Their Houses.

Their Houses.
SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 1.-THE dreaded
evictions began to-day in most deter
mined way. The Ager and McAnee-
ny families were thrown out of
their houses and their poor furni-
ture piled in the road, while a
great crowd Of strikers silently watched
the proceedings. The two men who were
evicted have been conspicuous as
taking an active part in all labor demon
STATIONS. Evictions were also carried
out at Summit and Adelaide, and the
scenes on the roads to-day are likely to
be repeated, as the managers of the
great Frick firms say strikers cannot
live in company houses. Tonight the
operators say that the strikers are
wavering and breaking at number of
plants. and eviction notices have been
fairly showered at the Painter and
other works. This is powerful 'Heap-
on in the hands of the operators, and it
looks as if they are now playing their
last and winning game against the men.
An Infatuated crowd of foreign strik-
ers attacked the houses of several men
who han returned to work at the Trotter
plant. Windows and doors were
smashed and the inmates were obliged
to appeal to the deputy sheriff for pro-
lection. A woman was badly injured,
but the crowd withdrew before doing
other damage. Over thirty warrants
have been issued, and the rioters are
being arrested tonight. The strikers
say women led the mob.

Disappearance OF the Son of the Well.
known Attorney.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 16--John X. Fish,
son of General Solicitor Fish, of the St.
Paul Railway, has been missing since
Friday. On that day he came down
town with his roommate and parted
with him at the corner Of Clark and
Monroe streets, saying he was going to
see his father, whose Office is in the
Rookery Building. Since that time
nothing has been seen or heard Of him
by any of his friends, and they are at
loss to account for his strange disappear
ance. For some time he mas been suf-
tering from the grippe, and for a few
days before his disappearance he was
very much depressed. He is q years
old. 1t is greatly feared by his friends
that the grippe, with which he has been
affected, is responsible for his disap-
pearance.
Fish called at police headquarters
this morning to make further inquiries
concerning his son. Judge Gresham,
an old friend of the family, who
was with him, expressed the belief
that the young man had taken
trip West to recuperare lost strength,
not considering at the moment of his
departure the Importance of advising
his father and mother as to his inten-
tons. Young Fish formerly lived
in California. His parents are
now hoping be has gone there
and that he will learn through
the press dispatches of their
serious alarm for his safety. Descrip-
tons have been sent all over the coun-
try and the conductors Of his fathers
road notified.

COOKERS AGAIN RIOTING.

Strikers Attack the Deputy Sheriffs
Duty at Scotdale.
SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 1S.-The coke
region is again the scene of lawlessness,
and excitement is at fever heat. Last
night band Of about 100 strikers as
saulted the Leisenring No. plant
of the Frick Coke Company.
Shots were exchanged, and for
time the fight waged furiously.
The guards held their ground and final
ly compelled the mob to beat retreat,
but not until one of the deputies was
dangerously injured, and, it is thought,
cannot recover. Sheriff Mccormick,
up to this time has been trying
to deal patiently with this lawless
element and to avoid, if possible,
being charged with using undue
authority; but to-day he has about con-
Guided to surrender and to call on the
governor for state troops. His deputy's
lives have been in peril number of
times during the past three or four
days. A call for troops Will likely be
made this afternoon.
At the offices of the Frick and Nc
Clure companies word is given out that
few more reported for work this
morning at a number of the plants now
running, and that the shipments of
coke will be increased a few cars.
The various meetings held by the Ia
Dor leaders seem to have no effect, at
least not getting any of the men at
work to quit. Master Workmen Wise
and Hay returned from the Whit
ney and Llppincott Worke near
Latrobe last night, where they
held meetings Yesterday. They are
greatly depressed over their failure to
accomplish anything. The men yet re-
manning out demanded that those at
work be brought out and the Italians
driven away within two dnys, or all the
men would claim their Jobs The sit
uation with the leaders is becoming
painfully serious and looks more like
defeat every day.

TROOPS TO PRESERVE PEACE.
The Destruction of q Hindoo Temple
Leads to Riots in Renares.

LSaOs tu hiOIS III
BENAREs, April 17.-Excitement in
this city, originating from the demoli
ton of temple in order to provide a
site for a new water works, increases
every hour. All the shops in Benares
are closed, and all the natives in the
city and district have suddenly stopped
work and are gathering in crowds in
and about the principal thoroughfares
of the holy city. Serious riots have oc-
Cured between the disturbed natives
and the local authorities, who are
supported by British troops. Euro
pean and native troops have
been drafted into Benares, and
further reinforcements are on their
way to the same city. The British
troops are guarding all the banks, pub
lie buildings, and also occupy, in force,
many points of vantage throughout the
city and district It is consequently
presumed that the troops will be able to
suppress promptly any serious outbreak
upon the part of the natives, but the
eventual effect of the spirit Of resent
ment and Indignation existing among
Hindoos, already felt far and wide in
India, cannot at present be correctly

tons. No member of the society, how
ever, has yet ventured to walk out in
