Lively Episode of the Trial of the
Syv1ndling Banker.
By Cable TO the Ulaited Pres

ROME, May 10, 1Se4-Today's sitting of
the court which IS trying Bernardo Ten
longo, ex-president of the Banca Romano,
for embezzlement and other fraudulent prac-
tices, was brought to an abrupt close by a
wrangle which at one time assumed the
phase of riot. Bank Inspector Biagini was
called to the stand and testified that his re-
port upon the condition of the bank was pre-
pared under the instruction of Signor Miceli,
who was at that time Minister of Finance.
In the course of his examination Of the
affairs Of the bank be discovered that there
was shortage in the Golfers of the institu-
tion Of 100000 lire, and he also detected
other irregularities, all Of which he reported.
At this point in Biagina's testimony, ex
Minister Niceli sprang to his feet and
shouted :-s'You are liar and miserable
cowardn
The widest tumult at once ensued in the
midst of which Biagini and Miceh sprang at
one another and engaged in fierce fight
The carbineers attached to the court separat-
ed the combatants, but this had no effect in
allaying the uproar The opposing advo-
Gates shouted protests at the top Of their
lungs, the spectators INDUCED in all
sorts of noisy ebullitions and the Judge
pounded his desk until he was exhausted in
vain endeavor to quell the disorder. Finally
the crow advocates were able to make
themselves heard and they demanded that
ex- Minister Miceli be prosecuted for out
raging q witness This demand had the
effect of renewing the disorder, which the
presiding Judge found 1t impossible to sub
due and the sitting Of the court was ad-
ioufnod

ing blowing at the rate of forty eight miles
an hour
Signal Service Officer Frankenfield be-
lieves, however, that the storm will soon
abate and that there is few, if any, more ad-
ditional disasters. Tie wind has also turned
and is now direct from the North, SO that
there is less danger of driving helpless craft
on shore.
Considering the number of lives endang
cred in the blast comparatively few were

CRIBWoRKERS AWFUL POSITION.
Darkness came down last night on q men
croaching in the one mile crib at Lakeview,
drenched by the surges which swept down
from the North and cut from all hope of out
side succor Their only shelter, timber
tower, constructed on the crib was washed
away shortly before two ocloRk in the
afternoon and until nightfall the u1 ol'tunate
men strained their eyes in vainfor some
sign of answer to the flag of distress which
they waved from the partially wrecked
crib. All efforts to get tug Grew to go to
the relief of the men were futile in the face
of the fearful gale. Late last night the
white flag of distress had been replaced by
red lantern, which was still visible. shortly
before daybreak this morning. However,
the wind had gone down a great DEAL and it
is thought the men are safe
The families of the imprisoned men spent
an anxious night waiting for news from the
crib.

the two cribs of the Sixty eighth street
tunnel They are thought to be all right.

KATIE RUPP's WATCH.

John Nolan, an employe of the D., L. &
w. Railway, found ladys silver watch
yesterday near Pen Horn Creek. He hand
ed it to Detective Dalton, who turned it
over to Chief Murphy. 1t is thought that it
is the missing watch of Katie Rupp, Ber-
nard Altenberger's victim. 1t is badly
dented, and if it is hers it establishes the
fact that the couple walked to Snake Hill on
the railway tracks. 1t is thought Alten-
berger threw it away.
The poor girls body was removed to Rome
this morning over the New York Central
Railroad. Detectives McNally and Doyle
have arrived in Utica, and have reported to
Chief Murphy that they viii leav@tbere this
afternoon with their prisoner, arriving in
this city about ten O'Clock tonight.

ScorrDALE, Pa, May 10, 1894. 4.-Early
this morning the coal strikers, who were
driven in from their camp at Valley by the
heavy storm, last evening, left their quar-
ters at the Opera House and started for
their homes, greatly discouraged at
their failure to get the Valley workers out.
The Frick Company leased all the ground
surrounding their works and deputies are
now in charge Trespass notices and
Winchesters will hereafter prevent
ssBig Tree" being used as strikers
headquarters. A new camp, however, will
be established at Frank Rocks, near by.
The fact that the national convention
of miners refused to endorse the coke
region strike was a great surprise and
disappointment to the coke region labor
leaders. There is strong talk at headquar-
ters this morning in favor of cutting away
from the United Mine Workers Union,
and the establishment of a national organi-
zation OF coke workers. This will likely be
done, whether the present contest is success
full or not. The operators report increased
forces at several plants this morning

the result of the schism is deplorable, for dis
