the trouble arose over the ussassina-

men We're employees Of the Wheeling
Natural Gas Company, were incorrect.
The men were employees OF Booth G.

Philadelphia Gas Company. OF Pitts
bursh. and the trouble arose between
two factions among the Italians, owing
to differences as TO the proper manner
OF running the cOmnis5ary department.
: Yesterday at noon the sheriff OF

posse OF deputies, armed with Winchts-
ter, rifles, left Little Washington for
Zollarsvllle. arriving there at 1880
O'Clock in the afternoon.
Their arrival was indeed timely, rs
the 1870 disaffected Italians were in the
act OF moving upon the company's Of
flee with the intention OF raidins the
place.
The sheriff began an investigation.
and in q short time succeeded In patch
ing up the trouble in n satisfactory
way. The 1870 disaffected ones agreed
to leave the county II they were paid
off by Booth & Finn. This thesfrm
agreed to do, and they will be paid off
this morning, and then escorted to- the
Monongahela river, where they will
take a steamboat for Pittsburgh. The
fifty other Italians. who were kept from
continuing work on the line by the .op-
position faction. will resume work this
morning, and the firm will bring In ad-
ditional workers at once.
AS a precautionary measure. the
sheriff Will hold his force OF deputies
on the scene for two or three days.
