The sheriff of Fayette county, with Ms deputies, has fceOtt defied, And the sheriff himself (tsstiuilM, shot In the aliklwund beaten And }\it \*itfi an aS In the Viands of an infuriated Hungarian womjin.

Thursday morning Sheriff o-Cormlek and his d«putlei went to Lcisonring ifb. to eviot tot) families of striking 6lavs, and as wfis their expedience at Adelaide Wednesday they had a bloody battle with an infuriated mob of men and women. Tne majority of fhe company houses at Leiseprlng Nd. are situated on a beautiful plateau of about fifteen or Wenty acres, overlooking the works in the valley '"00 or ^00 feet below, and in order to reach the houses the sheriff and his deputies had to march several hundred yards Up a steep road fronting the company's storq, at which point he ordered the militia, wliioh came up with him from Trotter, to remain until they were reeded.

It was about o'clock when the sheriff and his deputes reached house No. 105, ocoupled by Thomas Tnrr. The sheriff at onoe read the writ of eviction to Tnrr, and bv the time he w«s through with it a orowd Of three or four hundred men and women had collected in front Of the premises. Tarr, with an oath, declined to evacuate the domicile, and seizing an ax stood in the doorway and defied the sherift to enter. Andy lilaslilto's wife, who lived in thy opier half of the house and who had givtfn birth to a child only two days before, hearing- the tumult njShed out. and spying the sheriff riiadij a dive for him, pistol in hand. Tho sheriff saw her coming, and just as she was about to fire at his breast he struck tho pistol a downward blow with his left hand and at the same time fired the revolver ho had in his right hand at her. The two pistols wont off simultaneously and both took effect.

The sheriff had shot tho woman in

the

fleslir part of

th#

left thigh, and

she had shot him in the left ankle. The ball, however, $truak tyim only a glanoIng liok and did not dt him much injury. The shot in tlia woman's thigh seemed to infuriate her the more and eh a mnda a second dash at the sheriff, who shoved her baelc.

She

fell to the ground and

was carried into

the

house in a half-

unconscious condition by friends. Andy ISlasliko, seeing thot Ills wife was being roughly handle*!, made a dash at the sheriff with a club, but the nervy little officer was too quick for hiyi. and. taking deliberate aim, shot Hlasliko in the left ankle, the bullet making an ugly hole in the flesh and shatterii^r the bono. lly this time tho sheriff's blood was up, and. with a cocked revolver. 44ealiber, in either hand, lie stood with his back against the end of the house and Informed tho mob that the first man who made a move towards him lie would shoot, and shoot to kill. For a moment the crowd held baulc: then Martin Scroupka. who lives at Leisenring No. 1. left the orowd and rushed at the sheriff with a large elub uplifted. The sheriff waited until Scroupka got within 5 feet of liim and then fired. The shot took effect, the bullet striking Scroupka in the mouth, knocking out two of his teeth and lodging somewhere in the back part of his mouth. The wounded Slav wheeled and started to run along tlji- end of the house and the sheriff followed'him. firing as rapidly as he could. Someone shouted to the sheriff to look out, and turning he saw Tarr. the man on whom he had served the writ, coming toward.him with an ax. The sheriff pointed botli his revolvers at him and Tarr retreated. liy this time Capt. Washer, of Company C, had brought the soldiers up the rond on double quick, and their presence at once quelled the rioters, and the sheriff and his deputies proeeedi 1 to the work of evietirtr. and in a very short time the household effects of thirteen strikers .wore piledjn front of so many houses. The sheriff and Ills deputies, accompanied by the militia, then went to the Trotter worlds, located about I mile west of New Haven, and evicted twelve families with little trouble.

Sheriff MeCormiek arrived here Thursday evening with Thomas Tarr, whom lie arrested Thursday morning on a charge of resisting an ollieer. Tarr is now in jail. The sheriff said Martin Scroupka, whom he shot in the mouth, was badly hurt but was still living at last ae counts. Andy Blashko ami wife are both in bed. the latter suffering from the nervous shock she received more than from her wound. Ho also sa.vs that twenty families will be evicted at Morgan's works to-day and twelve at

DETHOIT STlilKliRS OIIOW VIOI.KXT. ]I:TI:OIT. Mich., April 24.—The striking street-ear employes presented a stronger front Thursday morning than at any time during the strike. The men were exceedingly active during the night, and evidently persuaded all those still remaining faithful to desert theirposts.fortheroadsare tied uptight, only One trip having been made on tho Woodward avenue road. The spirit of destruction was abroad during tho night, and rails were torn up in many places on most of the lines in the city. Barricades blocks in length were also put on the rails during the night.. The patrol wagons were kept going from place to place, but as they approached the scene of some disorder the crowd disappeared. The police department was totally unable to-cope with tho trouble, as the men were scattered in crowds all over the city. The company insists that it could run cars if proper protection wore afforded, as there are more than enough applications to fill all vacant places.

Wednesday tlio employes of the Michigan and Detroit stove worlcs.to.the number of about 8,000, gave notice that they would not work. They are mingling with the strikers and encouraging the men in every way, In many instances showing moro violence than the strikers themselves, The strikers have the sympathy of the people, who in many instances when oars have been run since tho beginning of the trouble iiavo refused to ride In them.

A conference was held Thursday afternoon between the police department, sheriff and city railway officials, and it was decided to give the company the support of the whole police department and sheriff's force to enable them to run the cars. Nearly the whole force was out in the aft moon to keep order during a monster labor parade of shoemakers and stoveniolders. Immediately after the parade passed it was decidod to start ten cars for the evening service on Woodward avenue. The first ear got away all right, followed by a patrol wagon containing ten officers.

A

second ear started im­

mediately after, without tho accompanying protection, however, and the strikers throw It on its side and across the track. The attempt to start oars was then given up, but the first one out continued its perilous course, being the target of anything handy to tho strikers tho whole length of the avenue and meeting with the jeers and taunts of the people as it passed along. Two policemen were on every corner the whole length of the route, and the ear eventually reaohed the river front in safety

A car which had boon lying at the river front all day was then started up the hill. The word was quickly passed, and in a short time about 15,000 people packed tho broad avenue from the north side of Jefferson avenue down to the river. The car started up the hill at breakneck speed, the about it, a man among tho orowd the bridle of the driver whipped his horses and the man was dragged from his feet and pulled all the way across the street. Hut he held on. rnn tho horses into a buggy and stopped tho ear. In the meantime a number of buggies, trucks, etc., had been run across the track. Tho dozen policemen on the car tried to remove them but could not. Then Stratlicrn llendrie, the treasurer of the company, got up on tho front, platform with the driver. Pulling a big revolver from his pocket he pointed it threateningly at the crowd. Immediately erics of "kill liim, hang him," etc., went up. ltricks began to fly through the car windows, aud it looked as if the car, driver, policemen, Hendric, and all would be torn to pieces, llendrie's discretion evidently got the better of his valor then and tho ear was started back. The crowd pursued it and, unhitching the horses, tried to run the car into the river. A ferryboat coming into the dock just at that moment prevented thein carrying out their design. At this point the crowd was' charged by a force of police and clubbed unmercifully. Revolvers were drawn and for a few moments it looked as if there was to be bloodshed, but tlie police presented a sturdy front and effected some arrests which quickly quieted tho crowd considerably. It began to rain shortly after, and as no more attempts were made to run cars the crowd gradually dispersed.

mob closed leaped from and grasped team. The

To-day promises to be exceedingly quiet, as the street-car company has decided. upon the advice of tho mayor aud city counselor, not to attempt to run any ears. The mayor has issued a proclamation calling upon ull citizens to keep order, and reciting the statue empowering him to call out the militia in case of necessity.

Tho Holy City Badly Shaken tTp by a Powder Explosion.

SEVEN PERSON'S INSTANTLY KILLED.

Over SOO Injured—Mnny Ituildlnui Demolished—The Purllument IIOUM' HIIII the Vftlii-illl Damaged People Panic Stricken.

DETAILS OK THE DISASTKU ROMK, April 24.—The powder magazine at the fort at Pozzo Pantalco exploded at 7 o'clock a. 111., Thursday completely demolishing the. fort, killing seven peasants who were in the vicinity and seriously injuring hundreds of others. The fort was four kilometers from Home, but the explosion shook this city to its center. Houses rocked and trembled as though smitten wit,U an ague, while tlie glass from thousands Df broken windows.was hurled through tho air and fell in dangerous showers the streets. Tho great cupolavsurnounting the parliament building .-vas mashed to pieces and tlio surroundng streets strewn with its debris. The loors of offices ami private residences .vero burst open the terrific concusllon and heavy articles of furniture were overturned. Many of the people vhom the early hour found still tsleep were thrown from their beds and lashed violently upon the floors of their ipartments. Panic-stricken, the be.vildered people in thousands poured sut upon the streets, fearing and fully txpecting to find the city in tho '.lnoes of a great earthquake.

Confusion and terror was every.vhero. Men looked in each other's [aces only to find reflected there the (ear which possessed themselves. Women praying aloud, others hurrying tfitli their children to find refuge from jn unknown danger, and still others weeping hysterically and aimlessly tvringing their hands were met at ivory corner.

When the city had quieted down and an investigation had been lind it was found that enormous damage nad been done to the fort, which was filled with soldiers a few moclients before the explosion occurred. Fortunately the commandant heard the warning rumble and at once ordered the men to vacate tho building. This was promptly done and a terrible disister was thus averted.

King II umbert, accompanied by Premier Rudini and every member of the cabinet, lias gone to tlie scene of tlie disaster. A military cordon lias been established at Pozzo Pantaleo and the people are forbidden to approach the vicinity of the wrecked fort.

Forty small houses in tho neighborhood of the exploded magazine are entirely ruined and many more are seriously damaged. The appearance of tho king in tho streets on his wa_i to Pozzo Pantalco excited the. utmost enthusiasm among the people who still thronged tho thoroughfares, and exerted a decided influence in reassuring tho timid. When King Humbert, was seen returning from the Wreck conveying some of the wounded t% the hospital in his own carriage he was given an ovation all along the lino of his progress.

Two officers dangerously wounded and 120 eivilinns have thus far been taken to tli6 hospitals. Every house within a radius of a kilometer from tho point of the explosion Is more or less damaged. It has been ascertained that 250 tons of powder was stored in the exploded magazine.

The Vatican was not spared. The edifice was shaken and several of the historical stained glass windows of the old building were shattered. The windows in the ancient Raphael chambers and the stained glass in the royal staircase, presented to Pope Pius IX. by the king of Ilavaria, were seriously Injured. Tlie interiors of many of the old churches and palaces have also suffered.

Sig. Nieotora, minister of the interior, stated in the chamber of deputies Thursday afternoon that forty-eight persjms were injured at the scene of tho explosion uud that about 200 persons in tills city were slightly hurt. The minister of war said that there were 2ii1 tons of powder in the magazine, but that none of the new explosive, balestite. was stored there. It is surmised that the explosion resulted from slow combustion of the powder.

WoitCESTEit, Mass., April 2-1.—Philip L. Moen. president of the Washburn A Moen Manufacturing Company, died at his home in this city late Thursday afternoon. Ho suffered a stroke of apoplexy several days ago and never rallied. He was born iu Wilna. N. Y., November 18, 1S24, and had been connected with the wire worlts in this city forty-six years.

Wilson. Wilson was 11 coachman —a low, vulgar fellow—and yet, without any apparent reason as far as is known, Mr. Moen in tho course Of seven years paid |iim between SSOO.OOO and S400.000. He began to make these payments to Wilson in lS7f. Iu 18S2 Mr. Moen announced to Wilson thut he should pay liim 110 more money, giving him thou 320,000. Wilson iu 1 v\"i brought suit against Moen for SI HI,000, claiming that tho Worcester manufacturer had agreed to pay all liis (Wilson's) breach of piomiso cases and they aggregated that figure. The jury disagreed. Since Wilson lias been wandering about, being now nominally a commercial traveler in the west. Mr. Moou never mentioned the affair to even his intimate friends. lie insisted that it was a case of blackmail, pure and simple, but declined to make any explanation further than to say his good (jre. name was not involved iu Wilson's
