board of canvassers dismissed the
pro:est of the Prohibitionists as to the
recent dispensary ekction in this
ounty at a meeting held to-day. Mr.
. H. Townsend, chairman of the
board, delivered the opinion of the
board in the various matters brought
before it touching the protest. The
*inl grounds of the contest of the
election were: First, That the Pro
hibitionists were not represented in
M0 of the precincts in the list of

regalarities in three of the precincts.

Fr dispensary ... .........841 votes

Total..............1,63 votes
The dispensaries here will probably
hp opened 'Friday morning whether

fact that the protest may be taken to
the Courts will not affect the opening
the dispensaries at all.

vassers here to-day, after representa

board and the result was declared.

Logan & Grace, attorneys for the pro
testaait, was not present at the meet
ing of the board.
GLOOM AT M'KEE'S ROCKS.
Stikers Have Lost Fight.-Eleven
Dead.-The Puneral Proces
sions.
Pittsburg, Aug~ 24.-Gloom covered
the little manufacturing yillage of
McKee 's Rocks like a pall to-day.
Long funeral procesions, pitiful' in
their attempts at proper decorum,
wended their way at queer hours from
the Greek Catholic church to St.
Mary 's cemetery. a small b)uryinlg
plot just outside SchQenville. Strikers
and their families crowded ini the van
of these funeral trains, dressed in
their finery and bearing an air of deep
grief. One band of eight musicians
furnished the tunes to whieh the'
strikers tramped in dust and grime
to pay their last respects to t-he men
they look upon as martyrs to a now
lost cause.
The finding, late today, of three
rore bodies of terribly. beaten strike
sympathizers was also horrifying in
cs ghastliness, for troopers who were
detailed to the work of searching for
dead and wounded made little effort
to spare t'he feelings of the men who
zathered about .them when the bodies.
two under a pile of railroad ties, and
one under a culvert on the tracks of
the Pittsburg & Lake Erie rai-lroad,
were pulled into sight. The corpses
hardly recognizable as those of hu
man beings, were hastily piled into a
morgue wagon and turned over to the
county officials.
Not a Pistol Shot. .
With the burial of the dead strik
ers and t-he finding of the additional
bodies came a truce in hostilities.
From, dawn to nightfall not a pistol
shot was -heard. neither was an arrest
made.
The striking men and thieir sympa
thizers during t he day kept quiet and
even gave up a mass meetinug planned
for the hate afternoonf. as they be
lieved any gathering of the workrmen
could do no good at this time. Eu
gene V. Debs, the socialistic orator,
was in McKee 's Rocks to address the
strikers, but even he declared that
words were of little avail now, as
the riots of Sunday night had for once
and all placed t.he strikers in trhe po
sition of outeastis whose cause was all
but lost.
And on every hand tonight it is
conceded that the strikers have lost
their fight. The Pressed Steel Car
comay plant today was in operation
with over 1,000 men at work. These
men, while not all skilled or finished.
workmen, turned out three steel cars
which were placed on view just out
side t.he ear plant gates.
Martial Law Reigns.
Martial law reigned supreme in the
strike zone today. There was little
chance for disorder to have developed
effective headway. Sixty-six men
were loaded into a special ear from
the box car jails in the car company~
plant yard and brought to Pittsburg
in the afternoon, where they were ar
raigned before a magistrate on charges
of d i.erderly condaect anidearryingreon
Aealed weapons. Tfhe informations

men were later transferred to the
county jail to await court hearings.
At sundown tonight began the
search for weapons by the State po'.ice
using search warrants issued by a
magistrate under a law passed by the
last legislature making it illegal for
foreigners to have in their homes or
in their possession fire arms of any
description.
The total death list resulting from
Sunday night's disorders now totals
11, while two are in hospitals expect
ed to die within then ext 24 hours. The
less seriously injured are all reported
to be improving slowly.
