TERRIBLE COMBAT
Between Police aud Hungarian Strikers
in Pennsylvania.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 20.
A despatch from Nj. Pler.ant tonight
states that Sheriff Stewart and forty deputles
and Detective Brophy an twenty armed p,-
lice from Pit;sburg had a desperate conflict
with 250 strikers this forenoon, and succeed
ed in arresting thirteen af them. After at
lacking the m n at the Alice works in the
murning the rioters rosted for dinner They
then massed at the Mutual works near Stone
river. At this point negro without provi-
cation fired at the liungarians with a shot
gun, but failed to hit anv of them They
surrounded his house, dragged the negro out,
beat him fearfuiiy and left him for dead, with
his skull fractured. He will probably die
AT o'clock the strikers passed up toward
Moorewood, hourishing every kind OF weap
ons. They were headed by Stefen Stannex,
the main agitator in the strike. When they
reached shaft A Of the Morewood mines they
encountered the sixty deputy sheriffs and
policemen drawn up for battle. Detective
Brophy talked to the foreigners, telling them
that it was useless to resist and that they
would arrest the ringleaders Brophy
arrested one striker, which opened the
ball. The combat was hand to hand, but
the officers won, arresting ID men and one
woman, who were sent to Jail at Greensburg
The balance retreated.
Over 100 shots were fred and several Hun
garians injured, how badly is not known, as
they were carried away by companions. Only
one officer was slightly hurt. The authori
ties. it is stated. have telegraphei to Pitts
burg for more officers. The strike is only
inaugurated and more bloodshed is feared
some little excitement was occasioned BY
report that the IIungarians were acting un-
der orders from Chicago lodge of social
lists and the dynamite taken from loves
magazine during the recent raid was to be
used for blowing up the company's property.
The story, however, was generally discred-
tied. Tuis strike is undoubtedly the most
dangerous in the history of coke industry
The operators have an entirely diff rent class
of men to deal with, as the Hung ari4ns are at
all times unmanageabie The feeling of in
security prevails and citizens near the vari-
Gus threatened districts are arming them
selves and otherwise preparing to defe nd
