GlRA.RDtyil.MS, Pa, Sept. 2*. —At
least nine men received fatal injuries
and probably two score were more or
less seriously wounded in a bloody
riot hero late Sunday night and early
yesterday morning. The battle was
the outcome of a quarrel over the Ha-
zel ton troubles. Thirty-six men are
known to have been wounded, and
about fifty more have been secreted by
their friends, who fear that they will
be sent to jail. Twelve of the ring-
leaders were brought before Justice
H. B. Johnson. All were charged
with assuult with intent to kill, house
breaking and rioting, and were held
in heavy bail for court, Many more
warrants have been issued, but have
not been served as yet
The story of the riot is as follows:
Several hundred Polanders board at
William Culacabbage's hotel on Sec-
ond street. Joseph Cavendish is pro-
prietor of a hotel in the east end of
town, where several hundred more
Polanders make their headquarters.
Bad blood has existed between them
for a long time, ami the recent strike
troubles at Hazleton embittered them
still more. Sunday night matters
came to a crisis. Culacabbage and his
followers to the number of
hundred, arming themselv
s, revolvers, knives, axes and j
clubs, marched to Cavendish's hotel, j
where several hundred of their ene- 1
niles were celebrating pay day.
The Cavendish men ascertained that ,
their foes were marching upon them, j
and, arming themselves hurriedly, j
awaited their arrival. After a demon- i
strative march, the Culacabbage con- ;
tingent arrived, and immediately j
stormed the saloon.
Then a bloody battle ensued. The j
men fought like demons. The shoot- j
ing was fast and furious—and axes, I
knives, clubs and other weapons were
used with deadly effect The battle |
lasted almost an hour, when the Cula- j
cabbage gang was routod, leaving j
their wounded behind.
Everything in the house was
smashed and the floors were strewn ]
with wounded men. The walls were
bespattered with blood and shreds of j
human flesh.
After the rioters had returned to
their headquarters, the Cavendish
gang armed themselves to the teeth ]
and marched to the enemy's rendez-
vous, where a battle still bloodier
than the first ensued. The police
force and the constables of the sur-
rounding region were called to tlis
scene, but were unable to cope with
the rioting horde, who continued hos-
tilities until morning.

Kanisn Insaraace Co in mini loner
Toi'kka, Kan., Sept. 28. — . udge
j John A. Williams Iu the United States
I circuit court to-day decided the In-
I junction case brought by the Mutual
Life Insurance company of New York
against Webb McNall, insurance com-
missiouer. and Attorney General Koyle
by granting an Injunction against
McNall and ordering him not to inter-
fere with the company ami enjoining
lloyje from interfering with the com-
pany except that he allows him to pros-
ecute quo warranto proceedings. It Is
a repetition of the action of the court
at Colorado Springs, which set all
Kansas to talking against the federal
courts, caUsed Governor Leedy to de-
nounce the court and led to Attorney
General Uovle » defiance of the court
by bringing quo warranto proceed-
ings. Why the judge allows the quo
warranto fight to go on does not ap-
pear from the opinion.
In an ordinary case Judge Williams
would have sent the decision here to
be filed by Judge Foster, but recog-
nizing its importance, he chose to
j road it himself from the bench. lie
i sat beside Judge Foster and read it
I from typewriten manuscript.
When Judge Williams had finished
j reading his decision David Overmyer,
' appearing for Webb McNall, took ex-
| eeptions preparatory to an appeal to
| the United States Supreme court,
j The opinion says in part:
| "The action of the superintendent
j in this case in refusing tc grant a
• license to transact business in the
^ . ! state to a company that he himself ad-
with ml,s to 1,0 solvent and has complied
and I with tho laws of the state» for tho
j reason contained in his letter to tho
agent of the insurance company, to
state it very mildly, is arbitrary and
is an assumption of authority by a
ministerial oflieer that is startling.
The reason for the refusal, as an-
nounced in his letter, is because they
have not treated Mrs. Sallio E. Hill-
mou, whose husband held a policy in
this company, fairly, and that the re-
fusal to pay said policy to her is the
sole basis of his refusal to grant a
license to tho company to do business
in the state of Kansas.
"As to the right of tho complainant
company to have a mandatory injunc-
tion against him, there seems to be no
question, because the complaint states
unequivocally that it has property in
this state in a large amount that is af-
fected by the action of the state sup-
erintendent of insurance, and this is
not denied by either respondent. In
fact, a denial of it would bo futiles. It
is admitted that this complainant has
effected insurance upon the lives of
more than 3,000 persons in the
i state of Kansas, and the amount of
the policies exceed the sum of §7,000,-
000.
"The relief prayed for in the bill is
granted and a perpetual injunction
shall issue against the defendant,
Webb McNall.

CONDUCTORS CONFER.
I'our Recent Discharges on Reports of
Spotter* llelng Looked Into.
St. Louis, Sept 26.—The grievance
committee of the Order of Railway
conductors of the Gould system is in
session here to-day considering the
recent discharge of four conductors
on information furnished by "spot-
ters."
In discussing the matter, President
Turner said: "The committee will con-
sider the justice of the charges which
were preferred against tho discharged
conductors, and if they are found to
be true, the matter will be dropped.
If we find that it is simply a case of
the word of the 'spotter' against that
of the conductor, we shall ask for the
reinstatement of the men."

Iowa's Republican Cantpalgu Opened.
hkd Oak, Iowa, Sept. 27.—The Iowa
Republican campaign was opened
here to-day with Leslie M. Shaw,
candidate for governor, as the princi-
pal speaker. Pleasant weather and a
great crowd greeted the candidate.
Short addresses were made by Con-
gressmen Ilager and Dolliver and H.
M. Milliman, candidate for lieutenant
governor.
Carroll, Iowa, Sept 28.—The
slaughter of a mother and her six
children occurred at the home of John
Roecker, a farmer, living eight miles
northwest of here, Sunday night.
The fiendish husband completed his
bloody work by sending a bullet
into his own head, inflicting a fatal
wound.
The family were prosperous 4Jer-
luaus, and, so far as is known, lived
happily. No motive for the tragedy
has been disclosed, Roecker's victims
are his wife and these children: Caro-
line, aged 14; Christine, aged 9; llenry,
aged Lizzie, aged 0; John, aged 3,
and an infant All are dead but
llenry, and the latter cannot recover
from his wounds
Boecker had an engagement to help
a neighbor thresh yesterday morning,
and on his not putting in an appear-
ance his brother, Henry, who lives
about twenty rods away, went, about
9 o'clock, to see why. The doors of
the house were locked and there were
no signs of life about, llenry finally
kicked in the door ami eaine upon a
horrible scene. lioecker, with his
wife and baby, slopt iu a back room,
and tho corpses lay on one bed. The
wife had been shot in the neck with a
shotgun, which stood in the corner,
and tho baby hail been shot and its
head crushed with tho butt end of a
revolver. The man, still breathing,
had a bullet hole high up on the fore-
head, and by his side was a Smith
Wesson six-shooter, with two cham-
bers emptied.
Upstairs, llenry and Lizzie lay on n
bed, with bullet holes in their heads,
the latter dead, the boy still breath-
ing. In tho opposite corner of the
same room, Caroline, Christine and
John were dead, each with a bullet
hole in the forehead.
The weapon used he hadjborrowed
from his brother, Henry, last Thurs-
day, remarking that he wanted it to
kill rats in the cellar. It is now re-
called that Boecker had since then
practiced target shooting with it
lioecker was 34 years old, and for over
twenty years lived on the same farm.
He hi*s been regarded as a prosperous
farmer and only recently bought a
200 acre farm a fow miles from the obi
homestead.
Members of his father's family say
he had no family troubles, his finan-
cial affafrs were in good shape, and
they can assign no motive for the ter-
rible crime. On the other hand, it is
said that John had disagreed with the
old folks and Henry over tho occu-
pancy of tho farm on which John
lived, and this is assigned by some as
the cause of the trouble which culmi-
nated iu murder and suicide.

Hazi.KTOX, Pa., Sept. 28.—The coro-

death of the strikers at Latimer, ren-

that they were intercepted by. said
Sheriff Martin and his deputies and
mercilessly shot to death, and we do
further find that the killing was un-
necessary and could have been avoided
without serious injury to either tier-
sou or property, and wo find finally
that the killing was waft ton and un-
justifiable; but in this we, George
Maue and F. J. MacNeal, of this jury,
do not concur; ami we, tho jury, do
further say that there was such strong
suspicions of unlawful violence at tho
hands of person or persons unknown
to this jury as to make this inquest
