COUNTY ArroRNEY,s OFFICE.
Gr. Morris' Precedent of Establishing Ofices
in the Court House.

For the information of some people who
do not appreciate how very crowded the
present court house building is, it may be
mentioned that the county attorney, one
Of the most sought officials of the county,
has never had an Office in the court house,
but on the other hand has been compelled
to find an Office at some remote and uncon-
spicuous location. County Atttorney-elect
w. S. Morris, however, has concluded,
very properly, too, that the many tax-pay-
ers and preservers of the laws who may
want to consult the county attorney have
as much right to recognition as almost
any other class of people who have BUSH
ness of a public character and accordingly
he is now busy in fitting up two of the
upper rooms on the Main street front of the
court house building for use as the office
and consultation room Of the county
attorney.
Coroner Percy, whose present Office
is one of those to be used
by Attorney Morris will remove
his Office to more comfortable quarters in
the basement, at present occupied by
Messrs. II, G. Toler & company for a
real estate and loan office. For long
time the county has been trying to get pos
session of these rooms, and something like
a year ago notified Messrs. To,er & Co. 20
vacate, but that enterprising firm knew a
good location and had prepared for such
an emergency by paying another years
rent in advance and thus euchered the
county commissioners at that game This
time, however, the county commissioners
knew thing or two themselves, and de-
clined to receive another years rent in
advance from Messrs. Toler & Co., but
instead they yesterday ordered County
Clerk Dunkin to serve notice on Messrs.
Toler & Co. to vecate said premises inn
mediately. 1t is presumed they will act
on the suggestion and procure another
equally desirable location. if that can be
had.

A DIFFERENT STORY.
Chaos Said to Reign Supreme at
JOhnstown.

PIrTsBuRa, Pa, June 1s.-A special TO the
Leader from Johnstown says: Chaos reigns su-
preme here to-day. Everybody is excited and
petty quarrels and conflicts between the labor
ing men and their bosses are Of frequent oc-
currence. At 8 o'clock this morning the town
was swarming with laboring men of all types
and nationalities, but the conditions Of "Sl.5 80
per day and buy your own rations." under which
they were to be employed did not appear to be
much of an inducement, and as q result only
one hundred men are now engaged in clearing
away the debris. This gang is engaged in
clearing away and burning rubbish in Kern
vile. Not a solitary man is at work on the
mass Of ruins and putrefying flesh above the
stone bridge, the stencil from which, Us fast be-
coming unbearable. The indications now
that this day will be wasted and that tomorrow
will witness no more progress with the work
than to-day.
THE FIRST CONFLICT AMONG THE woRExEx
occurred at o'clock this morning, when an at
tempt was made to dethrone the foreman Of
the western forces The contractors disor-
ganized the gang and put strange foreman in
charge. The men refused 10 continue work
under any other than their own foreman. The
contractors would not concede the point and the
laborers returned to their tents, where they
are still quartered and say they will return
home before they will work under q strange
foreman. A gang Of over 200 Italians was
hired to take the places of the strikers The
laborers did not take kindly to the Italians and
intimidated them at every opportunity. No
open conflict occurred, however, until
THE ITALIANS WERE AT BREAKFAsT.
One Of the American laborers made an in
sulting remark to one Of the dagoes and the
latter answered in the same manner. Hot
words were exchanged resulting in q raid on
the Italians who were thrown bodily out Of
their tents. The Italians reported the matter
to Contractor Mcknight, who in turn reported
the matter to General Hastings. The general
expressed his determination to suppress such
outbreaks at all hazards. The assurance that
all men would be thoroughly protected from
violence, however, did allsy the fears Of the
Italians, and the majority of them returned TO
their tents. Bystanders say that the conduct Of
the Americans TO the Italian laborers was OUT
rageous. Contractor Mcknight told the Ital-
ians to prepare to 60 to work tomorrow and
he would guarantee that they would NOS
be molested. =

to THE STAR reporter. I'VE are anxious to
have the people know that il is our sincere de-
sire to do everything possible for the canal.
These repair bonds will doubtless be issued
very soon. but it is question as to whether or
not there will be found capitalists who will in
vest when they have staring them in the face
the repair bonds Of lS4S, the holders Of which
have an absolute and incontestible right to
foreclose on the entire property. Ii may be that
some rich and patriotic men will be willing to
place their money in these bonds solely be-
cause Of the good they may do, and not be-
cause of the profit there may be in il. The
lien we offer-on the revenues of the canals
not the most promising. The canal revenues
