ALMOST A RIOT.
President Mooney, of the BslIaire,
GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati,
ATTACKED BY TWENTY ITALIANS,
Recently Discharged, at WOodsfeld, o,
Yesterday---What Might Have
Been Serious Affair.
THE SHERIFF AND HIS POSSE ARRIVE.
Special 10 the Re5iEfer.

WooDsFIELD, O., August 3.-An exciting
incident occurred here to-day. Just
as the westbound train on the B,
L. & c. arrived some twenty Ital-
ans, who had been discharged, congregatea
around the depot and intercepted Colonel
Mooney, President Of the road, as he was
boarding the train for the West Just then
ole Jack Watson,a semi giant, seized pick
handle and tapped the Italian, who
was most conspicuous in il:
tercepting the progress Of Col Mooney, over
the skull some three or four times before
the bystanders could stop him. This unex.
pected procedure directed all attention from
Col. Mooney to Wilson and the whacked
Italian. The chatter of the bronzed sons oi
Italy was fast and furious, interspersed with
detached oaths in the Queens English that
only sounded the odder and fercer because
one did not know what words went before
or came after. In tie meantime fists were
clenched and shaken in the faces OF the Off
GERS Of the road, who hastily got into the
ticket ofice and bolted the dor.
One plucky little fellow named
"Frenchy" Hays, an alleged horse jockey,
from West Virginia, with pair Of knuck-
lers on his right hand and tooth pick in
his left, which he nervously employed in
picking his teeth kept the enraged men at
cay until good opportunity offered TO get
inside the ticket Office which he did. The
Italians wanted Wilson's scalp badly, and
commenced battering the door, breaking in
eir dows, pulling out revolvers and WELD
,rg clubs in the most threatening manner
Finally, the Mayor with the Sheriff sno his
posse arrived on the scene together with
isrge number Of citizens. The Mayor
road the riot act and gave the rioters
Eve minutes to disperse. They concluded
20 accept the ultmatum and sullenly with.
drew but not until they were promised Viii.
son should be arrested.
1t appears the primal cause Of the trouble
arose because some back pay due them BY
the company was not forthcoming on de-
nand. Being discharged they wanted their
money and did not propose to let the Presi-
dent leave the town until he iquidated
Wilson's part, though done as he supposed
10 save Col. Mooney from personal violence
precipitsted what came within on ace OF
resulting in the mort serious consequences,
and as it was, disturbed the quiet little town
10 high degree.
