The P1ttsburg Trouble.

P%ITTsBURG, Feb. 6.-When the non
union workmen quit work this afternoon
a large crowd of strikers and their friends
gathered in the vicinity of the mill. A
few minutes after 4 o'clock thirty of the
negroes, under the protection of a squad
of twenty-five, made their appearance.
They were greeted with cries of BLACK
sheep" and ''Scabs." but no attention
was paid to the angry crowd. The pro-
cession started down Smallman street fol
lowed by a mob, which steadily increased
in size until the street for a square was
black with people.
At the corner of Thirty-third street
stones commenced to fly and it began to
look dangerous, but the officers promptly
turned on the crowd and drove them
back, after which they escorted the colored
men to their homes.
Three trips were necessary to get all
the men from the mill and the same
scenes were repeated each time. A num-
Der of persons, including non-unionists
and on-lookcrs, were slightly injured by
being hit with stones and other mis-,
sles.
Officer Friedman, whom it was alleged
fired the shot that struck Kenny, was ar.
rested tonight on the charge of ]felonious
shooting preferred by the uncle of the
boy. Friedman says he never used his re.
yolyer.

A Bank omcer Arrested.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.-The Metropoli-
tan National bank directors passed reso-
lutions to suspend and the bank is now in
the hands of the government. Vice
President j. r. DeCamp has been ar
rested.
The charge against DeCamp is certify
ing to a false statement in December of
the condition of the bank. The next
movement will be the appointment of a
receiver. The trouble is traced to the in
crease of the stock from $500, 900 to ST.
000, 600, the issue being to the holders of
stock at 20 per cent per annum, the pre-
mivm being utilized as a suplus fund. A
large part of this increase was paid for in
notes.
The placing of this stock il various
banks gave rise to suspicion, ending in
making it difficult to place the stock. To
sustain its market status the directors
were compelled to buy in considerable
quantities. A light money market at the
close of the year forced the Metropolitan
to carry a load that was too heavy.
Another trouble grew out of the reports
of the speculative tendencies of the Off
GERS, although there is no evidence of its
being carried to any considerable extent.
The cashier states that there remains
about $500, 900 of the 81, SOC, 900 deposit
account. 1t is thought the ~depositors
will be paid in full, while the stockholders
will be subject to an assessment of 10 to
Is per cent on the par values of their
holdings.
When the arrest of DeCamp was made
the private watchman of the bank made
a vigorous resistance to the deputy United
States marshal and was arrested, but
afterward released. 1t is thought other
officers of the bank will be arrested.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 5.-The idea of
capital execution had a practical, but dn.
fortunate demonstration tonight. A boy
named Taylor was driving a grocery sleigh
along Washington street and Just passing
Eagle street when the horse stepped on a
telephone wire which had become en-
tangled with an electric light wire lying
on the ground and was instantly killed
AS the horse was falling the boy touched
his whip lightly to him and received a
severe shock, throwing him to the
ground.
Isaac Moulton, a colored porter running
on the Michigan Central and living at
Detroit, who was passing at the time,
went to the drivers assistant and, touch
ing the fatal wire, was instantly killed.
His body was put into an ambulance and
taken to the hospital in hope OF 1eviving
him, but to no avail.
A number of spectators who drew
around to help were given shocks through
handling the body of the dead man. The
boy soon recovered and was sent to his
home at Black Rock. During yesterday
a rain storm prevailed, bringing down the
wires.
The common council passed a resoIu-
ton six months ago ordering all the wires
buried in the district where the accident
occurred, but the limit of time has passed
and the wires have not been buried. This
is the first fatal accident here from this
cause, but there have been a number of
instances where light shocks were given
by broken wires.

Built by Non-Union Labor.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The Times to-mor-
row will publish the fact that a letter has
been mailed to President Cleveland and
another similar in character to Chairman
Barnum of the Democratic national com
mittee calling attention to the alleged en-
ployment of non-union workmen in the
construction of the auditorium building in
this city, and to the charge that convict
cut stone has been used in the structure.
The question is asked whether the presi-
dent and Mr.. Barnum will countenance
the holding of the democratic national
convention in the auditorium building
should the convention come to Chicago.
The names ofthe persons signing the let
tiers and the organizations they represent
are withheld.
