jVaHfH o THE nTSBUEG DISPATCH, MONDAY, JULY 18. 189a vrai to take some official notion on -the com pany's invitation to all the mechanics and laborers formerly in its employ to return to work this morning. The meeting lasted nearly 40 minutes. When it had adjourned, the reporters were given the appended set ot resolutions, which go the leaders said, was the only news for publication. Whereas, AVc.thc employes of the mechan ical department and day laborers of the Carnegie's Steel Works of Homestead in meeting assembled do offer the following as our views in repaid to the labor troubles existing at present. Resolved. That we are in sympathy with the Amalgamated Association and pledge ourselves to stand with them to the end. Hesolved, That we con-.ider it an injustice to the mechanical department ami the day laborers and an insult to their manhood to ask them to work under puard,as webelievo yet in this land ot the rice all should be free. f Gntln5 Keady to IS .gin Work. The leaders of the Amalgamated men, in cluding Hugh O'Donnell, Dave Shannon and Burgess 3IcLuckie, consider that this action on the part of the mechanics and laborers will prove a hard blow to the Car negie Company. They say furthermore that air. Frick will And it a difficult task to find new mechanics capable of satisfactorily fill ing the places of the old men. Be this true or otherwise Superintendent Potter evi dently intends to begin operation this morning, as all day yesterday he and his as Ftstants were about the works. He declined to talk for publication. There were so many strangers in Home stead yesterday and the town wore such a holiday look that most of the strikers mingled with the throngs of pleasure seek ers and went up to Carnegie Hill to watch the drilling or the troops. The majority of them declared that they ould indulge in no outbreak even if the yards were packed with "black sheep" during the night. "What's the use of bucking against a stone wall," muttered one of the striking heaters as he cast an expressive glance at the tented hill and swarms of blue coats. THE DEATH LIST GROWS. Two Mors Participants in the Battle at Homestead Pass Away One a Steel worker nnd War Veteran, the Other Pinkerton Detective. Two more deaths resulting from the riot at Homestead occurred yesterday. One was a Pinkerton detective, the other a steel worker. The Pinkerton man was Edward Speer, a resident of Chicago. He had been shot in the right leg during the battle on the barges on Wednesday the Gth inst., and was taken to the West Penn Hospital In the early morning of the next day. His wound was near the thigh and his death is at tributed to exhaustion. "Xothing could be learned of his history. George W. Kntter, ono of the employes at the Homestead feteel Works, who was shot nt the same time, died at the Homeopathic Hofpital jesteiday afternoon. He was 46 years of age and leaves a wife and lamily at Verona borough, where he had resided for many years and was well and popularly hnou n. His death makes 11 that have been officially reported from the battle at Home stead. A Very Pecn'.Iar Tfonnd. Eutter was brought to the hospital at noon on the day of the riot. Ho had been shot in the right hip with a rifle hall, believed to have been fired from the Pinkerton boats. The ball passed thorough the hip joint fiom the side and tear, lodged under the skin in tho lower part of the abdomen, it had been extracted by a pliys ictan at Homestead before the injured man was sent here. According to the hospital physicians, Rutter had been given a consid erable quantity of liquor, probably lor the purpose of sustaining him alter the injury was tcceived. His mind was affected by the liquor, and when its effects passed awav he became delirious. From then until death lc'.icvcd him his mind wanoered almost con tinually, and in his ravings .ie was back on tho liver bank at the Hornet tead mills en countering, with his fellow strikers, the Pinkertons. At no time could a connected story or how he was shot be gained from him. At one time he w onM say he was taking no part In the fight, simplv standing on the bank watching tho others. At another time he v ouul declare that he was th-s only man Tn7TrJaiedJtpvi1Jeun. on tlo ganjr plank wien cue x inKeriuu um:u jauueu. uiiu iiien It was he received tho bullet. It is believed that he was lnjniedinthe first charge when the Pinkertons arrived at Homestead, but further than this his story is not known. Owing to the contradictors nature ot his statements the Coroner would take no ante-mortem statement from him. A Vf.tran of the Rebellion. Rutter -a as a veteran of the late war, had on excellent record, and the scars on his body attest to the service he saw at the front. He enlisted in the Eleventh Pennsyl vania Rr-erves, the same regiment in which fciienir McCleary served, but was subse quently transferred to Thompson's Battery, which saw some of the hardest fighting in the last three years of the war. When first brought to the hospital the gravity of his condition was appreciated and lie was placed in a private room and given he best attention the building affords, sev- ral of the best surgeons in the city holding onsnltations on his case. His death is eeply recrettcd by the hospital staff. The body was removed to the morgue yes- lday and placed in a neat casket where it as viewed by his heart broken wile and in last night. This morning it will be ro- loved to the lamily home in verojia bv the .. A. K. Post of which he was a member, and ie interment will take place to-morrow fternoon. The date of the Coroner's in- 4nefct has been set for Wednesday morning nd the same jury which sat in the other Jomestead cases will sit in this. The only Homestead cases remaining nt 'he Homeopathic Hospital are Captain Heln, Javid Wells nnd James Lester.all Pinkerton nen, who are slowly recovering. PRESIDENT WEIHE DEHIES That He Signed an Appeal for Financial Aid Tor TVorkeri. Word was received in this city at a late hourlast night that a paper was being cir culated among the trade unions in JCeiv (ToikCity, appealing In the name of the Amalgamated Association for financial aid o provide for poorstrikers in Homestead. The paper was said to be signed by Presi dent William Weihe and Thomas J. Craw ford and George C Kyland, two of the Amalgamated leaders in Homestead. When President Weihe was shown the telegram lrom i'evf York at an early hour this morning and asked if the paper being circulated was genuine, he slid: "I ha e no knowledge of such a circular. One thing positive, 1 never authorized the use of my pame upon any such paper, and I entertain serious doubts ir Sir. Ryland or Mr. Craw ford know anything of the matter. The cir. culardid not emanate from the National "Lodge, and if the Homestead people gave their sanction to such a measure being used Jor securing financial aid 1 most certainly would have heard something ot it. Another thing, i: the paper fas genuine I should naturally believe that the name of Hugh O'Donnell would havo been signed to the appeal instead of the othertwo men. "For my part I think the paper is a hoax. It has only been a short time since the same thing was attempted in this city and the Amalgamated Association put a stop to it. "During the present trouble we have received numerous offers of financial assistance lrom outside lodges all over the country and the Homestead leaders have received an equal number. If the loeked-out men needed money they would have answered these communications or notified the National Lodge to do the same. There Is no need of n petition being circulated and I am em phatic in my belief it is not genuine." A STEIKE BOX ORDERED. The Duquesne Men Will Da Nothing Until llclter Organized. Tho Cnmcgle employes or tho Duquesne Steel Works held a mass meeting in the grove near Duquesne yesterday morning to further consider the advisability of coming out in support of the Homestead men. Tho meeting was generally attended, and a laigo number of the loeked-out men from Homestead were present to encourage tho local woi kmen In taking a stand in their be half. Speeches were made by the local and Homestead loaders. The latter especially urged tho men to strike. They argued that it simply meant self-preservation, as tho time was not lar distant when they also would suffer reductions in wages. They pleaded eloquently for the men at this place to support the Amalgamated Association in this crisis and assured them of being well taken cars of should they come oat. The men were urged to organize at once, u they could do nothing unless they were a unit in their action. Local speakers were non committal, but the pleadings of the locked- out men had such effect that resolutions were passed declaring their intention to 01 ganizu and that at once. Several orcnn izers weio anpointed and ordered to begin itctivo operations at once. The meeting then adjourned without taking further action. An unccrrain feeling prevails among the men, thouch the general opinion is that thoy will not strike, or if so not in the near future Thev will first trv to organize lodges or the Amalgamated Association. Xews of the meeting spi cad, and some ex citement was created by the report that the men had decided to strike to-morrow. This is untrue, as little or no organization prevails here at present. SDNDAY AT THE CAM". Chaplains and Pretty Glr"s Belgn Supreme A Great Crowd or Visitors Watch tho Soldiers The Daily Cost or the Mi litia. The ragimental chaplains and the pretty girls reigned supreme at Camp Sam Black yesterday. The usual number of soldiers were there too, but they seemed to be ex isting only to hear the ministers and enter tain the swarm of handsome visitors. Divine services were held in nearly all the regiments 3nd some eloquent sermons were preached to congregations much larger than are usually found in tho churches. In many or the regiments the soldiers were ordered to attend divine service or go to the guard houe. which to an extent, at least, accounted for the liberal attendance. It was estimated that CO.000 visitors were in the encampment yesterday, and the bulk or that vast crowd was made up or women. The old ladv whose father, husband or son had seen active service in other years was there to see just .. ... .-.. .... - .f.l. hn now tne citizen somiers cmupuicu. . i. - veterans she knew best. The young woman was there to see her husband or her brother who is faithfully serving the State, and the voung lady, dressed like a fairy, in white, was there to see her sweetheart or to make slaves oftheblne coats with whom she came in contact. The girls came In from every section or the State, and every reslment in the encampment had large delegations to entertain. ladles Enjoy the Maneuvers. The soldiers went through the regular drills in the afternoon, nnd in the evening they all turned out in dress parade, not only to obey the orders of their commanders, but to delight the hearts ot the admiring army ot ladies who watched every movement with rare interest. The heliograph was winking and blinking all day from the headquarters at the school house to the detachment of the signal corps on the otner side of tho river. The State signal corps comes entirely from H com pany of the Twelfth which is stationed at Lock Haven and which has spent nearly SiOCO on its signal work. The heliographing was excellently done and tho company is now conducting a series of expciiments with night flashes on the heliograph, which are watched with great interest by the regulars on the ground. Most of the ladv visitors who came down in crowds from Pittsburg and the other neighboring towns to-day clustered with morbid curiosity about the gatling gun at headquarters during the day, and listened with rapt attention to tho handsome young gunner who explained how 1,200 bullets a minute could be ground out ot the hopper aud scattered over such parts of the land scape as might be selected. It was a curious iact that tho prettiest girls always required the most explanation. Live'y Scenes at General Headquarters. The hill upon which Is located the general headquarters was alive with people all tho day, and lrom that point they seemed to scatter out over the whole camp. There was no relaxation of discipline on the part of the soldiers. hut the guard lines seemed more flexible than usual and there was little or no difficulty in getting by thes?ntnes. The ciowdwentto the camp early and stayed theie until the night developed, when the reimn wns cleared. The people loft the place reluctantly, and not a lew hung about the outside lines until after taps, when the warriors were forced to their tents, where the lights were lowered and the men were supposed at least to retire. If thev did not go tubed they disobeyed or ders, in which event if caught at it they will carry a rail through the camp for a cer tain time this morning. The custom of punishing all violations of military discipline by making tho offender carry aiail on his shoulder for a certain time seems to bo growing.aud fully 1,000 peo ple watched the process in the Tenth Regiment yesterdav. A member or It Company had offendod by talking loud while rellsrions sei vices wei e beinir held. He was sentenced to carry the rail for two hours and while he carried it all the visitors in that part of the camp watched him with morbid interest. Ills was the only breach that occurred at-the open air services. Preaching on the Labor Trouble. All the chaplains talked of the Home stead trouble and the presence of the militia at that place, but Rev. Mr. Gerhard, of the Twelfth Regi ment, preached a purely military sermon. He went into the question of the con science or the soldier, and told his flock that as citizens they must obey American law and as soldiers they must enforce Its obedience. When called to the color-", there was but one plain dnty for every National Guardsman mid every soldier in America, and that was honestly, heartily and loyally to obey the orders issued by his su perior officers. In no other way could tho State bo safe, the Republic per manent. He said that a tremendous responsibility lay upon the National Guard in every time of public danger, and that re sponsibility was to he dischaigcd by disci pline, resolutions and courage. "Keep your oath you havo freely taken to bo loyal to the State and to the United States, and you will have done your whole duty," Mr. Gerhard concluded. Several other sermons wore preached In camp, none of them, however, so boldly tak ing bold ot the question or the hour as Mas Mr. Gerhard's. In the town pulpits the strike was re ferred to, hut the efforts of the clergymen were chiefly directed to allaying the excite ment of the past two weeks, and none of the clergy took very strong ground save in urg ing arbitration. The Works Closely Guarded. Throughout the town, Tar more numerous than lamp posts,armed sentries were pacing backward and forward. Around the Car negie property and outlined in relief against the glaring whiteness of the high board fence, the pickets were so close as to be able to almost touch each other's hands. Tho military are already growing anxious abont the length of time they will be le quii ed to remain at Homestead. No definite information is obtainable on the subject, but on Saturday a contract was signed to supply the Pi ovisional Jirignde with water lor three weeks, with the piivilege of re newing the contract at the same rate for an indefinite period there after. With the few who know ot the signing of the water contract there Is a growing belief that the encampment will extend to an annoying period at least. It was said yesterday by an officer that two regiments would be left at Homestead for nt least two months alter the bulk of the sol- uiers nan Deem canea nomo. It is estimited that the kcenimr of tho troops at Homestead and at Mt. Gretna is costing tho State upwards of $30,000 a day. The pay of ti oops amounts to over $10.0oa Their subsistence aggregates $3,000. Horse hire amounts to $1,000 and the expenses or the Quartermaster's department reaches $1,500. The transportation of the troops to and from Homestead w ill reach $30,C00. Dolly Pay of the Guard. Fully 8,000 men responded to tho Gov errnor's call. The dally pay of the members of theiXational Guaid is appended: Major General j $35 00 Brigadier General 15 00 Colonel 12 00 Lieutenant-Colonel 0 33 Major. 7 00 Captain 5 00 First Licuteuant 4 17 Second Lieutenant. 3 7s Sergeant 2 00 Corporal 1 73 lte-inllsted 1 ;s Private 1 5a William Lugle, of No. S01 Dinwiddle street, Tittsburg, while watching tho formation for dress parade or the Third Brigade, was knocked down by a horse ridden by a mem ber ot the Sheridan troop. In falling. En gle's head struck a rock and he wits uncon scious for two hours. He was carried to tho hospital ot the Third Brigade, where the Brigade surgeons labored over him until 7 o'clock, when he wasableto be taken home. O'DONNELL GOES EiSI, His Object Said to Be to Prsvent the Land' lng or Foreign Mill Men. nugh O'Donnell went East last night. Ho refused to say where he was going or what was tho object or bis mission. Ho did his best to slip through tho gates w tthout belli;; seen, but that was impossible. It is surmised that be will meet the steamer Switzerland reported to have on board a number or foreign iron workers. If the re port is correct, he will make an effort to stop their landing, as a violation of the labor contract law. Others think Mr. O'Donnell went to Har risburg to have an Interview with the Governor. NO SIGNS OF WEAKENING. Arguments Advanced by the Employes of the Two Union Mills Showing They Do Not Fear the Determined Stand of the Carnegie Steel Company. The recent agreement entered into by the Carnegie Steel Company and the employes of the Beaver Falls mill was canceled at 5 o'clock this morning, and hereafter, if the men conclude to go to work, it will be as .non-union men. At G o clock on the alter- noon of Thursday next, the time for the loeked-out workmen to return to their posi tions in the Homestead mills will have ex pired, and after that time the firm intend to take the first applicants that come along. In the Upper and LowerTJnion mills no time has been set for the men to go back to work, hut the company declares that never again will the Union mills' employes be recognized as memoers of tho Amalgamated Associa tion. In face of this determined stand taken by the Carnegie Steel Company the loeked-out ana striking employes have assumed an equally firm position and exhibit not the slightest signs of weakness or fear; in fact they show a treat deal of confidence and in sist that they will win the present battle. In n conversation with several of the Union mills' workmen last evening It was brought out that iu exse the Carnegie Steel Company made an effort to run all thelrmllls non union, even it" their old workmen did not in terfere, moro than one obstacle would be in tho way. Thi Question of Fkl'led Labor. "In the first place," said one or the wage earners, "where is the company going to get 8.000 men to fill the vacant places in the Union, Beaver Falls and Homestead mills? We readily recognize the fact that It will ho comparatively easy for them to get men to work in the wire 1 od mill at Beaver Falls, but in the Union and Homestead mills most of the machinery is or a special character and even the manner of getting ontthe prod uct is different. We know that there are a great many non-union iroworkers in the country, and admitting that some ot those represent skilled labor, yet they cannot tako our places simply because it would take weeks aud months before they could learn the Ins and outs of the business at the two Union and Homestead mills. We were pretty sure of our ground before we went out, and we are just as confident as ever. Then, again, If tho Beaver Falls mill employs non-union men nnd the workers in other mills of the Carnegie Steel Company win the day, before thoy will return to work tho company will have 10 take back their old men at Beaver Falls." The firm, on the other band. Is just as con fident. The officials all along stated em phatically that thev will not recognize the Amalgamated Association in the future. Therefore lrom the firm position taken by both sides many disinterested parties are of the opinion that the struggle will be an end less one, while others sav that the hour when all the mills will be in operation is near at hand. The trouble between the Carnegie Steel Company and their former employes, both in this city as well as In Homestead, has done much to prevent any material prog ress being made in the wage controversy be tween the Amalgamated Association and the Pittsburg manufacturers. The two com mittees meet nt 2 o'clock this afternoon in the Ferguson block for their tenth confer ence. While the former discussions be tween the ironmasters of this city and the Amalramafed Association have thus far proven fruitless, the feeling is now becom ing general that a settlement will be reached In a short time. Powers of the Wage Committer. The Wage Committee delegated by tho Amalgamated Association at their recent convention has been vested with certain powers to treat with tne manufacturers, and while they possess no authority to mako any radical changes In the original scale, they have the right to make any minor alterations the manufacturers may insist upon, and which the Amalgamated commit tee believe should be granted. The exist feg trouble between the Carnegie Company arid their employes has in addition pro duced a feeling on both sides that a settle ment should be effected at the shortest notice. It has been stated repeatedly that the Fittsbnrg manufacturers will agreo to allow the 5 50 rate for. boiling iron if tho Amal gamated Conference Committee will In turn. concede reauctions in me prices p&iu roll ers, heaters and other high-salaried men. It Is certain that tho Amalgamated Association will not agreo to the $1 reductiou in the pud dling department, and in order to bring about npcaceiul settlement, it is expected that the manufacturers will waive that point. Important developments in the ar rangement of the wage scale for Pittsburg will, no doubt, be forthcoming during tills The committee of the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Iron nnd Steel Workers, which was sont from Pittsburg to Chicago last weik to request the building trades of the "Windv City" to boycott tho output of tho Carnegie mills if non-union men should bo employed there, has made no official report; In lact. they have not been heard from since their departure. The statement was made bv this committed that similar committees nad'been sent to other lame cities with tho same pnrpose in view. The fidelity and strength of the unions in the building trades thus promise to be lully tested, as Carneglo beams are in use in every section. HOMESTEAD'S APPEAL It Is Sent to the New Tork Central Labor Union and Referred to Affiliated Unions Contributions Are to Be Sent to Presi dent Welho. Kew York, July 17. To-day the Cen tral Labor Union received an appeal for financial aid from the Homestead iron and steel workers. It was referred to the affil iated unions for immediate action. The Central Labor Federation to-day appointed a special committee to collect funds in aid the Homestead iron workers. The follow ing is a part of the circular sent to this city by the Amalgamated Association of Steel and Iron Workers: We are constrained by the force of cironm stauces to set belore you a matter of vltnl importance, not alone to us but one which threatens, if successful, to undermine every trade organization in the United States and 1 educo us to a system of serfdom which was tho lot of our forefathers in the Middle Aires. We have a number of unskilled laborers who barely rarned an existence while they had employment, and now that is denied thehi they are in want. Therefore, we ap peal to our lellow unionists in this, our hour of need, for assistance, knowing lull well that it will not be denied us. Help us, there fore, to gain a victory that will roduund to the name of organized labor. Again we ask you to assist us financially in onr hour of need, protect the widows and orphans and receive their blessings. Send all donations to W.

Be Leaves Homestead Perhaps to See Gov ernor Pattlson Others Say He Has Gone to Attend a Labor lieder"Conference In Philadelphia. rlJY AESOCIATKD PRESS.) H03IESIKAD, July 17. Hugh O'Donnell, with a small valise in hand, turned up at the railroad station just as the Pittsburg train was pulling out this evening and swung himself onto the train. "Where he wns going, or how long he proposed to be absent, were questions which he declined to answer to the eager inquirers who gathered about him. "Go and see Crawford; he will give yon all the news," O'Donnell called from the train as it pulled out. Mr. Crawford said that he understood that Mr. O'Donuell would return on Tues day, but that he was not at Liberty to say where he had gone or what was bis mission. The generally accepted theory is that tho Chairman of the AdvUory Committee has gone to Harriburg to meet Governor Pattl son bofore his coining to Homestead, al though it is admitted that bo may have left to attend a conference of labor loaders, In cluding PowJerly and Gnmpers, which tome of the rumor-mangel's declare Is about to be held In Philadelphia. It is said that all of the Winchesters of the Pinkertons have been taken out of Alle gheny county and are now being stored somewhere until legal advloo oan be Mfely and properly taken as to their disposition before anything Is done with them. THE SWITZERLAND'S PASSENGERS. If Th-y Contained Laborers for Home stead, the Warning Came Too Late. Philadelphia, July 17. If the information received by President Weihe, of the Amal gamated Association, that the Carnegie Company is importing ironworkers from Belgium by the steamer Switzerland Is true then the men are safe bebiud the cordon of troops nronnd Homestead, for the Switzer land arrived here last Wednesday. Tho Switzerland brought 610 immigrants, every one of whom passed by the inspectors and were allowed to proceed to their destina tions. When the Switzerland's passengers were landed Thursday Immigrant Inspector Stratton was not present, as he is away on his vacation. In his nbsence the Custom House inspectors put the usual questions to tho immigrants, and, finding the answers of all satisfactory.allowed them to land. Deputy Surveyor Franklin, who was on the deck examining 1 aggage, noticed among the newly-arrived passengers a company of about 100 men, who were noticeable for their stalwart appearance. Deputy Franklin says all of them had the look of men who had been engaged in somo occupation that developed their strength. He also noticed that their baggage was checked for Altoona, Pa. Chier Officer Apetz was in charge or the Switzerland to-day, and he said that few ot the steamer's passengers were Belgians, and that none were iron workers. SOWN ON TEE MILITARY IDEA. Both Radical and Conservative Resolutions by a Trades Assembly. CnicAGO, July 17. The Trades and La bor Assembly to-day passed resolutions calling for the arrest of "William aud Bobert Pinkerton and H. C Prick on the charges of treason, murder, and inciting to riot and insurrection. The following was then adopted, against the emphatic! objec tions of a few: Whereas, It is reported that a military forco is being organized from the labor unions of the city nnd elsewhere with the declared purpose or physically resisting the armed forces of the employing class; and, Whereas, The maintenance of such an armed force is practically impossible, and every effort in that direction is most unwise and injurious to tho Interests of labor, so long as the workers have a right to vote, and through the ballot box control State and National troops, regulato the police and abolish the Pinkertons, therefore, Resolved, That the Trade and Labor As sembly condemn the movement to make military organizations of our labor organ izations. BEAVER PALLS MEN FIRM. Not One or Their Number Will Report for Work To-Day. Last night everything was quiet about the Carnegie mills at Beaver Falls. The men were very quite but firm, nnd said that not a man would show ud for work this morning. Several quiet meetings were held yesterday ani tho men were a unit in de claring they would star out all summer unless their brethren at Homestead were allowed a conference with tho firm. Railroad Men Won't Interfere. The railroad men on the Pittsburg, Vir ginia and Charleston road laugh at the re port that they will refuse to haul non-union freight to and from the Homestead mill. An engineer said last evening that he for one would not quit work, and a number or yard man spoke in the same way. They regard the strike at Homestead as none or their business, and say they will not interfere. PEOPLE C0M1NQ AND GOING. J. M. Grnble, ot Monongabela Citv. and C. A.

Tbe house stands back from the road and is a secluded place, screened by trees from the gay driving parties that are always to be found on tbat famous driveway. Held Up by Four Highwaymen. About 6:30 last evening fonr men came to Lntzinger's house and demanded a drink. One threw down a half dollar' and said he wanted beer. Mr. Lutzingcr said they did not sell intoxicants or anything else. By this time the others had closed in on him. Mr. Lutzinger, who only four months before had been beld up and robbed In the same place of $95 in cash, remem Dered It and made a fight. Just then Blumer ran to his assistance and got knocked down with a bit of a plank for his trouble. Charles Nagle also camo out and was ut once knocked insensible, the men pounding him with a heavy stick even alter he wns down. Blumer who had recovered started in again, bnt was knocked down time and again. Lutzinger had also secured a club and did some effective work with it as the wounds on the bruised and bleeding pris oners attested. Police Called to the Scene. The noise of the fight had attracted James Young and Harry Muller who were driving out that way. They were unarmed and did not venture in tbe fight, but they say It was the most brutal affair they ever witnessed. At last, fearing tho dairy man and his friends would be killed, they drove hastily to the residence of James Hunter, ex-Chairman of Allegheny Common Conncil. It wns 7 o'clock when Mr. Hunter tele phoned to polioe headquarters stating that four toughs had attempted a robbery, nnd one man was nearly killed. Detectives Kornman, Milby, McDonougli and Frank Aiken stirted nt once for the nlace. They found Lntztnger and Nagle badly battered up, and Blumer was in a very serious con dition. He bad beer, terribly beaten nnd was bleeding from a dozen wounds. They learned that the only thing stolen was a natch nnd chain. This was found a llttlo further down the road where the men had dropped it in their haste. After securing a description of the men they started on the bunt and soon came upon three or them. Tbetnocaptured were James Gildernew nnd Harry Thompson, both mlllworkers. The third wns James Smith, a red-headed man, but he escaped. The loin-th is unknown. They all bore the marks of Lutzinger's club. Tried to tval His Flower. The story that Gildornew tells of the affair is tbat the men first began stealing flowers in hisard, and while he was driving them away- one went into tbe house, stole the watch and wns searching for money when be arrived. He says tbe light started when he got to the house. Ot late there has oeen a great deal of dis order out the Perrysville road on Sundays and a snecial detail of officers was sent out there yeiterdav to keep order. Two of them, Huwleyand Wilt, assisted in making tbe arrests. v These somo officers afterward arrested Adam White and John Hojenfelt for fast driving andcreating a disturbance. William Field attempted to stop the officers when they were making the arrest and he was sent along with them to Central station. TOO HTJCH ATJTH0EIT7.

Henke is employed as night watchman at McClure's planing mill, corner of Twenty seventh and Smallman streets. Early yester day morning Henke noticed two men loiter ing around the mill. He accosted tbem and they started to run. He fired several shots after them with no effect. Joseph Lesky, a Pole, who happened to be passing.

He fired two shots over his bead, "inst to frighten him," as he told Judge McKenna, and he did frighten him so badly that he stopped and fell on his knees.

The veteran Democrat is pleased with himself as a political prophet. He said before the conventions thatUar lison would bo nominated, and that Cleve land and Stevenson would be the Democratic candidates. He now predicts that Grover will carry the country In a canter. He even believes that with the right kind of manage ment Ohio would go Democratic. The lact that anti-Cleveland Democrats are in tbe saddle in the Buckeye State doesn't worry him. He says as soon as tbey fail to do tho square thing the people will turn them down. The voters will not stand any monkeying this year. It now leaks out tbat Brice was a Presidental candidate, and he hoped to slip into tbe nomination between Cleveland and Hill. He spent considerable money electing delegates in Ohio. -I think," said Mr. Carlile last evening, "that T. K. Morgan, the Kenublican candi date for Congress In McKinley's old district, can easily be beaten if the right man is pitted against him. The logical andstroneest candidate is John H. Wallace, of New Lisbon. He defeated McKinley once, but was counted out. Mr. Wallace ia not after tlie place, and if he is named it will be one of the few instances on record where the office sought the man. There are a number or aspirants for the Job of running against Morgan. "Congressman Warwick has made a deal by which he hopes Sam Phlpps, of Youngs town, will be his legatee, but Phipps is the weakest man that could be putnp, and he will certainly be turned down. Other can didates are Dr. Ikint, of East Liverpool, W. S. Potts, editor of tho Ohio 2atno-- of New Lisbon, A. W. Taylor, of Canton, and Weltj', of Canton. I hope that Wallace will be se lected." M0BAL TONS IKFB0VINO. Secretary Biddleinspectlng Penal and Char itable Institutions. Cad walade r Biddle, Secretary of tbe State Board of Charities, and Dr. J. W. C. O'Neal, of Gettysburg, registered at tho Monon gahela House yesterday. They have been inspecting the penal and char itable institutions in tbe northern counties of the State, and stopped over to see James B. Scott. They expect to return home this morning. Mr. Biddle said he reserved Pittsburg, Philadelphia and the other large cities for the winter months. He says it is too hot to visit the charitable places in the cities in summer. The seoretary had little to say about the work he Is doing. "In the northern section of the State," ho said, "the charitable homes and the penal institutions aro in excellent condition. The managers are always willing to make changes when recommended. I noticed that the criminals were sentenced for light offences, nnd the general moral tone is improving. This is tree oftheunper counties, but 1 can't speak for the State at large. It is too early to discuss the appro priations. Tho Institutions apply to the Charity Board for aid, and then their re quests are suDmltted to tho Legislature." Two years ago the State was short ot funds, and most of the appropriations were cut donn one-half. It is expected that many of the charitable homes will close the year in bad financial holes. The State in stitutions are first provided for, and It Is expected that somo heavy drafts will be made fol aid next year. A number of needed nnd contemplated improvements in hospitals, etc., went by default, because the State couldn't help them. NEITHER HONEY NOB FBIENDS. The Man, Who Dlid of Bongh on Bats Will Be Bnrlnd by the County. The body of J.

A man who lived in part of the same house occupied by the suicide, In the East End, called at the morgue yester day and stated that Klrschner had no rela tives in this country. He had talked ot some or his people iu Germany, but was always careful 110c to tell in what part or the coun try they lived. He had been a hard worker, bnt lately had not met with much success In getting work to do and became quiet and uncommunicative. He left hu rooms early Saturday morning and was not seen by his neighbors aiterward. Acting Coroner McKenna will hold an in quest on tbe case to-day. Michael Colgan Drowned While Bathing'.

A Clever Echeme to Fell FnrnHuTB in a Private Residence IKTESTIGATED BY POLICE OFFICIALS A smflll fttnrm tin. liAdn ifif.Al in varTnm Ji! -a m,;i. ..- J ah. PIlce and mercantile quarters in Alle gheny by the unique auction establishment which has been opened by two gentlemen. They are quartered in one of the finest resi dences of the N orthiide, a large brick man sion near Bidwell street The gentlemen are from Brooklyn, X. T., and came from the East to show the people of Pittsburg and Allegheny a new wrinkle in the auction business. They sell every thing that enters into the furnishing of a house, but instead of selling their goods in a store room, they have them arranged properly in the various rooms ot a fine resi dence, so that they may show off to the best' advantage. 'Ihe front and back parlors are furnished in the most gaudy style, rich with portierres, lace curtains, oriental rags finely upholstered chairs and sofas, and an abundance of glittering bric-a-brac and paintings. There is, in fact, a very largo amount of glitter. The dining room has its big table and polished sideboard of hard wood, with an appetiseing array of china. The bedrooms, with their big mirrors and curtained beds, are arranged with taste, and are cozy aud inviting. On this plan several auction houses are conducted in Eastern cities, and a llttlo over two months ago these gcntlomen concluded to try the plan on the good people of Allegheny. Opposed to High License. 4 They did not set up in Pittsburg for the reason that an auction room in this city pays a high license. In Allegheny no license fee is required. They have been holding' auc tions twice a week, flooding" tho town with handbills and filling their rooms with pur chasers. The trouble soon began. First, somefurnitnre dealers complained to the police authorities that these outsiders were cutting the market. Then some of the residents of the high-toned section felt bnrt that such a business should be carried on right within sight of their homes. Some or these aggrieved citizens complained to the landlord, but tbat gentleman said he lived nearer than anybody else, being next door, and had not been disturbed. Then came a wall from a gentleman who had set up a similar establishment a few blocks away. He had followed his competitors from tho East and thought he would have a share ot the pickings. He went to Police Superin tendent Muth nnd complained that the other fellows were distributing their hand bills right in front of his door. He wanted to know if they could do that: he though it was real mean. The Superintendent was forced to tell the man that his rivals could hand out their bills anywheie on the street. Tho man- went away, vowing that he would strew the pavement about his rivals estab lishment with bills announcing his superior bargains. Every Point Carefully Guarded. Tho police Inquired whether tbe Brooklyn men had taken out a county license as auctioneers, but found that they had care fully covered that point of attack. The situation was viewed from all sides, but it was concluded that there was no weak spot in the defenses, and the police retired from the action. Superintendent Mntb Is not at all satisfied, however, with the outfit. He says there is a pretense, by reason of the circumstances, that the goods belonged In the house and are being sold off for the unknown rich owner, who had possibly gono to Europe or bad possibly gone to the cemetery and therefore had 410 more use for the goods of this world. The bills of the auctioneers do not say this,-and they do not say otherwise. mere is no uouoc tuts impression is enter tained by many of toe men nnd women who go there to bny," said Superintendent Muth yesterony. "iney wonia soon drop it ir they saw goods carried in at the rear door as fast as tbey were carried out at the front, or should wander into the cellar and see the stacks of vases just imported from the old world." Union Miners Under Arrest. "Wallace, Idaho, July 17. Confidence is fully restored and no further trouble is expected in the Cceur d'AIene mining dis trict, for the union men are mostly under arrest.

General Barton, agent of the Adams Express office in this city, when seen to-night absolutely declined to talk, or say whether the sum was more or less than 560,000. It is said here that detectives have been employed by the express company and are at wort, but no complaint of such a loss has been made to the local police, nor do they know anything about the matter,. Several of the employes of the Government were seen to-night, but all ex press ignorance. Ex-Judge I.ynde Har rison, counsel for the Adams Express Com pany, and Mr. Barton, held a short con sultation this morning. Judge Harrison would say nothing further than it was his opinion that the matter did not amount to much. A special from Bridgeport says: Neither President Henry Sanford nor Division Superintendent John Curtis, of the Adams Express Company, are in this citj, and Agent C. A. Peabody will give no infor mation concerning the reported loss oi a valuable pouch of money between New York and New Haven. The Leading Dry Goods House.
