FUNERALS The Entire State Is Mourning With Us Today. BURIAL SCENES DESCRIBED. The Incidents Transferred to Paper -Expressions of Citizens -Meetings Held on all Sides. GEN. GOBIN WILL MAINTAEN PEACE.

The Carefal Citizens Imploring a Prudent Review- -History of Strike--Statements of citiZens- The Situation summed Up. The situation at the present time is such as to make.it in a degree dangerous for individuals to express themselves. In this case it behooves the Prudent man to say nothing. A perusal of the incidents in the strike in the Scranton district in 1877. shows that the present trouble establishes no precedent, and it behooves all people collect their thoughts, deliberate and reason.

What has transpired here is Dibut a reproduction of trouble that occurred elsewhere in gone by. Therefore let the matter" be viewed calmly and let serenity be invited and promoted. The harsh statement made now is gigantic when Ave look at it calmly. Regret, sorrow land consolation all express now, but what substantial aid does it provide, nothing. The duty now is to prepare for an investigation and inquiry regarding the adjustment of the labor troubles.

Careful judginent at the present time is the paramount duty of 0. citizens. While we may rave and rage we can also rejoice. We can testify to the fact that the arrangements for the funerals were conducted in a quiet way and that these funerals were not indicative of It latent trouble likely to develop later. lie must reflect that conditions during the past week were such as to terrorize of and intimidate, and with the gravest apprehension results were viewed.

Now then, can we consistently go into of a deep denunciation one way or the a other? Do not attempt it. Prudence dictates otherwise, and for the safety and peace of the community we exhort all people to refrain from hasty action. The proud boast which we refer to is sovereignty. The people compose the sovereign power and they shall rule. Sunday In Hazleton.

All was quiet in this city, yesterday. 'The streets were crowded with visitors from all parts of the country, and not for many years has so much activity been noticed. As early as nine o'clock hundreds of wheelmen from Pittston, Wilkesbarre, Nanticoke. Mananoy City, Pottsville, Bloomsburg and Berwick were here, Farmers from the valleys, north and south of the city, drove to town in large numbers. Each incoming train brought hundreds of strangers many of whom were never in this region before.

There have been parades in Hazleton on national holidays when there has not been as many people to witness it as were on hand yesterday. The boys in blue as they marched in along the various streets and through courts attracted considerable tion, and for hours men, women and el children circulated looked on. through The the city cavalry durtroops ing the afternoon and evening. Considering the land office business by many saloons very few drunken men were seen and the police had no trouble with any one. Sapday In Luttimer.

During yesterday, early morning until late at night thousands of people visited objective point being the spot where the strikers were shot down. They got there on traction cars, in wagons and carriages. some on bieveles and hundreds walked, Many of the visitors were women. Relic hunters were numerous among them. and stumps and trees containing ballets have been carted away with cle knives.

There was no disorder of any kind. The 13th regiment from ton is camping in the field at rear of the company stable. At The Hospital, Dr. Keller superintendent of the hospital, takes exceptions to the arous reports sent out regarding the shooting, and especially those indicating that the majority of the men shot were hit from the reas, or while retreating. He says: "The New York Herald particularly mi-repre-ents matters, because the rep rter was here and explained all to m.

At 9'clock a number Hungarian priests and citizens called at General Gobin's headquarters at Valley hotel for the purpose of discussing today's funerals. The meeting was private, and to make sure that were kept in the distance, a guard was stationed at the door.

The session lasted half an hour. When it adjourned Matthew Long was asked for information. He said: prefer you see Gen. Gobin. Gen.

Gobin was seen and said: "Very little is to be reported about this meeting. The conference was relative to the funerals, the principal subject being the marching of men in arms. I told the committee I would prohibit it and all expressed their desire for harmony. They also agreed with me that the Mayor be requested to close saloons from 10 o'clock this morning until 4 o'clock this afternoon." THE FUNERALS. The first funeral procession came in from Harwood at 11:15.

First came the Audenried coronet band followed by St. Kasimer society of Hazleton, then came a hearse bearing the body of Anthony Grekas. Behind this were carriages bearing the widows and children. A second hearse bearing the body of Andrew Mitzkotchki, then followed the mourners, the third body, that of Raphial Ravish, and mourners in wagons and carriages numbering eighteen. The procession moved north on Laurel street to St.

Peter and St. Paul's Lithuanian church. There the bodies were taken from the hearses the church, and services were ducted by Rev. Martusch, the pastor. In the line following the bodies there were 1560 men, and at the church there were as many more people.

The services lasted an hour, after which the bodies were taken to St. Stanislaus cemetery, where the three bodies were placed in one grave. The excavation was 10 by 12 feet, nine men were working there when the procession arrived. This work was not completed when the cortege came up, and consiaerable excitement was created by the cry of fire, which was raised by the workmen when blasting. The second funeral started from Undertaker Bonin's establishment.

Here the collection of people was SO large that the streets were filled and the lots in the vicinity also. The scene here was most affecting. Women and children cried and a demonIstration that showed the sore grief. suffered. Six men carried each coffin.

The names of the dead were: Andrew Zemenski of Crystal Ridge; Stanislaus Lajorsk1, John Skip, Andrew Mineckaski, Kaiziek Zanku, Waiceh Czala, Franci Kzeshipski, Ziembat. Sabiestian Bzostapski, Wojciech The pallbears, six to each body, formed a circle when starting on the march to the church. The first society in the procession was the Italian band of Bunker Hill, followed by the Italian American Society of Hazleton. These men carried sabres. Then came the St.

Stanislaus Society and St. Joseph's. Then the band started up a dead march and the procession moved to St. Stanislaus church on Carson street. There were great numbers of people here.

When the church was reached the societies divided. forming two lines. The men took off their hats and the nine bodies' were carried through. The band played a funeral dirge. Rev.

Aust and the surpliced acolytes met the men at the church steps. There were also a number of other priests present, Rev. Peruizzi, Rev. Delenskejtis, etc. The priests distributed holy water upon the coflins as they were carried by.

The altars lit with candles. The bodies were placed across the pews. Then the societies took. their seats and those who were unable to gain admittance crowded along the sidewalk for a block back. The service' was of the most character.

Five priests ofliciated. The chanting by the choir and acolytes could not be heard because of the cries and sobs of the assembled mourners. Rev. Zyrhowiz preached the funeral services in the Polish language. At the conclusion, Rev.

J. V. Moylan of St. Gabriel's church addressed the people in English. The nine bodies were interred in a grave 9 by 21 feet.

There was crowds of people gathered, all of whom expressed sorrow for the bereaved relatives. Of the twelve men buried today four Polish, four Greeks and four Lithuanians." Yesterday's Fauerals. Yesterday occurred the funerals of four. Frova Humboldt the bodies of John Futa, Mike Cheslok and Stephen Wriek were carried, and the body of Andrew Morta was taken from Harwood to the cemetery. John Futa was member of the Humboldt band and on coffin lay the cornent, which instruhe played.

Here as a final testimonial gathered, the members' of St. Josephs John's Slavonian societies. "At the shanty where John Futa lived and where his mother was mourning her loss came the Slavonian band. While the priest administered the last sacrament and the band played dirges the stood on the little and grasping the railing ad'dressed the crowd in an impressive manner. She was still shouting out imprecations when the procession was moving.

At the church Father Aust assisted by Father Stas officiated. Interviews. George Yeager, an eye witness of the shooting, was seen and gave his version of the affairs as follows: "When the strikers neared Lattimer, the- sheriff's deputies were drawn up alongside the roadway. Sheriff Martin came out to meet the men, reading a paper and calling upon them to gO back home. One of the strikers replied that this was a public road and the men had a perfect right to walk on it The sheriff seized the man, pulling his revolver at the same time.

Our men attempted to rescue the prisoner, and the sheriff discharged his weapon. at the same time calling on the dep: uties to fire, Instantly the order was obeyed and our men fell on ull sides. To my mid the sheriff's life was in Woman's A fork unft properly to tone, sustain and renew the wasting of nerve, muscle and tissue. The only remedy for tired, weak, nervous women is in building up by taking a good nerve tonic, blood purifier and vitalizer like Hood's Sarsaparilla.

All druggists. 250 danger, as the men carried no weapons, and his order to shoot was entirely unealled for. Paul Yavock, one of the marching strikers said: We met the deputies on the road, and the sheriff came forward and held a parley our men. In the meantime a deputy with, a sandy beard, and who carried a gun under his arm caught two of our men and and attempted to take them toward the deputies. Others pressed forward to rescue and help them when a volley was fired into our ranks by the deputies.

Men fell on every side and the slaughter was appalling. When behind a tree in a place of safety I looked behind and noticed a deputy on the trolley take careful aim atuch retreating unconcern as striker though with as he were shooting game. I tell you it was terrible, and the events of that afternoon will never be effaced from my memory. There was absolutely no provocation for the slaugh ter, and if the deputies had fired the first volley in the air the strikers would have been dispersed just as effectively. John Maujack another striker who escaped says: The sheriff advised us to turn back, but we replied that we were on a public highway and perfect right to go ahead.

No effort was made' to stop us and we. pushed forward toward Lattimer. The deputies boarded the trolley car and went on to Con Herron's. They were drawn up across the road leading to Milnesville, but we did not intend to proceed that way. Instead we turced and pushed on toward Lattimer.

The deputies again boarded a car and reached Lattimer in advance. They were drawn up in several companies almost across the roadway, and the sheriff and a deputy came forward. A scuffle ensued in our front ranks and the strikers in the rear pushed forward. Immediately the guns of the deputies we're emptied into our ranks fell on each side of me. How I escaped I do not know.

We meant no harm and we thought we had a perfect right to march on a public road when we car. ried no weapons." Gen. Gobin was seen in regard to the arrest and locking up of Constable Duser. He said: "I am now acting for the Commonwealth. While martial law does not prevail according to Gun.

Jackson's interpretation, it is practically the same. Where the sheriff of the county has exhausted his power, then the militia comes in. The militia are expected to protect the sheriff and his men and that is why the constable was locked up. We now have 2,800 men here. 'There is no disorder, no obstreperous manifestations, and there will be no occasion for calling out the first brigade." Rev.

Dr. Shields, chaplain of United Mates Army, formerly pastor of the Methodist church in this city, says: mobilization of troops is perhaps questionable, but there never was a better lesson furnished the foreigners of this locality. As to responsibility am not prepared to say, it is divided now." Mayor Altmiller, says: "I am an old soldier and bloodshed is nothing new to me. I am not surprised at the outcome here. I expected at.

The strikers have my sympathy. When the men declared their intention to march through the city on Thursday, I told them that I could not permit it. They advanced as you know to the line and I met them They then took a circuitous route without quarreling with anyone and without disturbance. They were handled on this occasion without difficulty and I believe that they could be handled in the same manner all Dr. H.

P. Levandoski of New York, representing the aliens of the United States, said: "I have brought $1,250 here today to prosecute the deputies. We received a telegram of condolence from M. J. Sadoski.

of Chicago, general secretary of society, that he will send one thovsand dollars. This society has 12000 members. We denounce the gang called deputies." Abner Smith, attorney, writes: "The action of and his deputies in shooting down the Hungarians on the public highway at Lattimer, is to say the least. outrageous, unprovoked and uncalled for, and the offenders should be brought to justice without delay. If men of judgement, who have regard for the rights of others had been in their places, their would have been no bloodshed.

No words can be used sufficient to express the indignation of the majority of the citizens of this wholesale slaughter. I. B. Tutko, a striker, says. "I am not prepared to talk of this thing, as we have been advised not to do so.

was shot myself, the storm of bullets against us was so great that our men dropped like chaff. It was our intention to try and induce the workingmen Lattimer to come out. After we deft West Hazleton we held 8 brief consultation, but there was no formality about it and ench man held his own council practically. The understanding was to go across the turni pike. We were told by some person that we would not be permitted to march in body, while others said that we would.

The injunction process was not served as far I know. We decided to take chances and proceed. When we appronched Lattimer none of the men carried clubs or weapons of any kind. We lost our American dug in the serimmage at West Hasieton and substituted a chestnut tree branch, each man took a twig of this kind. When the line was stopped by the sheriff not a man said abything in defiance.

The sheriff wanted to arrest John Labota, Labota was insisting that he was on the public highway and could not be interfered with still the sheriff pressed him and was dragging him from the ranks when the firing commenced. That's all I know." The Sentinel interviewed Mr. Fahey. president of the Miners' Union this morning, and he gave the following signed interview: "In wy opinion, if the proper thing were done, operators and miners throughout this entire district would come together and agree upon a uniform scale of wages and conditions of employment to govern all alike. It seems to me that if this were done it would give more general satisfaction and go further toward preventing discontent between employer and ployed, than can possibly be expected from not doing this.

I believe, too, that something of this kind would be fair to all concerned, employer as well as employed. In this district natural advantages and disadvantages in the production of coal are practically the same to all, therefore it seems that no employer in district should have an advantage over another employer when paying wages to or imposing conditions employes for performing the same grades of work. I fail to see where any person could in fairness object to bringing about a condition such as this, that would in alike? operation in this region treat all and give neither an advantage over the other. At this time of nothing else that is better calculated to promote and continue a healthy feeling of satisfaction and contentment between the employers and employed of this district." 10 The Sheriff. In an interview published in the Wilkesbarre Leader, Sheriff Martin is quoted as saying: "Did you give the order to fire, sheriff?" No, I did not.

That word never came from my lips. When the deputies saw that 1. was attacked I suppose they thought it was their duty to protect me. One of the men fired, then another and the firing became general. I suppose that they thought the strikers were about to attack them also and followed the example of the first man who fired." "Do you think the deputies were justified in doing what they did?" that I will say nothing." met the men were they on private property or on the public road?" "They were on the public road, but had announced their intention to attack private property." "Had they, up to the time you were attacked by the one man or several of the men, committee any act of depredation?" "None, only their announcement that the were going to do so." John Duser, This morning John Duser, the stable who was arrested by the militia and locked up, was seen by the reporter.

He said: "Here is the warrant. It is regularly drawn up and I had no alternative but to take, the manas indicated. When I reached his house the soldiers were about it. They arrested me. I spent the night in the lockup." Gen.

Gobin was seen by the reporter relative to this matter. He said: "Martial law has not yet been declared. At the same time the presence militia is equivalent. I am under the orders of the Sheriff. What he says goes, but if it is found that citizens are attempting to interfere or arrest any of the men under the Sheriff then we will arrest them." Hazle Township Citizens, The citizens of Hazle township held a meeting.

Arthur Evans acting as an interpreter addressed the men. The following resolutions were adopted: We, the citizens of the Fifth district of Hazle township in mass meeting assembled to express our sympathy to those who are killed and wounded by the sheriff and his deputies at Lattimer on September 10th, do adopt the following: Whereas, A great calamity which will go down in history as the greatest crime of the Christian era, has befallen this peaceful community and the rights of the people to assemble for a redress of grievance has been in an unwarranted manner, therefore, be it. Resolved, That we express our heartfelt sorrow for the widows and orand that we extend our aid morally and finacially to the relatives and friends of the dead and wounded. Signed.
