IN THE EAST.

THE outbreaks Of rioters In the coke
regions at Leisenring, Kyle and Leith,
In which was demonstrated the weak
ness OF the civil authorities, In the face
OF such mobs as committed the depreda-
tions at these places. forced Sheriff Nc
Cormick to do what he had done his best
to avoid-call on Gov. Pattison for mill
tary aid. One of the most daring and
lawless acts of the strike took place at
Lefth. In order to disperse the threaten
ing mob Deputies Smith and Rice ar
rested one OF them. His companions at
tackled the deputies, beat them with
clubs and stones, and rescued the pris-
oner. Deputy Smith was probably ia
tally injured.
A FRIGHTFUL wreck occurred ON the
Lake Shore railroad at Kipton station,
about forty miles west of Cleveland, in
which six postal clerks. two engineers
and one fireman were killed. The fast
mail train bound east collided with the
Toledo express just as the latter train
was about to pull on siding to let the
fast mail pass. The fast mail was run
ming full speed, and the force of the col
lision was so great that both engines,
three mail cars and one baggage car
were completely wrecked. None OF the
passenger cars left the track and none
Of the passengers received serious in
jurtes.
The many breaks in the ranks of the
works at Scottdale, Pa, is having most
disheartening effect upon the men. Evic-
ton notices have been served at nearly
al H.. f,>E
OF the region, aud . number Of peaceful
evictions have taken place. A snag was
struck At Morgan, however, and the
deputies telegraphed that they were In
fear of their lives. The sheriff wired
them to hold of until he can appear with
reinforcements, when evictions will be
begun by the Wholesale.
WHEN the steamer Idler swung out
from the pier in Hoboken the other day
several Of the crew were cleaning up
pools of blood In the steerage. A double
tragedy had been enacted there. Phillip
O'Hanacker had killed Mrs. Catherine
Barth and then sent bullet through his
own brain. The two had eloped from
Germany together . year ago. The
woman tired of her bargain and started
to return to husband and children, but
was prevented 1T the last moment by the
double crime.
GENERAL Master Workman T. v. Pow
derly, Of tho Knights Of Labor, made q
fierce attack on the board of arbitration
of New York In the last issue Of the off,
cial journal Of the order. After speak
ing OF the lockout Of knights by the
clothing manufacturers OF Rochester
and the remarkable hurry evinccd by
the board Of arbitration in inquiry into
1t, he says the board is made up Of kmen
who are actuated more by malice and
spite than by sense of justice, and that
the long continuance Of such body In
power is dangerous to all interests.
THE exodus Of oil but two companies
of state troops from the neighborhood of
Scottdale. coupled with the large con-
signment of relief money, has braced the
backbones of the $4,000 coke strikers
still out. As the soldiers boarded the
train In squads bitter epithets were
hurled after them. The operators are
growing nervous and have doubled the
guards at several points. Small sized
riots are now of nightly occurrence, gem
orally led by women, who inflict no great
damage.
