No muttcrings or “expressions of anger were indulged in. The spirit. of.the occa: sion was merely a protest against the kill ing of their fellow-men. These people came from every direction, north, east, south and west of Hazleton, and, of course, nine- tenths of them were unacquainted with : the men of the little hamlet of Harwood who were killed. ‘Their coming was to pay respect to the memory of the dead who are held as martyrs to the cause in which they are all concerned.

The number of those who marched in was augmented by the individual arrivals during the morning, and 5,000 people were packed in the streets around the chureh by noon. Priests Prontise Mediation.

CONVICTS AD CELL KEYS. SITUATION AT BILOXI. Six New Canes of Fever Reported Yes- terdny at That Point, BILOXI, Miss., September 13.—The condi- tion of affairs as regards thé fever is not materially changed from the former re- ports. Most of these sick are improving rap‘dly. The conditions of all are favor- able. Late yesterday evening there were reported two new cases in the Desporte family, living on Oak street, out near the point. This makes four cases in that family. One new case was reported yesterday by Dr. Haralson. Dr. Tackett reports yester- day three new cases. Dr. Tackett has four- teen cases of fever, nine of which he diag- neses as'yellow fever, and this {s concurred in by Dr. Gant, who had just made the round of visits with him. Dr. Gant further says the evidences of yellow fever are as clear and distinct with thé Bosarge family as he has ever seen in any case.

Merritt, com- manding the Départment of the Hast, stat- ing that six cases of yellow fever were reported in New Orleans, and that the commanding officer at Jackson barracks, near that city, had requested permission to remove the gasrison of that post to Fort McPherson, Atlanta, Ga. The War Department officials deemed it inexpedient, however, to send these troops to Fort McPherson, and orders were is- sued for the two batteries of artillery at Jackson barracks to go into camp at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. There has been no case of fever at Jackson barracks, but it was con- sidered advisable to remove the troops to a point where they would be beyond the danger of infection. serve a ——___._ eo TO FIGHT QUAY .VIGOROUSLY.

Several wheelmen who happened to come along had scared the assailants away. They succeeded in restoring Mr. Wilson to con- sciousness, and then a trip was made back ‘to Cabin John bridge to see if any one knew the two men in the carriage. On the return trip Mr. Wilson was so weak that he fell off his wheel. His coat he had given to the young lady to replace the tat- tered shirt waist. ie bicyclists who assisted the couple were two young men, between twenty and twenty-one years old each, who live some- where in the northeast: ‘Théfr names could not be ascertained. It was 4 o'clock in the morning when the party reached the Canal road at the Aqueduct bridge. One of the young men rede up to the station of the seventh precinct and got the patrol! wagon to convey Mr. Wilson to the Emerg- ercy Hospital, while the cther escorted the young lady to her home.

Heard Pistol Shots. A Star reporter saw Mr. Wilson today and secured his version of the affair, which is practically the same as given above. He remembers having heard a couple of pistol shots about the time he was struck in the head, and he lost consciousness un- der the firm belief that he was shot in the head. One of the wounds was in the back of the head near the roway and the other a short distance above the’ fore- head cn the left side of the head. He thought, and so did his companion, that the bullet had passed through his brain, and when the call was made for the patrol wagon to convey the man to the hospital the police were informed that the man had been shot. At the hospital, however, after a careful investigation, the doctors found that the wound had been caused by some blunt in- strument, most likely a blackjack. The injuries were dressed and the young man sent to his home in a carriage. His bicycle had been carried to the station house when the call was. made for the patrol, and at noon today Mr. Wilson went after his wheel himself. The local police will not be able to do anything in the matter, because the assault occurred at a point beyond their jurisdietion. ——— WOULD HANG SHERIFF MARTIN. Delaware & Hudson.
