LITTLE Rock, ARK, July s.--News has
reached here from ten miles below stating
that the colored strikers IN Youngs
township had declared their Intention OF
beginning at Sheriff Worthen's farm
and working up TO the Late plantation,
the scene Of the recent trouble, destroy
ing all within their reach. The sheriff Inn
medlately began preparations for call on
the governor, when Towans and Lee,
state officers OF the Knights OF Labor, and
a prominent colored Knight, called on
the sheriff and asked to be allowed TO go
down and try 10 control the strikers.
They so far succeeded as to get the strlk-
ers TO agree TO not interfere with the la
borers DESTROYS OF working at the accus-
toned price II Is hoped all trouble Is
over, yet grave apprehensions are felt.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, July Sit was
supposed that the trouble at the Tate
plantation had ended, and that the strik-

pacifed and would return 20 work, their
master workman having so advised just
the reverse, however, now seems to be
the condition OF affairs, and many believe
that this county IL on the verge OF one oil
the bloodiest race conflicts that has oc-

rived from the neighbOrhood OF the late
trouble is that the striking negroes, re-
inforced By many sympathlzers /

have made complete preparations for a |
general uprising some time to-dey or to-
morrow; that, fully armed, they will at
tempt to redress their wrongs and griev-
ances, directing attention first to Sheriff
Worthen, who recently subdued the
strikers. They will next advance upon
the farms Of Morris and Fox, with the In
tention OF burning the crops, barns and
hous, s. Others who have incurred the
enmity OF the negroes will be visited and
treated In like manner. The negroes
have been openly buying arms and ammu
milton within the past few days, and they
say that II they are opposed In their cam

responded and were sworn ia as special :

STRIKERS ON THE wARPATH.
Hungarian Coke Makers Have 4 Desperate Battle With The Police.

Hungarian Coke Makers Have A
 Desperate Battle With The Police.
 MT. PHEASANT, Pa., Jan. 20.-The situa=
 ton at this point and throughout the whole coke region is now more strained than twen- ty-four hours ago and is by every person re- gard ed extremely critical. Possibilities were begun this morning by a large body of Hungarians from Morewood attacking three men at the Al ice mine, holding them ill an oven until they became insensible and leaving them on the ground almost dead The strikers numbering two hundr ed and fifty then proceeded to
 Stoneville, where they caught the yard boss,
 beat him with clubs, jumped on him and left h i'm for dead. A little boy was also
 brutally beaten and nearly killed. As the crowd was passing the Mutual works they
 attacked a colored workman and beat him
 insensible. At 3 o'clock the forces had nearly reached Mt. Pleasant and
 were starting for the Standard works when they were met '. by a body United States deputies in uniform and twen
 ty-ive deputies in citizens clothes. As the officers marched up the strikers drew up in battle array, presenting bold front. The strikers carried two American flags and were armed with revolvers, knives, axes and clubs. Detective Brophy attempted to arrest one of the leaders, when the officers were surrounded, but by prompt action with their clubs drove the crowd back and arrested two of the lead CTS. The strikers, seeing that the officers were determined, ran up the hill and began firing. Bullets whistled around very lively from the revolvers of the strikers and officers. A second stand was made at the house of the leader where the strikers had taken a position. Here was the most desperate conflict and fully hundred | shots were fired. The officers bravely faced l the Hungarians and finally drove them over l the hills to the Alice mines. Considering the | length of the battle and the shots fired it is | surprising that nobody was killed. It is re- | ported that some fifteen Hungarians were l badly wounded. Raids were also made to-day | on the Donnelly and Diamond mines, | three miles from here. Five Hungarians and | three Americans were fatally beaten and | considerable property destroyed. The situa- tion is serious and further outbreaks are ex- pected. Another carload of officers from Pittsburg will arrive in the morning. The firing continued for three hours and far into ] the night the piekets stationed on the hills | and in the valleys could be heard exchanging | shots with the sheriffs' deputies.

AN OIL WAR REHOUSE ON FIRE. Young Ladies Have Scramble for
 Their Lives.

AN OIL wAREHOUsE ON FIRE. Young Ladies Have a Scramble for Their Lives.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-A workman named Kessler in R. J. Allen & Sons oil ware house, 115 Arch street, dropped lamp on the basement floor about o'clock this even ing. The oil soaked timbers instantly is nited and the flames spread so fast that Kess- Ter had difficulty in escaping with his life He was so badly bu1 ned that he was removed to hospital where he lies in critical con-
 dltion. The flames soon enveloped and ruin ed the whole building. Samuel Bailey 8
 packer who was at work in the rear of the first floor when the fire broke out is missing
 and it is believed that he was burned to
 death. Two young ladies employed on the
 second floor as stenographers had narrow
 escapes. One got out of window and walk
 ed along the projecting lodges of the window sills until she reached place of safety in an adjoining building. The other waited at window until ladder was
 brought and she was carried down by the hremen. The fire spread from the Allen
 building to Crew, Lenick 6 Co. $ oil ware house, No. 112 Arch street, and that build ing was also destroyed The firemen were
 by this time able to check the further prog ress of the flames to the eastward. On the west was William Kirkson & Co.'s benzine store, No. r Arch street. The three upper floors of the building were used as cheap lodging house. The building was gutted. As the burning buildings were situated in what is known the oil district, nearly the entire fire department was sum- moned to the vicinity to prevent a great con- fagration. For time there was great ex- citement over rumors of loss of life, but so far as is now known Bailey is the only per son missing The buildings were old and not very valuable and the stock was not large as an ordinance strictly limits the amount of oil which may be stored in ware houses within the city.
