A PEIYATE IS BADLY PDMSHED.
"Be Is Strong Up ty the Thumbs for an In
cecdiary Cheer.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE TENTH BOYS
A bullet evidently fired at a party of Bat
tery B soldiers who were grouped in front
of their quarters on the eminence overlrok
ing the Carnegie Steel "Works struck the
colored servant at the home of J. 2J. Byers.
The -wound was not dangerous. The ball
entered her lelt foot. "When shot she was
at work just in the rear of where
the soldiers were grouped. The
shooting was at once reported to Colonel
Hawkins, in command of the Provisional
Brigade. Orders were issued at once re
quiring renewed diligence on the part of
the outposts and sentinels, and another
order was issued prohibiting any of the sol
diers from leaving the encampment.
The confusion caused by the stray bullet
from the unknown sharpshooter had hardly
subsided when the report reached general
headquarters that H. C Frick had been shot
and killed. This report created a profound
sensation. Generals Gobin, "Wiley and Haw
kins were at once ordered to report at gen
eral headquarters and an hour was spent by
them in conference with Major General
Snowden. When the conference con
cluded the generals hurried to their com
mands and each looked anxiousand earnest.
Whatever orders followed their return were
carefully concealed.
Discussed by Everybody.
The shootine of Mr. Frick was discussed
by every officer and soldier in the encamp
ment Immediately upon the receipt of the
news at general headquarters it was
signaled to Colonel Hawkins' command,
and it went from headquarters along the
line until every private knew of the start
ling occurrence. They talked of it with
apparent concern, and while they only re
ferred occasionally to the shooting of the
colored woman, they were more or less im
pressed with the appearance of unfriendly
sharpshooters.
General Wiley entertained a number of
his friends yesterday by explaning to them
just why the countersign or password is
lolded in the form of a three cornered
cocked hat The countersign is written at
general headquarters. It is written in a
Email hand in the center of the paper and
is folded into the point. AVlien being
carried down the line in active service the
bit of paper is held in the heart of the right
hand of the orderly. At two of the points
the fold is scaled with red wax. At the
approach of the enemy the orderly bits the
third point oil' the order and swallows it,
which keeps the countersign or password
irom the enemy.
"Tnat is the reason for folding the orders
from general headquarters in the three
pointed for.n," General Wiley said yester
day. "In service many a countersign went
down the throat of the orderly in charge
ot it."
The orders go from general headquarters
to the bncade headquarters and finally
along the line until it is finally given to the
sentinels or 'guards niter repeat abont
9 o'clock each night. The Brigade Com
mander receipts to the orderly for the order,
the Colonels recei pt to brigade headquar
ters and irom regimental headquarters it is
verbally handed down.

Sharp and Prompt Punishment.
Private lams, of K Company, Tenth

visional Brigade for three cheers for
the assassin. Colonel Strector, from
his quarters, heard the incendiary shout
He hurried into the camp and ordered the
regiment to be paraded in double-quick
time. AVhen his command was drawn up
he recited to the soldiers the remark he had
heard.
"Iheardthevoicedistinctly,"the Colonel
said. "I think I recognized'it and I want
the man who made the statement to advance
two paces. The Colonel had recognized
lams' voice and he was standing directly
in front of the accused when he was talk
ing. Immediately Private lams stepped,
to the front. He was trembling like an
aspen and he seemed unable to hold his
gun.
"You offered three cheers for the killing
of Mr. Frick, did you not?" the Colonel
asked.
lams did not answer. He hung his
head and nodded in the affirmative. He
was ordered to the guard house. The
Colonel and his staff, including the sur
geons, then went to the guard house. The
officer of the day took charge of the crimi
nal and at the Colonel's orders he was hung
uo by the thumbs for thirty minutes.
The surgeons remained with the
unfortunate during all his punishment; one
of them kept watch on his pulse while an
other looked after his heart, and at the end
of 30 minutes Surgeon Neff ordered him
taken down. When released young lams
was limp and apparently unconscious. The
surgeons remained with him for an hour,
when he was taken to his quarters.
To-dav the young man will be dishonora
bly discharged from the Guard. He will be
sent home on Monday. Young lams lives
at Waynesburg, Pa.
"On account of the shooting of Mr. Frick,
the order relieving the Third Brigade was
rescinded. The brigade band had left, how
ever, before the new order was issued.
General Gobin left last night for his home,
He will probably return next week.
THIBD BEIOADE 10 STAT.
General Gobin Goes Home to Spend Son
day, but Will Be Bnct Tuesday.
General J. P. S. Gobin, commander of
the Third Brigade, left for his home in Leb
anon last evening. He will return Tues
day morning, and said he wanted to
spend a few days with his family. He said
there was no intention of recalling his
brigade, and it was very uncertain now
when the troops would leave Homestead.
"The attempted assassination of Frick,"
he said, "is one of the consequences of this
constant labor agitation. I blame the
newspapers tor keeping it up. I was afraid
we would have a scrap with some of the
women at Homestead this afternoon. All
decent citizens should assist in maintaining
law and order."

"Two years ago two of my family, a young

was unable, after a week's time, to check or

SULL1TAN NOT IN IT.
Representative Reams Easily Beats
Dim for tbe Legislature.
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES HELD,
Eat the Bank and File of the Fartf Take
Terj Little Interest.
BREN5EN LOOKS TOE SOME VICTORIES
The Democratic primaries were lost in the
shuffle yesterday afternoon. They were
held, of course, at least a bluff was made at
voting in some sections of the city, but none
'of the leaders last evening knew what was
the result except in the Fourth Legislative
district, where Representative Kearns and
Mr. Sullivan sparred in a spirited man
ner for place. Kearns was the winner by a
big majority. He received 17 votes or
delegates out of 21, Sullivan got the other
3, and this is how they will stand in the
convention on Tuesday. Kearns will no
doubt be returned to'the Legislature, as the
district is strongly Democratic.
Alderman McKenna had charge of the
battle for Kearns. He instructed his men
to report last evening at Pat Allen's saloon
on Liberty street. Quite a collection of
Democrats was found there. In the crowd
were the Alderman, County Chairman AV.
J. Brennen and Detective Beltzhoover.
They were feeling good over Kearns' success.
His Defeat Caused a Surprise.
Sullivan was strong with the yonnger ele
ment, and was expected to make a better
showing than he did. His overwhelming
defeat was a big surprise. All interest
in the primaries was centered in this con
test John Ennis was found sitting on the City
Hall steps about 9 o'clock in the evening.
He had just come from tbe races. He said
he didn't know until yesterday morning
that the primaries were to be held, and
then he learned of them through The Dis
patch. He remarked that ther? were not
many martyrs willing to be led to the stake
so far as he knew. It is settled that
AV. J. Brennen will be re-elected County
Chairman. 27o opposition has developed
to him. Mr. Ennis thought that the com
mittee should have the privilege of electing
its own Chairman. About all the commit
tee does is to select members of the State
Committee, and as this won't be done be
fore next January not much attention is be
ing paid to this end of the canvass. " There
will probably be a lively light in the Coun
ty Committee when the time comes, but
the Democrats are not borrowing tronble
during the warm weather.
Hcadquartrrs Stilt and Dark.
The county headquarters in the Old Uni
versity building on Grant street were as
dark as pitch. A man appeared on the
scene about 8:30 looking for some ot the
leaders, but the squeak of a stray rat
was the only response his vigorous knocks
on the door received. Outside the big
piece of canvass over the windows, an
nouncing the names of Cleveland and
Stevenson, hung lifeless and was as silent
as the old building. The heat was terrific,
and there were no zephyrs to play with its
ample folds. The condition of the head
quarters shows how little interest was
taken in the primaries.
Mr. Brennen, However, was chipper and
in an elegant humor. He had not received
any reports and did not expect to hear from
the precincts before Monday. He said a
'full list of delegates had been elected, but
he and nobody else knew who they were.
Welhe to Oppose Dalzsll.
"AVe have a great opportunity to win
this fall," he continued, ''and I must say
that the Democrats are wide awake. At
the conventions on Tuesday we will nom
inate candidates, for all the offices. ,,1 think
this is our opportunity to do something.
The Democratsl uori't need tc open head
quarters like the Republicans. They have
no fights on hand, and the party 'is har
monious. Sipe is the only candidate for
Congress in the Twenty-fourth district
from Allegheny county. AVampler is not
running, neither are Herman Kunkel nor
Henry Meyer fighting each other in Alle
gheny. They are the warmest friends,
and are not candidates for Con
gress in Stone's district. It is not
settled that AVilliam AVeihe will oppose
Dalzell. I haven't heard anything from
the Twenty-fourth district. It will take a
few days before the result is known.
In most of the districts there were no
candidates. Mr. Brennen thought Sipe
would meet with considerable opposition in
Allegheny county. The candidates named
in The Despatch yesterday will undoubt
edly be nominated on Tuesday.

present, and C. A. Burrows, Chairman of
the committee, presided. The business at
tended to was of a preliminary character,
as it is the wish of those interested to have
the mass convention decide everything.
However, several committees were ap
pointed to facilitate the workings of the
convention.
The Committee on Order of Business is
composed of T. J. Roney, AV. H. Lose,
J. B. Adams and L. R. Thomas.
The following gentlemen composed the
Committee on Nominations: Thos. J. Mc
Gonnel, Geo. Vilsaek, J. H. Stevenson, J.
F. Miller, A. T. Behkerd, AV. L. Bird, AVm.
H. Lemmon, John Bird and John Loder.
The Chairman ei-officio will be a member
of both committees.
The Baker ballot law renders the organ
izing of a new party in this State not an
easy business. In order to have the names
of their candidates printed to the
State ticket it is necessary to have
a petition signed by one-halt of 1
per cent of the voters in this district for
which the candidate is nominated, and on
the county ticket 3 Der cent of the vote of
the county. In order to economize time
and labor it was decided to recommend to
the convention to waive the nominations
for Coroner and Director of the Poor, as
they do not consider the offices of much
political importance, and as it would also
save them the labor .involved in getting
3 per cent of 52,000 votes, the basis they
would have to go on. The tickets they will
nominate will be the Legislative, Congres
sional, Senatorial and Judicial. The com
mittee appreciates that there will be a great
deal of hard work to do to make a showing,
bnt there is no lack of encouragement for
the movement. .Every mall brings to tne
Chairman letters pledging assistance for the
cause.

SUSTAINS THE ELECTION.
Judge Ewlnff Benders a Decision In the
Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester
Traction Company Contest Suit Against
BlcKeeiport's Mayor Court Notoj.
Judge Ewing yesterday handed down an
opinion in the matter of the application of
AVilliam Eberhardt for a writ of quo war
ranto on John H. Dalzell, C. L. Magee and
others, acting as directors of the Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester Traction Com
pany, to show cause by what authority they
exercise the office of members of the Board
of Directors of that company.
At the election for directors of the com
pany Eberhardt, in addition to voting his
own stock, . held stock from other parties
amounting to 2,000 shares belonging to per
sons for whom M. AV. AVatson and others
acted as trustees. He offered to vote
these shares accumulatively, for himself by
virtue of proxies held by him. Mr. Dal
zell filed an objection under oath averring
'that these' parties were not the bona fide
owners of the stock. AVithout receiving
any testimonv outside of the books and cer
tificates, the judges of election rejected the
votes of the stock so offered. Judge Ewing
in his opinion eaid that the validity of this
action and the election of the defendants
depended on the construction of the act of
May 7, 1889, relating to corporations.
The Court was of the opinion that
the act in question gives power to any
actual bona fide stockholder of the corpora
tion who has a right to vote to object to
tbe vote of an apparent stockholder and
make his objection In writing when the
ballot is tendered. It then becomes the
duty of the judges of election to discover
whether the stockholder whose vote is ob
jected to is a bona fide stockholder. If he is
not the vote is to be rejected, unless tbe stock
is held in trust in the manner specified in the
act The judges in this case, it was staled,
held that the objection filed
was evidence that the proposed voter was
not a legal holder of the stock. The Conrt
was of tbe opinion that in this holding tbey
were mistaken. The objection was not evi
dence, but laid the ground for inquiry. In
the case of Mr. Davison, the certificates and
stock in his name on the books was prima
facia evidence that he was entitled to vote
on 1,000 shares of stock illegally rejected.
This would have added 5,000 to Eberhardt's
vote, making his vote 43,585 to 46,842 for
the defendants. As to the stock of Messrs.
AVatson and AVood the absence of testimony
justified the judges in excluding the votes.
In this view the defendants had a majority
of all the legal votes and, the Court said,
are properly holding as directors oi the
company.
SUING A MAYOR
For 810,000 Damneea for the Death of Her
Htubind.
Mrs. Catharine Truell, of McKeesport,
yesterday entered suit for 520,000 damages
against Thomas Tillbrook, Mayor of Mc
Keesport, Thomas AVheatly, AVm. McFar
lane, Daniel Jenkins, James Heal, Charles
Gilchrist, John'Marles, L. Dowder and R.
Tate. The damages claimed are in behalf
of herseif and three children for the death
of her husband, James Truelh
She states that on the night of July 26,
1891, at the instigation of Mayor Till
brook, the other defendants broke into
Truell's house, No. 515 Fourth street, Mc
Keesport, and without right or authority
arrested him. He was ill at the time and
under care of a physician. The defendants
knew this, but paid no heed, and, disregard
ing his condition, threw him into a ceil in
the lockup. As a result of such treatment,
on July 27, at 8 o'clock in the morning, he
died of heart failure. In consequence, $20,
000 is asked for his family.

THE ANGLERS' PARADISE,
TThere Some Plttsburcers Gain Health
and Pleasure.
Izak Walton must have been a Pitts
burger, for it is a well-known fact that
"Smoky City" people are the most enthusi
astic fishermen in the country; every other
man you meet Is a crank on the subject. It
Is said that at least 5,009 Fittsbnrgcrs be
come "Knights of tho ilod," and go Hsliing
every season; fully 75 per cent of the many
clubs which camp in Northern Michigan are
from the Gas City.
If Atlantic City Is a "young Pittsburg;,"
the "Peninsula" promises to bo a sister to
her.
A member of one of those clubs, in talking
with the writer, said: "People rave about
tbe beautiful scenery in Europo and else
where, but we have finer views at home. It
is a revelation to take a trip up through the
St. Clair river. Lake St. Clair and Lake
Huron, and In fact all through 1'eninsplar
Michigan. There is some of tne finest river
and lake scenery In the world.
On tbe romantic Burt Lake, about half
way betweon Cheboygan and Petosky and
near Mackinaw, there is ono of the best
camps, as to location and surroundings, of
any in that region. It Is on what is known
as tho "Inland Itoute," whicli Is a paradise
for lovers of natural beauty, with its
forest-fringed lakes, winding rivers and
romantio scenery. It is also tho
heaven of anglers, lor black bass,
pcich, pike, pickerel, muscalonge and white
nsu auonnu.auu wumn a lew nines specicleu
trout and the rare grayling, which is un
doubtedly the sarnies c fish .in American
waters. This latter species is'vcry rare, and
found in no other locality in this country.
The club owning these grounds, HO ncres
in extent, is the Areonaut, of Pittsburg.
They have built six double cottages, own a
steam yacht SO feet lonir, and have "all the
comforts of home," and more, too. Their
beach Is said to be the finest bathing bench
inland, with a dclightiul surf every after
noon. I saw a letter the other day irom a
sentleman who is now at Burt Lake, and at
tne time oi writiuz tne tetter no said there
was the finest surf he ever saw better than
Atlantic City.
The club is madenp of prominent business
men of Pittsburg, their families and fiicnds.
Y. M. Laird, of AVood street.K. n. JlcCieery
and J. E. Bobbins, of tho Luke Shore road,
uvo enthusiastic members, and can give any

ONLY ONE MILL IDLE.
The Illinois Steel Company Prompt
to Sign the Scale.
FIVE OP THEIR SIX MILLS GOING.
The Employes Are Treated as Equals by
the Management
WORKMEN ARE SATISFIED AND HAPPY
"While the trouble between the iron and
steel masters in this vicinity and the Amal
gamated Association remains unsettled,
quite a large number of AVestern and South
ern manufacturers are waiving all claims
for an immediate adjustment and have
signed the new scale. In nearly every in
stance the signers make an agreement that
if in the future any concessions are made by
the Amalgamated Association they are to
receive the same benefit as other manufact
urers. Outside of the 37 sheet mills that are now
working under the new Western scale of
prices, 44 firms who puddled iron have
signed. Great advantage is secured by the
manufacturers who have already agreed
to pay Amalgamated wageg, for while the
business of the local iron men remains at a
standstill, the signers are allowed to oper
ate their mills and fill the demands of their
customers.
Prominent above all of the manufactur
ers whose mills are now running is the
Illinois Steel .Company.
The firm made contracts through the as
sociation as to wages and minor conditions
to govern the employes' work for one, two
or three year?.
The South Chicago Steel and Kail Mills,
where 4,500 men are now employed, were
not affected by the recent trouble. They
were running at the time and the wage con
tract does not expire until next year. At
the Joliet Steel and Bail Mills, where 2,000
men are employed, the contract terminates
on December 31 next. The agreement at
this mill would not have terminated even
then, but according to a prearrangement
the firm or the men could give six months'
notice prior to the beginning of a new year
that they desired an opportunity to read
just present conditions. The firm gave
such a notice, but they state that it may
not be necessary to make any changes.
The Joliet Bod Mills, employing 300 men,
which shut down on July 1, res umed opera
tions "Wednesday, July 20. New machinery
was put in and repairs made. To show that
the best of feeling prevails between the
company and their employes at this plant
on the question of wages, it might be stated
that the men voluntarily reduced the wages
on one class of labor 33 per cent The Bay
View Mills at Milwaukee, employing 1,500
men, which closed down on July 1 because
the wage contract bad expired and the men
desired two weeks' rest, resumed yesterday.
These works were built in 1868 and 1874,
and a nail mill was added in 1884. The mill
contains eight quadruple puddling fur
naces, 25 shearing furnaces, eight train of
rolls and one hammer. The product is light
rails, merchants' bar iron and steel and fish
plates, with an annual capacity of 120,000
net tons.
At the Union Mills in Chicago 1,800 men
are all working. The contract does not
expire until next year. The North Chicago
Mills, where 800 men are employed, is the
only plant owned by the company that is
now idle. The three-years' wage contract
expired June 30. It is expected by the
firm that these mills will remain closed for
some weeks. The yards are lull of ma
terial and repairs have to be made. "While
the repairing is going on the question of
wages will be taken up.

LEADING MILLINERY HOUSE
GRATIFICATION ! EXPLANATION !
Unstinted, most generous, whole-souled, intelligent and faith-abiding
patronage continues to crowd our stores, in what is termed the dull or be-i
tween season times. This we conceive to be the soundest and most exalted,
testimony to our methods of catering to the weal and wants of an economical,
thrifty, cash-buying people. We don't pretend to be perfect. If we were,
would soon be translated from this mundane sphere. No, 'tisn't egotis-'
tical belief in our perfection that fills our stores with happy, willing, not to
say eager buyers. Buying, as we invariably do, immense quantities of goods
at very lowest notch for spot cash, of course we'll sometimes make mis-j
takes, buy too many, etc., etc Well, we always put a small profit on these
goods, and, in order for this small profit to pay, have to make a very rapid
turnover. When we see that these goods can't be sold in a given time, then
down go the prices, irrespective of cost or intrinsic value. But then we
don't make a big hullabaloo about it, using such stereotyped, hackneyed,
chestnut phrases: Great Slash in Prices! Grand Slaughter! Gigantic Sac
rifice! Cut Deeper than ever! Pruning Knife! and so on ad libitum.
None of these in ours, thank you. We never use the word Reduce in any
shape or form, but the discerning, appreciative cash-buying community '
know the bargains that are obtainable at Danziger's only, and that's why
you see such crowds of buyers in our beautiful, brilliant stores these so- '
called dull days.
