A GRAVE SITUATION. Trouble Likely to Oocur at Hazelton, Pa. An Ominous Occurence st • Church—Min* •ra Prep* ring to Attend Funerals of Dead Rioters— Gen. Goblu Says Ho Will Permit No More Marching. Hazi.eton, Pa., Sept. 12.—The situ* tion here to-night is graver than it has been at any time since the bloody affray, of Friday afternoon. There is strong reason to fear a conflict between the strikers and the military to-mor-row, and there is an indication that from 5,000 to 7,000 more miners will join the malcontents. Feeling continues high against Sheriff Martin and his deputies, and the intensity of the situation is such that a sudden turn of the head or a word spoken above the ordinary tone brings a running crowd. The soldiers are watchful and ready for any emergency, ami the people of the town are in a state which may easily become panic. An incident of ugly omen occurred during the fuucral of three victims this afternoon. While services were being held inside SL Joseph's church about 2,000 of the foreigners were congregated about the doors. A number of them raised their voices, and it is declared by eyewitnesses that a policeman stationed near the door became unduly officious. Instantly an ominous muttering followed, mingled j with scowling looks and clenched lists. ! Word was immediately carried iudoors | to Kev. Father Aust. lie hurried out I to the door and bundled the men who ! seemed most quarrelsome into the j church. A few words of counsel to the | others prevented further demonstra- | tions. Trouble is in the air, and if it is to j come the time will be to-morrow morniug. This is clear from the words ut- ; tered to-night by Gen. Gobin, eom- ! mauder of the third brigade. The ’ strikiug miners have made elaborate preparations for a demonstration at I the funeral of ten of the victims, which , is iixed for half-past ten o'clock in the morning. The military authorities are | determined that uothiug of the kind shall be oermitted, aud that from this j time on there shall be no march- ; iug of any character whatj soever, whether during funer

ais or otuerwise. tnis resolution I is not generally known, and the miners are going on with their arrangements. Gen. Gobiu talked over the telephone to Gov. Hastings for an hour or more this afternoon, lie said he had merely made a formal report to the governor of the situation, it is apparent, however, that the commander is not : cheered by the immediate outlook, although he says he thinks there will be no further turbulence. He would not say when the troops are likely to be withdrawn. Furthermore, he made a levelation which put a startling aspect upou the situation. This was that the house of the engineer of No. 3 colliery had been broken into late last night by six masked men, and the engineer, who is a cripple, was unmercifully beaten. There is no clew to the identity of the assailants. The only work the man has been doiug lately is the pumping necessary to free the mine from water. The geueral had also received a formal report of the Audenreid outrage of last Thursday night, when the strikers broke into the house of Gomer Jones, superintendent of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal company. Jones, whose unpopularity with the miners was one of the first causes of the strike, was not there, but the men literally wrecked the iuterior of the house and attacked a mine powder house near by and stole therefrom a quautity of dynamite. As soon as he heard of this, Gen. Goben assigned a guard of the Thirteenth regiment to remain at Audenreid.

No further trouble is anticipated, but the governor has requested the major-general to remain here over to-morrow in case of an emergency requiring his presence. Generals Snowden and Stewart may visit the soldiers camp, after the funerals. Gen. Snowden is so well pleased with the admirable manner in which the troops are being handled by Gen. Gobin that he will not interfere with his plans. Gen. Stewart received from camp to-day a blue print showing the location of the troops. At the same time he received a telegram from Gen. 1 Gobin stating that the troops are well quartered and have plenty of supplies. The general also telegraphed that there was no trouble, and he did not look for any outbreak. AMERICAN SHIPPING. Not Suclt a Bad Show-las for a Merehaet Marla*.
