The Piping.

The piping for the water works is
coming in with a rush. Some days
ago several cars of piping were I'M
loaded. Wednesday evening the
Wdtsuga Water Co. unloaded four
car loads of heavy piping in four
hours. Yesterday they received the
bill of lading for two hundred and
fifty tons more which is enroute to the

as though it will not be long until
Johnson City is supplied with a per-
onnial flow from the cool sparkling
streams OF Buffalo mountains.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 16 Another
break in the ranks OF the coke strikers
occurred at Summit Plant Of Frick
& CO., which shut down when the
rioting began. Work was resumed
this morning With forty-eight men, or
about one.third OF the men necessary
to run the works in full.
Labor leaders who denied that the
Tyrone works were in operation with
a full quota Of men now admit that 1t
is true. Frick reports more men at
work today than any day yet. The
best evidence that Prick & Go. are
making coke is found on the books 6i

cars we're shipped last Saturday, and
102 yesterday.
Reports have just come in that the
men remaining out will take a secret
ballot this afternoon to determine
whether to remain out or return &c
work. 1t is said the feeling lie strong
against a continuance of the strike,
seventy-nine families we're served
yesterday with notices OF eviction
and the work will be continued unit

about the despatch, said to be a
straight back.down on the part OF the
Italian Government, has come by
press-cable from Rome. 1t is said
that one reason why this despatch il
withheld from the public by Mr.
Blaine is, that it raised a question Of
veracity between Baron Fava, the re-
called Italian minister and Mr.. Blaine
and makes livery plain that one or
the other of them has been handling
the truth very carelessly, Baron Favs
is still in Washington but he refuses tn

patch WI not be made public until
after his reply has been prepared and

The official count of the late
vote in Ohio shows that nearly
thirty thousand more votes were
cast for Governor than for any
other state officer. The eXplana-
tion of this fact lies in the discov-
cry that these voters marked the
Governor only on their ballots
stamping his name instead of the
purty's. This is u serious matter
and shows hereafter the necessity
of a better education in the use Of
the secret ballot to be obtained
only by practice and trial. Not
withstanding this fact gave Major
Mckinley several thousand votes
not cast for the other candidates
on his ticket, yet in the aggregate
he ran several thousand behind his
ticket. Verify protection failed to
protect the major.
