NINE RILLED AND MANY WOUNDED.

Hi©

of Friok's Officials Set Upon by Strikers and Stoned to Death—Other Fatalities—Thousands March About

Slopping the Work*.

MILITIA MAY BE CALLED OL'T. UNION-TOWN-, I'a., April 5.—Riot, bloodshed and murder were the rule in the Connollsville coko region Wednesday. Tlio northern and central portions of the region were the scene of continuous batlle from early morning'. Ton thousand Infuriated strikers marched from point to point in the region spreading death and destruction. Jiloodier deeds were prevented by the active use of 500 riiles in the hands of determined deputies and special officers. At least nine lives have been lost already, and fully a half dozen other victims of these infuriated mobs are lying at the point of death as a result of the conflicts of the day. The civic authorities are powerless to control in any way the mobs of ignorant foreigners who now stand guard throughout the region and declare that any attempt to move a wheel means a battle.

May Cull Out tlio Troops.

Sheriff Wilhelm, after an interview with Adjt. Oen. Greenland, it Is said, will call on Gov. l'attlson to order out the national guard. The sheriff and his deputies are helpless. Unless the militia is in the region soon there will bo more bloodshed. The strikers have planned to raid the region from one end to the other to-day, and nothing but the military and plenty of it can prevent great loss of life und destruction of property.

The Victims.

The fatalities of the day included J. 11. Paddock, chief engineer of the Friek company, and a deputy sheriff, name unknown, who were murdered by the strikers, and seven unknown strikers who were killed by deputy sheriffs and guards. A dozen others were seriously, some probably fatally, wounded.

A Mob 1,000 Ml rone.

The climax of all the troubles of the day wns reached Wednesday afternoon when 1,000 armed strikers came down upon the Davidson works of the 11. 0. Krick Coke company near Connellsville. The little settlement in the vicinity of the works had been previously undisturbed by the strikers and the men after finishing their day's work were resting at their homes. The workmen were not in sympathy with the strike. The horde of ignorant foreigners pounced down upon them like wild beasts. They first went to the homes of the workmen, and there burned and destroyed property of the company and drove women and children into the fields. Not satisfied with this they subjected the workmen and their wives to the most barbarous indignities. When they had destroyed as many homes as possible they assembled on the hill above the plant to formulate plans for completing the raid.

Dfoceiidcd on the Works.

While there Hugh Coll, a Friek engineer, who was oil duty at the works, asked them to peacefully !?nve the grounds of the company. His request was received with jeers and the rioters rushed down the hill shooting and hurling stones and clubs in every direction. The leaders of the mob were at the front of the ranks, supporting the American flags and urging them forward. .1. 11. Paddock, chief civil engineer of the Friek Coke company, had walked over from his homo in Connollsville to Davidson to Interview some of the deputy sheriffs who were protecting the coke ovens. After ho had satislieil himself that everything was working satisfactorily he strolled around behind the ovens toward the mouth of tho company's mine. W. T. Kennedy, assistant superintendent of the works, and Coll followed at some distance. They had warned him to be careful*!*^

Stoned Him to Death.

.lust as he reached a position under the tipple facing the shaft he saw a party of lluns in the act of tearing away a support from the tramway. The fearless engineer advanced quickly and ordered the men away. Some of them retreated sullenly up the bank with a 6cowl of anger on their faces. A black-browed striker, with heavy, stooping shoulders, stood his ground. Paddock motioned him away with impatient gesture. At that moment one of tho men on the hill threw a stone, striking the engineer on the shoulder. A howl of rage went up from the Huns. They camo tearing down like so many demons, with their long hair flying and their eyes on fire. Paddock was thrown violently to the ground. His head was pounded to pieces with fragments of stone. After ever j- spark of life was gone one of the inec in an ecstasy of rage drew his revolver and fired a shot through tho dea 1 man's head. The party then made an attack on Kennedy and Coll, but they succeeded in escaping with only a few bruises. The rioters left at onco for tho Bradford works of tho same company, whore the men have also refused to strike.

I'itlzeui Capturo the .Murderer..

The report of Engineer Paddock's murder spread rapidly over the region and within a half hour 100 armed aitlzeus from Connellsville and vicinity, under the leadership of County Detective Frank Campbell, started in pursuit. About 3 miles down the Baltimore fc Ohio traoks from Connellsville the citiEens overtook fifty of the strikers, who were leaving Davidson. A battle ensued and a volley of shots were fired from both sides. After a desperate struggle the rioters were overpowered and ten of the leaders were placed under arrest In the conflict one Hungarian was shot through the head and instantly killed and two others were mortally wounded. The ten who were overpowered were handcuffed, tied to­

gether with ropes and taken to the cump at Connellsville. Wanted to T.ynch Tliem.

All along the way there were shouts of "Lynch them." In ConnollBville, where the murdered engineer was a town councilman, 6,000 citizens turned out to see the murderers taken through tho streets and at the lock-up, where tho men were lodged, officers armed with rifles were stationed to keep the crowd from bursting in tho door and hanging tho men to the lamp posts,

They were brought hore at night on a special train over tho Baltimore & Ohio road closely guarded and lodged in jaiL The special train-was stopped at Dawson on the way up and fifty more rioters were taken aboard. They were captured by a portion of the company of armed citizens which left Connellsville shortly after the murder while on the way to tho works of the Mount Pleasant branch. In all there were sixty-four rioters arrested aud looked up.

Another Killed.

The larger portion of the mob which visited the Davidson works escaped and went to the Broad Ford plants of the Friek company. Hore they attempted to renew hostilities, but ran up against forty guards. A skirmish followed during which fifty shots were exchanged, but at such a long distance that there was but one man killed. A deputy shot a Hungarian through the neck, causing instant death. As soon as one of their number fell tho rioters fled in every direction, leaving their comrade to be picked up by the company men. Tho force of deputies about the works has been increased to 100. The Friek company has established guards about all the works, and the most disastrous results are expected within tho next few hours.

Fatally Pounded by Women.

The wives and daughters of the strikers are almost as tierce and bloodthirsty as tho men. At Trotter, where a mob of 700 strikers were oncamped Tuesday night, a man named Andy Milla, who was suspected of sympathizing with the operators, was assaulted by a gang of infuriated women and beaten into insensibility. After lying for hours on the road he was found by somc^ friends and carried home, where he lies dying. Milla was a striker but was mistaken by the women for a workman and assaulted before he could make any explanation. A similar assault was committed on a workman by the wives of the strikers at the Painter works near Scottdale.

More Jiloo'lflhed.

During an assault Wednesday morning on tho deputy sheriffs guarding the Maytlold works of the McUlure Coke company a Hun was shot and instantly killed. He was carried awuy by his companions, and for a time peace was restored. At Donnelly the wives of tho strikers went down to the ovens aud burned the coats and hats of the workmen and carried uway their tools. The men followed up the attack and there was a lively skirmish with the deputy sheriffs. Onn of the liuns was shot by .Superintendent Felix Boyle, but it is thought that he will recover. Sheriff McCann, of Westmoreland county, was on hand and arrested thirteen of the rioters, but not until one of his deputies had been killed.

Marched froiu Plant to riant.

The main body of tho strikers, under the leadership of President L. K. Davis, of the United Mine-Workers of America, marched north Wednesday from Uniontown, where a red-hot meeting' was hold Tuesday night. At each mine and in front of coke ovens the procession stopped and the leaders did their best to get the workmen to abandon their work. At Moyer Davis explained his plan of marching north into Westmoreland county and forcing out the cokers at work there. He said the invasion of the new territory would begin to-day.

The trouble between tho cokers and the operators is somewhat complicated. The strikers are most bitter against W. J. Kainey. They claim that Ramey has not only cut their wages but that uutil the last three semi-monthly pay days he has compelled them to accept orders on the company's store for their wages.

FATAL EXPLOSION.

llouge at Oil City, l'a., ISIotvn Up—Four ol a Family Killed.

Oil. CITV Pa., April 5. —A terrific explosion occurred here at 5:80 o'clock Wednesday evening by which four persons were instantly killed and two fafully injured The dead are: Joseph Kaullis, a German laborer, aged 50 years Mary Kaullis, aged 0 years Joseph Kaullis, aged 4 years Mary Tasmer, aged 7 years. Mrs. Kaullis and her (i-months-old child were seriously hurt and are now lying in a dying condition at the hospital.

The cause of the explosion is a mystery. When it occurred Kaullis was ou tho back porch of his residence and the children were playing in the yard. His wife and youngest child wera inside the house. There was no gas burned in the house either for fuel or light. The bodies of all were terribly mangiod, and the entire rear portion of the house was wrecked. Tho only plausible theory advanced is that Kaullis found a stick of glycerine and brought it home and it waa accidentally exploded. Kaullis was thrifty and industrious and highly respected.

DKTAIL.S HARD TO OKI'.

El. HKNO, T., April is.—The military authorities at Fort Reno have received information of the Indian outbreak in county, Oklahoma. William Delesdenier, a trader at Segor, a point 35 miles from the origin of the trouble, eame lu Wednesday to purchase ammunition to tako out to the settlers. Ho says that the first reports were brought to this place by the Indians Sunday night, and they then purchased ft,000 rounds of ammunition and took it to tho baud In tho fight. The settlors, Delesdenier says, are collecting at Seger, and they have now a company of about 17.5 under arms, several bands of settlers have gone to the scene of the trouble.

Led by lt»*d Moon.

The Indians engaged are not of the band of Whirlwind, as at first believed, but followers of Red Moon. The location of tho light is on the Washinta river, about 115 miles west of HI Reno. Delesdenier and a party of settleis went to the scene of the lighting ou Monday night and found that fifteen of tho Indians and about as: many whites had been killed. It was impossible to get the names of those killed. The Indians are all armed with Winchesters aud have plenty of ammunition. The Indians from other parts of the reservation have hastened to join Red Moon in his trouble and he now has a band of about 150 "bucks" in the lighting crowd that is moving up the Washita river-

Two while men were brought into Cantonment who were killed ill tho encounter, but the number of Indians killed or wounded was not known. This information was brought ill by Clarence Trent, a horseman, who had just arrived from that point, he having ridden 05 miles to bring the information. Cantonment is not burned, as reported, but is strongly guarded by the people who have gone there for safety. All the Cheyennes from that locality have joined Red Moon's band. The settlers are nearly all ex-eowmen and cowboys, and between them and the Indians no chance Is lost to make trouble.

April 5.-—At the morning session of court Mr. Wilson, the plaintiff's attorney who is conducting the cross-examination, tried to get the witness to admit that there had been on his part expressions of affection at least toward the plaiutiff. This the witness steadily denied, but he admitted that there hud been demonstrations of affection, lie had "a warm and earnest desire for her good only." he explained. "I took her in my arms and kissed her, but 1 never expressed love for her. peatedly declared that I could marry her after her relations Nhodcs were known to me." "Do you think," .Mr. Wilson asked, "that a man is under obligations to prevent the destruction of a voung woman?" "Most assuredly 1 do, and if he does not he should be punished.

Col. Breckinridge averred that Mrs. Hlaek burn's description of nearly every one of the material occurrences when their paths were crossed were wrong, but qualified his denials by the statements that she had contused times and places, had put constructions not intended upon his utterances, had attributed to him things said by Madeline l'ollard, but inserted a saving clause that she had no doubt honestly endeavored to give her recollection of events.

In further cross-examination Mr WiUou brought out the fact that in filling out the certificate of marriage of Mrs. Wing to Col. Breckinridge, it was made to appear that that marriage was the colonel's second, whereas it was really his third that he had asked Dr. l'axton not to make that marriage public, and that after his marriage with Mrs. Wing he stopped with her at the Hotel Logereau in New York, registering as William J. Campbell and wife.

Mr. Wilson unexpectedly finished his cross-examination in the early afternoon and Mr. Butterworth took the witness in hand. After repeating some of his former testimony till the judge bade him stop, the defendant was excused by his counsel. His tale was told and it took him four days to tell it

For days past, since the case reached the zenith of its sensationalism, crowds of men, b,:ys and women, many of them well dressed and respectable in appearance, have thronged the courthouse corridors, tin? sidewalks, even the street in front of the ottices of the attorneys waitiug for the principals to appear, elbowing for vantage points, bandying personal comments and making things generally disagreeable. Wednesday Judge Bradley's disgust at these facts showed itself, and he gave some of these people such a tongue lashing as has rarely been heard in a courtroom. After contracting to hold the courtroom spectators In check until their prey could get away he held the crowd at bay uutil he had told them that their conduct was characterised by indecency that they reminded him of buzzards around carrion and other things not pleasant for the record.

WASHINGTON, April ,V President Cleveland was saved from defeat Wednesday only by the votes of republican congressmen. In the house, only democrats voting, the seigniorage biil was passed over the veto by a twothirds majority, but it. was discovered that there was no quorum. On the second ballot the republicans voted and the bill failed to pass.

KnffllNh a Kent.

After considerable trouble in securing a quorum to vote, the house voted to unseat Mr. Hilborn (rep,, Cal.) and then passed a resolution declaring Mr. English, the democaatic contestant, entitled to the seat thus made vacant. Upon the announcement there was a burst of applause from tho democratic side, which was renewed when Mr. Knglish was escorted to the bar of the house and sworn in. ^cigiilnruce (till itrong-ht I j.

Mr. liland (dem., Mo.) then called up the seigniorage bill returned by the president without his approval, aud moved that it pass, the objections of the executive to the contrary notwithstanding.

Mr. Traccy (dem.. N. V.) raised the question of consideration against it and Mr. Bailey made the point of order that the constitution required the consideration of a bill returned with a veto and that the question of consideration therefore could act be raised against it. The speaker sustained tho point of order.

Mr. liland stated that on Saturday, at o'clock, lie would demand the previous question. From all quarters of the democratic side there seemed to bo a general desire to avoid conflict of opinion in debate and Mr. Bland's suggestion of three days' debute was met with a chorus of cries of: "Vote, votel"

Kemarkahlo Seem In Hit* Hons*.

Then followed one of tho most remarkable scenes witnessed in the house in years. Mr. Tracey. who was standing in a side aisle, said that as far as the democrats of the minority of tho committee on coinage, weights ami measures were concerned they were willing to take a vote immediately.

This statement was received with shouts of approval from the democratic side. Mr. Tracey went on to say, however, that he had not conferred with the republicans of the committee and suggested that he would like to havu the opinion of Mr. C. W. Stone, ol Pennsylvania, who made up the minori* ty report against the bill.

Favored l)elat.«.

Mr. Stone replied, after conferring a moment with those about him on the republican side, that the debate in the house when the seigniorage bill was passed had beeu so limited he was unwilling to enter into any agreement to close the debate at this time.

When he ceased speaking there wme great confusion on the floor. Members on both sides were conferring in groups. The speaker, with uplifted gavel, surveyed the house for a moment. Mr. Bland expressed a willingness to have the vote taken immediately. Mr. Reed, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Dingley and Mr. Stone were in earnest consultation to the left of the speaker's rostrum. As It subsequently appeared, they agreed that Mr. Dingley should make the opening argument for his side.

Ordered th«» (Coll Called.

Meantime no one addressed the chair, and the speaker slated the question to be on the motion to pass the bill, the president's objection to the contrary notwithstanding. "On this," said he, looking down upon the confusion on the floor, "the constitution requires that the vote shall be taken by yeas and nays." He hesitated. Still every one on the floor, engrossed with the programme in the coming debate, heeded him not "All those in fii"or will say yea," lie continued. "Contrary by the contrary sign." Again he paused. But no one addressing him. he added, with a bangol the gavel: "The clerk will call the roll." "Mr. Allen," began the clerk, fteptihllranw I'rotent.

There was a gasp of astonishment on tho republican side as they awakened to realize thai the roll call had begun. The democrats, who were anxious to see debate suppressed, were overjoyed. Amid a great uproar a dozen republicans jumped to their feet and clamored for recognition. The confusion was so great that the clerk got no f.irther than the first name. "Toe late, too late," shouted the democrats as Mr. Reed tried to make hi nisei! heard above the uproar. At last, by dint of hard pounding, a semblance ol quiet was restored.

Kced and the Speaker Clash.

"Mr. Speaker," said Mr. Reed, "my colleague, Mr. Dingley, was ready to address the house upon this question before the roll call began." "The gentleman, Mr. Dingley, made no such statement until after the first name on the roll had been called," said the speaker. Mr. Reed replied: "The re»won he did uot wbh bccansq th« getj.

tlemun Trom Missouri, Mr. Blttuil, was entitled to the floor, and I submit to the speaker and to the house that this 1B notable because my colleague was renay to address tho chair, and it he did not do so Ii was because in the confusion ihe first name on the roll was called before an opportunity was afforded lo the house to know what the situation waa. The discussion that was goin* on was in reference to an ar» ran,'enient for time for debate, aud before anybody had an opportunity to understand what the situation was the first name was called.",

The (Speaker Kxplaint.

"The house understands the circumstances. The prntleninn from Missouri Mr. Hlanrt) was recognized, whereupon some suggestion was macte as to an agreement between that gentleman and the gentleman from New York (Mr. Tracey). who called upon b»* gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Stone), There was a gonerat c«jll throughout the house of 'Vote, vote." whereupon, the agreement failing, the gentleman from

Missouri iMr. Hland) stated that he was willing to have the vote taken now, and no geutlo» man rose to address the chair."

A dozen gentlemen on the republican side protested, but the speaker disregarded them and continued: "Thn chair slated tho question, and slated that under the constitution the yeas and nays must bo entered upon the journal. Still no gentleman aroso to address the chair. The chair then directed the clerk to call the roll und the first name wns called. Then for the first time the chair hal an intimation that the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Dingley) desired to address the house."

Made Iteed Sit Down.

The explanation of the speaker waa not satisfactory. The republicans, led by Mr. Heed, were appealing for recognition amid shouts of "regular order" from the democratic side. The excitement was intense. The speaker cut Mr. Reed off in the midst of a remark by ordering the roll call continued. Mr. Reed persisted in his effort to speak, when Speaker Crisp ordered him to be seated. The gentleman from Maine sat down, but immediately arose and asked the speaker to bo heard. The speaker declined to hear him, but Mr. Reed insisted, when the chairman ordered him to sit down.

The uproar was terrific at this point and above the din Mr. Boutelle (rep., Me.) shouted: "I shall decline to cast my vote in such a condition of confusion as this."

Mr. Burrows attempted to address the chair, while Mr. Wilson (rep., Wash. cried: "Tyrann}', tyranny," but the speaker would not listen and ordered the clerk to proceed with the roll call.

Once or twice afterward Mr. Burrows (rep., Mich.) and Mr. Reed attempted to break in, but the speaker declared emphatically that he would not heat them that the roll call could not be in* terrupted for any purpose.

Two-Third* Agalfittt the 1'renident.

The republicans were beside them* selves with anger. They refused to vote on the first roll call. The antisilver democrats were in despair, as tho first roll call gave the silver men tho necssury two-thirds.

The vote stood yeas, ISO nays, 45. Republicans did not vote. There was no quorum preseut.

The Veto Suittlnfd.

Finally after a consultation the republicans agreed to vote and did vote on the second roll call. This turned the tide and upon the announcement of the vote it was found that the motion to pass the bill over the veto had beeu defeated—yeas, 144 nays, 110 the silver men lacking 74 of the necessary two-thirds. The house then adjourned.
