AN ANARCHIST
Made a Desperate Fight in PittSburg,
and Slashed Five Officers With a
RazOr--Had to Be Shot and Club
bed Into InsenSibility.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 15.-JameS
Elbert. arrested as a suspicious charac-
ter and supposed to be an anarchist,
created big excitement this morning at
No. 8 station house by slashing i've
policemen with a razor. One OF the ofil-
GERS. George Mcintyre, is horribly cut
on the face. one wound extending from
the ear to the thorax, taking part of the
ear. His condition is serious. The
others, George Cole, James McEvey,
w. L. Coreless and VIM. Kenney, are
badly cut, but not seriously. Elbert,
after cutting his way through the
guard of fifteen policemen. made his
escape from the station by jumping
thirty feet from a rear window, hotly
pursued by the officers while blood
streamed from their wounds. After a
hot chase of several squares, Officer
Coreless finally fired his revolver, the
bullet taking effect in Elbert's right
arm. and he was then captured. The
man fought desperately, and had to be
clubbed into insensibility before he
could be taken back to the station.
Elbert now lies in the Jail hospital in
a pre2arious condition. Elbert is an
Austrian, who had been working at the
Armstrong cork factory until lately,
when he was discharged because of his
anarchistic and troublesome ways. He
has since been threatening Mr.. Arm
strongs life. and was arrested because
he insisted on hanging around the fac
tory after being repeatedly warned off
the PREMISES.

A RACE RIOT.
Three Men Killed and Three Badly
Wounded, as a Result of an Effort
By an Arkansas Sheriff to Arrest
Negro Murderer.

Cincinnati, Ohio, August ia spe-
cial to the Commercial Tribune from
Little Rock, Ark, says:
The bloodiest race riot that has oc-
Cured in Arkansas in months took
place at Palarm Station, thirty miles
from Little Rock, late last evening.
Three men are dead, another fatally
wounded, and two others badly injured.
The dead are:
Harrison Kerr, negro, shot all to
pieces.
Charles Peters, colored, killed out
right.
Charles Andry, white, shot through
the heart.
The seriously injured are:
]. #. Clarke, Jr., telegraph opera
tor. shot through the shoulder, prob
ably fatally.
D. r. owens, white, deputy sheriff
of Perry county, shot through the groin,
seriously wounded.
Owens, a deputy sheriff from Perry
county, had a warrant for Harrison
Kerr. a negro, charged with murder.
When he attempted to make the ar
rest at Palarm, Kerr opened fire on the
officer. The first shot struck Owens
in the groin, the bullet striking some
silver in the trousers pocket, glanced
and inflicted a serious wound. The
money in Owens pocket probably saved
his life. Andry and Clarke went TO
Owens assistance, and five or six ne
groes ioined in with Kerr. A pitched
battle ensued. in which over fifty shots
were fired. When the shooting was
over. Andry and Peters lay dead, Clarke
had staggered into his Office and fell
upon the floor. Owens was lying in a
ditch near the station, and Kerr and
the remainder of his companions had
disappeared. The entire town was at
the scene of the shooting and posse
started in pursuit of the fleeing negroes.
Harrison Kerr was found lying in the
road a mile away, literally shot to
pieces. blood running from five wounds
in his body. The other negroes who
participated in the bloody affair con-
tinued their fight and have not been
captured. The whole county is in a
fever of excitement. and should Kerrs
associates be captured they will never
come to trial.

city on his way to Parkersburg. The
object Of yesterdays trip by ex-Govern-
or Fleming and Col. Flickinger is still
unknown.
It was the fond hope Of O'Connell,
Woods and the other labor leaders
that this march of the strikers would
take the operators by surprise, but not
only were they not surprised, but they
kept tab on the movements of the
column from the time il started, and
told to a hair what time it would leave
MonOngah and other points. The oper-
ators say they are fully prepared for
whatever may take place tomorrow.
A few days ago, at Montana, as
showing the manner in which the
mine-Owners keep posted, the agitators
arranged to have ten mule drivers
quit work The operators knew or
the arrangement almost as soon as
it was made and took five of the ten
men back, discharging the other hye
for keeps.
The operators say tonight that II
the strike occurs tomorrow not one
quarter of the men will be taken back.
but that their places will be filled by
negroes from Pennsylvania and Fir-
ginia. This carries with it the sus-
picion that arrangements for this con-
tingency have already been made.
To-day one of the operators brought
twelve men in from Clarksburg to go
10 work. The labor leaders were fully
posted as to this move, and by tonight
ten of the twelve men had joined the
union and are with the strikers. The
remaining two will go to work in the
morning-if they don't change their
minds. It's a merry war all around.

GRIMLY DETERMINED.

DenressIou Undoubtedly Exists at Turtle
and Plum Creeks, But the Men Will Hang
Together.
Pittsburg. Pa, August ia leaden
skv and ftful showers contributed to
the feeling of depression which existed
at the miners camps at Turtle and
Plum Creeks to-day. The men huddled
together for shelter under the commits
sarv tents and having nothing else to
do nut the time in smoking and dis
cussing the strike in all its phases.
The spirit of agressiveness, however,
has largely died out. The same grim
determination to stick it out until star
vstion brings defeat, or their efforts
victory. is apparent, but there are no
propositions TO attain their end by force
or to 20 contrary TO the sherlns Or
6ers.
The men all realize that in opposing
the law as represented by the sherln
and his deputies they will would nave
about the same success as II butung
their heads against stone wall. Ihey
have no particular love for the deputies
although there is an absence OF that
caustic repartee between the factions
that has characterized former strikes.
There was no marches this morn
ing. This has been the usual Sunday
custom at all camps, but even if it had
been otherwise the strict orders OF all
strike leaders to wait quietly until af-
ter Monday, would have prevented
them. Sunday has usually been used
by the men TO do missionary work
among the working miners. None Of
them attempted to see any workmen,
however, and kept severely away from
the company houses.
The march into Westmoreland coun-
ty will begin as soon as the injunction
is settled in court. Much anxiety is eX-
pressed as to the outcome. The men
stake everything on their ability to
show the right to assemble and march
en- the public road.

newspaper correspondents of the scent.
Rome, August 15.-The result Of the
duel has been received here with the

streets, cheering for the Count of Tu-
