look Ominous.
SCoTTDALE, PA, April 23.-The latest
reports concerning the riot at the Adelaide
plant Of the Frick company last night is
that none of the parties injured will die
OF the two women hurt one was shot
through the shoulder, and other received a
scalp wound. A physician says that both
will recover with proper care In
few days. The story that one woman
would be paralyzed for life is without foun-
datiop. 1t is now certainly known that the
woman most seriously wounded was shot by
her lover, burly Hungarian, whom she
tried TO save. The same Hungarian shot
Sheriff Mccormick in the hand. After the
shooting the Hungarian swan the Youghio-
gheny river and escaped. He is still at
liberty.
THE SHERIFF BADLY INJURED.
Sheriff Mccormick is badly injured. He
says he is satisfied that II it had not been
for the timely arrival Of the troops he and
his deputies would have been killed. At
noon to-day all was quiet at Adelaide, and
no trouble had been reported
from otner paris of the region.
Half OF Company & have been detained
at the Adelaide plant and will see that
order is maintained. The men returned to
work at the plant as usual this morning and
did not seem the least alarmed. The Frick
company and also tho Mcclure company
claim fbat fha hn Of IN
work is increasing, and by the last Of the
week they expect TO be able TO make all the
coke they have orders for
AT Leisiuring No. 2 the Pinkertons are
In charge, and nothing can be learned of the
situation. The seven days notice given the
strikers at the Painter and Diamond works
OF the Mcclure company expired to-day.
HUNGARIAN TIGREss.
Shortly after noon to-day Sheriff Nc
Cormick, with deputies, began making
evictlons at Leisinring No. 3. While at
tending TO his duties a Hungarian woman
named Glasko shot at him, the ball iuflict-
ing painful flesh wound in the hand. The
sheriff grappled with the woman and
wrested the revolver from her. The in
furiated woman then secured an ak, and, as
the sheriff persisted in his attempts to evict
the woman, she attacked him with the
weapon, giving him an ugly cut on the
foot. Sheriff Mccormick then drew a re-
volver and shot the woman in the leg. BY
this time a great crowd of strikers had
gathered and one Hungarian made for the
sheriff. Sheriff Mccormick puckily stood
his ground and shot the man Ia the mouth
The deputies were gathered in knot by
this time, and the evictionS were carried
through. II is not believed that any one of
the three parties shot is fatally injured.
NO ONE KILLED.
PITTsBUBG, Pa, April 23.-The story
from Scottdale that five men and two
women had been killed In the riot to-day
deal Of trouble in the region all day, how
ever, and one man was probably fatally
wounded and one woman seriously hurt.
THE HUNS THE WORST.
PITTsBURG, PA, April %, II p. M
Dispatches from the coke regions report
that the sheritf's officers had but little
trouble in evicting the English
speaking strikers, from whom no
forcibe resistance was encountered,
but in no case was it possible
to execute tho writs upon the Hungarians,
Poles, or Italians without fighting. Sheriff
Mccormick shot two men and one woman,
the latter of whom was the most ferociou7
Of the lot. One man shot in the mouth
may die. Another who endeavored to kill
the sheriff from behind with an ak was
arrested. The woman shot at Adelaide yes
teTday, and reported killed, is still alive and
may recover. The presence of militia
company was probably all that prevented
killing, as the strikers were bent upon killing
the sheriff, and threaten to do so at the first
opportunity. The appearance Of blue coats
overawed them, however, and the sheriff's
men finished their work.
