Washington-,- July 19. The nomina
tion by the President to-day of George
Shiras IT, as Associate Justice on the U. S.
Supreme bench, to fill the vacancy made by
Justice Bradley'h death, caused a mild sen
sation among politicians here.
It was entirely unexpected among the
leaders; There were at least a dozen candi
dates for the place. Mr. -J. Hay Brown, of
Lancaster, Pa., and Judge Massey, of Dela
ware, were regarded as having the strongest
chances, not because ot superior ability, but
because they w.ere supposed to have the
strongest backing. Mr. J. Hay Brown was
zealously pushed for the place by Senators
Quay and Cameron. Judge Massey has
considerable political strength .personally.
He was talked of as a fit chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
Congressman Dnlxell Greatly Pleased.
Mr. Shiras nomination was hardly
dreamed of by anyone here, with possibly
the exception of Representative Dalzell.
This gentleman was in high feather to
night He was actually beaming, and a
state of mind that will produce such a re
sult on Mr. Dalzell's countenance is un
usual. "For tome time" past I have anticipated
Mr. Shiras would be nominated by the Pres
ident for the position made vacant by the
late Justice Bradley's death," Bald'Mr. Dal
zell this evening. He was receiving -the
congratulations of his friends 'for his ef
forts. "However, I take no credit for Mr.
Shiras' appointment," continued Mr. Dal
zell. "He was named on his merits, I have
every reason to believe. He was backed by
Allegheny county, and Mr. Chauncey M.
Depew, who was a member of the famous
class at Yale and who knew Mr.
Shiras well enough to make him feel confi
dent no more worthy man could be found
for the place."
So Senatorial Opposition Anticipated.
Just then a number of newspaper men
bore down on Mr. Dalzell and wanted to
know something about Mr. Shiras.
"Personally, there is very little to say
of Mr. Shiras," replied Mr. Dalzell, "for
the reason that he has never held public
office daring his useful life. A few months
"go he reached his 00th year. In appear
ance, he is very striking. He is over 0 feet
high, well made, a very dignified person
ality and wears a style of whiskers, popu
larly known as 'mutton chops' .For years
no important case has been tried in the
civil courts of Pennsylvania without Mr.
Shiras being one ot the counsel."
The general opinion is that there will he
no opposition to the confirmation in the
Senate, though one or two inquiries have
been made as to how Senator Quay received
the appointment, which have received no
satisfactory answer.
The nomination of Mr. Shiras was not
tent to the Senate until late this afternoon,
consequently it was not generally known
in legal and political circles. The selection
of Mr. Shiras disposes of the report that
Attorney General Miller was to have the
place.
May Be More Places to Flit.
It is said, however, that the President
has an intimation that there will be at least
two vacancies on the bench by reason of
resignations before the 4th of March next,

the vacancy occurred, together with a num

Ckesson, Pa., July 19. Strange to say,
few people here, where Mr.-Shiras has been
residing several days at the Mountain
House with his wife, know to-nigbt that he
has been nominated for a position on the
United SfatesSuprcme Bench, When The
Dispatch correspondent arrived about 10
o'clock irom Pittsburg Mr. Shiras had al
ready retired. A card sent to his room
brought back the message to come up. His
long frame, was stretched out, in the bed,
and nothing but his smiling face popped
out of the clothing. He was chuckling to
liims-elf that nobody about the hotel knew
of the President's action.
"Well, I suppose yon have had a big re
ception to-night from the guests of the
hotel?" was the first question asked.
"Not a bit of it," he replied with, a smile
and then he laughed aloud. "The people
here don't know anything abont it an1 that
is the best of it." The reporter ex
pressed surprise and then Mr. Shiras con
tinued: "But why should I be given a
reception? I am not yet Justice by a good

up for a long time. These appointments
are made by and with the consent of the
Senate and if the latter body should see fit
to reject me why then I wouldn't get the
place."
"When did you hear of the appoint
ment?" The Notification or the Appointment.
'.'Some time this afternoon I received a
private telegram from a friend in Pittsburg.
That was the first news since then I have
had." I have received telegrams of con
gratulation from a number of friends."
"pid you get any word from the Presi
dent?" "Oh, no; one is not notified officially nntil

I am the only native-born Pennsylvania.,
ever named for the Supreme Bench from
the State. The first Pennsylvania Bepre-St
sentative on the bench was James Wilson.
He was appointed by General Washington.
My recollection is that he came from- the
eastern part of the State. Judge Wilson
was born in Scotland, and was a man of
great ability. The next justice was Henry
Baldwin. He practiced law in Pittsburg
and Meadville and was well known in West
ern Pennsylvania. He was appointed by
General Jackson in 1831 Mr. Baldwin m

horn, I think, In Connecticut. Then came
Judge Bobert C. Grier. He was selected
by Polk or Pierce, I am not snre which. I
am in doubt about his birthplace, but I
don't think he first fair the light in Penn
sylvania. He came from Lycoming county
to Pittsburg, and at the time he was put on
the Supreme Bench he was President Judge
ot Allegheny county. Judge Grier also was
a very able man. The next and last justice
from Pennsylvania was Strong, who was
appointed by General Grant. He is still
living, a hale and hearty old man 'in Wash-
ington. Mr. Strong came from the Eastern
States and practiced law in Berks county.
He was educated lu Yale College.
His College Classmates.
Mr. Shiras also graduated from Yale in
1853, and made a fine record as a student,
taking the Hodley prize. At the mention of
the college, he was asked about his school
days. With characteristic modesty he de
clined to talk on the subject, and would not
say anything about his Hadley conquest. In
his class were Justices Brewer and Brown.
Mr. Shiras said he remembered these men
slightly in college, so that he will not be
exactly a stranger when he takes his
plaee on the bench with the others. He was
very-anxious not to have his college days in
troduced, and dismissed this topiobystating
that in 1883 he received the degree of 'LI D.
from his alma mater.
"Did you have an inkling in advance that
you would be appointed. Qr,we"re'yflu.rea-sonably-aure?"
f
"Well, now, there Is a wide territory be
tween an Inkling and being reasonably snre
of a thing. Of course I was a candidate
with other men, like Cbief Justice Paxion
land Jndge Mitchell. I don't think there
were many candidates. I was told that"
Judge Poison's age was against him."
"Did politics have anything to do with
it?"
"No, I am not a politician. I have a
great many kind and jjood triends, not only
In Western Pennsylvania, but in the east
ern part of the State, and I am grateful to
them all. They conducted my canvass well
and with success. I am a Republican, bave
voted the ticket for many years and hope to
cast my ballot for the party next fall. To
this extent I am a politician and no more."
How It Was Kept a Secret.
All the time the Pittsburg lawyer was
talking he kept chuckling to himself about
how the news had not spread among the
gnests of the hotel. If the people had known
it he undoubtedly would bave been given a
great reception. Mr. Shiras easily accounted
for it. He said the majority of the guests
were women and 'children, most of them
from Pittsburg, The heads of families wero
in the city attending to business,- and the
ladies had not been informed. With
singular modesty, and unlike successful
candidates in general, Mr. Shiras did not
display bis congratulatory messages on a
table for everybody to read, and particu
larly the newspaper men. He said itwas
not necessary to give the name of the people
irom whom he had received telegrams this
evening, though he mentioned his old part
ner in the law, Sol Schoyer, as being among
the first to congratulate him.
To-morrow morning Sir. Shiras will re
turn to Pittsburg. He will arrive in the
city about 1 o'clock. He expects to remain

HOW IT IS MADE UP AND MANAGED
Major General George B. Snowden, com
manding the troops gathered in and about
Homestead, made an announcement to the
newspaper correspondents shortly after 10
o'clock last night:
"Gentlemen," the General said, "I desire
to state that the entire division of the Na
tional Guard now at Homestead will remain
here intact until the present difficulty be
tween the Carnegie company and its em
ployes is finally adjusted. I have no
qualifications to make to the announce
ment. Not one company of this division
will be ordered home until a complete set
tlement is reached."
At this juncture General Snowden was
asked to define what he meant by the"pres
en difficulties being settled." The 'Gen
eral quickly replied "you must excuse me,
I can telf you nothing more. For the pres
ent entire the command will remain here.
Ten minutes later Governor Pattison was
interviewed. He declined to talk for pub
lication and appeared to be anxious to dis
cuss the quality of the weather.
For the past four days the mill men have
been confident that a majority of th
troops would be withdrawn on or before
Friday. The developments of the last two
hours have destroyed their hope and will
undoubtedly have an effect on the strikers.
The Governor's First Night.
Governor Pattison's first night at Camp
Sam Black was a delightful experience to
the Commander-in-Chief of Pennsylvania's
army and navy. The Governor's first day
with the soldiers was not entirely satisfac
tory only on account of the weather. But
with the evening came a mellow sunshine
and a calm that was disturbed only by
music.
The troops as' a rule had worked hard all
day. Those who had not turned out for in
spection by the Governor or are not in
active provost duty are hustling about

preparing for the contemplated grand re
view, and all are ready enough to
thoroughly enjoy the military serenade
just when the sky was redden
ing with a pretty sunset. When
the evening gun was fired the Seventh
Brigade Band marched to the Governor's
quarters in a cottage behind the steel mill
and the general military headquarters.
They played a number of popular airs and
for a time their muslo seemed to float out
upon the evening air like pleasant ripples.
Joined dt the Fourteenth's Band.
Then the Fourteenth Kegiment Band
across the river broke in with a concert to
their Colonel, and the two combined to fill
the air with inspiring melodies. The music
seemed to roll in billows across the water,
and the musicians answered each other in
refrains that were restful.
The Governor and his staff greatly en
joyed the serenade. They loitered about
the pleasant quarters, and seemed to be re
freshen by the entertainment; The people
of Homestead, and the soldiers, too, en
joyed the occasion. It was a bright spot in
a cloudy sky to all there.
Governor" Pattison, with his staff and at
tendants, arrived at camp shortly after 8
o'clock yesterday; morning. They came
from Harrisburg in a special Pullman car,
and they left the Pennsylvania Bailroad at
Brinton station, and their car was switched
across the river -to Homestead. A military
escort awaited his coming at the Homestead
station, and immediately after the train
stopped a salute was fired.
Saluting the Commander In Chief.
The firing continued until 17 guns had
told the coming of the Commander in Chief
and then every soldier in and about Home
stead knew that the Governor had arrived.
His Excellency was dressed in a handsome
suit of black. He wore his high silk hat
and he looked just as he has always looked
for the past ten years. . His styje of clothes,
his style of hat and his firm,
earnest face seemed just the same
yesterday as when he was nominated
for Governor ten years ago. He looked
carefully and almost anxiously over the
crowd of citizens that had assembled with
the soldiers to receive him, and none of tbe
people and few of the conditions surround
ing him escaped his notiee while he was
being escorted from the depot to his quar
ters. Every member of the Governor's staff,
with the exception of one, accompanied
him to Homestead, and beside his staff he
had with him Tim Maher, ot the World's
Fair Commission.
Received Cltlssns and Soldiers.
The Governor remained quietly in his
quarters until the afternoon. He was
called upon by many Homestead citizens
and many officers of the Guard visited him
during the morning. He received every
body with marked politeness, but at no time
was'he drawn into conversation with any of
his callers. He seemed content with shak
ing hand with the people, aud he saw to it
that the people remained content with
shaking hands with him.
In the afternoon the Governor, his staff.
Major General Snowden, Brigadier General
Wiley and Adjutant General Greenland,
Inspected the Fifth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth
and Eighteenth Begiments of the Second
Brigade. All the regiments appeared in
magnificent form. The men and officers
were clean and well groomed. Their arms

were bright and their movements were per
fect. "It was one of the best
inspections ever made, Gen
eral Wiley said last night
after the troons hod retired from the field.
The Governor was highly pleased with the
appearance of the soldiers individually and
collectively, and upon each regiment he be
stowed deserved compliments. N
The Thirteenth Regiment Inspected.
When the inspecting party were return
ing from the field they found drawn np in
front of General Gobln's headquarters the
Thirteenth Kegiment, which had appeared
for regimental drill. At the appearance of
the Governor the" command' was drawn up
for dress parade and inspection. They will
be inspected again, however.
Governor Pattison has not yet decided
how long he will remain at Camp Sam
Blark. It will take him at least two more
days to inspect the troops now there and it
is not therefore likely that he will get away
before Friday or Saturday.
Dnrlng the Governor's stay iu camp all
the.regiments will be on their good behavior
and each will strive to outdo the other in
discipline. The Fourth Kegiment, how
ever, will command as much if not more at
tention than any other regiment in the en
campment It is admittedly one of the first
regiments in the State. It is formed by
companies from Lancaster, Lehigh, Berks
and Schuylkill counties and is composed ot
483 men and officers. Colonel D. B. Case,
of Marietta, is in command of the regiment
He is an old soldier. He has complets con

ment is Simon B. Emeron, grandson of the
late United States Senator Emerson. Every
member of the regiment save ten are pres
ent in camp, and those ten were with one
exception out of the State when the call to
arms was sounded.
"One of my companies is comprised en
tirely ,of miners.'' , Colonel , Case said.
"They were in the mines when the order
came to go to Homestead. 1 sent into the
mines after them and every man responded
tomy order. Theywould go through fire'
nt my command," the Colonel concluded.
Captain F. A. Bennett, of C Company,
was sick in bed when his company was or
dered to report for duty. The Captain's
wife took possession of the order and with a
horse and buggy she droye in person to see
nearly every member of her husband's com
mand and every member responded to her
call. The husband has not yet reported for
duty at camp. His case was the one excep
tion to those absent from the State.
The camp of the Fourth Beziment is in
deed a model.' It is constructed according
to the new military regulations. A square
is formed in front of the Colonel's quarters,
with space enough to lorm two battal
ions. TTsIns the New Tactics.
The new tactics are used exclusive
ly in drilling the regiment, which
is not done by any other regi
ment in the encampment. A great
majority of the members are qualified
marksmen and many of them are sharp
shooters. Their camp la never open to vis
itors, a rule enforced by no other regiment
in the Third Brigade. Withal, Colonel
Case is proud of his regiment His regi
ment is proud of Colonel Case, and the
National Guard ot the State has reason to
be proud of them both.
General Bridges and Col. Chase, of the
militia of Massachusetts, were visitors at
Camp Sam Black yesterday. They were
overwhelmed with the appearance of the
regiments while being inspected and both
were enthusiastic in their praise of the citi
zen soldiers.
The general average and efficiency of the
regiments of the Second Brigade are ap
pended: Sheridan Troop, general average, 70.8; etH-t

THE FIRST BRIGADE HOME.
Camp Broke Yesterday Morning and the
Soldiers in Philadelphia Before Night.
PHI-ADE-PHIA, July 19. Special. As
quickly as they gathered together a week
ago at the call of Governor Pattison to go
to Mt, Gretna, the boys of the First Brigade
broke camp to-day and returned to their
homes in th s city. They came back
bronzed by the. sun, with faces unshaven
and uniforms weather-stained,- and were
greeted with hearty cheers from big crowds
along their line of march from the railroad
station to their armories. Their general
appearance gave indications of a week of
busy camp life, but everv man was in his
place, and the signs ot hard usage about
their uniforms and accouterments served
only to make them look the more like
soldiers.
General Dechert received telegraph orders
at his headquarters in Mt. Gretna at G
o'clock this morning to break camp. The
regiments began to reach this city, arriving
at Thirty-second and Market streets, at 4
o'clock.

Burgess McLuckie' s-ase is closely watched

be admitted to bail to-day or to-morrow. If
he is released he will be tendered a public
reception by his townsmen when he returns
home.
O'DONNELL STILL MISSING.
Philadelphia's Chief of Police Instructed to
Arrest Htm for Murder.
Hugh O'Donnell, Chairman of Home
stead's famous Advisory Committee, is still
missing. No one knows where he is lo
cated. All of the large cities in the coun
try have been scoured, and no trace of him
could be found. It was rumored that he
was to arrive in Pittsburg at 11:33
last night, but he did not come in.
It was also stated he was in Harris
burg waiting to have' a conference with the
Governor to-day, but as Mr. Pattison is
going to remain in Homestead this story is
not credited. Last night word was tele
graphed to the Chief of Police of Philadel
phia to arrest him on sight on the charge of
murder, which has been preferred against
him in Pittsburg.
At midnight Hugh O'Donnell had not
shown up at Homestead, and the members
of the Advisory Committee announced that
they did not expect him until to-night.

The Dispatch made a tour of the mills
late in the afternoon. He found between
150 and 200 working in the armor plate
mills. The majority of these men were
smuggled into the works in small squads by
means of freight trains on the Pittsburg,
McKeesport and Voughiogheny Bailroad
tracks and riverx barges. These men were
in charge of Superintendent Potter and his
'assistants.
The foreman stated that four furnaces in
the armor plate department had been
charged and will be rnllln? nlate to-day.
The gas in the melting department was lit
Monday, but it will take seven days to heat
it to the proper temperature for turning out
metal. The machine and open hearth de
partments are alsoiin operation.
The dinkey was run by a colored man
yesterday. This is the first time a colored
man was ever known to be employed in
these works. Carpenters were busy fixing
up a dining room with tables and benches.
The agents of the company declined in
he most positive terms to discuss the situa
tion, but are a unit in declaring that they
will have plenty of help within the next
three days.
