Thousands Have Got 1t,

PITrsBURG, Pa, March 24.-From the
street joke the grip has become gener-
ally dangerous disease. The death rate
has increased to a great extent and this
month will break the record by the
alarming increase of 80 per cent. Clos
ing at noon, 723 deaths have occurred in
Pittsburg and Allegheny in the ~ days
Of this month; 3S have been reported
within the last 24 hours, and many, no
doubt, have not been reported. The di-
rect causes given on the certificates are
grip, influenza, pneumonia, typhoid and
diphtheria. From the last named dis
ease one death per day has occurred
within the past three weeks at the Home
of the Friendless alone. There we're 81
funerals last Sunday, and there were not
one-half enough hearses to 90 around.
Respectfully covered wagons are used
anu carriages are daily at
a premium. In one large
clothing house twenty three clerks are
laid off with influenza, which is daily
growing more severe, and now the mum.
ber of victims is nearing the 5000 mark
in the city and suburbs. The physicians
are overworked, and some of them have
as high as forty to sixty cases of grip
alone. 1t is estimated that over 1000
people are suffering with the grip in
the towns along the Fort Wayre road.
At Bellevue and West Bellevue over
200 cases are reported, some of which
are of a very serious nature. At ELS
worth and Hays there are over one
hundred cases. There are also many
cases in Sewickley, and it is estimated
that fully 800 people are confined to
their homes. The reports from other
towns shows the result to be somewhat
similar, though none are so afflicted as

Meeting of Italians in New York.

MceIlns OF lCallanS Ill new YORK.
New YORK, March 2O.--The great hall
of Cooper Union was packed with 5000
Italians of New York and vicinity to-
night, called together to denounce last
Saturdays tragedy in New Orleans, not
withstanding drizzling rain. More than
as many more were unable to gain en-
trance to the hall. The hot blood of It.
ally, fred by the memory of the New Or
leans affair, could not be restrained out
side the building and shortly before 8
o'clock crush outside the doors broke
! them down and number of people were
injured in the rush. One hundred and
fifty policemen we're kept busy for
quarter of an hour to drive the new ar
rivals out of the hall. The speeches
were nearly all in italian and the denun-
ciatians of the New Orleans tragedy were
almost terrifying in their vehemence.
There was hardly sentence but that was
applauded to the echo and especially
when the speakers spoke of the necessity
for satisfaction for the killing. The
meeting was an orderly one barring the
great excitement shown. To pacify the
crowd without it was addressed from the
balcony by number of speakers. The
hall was draped with American and Ital-
l ian flags and festoons of black crepe.
There was much excitement.
ALMOST RIOT.
4 New YORK, March 2O.-That there
was danger was evident. just as the
meeting was about to close, resolutions
were being read when several persons
IN different parts of the hall arose and
asked to be allowed to speak. These
requests were refused by the chairman
The men who wanted to speak then ap-
pealed to their fellows, asking if they
meant to sit there inactive, ana urging
Ito act and avenge the wrongs done
in New Orleans. The instant they be-
gan to talk in this way, the prominent
men on the platform sprang into the
alsles and urged the audience to be
quiet and orderly. Meanwhile the police
had taken the riot incitors in hand and
slstled them ouf of the hall. It was
Ia most critical moment, and the
leading men of the meeting acted
4 none too soon. They admitted
after the meeting that, had they allowed
4 any one of those in the audience to have
spoken for five minutes, bloodshed would
have followed, as the men present would
have been so wrought up that they would
! have started a riot almost without know

Regarding Dakota Coal.

WAsHlNGToN, March 24---Census bull
letin No. 43, issued to- day, contains sta
tistics of the coal products west of the
Mississippi. Concerning North and
South Dakota the report says: "As as
certained, the coal areas of these states
lie in the western counties between a line
drawn from the Turtle mountains in the
north, through Burleigh county. to the
southern borders of the Black Hills, and
the western boundary line. The princi-
pal developments have been made along
the line of the Northern Pacific railway
at Bismarck and westward at points
along the Missouri river as far north as
Fort Stevenson and also in the vicinity
of Hay creek in the Black Hills. The
product is a fair grade of Ignite, or
brown coal, suitable for heating and
steam, and in some localities it is found
to be adapted for the production of gas.
The seams vary in thickness from a few
inches to twelve feet. The absence of
transportation facilities has hitherto
retarded the development of the
coal mining industry, but, un-
statehood, the increasing demands will
encourage railroad construction and
stimulate the more intelligent prosecu-
ton of the mining operations. The best
authorities upon the subject look for
ward to the near future when the de-
mands for fuel in these new and rapidly
developing states will be readily supplied
within their own borders. No coal min
ing operations we're reported by the
tenth census for Dakota. The reports
of the production, as published by the
United States geological surveys in
years past, have been mainly estimated.
The output of all the mines in North
and South Dakota during the calendar
year of 1889 was 2S,9O7 short tons, of
which 1892 tons were from ranchmens'
diggings and local mines. The total
product was valued at $41 ,431.

One Killed and Four Wounded.

P1rrsBURG, March 2l.--A desperate
shooting affray occurred in house at
Peters Run, near McKeesport, at 7
o'clock tonight, that resulted in the
killing Of one detective. the serious
wounding of another and the slight
wouuding Of two policemen and
woman. The shooting is the sequel of
bold burglary that occurred at Home
stead six weeks ago. A girl. named
Laura Hill, entered Smiths jewelry store
at Homestead, and began pricing various
articles of jewelry. While in converse.
ton with the girl, three men, who had
forced an entrance from the rear, struck
the proprietor down and bound him.
The lights were then turned out, and
the three, with the girl, completely
cleaned out the store, escaping with
some $4,000 in cash and jewelry. The
Gilkinson Detective agency was given
charge of the case, and. not long after,
a girl, who is known by several names,
was arrested i'll Harrisburg with sus-
picous lot of jewelry ON her person.
She was brought to McKeesport Jail,
and by judicious pumping" she
'squealed" OH her pals. Acting on her
instructions tonight, Chief Detective
Gilkinson, of the PitIsburg agency, with
Detective Pat. Murphy and two McKees.
port policemen drove quickly across the
river to Peters Run, reaching the house
of the leader in the robbery, A. G.. Budd,
alias Fitzsimmons, at about 7 o'clock.
Meanwhile, it is thought the girl, Hill,
warned Budd, for, when Gilklnson threw
open the door, Budd stood in the lower
room, apparently changing his clothes.
The moment that Budd saw Gilkin-
son he
THREW UP A REVOLVER
and fired, the ball entering Gilkinson's
forehead killing HIM instantly. Detec-
tive Murphy leaped over the prostrated
form in the doorway and facing Budd a
terrible duel at short range in the
smoke -darkened room followed. Budd
emptied one revolver and his wife, who
was in the room, ran to his side with
another. Murphy, though badly wound
ed, had also emptied his pistol, and
stopping to the dead body of his chief,
drew his revolver and renewed the firing.
He was firing blindly into the smoke,
however, while the burglar centered ali
of his shots toward the door. Suddenly
a woman screamed and with curse
Budd
PLANTED A BULLET
into Murphy's breast, who fell back over
Gilkinson's body. During the panic
that siezed the two policemen at this sec
ond loss to their ranks, Budd threw some
clothes over his arm and escaped. A re-
view of the room showed the place to be
a pepper box of holes. The bullets had
struck in every conceivable place; Gill
kinson was dead; Pat Murphy was shot
in the forehead, chin and breast,
though not fatally, while the woman re-
ceived a shot in her arm, and two police
men were slightly wounded by flying
bullets. The woman was taken to Jail,
while kilograms were sent all over three
states to intercept Budd, who is described
as five foot five inches in height, dark
complexion and eyes and weighing only
13O pounds. He is noted crook and at
the time was wanted for previous bur-
glary.

last sickness dated from Wednesday
night when he was obliged to leave the

PITrsBURG, Pa, March 23.-Excite-

Gilkinson and the shooting of the Off
GERS. There seems to be an impenetra-
BILE mystery surrounding the nervy man
Fitzsimmons, or Budd, who fought the
officers. Budd claims he awoke out of
sleep to see his wife struggling with two
men and he fired, not knowing who they
were. He has travelled all over the world
and seems to be known generally, yet no
one can place him or even give his right
name. The watches, jewelry and silks
have been found at the house of Mrs.
Clark, in Homestead where he was in
hiding, but the great bulk of the $4,000
robbery is missing. Laura Hill, who
first peached on Budd, has closed up,
and Budd himself nurses a badly wound
ed shoulder and says nothing.
When detectives searched his house
they found papers showing that Fred

Suddenly woman tottered to the open

people in the yard below saw the woman
Great clouds of smoke whirled about her
head in suff0cating volumes, and the crowd
called upon her to jump.
She hesitated, but extended the bundle at
arms length. from which at that moment
there came a faint cry. 1t was a baby'S
voice.
g Save my childp' implored the woman.
Instantly a blanket was procured and
strong men held its corners.
Drop i'll" they shouted.
With her face averted, the agonZed and
imperiled mother let the baby fall. Down
the little one tuttered like n white winged
wounded bird, with the despairing cry of
Mamma" upon its lips. Lightly it struck
the blanket and moment later it was taken
up safe and sound, but sobbing, by a
motherly looking woman in the throng.
1t required but a few minutes to raise a

from her perlluuS position and restore her
