Serious Clash at Orangeville,
in Pittsburg District.
EFFORT TO EvICT STRIKERS FAILS
Morning Battle in Which ths Deputies
Are Badly wOrsted and Com
PEELED to Leave for
Washington.

PITTsBURe, Sept. Efforts to evict
the striking miners of the Pittsburg &
Chicago Coal Company. at Orangeville,
one and half miles from Gastonville,
resulted in riot of no mean proper
tions, and the utter failure of the COM
pany to accomplish its object.
About O'Clock last night twenty dep
uties from Washington, Pa. in charge
of Chief Deputy WetherIll, reached Fin
leyville, where they were met by large
crowd of strikers. Each deputy was
armed with Winchester and revolver,
but in spite of this the strikers, headed
by 100 Polish women closed in on them
and they were forced back and finally
retreated to Gastonville, followed by
about 200 men and women.
At Gastonville the deputies took re-
fuge in the Office of the company, where
they were kept all night, during which
time the building was bombarded with
stones and bricks and an occasional
shot was fired.
At O'Clock this morning the trouble
of the night reached climax, when the
quarters and started to march to Orange
vile. Headed by women, the strikers
rushed on the deputies with stones and
clubs and pick handles and the blows
fell thick and fast. One big woman
wrested a rife from a deputy's hands
and struck him on the head with it, in
ficting serious injury. By this time
1000 men, women and children had
joined the crowd. They came from
Venetia, Snowden, Calamity and FIN
leyville.
The deputies made their way to
Orangevllle and took refuge in a vacant
house, closely followed by the mob,
which surrounded the building and
threatened to burn it. One of the strik-
ers approached the house with flag oi
truce and conference was held. The
deputies were ordered to leave town
After short parley it was decided to dc
SO. They emerged from the house q
badly scared lot of men and walking be
tween the opened ranks of the strikers
started for Gastonville. Almost every
man in the posse was cut and bleeding
and several were badly hurt.
AS the defeated deputies ran the
gauntlet, they were greeted with Kisses
curses and ridicule. The strikers then
closed behind them and marched then
to the station, where they took the trair
for Washington. After their departare
the mob dispersed and everything i!
quiet now.

LIBERALS COME INTO POWER.
Report That saEasta win be Premier
of Spain.

New YORK, Sept. IA Herald spe-
cial from Barcelona says that it is stated
on the highest diplomatic authority that
the present Spanish government will go
out within fortnight, and that the lib
erals'will come in. The Herald's corre-
spondent in Washington, commenting
on the above, says:
The officials of the state department
have not received any information OF a
change in the Spanish ministry, but
they have believed ever. since the death
of Canovas that 1t is quite probable the
conservative ministry would be succeed
ed by one headed by Sagasta.
Such change has been hoped for by
the administration, for the reason that
it is believed that the liberals would
pursue course in regard to Cuba very
different from that followed by the con-
servatives, both before and since the
death of Canovas, and that if Senor Sa-
gasta should come into power he would
receive with favor the new offers of the
United States, to bring about an end of
the insurrection, which Minister Wood
ford is to make.
