AFRAID OF FITZSIMMONS.
Jim Halls Loud Talk All Done for Ad-
vertising Purposes.

Jim Halls Loud Talk All Done for Ad-
vertising Purposes.
CHICAGO, April 81. Harry Ballard, city
editor of the Inter Ocean, said to-day in re-
gard to the Fitzsimmons-Hal match, that
three weeks ago Clark, on behalf of Fitz-
simmons, deposited with him $2,5OO to bind
a match with Hall; that he had received
dispatches from Jim Ryan, whom he did
not know, and John Grant, president of the
Astoria, (Oregon), club. Grant wanted the
1880 sent on to Astoria, but to this Clark
demurred. If the Hall party means busi-
ness they should send some one here to
to cover money now up for Fitzsimmons.
With a representative of Hall here, articles
of agreement could be drawn, final deposits
arranged and final stakeholder agreed
upon. Mr.. Ballard said that the San Fran
cisco Evening Post of March 30 says that
Joe Harris would on that day forward
$500 here to cover Fitzsmmons' deposit;
but he had heard nothing of its arrival as
yet. ass
A dispatch from San Francisco tonight
states that Hall and Harris leave tomorrow
for Chicago, expecting to meet Fitzsim-
mons there in about ten days and arrange
match if possible.

in such numbers that by tomorrow fully
10000 men will be present at the funeral,
A special train has just brought in 700
armed militia from Mount Pleasant and
other companies will be here in the morn

ofstrikers when they see they see their fell
low strikers buried. who, they say, were
simply murdered. Mayor Fetts, of Scott
dale, have ordered all saloons closed to-
morrow. 1t is reported from Mount
Pleasant that :. this afternoon a
number of militiamen entered store
belonging to a cripple named Daniel Som
whereupon they broke the windows and
splintered the door in fragments with their
bayonets. One of the guard became so
hilarious that striker named Kelly struck
him over the head with pick handle, in
fiicting an ugly cash. Different captains
have been apprised of their actions, and
they promise to take steps to discipline un-
ruly members. The arrest of deputies on
charges by labor officials for felonious
shooting continues. It is reported he, Q
tonight that striker died at Tarr's to-
day, supposed to have been victim of the
Morewood riot. Col. Hawkins, in COM
mand of the Tenth regiment. says that so
far as investigations go, Capt. Loar was
at Morewood and that he should strongly
advise that militia be kept in the regions
until the strike ia over and the region quiet.
Tonight Rev. Father Lambing, of the
Scottdale Catholic church, who is greatly
beloved and respected. and has strong in
fluence over the strikers, issued an appeal
TO the region. He says: ut is a time for
oil parties to reflect. Men cannot be re-
placed or displaced and the vast majority
must remain in the region.'' He advises
peaceful, amicable settlement before the
trouble goes farther, and perhaps both
parties fare worse. 7a N

New YoRK. April 3.-Representative of
the American Institute of Architects Ma
tional Association of Builders, National
Association of Building Inspectors, National
Board of Underwriters and National Asso-
citation of Fire Engineers, convened in this
city to-day to Jointly frame model build
ing ordinance. Asub-committee appointed
deemed it impracticable at present to draw
up detailed building laws. Some of the
recommendations are: That the legisla-
lures of various states should establish state
building laws governing the construction
OF buildings. In all incorporated cities
there should be a separate department for
inspection of buildings, whose officers
should be appointed for long terms by the
local executive; that aside from special
local codes the general law should contain
rules that all buildings over seventy feet
high must be built of incombustible ma
terial. Further recommendations are
made for the safety of human life in build
ings.

Turbulent Element.

4, Workmsn Will Attend the
Funeral To-Day.

MOUNT PLEASANT, April 3.-Quiet reigns
Throughout the coke regions. No outbreak
has occurred since the fatal raid OF yester-
day morning. While the situation Is still
Rrsve, the presence Of the militia has had
reaspuring effect. Two regiments are upon
the ground. The uncertainty and fear of
last night proved an awful strain on both
the strikers and citizens. No sleeping was
done in the entire region, but the crowds
paraded the streets or gathered in knots at
the corners or disappeared in punches over
the dark hills, leaving doubt as to their
destination and intentions. The foreigners
are quiet, but they are always in crowds and
the momentary fear OF an outbreak which
the entire regiment could not quell, was on
" dissipated by the first streaks of early
dawn. So far ten deaths have occurred and
several more are in critical condition.
The funerals will take place on Saturday.
Peter Wise, the master workman of the
knights of Labor, says the entire coke
corltry will turn out and about that time
the people must take care.
The inquest was resumed this morning.
Neither the sheriff or the coke companies
were represented, but the labor leaders
were present in full force. Albert Haley
swore that the only shooting he heard came
from the guards. George Kyler, the watch
man, testified to hearing two or three pistol
shote before the regular firing of the guards.
WITNESS was deputy and carried re-
v0lyG. He did not know whether all the
guards carried revolvers or not. This doubt
cre9ted as to whether pistol shots were fired
tirstfby the guards or the strikers was re-
ceived with cheer by the crowd.
Most Of the testimony this morning was
favorable to the strikers, except DIR. Plot
ner, who testified that the company's gate
had been broken down.
Fears are entertained for the safety of
Capt. Loar, whose men did the shooting
yesterday. Threats against him are loud
and he is going around with a body guard.
Trouble is looked for in Fayette county and
probably regiment of militia will be sent
there.

Hair-Raising Story From Pittsburg of

New CASTLE, Pa, April 3.--To-day Sebas-
tion Gabarrio, leader of $50 Italians em-

Gabarrio, who is naturalized citizen and
property owner in Wampum, seemed to

asked him if he would 60 into plot to
avenge his countrymen who had been killed

Italians would be brought into Pittsburg in
five hours time, and with the aid of guns
and by surprising the citizens they could
be able to take the city without much
trouble. He strongly urged Gabarrio totget
the Italians at Wampum to consent to meet
the others in Pittsburg at given signal.

in Allegheny and Beaver counties were re-

each settlement expected to send large
delegation. In the afternoon the Pitts
burg envoy lett for Carbon to stir up he
Italians there, and said secret meeting
was to be held in the near future to talk
the matter over among themselves.
A dispatch from Wheeling states that
1900 Italians near Moundsville now en-
ployed on the railroad and who have been
drilling, intend to go to New Orleans

Whatever of truth there NAV be in the
reports from New Castle and Wheeling as
to an attack on Pittsburg in the case of
trouble between this country and Italy, one
thing is certain. For tho past week an un-

THE ST. LAWRENCE.
Fire Raging Below the 4OO--Pouring In
Wmter.

BUTTE. April Especial lit was re-
ported on Wednesday that the pumps were
being raised from the Anaconda and St.
Lawrence mines for the purpose Of replac-
ing them with new ones. This was only
partly true. The st. Lawrence pumps
alone wore raised, and it was not for the
purpose reported. The fire is still raging
between the 400 and 900 levels Of the mine,
and it was for the purpose Of flooding the
mine that tie pumps were raised. It ia
credibly reported that the connections be-
tween the Anaconda and st. Lawrence were
thoroughly bulkheaded two months ago
and that constant stream of water has
been kept pouring into the fire from the
400 level without effect. The matter is
kept very quiet here, but there is no reason
to doubt that the facts are substantially as
above reported.
