ANGRY" MINERS RIOT. v.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 29.—A wave of anarchy in whose train followed bloodshed. arson and the destruction of property passed over the Mansfield coal region Saturday. It bepran at dawn and at dusk it was estimated that 1200,000 worth of property had been destroyed. Made mad by fancied grievances and liquor, a mob cf several hundred foreigners—Hungarians, Slavs and Italians—swept over tho country iurroundtng Mansfield and through the valleys of Toms and Painters run. They attacked mine owners, miners and a few scattered deputj» sheriffs, and destroyed railroad property.

Origin of the Trouble.

The foreign element of tho mines in that region has been making threats for several days. They have been incensed at the fnct that some of the English diggers, together with a number of their brethren, have been working for fifty and sixty cents .per ton, when they themselves want tho former so7ent.y-flve cent rate to prevail. The Iluns, Slavs and Italians formed the majority of this discontented horde, and have been nourishing their anger with bad whialty.

The Trouble Ilnglns.

About 4 o'clock Friday afternoon 400 striking miners from McDonald marchod to Armstrong's works and attacked tho tipple. They bmashed in the windows and doors, drove out the ocoupants, and attempted to fire the buildings. They demolished the carpeuter shop and started for the pits, where the men were working. The first man to come out of the pit was Paul ICotar. He was shased half a mile, captured aud badly beaten. Edward Fork and J. Plazo mot a similar fate. They were left bleeding and wounded laying in the roud. Conrad Friti was beaten, stripped ot his clothing and shoes, aud compelled to walk almost naked and barefooted through the snow.

Tlppios Hnil Cars Destroyed. The mob then went to Mansfield. At daybreak Saturday morning they appeared at the Hosedale mines of Steen & Co. and took possession of the tipple. As each car came out of the mine it was run off the tipple and allowed to drop down to the tracks of the Pan-Handle railroad. After wrecking the property the mob marched to Tom's Run. where they attacked the property of the Pittsburgh Fuel company. A number of miners at work in the pits rushed out at tho sight of the mob and were badly beaten. The mines were then cleared of all of theemployes who fled for their lives. The mob then went to the Federal mines, 4 miles from Woodville.

Firearms.

Ater committing numerous depredations they started across the hills for the Pan-iiandle coal tipple of N. A. Hanna & Co., of Cleveland. Constable llegling and five deputies took possession of tha tipple house. The mob opened fire on the officers with revolvers and drove them from tho place. Standing on the tracks at the mouth of the mines were an engine and fifteen loaded coal cars. The mob, after driving the engineer from his cab, opened the throttle of tho locomotive and ran tho train off the tipple. The oars oratshod to the Pan-Handle tracks. 40 feet below, blocking the road all afternoon. They then poured oil over the tipple and applied the torch. The property of the company was completely destroyed, entailing a loss of 815,000.

Defenders of One Mine Kill a Rioter. At 2 o'clock the mob appeared within sightof the offices of Beadling Bros., where the first serious resistance was encountered. A telephone message to the owners of the mines put them on their guard, and, with eight employes armed with rifieB, they awaited the coming of the mob. The offices and pit mouth are located in a valley between two hills. A long stretch of level land, 2,000 feet wide, extending half a mile in either direction from the tipple, gave a good view of the approaching mob. The latter appeared over the hills, and, with yells, rushed down on the tipple, brandishing clubs, pick handles, guns aud revolvers. Thinking that the tipple and offices were deserted they came running at full speed. When within 700 feet of the office one of the leaders of the mob fired a revolver. Tlis was the signal for the guards concealod in the tipple. A volley from the Winchesters stopped the mob in its wild rush and threw it into confusion. The shooting was entirely unexpected, and before they could recover from their astonishment another volley was fired into their ranks. They broke and scattered for the hills.

Five men fell, four were carried of? the field by their companions, leaving bloody tracks on the snow-covered earth. The other man, Frank Stipepeney, was shot through the breast and died Saturday evening. The guardB pursued the fleeing rioters and captured ueven.

Stores Sacked.

The other rioters then ir arched to Bridgeville, where after driving out the occupants they sacked Mayer & Schuctting's general merchandise stores. Everything was taken, the windows smashed and the buildings generally demolished. When the first news of the riot was received in Pittsburgh thirty deputy sheriffs were sept out. This number was increased hourly. By evening Sheriff Richards had 120 men on the ground.

There is anything but a feeling of easiness among the citizens of the various mining hamlets. In many places Vigilance committees have been organized. Guards about the Mansfield lockup have been increased) prompted ty

the suspicion of a possible attempt to rescue tho prisoners now behind the walls.

There are well-grounded fears of another outbreak to-day, and the lawabiding citizens are preparing to meet it. Trusted foreigners, who were supposed to be in sympathy with the rioters, were sent out Sunday morning by the ooal operators. They circulated freely with the strikers, and returned with the information that preparations were being made to attack the works al ^ridgevlllo, Rosevale and Beadling.

THE WILSON BILL.

A Vote Maty D* Reaohed on Friday—1m portant Changes. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. —After the vote, shall have been taken in committee of the whole Wednesday afternoon on making the whisky and income tax schemes a part of tho Wilson bill the latter will be ready to bo reported on Thursday to the house for ratification. Before the final vote is taken, however, Messrs. Reed, Wilson and Crisp will address the house on the general subject of tariff and revenue, their text being the perfected bill. It is likely that a vote will not be reached until quite late Thursday and possibly not before Friday.

When the committee of the whole houso arose at the expiration of "the session Saturday afternoon but one amendment proposed by the committee on ways and means remained unacted on. It proposed to increase the duty on barley and barley malt from 20 and 80 per cent ad valorem respectively, to 80 and 35 per cent It failed of adoption because oflaoWof time.

Tho bill lias been considerably changed since it was reported several weeks ago, and not in accordance with the desires of the committee on ways and means. Two or three of the defeats the committee have sustained have been notable, but they retrieved one of them Friday in reestablishing the time when the free wool and manufactured wool schedules should go into effect. The house had deoided in favor of Johnson's motion to have both go into operation the day of the approval of the bill. Saturday the ways and means committee got the dates restored as proposed by them— free wool, August 1, 1894 manufactured wool, December 1, 1S04. Another defeat from which the committee did not recover resulted In placing all sugar—raw and refined—on the free list, and abolishing the bounty at once. This was the moat Important incident in the consideration of the bill. All attempts to take iron ore, coal and lumber from the free list were unsuccessful.

MR. SOVEREIGN'S PETITION.

RIU In Equity to Prevent Secretary Carlisle from Issuing Bonds. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—General Master Sovereign and General Secretary John W. Hayes, of the Knights of Labor, were ready with their bill in equity against Secretary Carlisle, but Judge Cox, of the district supreme court, after consideration, named Monday next at 10 o'clock to hear argument as to whether the bill could be admitted. It is a bill for an injunction sued out by James Richard Sovereign, for himself and in behalf of the Knights of Labor, who are said to number 800,000, and to be "too numerous to be named," against John Griffin Carlisle, secretary of the treasury, and prays that the said Carlisle aDd his confederates may be equired to make answer on oath under what basis of statute or of necessity they olaim the right to issue the bonds specified in the recent treasury circular, and to specifically answer whether such bonds are to be mad* payable in United States gold coin or otherwise, and why the necessities, if any existing, should not be met by the coinage of the silver now In the possession of tho department, and especially why it is proposed to sell bonds to a greater amount than is required to make up the deficit in tho hundred million gold reserve. They ask a Dreliminary injunction to restrain the selling of the bonds and that after a hearing the injunction be made perpetual.

The attorneys in the case are C. C. Cole, of Des Moines, la. Shellabarger &• Wilson, of Washington, and Congressman Pence, of Colorado, and Mills, of Denver.

And tho Wheels at the Midwinter Fair Begin to Rivolve.

THE EXPOSITION FORMALLY OPENED,

More Than 72*000 Persona Attend th« KxerniseA and Great Enthusiasm Prevailed—An Outline of llie Ceremonies.

IN FULL BLAST.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.—Tho Midwinter fair has at last been opened. Thousands of people from all parts of the state witnessed and participated in the dedicatory cercmonles, and the greatest and grandest enterprisa ever seen west of the Mississippi river is finally in full swing.

It was a holiday in San Francisco. The shops were closed and business was neglected and abandoned. Buildings in every part of the city were lavish-, ly decorated with flags and bunting, and the whole population thronged tho streets and gavo to them an eminently festal appearance. Thousands of visitors were here who are residents of Los Angeles and the distant, southern part of the state, of Oregou, of Washingtou, of Navada, of Arizona and of British Columbia. Tho whole Pacific coast united to celebrate the inauguration of the enterprise which means so much to every part of it

The exposition itself is beautiful, and its beauty was thoroughly appreciated by the throng of visitors. Everyone agreed that never before was seen a more charming collection of tasteful buildings.

The Parade.

Shortly after 10 a. m. Saturday the parade, under command ot Gen. Dickinson, started for the fair grounds. In the procession were four regiments of the national guard, the" regular army troops from Presidio, Gov. Markham and staff, the fair officials, civic societies, and many of the concessional features to be seen at the fair. Golden Gate avenue, the main drive to the park, was thronged with spectators, who listened to the stirring music of numerous bands, and cheered as the long line of men marched by. Shortly after 12 o'clock the procession reached the fair grounds, and assembled on tho recreation grounds, where a huge grand stand had been erected near Festival halL

Exercises at the Grounds.

The order of exercises was as follows: Medley of the airs of all nations by the Midwinter Fair band introductory address by the president of the day, James D. Phelan prayer by Bishop Nicholas grand chorus, "America," sung by the Midwinter Fair chorus of 800 voices address by Gov. Markham musio by Iowa State band address by Director General M. H. Do Young declaring the exposition open oration o« the general benefits and permanent results of the Midwinter exposition, by Gen. W. H. L. Barnes musio by the Austrian band.

Pressed the Button.

At the conclusion of his address Director General Do Young declared the exposition open and Mrs. De Young pressed the electric button which set the enormous machinery of the exposition in motion amid the shouts of the great gathering, the waving of thousands of flags and banners, salutes of a battery of artillery and the playing of "The Star-Spang}ed Banner" by the five bands. The vast audience, wildly enthusiastic, gave vent to tfceir feelings in cheer after cheer. Such a scene has never before been witnessed in Golden Gate park and it was some time before comparative quiet was restored for the concluding exercisea

At night tho buildings were illuminated and the opening day festivities closed with a grand pyrotechnic display.

Over 72,000 Attended.

Official figures from midwinter headquarters show that 72,243 persons passed through the turnstiles Saturday, opening day. Of this number over 00,000 persons paid the regular admission fee of fifty cents.

Open on Sunday.

So far there has been little or no agitation to close the fair on Sunday, and everything on the grounds was wide open. In the management of concessions and the general conduct of the exhibition there was nothing to distinguish Sunday from the opening day, and though chaos still reigns in machinery hall and all of the exhibits in the other buildings are still in a state of disorder, thousands of people visited the grounds. .'

ENJOINED FROM STRIKING.

Judge Dundy Makes an Order Reducing Union Pacific Wage*. OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 29.—Union Pacific labor circles were stirred to their depths Sunday when an order of Judge Dundy reducing wages on the system was made public. All employes in every department are affected by the cut. which amounts to nearly 10 per cent. The action of the court was not altogether a surprise, although most of the men had thought the wage question would not be disturbed. Judge Dundy not only enjoined the men from striking, but cut their pay and ordered them to continue work at the reduced pay.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST TWINS

Mrs. Swift and Mrs, Evans, Aged 88, Expire Almost at the Same Hour In Ohio* SAN DIEGO, Cal., Jan. 29.—Mrs. J. W.

Murderous Thieves Do Not Allow It to Stand in Their Way.

A KANSAS MERCHANT ASSASSIXATED.

Found Dead In His Store with Ills Hands Tied and a ftaj? In His Mouth -All Ohio .Stock Buyer Robbed and Killed.

THROAT CUT BV BURGLARS.

PITTSBURG, Kan., Jan. 2P.— One of the most horrible murders ever committed in this part of Kansas was discovered Sunday morning, when the body of William A. Chapman, one of the prominent citizens of this city, was found dead In his storeroom with his throat cut and his body frightfully slashed. Mr. Chapman was the proprietor of a grocery, and also was treasurer for the Ancient Order United Workmen of Pittsburgh. His residence adjoined his store. For some time past he had been sleeping in his store, on account of tho many burglaries committed Jjere.

Saturday morning about o'clock Mrs. Chapman went to the store to call her husband, and, no response being made, she aroused a couple of neighbors, who forced the door. On the floor behind the counter, in a large pool of blood, lay the lifeless body of Mr. Chapman, his hands tied behind him, a ga in his mouth aud bis body hacked to pieces with a knife, and a wound over the eye, apparently made with a clu b. Robbery is believed to have prompted the deed. The citizens are muoh wrought up over the affair and bloodhounds have been sent for. If the murderers are caught they will bo lynched.

Fate of an Ohloan.

LIMA, O., Jan. 29.—Joseph Shtpman, a stock buyer, was killed and robbed at Weston Saturday night while he was going home after arriving on a night train. He waa robbed of 12,000 and his skull beaten in by some blunt instrument. He lay all night in the freezing cold and was found by persons on their way to church. There Is no clew to the murderers. The theory of the local officers is that Shipman got into conversation with people at the train and Inadvertently told them of the money he had in his possession. They must have got off at the station unperceived by him and struok him down when they got him in a lonely place.

BATH SWEPT BY FIRE.

Business Part of the Maine Town I.tes In Rains. BATH, Me., Jan. 29.—A large portion of the business section of the city was laid in ruins by lire on Sunday. The fire, at first an insignificant affair, was discovered at 9. a. m. in the stable in the rear of the Sagadahoo block.

As a result the Sagadahoc house, two national banks, a savings bank and a dozen stores were destroyed. The total lose is estimated at between $500,000 and 1750,000, an which there Is insurance of one-half.
