Her Lover.
PITTsBURa. Pa April 22. "A speci-
al from Uniontown, Pa, says: sphreats
have been turned to violence, and the
violence has caused a death in the coke
regions, with the result that Company G.
has been called to the scene Of the
tragedy, and all is in ferment In Fayette
County. Officers went to Adelaide this
morning, where they made two evictions
after great deal of trouble and opposi-
ton. They were then overpowered by
the strikers and driven away. Rein
forced by Sheriff Mccormick and a
large force the deputies returned, when
O pitched battle took place between the
Sherlff's posse and. about 800 Hungarian
men and women in which a Hungarian
girl was killed and others injured, among
whom are several deputies.
The battle occurred about 8 O'Clock
this afternoon. While, the members of
Company g. were lunchihg down at the
boiler house, the deputies were trying
to keep the Hungarians from carving
back the household goods which had
been thrown out of the houses. In the
forenoon big, strong Hungarian was
| fighting with the deputies when Sheviff
Mccormick started to. arrest him. The
Hungarian saw him coming and tried to
shoot. The girl who was killed was a
lover of the big Hungarian aud was
| fighting for him with the ferocity of a
young tigress. The deputies say the
pistol went of in The hands of the Hunga-
rian and killed his sweetheart. If it
had not been for the arrival of Company
g. at that moment every deputy would
have doubles been injured, if not killed,
Sheriff Nc cCormick was shot through the
thumb by the bullet that killed tue girl.
| Eyictions will take place at Leith to-
morrow and trouble is feared. One
hundred and eighty Pinkertons are
stationed at Leiscnring where eighty
five men are at work in pit. Company
g, will remain as ADELAIDE Tonight.
Deputies Crawford and Kyle arrived
here this evening with three prisoners
captured during the riots.
a special from Scotidale says about
four thousand strikers were massed on
the common here this evening to listen
to the address of Alexander Jones,
the great socialist leader and August
Delebar the international Secetary OF
the Journeymen Bakers and Confec-
toners Union. Early in the day the
strikers came pouring into town. They
all had flags and marched behind brass
bands Jane Mcbride, member of
the Knights of Labor Executive Board,
was elected chairman.
Alex Jones was the first speaker. He
said: ''Black slavery has been abolished
under the American flag, the same flag
under which John Brown was hanged,
and anarchists in Chicago were assas-
sinated and your brothers at Moorwood
murdered. prefer the red flag" He
dwelt at ength on the capitalist pass
and denounced 1t in uncompromising
language. The next speaker was Dele
bar. Among other things he said:
"Gour newspapers announced that two
outlaws were coming to advise riot and
disorder. We are two workingmen who
represent labor organizations, and we
are here to assist you in your great
struggle. When workingmen combine
Tor protection you are charged with
conspiracy and Pinkertons arc brought
in upon you. They were said to be the
best to break the strikers. My advice
to YOU is to stay away from them"
The foreign element was then adj
dr. ssed, after which Secretary Parker
and James Keegan spoke briefly and the
meeting was closed. During the pro-
gress of the meeting a Hungarian named
| Womago voted to return to work and
was thrown out and afterwards beaten.
There are no special features in the
strike situation; the fight is being waged
bitterly with no prospect ofa settlement.
The Frick Company claim larger force
to-day and their claims seem to be justi-
fable. The Mcclure Company also re-
port heavier forces. A labor official said
that large number of Jimtown work
men, principally Germans, reentered
their ranks tonight. Several thousand
strikers will hold mass Meeting at
onnelsville tomorrow.
