ITALIANS MAKE A
DESPERATE ASSAULT
ON A CONTRACTOR AND THEIR
FOREMAN.
THE FORMER BADLY BEATEN
Repeatedly Clubbed on tho H'ad
After Ho Fell to tho Ground.
A Dispute Over Quitting
Time.
I1ERE was a desporato
flebt near Wm Penn
lost evoning between
tho Italians engaged
On tho section of the
Pennsylvania Kail
road that is being con
structed between town
and Glrardville, the
contractor of the
work, llobert Mc-
Adaiu, and John J.Gillan, the foreman of
the gang. Mr. McAdam was badly beaten
and will be confined to his hotel for several
days.
Tbero are two stories concerning the
origin of the battle, one told by the Italians
and the other i told by tho contractor nnd
boss,' but all agree that the fight arose over
a Question of timo for quitting'work.
'The Italians say that tho whistle of
Kohinoor colliory blew at 6 o'clock last
evoning just as an empty wagon was
brought to the pit whoro the men wero
digging and shoveling. Tho Italians
wanted to stop work, but Foreman Gillan
said it was not quitting time. One of the
Italians then called Gillan a liar and the
latter raised a pick handle. As he did so
the other Italians jumpod in and the fight
followed.
Mr. Gillan told this story to a Herald
reporter laet night: "It is our rule that if
t cart is half loaded at 6 o'clock the men
fill it before they stop work and if an
empty cart comes to tho pit at four minutes
of 6 the men are expected to fill it. It takes
about six minutes to fill u cart Lasteren-
ing a cart pulled up to the pit just as some
colliery whlstlo blew. It was not the
Kohinoor whistle. I looked at my watch
and found It was six minutes of 6 o'clock.
The Italians wanted to stop work, but I
told tbem they had started in the morning
by my watch and they would have to
finish by it. One of the Italians, named
Ross, said, 1 American boss no
good. American watch no good.'
I told tho man nottogolo work again; that
I would give him his time and he could
go to the paymaster and get his pay.
When I said this tbejfellow said, '
American boss is a and I'll
kill him.' At the same time Ross and hid
two brothers made for me. Before 1 had
time to think ono had a pick handle raised
abovo my head and another a shovel. Air,
McAdam, who was a short distance away,
started to my assistance la running ho
stumbled and fell. John Ross struck him
twice over the head with a pick handle and
his brothor, who Is a greenhorn and known
as No. 29, struck him with a shovel."
Tho remainder of the story is that tho
three Boss brothers, John, Frank and tho
greenhorn, turned again upon Gillan, after
beating JdcAdam, and chastd him almost
to the Turkey ltun colliory, where he
escaped. Gillan was not injured. Aid
Adam was picked up in an unconscious
condition and brought to his hotel In this
town. 11 o revived and his Injuries were
dressed by Dr. Stein. Tbey consist of two
ugly gashes on the top of tho head. It Is
surprising that tho skull was not fractured.
One of the Koss brothers was arrested
and placed in tho lockup of town. The
otbor two oscaped ovor the mountain In tho
direction of FrackviUe. Mr. Gillan tele
graphed to tbe police ot Port Carbon last
night, as he believed the two mon started
for an Italian headquarters at that place.

THE ASIATIC CHOLERA SGARE
Letters on tho Situation and
Sanitary Condition of tho
Town From Prominent
Citizens.
HE dreaded cholera is
threatening our land.
The officials at all tbe
ports of entry aro on
the alert day and
night to guard against
the invasion and the
authorities of all the
cities, where the first
inloction is feared should any case escape
the vigilance of tho port guards, aro busy
cleaning up and fumigating all suspicious
nest;.
But what are tho intorior cities and
towns doing? Judging from the conduct
of the Shenandoah borough officials they
are complacontly reading tho accounts of
the dreadful situation across the water and
wailing for somo cases to come here so that
they can see whtt thoy look like.
Shenandoah is ono of tho principal deS'
tinations of immigrants from all countries.
healthy and unhealthy, robust and strong,
blind, halt and lame, and yet our Borough
Council is as undisturbed oyer the threat
ening scourago as thoy would be if it only
had oxistonco in the intnrior of unexplored
Africa.
Shenandoah has as much reason to bo
alarmed as the people of New York and
Philadelphia. Ono slip of vigilance, one
piece of infected rag, yea I even a disin
fected letter from the post office, mav de
posit a microbe in town that within twenty
four hours would sweep out of existence
every soul in some Of the crowded habita
tions in tbe borough.
'Inisisan important matter. The Bor
ough Council Bhould act, and act now. It
should be in a position to call into play at a
moment's notice an efficient Board of
Health and effectually cope with tho first
case.
But tho first thing Council must do - is to
see teat there is a general cleaning ud of
public and private properties in ail sections
of tbe town and niako all as clean
as
possible, and, thcreforo, make
them loss
liable to attack.
The Herald to-day
publishes two
timely communications.
One from
leading citizen and another from a leading
citizen and physician.
Let the Counciimen read these communi
cations carefully.
Let the Councilmen act upon the sugges
tions sustained In tho letters.
Let the Councilmen bring themselves to
a relization of tbo dreadful results that may
hinge upon a moment's dolay.
Let the Councilmen act NOW.
Tho writer of tho first letter published
below says In a privato letter to the editor
of the Herald : "It seems to me wo aro
slow in realizing tbo danger we are in from
the filth in cortain sections of town, and if
you think tho abovo will help stir things
up, please publish."
"rKSSIMTST" WUITltS.
Editor Herald : As we are threatened
with a powibla visitation of cholera, which
U really an epidemic caused by filth, it
boboovos our Council to take somo action
toward putting the town in bettor sanitary
condition. A large portion of our pooplo
aro utterly ignorant of all sanitary rules,
and, should this disease got a hold upon us,
it is likoly to cause a groat many deaths.
By prompt and continued vigorous action
it may be avertod, and our oxporience with
small-pox somo years ago, and the oxponse
Incurred then, should remind tho au
thorities at the present time that "an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
I had occasion a day or two since to pass
through Pear alley from Coal to Lloyd
streets, and tbo stench I eccountorod was
sufflniont to doter one from going that wW
again In a hurry. It is not necessary to
specify localities, the Sanitary Committee
of Council, which, I take it.is empowered to
act It cases liko this, can readily locate tbe
disease-breeding parts and are, I think,
clothed with sufllciont authority to put tho
town In good condition, even if the Chief
Burgess Is not, Tho occasion seorns to me
to bo sufficiently grave to warrant extra
ordinary action by Council, in which I
have no doubt their hands will bo upheld
by tho citizens.
Pessimist
Shenandoah, Aug. SO, 1892.
FROM "MHDICUS."
Editor Herald : In view of tho
alarming prevalence of Asiatic cholera In
Russia, and its extension to other Kuropoan
countries, and the fact that the steamer
' British PrinceiB," from ono of the in-
feCtn) parts, Hamburg, has arrived at
Philadelphia, and the probability of tho
advent of the (courage in tbie country,
would it not be well to have our town
authorities act promptly and put In force
the strictest sanitary tiiPH'tm? As filth
and dirt are the aid its and promoters of
tho dioaee, it certainly is their duly to
have our town put in better condition than
now prevail!. And, in this connection,
more attention should bo given tho over
flowing and polluted outhouses in different
parts of the town. Wo have at present
diarrbio t and dysentary prevailing and tho
conditions are certainly favorable to tbe
prond of the cholera if it should chance
to reach here. True, the lateness of the
soason is in our favor, but our medical
authorities tell us that it has invaded our
shores as late as December in past -epi
demics. Ab "an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure ' it occurred to me
that the health and welfare of the people
demands that the town Ehbuld be put in as
clean condition as possible. Hoping you
will call the attention of the authorities to
the above facts, I am, respectfully,
Medicus.

Miners who carry their dynamite car
tridges in their tobacco pouches should
take warning from tbo case of John Sass,
of Oakland. On Saturday evening he had
filled his pipe and hud lit it, when the "first
thing ho know he knew nothing," and the
next was that ho could not see, some of his
tooth wore gone, as was his front hair. His
chin and nose were badly spoiled and all in
all, his face was a total wreck. His eyes
will be all right after a short time, but it's
another case of "didn't know it was load
ed," and it is safe to suppose that Mr. Sass
will carry his dynamite anywhere but in
his tobacco pouch hereafter. Ashland
