Disorder in the Coke Kegion—Leisenring Works Surrounded. Scorrparz, Pa., April 20.—Rioting by the strikers continues in the coke regions. The Leisenring No. 2 plant of the Frick Coke Com- pany has been kept in an uproar continuously since Saturday night. The works are sur- rounded by the mob day and night. Explo- sions of bombs, firing of guns, blowing of horns and beating’ of cans ‘can be heard atall hours. “The whole community seems to be dazed and no one knows what moment the word may come. The ‘coke companies have sworn out injunctions against thirth-three of the leaders and also instituted criminal charges against them. ‘The injunction papers and warrants have been placed in the hands of the sheriff and constables, but they claim to be powerless to serve them without the assistance of the troops. The suits instituted against forty strikers by Schoenmaker & Co. came up this morning, but were postponed until the June term of court. At the request of the defendants, who were not ready, the same course will be pursued in the Rainey cases, which come up in the United States court at Pittsburg today. THE CORONER'S JURY. The coroner's jury assembled at Mt. Pleasant at 1 o'clock this afternoon to consider the evi- dence in the Morewood investigation, but no verdict is expected until Inte this afternoon. ‘There were no evictions at Morewood today, owing toa legal hitch, the notices having been dated Sunday. It is probable the strikers will leave their houses quietly. ‘The company re- orts 104 men at work Morewood today. Painter's plant is running full and the Black Hill ‘mines and this block of ovens were started. Alarge mass mecting is in progress Mt. Pleasant this afternoon, but everything is quiet. ‘THE VERDICT. The coroner's jury today concluded its in- vestigations. It finds that the Hungarians were Killed by the deputy sheriffs, but says nothing about the justifiability of the action. Mar. A.

The National Colors and the Massachusetts Ensign Raised in Baltimore. Bazrrworg, April 20.—At sunrise today Man- ager Shannon raised the national colors and the Massachusetts ensign over the Carrollton Hotel in honor of the Worcester Light Infanti the special guests of the hotel. ‘Ten o'clock was the hour appointed for thestreet parade to begin. Fifteen minutes before that hour Capt. Davis had his men in line awaiting the arrival of his escort, a company of the fifth regiment, the crack regiment of the south. Five minutes to 10 the escort and its band arrived at the Car- rollton, and promptly at the appointed hour the command “march” was given. The fifth started off with its jaunty step and military swing, followed by tle visitors, every man of whom looked every inch the soldier. Maryland and Masachusetts veterans afoot and in carriages brought up the rear. A great crowd lad gathered in the neighborhood of the Carrollton and heartily cheered the Worcester boys, All along the line of march there was much hand clapping among the peo- ple who filled the sidewalks. THE PAHADE REVIEWED. At the city hall Mayor Davidson and members of the municipal government reviewed the parade, One hourand a half after the start the parade was dismissed in front of the Carrolltoi An excursion about the harbor, a visi to the great painting, ‘Ihe Battle of G burg,” and rambles about the city will fill in the day.

New York, April 20.—A fire this morning in the six-story double tenement house 14 Henry street, caused a panic among the many inmates. Philip Deitz, eighteen months old,was so badly burned that he will die. Rosa Gambisky, aged nineteen years, was badly injured by jumping from the third story to the street. She would undoubtedly have ‘been killed had she not landed on the shoulders of a fireman. She sus- tained a concussion of the back and was taken to the hospital. : The fire started in the apartments of Morris Deitz, on the first floor front. Patrick Gillen rushed up to the door of Deitz’s apart- ments, but it was locked. He burst into and grabbed the two children—Mary, aged four years, and Fhilip, the latter being enveloped in Hames, and when Gillen reached the sidewalk the body was almost roasted to death. The building was occupied by twenty-seven families. Neither Deitz nor his wife could be found. The fire caused only #6,000 lose. Rae EES THE PRESIDENT’S TRIP. Welcomed to San Antonio, Tex., in a Rain- storm. Sax Axrosio, Tex., April 20.—The presi- dential party arrived here at 9 o'clock this morning promptly on time. For the first time since their departure from Washington they were welcomed in a heavy rain storm. The reception was most enthusiastic, but under the cireum- stances the effect of the liberal street deeora- tions was spoiled by the steady downpour, which necessitated the abandonment of all out door ceremonies. ‘The reception committee included Gen. Stan- ley, Represenative Crane, Mayor Callahan, cit- ens and a number of Indies. The President was received wish a military salute of twenty- one guns, and on leaving the train was escorted through a line composed of Grand Army men and confederate veterans. ‘The party were then taken in carriages to the Grand Opera House, which was beautifully dec- orated for the occasion. Addresses of welcome were made by Gov. Hogg und Mayor Callahan and responded to by the President, Secretary Busk and Postmaster General Wanamaker. ‘The President then held a public reception, which was largely attended. A short visit was siier pacil adie b> tes lina gon as ext Sam Houston, eo ly were enter- tained by Gen.

Democrats to Capture Alliance Men if Possi- ble—Cleveland Still the Favorite. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Ricumoxp, Va., April 20.—The legislature which will be elected next November will choose a United States Senator—Senator Dan- iel’s successor—but as Daniel will be his own successor without shadow of opposition the peices will lack one element of excitement which was felt in 1885 when the state democ- racy was divided between Daniel and Barbour. The cam , however, will not be without interest, for this will be the first time that the Farmers’ Alliance will take a real hand in Vir- ginia politics. The alliance is numerically strong throughout the state, and among the active men in that organization are many ex- perienced politicians. They will unquestion- ably strive to get control ef the ture 80 as to pass a stringent railroad bill if nothing else. The question is then will the alliance men be put up and elected as such or will the democratic rs be shrewd enough to makeadeal with the farmers and take for democratic candidates in the rural districts alliance men only. ALLIANCE MEN TO BE LOOKED AFTER. The democratic state chairman, Mayor J. Taylor Ellyson of this city, who is regarded as one of the most adroit politicians that Virginia has produced in recent. times, will put himself | on good terms with the alliance people if posai- ble, and try to dissuade them from nominating independent candidates, but in spite of demo- | crate efforts many independent nominatious | will be made, especially in old republican dis- tricts. ‘The counties elect county officers next month and it is understood that just as soon as that excitement is over Chairman Ellyson will hold a conference with prominent democrats from the different sections of the state, so as to get himself thoroughly posted and discuss a policy for next fall. MOST DEMOCRATS ARE FOR CLEVELAND. Some of the most pronounced anti-Cleveland democrats in the United States are to be found here in Virginia; the majority of the active workers, it is claimed, are for Cleveland in 1892 regardless of his position on silver. Cer- tain itis the majority of the democratic rank and file are for him. “The democrats expect to make tariff reform the chief issue in 1892 and the party in this state is almost solid for a tariff reform measure. A canvass having been made very recently among intelligent farmer democrats as to which was the more important question, silver or tariff, three-quarters re- sponded promptly that tariff reform should be made the more prominent of the two. ‘This would seem to indicate that_ the agricultural eople are relaxing their efforts in favor of ee silver, for only a few months ugo the Vir- ginia farmers were clamoring loudly for free coinage and making it the absorbing topic of discussion. ACTIVITY THE MARKET. It is Confined to a Few Stocks—Prices Finn and Strong. New Yorx, April 20.—Activity revisited the stock market this morning, but there was no change in the narrowness of the market, the trading being still confined principally to St. Paul, “Atchison, Burlington, Hock.

The rest of the list, however, de- veloped no feature whatever, and even these prices were not held to the end of the hour, the pressure to sell at the advance causing a slight reaction toward the end. The strong under- tone remained unimpaired, however, and at 11 o'clock the market was active and steady to firm at fractional gains over the opening figures. eS FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Forgery and Fraud in Regard to Real Estate Charged by Mra. Brown. Mrs. Mary C. Brown has, by Samucl Maddox, filed « bill in equity against Frank H. Pelouze and .%g os B. Wimer and B. Lewis Blackford, trustecY to set aside a deed of trust on lot 7, square 507, to Wimer and Blackford, trustees, to secure a promissory note alleged to have been made by her September 16 last payable to Reuben T. Phillips. Mrs. Brown states that she never made such dced or note and they are forgeries, and on information and belief she says that the acknowledgment purporting to have been taken by Charles 8. Shreve is false and fraudulent, his name and seal both being forged. She states that the note indorsed Rouben T. Phillips is in the hands of Pelouze, who claims that it is a genuine note secured by a valid deed of trust, and refuses to surrender it for cancellation. She further states that she is unable to rel the Broperty owing to this deed being a cloud on her title and asks that the deed be declared void and that Pelouze be restrained from negotiating the note. The payee of the note is a son-in-law of Mrs. Brown:who left her in January, and he issaid to have drawn upward of $3,000 of Mrs. Brown's money from the Central National Bank and to have been engaged in other transactions to the Prejudice of his mother-in-law. sexteorios RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS. Saturday's Accident the Most Disastrous in the History of the Service. The railroad accident at Kipton, Ohio, on Saturday, which resulted in the death of #ix railway clerks, is one of the most disastrous known in the history of the railway mail serv- ice. There was a greater loss of life by that one accident than is recorded in an entire year. In the year 1889 the phenomenal record of the death of ten clerks was made. Last year the total number of deaths was only four. In 1884 there were seven deaths, while there have been several years when only one or two deaths have oc- curred from railroad accidents. As it hap- pened there wore ten postal clerks on the train that was in the collision on Saturday and of this number four escaped with their lives, but it is not known whether they were injured or not. As there are nearly 6,000 clerks in the service it will be seen that the number injured and killed form an inconsiderable percentage of the total number of employes. Owing to the in- crease in the railroad milage of the gountry and the faster time adopted, especially for maii trains, there is an appreciable increase ¢ach year in the number of railroad accidents. The proportion, however, of such accidents to the extent of ‘the service and the number of ‘ople carried is growing less and. this is be- lieved to be due to the adoption of safety ap- pliances of all kinds, such as vestibule trains, patent switches, signal systems, &c. NO VIOLATION OF LAW. What Commodore Folger Says About the Alleged Aliens in the Navy Yard. Commodore Folger, chief of the bureau of ordnance, Navy Department, said to a Stax re- porter this morning that there is nothing for him to do in regard to the protest by the local Federation of Labor against the employment of two workmen, who, it was claimed by that or- ganization, had been placed on the pay rolls of the navy yard in violation of the alien labor law. In'the first place, he added, the men em- ployed are American citizens, and in the second place the law was quite thoroughly scratinized before any steps were taken. He continued to remark that there had been no violation of the statutes, and hence there is no action to take. THE HIGHEST NUMBER YET. One Hundred and Ninety-One Deaths in This City Last Week.

The fast driving on the Conduit road still continues, and uniess.a stop is put to it some one will surely be killed. Yesterday there were two sunash-nps within the short space of one hour, in which a young white man named Adams was severely cut about the face. Thougk the owner of the other escaped personal juries, his horse and buggy were both cousider- ably used up. On Sunday this otherwise pleasant road ix turned into a regular race track from the dis- tributing reservoir to Cabin John’s bridge, and adriver must be skilltul indeed to guide hix hora through these racing teams without colliding. Policemen Murphy and Amos, who were on duty, put a stop to a good deal of the recklessness inside the District line. They stopped one horse and buggy and put two oc- cupants of the vehicle under arrest. One of them struck Officer Amos in the eye and in- flicied a painful injury. The man who com- mitied the assault was registered as William Cunningham and_ his partner gave his name ax ry Baldwin. The former left £30 collateral the latter 5. Today in the Police Court the collaterals were forfeited. Policeman Law required John Ely and Henry Graham to leave $10 each for fast driving on the same road and their collateral was also for- feited. ” ‘The racers seem to throw all care asideand with whip and whistle urge their horses on ata break- neck speed, regardless of approaching vehicler and Aare Bullics on either side of the road, into which they may be hurled.
