THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY,, AUGUST 19, 1902. SHOT BY A DEPUTY Fatal Result of a Clash in the Anthracite Region. STRIKING MINER WAS KILLED Order- Was Quickly Restored," EfoVr erer, and Troops Were Not Sum moned Confidence of John. Mitchell. NESQUEHONING. Pa., Aug. 18. In a clash between striking mlneworkers and deputies 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 person being injured, and the town is now quiet. A deputy, named Harry McElmerite, was arrested, charged with the killing of Sharp, and was taken to the County Jail at TMauch Chunk. The shooting occurred shortly after 6 o'clock. Fivo .deputies were on their way to shaft No. 1, of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, just outside of the town. In the center 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 pre vent any trouble. The strikers, it Is said, then began to abuse the men, and followed them nearly 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 he died almost In stantly. Witnesses say that the shoot ing was done by McElmerite. and that ho 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 largo crowd gathered aboutr the place. When it was learned that Sharp was dead, there was the greatest indignation among the strikers and other townspeople, and for a time It looked as If serious trouble would follow. Cooler heads among the mlneworkers, however, prevailed upon the crowd to disperse, urging the argument that if there is any bloodshed troops will be st-nt here from Shenandoah. The crowd dispersed and the town soon calmed down to a normal state. SHENANDOAH. Aug. 18.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18. The subject of the relation of the militia to the coal miners has caused an animated discus sion among the delegates at the meeting just held -of the Central Federated Union of this city. The matter was brought up by a delegate, who said he had been informed that there is a regiment of ml lllla In Pennsylvania composed entirely of members of the United Mlneworkers. "This js a remarkable condition of af fairs," he continued. "These militiamen are liable to be called on to take up arms against their brethren who are on strike for llvjng wages." He proposed that President -ailtchcll, of the United Mlneworkers, be requested, to Bee that members of , the union in future do not join the -National Guard. Several delegates said that the central body should consider well before taking any such action. The miners, they said, have trouble enough on their bands now. An other delegate remarked that It would be better if the National Guard were made up of trades unionists. He preferred to encourage members of labor unions to join the militia. "If the militia are made up of the members of labor unions," he continued, "the soldiers would hardly care io shoot' their fellow workers when on strike. I want to see battalions, regiments In tact, an army of militia composed of trades unionists. They would be bettT than the United States Army." , "I am a meiriber of the National Guard," another delegate said, "and I am not ashamed of it. But if I were called upon to shoot down worklngmen on strike. I would resign." The decision wa's to allow the subject to rest until after the end of the strike. In the Wyoming- Valley.

Two hundred "car men, Including carpenters, coachbullders and. painters, employes in the Union Pa cific shops here, unexpectedly went on strike today against the piecework sys tem. The leaders say that all the car men on the system will be asked to ault work. Some time ago the carmen com pleted an -agreement with the Union Pa cific road which included what was known as the premium scale.' and which put the men on a piece basis. The un derstandlng was that no man was to re ceive less than his time amounted to at the regular hour-wage scale, and was to have premium for extra work -accomplished over a certain amount. The agreement created dissatisfaction and in tcrnal friction in the Carmen's Union, and today's strike is the result. For the company the following state ment was given out: "We entered into the contract with the carmen in good faith on July 7, for a period of 12 months, and so far as we know, everything was satisfactory. No grievance committee has visited us. and if the carmen will not stand by their agreement, there Is nothing left for us to do. We do not expect men at other points to quit work without notice and will stand by ithelr contract until a new one is made. The effect of the strike here will causo little trouble, as there is little work to be done at this season There are enough men left to meet the present requirements and new men for carshops are not hard to obtain." . . j No Demand for Troops.

During theln brief stay in"' London, the Generals havt! been the recipients of many invitations and kind messages of welcome, which they fully appreciate. The report that the decision of tho Generals not to visit the naval re view was due to the influence of Mr. Fischer is not true. The real reason for declining the Invitation was that they did not consider their attendance quite suit able for a ceremonious visit, and the necessarily short notice conveyed to them did not give them the time for necessary preparations.

In tho course of a ser mon in which, was shown how vain was man's effort to'span -tho xrilghty dis tance between earth and heaven andx dis cover the secret of tho Almighty flame, the preacher for a moment descended from his. poetic plane, and, with dramatic outspokenness unfamiliar to frequenters of the City Temple, actually excited- the listeners Into a. demonstration of applause.
