SHENANDOAH, Pa, Jan. 25.-A san

Italian population has broken out be-
tween the two races here. Nearly |, 600
Of these foreigners are emp.oyed in the
Mahoney valley on contracts DESIGNATED az
%"strippings" where the surface is being
removed from the coal beds. The Ital-
ians are nearly all desperate characters.
They live in ehanties erected at the
works grouped together in punches OF
from nifty 10 seventy five. The Huns
live in the same fashion and both con-
sume large quantities Of fighting whisky.
There has been bad feeling between them
for months, and an open rupture Wac
reached yesterday when the supeyintend-
ent at the Shenandoah stripping dis
charged half a dozen Italians. Their
countrymen at once quit WORK and de-
manded that they be reinsiated. suggest

force, Hungarians be Gism ssed. The
superintendent was obdurate, and the re-
suit was the Italians formed a line OF bat

other settlement at Barry's Station. two
miles away, last evening. AT the latter
place there are about 200 Eungarians and
Italians. During the night the Italians
made a raid on a Hungarian shanty which
contained fifty men, and for more than
an hour a fierce battle, in which knives,
clubs and other weapons were used, was
waged. During the progress of the bat
tie the Italians fred the shanty, and the
factions finished the fight in the light of

newspaper mentioning the fact that
Montcgriilo; one Of the tenors Of the
Abbot company, had sung in
Cavalry Episcopal church last sun
day, and that he was thanked
from the pulpit by the rector, Or. Bur
ford. This much was true. The paper
went on 10 contrast the action OF Dr..
Burford with THAT of Rev. Mr.. Chandler

the time, and characterized the former
as mot n purblind bigOt." This reused
