enty-tl rioters were arrested, and were taken on board a train, but the foreign-born Amazons made a detour and by; a flank morement captured the train and took charge of their husbands. The engine was cut loom and the trainmen and constables were glad enough to es-- cape on it; leaving the coaches sidetracked with the prisoners in charge of tlie women.

Explosions of the bombs, firing of guns, blowing of horns and beating of cans can bo heard at hours. The whole community seems to be and no one knows whit moment the worst may come. The coke com panies have sworn out injunctions against thirty-three of the leaders, and also instituted criminal prosecutions sgainst tliem. 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 with out the assistance of the troops.

dangerously stabbed his father-in law, and was then killed by Conoqulto Chinchella. a son of the murdered wo man. A general fight followed, in which Gaboth's wife was stabbed and also her brother. Antonio Chinchella, his wife and their two sons, Conoquito and Anselmo, aged eighteen and twenty years respectively, lived in three rooms ai 1 93 Grand street. Hoboken.

The house, is a tenement. Tbe Chinchella's daughter and her hus band, Angelo GaBoth, were visiting the Chinehellas last night. Galmth wss a shiftless fellow of evil disposition. Mrs. Chinchella had saved up some money.

and there is no doubt thst Caboth knew about this, and wanted It It looks as if his visit was planned for tho sole purpose of securing it, and it is sus pected that tie contemplated murder when he went with his wife to visit her family. When the retiring hour came last night Gaboth's wife slept in one room with her mother, and Gaboth slept in the second room with tho elder Chin chells, his father-in-law. Chinchella's two sons occupied the third At 12 SO o'clock this morning, whilo all the others were soundly sleeping. Gaboth arose from his bed, and with a stiletto in his. hand, went Into, his mo flier 4 law's room.

The west instant a shriek ran through the apartments. It lasted but an instant, however, tor Gaboth, with one blow, had sunk his stiletto in the abdomen of Ids mother-in-law. Tlie cry of the dying woman slightly fcroud her husband in the next room, but the sound not being repeated, he rolled over in bed snd went to sleep again. Ga both's wife sleeping with her mother made no sign or motion, remaining per fectly quiet. The blood from her moth er's wound ran over her.

but still she did not stir. It" seems, therefore, that she was well aware of what her hus band' was doing, and it looks as it she were a party to Plot to murder her own mother Gaboth stole anUn into the room where old Chinchella- slept. and a moment later he tnrust tlie stiletto into tho ne-k er. He meant to end the old man's life with one blow. but he missed tlie vital spot.

As the blow descended Chinchella gave a cry which woke up Conoquito, his son. who was sleeping with his brother in the next room. Conoquito lumped from his bed, looked through the door into bis father's room, and took in the situation at a glance. He quickly seized his own stiletto, and sprang at Gaboth like a A fierce contest followed, the two men fighting up and down tlie room, strik ing at each other, but warding off each otlier's blows. Suddenly Gaboth's wife sprang out of bed, flung herself between the eombatanto and partly separated them, but was stabbed twice herself in doing so, though not dangerously.

Then Chinchella's older brother seized his sister, tore- her away from the contestants, and let tlte two men fight it out. A moment later Gaboth flung up hi arms with a loud cry, and fell dead upon the floor, young Chin chella having driven his stiletto through Gaboth's left eye into his brain. As Gaboth was falling, Chinchella drew out bis weapon and plunged it Into the man's left side, piercing. tbe heart. Gaboth's wife flung herself on her husband's body.

wailing and screaming. Her lamentations and the previous noises of the conflict had aroused the other inhabitants of the house. A clamor followed frr ad mlttance, and to the new comer. Frank Gergella and Joseph Caperout, young Chinchella- explained the terrible see no of bloodshed. Gerella and Caperout advised him to go to police liesdquarters at once, and he did so.

The Sergeant in charge detained him, and Dr. 9imon hastily dressed young Chinchella's wound," which he had received in the fight with Gaboth. Chinchella was stabbed during the fight, but not dan gerously. Old Chinchella was removed in the am bulance to St. Mary's Hospital, unable to speak.

Mrs. Gaboth snd Chin chella's brother were abo taken to St. Mary's Hospital. Tlie bodies of Mrs. Chinchella and Gaboth were taken to I Partlow's morgue.
