Cowardly Sheriff Kills Defenseless Miners In Cold Wood. There was at Haseltou, Pa., last Wednesday, a massacre of coal miners which, on account of its extent and cold-blooded brutality, has sent a thrill of horror throughout the entire country. The fact that the coal mining region of Pennsylvania has been demoralized for weeks ou account of a great strike among the miners, is already wellknown to our readers. Sometime ago several injunctions were issued against the miners. One of these injunctions prohibited the marching of the miners in bodies along the public roads. On last Friday, Sheriff Martin, who had jurisdiction, got notice of the inteution of some 200 strikers to march from Haselton to Latimer's, iu Luzerne county. The alleged object of the marchers was to compel the miners at Latimer's to quit work and join the strike. Immediately on getting the information, Sheriff' Martin collec ted his deputies to the number of 102 and weut on to Latimer's ahead of the marching miners. Dividing his deputies into three companies, he took up a position on the outskirts of towu ami waited for the miners to come up. When the miners came up, they presented the appearance of a straggling mob. The sherilf advanced for a parley and read the injunction against inarching along the highway. The crowd listened, and then after the reading was concluded, marched forward. Just about the instant the miners started forward, the deputies tired u volley. The miners were taken completely by surprise and went down like tenpins. Many were killed instantly. The balance were terrorstricken and turned and tied. The deputies continued to tire as long as there was a miner in sight, and killed many as they ran. In all, about 20 were killed and some 30 or 40 were wounded. Alter the horrible tragedy was over, the sheriff told two stories about it. One was to the effect that after he read the riot act to the miners, they rushed on him, tried to killed him, and he ordered his deputies to fire. The other story, which was told subsequently was to the effect that the miners at tacked him and beat him up considerably ; but he did not give any orders to fire. How the firing happened to com raeuce, he did not know. This latei story was not borne out by circum stantial evidence, as there was not a single bruise on the sberifFs body. The mob that was fired into was composed of unarmed Hungarians Poles aud other foreigners. Although the entire country foi miles was filled with striking miners, aud the massacre created intense indignation and excitement, no overt act was committed. The miuers held a big meeting on Saturday and swore out warruuts for the arrest of the sheriff and his deputies. Then, at another big meeting, resolutions were adopted expressing sympathy for our murdered brothers and continuing in this fashion : "For years we have been oppressed by C. Pardee A Co., by the payment of starvation wages. They have deprived us ol our liberty by compelling us to deal in their company store. They have forced us to purchase powder at five times its actual value, and have otherwise tyran nizea us in ways wo numerous iu mention, so that we are no longer free men but slaves. We assembled together peacefully and to seek redress for our grievances. Not one man among us was armed. Our mission was not to take human life, nor to destroy property, but to go and meet our fellow-employes of the same company at Latimer, who were in sympathy with us. We were opposed on the public highway and without provocation, were shot down like dogs. "Wo place ourselves before the bar ol the public and appeal to the good citizens of this state and country and ask them if there was justification or warrant in such assassination. "Resolved, That we extend our sympathy to the friends and relatives of those who have fallen and pray to (iod that those now dead will live in our memories as martyrs to the cause of downtrodden labor." Upon the order of the governor o< the state, some 2,500 state troops arrived in Hazelton on Saturday. There had been no sigus of disturbance on the part of the miners, however, and there was nothing for the troops to do but go quietly into camp. The governor issued a proclamation advising the people to retire quietly to their homes and not to take part iu unlawful assemblages on the highways or elsewhere. During Sunday many of the miners were buried. The funeral services, of course, were conducted by Catholic priests, and were attended by large numbers of miners. There were few carriages, but there were in line over 1,000 men following the coffins of tlieir comrades. At the head of the procession there was a brass hand which nlrtveil the dead march with muffled drums. Dr. Thodororitch, secretary of the Austrian consulate at Philadelphia, arrived in Hazeltou on Sunday, and procured affidavits from a number of miners who were in Friday afternoou's affair which threw light upon the shooting. The affidavits declare in substance, that on the morning of that ?lay a messenger arrived at Harwood and asked the foreigners to come to Latimer, as the employes of colliery No. 1 at that place were about to strike. Later, a second message to the same effect arrived, and then the men started over to Latimer. At Hasele colliery, so the affidavits continue, Sheriff Martiu met them and warned them not to go through Haselton, but to go around the other way. They did so, but arriving at the fatal bend in the road near Latimer, they again found themselves confronted by the sheriff, this time backed by the army of deputies. As soon as they 1 reacueu me spin, u- is urumicu, uuci m Martin stepped out and roughly grabbed the foremost man by his coat collar. With his other hand he thrust a revolver into his face and used abusive language. The miner knocked the sheriff's revolver arm from in front of him and tried to wrench himself from the official's grasp. Almost instantly, the affidavit says, the order to fire was given. The deputies were lined up in a hollow square, the fourth side of which was formed by the body of strikers. This would possibly accouut for the fact that so many were shot in the back and side. SITUATION MONDAY. The situation oil Monday was alarming in the extreme. In the vicinity of Haseiton, all was quiet enough. The military had charge of the town, and the miners, though loudly muttering, were not showing any disposition toward an outbreak. But t his was hardly an index. Haseiton is surrounded, within a radius of a dozen miles or so, by numerous other mines, at which there are thousands of miners. These miners have been hearing all kinds of rumors with regard to the recent massacre and the subsequent movements of the troops, etc., and have developed a frame of mind that is decidedly ugly. There have been calls for troops from different points; but on account of the fact that the miners number many thousands, while the number of troops is comparatively small, the officer in command?General Gobin?is inclined to keep his little army concentrated in TT . i4._ mL. i 1 11.^ naseiton. ine iroup.s, ami mc prti|#i<r geuerally, had great fears on Monday night that there would he an outbreak on Tuesday or today. MIUHT OVERHEAT THEMSELVES. Editor of Tjik Knquirkr : Mr. O'Leary, at the public meeting recently held, sjiid that lie was "not willing to trust anybody with the privilege and power of making a 10 mill tax levy at this time?not even himself." And it would seem that he is right. With the disposition to "borrow money" that now pervades the town council, it is an easy matter to say what they would do were they vested with the power of the general incorporation act. There is such a tiling, I believe, as indiscreet "patriotism," and besides it is a hard matter, usually, to get competent men to take positions 011 the council for more than one year; and it is not right to require the present council to do three years' work in one! They might overheat themselves. Taxfaykr. NOT YET FIFTEEN. Age of Clover's Champion Wheelman? First Kitee Whs u Mile. Editor Yorkvillc Enquirer: I, us one of Clover's wheelmen, feel like acknowledging your lull and fair account of our bicycle meet. There are some errors, however, that deserve correction, viz: The first race, which was won by Neill, was a mile race, instead of a half-mile, as you had it. Also, under the head of personals, you referred to Oscar Neill as being - "not yet 17 years of age." There have . been so many incorrect siaiemeum ouu , so much discussion in regard to this matter, that I deem it worth while to . give the exact facts. On the day of the races lie was aged 14 years 7 months ' and 13 days. Thanking you again for your good account of the races, and also for the 1 notices published in anticipation of the same, I am, Yours respectfully, Herbert L. Wright. Clover, September 13,1897.

You have never been offered such nice goods at such low prices before, and as they were bought in the summer, before the tariff became effective, it's not likely that in the next four years you will be able to nearly approach the prices which are now ruling at Strauss's great One-Price-Cash-Store. There is not a shoddy garment among the whole $10,000 worth of clothing. As I said before, I am going to sell them. It took money to buy them and I had it. I have marked them down to a small per cent, above cost, and they've got to go. Not for a day or week only ; but from right now until the season is over, and the last garment is gone. Whether you be a laborer, farmer, mechanic, lawyer or merchant buying to sell again, they go to all alike and my prices on Clothing shall rule until every masculine gender in York county is arrayed fit for ? U/i11 /I 4 a uaii, uitMtu ln weii-made comfortable warm clothing. The Clothing js up-to-date and fits the times. Remember that the goods are ?f the best quality and the prices are under all competitors. It is the same way with Shoes, and Strauss has them packed in shelves, under the counters, and in every available place and crack in his store and he's going to sell them. Strauss is now in New York looking after the Dress Goods and Notions and the bargains which are always lying around at this season. YORK MUSIC STORE. THE WILCOX & WHITE ORGAN IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET. A FEW months ago the company was embarrassed on account of failnre to make collections ; but now "everything is lovely;" and with plenty of capital, they are in better condition than ever before to fill any orders for their Superior Organs, and I can get them for you. Some agents will say the Wilcox & White is "busted," in order to get yon to buy an inferior organ, Don't listen to them ; but see me or write for full particulars, catalogues, etc., and let me sell you a First-Class Guaranteed Organ, At prices that no other agent can beat. Call on me for the proof of all I say, and when the rats and mice?not to mention flying squirrels?eat up your organ, come and let me sell yon one that is Warranted Mouse Proof. GEO. T.

RIDDLE^ FARM WAGONS. I HAVE just received a CAR LOAD of the celebrated "MILBURN FARM WAGONS," which are recognized as the leading farm vehicle on the market today. I have them in all sizes from 1 to 6horse, and with the "hollow axle," "thimble skein" or iron axle as the customer may prefer. The beds are all extra deep, ana the wheels are substantially tired with extra thick and extra wide tires, and the capacity of every wagon is limited only by the strength of the team you have to pull it. When you want a wagon you will do yourself a great favor by seeing ours before buying. Cheaper Than Ever Before. My supply of BAGGING AND TIES are now in stock and both are of the very best quality, and I am offering tbein at prices that will relegate the "second hand" quality to the rear. The fact is that the price at which I am offering the new goods should induce the farmers to dress every bale just like a dude. Come and see us and let us give you prices. WE HAVE $2 KIND TOO. Oh ! yes. we've got the $2 kind too?the everyday variety that we've been selling all the time; but we've got something better now, if you've a mind to pay for it, and the difference in quality is much greater than the difference in price. Yes, we've got 100,000 LONG LEAF HEART PINE SHINGLES, which we are offering at the low price of $2.40 per thousand. Thoy are the nest shingles ever put ou this market. Plastering Hair, Lime, LATHES AND CEMENT can always be found at our store, and contractors or purchasers of large lots can expect close prices. J. H. RIDDLE. CAROLINA BUGGY C0~ II\S DUUU I ON THE MARKET IS EQUAL to the CAROLINA BUGGY at the price it ia sold. It ia not only the best buggy built in the southern states; but is also the best finished, in painting and trimming, while its durability is equal to almost any requirement. The painting never allows it to present a shoddy, makeshift appearance at any stage of its existence. While it is made to sell, it is also made to satisfy the customer and represent a value equal to the price for which it is sold. It is LIGHT AND STRONG and always built of the very best material to be bad, and in all stages . of its construction it is passed through a thorough, severe and critical inspection by one whose first thought is to have it built as nearpefection as human skill can accomplish. We make thein to order or keep them in stock, and it will be to your interest to consult us when in need of a vehicle. THE CINCINNATI BUCCY Can always be purchased from us and at almost any price. We can furnish them in any style desired. When you purchase a Cincinnati Buggy you had better first get our price, for the reason that if you don't you might throw money away. We sell them at their true value only. CAROLINA BUGGY CO. W. B MOORE & CO. SEASON'S SUPPLY EXHAUSTED.
