RIOTS OF The COKE REGION.
Over a Hundred Arrests Knock Out
The Strikers.

Chief Engineer Paddock and One Hun
Rarian the Only Persons Killed-The
Story That the Corpses of Eight
Strikers Had Been Found in the
Woods Denied.
Uniontown, Pa, April Yesterdays
tragic events in the coke regions appear
to have had a SOLDERING effect on the
strikers, and it is hardly probable that
there will be a repetition of such bloody
work. With the discovery Of the bodies
of eight Hungarian strikers in the
woods near Dawson, the fatalities
of yesterday are increased to ten,
with many more seriously injured
than was first known The eight dead
strikers found this morning were I'M
doubtedly killed by the party pursuing
the Paddock murderers. No definite in
formation as to the cause Of the death of
the eight has been obtained up to this
time.
AN IMPORTANT ARREST.
The arrest of President Davis, of the
district organization has had a democrat
ling effect on the strikers. Davis was
landed in Jail here this morning at 9
O'Clock, charged with completely in the
murder Of Chief Engineer Paddock.
Davis was the ninety-tifth striker ar
rested for the Paddock murder. Davis
said he was sorry for yesterdays occur
rences, but the foreign element
could not be controlled. He feels
certain that he cannot be
connected with the killing of Paddock
He will ask for habeas corpus hearing
at once and expects to be discharged on
bail. The general feeling among the more
intelligent strikers is that they cannot
win against so much feeling stirred up
against them by yesterdays troubles, to-
gether with the unfortunate time for a
strike. The foreign element are not
daunted, and any further bloodshed will
be caused by them.
MODS AROUND THE PLANTS.
At all the plants where work is being
attempted, the strikers are gathering in
large numbers. At Mount Braddock, the
famous Hill farm mines, and Rainey's
Mover works, there are several hundred
strikers gathered about waiting for an at
tempt to operate the plants Deputies are
at all the plants armed with Winches-
ters. The operators have decided not to
try to run these works at present. AS a
consequence of the general feeling of dis
enlargement, the big raid planned for to-
day will not occur. Warrants are out for
ton, but only Davis and Secretary Darby
have been arrested.
THE STRIKE AT AN END.
Uniontown, Pa, April 5, II p. NJ
What was designed to be the greatest
strike ever known to the Connellsville
coke region has completely petered out,
and there is not now left enough of the
recent uprising of the discontinued for
eigners 10 make creditable death strug-
gle to a labor dispute.
l.. r. Davis district president of the
United Mine Workers Association Daniel
Derby, secretary of the association, and
1876 of their ignorant and dangerous fol-
lowers, are now crowded into the new
Jail here, charged with killing Joseph H.
Paddock, chief engineer of the H. c. Prick
Company The strike will undoubtedly
be officially declared off tomorrow.
The Hungarian killed by the sheriff's
posse after the Paddock murder was the
second and only life taken in the uprising
just suppressed. Two other Hungarians
were seriously wounded, but it is now
thought they will recover The report
that eight dead Hungarians were found
in trench in Woodland at Brownfield,
was not correct.
