TEN PERSONS WOUNDED.
An Italian Empties His Revolver
Among a Crowd of Dancers.

HAZELTON, Pa, July 15.-While attend
ing a picnic at Landmesser's Park last
night, Mike Roaman, an Italian, was
knocked down the dancing floor. Clio
vanni Perna, a fellow-countryman, instant
ly drew his revolver. The platform was
then crowded with men and women, who
were forming 10 take part in the dance.
Perna fired point blank at Benjamin Fan
cock, the ball hitting him in the neck. The
dancers broke and ran. Perna, thinking he
was about to be attacked began firing
right and left, enptying his revolver of five
bullets. 1t is known that ten persons were
wounded. AS far as can be learned their
names are: Benjamin Hancock, shot in the
neck; Clifford Minnick, shot in the left
thigh; ]. T. Williams (colored), shot in the
leg; j. Matthews, shot in the leg; William
Rakeand, shot in the knee. A fifteen-year-
old boy named Cook was shot in the side
and an unknown woman was shot in the
hip.
AS Perna reached the exit. a crowd OF
frenzied men sprang upon him, and kicked
and dubbed him without mercy. The cry
of lynch him. was taken up immedla ately.
Messengers went in search Of a rope and
the threat would have been carried out but

SUICIDE OF A GERMAN.
Bernhard 4. Gentsch. Ex-POstmaSter of
Buffalo, Shoots Himself.

BUFFALO, n. Y, July 15.-Bernhard F.
Gentsch, who finished his term as post
master of Buffalo on July l last, who was
an ex-member of the Assembly, a large
manufacturer, one of the best known Ger
mans in Buffalo and a prominent Repub-
lican, killed himself in a field back of his
house on Seneca street, between 10 o'clock
this morning and o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Gentsch left home at 10 o'clock, tell
ing his wife that he would take a stroll
through his grounds neighbor found his
body under a tree on the bank of Buffalo
creek. He had shot himself in his right
temple.
Mr.. Gentsch was vice president of the
Hydraulic Bank. On his advice the bank
loaned $1,000 to a produce company. Later
the bank gave the company a further loan
of $4,000 and stood to lose the $4,000.
GentSch owned a small amount of stock in
the company, and he was fearful lest his
action in recommending the loan might
be construed as dishonest. His brooding
undoubtedly unbalanced his mind
Bernhard Gentsch was born in Germany
and came to this country when eighteen
years old. He was in the Assembly in 1879.
President Harrison appointed him post
master in June, 1890, and he was allowed
TO complete his term of four years. He was
actively involved in Republican politics in
this city for many years.

VILE-TONGUED PRIEST.
Calls Members of His Congregation
Dogs, Rats, Devils and Monkeys.

READING, Pa, July 15-In answer to
request from the Mayor to Archbishop
Ryan, asking him to interpose to settle
the difficulties in st. Marys Polish Cath
olic Church, reply has been received in
which the Archbishop says that before
ceiying the Mayors letter he had deter
mined to close the church temporarily.
He expresses regret that so much annoy
ance should have been caused by the dis
orderly element of the church. 1t was de-
cided at a meeting of those opposed to
Father JanausklewiscZ that hereafter they
would attend the services assertion
of their rights. Accordingly, a hundred or
more of them went to the church this
morning for mass. The priest, hearing
of this, was afraid to celebrate mass, and
sent one of his domestics to the church
to say that he would not attend.
Another warrant was issued for the
priest to-day on the charge of railecy.
Among other things, the warrant charges
that Father JanausklewiscZ on one occa-
sion purchased a monkey and lkened the
deponent and other members Of the congre-
cation to that monkey. On another occa-
sion he called a certain lady by an abusive
name, when she was present with a babe
in arms, and called the latter a monkey
and the ladyS husband a dog He also
called other members of the congregation
devils, dogs, rats and other opprobrous
and obscene epithets. During the past two
years he caused unnecessary disturbances
by using such language.

NEW YORK LABORITEs.
They Crftfcfse Cleveland, Arthur,
Debs and Sovereign.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The Central La
Dor Union met in Clarendon Hall to-day.
Hardly had the meeting been called to or
der and before any business was trans
acted, when Philip Kelley. of the Theat-
rical Employees Protective Association,
started the ball rolling by saying that the
strike was decided success until Presi-
dent Cleveland interfered. IF Chief Ar
thur had confirmed his convictions, the
strike would have been won in twenty
four hours" he declared.
Henry Weisman, of the Bakers Union,
blamed Debs for calling the strike off.
When Debs declared the strike or" he
SAID, 1t was a blow at organized labor in
this country. If Debs had been wise he
would have conferred with the Federation
of Labor as well as the knights of La
Dor, instead of forming partnership with
sovereign. Sovereign assumed too much
when he said he would call out mill
lion men in this country. He has not the
power to do so'
Master Workman J. B. Archibald said
that Debs conducted the strike admirably
until labor lent a helping hand by sending
leaders from New York, and then the
strike went TO pieces. Meyer, Dampff and
Barondess hoped that some of these lead
ers would be called to account for their
action,

ANOTHER STRIKE PROBABLE.
Amalgamated Association Said to Be
Preparing to Make Trouble.

PITTSBURG, July 15.-Another strike is
imminent in Pittsburg and vicinity, but it
will have no connection with the Debs
movement. If predictions from reliable
sources prove true the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers will
attempt on about Aug. / to shut down
all mills where puddlers are working for
less than S375 To accomplish this end AS
sistant President Patrick McEvoy,
of the Amalgamated, whose home
is in Youngstown, has been
here for some time organizing
nonunion mills, and Ii is claimed the move
ment has been very successful. The work
of organizing has been going on secretly,
but the fact leaked out to-day. Nonunion
mills all over the country are said to be
going through the same process. The move
ment for the present is confined to pud-
ding mills, and to be developed further in
the future. Vice President Carney, when
asked concerning the above admitted its
truth, and said it is expected to bring the
Amalgamated Association up to its former
high standard. He refused to say any
thing about a strike, but claimed that or
Ganization was being made complete, and
should a strike be ordered ii would be a
successful one.

DEFYING UNCLE SAM
GOVERNOR STONE, OF MISSISSIPPI,
TAKES A BOLD STAND.
His State Is Circulating Money of It's
own and He Refuses to Turn the
Paper Over to the Government.

JACKSON, Miss, July 15.--The Mississip-
pi Legislature, at its last session, passed an
act authorizing the Governor. the Auditor
and the Treasurer to issue treasury war
rants in denominations of s., should IL be-
come necessary 10 tide the State over the
financial panic. The issue was limited to
S200, ,OO0 and the warrants were to draw in
terest at the rate Of per cent per annum,
payable Jan. 1 of each year until the Leg
islature meets again, in 1896. The warrants
were made payable to bearer, and it was
the intention of the Legislature for them to
pass as money all over the State. Imme
diately after the passage of the act the
State Auditor contracted with the st. Louis
Bank-note Company for the printing of the
warrants, and the first installment Of $4,000
was delivered to the State Treasurer and
placed in circulation few weeks ago. Yes
terday Governor Stone received a dispatch
from w. II. Hazen, chief of the United
States Secret Service at Washington. de-
manding that the Governor send TO him all
of the unsigned warrants that have not
been placed in circulation. Mr.. Hazen also
telegraphed the St Louis Bank-note Com
pany demanding that the plates be turned
over to the government.
In an interview to-day Governor Stone
stated that he would not comply with Mr..
Hazens demand in any particular, and that
the issue of the special warrants Will be
continued until the full issue of 900 is
completed. The State officials regard Ha
zen's demands as an unwarranted inter
ference and will not treat il seriously. They
say that the demands were based on the
assumption that these special warrants re-
semble too closely United States currency,
and was vlolative of the statutes of the
United States. This is strenuously denied
by Governor Stone. who says the act OF
the Legislature is sustained by the best
legal authorities in the country. The Audit
or has telegraphed the st. Louis Bank-note
Company not to pay any attention TO Ha-
Zen's demands.
