his wife, referred to in yesterdays STAR Is brought
in Philadelphia, that an attachment might issue
upon the household furniture OF his sister, Mrs,
Cassandra v. Johnston, at whose house their
Philadelphia reception was given. The bride

Johnston denies this charge. Mrs. Johnston also
says: "The bride was jealous from the fist OF

insisted that he should s.nd him away. Th,
Quarrels eliminated In Mr. Bangs leaving the
house, going to Philadelphia, and then 10 the
Sturtevant house, New York, when he wrote The

Wheeling correspondent Of the New York
World furnishes details of the desperate fight
which is said to have occurred on Monday near
Sisterville, Tyler county, West Va, between the
Italian and colored laborers preparing the road
bed for the Ohio River railroad. The colored men
were engaged in blasting rock, and, having pre-
pared blast warned the other laborers to seek
places OF safety The Italians were not notified In
time, and the fragments OF rock fell among them,
killing one instantly, fracturfng the skull OF
another and tnjurfng three others One Of
the two men who were killed had three
brothers among the Italian lab0rers, and
after their hrst paroxysm OF grief was over, they
became mfuriated at the colored men who had
nred the blast. declaring that they had warned
tue aborers OF their own ana left the Italians
TO their peril This feeling spread among their
countrymen, until finally an attack was made by
drew a razor to defend himself. Tho italian
gave Q peculiar cry In his native tongue, and in-
stantly the whole force made rush for the col
Ored men. A desperate encounter ensued. and the
Italians, armed with revolveTs stlettOs and picks
drove the cOlOred men from the neld. The COL
ored men ned into Ststerville, and 1t was within
the borders OF that peaceful village that the
blO0diest part OF the ARRAY occurred. Many were
driven into the river by their pursuers and though
Is supposed that number were drowned. HALF
dozen have been severely wounded No dead
bodies have been found, although the Italians
assert that they killed several of those engaged in
blasting. and are determined to massacre the rest
unless the col0Fed men are discharged.
