Depew Before tine Graud .Jurv.

New YORK, March 30-Chauncey NJ.
Depew was before the grand jury to-day as
"a witness in it's investigation into the re
cent New York Central tunnel accident.
Later, the jury waited upon Judge Fitzger-
sid and asked him a number of questions.
In the course of his reply, the Judge said
that if the directors of the railroad hav g
the control and management OF the road, it
is their duty to see that the requirements
of the law for the safety of the travelling
public are regarded. Amy person concerned
in the commission of an act is member of
the liable party. The law says that some
person shall be responsible. These people
control the management of this road They
have clear duty imposed upon them
by the statute. If they have violated
/ the statute an indictment should be found
and let me say that while it is proper in
| cases where persons of eminent standing
! in community have serious charges made
against them, it is we'll carefully to inquire
into all the particulars; yet the law requires
that the same law should be enforced
against them as against anyone else. If the
| facts ewarrant, an Indictment should be
| found"
| Judge F'itZgerald's words created stir in
court. In reply to further questions, the
court said the directors could be charged
with misdemeanor, as well as the corpora
ton.
There is no doubt in the mind of any
person who was in the court room wher
the jury filed out but that true bill will bs
! found against the directors of the road.

STRIKERS RIOTING
Some Fifteen Hundred Desperate
Men March
ITO THE Prick COMPANY WORKS
And Drive Away the Guards and Workers
The First Bomb Exploded-An Appeal
to Governor Pattison.

PITTsBURG, March 30-The most event
full day in the coke strike closing IN the
evening was adorable to the men. Al
though the three principal works were
raided. the labor leaders claim no precon-
certed attack was made. Early this morn
ing the strains of their favorite band awoke
all strikers on the road from Scottdale to
Bradford, and in a short while 800 men
followed their path, which was direct
TO the rundown plant Of the
II. G. Prick company. The works were
captured without struggle. A few workers
were struck with stones, and the strikers
dispersed without serious damage. Some
time later terrific report in the direction
Of the Leisenring works gave warning of
trouble there. and thousands gathered to
witness the work of the first bomb ex-
ploded by the strikers. The shock was
felt for several miles, but its only visible
effect was the tearing of a great
hole in front of non union workers
houses. After this the workmen
at Leisenring Nos. and were chased out
of the yards. The few men at the Leith
works were also driven out, though no
body was reported badly injured. Trouble
was also talked of at the Trotter plant, but
this was denied by the operators. The big
Norwood plant of the Frick company also
contributed more than its quota to the ex-
citing events of the day. About three
thousand strikers gathered about the place
and swept the armed deputies aside. Not
a blow was struck, not a shot fired,
as such move would have been fatal to
both guards and workers in the face of
5000 determined strikers. After the aban-
donment of the works by the guard, hours
Of mad wrecking followed. Tracks, doors
and in fact, everything movable was torn
and wrenched aside by the maddened
crowd, who only left after the plant had
been mutilated beyond immediate repair.

employed by that company and set Satur.

in the several raids. Probably the
ugliest feature was the number of women
participating, the most seriously injured
man being Pit Boss Cooper, who was
struck again and again by an iron bar in
the hands of an Infatuated woman. Secret
meetings were held tonight by the strikers
who will certainly prevent the intended re-
sumption.

Rioting in the Coke Regions.

PITTsBURG, March 30.-Nearly thousand
strikers attacked Tricks coke works at
Norwood at o'clock this morning They
destroyed the coke ovens and railway track,
and broke the windows of several houses
Several raiders were arrested. Riots are
also reported at Leisenring and Leith
Considerable property was destroyed.
There is great excitement throughout the
coke country and serious trouble is appre-
hended. The troubles have assumed a new
phase and now threaten to develop into a
war between the operators and labor organ
izations. Prick stated to-day that hereto
fore he had not antagonized labor but in
future he did not propose to stand idly by
and see his property destroyed.
A dispatch from Scotdale, Penn, saws
there is rioting at large number of coke
plants. A mob of l 800 Infatuated strikers
swept down on the Jimtown plant early
this morning, routed the workmen. as
saulted several men and threatened the
superintendent's life. A bomb was set off
at West Leisenring and the men were mott
fed not 10 go to work. The Leith works
near Uniontown were raided and the work
men put to flight. The labor leaders are
trying to allay the excitement, as other
riots are feared. The Frick Coke company
officials here have notified the sheriff to

Fighting In Assam. India.

CALCUTTA, March 30.-A dispatch from
Manibur, province OF Assam, says James
w. Quinton, chief commissioner of Assam,
has been investigating some of the troubles
which have occurred among the native
chlefs with view to arresting one of them
VINO has been instrumental in deposing the
raJah. The commissioner occupied a camp
garrlsoned by strong force of Goorkhas,
native infantry in the British service
Suddenly this camp was attacked by

lie, during which desperate fighting took
place, followed the onslaught. The GoOrk-

heavy odds and according 10 report 40 of
them were killed. Seven British officers

news OF the massacre was brought to
hohlma, on the Assam frontier, by two
Goorkhas. 1t originated in the feud be-
tween the Raiah of Manipur and a leading
tribal chief. The rajab was deposed, and
| appealed to the viceroy. Mr.. Quinton was
sent to settle the trouble and started from
headquarters at Shillong, escorted by the
Forty second and Forty fourth Goorkha
light Infantry. After crossing the frontier
| Qulnton summoned the chiefs to a durbar
at Manipur for the purpose of arresting
the rebellious chief The tribesmen, pre-
tending to obey the summons, mustered in
force and at midnight on the day before
the day on which the durbar was to be
held, suddenly attacked the camp of
commissioner Quinton, which lay
between kohim and Manipur An attempt
to surprise the camp failed, and the tribes

however, and kept up the attack and siege

Dnrlng the fight, scouts were sent out to
try to communicate VITA ShilIong, but
never returned. Manipur natives cut the
telegraph wires and killed the messengers.
Fugltlyes report that a general massacre
followed the taking of the camp. There is
reason for believing that the estimate
that 40 were killed is Incorrect.
| One account of the affair reports
that Commissioner Quinton and his
| stair were made prisoners. Another &C
count says that Colonel Skene, the com
nander, Commissioner Quinton, with his
son and daughter, Captain Berleau and six
officers were killed, the natives refusing to
give them quarter. The rebellious tribe is
| famous for cunning, cruelty and bravery.
Immediately upon receiving news of the
disaster, the viceroy at Simla summoned a
council. Two native regiments stationed
in Assam have already been dispatched to
Manipurt. The Third Bengal infantry
will start for the scene to-morro.
The viceroy of India has abandoned his
tour and started for Simla. Four regi-
ments and mountain battery are ordered
to Manipur.
