BLOODY AFFRAY
ITALIANS AND LITHUANIANS ENGAGED
IN A DESPERATE CONFLICT
LAST NIGHT.
ONE VICTIM DIED THIS MORNING
WOMAN SEVENTY YEARS
SHOT TWICE.
OF AGE
Knives, Revolvers and a Winchester Were
Used In the Conflict-Three Italians,
Under Arrest and Two Make
Their Escape The Town
Terrorized by the
Affair.
The borough was thrown into an intense
state of excitement last evening by ono of
the most desperato and bloody street lights
11 tho history of tho place. It Is doubtful If
a conflict as sanguiuo in diameter ever be
fore took place on any of tlio streets. It was a
haml-to-hand shooting and subbing allair of
tlio kind read about as occurring in somo
border town.
Five Italians and four Lithuanians wcro
directly Interested iu tho conflict, ouo of tho
latter being a woman 70 years of ago. Jlcr
part in tho atfair, however, was as a protec
tress of her son and, as it happens in almost
every caso whero ono Interferes lu brawls to
save another from punishment, bIio suffered
tho most. Tho victims worn :
Jani: Zukuski, Lithuanian, widow, aged
70 years. Shot in left side of breast and rear
of the left hip. Fatally injured.
Joe Zukuski, son of Jauo, Slyears, single-,
shot lu tlio back, left side; back and head
slashed with kniio.
Joe Lahanowski, Lithuanian, 23 years,
stabbed and shot iu back.
Pktko JIaconi, Italian, 37 years, wife
and threo children; shot through loft thigh
Tbo light originated iu tho Polish saloon
kept at the corner of Coal and Catharino
streets by ono Tavititus. It is a low
placo of which tho respectablo residents of
the vicinity complain bitterly. As tho best
connected story goes tho Lithuanians, with
the exception of tho woman, and tho Italians,
Petro JIaconi excepted, had been drinking
in tho saloon shortly before sis o'clock in
tho evening. Tho canso of tho disturbance
has not been developed clearly, but It is at
leged by tho Polo and Lithuanians that tho
Italians olfered to take liberties with a girl
in tho saloon. Tho story of tho witnesses
before Justice Williams comuieuco with tho
departure of tho Italians for their homes at
"tho Hats," in Toole's row, which is on Coal
street, and about a sauaro west of tho saloon.
Tho Italians, it is alleged, returned to tho
saloon armed with a Winchester rillo, re
volvers and knives. There wero five of
thorn, Petro Jleco, Jliko Tomara, Jliko
Minolta. "Ills Joo" Mlnella, brother of
Jliko, and Frank Jlinella, Hike's sou.
Joo Zukuski and Joo LauanowsKi wore
still drinking in tho saloon. The Italians
taunted them to como out of tho placo and
Zukuski tried to comply with tho request
Tho Italians fcaid if tho Lithuanians camo
out they would butcher them. Zukuski a
fow minutes later left tho saloon by a roar
door with Labanowski and walked down Coal
street until opposite No. 515, tho former's
homo. Tho other boards there. When they
reached there, according to ono of tlio wit
nesses, James Itupert, tho Lithuanians camo
in contact with tho Italiau.Petro ilaconl, who
had left tho saloon with a can of beer and was
obliged to pass tlio Zukuski house on tho way
to his homo at tho flats. JIacoui had no part
in tlio quarrel. Tlio other Italians had
proceeded tho Lithuainaus clown Coal street
and about 15 minutes nao. oiapseu uctwceu
the challenges at the saloon and tho meeting
with JIaconi. According to Huport 1-abano-
wski pushed Maconl so that ho bumped
against Zukuski and Jlagoue was thou
knocked into tho gutter. Tho flvo other
Italions hastened back and then tho shootiug
and stabbing started. Mrs. Zukuski rushed
out of her house to try and got her sou, Joe,
out of tho coullict and whllo she
was thus engaged received her two
wnnnda. It is aliened that Miko Jlinella
flro tho shots from his 41 calibre revolver.
Witnesses sav that at least twelve shots wero
flrcd lu tho conflict. Petro Jleco is charged
with having mado bloody use of a knife. Tho
Italians luinncd tinon ZukusKl alter no nau
fallen stabbed and shot. Two of tho Italians
"Big Joo" and Frank Jliuolla made their
escape. Ituport says ho saw ouo ot them
draw a rovolveraud shoot Zukuski. Anthony
Zukuski, a brothor of Joo's, thou ran uut of
tho house, and nroil at ono ot tlio Italians
Immediately after tho shooting an oast
bound electric car reached tho scene and De
tectlvo Iticliard Amour, who was returning
from Glrardvillo a passenger on tho front
platform, took in tho situation. Ho jumped
from tho oar and the excited crowd directed
his attention to an alloy at tlio cud of the
Zukuski row of houses, where tho ulllixir
caught Miko Jlinella. Tho Italian curried u
Winchester rillo and was hurrying away.
Amour drew hi own revolver and grubbed
tho Winchester but Jlluclla retained his hold
on It. Amour called for assistance, but uu
ono responded. An Italian womau tried to
tako tho officer's revolver, but failed and
then took ouo from Jliuella's coat pocket
and disappeared. Who tho woman was
Amour has not been ablo to determine
While tho detective was struggling witli
Jlinella six or soveu shots were tired by tho
pair and narrowly missed Amour, whose,
largo body suicided tno miun. it
known that Anthony ICukuski lliod ono of
tho shots and it is claimed tiiat they wcro
not intended fur Amour, but for Jlinella.
Finally William Iiyau and JUclmcl Hills
went to tlio assistances of Amour and Jlinella
was overpowered and taken to Justice
William's olUco, a crowd of over 500 men
women and children following and tho
vicinity of tho office was packed with people
Meanwhile Chief Tosh and Lieutenant
Leo went to tho scene of tlio coullict and
arrested Petro Jleco and Jliko Tuuiara, who
wero quietly passing along Coal street,
towards Jlatu. They wero also taken to
Justice Williams' olllco and Identified as
being Implicated iu tho uflalr. Several
witnwnes declared that Jlinella, tho man
Araotir arrested, wus tho ono who shot Jlrs.
Zukuski.
The Italians wcra taken to the lockup and
ox-Chief llurgcss .Smith and Michael Hughes
wcro placed on guard, as it was feared tho
enraged Lithuanians would attack the place.
Tho police then returned to Coal street mid
had ti, talk with Petro Mayone, tho wounded
Italian, with a view to securing traces of
"Dig Joo" and Frank JIanella, tho inbwlui;
men, but In this thoy wero unsuccessful.
Tho mountain north of tho sccno was alio
carefully searched until long after dark by
tho police, hut thoy failed to find tho fugitives.
Tho threo Italians in custody wcro under
tho guard of Smith and Hughes in the Coun
cil Chamber all night anil this morning wero
again taken before Justice Williams, wlicro
they wcro put under rigid examination.
They wero then committed without ball and
taken to Pottsvillo.
Jlinella says that all tho Italians except
Meco camo from Model, Virginia, nlxiut six
weeks ago. Last spring they worked on tho
streets of Wllkosbarro. Jlinella says that
Zukitskl and Labanowski trlod to beat
him t in a Polish saloon on Coal
street last Sunday afternoon and last night's
fight was a sequel to tho Sunday disturbance.
Ho says the Lithuanians tried to pick a light
with him in Didus' saloon and ho left the
placo and went homo. Ho returned with
his Winchester, a revolver and a knife, but
before ho could uso them tho fight was over
and Amour nrrested him. Tho latter part of
this story is evidently false, as tho knife
Amour took from Jliuella's pocket was soiled
with blood. It is what tho Italians call a
shoemaker's knife. Tho blade is -11 inches
long, about 1 an inch wido and with tapering
point.
l)rs. Stein and Church attended tho Lith
uanian victims. Thoy say Jlrs. and "Itlg
Joo" Ziikufski will die. Tho latter was
delirious this morning. Tlio knife wound ho
received under tbo shoulder blade- was
about eight inchos long and almost nu inch
deep. Eight sticlics wero put in it. Tlio cut
between his shoulders Is about threo inches
long and shallow.
Labanowski has a bullet wound in tho
back, on the left side, and a stab wound be
tween tlio shoulders, ills condition is
serious.
Jlrs. Zukuski's caso was pronounced hope
less from tho first. Her advanced ago made
her caso worso. Ono bullet wound was about
threo inches below tho right breast, tho other
at the rear of tho right hip.
Iligjoo" Zukuski bears an uncnviablo
reputation. Ho served a term of thrco
months In tho Pottsvillo jail for stealing
beer and the police say ho is a dangerous
mail.
Thus far no Lithuanians have been
arrested, but tho two wounded ones nro kept
under surveillance Somo additional arrests
will doubtless bo mado within a day or two.
as tho more tho caso is sifted tho more tho
authorities become convinced that somo
Lithuanians aro at least equally guilty of
starting tho fracas with tho Italians.
Petro Maconl, tho wounded Italian, was
attended by Dr. J. Pierce lioberts and is not
considered dangerously injured. The bullet
passed clean through his left thigh. It Is be
lioved, from the character of tho injury, that
ho received a ball from Jliuella's Winchester
Maconl says he had nothing to do with tho
fight iu tho saloon and was on his way homo
with a can of beer when Joo Zukuski and
Labanowski attacked him. Ho was kuocked
down and shot upon rcgainiug his feet. Ho
believes that Anthony Zukuski shot him at
a short range.
Tho alfray has caused more oxcitcment in
tno town man lias been experienced siuco
tho striko riots and developments will un
doubtedly bo awaited by tho public with
much Interest, Steps liavo been taken to
trace tho two missing Italians.
Dotectlvo Amour says his struggles in tho
alloy with Jlinella whilo shoU wcro being
fired was an oxperionco of more thrilling
character ithan ho had in tho flilberton
riot, although ho escaped being shot yester
day.
ONE VICTIM DEAD.
Petil .Maconl, tho Wounded Italian, Tali en
to Jail.
Joo Zukuski died from tho effects of his
wounds nt 10:15 o'clock this morning. Ho
was delirious for several hours before his
death and when left alono for a few minutes
wrapped a quilt about himself and left tho
house Ho was hurried backhand died soon
after.
Jlrs. Zukuski is steadily sinking and may
dio at any moment. ,
Tills afternoon Chief of Police Tosh had
secured sufficient evidence that Petri Maconl
tho wounded Italian, knew more about tlio
afl'ray than ho oared to tell. Soveral peoplo
say Maconl used a knife. After consul-
tatlon with Deputy District Attorney JIc
Laughlin and Dr. Huberts it was considered
safo to tako Maconl to Justice William,'
office.
When JIacoui was arralguodWo' Lithu
anian young men named AntttSf (kiberaud
Joo Koluski appeared and swfini that four
Italians loft tho saloon where Wb disturbance
started. Joo Zukufski and Joe Lobanowskt

gavo tin-in to a boy with instructions to tako

got Joo Zukufski Into tho house when Jlwsn
drew a knife nnd tried to stab Joe. Ibann
wski knocked Jleco into tho guttur and
then Maconl stabbed Joe Zukuski. Jltnella
then ran up and fired threo shots at Zukuski
and the fight became geuonil.

SUCCEEDING RAMON 0, WILLIAMS
The Latter Has Held the Position for Over
Twenty Years Past, But P.ocently
Placed His Resignation In tho
Hands of President Cleveland.
WAsittKOTON, April 11. Fltzhugh Leo,
f Virginia, has been nominated to bo
consul gonernl of tho United Stntea nt Ha
vana, Cuba, vlco H. O. Willlams,rcslgned.
Tho resignation of Uamon O. Williams
from his olllco 03 consul gonernl of tho
United States nt Hnvnnn, which was made
public through tho nomination of Gonernl
Fltihugh Leo ns his successor, caused no
surprlso hero. For months past rumor has
been busy with Mr. Williams' nnmo, and
it has repeatedly been stnted during that
tlmo that ho had resigned. The denials
that wcro obtained from official sources
woro nlwoys so phrased ns to carry only
the statement that Mr. Williams wns nt
tho tlmo of denial still In office, and tho
conviction obtained, based not only on
those denials, but on certain expressions
lot fall by Mr. Williams during his visit
to Washington Inst yoar, that his resigna
tion has been nt tho disposal of thu presi
dent for somo tlmo past.
President Clovolnml has long been de
sirous of nppolutlng General Fltzhugh Leo
to a placo In tho diplomatic or consular
Bsrvlco. Lnst year ho appointed him In
ternal rovenuo collector of tho western dis
trict of Virginia, and his friends woro a
1lt.t1n snrnrliirtil tliufc hn ncnnntnil tbn nlnno.
but It is now known that he did so at tho
urgent request of many of tho lending cit
izens of tho district.
General Leo Is n llncnl descendant of tho
colobrntod "Light Horso Harry" Loo, of
tho revolution, and Is a nephow of Gen
oral Robert K. Leo. Ho was born at Cler
mont, Fairfax county, Vn., Nov. 19, 1835,
and was graduutod at West Point In 1850.
Ho wns sovoroly wounded In a fight with
Indians, and In May, 1800, ho was ordered
to report at West Point n3 Instructor of
cavalry. At tho beginning of tbo civil
war, in 1801, ho resigned his commission
in tho United States army and entorcd tho
Confedorato sorvlco, quickly rising to tho
rank of major gonernl.
Aftor tho war closed ho retired to his
homo In Stafford county. In 1874 ho mado
a speech at Hunker Hill, which attracted
wldo attontlon. In tho winter and spring
of 18S3-3 ho mado a tour through tho south
ern states In tho Interest of tho Southern
Historical society. In 1835, after a spirited
campaign, ho defeatod John A, Wise, ro-
ndjustor, for govornor of Virginia. Ho
wns subsequently an aspirant for tho
Unltod States sonato to succoed Mr. Hun-
ton, but was defeated in tho Democratic
legislative caucus by Thomas S. Martin by
a very closu voto.
Hamon O. Williams, who lias boon our
consul at Havnna for over twenty years
past, was in Washington somo tlmo ago
to explain why General Campos uoslred
Ills recall. Matters wero arranged, and ho
returned to his post. Ho was born at
Washlngtou fifty years ago, and was
takon to Cuba when a child, nnd roslded
thero for soveral years. Later ho roturnod
to Washington nnd beenmo a nowspapor
reportor, but not succeeding In journal
ism as ho hoped ho went back to tho
"Qucon of tho Antilles," became- a mer
chant, nnd mado money so rnpldly that ho
was ablo to rotlro on a competence lu I8il.
Three years later ho was appointed consul
general.
Tho salary of the offlco Is $0,000 a year.
