Between italian and Hungarian Laborers
In Pennsylvania-Both Parties Armed
to the Teeth-The Deadly stIIetto and
superior Numbers Secure Victory for
the Dagoes-Two Dead, Two MISSING r.
and Many Wounded.
HAZLETOS, Pa, April 17.-The trou-
bic which has been brewing between
the Huns and Italians of Milnesville
and vicinity for some time terminated
Saturday night in bloody battle. As
result two men are dead, two miss
inR-supposed to be lying at the bot
tom OF a mine hole-and three others
seriously inj ured.
About 10 o'clock Saturday night a
party of four Hungarians were coming
to Harleigh. They had reached a
point about half way down Fishers
bill, when they were attacked by
eleven Italians The latter instantly
opened fire. The firing was-a signal
fora concerted attack on the part of
the Italians who seemed to swarm from
the woods on every side. About
200 yards further down a half
dozen other Hungarians were
at the schoolhouse on the
Harleigh road and near by other Hun
garians were met The fight that en-
sued was terrific. The Hungarians,
who never go or the road unarmed, at
the first onslaught prepared to defend
themselves, and a volley of bullets
poured into the attacking Italians
served to check them for moment 1t
was only for n moment, however, as
the next instant they closed in upon
their adversaries and fierce hand-to-
hand conflict ensued, the Italian sti-
letto playing havoc with the Hunga-
rians. The latter were outnumbered
largely. and, becoming dismayed, broke
and ran precipitately.
The yells of the victorious Italians
echoed through the mountains and
soon attracted numer of villagers to
the scene. At each point of attack in
jured men were found lying on the
ground groaning from wounds received
in the melee.
Joseph Christie and Michael Morentzi
were picked up unconscious and
brought to the hospital in this city.
Christie was shot in the right shoulder
Morentzi's skull was fractured and he
died in the hospital.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Money and Mystery

NASHVILLE, April 1.-THE claim made
few days ago that the defunct Com
mercial National Bank was indebted to
the firm of Dobbins 6 Dazey in the sum
of $3.50, 900 or $500, 900 instead of the firm
being indebted to the bank, as at first
stated, has added new interest to the
mystery surrounding the affairs of the
bank, f. Potterfeld e. Company, and
the causes which led to the suspension
of the cotton firm named above. The
heroic efforts of most of the parties con-
cerned to cover up everything bearing
upon the mystery is causing feeling Of
Indignation, especially among business
men and financiers.
The most persistent efforts on the part
of the press to unravel the web which
envelops F. Porterfie1d & Co., and the
transactions of that now famous con-
cern, fail to bear fruit. just who COM
posed the firm outside of Porterfield no
one can tell, or will tell with any degree
of accuracy. The impression is grow
ing that there was never any corporate
firm of that name; that there was, IN
other words, no written agreement, but
that Porterfield and a number OF other
parties had sort of verbal understand
ing for speculative purposes, and that
the company" was made up of these
individuals in the background. Many
of the most prominent men in town
are said to have been in the swim for
revenue only.
Last summer pretty much the same
crowd was engaged in buying and bull
ing Tennessee per cent. bonds in the
hope that when the 6s and IS were re-
funded the IS would go to par, and they
would all get rich at one fell swoop.
This crowd was hustling around raising
all the money it could get for the pur-
pose of cornering as many Of the bonds
as possible. Several hundred thousand
dollars worth of these bonds were
bought up, some of them as high as so
cents. Like tho effort to bull Tennessee
Coal and Iron few months previously,
however, they did not have enough stuff
to prop up the deal, and the bottom fell
out. Porterfeld is believed to have
been caught in this slump along with
the others. He never made his appear
ance around the stock boards, but
played his part of the game from behind
the rise of the bonds is believed to have
had as much to do with Porterfeld's
downfall as anything else.

The financial result of the working
of the City and South London railway
for the half-year ended December 81
last shows an improvement upon that
| IN the corresponding period of 1891.
During the last six months of 1892 the
passenger receipts, in round figures.
amounted to $4,000, against 500, 600
for the last six months of 1891. The
corresponding total expenses were, in
round figures, $76, $50 and ST, $50; the
outcome being dividend at the rate of
ive-eighths per cent per annum to the
ordinary shareholders. Since the OPEN
ing of the line, some two years ago,

and the figure for the last half of 1S92

obtained by this company is said to be

Rust on the Grain.

A Brookings special says the botanist
OF the experiment station has Just re-
turned from Lake Preston, where he was
called to examine the outbreak of grain
rust which has caused SO much damage
in that vicinity. The case is an interest
ing one as it illustrates the connection
between the rust on barberry and that
OF the small grains. In this instance the
rust started from u series OF barberry
hedges and spread to the northwest and
and southeast, following the direction OF
the prevailing winds. At first the rusted
area was only a narrow strip a few miles
in length and less than a mile in width.
From here it has gradually spread until
the fields are affected over an area about
twenty miles long and five or six miles
vide, forming an irregular elipse.
Fields in the immediate vicinity OF the
hedges have rusted more or less Tor sew
eFal years, butthe trouble has never been
SO wide spread until this season.
