MORE LAWLESSNESS.
THE COKE REGION AGAIN THE SCENE
OF CONFLICT.
Strikers Attack q PIant--A sharp En-
counter with Fire-Arms-Troops
TO he Called for.
py telegraph 20 the DIspa,ch.l

scorTDnr, Pa, April 1s.-The coke re-
gion is again the scene Of lawlessness and
excitement is OF fever heat. Last night q
band of about one hundred strikers as
saulted the Leisenring, No. 2. plant Of the
Prick Coke Company, Shots were ex-
changed and for O time the fight waged
furiously. The guards held their ground
and finally compelled the mob to beat re-
treat, but not until one Of the deputies was
dangerously injured, 80 seriously, indeed,
that 1t is thought he cannot recover.
TO CALL FOR TROOPS.
Sheriff Mccormack, up to this time, has
been trying 10 deal patiently with this
lawless element and 20 avoid, IL possible,
being charged with using undue authority.
But to-day he has about concluded to sur
render and call on the Governor for State
troops His deputies lives have been
placed in peril number Of times during
the past three or four days. A call for
troops will likely be made this afternoon.
LABOR LEADERS IN DESPAIR.
At the Offices OF the Frick and Mcclure
companies word is given out that few
more men reported for work this morning
at number Of the plants now running,
and that the shipments of coke will be in
creased few cars. The various meetings
held by the Labor League seem to have no
effect, at least not getting any Of the men
at work to quit. Master Workmen Wise
and Hay returned from the Whitney Il
Lippincott Works near Latrobe last night.
where they held meetings yesterday. They
are greatly depressed over their failure to
accomplish anything. The men yet re-
naming ont demanded that those OF work
be brought out and the Italians driven
away within two days or all the men would
claim their Jobs. The situation with the
leaders is becoming painfully serious, and
looks more like defeat every day.
REPORTED WRECK OF PROPERTY.
Reports have been received here that the
strikers blew up the water-tanks Of the
KYLE works of the Frick Company early
this morning. The reports say that no
guards were about and no ono was hurt.
The report has not yet been confirmed,
though it is known that the strikers there
are very bitter against the eighteen men
who have gone back to work.
NO TROOPS CALLED FOR YET.
HARRISBURG. Pa, April Ex-Governor
Pattison had heard nothing up to o'clock
this afternoon of further trouble in the
coke regions and has not had q request
for more troops. The Mt. Pleasant CON-
pany, of the Tenth regiment, he says, is
still on duty. Adiutant- General McClel-
land returned from the coke region to-day.

NONE INJURED.

No one was injured, however, and but
little actual damage was done, the strikers
contenting themselves with this porten-
tous warning to the workers below. Mon
day the companies will post notices that
unless the men return to work by Tuesday
they will no longer be looked upon as en-
ployes. This means cheap labor will be
imported, and as several hundred eviction
notices will also expire the strikers have
hard week before them.

ASSOCIATION AGAINST COLLEGE.
The Debate Between the Randoiphs sad
PhiIoIogians last Night.

The joint debate last night between the
Randolph Society of the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Philologian
Society of Richmond College was truly an
exciting one. The question was: "Resolred,
That the hope Of reward is O greater in
centive to action than the fear OF punish
ment.p
The presidents Of the Philologians and
Randolphs presided jointly.
Mr.. Z. Z. Dudley. Of the college, ap-
peared as the first speaker upon the az
frmatiye. Hope of reward" said he,
"is encouraging, elevating. and ennobling.
Fear of punishment is depressing, de-
grading. and restraining. Man will hazard
fortune and life under the hope OF re-
ward.n
Mr.. GoRDoS's vIKws.
Mr.. James w. Gordon, of the Randolphs,
said as first upon the negative: Fear OF
punishment not only controls man but
even reaches to the lower animals. There
are no technicalities in the court OF the
universe. IL would cost less to offer re-
wards as an incentive 10 action than II
does to punish through our law systems"
NIB. w1LLrAMs's ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Frank Williams, Of the Philologian
Society, came second upon the affirmative.
This gentleman is quite logical in debate.
He said that hope is living, moving ac-
tivity. Fear is quailing and destroys con-
fidence and action. while hope is the very
synonyme of " onward and upward"
Mr.. URNER's POSITION.
Mr.. @. II. Urner. of tho Randolphs, fol,
lowed upon the negative. Necessity"
said he, is often but another word for
fear, and this will arouse any man TO &C.
ton. II has been conceded by every ma
ton that fear of punishment is the greatest
incentive to education that can be devised.
One fears not to educated"
This was the second debate this session
between these two societies. The five
Judges stood three 10 two In favor of the
negative.
While the Philologians are considered ex,
cellent in debate fate seems to be against
them this year, as they have lost both con-
tests with the Randolphs.
