En ,szzler Zen Gives Himself Up to
 New York Authorities.
 NEW YORK, March William T. zell, the defaulting secretary and treasurer of the Lehigh and Wilkes barre Coal company, who surrendered to Superintendent Byrnes on Monday, was arraigned charged with forging a check for $6000 on Aug, 4, 1893. This was one of the many items, in the sum of S93,000, which Zell confessed to having taken from the company. The stub of the check book recited falsely that the money was paid to E. W. Mar pie, the company's paymaster at Wilkesbarre. The check was really paid at the First National bank upon Zell's order.
 Zell waived examination and was held in $l0, 900 bail, He was unable to furnish bond and was taken to the Tombs to await the action of the grand jury. It is expected that an indictment will be found against him in a few days. Zell, to all appearances, was the least interested in the proceedings of any of those present. Miss Jessie Hoffman, who left New York with Zell in January, returned about two weeks afterward. Suspicion was first aroused by Zell's conduct and reports furnished by the Fidelity and Casualty comnanv

 Joseph Pitsolotto went into the shop at midnight to close up the place, when an explosion occurred. His brother and his wife ran into the place and dis covered Joseph lying on the floor with blood flowing from dozen ragged wounds in the abdomen and chest. Just as Salvador Pitsolotto stopped over his brothers body there was an other explosion and he, too, fell with his head almost blown from his body. Both men were in the glare of the lamps of the store, while just beyond the door was entirely dark. Mrs. Pit solotto, however, recognized their rival, Gaprano. running by the door with a gun in his hands. Both the Pittsolotto brothers died almost in- stantly.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
C0xeyites Enter the Grounds, But Not
The Mansion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May q
Representatives of the Coxey Army
made their first appearance at the
White House to-day. Their visit
was devoid of all excitement and
was apparently unnoticed by many
people in the immediate vicinity.
There were two of them and their
general appearance established their
identity beyond all question. Rough
ly dressed and trayel-stained, the
two men wore their Coxey badges
conspicuously displayed. One also
wore a miniature American flag on
his coat lapel, and the other had a
red, white and blue rosette pinned
over his cotton badge. The two
weary pilgrims sauntered leisurely
up the west drive from the avenue
about Il O'Clock and gazed admir-
ingly on their beautiful surround
ings.
AS they neared the mansion they
saw three men in citizens dress
standing just off the walk few feet
from the portico. They were making
themselves at home, and the Coxey
soldiers innocently supposed that
they were in charge of the mansion
and grounds. Approaching the
group the Commonwealers inquired
if they could go into the house,"
"What do you want to goin for?'
"Oh, to look around," was an
swered. One said he had seen the
East room some years ago and
| merely wanted to show it to his COM
panion, who was from the far West
and had never been in Washington
| before.
Although they did not know it
1
the three men who were interrogat
ing them were Secret Service Of
ficers, specially assigned to look
after suspicious characters. They
told the Coxeyites that it was not at
all probable that they could enter
the house to day and persuaded
them not to make the attempt, not
withstanding the doors were wide
lopen and people freely passing in
and out at the time. Without at
tempting to argue the question the
two ''men of peace" accepted the
situation gracefully and resumed
their walk around the semicirculal
drive into the avenue again.
Later in the day about half
dozen more of the Commonwealers
walked through the grounds in front
of the White House. They made
no attempt to enter the mansion
and did not even ask any questions
of the policemen. The President
held his usual reception in the East
room this afternoon and shook hands
with 200 persons, mostly of the fail
sex. There were no Coxeyites ir
line.
