    Four Killed in Strike Riot.
Johnstown, Pa., April 17.—A riot oc-
gurred at Windber between striking
miners and others, and in the resulting
shooting by deputies Pictu Martini,
Paul Zills, Antonio Mazuca and Charles
Foster, 12 years old, were killed. ioe
ing Engineer Eugene Delaney was
gerously injured and several others
were wounded. Foster was shot
through the bowels and died in the
hospital.
An eye-witness of the riot, in de-
scribing the affair, said the trouble
started when Deputy Sheriff W. W.
McMullen went to the mass meeting
held by the striking miners in a wood
at the edge of the town. Many of the
miners had been drinking, and the
sight of the deputy made them furious.
The officer was quickly surrounded by
maddened miners, who threatened to
kill him. McMullen, realizing that his
situation was desperate, fled for his life,
finding refuge in the house of Council-
man Charles Davis Practically every
man who had gone to the mass meeting
joined in the chase after the fleeing
deputy, and soon after the latter had
entered the Davis house it was sur-
rounded by a mob of 2000 shouting,
cursing miners, who challenged McMul-
len to come out. When McMullen
failed to appear, the mob attacked the
house and literally wrecked it. The
deputy sheriff was roughly handled, but
again managed to escape. The mem-
bers of the Davis family fled to the
homes of neighbors for shelter. Other
deputies, who had been on duty guard-
ing the property of the coal company,
had been notified of the trouble by this
time, and 20 of the rioters were landed
in the lock-up at Windber.
The mob, headed by Paul Zills, then
planned an assault on the jail with the
purpose of releasing the prisoners. A
great crowd of the strikers, with Zills
at their head, marched to the centre of
the town and prepared to storm the
jail. The deputy sheriffs fixed the bay-
onets to their rifles and surrounded the
jail to keep it from the mob’s posses-
sion, if possible. The members of the
fire department were also called out to
help restore order. The foreigners were
urged to be orderly and to leave the
town, but influenced by liquor, they re-
fused to listen, greeting the efforts to
pacify them with hoots and jeers. At
a signal the mob began to close in on
the jail, shouting to the deputies to
throw away their guns and give up the
prisoners. The officers first tried to
keep back the mob with baycnets, but
the effort was ineffectual, and when it
became certain that the little band of
deputies and firemen could not stand
before the howling, infuriated mob they
opened fire, Those of the foreigners
who were closest to the jail had al-
ready begun using knives in the at-
tempt to disarm the deputies, while
others flourished revolvers. The depu-
ties fired but one volley, and the for-
eigners broke and fled in wild disorder,
leaving three of their number dead in
front of the jail. The wounded who
were able to walk were hurried to their
homes and boarding houses, while an
ambulance took the more seriously hurt
to the Windber hospital.
Fears are entertained that the strik-
ers will make another effort to free
the rioters now in jail.
At the mass meeting the men had de
cided to return to work on the opera-
tors’ terms, when Deputy McMullen
appeared. It is said that an intoxicated | Li
striker made an insulting remark to
the deputy, and that when the latter
warned the miner to keep quiet the |
trouble began.
Sheriff Begley has been summoned to
Windber, and Governor Pennypacker
has been telegraphed to, asking him to
send the state constabulary. Windber
is in a furore of excitement.
POLICE GO ON STRIKE
Connellsville Officers Quit When In.
creased Pay Is Refused.
Connellsville, Pa., April 17.—All the
police of this place went on strike and
the town is now without police protec:
tion. When the tramps working on
public improvements heard that the
force had resigned they made their es
cape, and although the officers saw
them leave they did not attempt to
prevent them from going. The strike
was caused by the refusal of the town
council to grant an increase of $10 a
month in salaries.
Found Cure For Locomotor Ataxia.
London, April 14.—The Express says
that Le Grand Norton Denslow, an
American doctor residing in London,
has discovered a cure for locomotor
ataxia. He already, says the Express,
has eeffcted a number of wonderful re-
coveries. Dr, Denslow is not ready to
make public the details of his discov-
ery, but when he is ready he will take
the medical profession into his con-
fidence.
Killed Watching Base Ball Game.
New York, April 16.—Robert Norton,
12 years of age, was struck on the
forehead by a base ball batted into a
crowd by a player. The boy died within
a few minutes. He had been watching
two teams playing on a vacant lot near
his home in Jersey City.
Gnats Killing Live Stock.
Birmingham, Ala. April 17—A spe-
cial from Jackson, Miss, says gnats
are killing live stock in large numbers
in the delta counties of the state. Ian.
stances are reported where horses have
died within an hour after having been
stung by the gnats.
Two Boys Killed By Train.
Philadelphia, April 14.—Two boys,
Charles A. Tryon, aged 12 years, and
James Le Roy, aged 13 years, were
instantly killed by an express train
on the Pennsylvania railroad near the
‘West Philadelphia station. They were
riding on a freight train and jumped
in front of the express. Their bodies
were terribly mangled.
Spring Mills.
Nobody talks politics just now, the only
thing one hears is the coal strike, and how
long it will continue.
J. B. Cameron and Calvin Bogan, of New
Berlin, were here last week, visiting rela-
tives and friends in the valley.
Eggs suffered on Easter. The little folks
bad their eggs—Ilike Joseph's coat—of many
colors, and of course were happy. .
Commercial agents have been quite numer
ous of late. They report business ou the
road from fair to middling. Spring orders
very light.
C. A. Krape bas greatly improved his lawn
by planting eight or ten fine trees along the
walk, from the postoffice to his residence. It
presents a very attractive appearance.
The Spring Mills base bail team met the
Centre Hall nine on Saturday last, and were
defeated. The score stood 9 to 10 in favor of
Centre Hall. It was the first contest of the
season. The Spring Mills nine met witha
cordial reception, but at the conclusion of
the game, were kindly invited to walk
from the grounds through the rain and mud,
to the Old Fort hotel for supper. Eating
supper wet to the skin, was a little “off”
and sounds harsh. Where were all the um-
brellas?
Letter to 0. WH. Harsberger, Bellefonte, Pa.
Dear Sir : Lead aud oil is not good paint;
don’t wear; the rule is, as everyone knows,
repaint in three years.
Devoe lats six, in the same way —allow
wide margin in all such statements. What
does it mean, to last ? It means the same
with both.
As to covering : that's another. Here's
an instance.
Mr. J. J. Hall, Sheflield, Pa., painted
two houses, lead and oil; took 40 gallons,
Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe
Jov the same two houses; returned 10 gal-
ons,
The paint, that covers, lasts; it’s all
paint, true paint, and full measure. Lead
and oil is all paint but not good paint; the
lead wants zine. Better paint Devoe,
Yours truly,
