An Unevcntiul Night.
MOUNT PLEASANT. Pa, April g.
Quiet reigns throughout the coke regions
this morning. 4No outbreak has occurred
since the fatal raid yesterday morning.
While the situation is still grave the
presence of the militia has had reas-
surfing effect. There are two regiments
upon the ground. The uncertainty and
fear Of last night has
proved an awful strain upon
both strikers and citizens. No sleeping
was done in the entire region. but crowds
paraded the streets, or gathered in knots
at the corners, or disappeared in punches
over the dark hills, leaving doubt as TIC
their destination and intentions. The
foreigners are quiet, but are always in
crowds, and the fear of a momentary
outbreak which the entire regiment
could not quell, was only dissipatcd by
the first early dawn.
Another Dead-More Will Die.
So far ten deaths have occurred, and
several are in critical condition. The
funerals take place Saturday. Peter
Wise, master workman of the knights OF
Labor, says the entire coke country will
turn out, and about that time people
must take care.
The Inquest.
The inquest on the bodies was re
sumed this morning. Neither the sheriff
nor the coke companies were repre-,
sented. The labor leaders were repre-.
scnted in full force. Albert HALEY
sWore that the only shooting he heard
came from the guards. George Taylor
Waterman, testified to hearing two OF
three pistol shots before the regular
firing Of the guards. The witness was a
deputy and carried revolvcrs. He had
not known whether all the guards car
ried revolvers or not. This doubt, Gre
ated as to whether the pistols We're fired
by the guards or strikers, was received
with cheers by the crowd.
All Danger Not Yet Passed.
Notwithstanding the prevailing quiet
the wise ones say the trouble is not
ended. While the troops in this neighbor.
hood will command peace, other places
are unprotected. Gen. Wiley has tho
matter under consideration, and it
is possible that the Eighteenth
regiment will be moved ovel
TO or beyond the IoughiOheny river.
He is in communication with the author
tiles and will be kept advised of every
move. A special train will be kept at
his command which will enable him to
