TrouhI o1ne ItaIlans-

ELKToN, Md, July 26.--Wiliiam G..
Smith, Of the firm Of Battles ~ Smith,
contractors, of the Philadelphia exten.
sion Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
near Mechanics Valley, on the Little
North East Creek, about four miles
from Elkton, came to this place TO day
about 2 o'clock to consult the Sherin
and States attorney regarding riot
GUS demonstration of Italian laborers,
about $50 of whom were employed by
the firm. N
Mr.. Smith said the Italians had quit
work and demanded the wages due
them from the first Of the month to this
date, which the Arm refused to pay.
He stated that about noon he started
out in his carriage, when he was stop.
ped on the road by one Of the Italians,
who seized the bridal Of his horse and
threatened to kill him. Mr.. Smith
drew HIS revolver and made his escape,
only to be stopped again and In q few
moments by two other Italians, from
whom he also escaped.
Shortly after the whole body gave
chase to Mr.. Smith, who putting the whip
to his horse and firing a parting shot,
| made the best of his way to Elkton. A
few moments after Mr.. Smith told his
story, news came here that the Italians
had killed Robert Battles, the other
member Of the firm. The Sheriff sum-
moned q posse and went TO the spot,
where they found Battles in o house in
which he had taken refuge from the
riotors. They had wrested his gun
from him, and would undoubtedly
have killed him If assistance had moi
arrived in time. The rinEleaders in
the riot we're arrested and brought te
this place.
The trouble was caused by the dis
charge of the foreman at the quarry
whom the Italians demanded should
be reinstated, and when the contractor
refused to comply with their demand
they quit work.

nasorderIy Conduct.

There was considerable noise and diss
turbapca along the coast" last Sat
urday night, and a party of colored
mer. all Of whom were under the in
tluencs of liquor, engaged in political
1i .cussion at Front and Market streets.
Officer Cannon ordered them to dis
nerse. when one of the number became
very insolent, and the officer seized him
with the intention of taking him 10 the
hall.
He was followed by crowd of excl
ted colored men, many of whom were
under the influence of liquor, and the
prisoner, urged by his friends, made q
desnerate resistance. The officer still
retained his hold, when the prisoner
handed his pocket book to a man in the
rear. aud when the officer demanded
its return. he passed it to another, and
declared that he hadn't it. Officer
Cannon then took hold of him, with the
the remark =" Well,I I'll take you along
too" when the fellow pulled back,
and a colored man forced his way
through towards the officer, and
drawing blackjack aimed
murderous blow at his head, while
| he. engaged as he was with his prison
ers, knew nothing Of the Impending
danger. ..,
A reporter of the REPUBLICAN,, who
| had been attracted to the scene, anu
was at the time alongside of the officer,
saw the mans movements, ana throw
| ing up his right arm partly broke the
force of the blow.
The second man, whom the officer had
arrested, made his escape, aud the otnei
prisoner was handed over TO the repor'
ter. who landed him in the hall.
officer Cannon then drew his pistol,
but refrained from shooting OF the man
who had struck him, on account OF ths
crowd. He, however, pursued nun, aSaG anG

Something for WOrk1ngmen.

The following, from last Saturday
evenings Washington Star, will no
doubt be read W ith interest by Ameri-
can mechanics and laborers
The bill to prevent the importation
of foreign labor to this country under
contract, which passed the House
during last session, failed to secure con-
sideration in the Senate. There exists,
consequently, nothing to prevent the
continuance of this trade, and firm
In this city has prepared to embark In
the business, with view of supplant-
ing American labor with workmen
from Europe.
The scheme Is to import Welsh and
Italian laborers to work under contract
ut low wages. w. II. Main, real es.
tate agent, is at the head Of the con-
cern, and his agents are in Europe
making arrangements for the shipping
of laborers to this country. They pro-
DOSE to establish a 1" Labor exchange !"
ut. the St. Charles hotel, kept by q
brother of w. X. Main, not far from
the Capitol. The plan Is to keep .
number Of laborers and domestics Of all
kinds to meet all demands, and to re-
plenish the stock by fresh shipments
as they are needed. The managers will
issue circulars to contractors all over
the country, Offering to give them a
superior class OF labor at low rates Of
wages. They will not, Mr.. Main says,
confine themselves to common labor
ers, bat will get skilled workmen who
will be willing to work for low wages
to get foothold In this country.
Mr.. Mains chief associate in this en-
terprise is said to be a German named
Kroth, formely an itinerant preacher.
He has now gone to Europe, where he
will preach to the laborers of the ad-
vantages to be derived from coming to
this country. To the skilled laborer
they will offer special inducements,
promising them permanent employ
ment at wages much better than they
can get in their native land. He sayt
also that hundreds OF farmers here
want to sell their farms for want o!
help.
Mr.. Main says he can afford to pay
skilled European laborers much higher
wages than they can get at homes ant
still put them to work here for enough
less than the regular American wages
In connection with this they propose
| to run a colonization concern to bring
over foreigners, chiefly Germans, wh'
have small capital, to take up Western
timber lands. Mr.. Main says the.
have az much as q hundred thousan'
acres in single region, which will b
be applicable for this purpose.
