FRIDAY, APRIL 3. 1891.
Coming Together.
By way of emphasizing the leading
thought in the DAILY GAZETTE editori-
al yesterday, we re-produce to-day the
views of the New York Mail and Ex-
press touching the great bereavement
sustained by New York City in the
death of Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby,
whose religion was of a character to
commend itself to his fellow citizens as
well on Monday as on Sunday. While
in the past there have been by far too
few clergymen of the Howard Crosby
type, it is peculiarly gratifying to know
that, by reason of the slow, but sure,
obliteration of distinctively denomina-
tional landmarks, such men are not
likely to be scarce in the future. Even’
from the standpoint of Mr. Worldly.
Wisdom there is everything to be said
in favor of encouraging the growth of
that class of ministers and nothing
against it.
The Mail and Express editorial, to
which we refer, is so exceptionally
sound in other directions than the one
specified that it is worthy of re-produc-
tion in every newspaper in Christen-
dom. It is headed “Save Dr. Crosby’s
Church,” and its full text is as follows :
“One of the noticeable things about
Presbyterian, Native-born Dr. Howard
Crosby’s funeral was that it was con-
ducted mainly by foreign-born as well
as other-denominational clergyman.
Of the five officiating clergymen Dr.
John Hall was the only Presbyterian,
and Dr. James M. King the only Amer-
ican born. Dr.‘ Hall is Irish born, and
Dr. Taylor is Scotch and Congrega-
tional. Dr. Mac Arthur is Baptist, Dr.
Rainsford Episcopalian, and both are
Canadians. Dr. King is Methodist.
This shows the cosmopolitan character
of our city, the universal loving heart
of Dr. Crosby, and his fellowship with
all ministers of the gospel. Bishop
Potter was there; so was Dr. Morgan,
and other Epis00palian clergymen; and
not one of them would deny that Dr.
Crosby has now become a real priest
unto God. Dr. Elmendorf. Dr. Remen-
snyder, Dr. R. R. Booth, a delegation
of four clergyman from Philadelphia,
delegations from the Young Men’s
Christian Association. Walter T. Hatch,
a trustee of St. Paul’s Institute at Tar-
sus; officers of various Sunday schools,
mission chapels, charity. temperance,
hospital and other eleemosynary insti-
tutions; hosts of devout and honorable
women, crowds of sorrowing friends,
all, all were there; and many more
that the building could not hold.
Now preserve the church in which he
preached. Let no mercenary hand be
laid upon it, to sell it. Keep the light
always burning on the candlestick
where he tended it so long.
Trustees rob the altars of God when
they presume to lay violent hands on
property once dedicated to God, and to
sell it for covetousness’ sake, because
in their short-sighted, worldly wisdom
they think they can use the proceeds
of it to better advantage elsewhere.
Theirs is not the province to determine
any such question. Their duty is
merely tohold the legal title in perpet-
uity under man’s laws, but never to
part with it.
If every church which has sold itself
and fled from the lower part of the city
had resisted the mercenary pleas, and
maintained itself where it was original-
ly dedicated to God, the morals of this.
city would be fifty per cent. better than
they are; the number of murders and
suicides would be fifty per cent. less
than it is; the squalor, disease and
crime would be only half what they
are, and the city would be much hand-
somer b reason of possessing many
more quiet and di nified architectural
ornaments in the orm of churches.
The best monument that could be to
Dr. Crosby, is the perpetuation of the
church edifice in which he was so splen-
did a minister; and, if need be. its en-
dowment so that it should always be
self-sustaining. ’ ’

PITTSBURG, April 3.—Governor Pattison
has ordered the Tenth regiment, of Wash-
ington, Pa., and Eighteenth regiment, of
Pittsburg, to assemble and proceed at
once to the coke region. Sheriff Clawson
telegraphed to Governor Pattison for the
militia, as he feared the Huns and other
rioters, who number thousands, will arm
themselves, overpower the deputies and
kill them all before theyban realize the
situation. The officials here are greatly
alarmed over the situation, which is hour-
ly growing more serious.
The Standard Works Attacked.
Despatches from Mount Pleasant state
that at about 3 o’clock Thursday morning
a mob of 500 men began rioting at the
Standard works. They destroyed some of
the company’s property and then proceed-
ed to cut the telephone and telegraph lines
of the coke company so that no warnings
could be sent to the people at Morewood.
About 3 o’clock a party of rioters between
400 and 500 strong marched to Morewood.
In the meantime the company’s em-
ployee at the Standard works hurriedly
repaired the telephone lines and sent word
to Morewood that the strikers would at-
tack the works in three places, and had a _
well laid plan to destroy the whole plant.
The deputy sheriffs were soon in readiness
to receive the attack. The men were di-
vided into three parties, Captain Lauer
having charge of the party that was placed
behind the big gates of the barn and stable
inclosure.
Seven Fell Dead.
As the rioters passed the company’s
store they made an attack on it and raided
it as far .as they could in a brief time,
breaking the windows and doing other
damage. They then marched to the barn
inclosure and attempted to break down
the gates. They succeeded in doing this,
and as they entered Captain Lauer called
out to them to halt or he would fire upon
them.
Their answer was to fire a volley in the
direction of the deputies, none of whom
was seriously injured. Captain Lauer then
gave the order to fire. Two volleys were
fired before the mob broke and ran. Seven
men fell dead in the public road and about
forty were wounded. The rioters then
broke up into small groups and'made their
escape in various directions.
The deputies who took part in the riot
were all full grown, experienced men, and
they were armed to the teeth. A more de-
liberate arrangement for the contemplated
trouble was never made. Last night Super-
intendent Pickard summoned his deputies
and told them that a. raid was contem-
plated on the works. He formed them in
line and examined the firearms of each
one. He then presented each of the men
with a Winchester rifle, drilled them inrthe
use of the weapon, and ordered them on
duty. When they were retiring Superin-
tendent Pickard said:
Determined Deputies.
“I will be in command. , I have received
positive information that our works are
to be raided. I have promised protection
to our men, and I must give it to them.
then the raiders come obey me. Fire the
first shot into the air. If the raiders do
not retreat fire the second shot and keep
on firing while you have ammunition.
Protect the company’s property, protect
the men at work and protect your own
lives. The man in my employ who runs 1'
will shoot dead' on the spot. ’Any man
who is not willing to accept my terms will
please drop into the rear, and I will send
him home under guard.”
No one dropped back. All the deputies
awaited further orders.
“Is everybody satisfied?” asked the su-
perintendent.
1' “Yes, yes,” was the reply all along the
me.
A report has just reached here that the
Huns have the deputies surrounded, and
their friends are almost frantic lest they
will be killed.
Sheriff Clawson is exceedingly anxious
for the militia, as he is afraid his deputies
will not be able to cope with the strikers
should they succeed in procuring arms.
The Killed.
PITTSBURG, April 3.—A special from
Morewood says the following were the
casualties in the morning’s rioting:
Killed—James Broehle, shot through
breast; Paul Dohannis, in head; John
Fudor, left eye; Valentine Zedel, neck;
Anton Rist, head; Jacob Shucoskey, head;
Creszo Binero, breast.
