"WTTVKKflBARBE, Pa Aug. 14. A riot
occurred at the Warn ok wasfcery, at Dur
yea, this afternoon. Trouble has been
brewing since early morning. Before 7
o'clock "women and boys crowded about
the place and started to Interfere with
those who wanted to go to work. Sheriff
Jacobs had a number of deputies on the
ground, and they held the crowd back.
The works were started, but Temalned In
operation only a short time. The crowd
on the outside throw stones over the
stockade at the deputies who were on
guard Inside. Several times the deputies
were tempted to Are. Rather than have
any trouble, work was suspended for the
time being.
The Deputy Sheriffs returned to Wllkes
barre early this evening, reporting all
quiet at the washery when they left.
They had hardly reached "Wilkesbarre,
however, -when the deputies on guard were
attacked. Several men In the mob also
attempted to climb over the barricade.
The deputies warned them to go back, and
when they did not, a volley was fired,
but most of the bullets went high into the
air. Harry Collins was shot through the
right leg. Andrew Marlack, a Lithuanian,
received a flesh wound, and -another for
eigner had a narrow escape, a bullet pass
ing through his coat. A colored man em
ployed at the washery, thinking his life
was in danger, escaped from the barri
cade and ran down the street. He was
pursued by an angry crowd, who cried:
"Hang him! hang him!" The man was
finally run him down, but before any harm
could befall him a number of Constables
rescued him.
Deputy Sheriffs from Luzerne and Lack
awanna Counties went to the scene of the
rioting, but when they arrived all was
quiet, the mob having dispersed. An eye
witness says the attack, the shooting and
the retreat did not last more than Ave
minutes. "Warrants were sworn out be
fore the Burgess charging the deputies
with rioting and felonious wounding. The
Constables went to the washery and
placed 25 men under arrest. They were
arraigned before Burgess Burlington to
night and held In $3000 ball each. They
could not furnish ball, and were brought
to the County Jail here.
The United Mlneworkers say the shoot
Jng was uncalled for. and that the depu
ties alone are to blame. Vice-President
Rescavage, of the Miners' Union, District
Kb. 1, says the deputies were In an ugly
mood all day. Sheriff Jacobs, of Luzerne
County, was in Hazleton. The office here
was in charge of Chief Deputy Rhoda. He
denied a report, which gained currency
tonight, that Sheriff Jacobs had applied
to Governor Stone for troops. He says all
Is quiet at Duryea now, and he .does not
expect any further trouble. If it is de
cided to resume operations at the washers
again, the Sheriff will have a guard strong
enough to preserve order and give protec
tion to those who want to go to work.
Sheriff Jacobs arrived from Hazleton to
night, and at once went to Duryea, where
he will spendthe night. The operators of
the washery say they will not start the
works tomorrow, as unknown persons
wrecked some of the machinery during the
excitement following the fight this after
soon. President Mitchell said today that he
did not know what significance attached
to the gathering of so many operators and
mine superintendents at Pottsville yester
day. The impression in coal trade circles
here is that the meeting was held to
hear the views of Vice-President Loomls,
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & "West
ern Company, who made a tour of the
strike "region, and, it Is said, recommended
to the presidents of the coal-carrying
-roads In New York the starting of some
of the collieries in different parts of the
region. The presidents of the coal compa
nies, so it is alleged, thought it would be
better to get the views of the resident
superintendents of the mines before this
was attempted, and for that 'purpose a
meeting of the superintendents of the
largest coal companies was called at
Pottsville.

SHENANDOAH, Pa., Aug. 14. The
troops out to suppress lawlessness In
Shenandoah have now been in the field
two weeks, and during that time they
have not been called upon to' do much
more than guard duty. Board floors are
being placed In all the tents in camp,
which Is an Indication that the troops will
remain in the field until the end of the
strike.
A committee of Lithuanians called on
General Gobln today and said there were

End.
NEW YORK Aug. 14. With a view to
settling the strike of the .goldbeaters, ne
gotiations have been started with the
employers by the American Federation
of Labor. The principal demands of the
goldbeaters ar an advance in wages
from ?12 to $21 1 week and the discharge
of about 100 girls and women. A confer
ence between committees of gold-leaf
manufacturers and the striking goldbeat
ers has been held, but no agreement
reached. An erort may be made to
bring about another conference.
The employers, who had offered a com
promise of $15 aweek, raised the offer
to $16 a week. (The goldbeaters were
wllllnz to accept the offer if the women
and girls were discharged.

cause some of therwomen have been em
ployed more thari 20 years. The em
ployers will hold la conference today.

ences between representatives of the

THE COAL FAMINE. .
Stocks Jfenrly Exhausted In Eastern
Cities.
NEW YORK, Aug. li. Inquiries have
been made by the Tribune as to the stock
of anthracite coal on hand at several
cities In the East, with the following re
sult: New Xork city dealers say tho supply
here has been practically exhausted for
weeks. The railroad companies have been
able to deliver only a few thousand tons
a day recently, and much of it is known
as washed coal.
Retail price of coal In Jersey City 13
$9 a ton delivered, pr $S at the yards,
and orders are taken only conditionally.
The dealers have agents oat purchasing
wherever they, can find coaL None Is
coming In by the cars. Some have a
meager reserve supply, but this Is kept
for customers with whom they have con
tracts. Orders for thousands of tons have
been pigeonholed because they cannot be
filled.
Buffalo reports that the Erie Rallroad'a
Hillside la the only anthracite that can
be bought there at present. It Bells for
$5 65 a ton and is not the best quality of
hard coaL The Philadelphia & Reading,
the Lehigh, the Delaware & Hudson and
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroads have all stopped the sale of
anthracite at their trestles and have closed
their local agencies thereby putting an
absolute stop to their coal business. Tho
railroads are maintaining the utmost
secrecy regarding their supplies, and even
the Erie officials refuse to say how much
they have on hand. All tho leading coal
dealers say the supply Is exceedingly lim
ited. At Albany, N. Y., the retail dealers have
In stock not to exceed 2000 tons of an
thracite, which they are selling at $6 to
$6 25 a ton. The Delaware & Hudson
Company has about 1000 tons in reserve
at Delanspn. This, with 300 tons held
by a wholesale dealer, is all that can be
counted on for Albany. It is known, says
the Albany correspondent, that the Dela
ware & Hudson has considerable coal,
estimated as high as 50,000 tons, on sidings
along Its Susquehanna division.
The Wilkesbarre. Pa., correspondent
says there Is no general supply of anthra
cite on hand at any point in the coal
region. That which is being sold is some
that tho companies- tire producing in their
washerles and some that is obtained by
individual concerns from small coal pick
ings. The regular dealers have none and
can get none.
Boston reports that no distress has yet
been felt, although the margin of the coal
supply is not a pleasant object of contem
plation. One authoilty said three days ago
that there are perhaps 26,000 tons of coal
within the city, limits. The dealers are
deallntr out their supplies a ton here or
two tops there.
From Baltimore the report Is that coal
dealers estimate the stock of anthracite
there at 100,000 tons. This Includes all in
the local yards. The supply is so low
that at a meeting of the coal dealers
association It was decided not to make
on advance, the price remaining at $7 50
for regular size and $6 25 for pea coal.
A famine is Imminent.
Situation In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14. Chicago's stock of
anthracite coal Is running low on ac
count of the great coal miners' strike.
Leading dealers express the opinion that
before Winter householders will be com
pelled to use bituminous coal for all
domestic purposes. They say that even
If the strike should be settled by Sep
tember 1, the new coal would not be re
ceived in large quantities before Christ
mas, so that at least a temporary use
of soft coal Is extremely probable.
The present cost of anthracite to the
retailer In carload lots is $6 15 a ton, to
which Is added $1 to the consumer. A
substantial advance In these prices is
predicted for September. About 150,000
ton of anthracite coal are said to be
stored In Chicago now, but asv90 per cent
of the demand for It Is for domestic pur
poses, the Impending scarcity will not be
seriously felt until the advent of cold
weather.

American Machinery on Canal.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 14. D. M. Parry,
president of the National . Association of
Manufacturers, has received an opinion
from Sullivan Cromwell, New York City,
general counsel In America of the new
Panama Canal Company, which means
many millions of dollars to the manu
facturers of the United States. The opin
ion is to the effect that every dollar's
worth of machinery and supplies neces
sary .for' the construction of the canal
may be -purchased In the United States
without restraint from the operation of
the French laws under which the com
pany was originally chartered. Its at

whose rights the United States proposes
to purchase, Is In no wise bound by pro
visions goyernlng the old company.

MOVE OF THE ROYALISTS
SO COMBES CHARACTERIZES THE
RELIGIOUS WAR IX PHASCE.
Frequent Clashes Between Gen
darmes' and People of Finlsterre
During Closing: of Schools.
PARIS. Aug. 14. The Cabinet met at
the Elyaee Palace today. The Premier,
M. Combes, communicated reports on the
situation In Flnlsterre. one of them being:
from tho superior of the Congregation of
the Holy Ghost, to which the resisting
slstera belong. In this report the su
perior said the sisters bad been ordered
twice to leave the schools, but the orders
had not been obeyed, owing to opposition
by the peasantry and by the owners of
the property In which the schools are
situated. Continuing, M. Combes de
clared that official reports showed the
agitation over the closing of schools In
Flnlsterre was purely a royalist move
ment. There had been grave occurrences,
said the Premier, which came within the
penal laws, and which would result in
prosecutions, Instructions for which had
been sent to the Procureur-General.
Soldiers and gendarmes left Brest last
evening to protect the commissaries In
closing religious schools at Plougonvelln
and Plumoguer, Flnlsterre. and the
schools were closed this morning, despite
protests by Inhabitants of the towns. It
was rumored at first that the troops
were going to St. Meen and Folgoet and
the peasantry flocked to those places, re
maining on guard until 6 o'clock this
morning, when It was learned that the
soldiers had gono to Plougonvelln and
Ploumoguer. At Ploudanlel the barricade
of carts, which barred tho way to the
slstcre school, has been replaced by a
network of barbed wire, and pointed
stakes have been driven into the ground
to injure the horses of the gendarmes.
In addition a moat has been dug In front
of the school door and filled with filth.
The gendarmes met with strong resist
ance at Plougonvelln from the assembled
crowd, who unhorsed one of their num
ber. It took the gendarmes an hour and
a half to force the barricades erected in
front of the school in that village. Num
erous detachments of gendarmes are ar
riving at Brest to assist the commissar
ies In their work of closing the unauthor
ized schools.

HISTORIC HICKORY TREE,
Under Its Branches General Brad
do clc Received His Death Wound.
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
The projected memorial tablet in Ken
nywood Park to commemorate General
Braddock's crossing of the Monogahela
River at that point has awakened public
Interest In those chapters of local history
relating to the Ill-starred expedition
against Fort Duquesne, and every me
mento of Braddock's defeat is being un
earthed. The exact locality of the battle
in the wilderness Is being sought, and
probably will be marked by a suitable
monument.
The ground occupied by the British and
colonists in the fight on July 9, 1775, has
long been a matter of dispute, but the
best authorities agree that the Pennsyl
vania Railroad station In Bradd'ock Is near
the spot where the most severe fighting
occurred. Colonel Gage, who commanded
the British vanguard, advanced higher up
the hill, but his men soon wero driven
back, and Braddock's position was con
fined to a-cramped line flanking the nar
row roadway which Gage's men had cut
through the forest. Near this road Brad
dock was mortally wounded while striving
to check the panic amopg his veterans.
The retreat had been sounded and the
narrow thoroughfare was crowded with
the frightened troops. The spot where
Braddock fell, however, never can be
pointed out with accuracy, as every ves
tige of the road has long since disap
peared. Nevertheless, there Is a tradition
which receives credit among many resi
dents of the town of Braddock that a tree
is still standing over the place where the
British leader met his fate.
This tree a shaggy hickory that rears
its branches from among a number of
stumps that mark the tombs of monarcbs
of tho forest, which were chopped away
to clear the site of the growing city Is
frequently pointed out as the only monu
ment to the disaster. The tree stands 50
yards south of the Pennsylvania railroad,
a short distance east of the Braddock
station. Even this memorial to the terri
ble slaughter in the wilderness soon must
give place to commercialism. A new street
will be opened through that section of
the town and the tree will share the fate
of Its comrades that formerly constituted
a beautiful grove on the hillside.
How long this tree has been so distin
guished nobody knows. For a good many
years it has been looked upon as a cher
ished momento of the battle. The legend
which surrounds the tree with a historic
halo Is strengthened by another tradition
that the British General fell beside a
spring. Almost under the roots of the
tree Is a fountain In the green sod where
the water gushes out in a limpid stream
only to be smothered up in a sewer a
few yards away.
MOST VALUABLE WATCH.

A Stirring Petticoat
the face of tho watch it seems difficult to
distinguish the time hands. It has, of
course, the large time hands, second and
split-second hands, and double hair
springs. Besides the large dials there are
three smaller ones. It has a second dial.
& minute repeater, a minute register and
a chronograph. The Jewels used in the
works are of the meet expensive kind, and
thero are nine of them In all. The watch
weighs, case and all, seven ounces four
penny-weights. The gold weighs alone
100 penny-weights.
The case Is studded with 154 diamonds
K of which are gems weighing from half
to three-quartors of a carat. It required
the buying of many, even three times that
number, In order to select those of equal
size. That, of course, has much to do
with tho high value of this watch. Tho
largest stones are laid In a circle around
both sides of the case, and when the watch
Is opened the back of the stones set
through the covers may be seen. They are
not backed by anything that would give
doubt as to their value. On the face
cover the Initials of the owner nre set with
9S smaller stones, reading "E. J. P."
