T Desperate Strikers Attack the Morewood Plant. The Entire Coke Region Arming for the Fray. Nearly One Hundred Men Killed and Injured. All the Dead are Unnaturalized Citizens. Hungarians and Slavs Fight Like Fiends. Terrible Execution Done with Winchesters. An Oath ot Vengeance Taken Against the Guards. Two Regiments of Militia Ordered to the Scerle. A. Still More Bloody Battle Seriously Apprehended. Mt. Pleasant, Pa., April 2. Ominous signs of the gathering of a storm in the coke region have been observed by experienced strikers here for some time, and at 2 o'clock this morning, tliey focused and burst with eudden fury at the Morewood plant, which has proved such a bone of contention between the strikers and their employers. The fight was brief and deadly. Two rounds of cartridges were fired by a band of sixty-five guards and seven of the charging mob of strikers fell dead, while at least forty others were wounded, how badly cannot be definitely stated, as they were taken away by their companions. The strikers killed instantly by the fire were: CRESZO i3I'r.O, of Tarrs, shot through the lreat. JOHN FCDORA of Standard, single, shot throi gi the brum. ANiOXIO MzT, Tole, eingle, of Standard works, shot thro'in i the head. JACOB SCI I L OA? KEY, Tele, of Tarrs, hot through the brain, married, wife in Poland. JAMES raOCIITE, Tola, eins'-e, shot through the head. VALENTINE ZEIPEL. Slav, of Donnelly, ingie, inoc through ttie jugular. PAUL DO HAS SIS, bUr, of Standard, ihot In the hea), single. The at ack on the Morewood plant was well planned and conceived and headed by men determined evidently to intimidate the men working there, once for all. At 12 o'clock small bodies of stikers began to gather on the hills. As usual, during a raid, they were armed with revolvers, stones, iron bars and every conceivable weapon obtainable. ... Headed by their drum corps, they inarched first to the Standard works, where they deliberately destroyed both telephone and telegraph wires, so that word of their corning could not be pent to Morewood. While at tha "standard works, incidentally destroying anything moveable that they might find, the' strikers created ail the noise possible from the surrounding hills, intending to apprise those of their fellow-strikers in the vicinity of their intentions of raid. Their march to the Standard works had bren but a helter-skelter a:'iiirf each man of the 500 in line merely making all the noise yossib:e in order to increase their number for the more desperate raid on the Moorewood work, where it was known sixtyfive guards had been placed, with orders to fire if necessary. Some time after 2 o'clock this morning the guards at the Morewood heard from the Standard that a raid was imminent. The few frightened men left at the Staudard had plucked up courage enough to repair the wires, and the warning reached the Morewood plant none too soon. As the noiy band of strikers, now numbering fully 1,-00 meu, approached that plant their outcries ceased, their drum corps was silenced and the ugiy crowd gathered in a bunch on the black hills overlooking the plant for a few moment.-' parley before attacking a plant they knew to be well guarded by determined men. There was a hesitancy, but the fact that tbey were twenty to one Btrong encouraged the strikers and they quietly separated, one large detachment advancing on the works by the main road, while theothers scattered over the brows of the hid, and shortly after 3 o'clock, at a given signal, all moved down on the works. .The niaht was of inky darkness, but the guards were apprised of the movements of the attacking party by contused mutterings in a foreign tongue or6ubdued orders from the leaders. Under the orders of Capt. Loar the sixty-five guards stood quietly in line before the works, their Winchesters Lt-acefully "at rest," Suddenly a break was made by the advancing mob toward the fences of the company. A stern order to halt was given, but the only attention it received was the ringof thre shots by members of the mob, which whistled a warning close to the heads of the impassive guards, each one of whom was wed drilled and was simply there to obey orders. After the shots were fired by "the strikers they turned and made a dash toward the stables of the company. Without firing a shot the guards were ordered to follow and the command again jriven the strikes to halt. They only retreated further down tho road and answered the order with yells and threats. Again was the command given and again came the mocking answer, and the order to fire was given by Capt. Loar. The volleys from the Winchesters were weli directed, and but a few rounds were necessary to drive the frightened rioters back into the hilis, wfure hundreds of their fellow strikers had gathered in anticipation of assisting in the raid, but not In a battle with such a determined band of guards. The firing on both Bides continued hardly three minutes. The volleys from the guards had terrible effect on the compact mass of strikers, while the latter made an attempt to return the fire with what few weapons they possessed, but without success. The dead were left lying in the road, wbi'e the wounded, estimated at between forty and fifty, were either assisted or bodily carried away into the hills by their fellows. All day the entire coke region has presented scenes of the wildest excitement. The foreign element especially has been driven frantic by this woeful result to tho anticipated victorious rai 1 on the Prick works at Morewood. Always turbulent, sullen and ready for desperate measure, they are not one whit cowed by the dath of sevral of their nnmber, while they have edulously concealed in their homes thoe of their number who were wounded, many, no doubt, onto dath. Anathemas, loud and dsep, have been beard on every

side all day. Word has been sent by secret means all over the region tht "their comrade were fired upon and trio wed down by the guards without provocation and deadly vengenace on each and every member of the land of sixty-five men has been sworn to. This all comes from the foreign element. It will be noticed that all the men killed bore foreign names and it is a fact that not one of them was a naturalized citizen of this country. It is al.o supposed the many wounded were also forepn, and this explains the deep sentiment expressed in everv foreign face in the re.'ion.- toniirht. The Slavs and Hungarians were almost fearless, the deputies say. Not one was struck in the back, but all bore mark of lmili'ts in the face, indicating that they died lighting with what poor weapons they possessed. Thousands of strikers and their friends poured into this nlace from all over the region to have a look at the dead and perhaps hear what the living have to bay. As darkness fe l tonight amidst a miserable rain, the foreigners begun to draw away in knots, and the night after the riot lowered amidst a great fear of what might happen before another dawn. .Late tonight word was received here that two more men concerned in the liot had died iu strikers' houses near the Morewood works, where they had been dragged by their fellow rioters. Tiieir names could not be learned, but it is known that one ws an Knglish-speakmg foreigner and probably the only one injured who was a citizen. The-e two deaths make nine in all that are known as the result of the firing of the guards, but there is no doubt others are either dead

or m a critical condition, as the guards . naa oruers to nre to kiu una evidently did so. Reports late tonight from all over the region indicate a fearfully damrerous and excited condition of alfairs and the word that the military was soon to be on guard was received by the labor officials and coke operator alike with the liveliest evidence of sa:is.action. At Leisenrir.gh Constable Campbell attempted to arrest John Luska, a Italian, for complicity in the bomb-throwing that occurred there Monday. Lushka fierceiy resisted and called out in his native tongue for rdd. A fellow-countryman who wag on the outside of the office where Lushka had been trapped g ive the alarm and in a few moments there was a howling mob of foreigners surrounding the place, j Lushka leaped through the office window, i carrying with him a pair of handcuffs. 1 Several shots were fired after him, but he escaped. Tonight the warrant was placed in the the hands of SheritF McCormick, and with a large posse of men, he has started ' for I.ei'-enring to make the arrest. Lushka and his companions are armed and a; fight will certainly follow, unless the man ; is surprised. Labor officials denr that the men at

Lour wni the leader of the guards who tired on the men and the mob stands ready to tear his house down over his head. Fortunately frhim. Lour has disappeared. He left his home and the city soon after the shooting at Morewood and has not been since. Loar is the man who Va-5 burned fn efliey the other day and it is conceded his departure was we'd advised if not brave. An astonishing 6tory is toM tonight bra striker named Dunn, who was among the leaders of the riot. He said: "I was ! with the bodv of men on the bridge, and stopped a moment to light my cigar. There is no doubt that rumors of bombs had fired the minds of the guards, for they took the lighting of my cigar as portending something dangerous. The guards then fired directly towards the point where I stood and the men fell ad around me. We tied instantly, only leaving men enough to stand by our fallen comrades, some twenty in all. After the shooting I heard tho man in command of the guards exclaim: 'Don't be too quick.'" Another statement made was that Capt. Loar paid he was ordered to fire by Deputy Sherilf McConuell. The fact is tonight some verv strange stories are told on both sides of the rioting gang in regard to the provocation offered the guards before the latter fired. They will have an opportunity to repeat them, however, in court, as the guards are being arrested as rapidly as possible. At least six thousand men are in the vicinity of Mount rleasant tonight and the feeling generated by the appearance ctthe several companies of the Eighteenth and tenth regiments tonight is one of security, both amone the strikers and citizens. The foreign ele ment, however, is very uneasy and there is very plain talk hero iwnong some of their representative men that a hiirher power than the stato will be called in.

their mother countries may have something to say a to their treatment by guards, whom they 6ay all belonged to the is. P. G., captained by Mr. Loar. It is imnopsible to get the operators' or guards' side of the situation, as the guards are either invisible or under arrest, and the operators say nothing except that the firing was justified. But one thiug is plain to their .minds the strikers surrounded Morewood this morning from no pacific m-.'tive. CV roner Wakefield will hold an inquest earlyin the mcrning. Deputy SherPt McConnell insists Loar gave the order to fire, which the latter as strenuously denies. Mt. Pleasant, April 4. The situation in tha coke regions has not materially changed within the last twenty-four hours. The troops have chargs of the coal companies' property and the feeling prevails that as long as the militia remains, there will be no more lawlessness. The soldiers can't stay always, however, and it is feared that unless the strike is settled before they ara called home the depredations will be renewed just as soon as their backs are turned. Tho feeling among the strikers is intensely bitter, but they are careful to commit no overt act and "content themselves with scowling at the militia and muttering in unintelligible tongues. Some apprehensions are felt that an outbreak will occur at the funeral of the victims this afternoon. Strikers are massing at Scottdale and the largest demonstration ever held in the coke country is expected. The funeral will start from Mt. Pleasant at

i 2:30 and the cortege will reach Scottdale i about an hour and a half later. The ! march to the catholic cemet?ry will then ,,e takpn at,tl not le!!a than ten lhou. up sand coke workers will follow the bodies to the grave. The Kev. Fathers Lambing and Smiegle will conduct tho services. The bodies will be buried in a long trench which wits dug this morning. I very precaution has been taken to prevent trouble. The saloons have been closed for the day and live companies of the Kighteenth regiment, under command of CoL Smith, are now on the ground. Yesterday and this morning thousands of people viewed the bodies of the men who were shot at Moorewood. They lay in the carriage house at Zimmerman's undertaking establishment. They were stretched out side by eido on a long platform around which the crowd surged in its eagerness to get a glimpse of the dead men. Each of the doad men was dressed in a robe of brown matt-rial with a white collar, neck tie and shirt front showing j unuer the chin. They are all young men and with the exception of Cressango liinero, the Italian, and Valentine Zindle, they will be buried at Scottdale tomorrow by the comI pany in the catholic cemetery at that j piace. With the exception of Binero and ! Ki-t all of the dead wore ghastly grins that seemed to awe the spectators. The nntnr'il rl!nnr frnnrl!nn rf tlio Henri were entwined the beads upon which they had been accustomed to repeat their prayers. From 7 o'clock yesterday morning until 10 o'clock today an unbro'ken line of foreigners, about one in ten of whom could, speak English, filed around the bier upon which the dead lay. Sobs a:id groans were heard on every side and crowds collected about the clothing which the victims had 1 st worn, and judging from their actions th-y will prove vipers to the men who did the shooting. It is well know n among the citizens that the lives of Capt. ar and hisdeputies would be in jeopar ly should the militia be withdrawn. The foreigners are excited to a degree bordering on frenzy and although they are keeping all demonstrations within the pale of the law. there is no doubt that they are determined to wreak vengeanceeventually on the people who are responsible for the death of their countrymen. The scene in the. morgue was one that is not often witnessed. Of tho thousands who viewed the remains scarcely a man came in whose countenance was not drawn and scowling as he gazed on the work of the ritles, and hundreds of women vented their anger and anguish in terms that could net be mistaken. They were minern, cokers and' their wives. The latter are more revengeful, if anything, than their liege lord., and are considered more dangerous antagonists. The physical characteristics of all were short, stout statures, square faces, firm jaws, Fmall eyes, heavy forehe-K high cheek bone and forbidding countenance'. Fr.vate advices from Scottdale were rereived late last night to the effect that serious trouble would follow the funeral this afternoon. Orders were sent to take every precaution to prevent trouble, and Gen." Wiley and Adjt. McClelland started at once for that place. It is very quiet here today. The streets are deserted, most of the Hungarians having quietly departed for iScottdal-3 during the night. The hilis surrounding are covered w th snow and not a sou! is to be 6een, with the exception of the sentinels who pace to and fro. The coke company is not making any eCo:t here to get men to fill the places of strikers as yet. They keep the pumps going and have enough men to run the engine and boilers and keep the mine in good condition. One peculiar feature of the whole situation is that the men have been out of work for over a mont h, and they still peeni to have considerable monev, and from outward appearances are not sulfering. All seem to be keeping sober. In tact not one of them has been seen on ! the street in an intoxicated condition. j From the bankers it is learned that the foreign element, which constitutes 75 or SO per cent, of the workers of the region now etriV.ing. has more or less funds. In the Mt. rieaant bank there is a large list of depositors whose savings range from S'iO to . ?,0 ). Of this money very little has been withdrawn. How these peop e live without drawing money is ditticul; for oral Hood s Sarsaparilla will cure, when In th power of medicine, scrofula, salt rheum, sores, boils, pimples, all humors, dypcpsia, biliousness, sick headache, Indigestion, general debility, catarrh, rheumatism, kidney and hver complaints, and all diseases or affections arisins from impure blood or low coudition of the Fystcm.

Americans to understand, yet such are the facts. T' those who have no money, and they appear to be in trie minority, the labor organizations are furnishing from 2 to $3.60 per week. Iteeems, therefore, that the claims of the labor leaders that the 6trike can be continued for Several mosths are not far from wrong. There is no longer any doubt that the strike will be continued indefinitely and with a bitterness never before experienced in a strike. It is not beyond probability tfat if the strikers find that they are debarred from reaching non-union men at the coke works secret methods of securing themtoetop work will be adopted. Some of the men at work have been heard t express such fears. An intelligent Hungarian in speaking of their future action said : "We will not hold any meeting until tomorrow afternoon, and then we will decd on what to do. There is only on thing certain and that is that the company cannot get any fort-igners to come here to take our places, as we have notified all the Italians and liuns in the country of the trouble." MILITIA CALLED OUT.

Governor PattUon Art Promptly to Avert Further KIoodnhet. Uahrisburg, Pa., April 2. There was a sudden summoning of Governor Pattison's cabinet today to consider tha situation in the we tern coke region. Sheriff Clawson of Westmoreland county telegraohed the particulars of this morning's attack on the works of Frick & Co., and stated that from eight to twelve men were kil ed. He said he must have the mi ilia at once. In a collision between the deputies and the strikers seven had been kilknl and twentyone wounded. The sheriff said: ''Crowds of smrry strikers are a.semblini; throughout the region and threaten rvUliation. I have exhausted my power in the endeavor to preserve peace without c;ct." Later the sheriff telegraphed that the deputies were surrounded and four more strikers killed. Col. Chambers McKibbin, inspector general of the national cuard, telegraphed from Pittsburg confirming the sheriff's messages and adding that "our services may be needed." A committee of Westmoreland citizens headed by Senator iiulf wired Gov. Pattison to thu effect that the situation i jrrave; that crowds are as8 'Uibling for retaliation and that tuey believe the mditary jKwer should be exercised at once to prevent further loss of life. , Governor Pattison asked Sheriff Clawson for farther particulars and also te'egraphed Col. AexanderC. Hawkins of the Tenth regiment, N. G. P.: PjI your reff'ment under arms and move at once with amm unition to the support of the authorities hi Wetm(re!and county at Mt. Pleasant, maintain tho peace, protect all pernone in tlit-ir rights under the constitution and lawi of the state, and communicate with me. Col. Morton II. .Smith of the Eighteenth regimtnt at Pittsburg was also ordered to put his command under arms at once and await furth r orders. lie was also directed to communicate with Col. Hawkins. Governor Pattison alo nt a te egram to Briir.-Gtn. Wiley of the second brigade at Franklin infonuiij him of the action with reference to the Tenth ami Eighteenth regiments and ordering him to assume command and report particulars. Governor Pattison has been in constant communication with the civil and n ta'y authorities in the coke region today. Following is a synopsis' of the later telegrams received and tnt from the executive department : Col. Chambers McKibbin, inspectorgeneral N. G. P., wires Private Secretary Taieas follows: Pittsbcku. Pa., April 2. Mr. Frick hns the following from -their reprcf equtire in the region: "1 think t'ure is trent dcg-r at iiorewood.

Ri -harJ Coulter and the Greensburg commiUoe of c.tizena that ho bad ordered" troops to the support of the sheriff. Inspector-General Mclvibben wires from Pit'sburg that Adjutant-General MeCiellan is in Chicago, where he hai forwarded dispatches. . Col. Norman iSmith sent the following telegram to Governor Pattison this afternoon: Your orders received. The regiment is now assembled. Will communicate wiiti lloskins. Shall I arrauge for my commissary supplies? In response, the governor directed Col. Smith to arrange for his commissary supplie. Lieut. Col. James B. Streeter of the Tenth regiment wired from Washing. ton, Pa.: liars sent your telegram to Col. ITawkins by special messenger. Have ordered eleren companies to assemble at once at their armories. Later this afternoon Inspector-Gen. McKibben wired Governor Pattison as fo lows: Much excitement in coks region. Tenth regiment companies scattered. Eighteenth rapidly eett ng under anus. Coke operators thiuk the pretence of troops will end disorder. Hare repeated telegram to McClel'an at Chicago. Am anxious to do anjthinr I can until the arrival of the adjutant general. Brig. -Gen. Wiley sent this dispatch: I will proceed at once to Westmoreland county. Will assume command and keep you fully informed of the situation. Adit.-Gen. McClel an telegraphs from Chicago that he wi 1 arrive in Pittsburg at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. He received instructions at Fort Wayne, Ind., tonigl Governor Pattison's instructions we ht. ere for the adjtntant general to report at Morewood and telegraph upon his arrival. Col. Hawkins of the Tenth regiment wired this evening that his companies are all under arms and will concentrate at Pittsburgh as soon as possible. Sherilf Clawson telegraphed from Greensburg about 6 o'clock this jnorning as follows: Af airs at Mt. I lea:ant alarming. Ten h regInvnt cannot be n emlded leiore luoruin. Ket:er order Eighteenth ng.ment at once by tp ciai tram. In response to this telejrram Governor Pattison ordered the Eighteenth regiment to report to SheriH' Clawson at once, and Col. i?:nith replied that he would move as soon as the train wan made ready. Inspector-General Chambers McKibben wired Private .Secretary Tate this evening that "things were more serious, as deputy sheritis are deserting." About 7 o'clock this evening this telegram was received from Gen. Wiley at PitUburg: Arrived here a momentngo. The Eighteenth regiment ill leave at 8:li for Mt. Pleasant. A consignment of 20,O00Jround3 of ammunition was sent by express to Greensburg this afternoon and wid bo available on the arrival of the troops. THE STRIKERS MOVE. Another Advance on Morewood nnd the Mllltlit Cull'rt Out. Pittsbcbg, April 3. Late dispatches tonight indicate a sudden and unexpected movement of strikers toward Morewood. The guard at that place has been trebled, and it is hardly considered probabie that the strikers would consider auy raid in view of the fact that troops are generally centered there. Tonight Col. Hawkins hurriedly issued orders at Mt. Pleasant, gathered up five of

his companies and haeti v marchd for the place. He refused to give his destination, which was either Morewood cr Scottdale, where the funeral of the rioters are to take place. The region is again in a ferment over the reports of the anticipated Morewood raid. 11. C. Frick was interviewed in Pittsburg tonight, but had littlo to say, except that no more of his plants had been started umler supervision of guards and that he was awaiting developments. Officers of the McClure coke company lay the entire blame on Vice-President Penna and Master work man Wise, whom they say worked their men up by ill-advised speeches. MR. FRICK'S VERSION.

The Xforetjnrrs Are Only Toole in the Hands of Otl'tra. Pittsburg, April 4. II. C. Frick made a etatem3nt today in reply to an interview with miners' ex-Secretary Watchorn, in which the latter charged Frick with having imported thousands of foreigners, promising them a sort of Utopia, Mr. Frick says: "I am ready to state that neither myself nor our company nor any one on its behalf, direct'y or indirectly assisted, procured or requested any man to emigrate to this country, and if Mr. "Watehorn or any of his associates challenges this statement in any particular, we are prepared for the fullest examination. "Although the violence committed in the vicinity of our works has been mainly bj- foreigners, the public knows that thse people are si' ply the tools working out the p ans of others. Thepiannowa lop ed of using thee men to accomplish their works of violence is but a repetition of former acts. Iu every strike in the coke region thse are the men that have been ustd, and found to be pliant tools whenever violence is to be done. The public should not allow itself to be blinded to the r al authors of the present trouble. The controvert is now liot one betwt en our company and its employes but is between the lawful authority of our comimonwealth and a mob of irrespon.-ible men in the hands of cuuningdemagoguee. This breach of the peace and violation of the .'aw of our land is not the result of a sudden ruidi of uncontrol able passion, but is the result of a deep laid scheme and well planned attempt to override the authority of our state. ''Not the for -igners, who are advised that their livingdepends upon their resort to violence, are to blame for this, but those who give that advice are culpable. They have called meetings of these foreigners and have incited them by incendiary speech, well knowing that when excited they will resort to violence and then try to exonerate themselves by saying that this foreign eiement has gotten beyond their control. It needs no argument to show that this violence is the result of such acts and the public press and the lawful authority of our se should fix on them the responsibility, rather than upon the deluded foreigners." AT PITTSBURG. Ponxlbllity of Ftirti -r International Compiicailoiik. Pittsburg, April 2. The news of the riot at Morewood and the subsequent order from the tovernor calling out the Tenth and Eighteenth regiments created intense excitement in this city. The order from Governor Pattison was received at noon and by 2 o'clock the Eighteenth regiment was prepared for marching orders. Tho latter were received about G o'clock this evening and an hour later the full regini'-'it, under command of Col. Norman mith, started for the scene of today's riot. Two companies of the Tenth regiment also accompanied Col. Smith. Mr. H. C. Frick, the owner of the Morewood plaut and the largest coke operator in the country, was seen this afternoon aud in an interview said: "We placed our men and property in the bands of lawful authorities for protection. The sheriff in the Morewood case has done his duty; the governor is doing his. This is no quarrel about wages, but only whether our men working are to be shot down at mi 1 night and our property destroyed by rioters". The authorities rnut settle this, and we will know whether mobs or law is to rule." As the men killed were all unnaturalized foreigners, the possibility of international con plications aruing were freely discussed. Austrian Consul Max t-ham-berg, of this city, received a telegram this afternoon informing him that several of the miners killed viere subjects of the Austrian government. He replied that he would investigate the matter, but retused to say anything fgrther. PERSONAL. SPITS. Vice-President Ptnun Makes Some Senen. tionnl Chircc Pittsburg, Pa., April 2. Vice-President Penna and Executive Committeeman Hays of the united mine-workers arrived here tonight and went into conference with members of tha order. Mr. Penna, iu speakine of what ho learned today at the scene of the riot, said: "When our evidence is devesoped Americans will stand aghast. Personal spite is respons.ble for the occurrence.

ing about of the strikers is to strengthen weak-kneed ones and for moral effect on non-uniou men. It would be useless for the strikers to march about after the men had gone into the mines. In my opinion the men had no intention of committing an overt at Mrs. Mary lint ko, who lives about fifty feet from the scene of the riot, told me this: As the men came down the road and got nearly opposite the store OT'e of the strikers fin-d a revolver in the air. The strikers went on down the road to the bridire. A guard shouted to the men: 'Stop!' and without giving the mr n time to come to a stand some one in charge gave the ordtr to fire. The order was obeyed, and one of the guards shouted:" 'Johnny, what are you doing?' and repeated this." THE FUNERAL. Eight Thomtnrt People Attrn1 the niontec O ilet Preval n. CereScottq a le, Pa., April 3. All is reported I a -.1 -1 quiet in the coke regions ton ght with the exception of a stir in Scottdale caused by the centering there of strikers to attend the funeral of seven of the ten victims who are lobe buried in the catholic cemetery there in a long trench already prepared to receive them. Strikers are pathered here already in such great numbers it will hardly be possible to houeo them all and by tomorrowafternoon 10,000 men will be present at the funerals which will be conducted by the Itev. Fathers Lambing and Sneib'e. A special train has ju6t brought in 700 armed militia from Mt. Pleasant und other companies will be here in tha morning, as trouble is feared from the great body of strikers when they see their fellow-strikers buried who, they say, were simply murdered. Mayor Fetts of Scottdale has ordered that all saloons must close tomorrow and a strong force of special polvemen will also be sworn in to assist iu preBervinpr oruer. There are some ugly reports coming in from Mt. Pleasant in regard to the actions of some members of the militia. This aft-rnoon a body of them entered a store neionging to a crirpie nameu ian vomers, Thev made some demands of the Dropri etor which he refused, whereupon they broke his windows in'o pieces and splintered li is back door into fragments with their bayonets. One of the guards became so hilarious that a striker named Kelly s'ruek him over the head with a pick-handle inflicting sn ugly cash. The different captains have been apprised of their actions and they promisa to take steps to discharge tha unruly members. The arrest of the deputies on the charges ef the labor ollicials for felonious shooting continues this afternoon. Officer (Jav arrested a deputy named Seaman at Leisiner ning. Fayette county, and teok him to Greensburg. Dr. Myer-, of Mt. Pleasant, stated this evening that the list of wounded by the Morewood riot of yesterday will reach fully thirty. He says that he is treating at least twenty but does not deem it prudent to disclose their names. It is reported here this evening that a striker died at Tarrs today, supposed to have been a victim of the Morewood riot. The fami'y of General Manager Ramsey have not yet recovered from the fright thev received on the night of the riot, and guard ar still set or tlie house. The Hungarians announced that they would burn the bou?e onjthcir way to Morewood and in Mr. Ramsey's absence the only proteit;on the fauiilv had was that atibrded by his son William and a friend. Armed with only a Winchester and a revolver they feeverai times drove armed strikers from the grounds and wen obliged to witch all night before reinforced by other guards. Cd. Hawkins, in command of the Tenth regiment, says so far as bis inveRtiga'ions go, Capt. Loar was perfectly justified in tiring on the strikers at Morewood and that he should stronglv advise the militia to be kept in the regions until the 6trike is over and the region quiet. Tonight the Rev. Father Lambing of tha ScotdaU catholic church, who is great'y beloved and respected and has a strong influence over the strikers, issued an appeal to the region. He says: "It is time tor all parties to reflect. If not, and bloodshed has come 60 soon, how will it end? There is so much hatred on both sides it behooves those who can do so to call a halt ami stop the rash, senseless talk that has reallv caused al the trouble. If the saloons of the reirion had be-'n closed as well as the armories of the government opened a long step would have been taken toward the restoration of order. The men cannot be replaced or displaced, and the vast majority must remain in the region. lie nas a claim to be heard una some lnuuenco ior gtxxi, anu auvis.es a pea'.-eiui, amicable settlement before the trouble i J .l.s I..

Pieasnnt at2::52 and arrived here at3:2J. The train was. composed of six coaches and packed full, and standing room was at a prsmium on the platforms. The bodies were taken off the train at the depot and placed in large road wajrons. The funeral cortege did not move until the reaular train arrived at 3:87. The 'argt public square was not spacious enough to hold the great crowds of peotde, an 1 the delegations that arr ved on regular trains had to form on Piltsi)urg-6t. and Broadway. The foieign element did not take kindly to the road wa,jon8 being used as hearses to bear ttie remains of their countrymen to their last resting p ace, and the coffins were taken out and six of them were carried to the cemetery, a distanco of on mil?. The seventh was placed in a hearse. -The proce sion moved af 4 o'clock, headed by the Standard Miners' cornet and Scottdale bands, both of which played the dead-march the entire distance. There were fully eight thousand people at the depot but scarcely half this number went to the cemetery, and a large najority of thone that did follow the remains were Pob'S, Slavs and Hungarians. American flags were coni-picaously absent, and a number of the delegates carried banners, the workme n nearly all wore badges and crape, and when the coffins were lowered into the larga trench which was twelve feet long and seven feet wid a number of the workmen threw their badges and crape on the coffins. Father limbing and Father Schemigle conduced tho funeral services according to the rites of the catholic church, which were eimple but impressive. After the rervices the Rev. Mr. Schemigle delivered t.u address in the Polish language, in

Lying on a cot at the county hospital imploring the physicians to help him is a patient whose malady has baffled the skill of the entire medical staff of the institution and many physicians, surgeons and specialists in nervous 1 tus ho have been called intodia?- - r nose it. The patient is Charles Weeks, an expert accountant, who was admitted to the hos- ! pital for treatment three months ago. He had fallen from the top of a car and hurt his head which, however, had healed. When admitted he was apparently in fairj ly t0od health, but forap-cuhar atffici tion. His who e system seemea to nave a I peculiar aversion to the touch of a human . . m being. A persons hand laid upon any portion of his anatomy sent a thrill through him like that produced by an dectric 6hock. He could not perform his laily work because oi the unavoidable contact wi h peotde, pardculariy in street cars. Since Weeks has been iu the hospital score of experts in n rvous diseases wave been attracted to the hospital by reason of the strange malady, but they have a'd come away uonpluss-'d. "A FOOL'S QUESTIONS." Ex-Preilitent CIe.aii I Much Pirated with l!ic ew Tariff P'ltnpklec Bloomingtox, 111., April 3. Mr. O. Shelton of this city has just received the following letter from ex-President Cleveland, dated March 29: Pear Sir I have read the pamphlet you sent ine entit'el "A Fooi'a Question act Answer," and I like it very much. I think the thing we reed is the timphet statement possible ot the operation of the taritl lw. and I think a great deal of time ii wante 1 in learned and perplexing talk and statistics which go over people's heads or confuse them. Our people are ttie inott intelligent in the world, but they are busy and active. In the race cf maintenance they have not bad the opportunity to study political question, nor will they take the time to solve for themelves ictricrte problems. They are entitled to plain, simple talk. Very truly yocr. Okover Cleveland. The pamphlet referred to is written ia the simple language ol an uneducated farmer, and aims to deal wi:h a few tariff1 facts in a plain way , without any attempt at fine writing.
