FIGHT WITH GYPSIES
ON THE MOUNTAINS
One Person Killed and Several
Wounded in an Encounter
Near Johnstown.
By IhcliuiMj Wire from The Aj'oclated Pre!.
Johnstown, Pa., April 12. In a
fierce fight on the mountains near Lily
last night between a band of gypsies
and a posse of officers, one gypsy man
was -killed outright, a gypsy woman
shot through the shoulder. Division
Foreman Titler, of Unllitzln, was
wounded in the mouth, and Frank
Coons, his assistant, was shot through
tho bowels. The latter is expected to
die.
Tlie gypsies had come from Blair
county where they are charged with
having committed numerous thefts
and were followed by a constable who
secured assistance when he came close
upon them. On the approach of the
posses, the gypsies broke their camp
near .Summit, but seeing that escape
was impossible, made a stand and
opened lire.
After the fight the gypsies carried
the body of their dead companion and
tho wounded woman to .Lilly, where
several of the party were arrested nnd
put in jail.
CHINA'S RESOURCES.
Committee of Ministers Has Reached
Conclusion That $300,000,000 in
Gold Can Be Raised.

Pekin, April 12. The committee or
ministers which is considering China's
financial resouiccs has reached the con
clusion, based upon what Iniorniatiim
is thus far obtainable, that $300,000,01)0
in gold can be raised without Injuring
China's resources. The examination by
the committee into the subject is thus
far incomplete and it will probably sub.
setiuently learn that other Chinese re
sources fop indemnities are available.
The ministers openly express their
desire that the foreign ti-oops leave Pe
kin. They are saumingly as anxious
for the departure as were the besieged
ministers anxious for the arrival of tho
troops,

Grocer nnd End in tho Capture of

Wright and the Detectives Four
Thousand Dollars Worth of Gems
Recovered.
fly Kwlusbe Vine tioui The Anointed Pi .
Pittsburg, April 12. Theto hns
scarcely been a more eventful day in
the annals of the Pittsburg police than
Inday. Thomas D. Knhnc, a Mount
Washington grocer, was shot and
killed In his home by three burglars
while defending his wife, who was be
ing chloroformed. A few hours later,
the rendezvous of the alleged felons
was discovered at ?,2 Fulton stnjet, and
a. force of detectives put to work on
tho case. In a desperate; light which
followed. City Detective Patrick K.
Fitzgerald was instantly killed and one
of the alleged robbers, who gave ,hln
name as Edward Wright, who tired tho
shots that killed Fitzgerald, was bad
ly wounded. Two male and two fe
male members of the alleged robber
gang was arrested and diamonds and
other booty worth from $3,000 to $ 1.000
recovered. The whole of the gang Is
believed to be In custody and the de
tectives have evidence that the men
are responsible for the numerous burg
laries of the past month or two In
and atound this city. Tho wounded
prisoner was removed to Mercy hospi
tal, where it is said he may recover,
although ho was shot three times.
The others arersted gave their names
as Robert Wilcox and his wife, Jen
nie; J. It. 'Wright, a brother of the
murderer, and a woman said to be his
wife. They were taken to Central
station, where it was learned that all
were from Chicago. Wilcox Is said to
ho known in that city as "Kid" Nich
ols. Mrs. Wilcox admitted thai they
had all come from Chicago sonio
months ngo and had been working
here since then.
The detectives first wont lo n house
on Hedford avenue.
A woman fully dressed, was sitting
at a table eating breakfast and a man
lay on the be, clothed. As he caught
sight of the officers ho darted his hand
under the bolster but at the command
"hands up" and the presentation of a
loeded revolver, he surrendered. The
officers looked under the pillow and
found three loaded revolvers theie.
They then repaired to the Fulton
street rendezvous when the shooting
took place.
The Battle with Revolvers.
The description of the encounter in
the rooms as told by Inspector Robert
Gray, of the detective bureau, was
most graphic. When he and Fitzger
ald went up stairs they knocked on tho
door. It was eiuietly opened by a wo
man. Her hody blocked a view of the
room and the officers thought the miiti
they were after had escaped, having
had warning from flu; woman, Fitz
gerald was in front of dray, holding
the door knob in his hand nnd with his
head and shoulders in the room. Sud
denly he cried: "There he is, Rob.
He's got a gun. Ttush him." Suiting
the action to tho word, the detective
rushed into the loom with "the inspec
tor at Ills heels. The woman had
stepped aside and as the officers en
tered the man hegan shooting. Hoth
officers hnd their revolvers out and re
plied to tho shots. The robber stood
upright, firing his pistol coolly, while
tho woman cowered In a corner of the
room. Fitzgerald and dray were by
this time alongside of each other, with
Fitzgerald still in tho crouching attl
tudo in which he had broken Into tlie
room.
All three men were pumping lead Into
each nthen. Suddenly Fitzgerald
luiehed against Orny nnd thu latter,
still firing, saw that his partner was
staggering and groping blindly with
his hands.
"I'm all In. Rob," shouted the detec
tive, "but don't mind me. (lot him,"
Then Fitzgerald fell, ("liny grasped
the pistol which thu murderer held and
snatched It from his hand. It had, as
afterwards wits discovered one hall hi
It, so that four shots must have been
filed. Suddenly tho follow pulled an
other revolver, where from firuy could
not realize, The man began to shoot,
Gray had fired ull his ammunition,
and tlie fellow still kept fniiig.alllioiigh
apparently very weak from tho bullets
that must have cached him. ilrny
grasped him by the throat and Iried to
throw him to tho (loop, hoth mini .stum
bling to ami fro over tho body of Fitz
gerald. Then at last the man threw
up his hands, and with the words, "I'll
give In," dropped to tho Moor.
No examination was inutle of llio
body until later, but It is hiipposed Hint
one op more ot" the bullets from the
murderer's pistol had siiuck Fitzgerald
In the breast. Xt is Gray's opinion thut
he died as ho fell to the floor, although
ho Is not positive, us his own light with
the murdeter lasted, It seemed to him,
several minutes after Fitzgerald fell.
There Is no doubt in the minds of
O'.Mara and Ills detectives that they
have tho men who murdered Kahiin;
who havo committed tho rohhorle.s In
AHptnuall, lOtna and Slinrpshurg, al
most invariably using chloioform; who
entered tho house of tho Rev. Henry T.
McClelland .everal weeks ngo, and who
have committed scores of oilier rob
beries. For several weeks detectives
havo been on night duty In the l-.'aHt
Knl seeking the perpetrators of the
robberies. The booty that was found
In tho house on Hcdfonl avenue fur
nished the proof.

Rongul tiger that fatally Injured one
of the keepers ut the "Zoo" In this
city several months ago, after a des
perate light In the animals cage, to

tention of piillltug hlui through some
tricks. Ilostoek wore a heavy wire
mask over his head and neck and car
ilcd a revolver and club.
At the conclusion of the er.ero.Nc.
the beast was lelnasod and strirteil to
ward his cage along a winding pas
sageway from the arena to the reap

animal suddi-iily leaped upon Rostock
and forced hhn to the floor. Rostock's
left arm was torn by -the tiger's fangs.
Tho mask was broken open and the
tiger was gnashing at his victims face
when a trainer rushed to the rescue
and drove the enraged bea;t to his
cage, after fii-ing several shots inlo
his body.
NEW JERSEY CENTRAL
WAGE CONTROVERSY
No Material Progress Made Towaids
Settlement Engineers Must Di
vide the Increase in Salaries.
11; KxcliiMie Wire fiom The Associated Pk
New Voik, April 12. The trouble be
tween the Central Railroad of New
Jersey and Its employes Is still far
away from a settlement. Representa
tives of the employers and employes
IilIiI two long conferences in Jersey
City today, but tonight the conferees
confessed that no material progress to
wards a ;-etllement had been made.
Some minor points were conceded by
the representatives of both sides, but
on the principal points of difference,
neither side would make concessions.
Another conference! will b.- hd tomor
row, lull It Is 'not expet.ied ,nat an
agreement will be reached and the
conference will be continued into next
week.
Tlie demands of the engineers and
firemen were discussed at today's
conference. Superintendents Olhau
seit and Wontz, speaking fnjr the
company, took the ground that tho ex
isting wage scale was equitable and
should be adhered to.
The demands of the men were. In
substance:
On all passenger runs of short length,
like fiom Jersey City to Newark, pay
to bo $!l.7f per hundred miles nnd over
time after cloven consecutive hours, on
runs aggregating less than one bun
dled miles. On long distance runs,
like those to Maueh Chunk and Phila
delphia, pay lo be $.1.40 per hundred
miles. Other passenger runs, ?:;.r.O per
hundred miles.
Heavy draught engines, four cents a
mile, with a guarantee of leu miles
an hour.
The firemen demanded a. change
from the syhtem of using a hundred
miles as tho basis of calculation and
the substitution of the mile as the
unit.
Thnolliv Shea, of the firemen: John
V. Walte. of the engineers, did all tho
talking for the men. Every compro
mise proposed was found to have weak
points. Finally when It was seen that
the differences were not to be adjusted
In this manner. Superintendent Ol
hauseu presented what amounted to
the company's final say. It was that
tho company was prepared to add thir
ty thousand dollars to Us pay roll
as far as tho men In the cabs were
concerned. The pay roll to be con
sidered being that of last year. This
amounted to placing the resposlblllty
of making the men themselves dlvldn
tlie addition to their wages which the
company is willing to grant.
The trouble now atlses. tl is said
that to make the division equitable,
some of the engineers must accept a
reduction. The men on the Maueh
Chunk runs make. It Is said, as high
as S7.-10 a day. Those on the short
mn, like tho Newark branch, make
from J".2ri to $t. To effect a compio
mlho between tho two oxtremes will
now be the effort of the engineers and
firemen. The engineers on the long
runs must bo sealed down and thns-'o
on tho short inns raised.
Tho conference- adjourned tonight
wllli nail lei s in this state.
