Justice of the Peace McKelvey, of Hazle township, who was upon the stand at the adjournment last night, was re-called, and read a Joint letter which he had written to G. B. Markle & Co., the Coxe Bros. Co., J. S. Wentz & Co. and the Pardees, who had previously written him instructions as to his duty. In this letter, the 'Squire told the mine owners he knew his duty and that from his observation It was the imported "toughs" of coal and iron police, and not the strikers, who were creating all the trouble. Washington, Feb. 3.—The senate had the army appropriation under consideration. It was about to be passed when Mr. Pettus (Ala.) requested that It go over to permit some amendments to be offered. Mr. Berry criticised as remarkable a defense made several days ago by Mr. Proctor (Vt) of Captain Brownell, said to have been connected with the death of Father Augustln in the Philippines. The statehood bill was bp for a short time, and Messrs. pard and Quarles spoke In opposition to It After a brief executive session the senate adjourned out of respect to the memory of the late Representative Rumple of Iowa.

Waterbury, Conn., Feb. 3.—Despite the presence here of the armed troops rioting has been resumed by sympathizers with the street railway strikers, and sceneB more exciting than those of last Saturday night have been witnessed. London, Feb. 3.—The king's very sudden indisposition, necessitating the postponement of his visit to the Duke and Duchess, of Devonshire at Chatworth, has created general surprise here, and it remurked as curious, to say the least, that the king should Aave been apparently In excellent health and spirits, laughing heartily with the Prince of Wales during the tree planting ceremony, and then within an hour he should have been pronounced as suffering from a feverish cold and unable to leave Windsor castle as arranged.

A company of the First regiment charged on a crowd of rioters on the Oakvllle line, about three miles from the city, and dispersed It without causing Injury to any one. Many of the women were not to be put off by this reply. Dropping to their knees and In tears, they begged of the superintendents that they appeal for them to the heads of the refineries for i continuance of work for their husbands. It was only when the superintendents promised to do so that the women left the buildings. EP"Next to Eagle Hotel. YOU GET THE BEST AT WILLIAMS and M'ANULTY Two motormen were severely injured by stones and shattered glass, and the crews of four cars deserted. A few passengers In the cars oprated on the Bank street line became panic stricken when a shower of rocks fell upon the car. The few cars operated were filled with soldiers. The king's dislike for breaking public nnd private engagements Is well known by the people, therefore they are Inclined to be skeptical regarding the cause assigned for his having done so at the moment when the alteration of bis programme must have caused great inconvenience to a great many people besides his expectant host and hostess. In the streets in the neighborhood of the refineries men and women were seen sobbing on each other's shoulders, while others went nbout with sad faces seeking consolation from their neighbors. Crying children were in evidenco everywhere In the district. 'Squire McKelvey was rigidly crosa* examined by John T. Lenahan, with the result that It was proven his sympathies were entirely with the strikers, that he spent his evenings visiting among the strikers' pickets and giving them such aid and comfort as was In his power. The witness admitted he had hired an omnibus and In it had taken away girl employes of the Hazle House, "but declared that he had done this at the request of the girls and that he had not Induced them to leave by telling them the hotel was a "scab" house and that its boarders were "scabs." The witness denied several other allegations of Mr. Lenahan that he had called men "scabs" and taken an active Interest In a number of boycotts. He admitted he had been arrested and bound over for court in connection with an assault upon Albert Schenck, but denied that he actually had any part in the assault, but had helped his son, William Schenck, to get away from the enraged crowd, in Hazleton. He declared he had seen Schenck's wounds later, in tlio hospital, and in his opinion the wounds were not stab wounds, but scratches which might have been made with a snarp stick. He had heard that Schenck had been confined to the hospital for a month. He had not made any official investigation or sought to bring the assailants of the old man tcjustlce. He said he did not consider it any of his business, as the assault occurred in the district of another justice of the peace.

In anticipation of trouble soldiers were detailed to guard the entire length of the lines in the city limits. 15 South Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. New York, Feb. 3.—Four business men, one, Coleman Fales, a member of the New York Produce Exchange, were arrested In their offices on lower Broadway and taken to police headquarters, where they were locked up. It is alleged by the police that the prisoners were connected with a "wheat syndicate"—a concern that promised in advertisements to pay astonishingly big profits on money invested In wheat through them. The nominal charge placed against each of the prisoners was thnt of being "a suspicious person," but it was said that when the men are arraigned in court they will be charged with violating the United States postal laws and regulations. HotornaD Injured! It Is possible that the Brooklyn Coop erage company, which has been supplying the refineries with barrels, mnj have to shut down, and in that event about 2,000 more men will be thrown out of employment. MoBt of the employees In the refineries are Germans, Poles nnd Hungarians, nnd their pay averages from $G to ?9 a week. The strike sympathizers made but slight demonstrations In the city proper, but for a half hour did about as they pleased on the outskirts. Oil the Oakvllle line a car returning to the city was struck by a shower of rocks when about three miles from the center of the town. The motorman, John Harris, was struck by flying glass about the face, but he drove liU car along at a furious pace and escaped the rioters, only a moment later to see a mound of rocks and logs on the track. He stopped the car quickly and, accompanied by the conductor, fled to the car barns. Having regard for the suddenness of his illness and the fact that feverish colds do not ordinnrily develop with such rapidity, also the invariable practice of the court physicians and other oiiicinls to minimize royal ailments, there is a tendency to attribute the indisposition to a recrudescence of the case of appendicitis which caused the postponement of the coronation nnd which cnme nenr to causing the loss of his majesty's life last year. Feari of Appendicitis, Have a Look! Prime Chuck Roast, AT OUR PRICES. A report was current in Wall street that all the sugar refineries In the vicinity of New York except those of the Arbuckles would be shut down because of an overproduction of refined sugars on the market.

Y., Feb. 3.—The Union free school at Rehnsselaer Falls has been totnlly destroyed by fire, and seven of the pupils in jumping from a second story window to a woodpile fifteen feet below were more or less injured, but none fatally. Shortly after tlie school session opened flames were noticed issuing from the radiators In the floors. The teachers marched all but seven of the pupils out In order. The seven remained behind to get their wraps and, finding themselves cut off by the flames, jumped from a second story window. The pupils and teachers lost all their books and wraps. A company of the First regiment londed its guns for the first time and boarding a car was hurried out to the scene. A crowd of about fifty men was near. With a shout the soldiers charged on the group with bnyonets. The trouble makers slipped off into the, thick fog which fell upon the city Into in the evening and were not pursued. Eleven Bnrned to Death. Vancouver, B. C., Feb. 3.—In a fire which broke out on Malcolm Island, some distance up the coast from Vancouver, in a common living house where twenty-four families lived eleven women and children were burned to death and seventeen other people were Injured. There was no water supply, and the crowd which gathered around the blazing building could do little but wnteh the women and children burn to death. Several children were thrown from the house at their feet, and n number of women leaped from the second story of the doomed structure, receiving severe injuries. It is known that sufferers from appendicitis frequently have very sudden attacks, hence the anxjety of the public is not dispelled by the reassuring statement that his indisposition in this case is only a feverish cold.

The car had been moving slowly and no derailment occurred.The Dally News publishes the following telegram from Baron Knoliys, the king's private secretary: "The king has a feverish cold. He Is doing well. There Is really nothing more to say." Boots and Shoes. The witness evidently did not make a favorable Impression on the commission. and Judge Gray cross-examined him rigidly, dternl.H and at length about his every movement on the night of the assault. McKelvey avoided all direct questions and got badly mixed up in many of his facts. Judge Gray finally sank back disgustedly in his chair, saying, "Well, give it up." Commissioners Parker and Watkins also questioned tlie Witness, but without result. It was an uncomfortable time for the witness, however. A Grand Army Ha liquet.
