The Itahlus and negroes who are working
on the OhiC-riyor railroad at that point. \
large number OF Italians are employed i'm
the work OF preparing the roadbed, and
close by them party of negroes Is also at
work. Two OF The COlOred men were en-
ploycd in blasting rock, and when they
were ready TO discharge blast they warn
ed the other labOrcrs to seek places OF safe
tv. This the negroes All did, running 70 a
safe distance. The Italians were content
10 seek shelter behind rocks and trees, or
beneath TIE river bank near.
The charge, which was a heavy one,
loO,ened an immense mass of rock, and de-
tached pieces were blown high in the air.
one Of these. q sharp-cOrnered rock, weigh
ing perhaps twenty pounds, fell upon the
head Of one Of the Italians, who was behind
a ledge OF rock only few yards distant,
and be was instantly killed, his skull being
laid open and his head crushed in a sicken-
Ing manner.
Another Italian had his skull broken by
a piece OF stone which struck him on the
forehead. He lived an hour or so and suf-
fered intensely. Three others were more
OF less hurt by ilying rocks.
one OF the tWO men who were killed had
three brothers among the Italian laborers,
and after their first parOXysm OF grief was
over they became iniuriIted at the darkies
who had fred the blast, declaring that they
had warned the hborcrs OF their own race,
and left the Italians 10 their peril. This
feeling spread among their cOuntrymen
until finally an attack was made by one Of
them on negro. The latter drew q razor
TO defend himself. The Italian gave a pc
culiar cry in his native tongue, and III
stantly the whole force made rush for the
cOiOred men.
They were armed for the most part with
reyolyers, knives, and stillettos. though
some OF them used their picks, crowbars,
aud axes ~ weapons.
A desperate encounter ensued, the Itali-
ans fighting with Il determined effort to
clean out the darkies. The darkies, soon
observing that they were being butchered
by the Italians, lied IN every direction,
pursued by the bowling mob Of Italians,
who kept fiourishlng their knives and firing
their revolyers, tcrrorizing the darkics as
well a. the inhabitants.
Most OF the darkics made Decline for
Listery1le, and II was within the borders
OF that peaceful village that the bloodiest
part OF the aifray occurred. The Italians
fought the darkies up TO the river, and the
latter then became panic-stricken. They
dumped into the river yelling like madmen.

A Strange story.
4 SUPPOSED RUSSIAN PIER LIVING FOR YEARS
As A HERMIT NEAR THE SOLDIERS HOME.
TNoff,uaI popuI1fcop


A STANCE and interesting case has come
to light in this city in which, it is
said, nobleman IS involved. Many no
doubt have noticed in the early morning
walking close up to the curb III the line
OF the strcct-sweeperS Il man past middle
age. The man would walk along NUT
tering TO himself, and with stick
pronged at one end would push the dirt
aside, frequently STOPPING to Dick upsome-
thing, which he put IN his pocket. When
broad daylight arrived he was rarely seen,
and only the early riSers noticed him.
When he left the avenue he would turn TO
the northern part OF the city, going above
Boundary in a nOrtheaSterly direction. He
bad his abode in little hut about mile
this side OF the Soldiers Home.
He was known TO his neghborS, which
were few, as cold Tom.' his real name
being unknown. No one seemed TO know
ANYTHING about him. for he was there be-
fore they came, and, in fact, they troubled
themselves very little about him. He was
quiet, rarely speaking, and was never seen
to smile. About month ago he diSap-
pcarcd, and his neighbOrS missing him
began to make inquiries about him. On
Thursday last q number OF them broke into
bis house. and found that he had entirely
disappeared and left no traces OF his
whereabouts. \ small satchcl Of Russia
leather was found in a closet, and upon it
being opened a package OF letters was dis
closed.
The letters were from Russia, and bore
the address, "Vasa Szouvolf, city post
Office. Washington, d. c." while in one
corner was request to please hold until
called for. The contents OF the letters were
in Russian, but one in English spoke OF
.'Old Tom" rs the Count Pauroh, and IN
formed him that his father had long
since regretted what he had done, and
implored bis return home. The let
ter went on to say that the death of the
late Emperor had ended his sentence OF
Punishment, and he was at liberty to re-
turn. The letters are held bya Mr.. Wood
son, living near by, so in case they are
called for they can be found. The crime
for which the supposed peer was banished
i, not known. but the persons living near
the house he formerly occupied have an
nounced their intention Of finding out all
about il.

der for the killing Of his friend and COM
TaGe, Pictric. in May last. The men were
railroad laborcrs, and the murder was COM
mitted with an axe while Pietrie was
asleep. The prisoner was asked in the
usual manner whether he had ANYTHING 10
say before the Court imposed the SEN
teuce. which was interpreted by Miss
GARNER. The prisoner asked whether
he could have two months time
to enable his father 10 reach America
and 10 see him before the sentence was
carried into execution. The sentence OF
death had been written out by Judge
Meyers, who, after pronOuncing il, passed
the document to Miss GARNER. the inter-
prefer, who slowly and deliberately trans
lated the same, the prisoner all the while
keeping his eyes intcntly fixed upon
her. During the prOnouncing Of the SEN
tencc. especially while repeating the words
" When you shall be taken from the
jail and hung hy the neck until
you are dead" il was with great
difficulty that his Honor, Judge Meyers,
could control his emotions. Deep silence
prevailed in the courtroom and the audi
ence was yiSlbly impressed with the awful
Solcmnity Of the occasion The prisoner
appeared TO be greatly affected also. and
moved his head from side TO side rs Miss
GARNER translated the sentence. Judge
Meyers said 10 SabatO that the Governor
would fix the day and would no doubt have
regard for the reasonable wish Of the pris-
oner i'm reference to having execution of the
sentence suspended until his father could
come. While descending the stairs in the
courthouse in the custody OF the sheriff a
little boy called the sheril7s attention to The
fact that blood was trickling down AlcXln-
der's neck. In his hand was found piece
Of sharp iron two and one half inches long,
which had for handle a small broken cot
tOn-spool. He had attempted to take his
own life to cheat the gallOwS. He was di,-
armed and returned 10 his cell.
