Sebastian Gabarrio, leader of $50
italians employed near Wampum,
told a strange story. Gabarrio is a
naturaIized citizen and property
owner in Wamppm. He said the
Italians asked IL he would go into u
plot to avenge their countrymen who
were killed at New Orleans. The
stranger said 10000 Italians would
he brought into Pittsburg in five
hours time, and with the aid OF
guns, aud by surprising the citizens
they would be able to take the city
without much trouble.
He urged Gabarrio to get the Ital-
ians at Wampum 10 consent to meet
the others at Pittsburg at given
signal. He then told how every
Italian settlement in Allegheny
and Beaver counties were receiving
the same information and how each
settlement was expected to send a
large delegation. In the afternoon
the Pittsburg envoy left for Carbon,
to stir up the Italians there, and said
"a secret meeting would be held In
the near future to talk the matter
over among themselves. A dispatch
from Wheeling states that 20O0 Ital-
ians near Moundsville,n now employed
on the railroad, and who have been
drilling, intend to go to New Or
leans, but for what purpose they re-
fuse to state.
THE FUNERAL.
SCoTTDALE, April 4.-The strikers
are centering In Scottdale tonight to
attend the funeral of seven Of the
ten victims, who are to be buried in
the Catholic cemetery here. A long
trench is already prepared to receive
them. The strikers are gathering
here already in such numbers that
by tomorrow fully 10000 men will
be present to attend the funeral. A
special train just brought in 700
militia from Mount Pleasant, and
other companies will be here in the
morning, as trouble is feared from
the great body of strikers when they
see their fellow strikers buried, who
they say were simply murdered.
Mayor Felts, of Scottdale, ordered
all the saloons closed tomorrow.

PITTsBURG. Penn, April A
Scottdale, Penn, special says: A
mass meeting of the strikers has
been called Immediately after the
funeral. A Plttsburg gentleman,
Just home from the coke regions,
says the general impression is that
1t is the intention to prolong the
funeral service until after dark then
attack some unprotected locality.
THE COKE DISTRICT.
PITTsBURa, April 4.--H.C. Frlcke,
coke operator, says the outbreak in
the coke district should be laid to
the door of cunning labor leaders
who, for selfish purposes, have in
cited them TO riot. He denies inn
porting men. The peculiar feature
of the situation is, although the men
have been out of work for a month
they still seem TO have plenty Of
money, and from outward appear
ances are not suffering for anything.
In Mount Pleasant bank there is n
large list of deposltors whose savings
range from 5000 to $1,000, OF this
money very little has been with
drawn, The strike is likely to con-
tlnue indefinitely.

Mr. PLEASANT Penn, April A.
The situation in the coke regions
has not materially changed. The
feeling prevails that as long as the
militia remains there will be no
more lawlessness, The funeral Of
the victims will occur this afternoon,
not less than 1000 coke workers win
follow the bodies TO the grave.
Every preoautlon Is being taken to
prevent trouble.
