fsrusi,ionni trascuy took pidrE II
Coaio. City Marshal Cook was shot
and instantly killed by J. 4. Strecter
shoemaker. There were no wit.
nesses to the tragedy, aud it is difficult
to learn the cause Of the deed.
S,reeter claims that the marshal
came into his shop few minutes be
fore the shooting and demanded that
he throw up his hands. Believing
that he was about to be robbed, Street
or claims, he grabbed revolver which
lay at his side, and fired. This story
is not given much credence by those
who were acquainted with Cook.
Marshal Cook was formerly a fore.
uan in the South Park shops at Como.
Two years ago he was elected to the
Office of city marshal, and on Tuesday
las, he was reelected. lie was man
about - years old and was a quiet and
well.liked official. Strester has also
lived in Como for number Of years
and was considered II peaceablc man.
lie was said to be somewhat eccentric
at times, There was no known trouble
between the two men.

A later dispatch from Uniontown
says:
Yesterdays tragic events in the coal
regions appear to have had a SOLDERING
probable that there will be repetition
Of such bloody work. With the dis
covery Of the bodies Of eight Hungar-
ian strikers in the woods near Dawson
the deaths are increased to ten, with
many more wounded. The eight dead
strikers found were undoubtedly
killed by the pursuing party after tho
Paddock murderers, and at least II in
all have or will pay the highest pen
atty for the brutal crime without trial
by jury. No definite information as
to the cause Of the death Of the eight
men has been obtained up to this
time.
The general feeling among the more
intelligent strikers is that they cannot
win against such sentiment stirred up
against them by yesterdays trouble,
together with the unpropitious time
for strike. The foreign element,
however, are nothing daunted and fur.
Their bloodshed will DO caused by
them. As consequence Of the gen.
eral feeling Of encouragement the big
raid planned for to-day will not occur.
Warrants arc out for all the officers
Of the strikers organization, but only
Davis and Secretary Darby have been
arrested. Since the killing Of Pad
dock company officials are keeping
very close and never venture out I'M
less strongly guarded. They fear an
attempt on their lives by the Hun.

RIOTOUS COKE WORKERS
THEY WILL RULE OR RUIN.
The Connsisvilis Region In Psnnsyivsais
. Scene OF Lawlessnsss
and Violence.

As the result Of the striking Of many
thousand coke workers there is a
reign Of terror in the Connelsville dis
trict in Pennsylvania. The strike
took effect on the second and rioting
commenced almost Immediately. Most
Of the strikers are foreigners Of the
more ignorant class who have no re-
gard whatever for law or the rights Of
others.
Dispatches from Uniontown on the
4th said:
1t would take columns to tell in de-
tail the exciting events Of to-day in
the Connelsville region. At least
nine lives have been sacrificed during
the past twelve hours. Unless the
strong arm Of the military interferes
the dead will be counted by scores by
tomorrow.
The rioting began early this morn
ing, but the climax was not reached
until 3 o'clock this afternoon when a
body Of strikers numbering several
hundred marched on the Davidson
works of the H. G. Frick Coke Com
pany at Connelsville, Fayette county,
when men were working. When the
strikers approached they were ordered
to stop They came on and tried to
get at the men at the ovens. The
deputies fred; the strikers returned
the FIRE and charged, driving the depu-
ties and men from the plant.
j. H. Davidson, the chief engineer
was struck on the head by stone and
then beaten to death. His body was
thrown into an oven and an attempt
made to burn it. Before this was ac-
complished the deputies returned with
reinforcements aud drove the men
away. They overlook the strikers
half mile from Davidson and opened
FIRE on them. The strikers fired in re
turn, but ran on. Four strikers fell,
two being killed and two others fatally
wounded.
All of the efforts Of the dcputie.
and more level headed citizens were
required to prevent the lynching Of
eleven strikers who were taken to Con
nelsville. The law-abidins element
had their way and at 8 o'clock special
train arrived with si1ty-four Of the
mob who killed Paddock.
At Alverton the coke drawers at the
Denny coke plant were attacked by {
riotous mob Of sixty Hungarian wo
men, armed with revolvers, clubs ant
pokers. The men hastily retreated
but were followed by the triumphan,
mob. Men were knocked down and
dinner buckets and coke forks were
thrown into the ovens.
A similar scene was enacted at tn,
Mayfeld and Donnelly plants on the
Mount Pleasant branch. Here on,
Hungarian was killed.

THE WESTERN REGION.
JUDGE cALDweLL's DECISION.
It Is In Favor of the Union Pacific EN-
ployes.

It Is In Favor OF the Union Pacific EN-
ployes.
Judge Caldwcll's decision in the
Union Pacific wage schedule case was
rendered on the 9th, and was a com
plete victory for the employees.
The United States court room was
thronged with railroad men, who lis
tened intently to the reading of the
opinion, which was very lengthy, COM
prising over 1000 words. After stat
ing the facts Of the road coming into
the hands of the receivers, Judge
Caldwell says:
"Whena road comes under the man.
agement of court, on which the en-
ployes are conceded to possess all
these qualifications, and that concess.
ion is made in the fullest manner here,
the court will not, upon light or triv'
ial grounds, dispense with their ser
vices or reduce their wages, and when
the schedule or wages in force ut the
time the court assumes the man
agement of the road is the result Of {
mutual agreement between the com
pany and the employees, which has
been in force for years, the court will
presume that the schedule is reasoua
BILE and just, and that any one disput
ing that presumption will be required
to overthrow it by satisfactory proof
This. the court contends, has not beer
done by the receivers, although they
had all recommended that cut b.
made. 1t is the courts belief thai
the receivers made the request igno
rantly, as only one Of them is practi
cal railroad man, and their opinion.
upon the question of wage schedules
is practically of little value.
''The court shares in their anxiety
to have an economical administration
of this trust, to the end that those who
own the property and have liens upor
it may get out Of it what is fairly theil
due, but to accomplish this desirable
result the wages Of the men must NO
be reduced below reasonable ant
just compensation for their services
They must be paid fair wages, th"syi
no dividends are paid % u c stock ant

CONVICT AND A RAZOR.
Shocking Tragedy at Lebanon-Mrs.
Garrett Murdered by Her
Husband.

LEBANON. Sept 19.-Mrs. Charles
Garrett was murdered here at 8 o'clock
this morning by her husband, who cut
her throat from ear to ear. GArret
had just been released from the eastern
penitentiary, after serving three and a
half years for assaulting Israel Light,
and arrived here from Philadelphia at
midnight. He met a number of old
time companions who told him that
during his incarceration his wife had
been unfaithful.
Mrs. Garrett lived at Third and
Chestnut Streets and she was standin 9
at the doorway when her husband
came down the street. She uttered a
scream of terror and ran. He followed
and caught her in the yard of neigh
Dor. Grabbing her by the hair be bore
her to the ground, and whipping out q
razor threw it from ear to ear. She
staggered few feet, when she fell in o
bloody pool and expired. This murder
was witnessed by several persons, but
they seemed powerless to interfere.
This afternoon three men were ar
rested at Pine Grove, and it was be.
lieved that one of them was the mur.
derer. He gave his name as William
Garrett and answered the description
of the husband. 1t was expected that
he would he brought in on the after
noon train, but tho officers failed to
arrive with him and 400 people who
had gathered at the depot were disap
pointed
Mrs. Garrett was but 81 years of age
and possessed of considerable beauty.
Garrett was worthless fellow.

the demurrers OF brokers, Elverton R.
Chapman. of New York, and John
MaCartney. of this city, to the indict-
ments charging them with unlaw-
fully refusing to answer questions
before the senate sugar invsstigat-
ing committee, will be argued in
the district Of Columbia criminal
court. The arguments will be on
constitutional grounds - that is, the
contention will be that the senate CON-
mittee had no power to compel wit.
nesses to answer questions In the
event that the demurrers are sustained
no further action will be taken in the
matter, as the government has not the
right of appeal in criminal case.
Should the decision of the court be
against the defendants, the cases will
be carried to the court of appeals. and
if that court, too, decides against them,
the matter will go to the supreme
court of the United States.
