OPINIONS OF THE COUNT! OFFICERS
A riot act for Philadelphia county was
passed May 31, 1S4L By the act of March
20, 1849, its provisions were extended to Al
legheny county. Section 7 of the act is as
follows: ,
In all cases where any dwelling house or
other building or property, real or personal,
has been or shall be destroyed -nithin the
county of Philadelphia, In consequence of
any mob or riot, it shall be lawful for the
person or persons interested in and owning
such propel ty to bring suit against the said
county where such property was situatod,
and beinsr for the recovery of Buch dan;asps
as he or they sustained by reason of the de
struction thereof, and the amount which
shall be recovered In said action shall be
paid out of the county tieasury, on war
rants drawn by tlio commissioners thereof,
who are herebv required to draw the same
as soon as said damages are finally fixed and
ascertained.
VThen DamncPS are Not Collectable.
Section 8 No person or persons shall be
entitled to the benefits or this act, if it shall
appear that the destruction of his or their
property was caused by his or their illegal
or improner conduct, nor unless it be made
to appear that he or they, upon the
knowledge had of tho intention or attempt
to distroy his or their property, or to collect
a mob for such purpose, and sufficient tune
intervening gave notice thereof to a con
stable, alderman or justice of the peace
or to the Sheriff of tho county
and if the Sheriff upon the receipt of such
notice, or upon knowledge of such attack or
intended riot, or disturbance, shall neglect
or refnse to perform his duties in tne
premises he or they, so neglecting or refus
ing, shall be liable for the damages done to
such property, to be recovered of the county
etc.
In the case of Allegheny county versus
Gibson, a suit that was the result of the
riots in 1877, Judge Faxson defines what is
meant by illegal and improper conduct.
"Just what is meant by improper con
duct." says the Judge, "is a nice question.
We are not without rulings in our own State
and elsewhere. In Donoghue versus Phila
delphia Judge Gibson placed his rulings
on the legal rights of the owners of the
property.
Introducing Arms Into a Property.
"He says that it was justifiable to intro
duce men and arms into the house as the
exercise of a ireeman's privilege, whether
there was the apprehension of danger or
not." It would" seem to be clear that in
order to defeat a recoveryupon this ground,
lor property destroyed by a mob, the im
proper conduct muM have been the proxi
mate cause of the destruction. In Lavery
versus Philadelphia countv Justice Ser
geant said: "In order to debar a person
from the remedy provided by the act of
1811, it must be made to appear, in the
words of the act, that the destruction of his
property was caused by his illegal or im
prcpercaii&ict." -in I.ew York the statute
TTeai'5 "jo person shall be entitled to
recover, it it shall appear upon the trial
thereof that such destruction was occasioned
or in any manner aided, sanctioned, or per
mitted by the carelessness or negligence of
such person."
Among lawyers yesterday the legal as
pect of the riot at Homestead was the only
topic of conversation. It was argued pro
and con, and opinions on both sides were
freely given. Some attorneys took the
ground that the county would be held re
sponsible, while others claimed the iron
firm had taken the law into its own hands
and would have to stand the consequences.
The sympathies of the majority, however,
were with the men, and in some
quarters the individuals of the firm
were severely denounced. Considerable
stress was laid on the conduct of the com
. pany, and whether or not its action in send
ing armed men to the works was not "im
proper and illegal conduct" under the act.
With many the only question was which
side fired the first shot. This will probably
never be known.
Open to a Charge of Murder.
C C. Dickey was the most advanced In
his views. He said the riot was a great
outrage and he. thought a charge of murder
or manslaughter would be sustained against
the members of the firm. Mr. Dictey oiTers
his services to the men tree to institute
criminal proceedings against the owners of
the works.
George W. Guthrie is a tariff Democrat,
and he held that the company's property
was not private, bnt pubtic to a certain ex
tent. The firm is protected by a tariff act
passed by Congress, and this puts it under
obligations to the people, especially its
workmen.
George Shiras, Jr., thought the riot was
another case where the county would be
mulcted for a millon or more "in damages
through the failure of the Homestead men
to obey the laws. He said it was not the
men who were locked out, but the mill
owners were prevented from entering upon
their own property.
U.he views ot other prominent lawyers
follow in this column. Opinions were ob
tained from the attorneys for the firm, the
men aud the Sheriff.
CONDEMNS THE COMPANY.'
Mr. Brcnnen Claims the Firm Bad No
Authority to Send Armtd Men Into a
Peaceful Community at Night Tho
Haymaker Gas Well Battle a Parallel
Case.
"W. J. Brennen, the recognized attorney
for the men, said: "This is a time when a
man would not be doing his duty unless he
counseled forbearance and patience. All I
can say is that this is a very unfortunate
a flair aud never should have happened. I
blame the firm and thinkH is responsible for
the result. I know that the Pinkertoa men
were not officers of the law. They were
not sworn in as deputy sheriffs. Mr. Frick
has taken the law into his own hands with
disastrous consequences.
"The Sheriff ot the county visited Home
stead in davlight. He issued a proclama
tion, and found that he hadn't enough
deputies. He returned to the city
to get more men. Then the
firm sends two barge loads of
Pinkertcn men, armed with "Winchester
rifles, at midnight to Homestead. These
detectives try to steal stealthily into a
peaceful community under the cover of
darkness. The conduct ot the firm incited
this riot What right had these men to
carry Wincheers under the law? The
firm deserves no sympathy, for it didn't
act with common sense and decency.
There had been no trouble at Homestead,
but these men go there to secure property
which the firm still had in its possession.
Certainlv a man has a right to protect his
property, but he must exhaust all civil
means before he resorts to force.
"It seems to me the fight over the Hay
maker gas well is a parallel case. Force
was used there and Haymaker wa3 killed.
A number of people were held responsible,
and sent to the penitentiary."
"Hai e yon received orders from the men
to institute legal proceedings?"
"So; what could be done under the cir
cumstances? It is a question whether mem
bers of the firm could not be held for man
slaughter, to say the least. .Everything de
pends on the tacts in the case. The first
thing to be done is to stop the bloodshed.
I don't think the county can be held for the
damages. This looks to me like a caso
where the firm will have to pay."

CAN DEPEND PROPERTY.
Attorney Knox Says tho Xnw is Plain
ISifl-i Can Be Used, If Necessary, to Pro
tect a Man's Home The Iron Firm as
Threatened.
Knox & Reed are the lawyers for the
Carnegie interests. Judge Reed was seen,
but he declined to talk. He said he had
read the newspapers, but he didn't know
enough about the trouble to express an
opinion Mr. Knox was loath to say any
thing, but he finally made' this statement:
"Iu a time of great public excitement
like the present, a lawyer has no busi
ness to express an opinion on either
side. I haven't the facts in the.
case, and can't speak intelligently.
A man has a right under the law to protect
his property, with firearms, if necessary. I
don't know whether these Pinkerton men
were sworn in or not. If they were
not, then they hadn't any more
authority than the average citizen.
Uobody, however, can deny their right of
self defence. From what I understand, the
firm had been threatened and had been led
to believe by the action of the men that its
property was in danger. It sent other men
there armed with rifles to protect the prop
erty. 1 think, under the circumstances, it
had a right to do so "
"But were threats actually made? The
workmen deny it."
"Well, I wouldn't be sure about that, but
I understand threats had been used that
alarmed the firm. Certainly a man has a
right to protect his own home with a rifle,
or hire men to do it for him. The Car
negies couldn't compel their employes to
work for unsatisfactory wages any more
than the workmen can prevent other men
from toiling in the mill if thev wish to."
"Do you think the film incited the trou
ble?" "I don't sec how. The law is very plain
on the subject, and I think the company
hus kept within bounds. I sometimes won
der if people have any property rights in
Allegheny county."
CANNOT CARRY RIFLES.
THE HEM BESP0N8IBLE.
Mr.
Woodward Says the Steel Companv
Shonld I ay tor the Damage.
Marcus 'Woodward takes the ground that
the firm and not the county should be held
responsible lor the damage. Mr. Wood
ward is on the side of the men. Among
ither things he said; The County Solicitor
nd Connty Commissioners should be
;in action at once against the
Homestead company. The firm incited the
riot. Long before the strike commenced
the managers built a fence around their
works and openly told their employes that
they were preparing to fignt them.
"Asking the Sheriff to go to Homestead
was only a bluff to saddle the costs on the
county. Now the firm will no, doubt claim
that it was not its fault, as the county was
unable to protect its property. I hold that
the company stirred up the trouble, and
they should'be made to pay dearly for it."
THE SHEBIJT DID HIS DUTY.
Attorney Petty Says He Exhausted Lecal
Means to Maintain Order.
B. B. Petty is the solicitor for Sheriff
McCleary. Judge Reed held a conference
with him j esterday afternoon, but neither
would say what had been done. Mr. Petty
said the Sheriff had been doing all he could
to maintain the peace. The law gives him
explicit instructions what to do in such
emergencies, aud he had tried to follow
them.
This is all Mr. Petty would say for publication.
l'itUhurs Officials Silent.
Major Brown Says J either Workers Nor
PInkertons Have tlio Itlclit to Bear
Arms The Governor's Action Violence
on a avicnb'n (Stream.
Major A. M. BroYrn takes a very broad
liew of the trouble. "If the Pinkerton
men tvere not deputy sheriffs," he said,
"then they had no authority to carry rifles
or fire on the workmen. The same principle
applies to the men, and here the element of
self-defense enters into the question. I
don't suppose it will ever he known
which side fired the first shot. People who
incite riots willfully are guilty of murder or
manslaughter, according to the Circum
stances. At present I can't express an
opinion, for I don't know all the tacts.
"If the Sheriff of the county is unable to
preserve order ii is his duty to call on the
Governor, and the latter'sbuiness to re
spond. The Sheriffdid what he could, and
this is another case where the Governor
hesitated too long. He sent troops into the
coke country after a number of men were
killed.
"The strikers have no right to carry fire
arms or to interfere with the operation of
the mill, neither has the company the au
thority to fire on the strikers. This is a
broad question. The laws are plain on the
subject of protecting property, but the
courts must decide to what limits a man
can go.
"The river being navigaHe does not give
the United States jurisdiction. The stream
is within the State. It is the same as if the
riot occurred on a public highway. In this
instance the Monongahela river is nothing
more thau a road. The Sheiff calls on the
Governor when he is unable to preserve
order, and iu turn the Governor falls back
on the general government when he has ex
hausted all means to protect life and prop
erty." BOX A CASE FOB XJHCLE SAIL
District Attorney Lyon S-iy the State Must
D-al With the Riot.
As the slaughter occurred on a navigable
river and along its banks, United States Dis
trict Attorney Lyon was asked if this
brought the trouble withia the jurisdiction
of the Kational Government Mr. Lyon
replied:
"The General Government has nothing to
do with it. It is not inter-State and Penn
svlvania must deal with the difficulty. If
the State was not able to cope itli the riot
ers then the Governor would have to appeal
to Uncle Sim, but under no other circum
stances. Governor Pattison made a mis
take in not havinsr troops on the ground to
preserve order. It is r. mistake to think
that the Sheriff can pick up 10,000 men to
assist in keeping the peace. I don't be
lieve he could get ten sensible men.
"A trouble of this kind is liable to
spread. There are plenty of criminals and'
joaiers on our streets who would take ad
vantage of such unfortunate affairs to
foment further bloodshed."

Manager Fricli's East End Residence
Watched by Two Detectives.
The home of H. C Frick on Hometrood

guarded by two private detectives detailed
lrom the agency of P. J. -Murphy. These
two men relieved two others, who had been
keeping personal guard over Mr. Fries: dur
rSFECIAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCIT.l
Washington, July 6. "If Governor
Pattison does not drive the Pinkerton men
from within the borders of Pennsylvania he
is the deadest politician in this country."
So spoke General Hatch, the champion of
the free silver and anti-optiou bills, to-dav.
He was reading a bulletin regarding the
bloody work at Homestead, when with
flashing eyes and heaving chest he glanced
up and in response to a query made the
startling statement quoted. "Tne State of
which Robert E. Pattison is Governor has
been invaded," continued the General, "Jet
us see if he is equal to the emergency."
"According to a Pennsylvania State law",
corporations are empowered to police their
works," was suggested.
"Then let the works be policed by
citizens of the State," replied Hatch. "I
I were Governor of Pennsylvania the State
would be rid of those janizarries in 24
hours. If they refused to go peaceably I
would blow them out of the water. To
day's work at Homestead is a shame, a dis
grace to a civilized community. It was the
direct result ot an invasion by an armed
force. "Who can blame workmen from re
senting this menace to theirlives."
Everybody Shocked by the News.
The city is in a ferment of excitement
over to-day's tragedy at Homestead. The
House and Senate discussed Kational affairs
in a perfunctory way. Interest was centered
on the reports from Western Pennsylvania.
The news was a great shock to everybody in
official and political circles. The Repub
lican leaders are much disturbed over the
affray, as they fear its possible result at the
Kational election in November.
General Harmer, ot Pniladelphia, will be
quoted in a Baltimore paper to-morrow a3
saving that he now regards Pennsylvania as
a doubtful State. He fears the wides pread
Influence of the battle. Strikes and rumors
of strikes are common enough. Thev form
perennial news items. But when the con
flict between capital and labor assumes a
violent phase and results in a pitched bat
tle and the killing ot many men, an epoch
is reached. An ever enduring monument
is reared from the pinnacle of which poli
ticians of the opposite partv can hurl figu
rative but most destructive bolts.
All the Republican leaders realize the
gravity of the situation as well as General
Harmer. They pooh-pooh the association
of politics with the trouble, and however
tenable this position may be, the fear re
mains that workingmen voters will accept
broad results and not bother ns to the ob
scure though possibly real cause ot the riot
Tho Democrils Find I'olltical Capital.
The Democrats have seized the opportun
ity. Representative Camminnetti, of Cal
ilprnia, introduced a resolution in the House
calling for an Investigation of the causes
that have led to the strike. He had this
resolution prepared yesterday but his col
leagues on the Democratic side opposed its
presentation. But to-day they no longer
opposed it.
Representative Williams, the famous
Mugwump of Massachusetts informed the
Dispatch correspondent that to-morrow
he would introduce a resolution inquiring
into the constitutionality of a State law
that permitted corporations to send an
armed force into a community for the os
tensiblepurpose of protecting property but
witn tne aaanionai purpose ot aeieating a
Btrike.
Mr. Camminnetti regards the Homestead
fight as eloquent evidence that the tariff
does not fik wages. "Several years ago,"
said Mr. Camminnetti. "I traveled through
Pennsylvania for the purpose of comparing
the condition of our laborers with that of
the laborers ot Pennsylvania. The iron in
dustry is the highest type of the so-called
protected industries. Onr mining industry
in California is a tvpe of .he unprotected
industry. Everything used in the pursuit
of this industry Is taxed. Yet onr laborers
live better, work fewer hours and get better
pay than do the laborers of Pennsylvania."
CAminlnnetti'a Resolutions.
Following is the full text of the resolu
tions prcseuted by Mr. Camminnetti:
Whereas. The Republican party has con
tended that one of the main pm poses of its
tariff legislation was the piotection of Amer
ican labor and the incteau of ray to tho
ae earners in piotected 'industiies:
tilieieas, contrary thereto, industries pio
tected by such legislation have, in many in

mills.con trolled by A. Cainegieand big asso

ceived the fostering care of taid legislation to
such an extent as to typify it as uti example
ot the results thai eof from whatever stand
point it is viewed, has promulgated an oi

Centum; wheieas. contrary to the position
assumed by said pai ty that tho protection

stated by H. C Frick, liiauaser of the said
mills, that "wo made scales to suit trade and
mechanical conditions and ave no thought
to the political cause o:,etfect,nor the tariff;"
Whereas, Following this announcement
its employes have lef used to accept said re
duction and a strike is at hand; and,
whereas, it is asserted in thn public prints
that armed men, boats carrying guns, a

leaking Up nn O'd Conkraol.
It is understood that to-morrow when
this, resolution comes up for discussion, as
it probably will, an amendment will be
offered asking lor information from the
Secretary of the Navy, as to whether iie did
not several years ago award a 52,000,000
armor plate contract to the Carnegie firm
without advertising for bids. This, it is
said, was done. There are two bureaus in
the Navy Department that are not, under
an old law, required to advertise for bids,
the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and
the Ordnance Bureau. This law was passed
when the Ordnance Bureau purchased little
but powder. In the last naval bill the
Ordnance Bureau was required to advertise
lor bids. The awarding of a 12,000,000 con
tract (without bids) to the Carnegie firm
was regular enough, but the Democrats are
anxious to show to what extent the mem
bers of the Carnecie firm me beneficiaries
of the Government's tariff legislation.
Representative Dalzell calls Mr. Cam
minetti's resolution "a mis-recital of facts."
He says: "When you resolve1 to do any.
thing you should have a proper representa
tion offsets upon which to base the resolu
tion." lie thinks that the tarift law has

on the Pinkerton detective phase of the
question.
, Congressman William A. Stone, however,
did not fear to express his opinion. "No
one can justify the action of any firm or
corporation," said he, "Introducing in a
struggle of this kind an element, whatever
it may be, that is calculated to breed riot
The introduction pf the Pinkerton detec
tives was eminently qualified to bring
about such a result"

Officials in a Qaaa dary as to the Liability
for the Damage Done.
The county officials were -not at all anx
ious to set their views before the public
Most of them unfortunately were out of
town. As to what the strike will cost the
county, or whether it will cost anything, is
a question which will have to be settled
later on.
Probably one of the most interested
county officials was County Treasurer Bell.
Said tie: "This, of course, is a very sad
thing and we all regret it It is bad busi
ness for the State and for the county. It ii
a question ai to who shall be -held respon
sible for the loss of life and property. Un
der the act of Legislature patted
after the riots in 1877, which
Pittsburgers so well remember, the
city of Pittsburg, and the .county of Alle
gheny were made responsible. Under the
applfcation of that law the county is re
, sponsible for any loss of life or property
which might be incurred through the neces
sities called about by this strike."
County Commissioner Weir said, person
ally, be had no expression of opinion to
make, but, as a matter of fact, he thought
that when settling day came it would be a
pretty hard nut for himself and his asso
ciates to settle. '

all Christendom.

Only twice a year do we make Remnant Sales, and it is
done then in such a manner that it tells let the loss be what
it may. This 1892 sale will be the largest and most import
ant we ever made for two reasons, we are tearing down, ex
tending and rebuilding our Dress Goods and Silk Room, and
everything must be sold, and this past season our sales in
fine goods have been so much larger than usual and the
choicest of Silk and Dress Goods get into Remnants first,
hence, there are thousands and thousands of Remnants that
will be sold Friday, and the fact that will help move the short
lengths is the fact that so few yards make the fashionable
gown, and Friday women will have a chance to get Remnants
and Dress Lengths in Medium and Fine Goods for so little
money that it will pay to come almost any distance.
