did his captors know that the assault upon Miss Chapman had been cleared away. Early Bunday morning Gibson shot Jim Smith, another , negro, and was fleeing from the officers for that of fjerisa when bullets from Winchesters brought him down in a stubborn hand-to-hand fight. MORE FEYER IN NEW ORLEANS. Seven New Cases Reported hy Board of Health Officers. A special from New Orleans says: Shortly before noon Sunday the board of health officers declared six of the suspicious cases of fever on St. Claude street to be yellow fever. A couple of hours subsequently the board announc- ed another pronounced case of yellow fever aV Mirro and Esplanade streets WBU U lue iuwer "T V , a mile or more away from the infected square. The announcement of the first ix cases as yellow fever was not unex pected, although: it was hoped from the delay on the part of the experts that these cases were simply .of bilious malaria. No general alarm has re sulted, although the news rapidly spread through the city. The author ities do not believe that the situation is materially worse than it was four or five days ago, and they are still confi dent of their ability, with modern san itary appliances, to successfully quar antine the infected district. General Reggies Retired. A Washington dispatch states that Adjutant Kuggles was retired Satur day on account of age, and Colonel Samuel Breck was made a brigadier general and appointed adjutant general of the army. TO FORM BEER TRUST. American Maltlnjr Company Organized With Capital of S30,000,000. It is learned at Chicago that the men who are the principal promoters in the big malting company which was form ed in New York a few days ago are the Milwaukee matters and brewers. Instead of being a simple combina tion of matters, it appears that the brewers are also interested in the com bination and that it is to be conducted on such a gigantic scale that it will virtually control the brewing business of the country. i The American Malting company, as the new combine will be known, will have a capital of 530,000,000. TEN BODIES REMOYED From the. Rains of the Denver and Grande Railroad Wreck. Rio rinrntier P.larV .nf Vow rat!a TV.1 says that only tea bodies have so far been taken from the ruins of the Den ver and Bio Grande train wrecked near that place. . These, with Keenan, Holland, Hinea and Gordon make fourteen in all, but there is no doubt these are I ess than half of those who perished. 0KB f E 6H OFFICIAL YELLOW FEYER EXPERT, REMOTES ALL DOUBT, SAYS THftT IT IS YELLOW JACK." Autopsy on Body of Victim ef ease Frovea Genuineness f Caae ' at Orean Spring . A special from New Orleans says: Up to Thursday night there had bea no change in the fever situation. The news from the Mississippi Sound was satisfactory and - disap-. pointingsatisfactory in that Dr; Guiteras and the other government experts had declared that yellow fever a-rififA1 at fWsn "Snrinsrs and Biloxi., confirming the judgment of Dr. Oli-'; ! chant and his associates, and'disap- pointing because the fears oi ine-puo ho have been realized. Of course the decision of Dr. Guite- ras has set at rest - all doubt that yellew fever exists at Ocean Springs. But the people there nnu some conso lation in the fact that peculiar condi tions surround the death of Sherry Seymour. lie was in bad Jiealth be fore he was stricken, was dissipated and unnecessarily exposed himself, lie was first treated with primitive , methods by his family, no physician was called for four days, and when he" showed temporary recovery he over-ate himself and died. Dr. Guiteras, Dr. Murray and all who participated in the autopsy, declared, however, that-" there was no question that the man .f had died of yellow lever. One of Dr. Guiteras' doubtful pa- . tients, a child, died Thursday. Proves To Be Yellow Fever. In Dr. Guiteras's opinion the pre vailing fever is not yellow fever, bui there are isolated cases of that dread disease. Dr. Guiteras has pronounced the case of Ernest Ben ges, now sick,, as yellow fever. Late Thursday even-1;. ing the three cases nereioioTe reporter as existing at Boloxi were confirmed aa- yellow fever by Drs.

A feeling of depression exists in wnJliHipritTic,risin tO(thesituaAon andro"'coupie of tons oi uisimeciantB are ueiug cumin eu. through the town. A late dispatch brings the informa tion that a lad named Theodore San chez, in Biloxi,, shows a decided case of yellow fever, as diagnosed by Dr. Haralson.
