DARKNESS IN NEW BEDFORD.
Wires Down and Car Tracks Blocked as
the Result of Saturdays Storm.

New Bedford, Mass, January 2S.-This
city tonight was in darkness. Chief En-
gineer Macy decided this afternoon that
as many telephone and fire alarm wires
were still down as the result of yester-
days snow storm, it would not be safe
to allow the electric currents to be turned
on. Last night the lights from the store
windows threw their brightness in the
streets, but tonight, with all the stores
closed, the streets were very cheerless.
New Bedford is cut off from telephone
connection with Wareham and on the
Cape. Fearful havoc was effected on the
telephone wires in the centre of the city.
No such sleighing has been had here for
years. Not until this afternoon were the
first cars of the day run on the main
line of the electric railroad. The Vine
yard steamer, the Monohansett arrived
in port today, with delayed passengers,
and made return trip. The storm on
the island is reported to be severe. Is

A sensation has been caused in Pome-
roy, Ia, by the publication of the fact
that the cyclone relief committee there
had voted to pay it's members $40O each

Warrants of deportation to the num-

1t can now be said definitely thai the
omission of Secretary Hastings of the
Hawaiian legation in Washington from
the list of invitations to the recent state
dinner at the White House was inten-

was ignored by direction of President
Cleveland.

the latter report, his widow and child
will receive $500 ON account of his
death. The bullet could not have taken
the course it did had it come from the
mine protectors and it is suspected that
the bullet was fired from the ranks of
the rioters. Two reasons are assigned for
the deed, one, that he fell victim to
jealousy of fellow Austrian, and the
other, that he was branded as a traitor
or as one about to become one All
doubts concerning the alleged foul play
will be related at the inquest Thursday.
Upon the request in numerously signed
petition from .Bridgeville, a special
guard that town tonight. The citizens
fear an assault. This is the town which
mustered twenty voluntary deputies
while Schults's coal tipple was in flames
and ran down the mob of rioters, captur-
ing number. Through scouts it was
learned today that the dispersed rioters
had reassembled at the rendezvous in
Heidelburg and had sworn to be
revenged on the citizenss of Bridgeville.
The rioters decided to revenge the death
OF their comrade at the Beading mines
and pledged themselves to destroy the
Beading coal tipple if it takes months.
Special precautions are being taken in
both districts tonight. At Bridgeville,
deputies with REINFORCED numbers are
on duty with the county deputies. At
the Beading mines four deputies are
on guard. Dozens of citizens of the
Beading mining hamlet are ready to re-
spond upon signal from Deputy Dean.
Among them are number of foreigners
entirely out of sympathy with their an
archist brethren. Ihe have pledged
themselves to shoot down their country
men if necessary to save the tipple. Half
the mem bers of Company K, at Mans
field this morning, were sworn in
as deputies and also twenty-five Mans
field citizens. The militia representa-
tives were notified to be ready to move at
a moments notice and if necessary the
force will be increased by a company
from Pittsburg.
Evidence is being secured which goes
to prove that an organization of anar-
chists has been in existence in the valley
for several years, though conducted very
secretly. 1t is anarchist in spirit, and is,
in great measure. responsible for the
the question of wages being
seized upon merely as pretext for out
breaks. The report is current that the
next incursion of the rioters will be un-

Mine Property Heavily Guarded the Death
of One of the Rioters.
Mansfield, Pa, January 2S.-News has
arrived that BATTLE is in progress at W..
J.Steen's mines, Toms run, between
rioters and deputies. Several hundred
people throng the streets in front of the
Squire's Office, and large crowd are
gathered about the station to learn the
latest news from the skirmish. The re-
port of the affray was brought by W. j.
Steen, who came to Mansfield to secure
more deputies. Is is said that in the en-
gagement a.number of shots were fired.
The result has not been learned. Mr..
Steen reported that number of rioters
had been captured and were locked
up in empty freight cars. Sheriff
Richards is going to the scene.
Franz Josef Stepig, rioter. was shot
in the stomach during the battle at the
Seadling mines yesterday and died in
the tenement house to which he was
carried by his comrades. He had no
medical attendance. 1t is said attempts
were made TO secure doctors in Mansfield,
Woodville and Bridgeville without sue
cess, because, it is alleged, the physicians
were afraid to visit the terrorized dis
tricts Before he expired, Stepig, made
a confession to fellow countrymen. He
said he had been intimidated by terrible
threats into joining the rioters. He was
among the number who under took the
Beading assault, and was in front of the
line pushing forward when shot down.
His family live at TOMS run, on
property owned by thine. Stepig was an
Austrian by birth and a naturalized
citizen. Report has it that he was a
good, industrious, law-abiding citizen.

IN ST. PETERS.
The Pope Spoke of the Recent Disturbance
In Italy.

Rome, January 2s.-The Pope delivered
in st. Peters today an address suggested
by the recent disturbances in Italy. He
expressed himself with great tact and
frankness when he referred to current
affairs and his words impressed deep
ly the minds of all present. His Holiness
spoke substantially as follows: aThe
present occasion gives us fresh proof of
the devotion of the Roman people to
whom we wish all blessings. 1t lis easy
to understand our bitterness when we
think of the trying conditions in Rome.
aggravated by the general state of the
peninsula. Let us hope that the present
disasters can be repaired and order re-
stored in those districts which are now
troubled. We cannot, on this occasion.
omit to recall the past when the presence
of the Popes gave Rome, not merely
for years but for CENTRES, a glorious and
tranquil prosperity. That prosperity
was the outcome of neither chance nor
the institutions of man. Life was
calm, well ordered and nothing was
wanting for the we'll being of the people,
The opposite is true of tine present. If
we would profit by bitter experience let
us trace the evils to their origin and seek
an efectual remedy. Religious ruin, in
voked and designed, has brought moral
and material ruin. Not only justice but
political expediency must demand the
return of the nation to the relation of
its fathers with mutual confidence and
affection.

A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.
A Man Gives a Little Girl Beer and
Endeavors to be Familiar.

Endeavors to be Familiar.
w. B. Rising was arrested on
West Commerce street last even
ing, by Officer Whitecotton, and
lodged in the city jail, on the
charge Of disorderly conduct. He
was arraigned before the city re-
corder this morning. and after
some sensational evidence had
been heard, was assessed a fine Of
500.
1t seems from the evidence that
Rising has been making frequent
calls at the residence of Mrs.
Krampe, on West Houston street.
The lady had confidence in the
man, and when he asked, yesterday
afternoon, if he could take her
daughter, Bertha, aged 13 years,
out to see the balloon ascension, she
gave her consent.
About 2:3O o'clock, Rising and
the little girl started out to the
springs. While on the grounds,
the man permitted the child to
drink several glasses of beer, and
the result was that she be-
came intoxicated. After the bal
loon ascension they returned on a
San Pedro avenue car to the city,
and went to the City Hall res
taurant, where supper was ordered.
The girl was very drunk at the
time, and Rising insisted that she
drink some more beer, but Mr.. JOr-
dan, the proprietor of the res
taurant, would not send for the
drink.
After supper Rising took the
child out and the two walked
down the street. They were tired
and took seats on the curbing.
Officer White Cotton was patrol
ing his beat and passed the couple
just in time to see the man acting
in disgraceful and inhuman
manner. He grabbed the man
and took him to the lock up and
sent the girl to the home of her
parents.
This morning Rising appeared
before Recorder Shardein, and the
court room was filed with eager
spectators. When the evidence of
the child was given a feeling OF
! anger was around in all parts of
the room. Judge Shardein, with
out any hesitation, said: "I'll fine
you 800, and if it is repeated, I'll
make it the full extent of the ordi-
nance.
