During the conversation Mr. Langhort

Chief Murphv was ver indignant over the

of the charge ho certainly would hae to

He nev cr said any thing to me about the case

to use Langhorst to reach Porter. '

XAMPBELLTHESTAR
bOhio's Governor Was the Center of
Attraction at the Randall Clnb
Fete Champetre.
APPLAUDED BY THE-MULTITUDE.
tfle Say if He Doesn't TVinThis Fall He
Knows There Is Nothing Higher in
Store for Him.
A GEEAT TURNOUT OF THE DEMOCRATS.
The -Annual Blovr-Ont of Hit Clnt at Surer Lake GroTe
Was a Big Success.
The brains and beauty of the Democracy
of Western Pennsylvania attended the lete
champetre of the Kandall Club at Silver
Lake Grove j esterday. The crowd was not
as large as in former years, but threatening
weather and counter attractions are re
sponsible for the result. The day, however,
and evening, also, proved most delightful.
The time was spent by the young folks and
some of the old in dancing in the
pretty pavilion. The part- war
horses and the boys who have stood
the brunt of many political battles
stood around on the outside shaking hands
and renewing "auld" acquaintance. Occa
sionally the form of a Republican loomed
up on the grounds, and a cordial greeting
was extended. Like the Blue and the Gray,
all differences were forgotten. The hatchet
was buried It was a day given up to social
enjoyment, and politics was not on tho pro
gramme. Governor Campbell, of Ohio, took
Sam Randall's place. If the shade of the
great Philadelphia Congressman hovered
nearby, it must have looked down on the
gay scene with approval. The Governor led
in the dance, received the plaudits of the
crowd and won the hearts of tho maidens
and matrons with his courtly manners.
Popular in Pittsburg.
He is graceful and handsome, and
strengthened his grip on the Pittsburg
Democrats as easily as he captured the
nomination for a second time in the Buck
eye State. Campbell was the center of at
traction, the star of the day, as Tim O'Leary
gracefully expressed it. Governor Fleming,
of West Virginia; Pattison, of Pennsylvania;
Harnty, Hensel and other prominent Demo
crats had been invited, but at the last mo
ment they sent their regrets Business en
gagements claimed their attention. Patti
son was attending a military encampment
at Mt. Gretna and could not be present.
The day opened with the reception of Gov
ernor Campbell earlv m the morning at the
Tnion depot. The Chief Lxecutive was ac
companied by Colonel Dyer, Warden of the
Ohio penitentiary at Columbus His staff
expected to be with him, but a meeting of
the Democratic State Committee compelled
them to remain at the Capital. Chairman
Guckert, F. J Weixel, J. P. Fleming, Ah
Carlislo and "Squire Herman Handel per
formed the pleasant task of welcoming the
Governor. He was taken to tho Seventh
Vvenne Hotel, where an informal reception
was held, and another was repeated at
the clubhouse at 10 o clock At noon the club,
with its in ited friends, paraded the princi
pal streets of the city Ihe Great 1 cstern
lland headed the procession A break nas
then made for silver Lake, where the fes
tivities proper commenced
Cheered at the Grove.
Tate in the afternoon Governor Campbell
was driven to the grove. He occupied a
carnage w ith President F. J. Wcixol, J. P.
Fleming and "Squire Handel. Colonel Dj er,
Isidor Coblenz and sei eral Democrats sat
in the second vehicle When the
Governor leached the ground a large
crowd was there to receive him.
As he entered the grove the Great Western
band struck up 'The Campbells Are Com
ing." It was the signal for a lively cheer
from the people. The Governor was
promptly escorted to the platform in the
pa illion where ho shook hands w 1th every
bodj on the grounds. When the crowd, lag
ged, "Squire HandelTTeppedlo the front and
said "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want
to shake the hand of a great man, the Gov
ernor of Ohio, please step forward." Mr.
Campbell laughed and the old 'squire was
loudly applauded for his little speech.
He m ide sei eral more during
the reception, each time bringing the house
down with a cheer and a tiger. While on
the platform the people had a good oppor
tumtj to stud the face of the Ohio Gov
ernor, who is about to make the light of his
life. "How much he looks like Foraker,"
more than one exolaimed. The resemblance
is not close but certain expressions of the
Goernor remind one or the Cincinnati
"House Aflie" Mr. Campuell entered into
the spirit ol the occasion w ith the ardor of a
schoolboy. Timothy O'Leary proposed
three cheers for him as the next Goernor
of Ohio, and the were gi en with a i nn.
Where the Governor Led.
When the handshaking was overthe grand
march was in order. As the honored guests
Go ernor Campbell led with Miss Corinne
McFarland, of Hattsville, as his partner.
They w ere roundly cheered at every turn in
the intricate march. Tho young lady was
among the prettiest girls in the park, and
she appreciated her proud position. Indeed,
what miiden was there who did not envy
her To dance with a Governor is some
thing, but to march with a man who may
occupy a higher position in the gift of the
people later on, is glory enough for a life
time I nele Dick Vaux made a reputation by
w altzing w ith Queen Victoria. Miss McFar
land is a lsitor at T. J. O'Lear 's home, and
the latter was elated over the attention she
received.
As Captain Lew Brown watched the
march ho remarked "Sam Randall was one
of the most graceful dancers I ever saw on a
floor, and I notice that Campbell is not far
behind him" When the mareh wasoer
the Governor danced in a quadrille, and then
he retired to drink lemonade lie left tho
groe about 0 o'clock to take a train for
Columbus at 10
As the nation at large is watching the con
test in Ohio The Disrvrcn man sought the
first opportunity to get the Governor's views
on the situation. He i9 modest, but talks
freely. He realizes also that If he wins in
Xo ember then a higher position is in stoie
for him The Go ernor is a shrewd poli
tician and he has a valuable assistant m his
wife who works among the women of the
State. Most men know what a mighty influ
ence the gentler sex can wield. Mr. Camp
bell talks much in the language of the
street Here is a sample "I Iiua e no cinch
on the Farmers' Alliance, I want that under
stood " At another time he said: "I have
sense enough to know that if I am defeated
this fall I won't be in it for the Presidency
or an thing else."
A Fight on the TaruT
In a chat on Ohio politics he continued:
"The campaign, of course, will do fought on
the tariff. The Democratic platform de
clares for a tariff for revenue and the Repub
licans have indorsed the McKinley bill.
There is the gist of the contest in a nutshell.
It is whether the McKinley bill shall prevail
or not. For this reason the light is national
in its scope, and I realize tliat if w e are i ic
tonons it means that the people of Ohio
fax or tho tariffas laid down in the Mills bill
or any other similar measure. Do I think I
willwiut I most certainly do. I believe
the people will repudiate the high
tanff. The Peoples party, I sup
pose, will put a candidate in the
Held, and this will tend to complicate mat,
ters. Still I think I will come out ahead
thousli I am not figuring on majorities. As
for the Fanners' Alliance, I think it will
help the Democratic party the most. In
strong Republican counties the Democrats
will likely put up Allianco men, and, Mce
v ersa, the Republicans will do the same.
The Legislature will thus be made np of Re
publicans, Democrats and Alliance men of
tne peisuasion oi Dotn pal ties Tho Al-
liance, )ou understand, is divided, and the
Republicans and Democrats lia-v c adherents
in the organization. The next Legis
lature, certainl, is in doubt.
It depends on the ote of Hamilton county.
This county elects ten Legislators and three
Senators They practically control 10 per
cent of the Legislature, and it makes a big
difference which way its members go Oh,
no the Democratic gerrymander will lunc
nothing to do with the result one raj or
another.
"On the silver question I have criticised
the position of ray party. At the Clei eland
Coatention 400 -voted for free c&inage and
300 agumst it. You see the party is almost
c enlv divided on tnis issue. J do not take
the conservative view of Cleveland, and I
am l eady at any time to re lse ni opinion
as my judgment dictates.
Against All the Lxtrcinists.
"I simply say that, in the present financial
condition of the couutr, I am not sure that
unlimited coinage would be the best thing
for the Government. It is an experiment.
but if the people want to try it all well and
good. I do not indorse the views of the ex
tremists on either side. I am not one of
those who think that free coinage will break
the country, or that restricted silver will
financially rum it. It will take more than
cither or these causes to smash this Govern
ment. Yes, an income tax plank was placed
in the Democratic platform, and I can't un
derstand who put it there. It was not
adopted to catch voters, and refers alto
gether to Federal legislation."
Mr. Campbell spoke highly of Governor
Pattison, and said he frequently heard his
name mentioned in connection with the
Presidency. He added that the party could
do worse in not nominating a man Hive
Pattison. He statedfuither that it had been
announced in the papers that Cleveland
would make six speeches in the State for
him. He claimed he didn't know anything
about it. AstueiiovernorrememDereanow
he did up the Cincinnati gang at
Cleveland, he chuckled good-naturedly
to himself. "I got along very well
without tbem," he said. McKinley has
denied the statement accredited to him that
"Campbell Is the weakest Democrat In Ohio."
The Governor said he knew McKinley never
said it, and it originated with the opposition
at Cleveland.
W. J. Brennen said he would make
speeches for Campbell, and as ex-Congressman
Hopkins shook hands with him he re
marked that how ould be glad to serve him.
"I am sure I will need your services in the
campaign," he remarked, and Hopkins half
promised to go "Hopkins is a good man on
the stump,"' someone suggested, and Mr.
Campbell answc red "I know it." The fact
is most of the Democratic leaders in the
State will be making stump speeches In Ohio
thu fall.
A Great Crowd Was Present.
The fete was well attended by prominent
Democrats from nearby counties. In the
crowd wore noticed John Kuhns, County
Commissioner Martin, County Treasurer
Bell, ex-Shenffs John Guffey and McCor
mlck, of Westmoreland; Colonel T. R Sea
right, of old Fayette: Colonel J. B R. Streat
or and ex Congressman Hopkins, of
Washington; J. F. Snyder, a Clear
field law en ex Sheriff Hoffman, of
Butler; Senator Dunlap, of Beaver, and
others Of course the Randall Club was
well repiesented, and their names are
familiar. Judge Kennedy and W. M. Sipe
circulated in the crowd. The Judge was
very affable with everybody, and is deter
mined to maintain theadvantage he holds at
all hazards Colonel Andy Stow art, County
Recorder Von Bonnhorst and City Water
Assessor George Miller were some of the
Republicans present. "Bonny" claimed he
felt at home with the Democrats, and they
were glad to see him.
Warden Dyer, of Columbus, received con
siderable attention He has great luith in
Campbell and thinks he will be re elected.
He belie es that Foraker w ill be the next
Senator
The young folks kept up the dancing to a
late hour. In tho evening the crowd was
largely reinforced. Gernert's Orchestra fur
nished the music. About nightfall a large
balloon was sent up Fire crackers wer put
off, and the annual fete champetre wound
up in a blaze of glorious light.
THE MILK THAT BOILED.
A Spot TVTiere the Intense Pleat of Tester
day Seemed to Concentrate.
There were several spots on tho earth
where it was warm yesterday. So warm m
fact that the spots in the sun were not in it.
The high and mighty heat that poured out
its strongest rays upon the earthly pigmies
caused little torrents of salty perspiration
to fill the highways and byways on every
countenance. There were fow, indeed, who
felt lresh enough to murmer "Is it hot
enough for out"
There was one place where tho essence of
all this dazzling neat seemed concentrated.
About a mile cast of Beaver Roads, a little
station on the Montour Railroad, is a hill
which reaches nearer heaven than any of
its Immense companions. It is in the north
west part of the McCurdy oil field. A fagged
out Dispatch rcportei leached this celestial
Knoll about noon esteraay, ana, alter si ik
mg his immense thirst liora a 050 barrel
water tank, inauired of an uncouth dialler
sitting in the shade of an old-fashioned
farmhouse how hot it wus by the thermom
eter. Dun' no. Hain't got no thermometer.but
I guess 1 can show you that Its pretty
cussed hot" he replied. Ho then went down
to the cellar, but soon reappeared with a
pan of sweet milk, delicious! cocl.
"What time ha o ou?" he askcu.
"Eleven forty-five."
The pan of milk was placed in the sun,
while the driller and reporter stepped in
the neighboiing shade.
At 11 50 the driller said tersely, "Taste it."
The milk had soured. Five minutes later a
commotion whs evidently going on in the
pan. Little bubbles formed, only to disap
pear on the surface of the milk. Theso in
creased rapidly, and as the bubbles burst
little drops of milk flew overthe sides of the
pan.
"What time is it nowj" asked the driller.
"High noon."
The milk had boiled.
CAMPBELL A STE0NG HAH.
Twi North Carolinians Talk About
State
and National Politics.
Charles X. Vance and Colonel John N.
Staples are guests at the Duquesne. Mr.
Vance is a son of the Senator from North
Carolina, and Colonel Staples is an ex-member
of the Legislature of that State. Colonel
Staples is of the opinion that If Campbell
beats McKinley for the Governorship of
Ohio, he is certain to receive the nomina
tion for President in 1892 Such a victory
w ould give him a prestige that w ould make J
mui inu siruiigeso euuuiuuiu lur lue a resi
dency the part could put forward. Outside
of this Colonel Staples believes that either
Pattison or Senator Gorman, of Maryland,
will get the nomination Cleveland docsnot
appear to him to have any chance of a
nomination in consequence of the division
in lew Yoik.
Mr. Vanco was informed lately that Cleve ,
land w ould not get the New York delega
tion to the contention. Ho thinks that
Campbell is becoming a strongman, and will
undoubtedly receive the Pi esidental nomina
tion if he beats McKinley.
An Old Law to He Enforced.
It is said that the old law making it com
pulsory upon retail cigar dealers to sell
cigars and tobies from the boxes is to be
enforced in the future There will be no
handing out by the dozen and allowing the
customer to help himself.

BEAYER IS II LINE.
The Ex-Governor's Kail Firm Signs
tho 'Amalgamated- Scale.
FEW MEN OUT AT DUQUESNE.
Fifty-Deputy Sheriffs in Charge of the
Plant at Steelton.
jriSCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITESfS
Not all tho disputes that tho Amalgamated
Association has had this year will be chroni
cled as failures. Information was received
at headquarters yesterday that the Belle
fonte Iron and Nail Company had signed the
scale for the first time in the history of that
corporation. It was almost a surprise even
to the Amalgamated officials, as they had
never succeeded, since the company was or
ganized in 1S82, in having the scale signed
there.
This is the company of which ex Governor
Beaver is the President. The plant is one of
the largest nail plants in the State. It con
sists of ten double and two single puddle
furnaces, four trams of rolls and 53 nail
machines, with an annual capacity of
5,000 tons of bar iron and 125,000 kegs
of cut nails. The mill was built in
1681 and put in operation in 1882. The
victory is an important one for the Amal
gamated Association and the organization
atBellefonte will no doubt be benefited by
it. There are .nearly 300 men employed in
the mill and the lodge at that place does not
now include more than half that number.
Burning Tall Turn at Duquesne.
The mill at Duquesne is running on full
turn, and fully one half of the old men have
gone back, and no great effort is now being
made by the strikers to keep the men out of
the mill. A mass meeting was held in the
rink yesterday afternoon which was at
tended by about 100 strikers The meeting
was addressed by Vice President Caraev. of
the Amalgamated Association. He was rather
conservative, and said while he could not
guarantee tho men the support of the organ
ization, still there weie several mills
in the vicinity which would contribute
to their support if they held out.
Quite a number of the men express them
selves as being dissatisfied w ith the way the
Amalgamated officials aio treating the
strike, as they consider it a very important
one to the organization. Mr. Carney stated
that owing to the condition of affairs at
other points it was impossible to ghe the
Duquesne matterthe attention they desned.
Ho also officially stated that the men who
wont to work even now at the mills would
be looked on by the order as "black sheep "
After passing a resolution to remain out on
strike, tho meeting adjourned without tak
ing any action in regard to organized move
ment to keep men out of the mill. A large
portion of the old men who have gone back
toworkaie membeis-of the Amalgamated.
and the local feeling against them is very
bitter.
Last night David Matthews, of Braddoek,
appeared before a Justice and swore
out warrants for the arrest of Joseph
Blotzei, Benjamin Breen and George Dar
inin, three Duquesne strikers. In the war
rant Matthews alleges that about 9 o'clock
j esteiday morning he was on his way from
his homo to Duquesne to go to work at the
mill. He wa9 met by the three men named
and attacked w ith clubs
Arrests Will lie Mado at Once.
The warrants were placed in the hands of
officers and the men will likely be arrested
at once. As they have many friends about
the mill, it is feared theie may be trouble
when officers try to make the arrests
Blotzer li es at Duquesne, while Breen and
Darmin are lesidents of Pittsburg, and it is
thought they have come here to escape
arrest.
Late last night tho strikers' committee
said, notwithstanding the statement of the
Vice President, they now have the support
of the Amalgamated Association and that
renewed efforts will be made to have the
men now woiking to Join tho ranks of the
strikers Two quiet arrests were mado by
officers from Alderman McMasters' office,
Fittsburg, who gathered in James Craw ford
and Tom Jones on the charge of interfering
with men going to work.

The Situation at Steelton.
Of the 4,000 men employed by the Penn
sylvania Steel Company, only about
400 were at work esterday. There is
no disposition manifest on the part
of the locked-out workmen of the steel
company to make any concessions, and
Major L. S. Bent, President of the corpora
tion, is emphatic in his purpose to take no
retrogade step. Sheriff Keller has had about
60 persons sworn in to protect the property.
These men have been supplied with an en
gine and passenger car, to enable points of

sleeping accommodations at the samo time.

TOO MANY POLITICIANS.
The Fl-st Kick From the .Employes of tho
Duquesne Traction.
There has been considerable talk for sev
eral dys among the employes of the Du

ment cf politicians. It is said that a
great rainy promises have had to he filled
with wild "heelers" and the majority of
the mer thus employed soon leave the road

this is not leceived with the greatest favor
by the (nenwho are empl0ed steadily on

THEY CHANGED ENDS.
The Third and Eighth TVard, Allegheny,
School Principals Change Places.
There is a number of Allcghenians who
desires to know why, if Prof. Henry Kalter
baugh was not competent to instruct the
children of the Noith Avenue School, he
should be fitted to do so by the youngsters
of the Eighth Ward School; and why, if the
professor is eligible to hold the reins of gov
ernment in the latter school, he should have
been deposed from the former.
The directors of the North avenue school
met lately and elected Prof. T. S. Wood, late
of the Eighth Ward School In his stead.
Prof. Kalterbaugh then applied for and ob
tained the position held by Mr. Wood, but
the Ealary is some $300 less. In addition to
the turning out of the principal of the Third
Ward School, two of the teachers, both very
competent ladies, Misses Emma C. Evens
and Bella Herring, wei o asked, to resign.
And tho people aro asking themselves as to
the why or wheiefore of the whole thing.

An Important Sewer in the Twenty-First
Ward to Be Finished at Once.
City Engineer Blown yesterday gave
notice to Keeling, Ridge & Co , who last year

immediately. This sower, a most important
one, is to be a three and fle foot brick sewer,
nnd is oer a mile long, extending from
Frankstown avenue to the citv line and will

The contract was awarded by the defunct
Department of Awaids, but the contractors
had only finished about E00 or SO ) feet of it
when tho Supreme Court knocked out the
stioet legislation The necessity for this
drainage is so great in this part of the city
that Chief Bigelow feels justified in ordei
ing the work completed without further
delay.

Met With Foul Play.
Mrs. Kate Leimnger, of Kilpatrick street,
widow of Peter Leininger, left her home on
Tuesday morning, saying she was going to
visit a fiiend in Sharpsburg, but would re
turn in the afternoon. Nothing has been
heard of her since, and no one could be
found in Sharpsburg who had heard of or
seen her there. As she generally carries
considerable money about with her and was
never known before to spend a night away
from home, her friends are apprehensive
that she has met witn foul play.
Tho matter was reported at Central sta
tion and the policenre on the lookout for the
missing woman, though Acting Inspector
Coulson is ol the opinion that she will turn
up all right after -visiting some friends not
far from home.

The power of the walking delegate in this
city appeals to be on the wane. One of the
gentlemen who represent the plastering in
teiests called upon Contractor James Owens
esterda and said ho would call off his men
if he didn't do something the delegate
wanted him.
Mr. Owens is a member of the Builders'
Exchange and resents the dictatorship of
the walking idlei as much as any of his con
freres. He alnajs emplOed union men as
it was. Yesteid ly he gave his men, about

delegate or of continuing to work lor him

SUING FOR A DOWRY.
The Title to Nine Acres of Allegheny
Property Questioned.
THOUSANDS WANTED BY A WIDOW.
Mrs. Watson Will Try to Recover Because She
Did Not Sign the Peed.
A NEW LEGAL QUESTION IXT0LTED'
The precipe in a suit somewhat unusual
in our courts w as yesterday filed in the Pro
thonotary's office. The plaintiff is Mrs.
Mary IV. D. Watson, widow of the late
Alexander M. Watson, attorney. The de
fendants are Harry nnd Samuel Brown and
the Pennsylvania Company operating tho
Pittsburg, Tort Wayne and Chicago Kail
way Company. The suit is entered by At
torney J. D. Watson. It is for the purpose
of establishing the right of dow er In a strip
of land lying between tho center line of tho
right of way of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railway Company and low
water mark on the Ohio river extending
from the Davis property lino above Jack's
inn in Allegheny City to the James Sterrett
property line at Neville station, containing
nine acres of very valuable land, the river
front being occupied by Brown's coal land
ing, fitted up with all the most approved
machinery for the coal carrying trade.
Once Before In the Conrts.
The same property figured once before in
litigation when A. M. Watson went after
Sam Brown for the valne ot legal services in
securing the property when Its sale was
ordered by the United States Court in bank
ruptcy proceedings, in which A. M. Watson
was petitioner. The present suit will be
watched with interest by all people who
bought property sold by assignee in bank
ruptcy proceedings. The upper end of the
property in dispute was conveyed to jl. m.
Watson in 1864, by James Graham, and the
lower end in 1866 by James P. Jack.
It is a rather unusual proceeding arising
under the common law where the husband
convoys land without the wife's signature in
bankruptcy. Statutory dower lies where
the husband dies in posession of the realty.
Statutory dower gives the wife an interest
in the income of one-third of the realty, but
in this case what is contended for is seliin
in fact, the plaintiff claiming the absolute
right to one-third of the property, which is
descendible to her hens, and as this prop
erty is very valuable this fact is much more
material than it would be were she only to
be allowed possession.
The Pennsy May Have to Pay.
What Browns do not use as a landing the
railway company uses as a freight yard.
Froperty sold as this was, at the sale of an
assignee in bankruptcy, generally goes
cheaply, owing to the contingency If A.
M. Watson had lived 21 years after the sale
It is said the purchasers would be in better
shape to defend, as there are opposing de
cisions on the subject, but as he died several
years before the end of that period the
plamtiffls confident that the fee simple will
not vest in the purchasers for more than
two-thirds of the property.
HUNTING THE EVIDENCE.
Col. Andy Stewart Thinks He Will Be a
Member of the Next House.
Col. Andrew Stewart arrived in the city
from Ohio Pyle yesterday. He said he had
received word from Clerk Rowe. of the
House, that the testimony In the contested
election would be published and issued this
week.
The time when it will be presented to the
Committee on Elections is in February, and
the Colonel expects to hold his seat through
out the session. He says four Democrats
were under fire in the last Congress, but
their cases wero never disposed of. Mean
while they were full-fledged members.
"My great hope Is that tne case will como
before the House," he said, "when the Dem
ocrats are in a good humor. If they follow
their prejudices I suppose they will lay me
out." "
ANOTHER MICHAEL QTJINN.
An English Woman 11 ho Thought the Mur
dered Man Was Iler Husband.
The Mayor yesterday received a letter
from Mrs. Michael Qulnn, of Sheffield, Eng
land, asking for full Information in regard
to Michael Quinn, who, she had been, in
formed, w as murdered by Hungarian rioters
at the Braddoek Steel Works. In her letter
she stated that her husband had come to
this country five yeais ago and his name
being the same she feared the murdered man
was her husband, as she had heard nothing
from him for two ears.
The Mayor turned the letter over to the
Coroner, who sajs the Michael Quinn killed
at Braddoek was another person entirely
and his remains had been taken care or by
his own family. The Coroner will answer the
letter of inquiry.

SHOT IN THE SHOULDER.
A Lively Scene on a Monongahela Wharf
boat An Italian 'Employment Agent
Handles a Revolver" Very Becklessly
Said He Would Kill the Man.
James Abriola, an Italian, shot Joseph
Cross yesterday afternoon and then held a
'crowd of several hundred at bay by vigor
ous flourishing of his revolver. The affair
occurred on the Cincinnati Packet Line
wharf boat at the foot of Wood street. Cross
is a porter on the steamer nndson. Abriola
is a member of the firm of James Abriola &
Co , railroad contractors and labor agents.of
Chicago
Abriola had 14 Italians whom he was tak
ing under contract to Wheeling, and they
were about to embark on the Hudson. The
Italians, with their luggage, went down to
the boat at about 4X0 o'clock. As tbeypassed
iro the tramrw.iv tn the wharfboat. Cross and
another Hudson porter named Donaldson
offeted to carry the luggage on the boat.
Donaldson was misunderstood by Abriola,
and they got iuto a dispute which ended by
their coming to blows. Cross interfered and
separated them.
Abriola says Cross struck him in the face,
though Cross denies it. According to Cross
story, Abriola started away shaking his fist
at Cross, exclaiming:
"Mo killa ou before we get to Wheeling."
Nearlv an 1 our elapsed before the Italian
returned. When he did Cros was sitting
on the gangway. Abriola stepped up to
Cross and reached for his hip pocket, but
Cross was on his feet in an instant, and
as the Italian drew the revolver Cross
reached for it. Cross, in endeavoring to get
the weapon from the Italian's hand, slipped
and fell at his feet. Abriola then fired two
shots, one grazing the colored man's bead
and the other taking effect in his left
shoulder.
Abriola thenran.followed by the crowd up
the wharf to Woodstreetanddown to Archi
bald's livery stable on Second avenue. Sev
eral times ho turned and threatened to shoot
his pursuers. Mercer Johnson followed and
finally collared him and wrenched the
weapon from him as he dashed into the
livery stable to hide. A crowd of colored
men who had been in pnrsult became very
brave when they seen Abriola unarmed. In
the hands of Johnson, and they attacked
him viciously and would probably have
killed him but for the arrival of Officers
Smith and Summerville.
The Italian was taken to Central station
and locked up His victim was taken to the
Homeopathic Hospital, where it was found
that his mjnrywasnot serious. Cross is 24
