Late tonight word was received that
| two more men concerned in the riot had
| died in strikers houses near the Morewood
works, where they had been dragged by
their fellow-rioters.
There is no doubt that Others are either
| dead or in critical condition. Reports
late tonight from all over the region indi-
cate fearfnlly dangerous and excited CON
dition of affairs.
ANOTHER CONFLICT LIKELY.
| At Leisenring Constable Campbell at
| tempted to arrest John Lushka, a Russian
for completely in the mountaineering that
occurred there on Monday. Lushka
fercely resisted, and called out in his ma
| tive tongue for aid. A fellow country
man, who was on the outside of the office
where Lushka had been trapped, gave the
| alarm, and in a few moments there was a
bowling mob of foreigners surrounding
the place.
I.iishka leaped through the office win
dow, carrying, with him a pair Of hand
cuffs. Several shots were fired after him,
but he escaped. Tonight the warrant was
| placed in the hands of Sheriff Mccormick,
and with large posse of men he has
started for Leisenring to make the arrest.
| Lushka and his companions are armed,
and a fight will certainly follow unless the
man is surprised
HARRISBURG, Pa, April 3.-At IL
o'clock last night Governor Pattison re-
ceiyed telegram stating that the mill
tary was en- route from Pittsburg to the
coke regions. Subsequently one came
from George ii. Welshons of Pittsburg,
| as follows:
Sentiment here sustains your action in
| the coke country You have acted neither
| too soon nor too late Soldiers cheered on
he NO Df glIhstiffitpq
Don't think there will be trouble after to-
morrow, Friday.
The following kilograms have been
received this morning:
MouNT PLEASANT Pa, April 3.-Arrived
here with the troops at LIS. found all
| quiet. Have five companies at Morewood,
| 10 companies here. AT this early hour
the. prevailing opinion is that Scottdale
| will need assistance which ! will send at
once.
This was signed by Brigadier-general
Wiley. Another telegram at 10 O'Clock
to-day was from Colonel Hawkins of
the Tenth Regiment, at Mount Pleasant,
as follows; "My entire regiment here.
Have reported to General Wiley. All
| quiet this morning"
EVERYTHING QUIET AT ONE O'clock.
HARRISBURG, Pa, April 3,-At 11.30
n. m. Governor Pattison received this
telegram from General Wiley at Mount
PLEASANT: 81 cannot learn Of any dis
| turbance in the region. Wet and dis
agreeable. People generally remaining
at home. Five companies at More
wood, twelve companies here ready to
move in any direction. Coroner's in
! quest in session. Will advise later" A
telegram was received from Adiutant-
general McClelland at one o'clock stat
ing that he arrived at Mount Pleasant
at II O'Clock and that everything was
quiet.
Mr.. PLEASANT, Pa, April 4.--The situa-
| ton in the coke regions has not materially
changed within the last "a hours. The
| troops have charge of the coke companies
property and the feeling prevails that as
long as the militia remain there will be no
more lawlessness. The soldiers cannot
stay always, however, and it is feared that
unless the strike is settled before they are
called home the depredations will be re-
newed just as soon as their backs are
| turned, The feeling among the strikers
is intensely bitter, but they are careful to
commit no overt act and content them
selves with scowling at the militia and
mnttering in unintelligible tongues.
Some apprehensions are felt that an out
break will occur at the funeral of the
victims this afternoon. Strikers are mass
ing at Scottdae and the largest demonstra-
ton ever held in the coke country is ex-
pected. The funeral will start from Mt
| Pleasant at 2.30 o'clock and the cortege
will reach Scottdale about an hour ana
a-half later. The march to the Catholic
cemetery will then be taken up and no less
than 10000 coke workers will follow the
Landing and Smegle will conduct the ser
vices. The bodies will be buried In long
trench which was dug this morning
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent trouble. The saloons have been
closed for the day and five companies of
the Eighteenth Regiment under command
OF Col. Smith are now on the ground.
Yesterday and this morning thousands
of people viewed the bodies of the men
who were shot at Morewood. They lay in
the carriage house of Zimmerman's under
taking establishment. They were stretched
out side by side on long platform around
which the crowd surged in its eagerness to
get a glimpse of the dead men.
Each of the dead was dressed in robe
of brown material with a white collar,
necktie and shirt front showing under the
chin. They are all young men and with
the exception of Cressango Binero, the
Italian, and Valentine Zindle, will be
buried at Scottdale tomorrow by the
county in the Catholic cemetery at that
place. With the exception of Binero and
Rist all the dead wore CHASTITY grins that
seemed to awe the spectators. The natural
yellow compilations of the dead did not
seem to fall away with the ebb of their
life blood and as they lay upon the slab it
was hard to realize that they were the
victims of the awful tragedy at Nlorewood.
The faces of the dead We're Clearly
shaven and on the breast of each was
placed symbol of the Roman Catholic
Church while around the wrists of n few
were entwined the beads upon which they
had been accustomed to repeat their
prayers.
From o o'clock yesterday morning until
10 O'Clock to-day an unbroken line of
foreigners about one in ten of whom could
speak English, filed around the bier upon
which the dead lay. Sobs and groans were
heard on every side and crowds collected
about the clothing which the victims had
last worn, and Judging from their actions
they will prove vipers to the men who did
the shooting.
II is well known among the citizens that
the lives of Captain Lear and his deputies
would be in jeopardy should the militia
be withdrawn. The foreigners are excited
to a degree bordering on frenzy, and
although they are keeping all demonstra-
tons within the pale of the law there is
no doubt that they are determined to
break vengeance eventually on the people
who are responsible for the death of their
countrymen. The scene in the morgne is
one out of ten witnessed. OF the thousands
who viewed the remains scarcely man
came i'll whose countenance was not
drawn and scowling as he gazed on the
work of the rifles, and hundreds of
women, vented their anger and anguish in
