At the jail office the party were met by "Warden McAleese and Deputy Warden EofTel, who admitted them behind the bars into the office. Berkman was then released from the handcuffs. Warden McAleese said: "So this is the 'celebrated prisoner. Why, he doesn't look 'very desperate." Berkman's face broke into a smile, but he isaid not a word. A few minutes later (Deputy Warden Soffel began a search of 'his pockets, and the prisoner laughingly .said that he had nothing in his pockets, (and referred to the officers who accompanied iim to back up the statement. fTllted Under the Warden' Qanstlons. Warden McAleese at once commenced (lis fire of questions which alwars breaks Jdown a prisoner ana the scoundrel admitted bis name was not Berkman, and that he had lonly assumed it very recently. The asas- 'im was then taten to a cell in the south wing, close to where the Homestead pris oners are confined. The charge acainst him was felonious assault and the hearing was set for August 1 before Alderman Gripp. As the maxi mum sentence under this charge is onlv seven years, it is probab e some other charge will be added or tne whole charge changed. Everybody seemed sorrv that there was no law by which he could be hanged. All afternoon at Central station he com plained about the quality of meals lur nisbod at the station house", and when sup per was brought to him he refused to eat it because he heard he was to be taken to jail. In that he was fooled, for he did not know what prison fare wa. Once in the jail, he complained of hnnger, and the Warden or dered him a tin of water and a half a lnaf of bread. He ate it in silence. Just before being "taken to his cell he Btated he intended to make a long statement when be was put on trial. He also said he would make a written statement for the pa pers in German. THIKK THEY KNOW HIM. -. Creeosbun; Bad a Crank Who V. as Af- fected br Hot Wcnthsr. A dispatch from Greensburg states that the people in that locality believe that the man who shot H. C Frick is none other than Simon Bachmann, who took up his quarters in that place 14 months ago. While in Greensburg Simon resided in Xiudwick, a suburb, the residents of which were mostlv Polish Hebrews. He distinguished himself by becoming insane trequently during the .Eummcr months.but in the winter he always Iseemed peaceably inclined. At one time, while laboring under a hal lucination, Bachmann stole a horse. He i was arraigned for trial,and the scene which 'followed was something remarkable. The tyoung man assumed a dramatic attitude.and gave rent to such threats and acarchistic utterances that the magistrate became frightened. He was committed for 30 daj s, and. upon being released, became engaged with a book agency, and subsequently en tered the land office business in Indiana and Westmoreland counties. It is alleged when the agency called for a settlement the Bachmann was short of funds. When arrest was threatened the oung man's socialistic ideas again broke t and it was deemed best to let him one. It is thought at Greensburg that the warm days of July have again turned his mind and led him to commit the rash deed of Saturday. BEBKHAH Iff HEW HATN.

Invjne Stan Arrested on Second Avenue. Police Lieutenant Duncan and Officer ( Snick picked up an odd and hungry look ing man on Second a enue last night who declared that he intended to kill Andrew Carnegie. Of course the lellow is crazy, and is not thought to be an Anarchist or Socialist. His declaration, however, war I ranted the police in arresting him. He was wandering in the neighborhood of Soli o and 'asking the way to Homestead. He had I told many people that he came from 'Chicago and walked all the way. He xliad been a participant in the Haymarket riots, and had lived in that city and worked on a cable road. He was locked up in the Fourteenth ward station, where he gave his name as Hubert Sterling and his age as 24 years. He is a slender youth, shabbily dressed, and looked and actei as if he had had noth ing to eat for several djjs. A pocket knife was found on his person. Lieutenant Duncan asked him what he wanted to see Mr. Carnegie for, and he said he would settle that when he saw him. THE REIGN OF PEACE.

NOIHEE CUT IN THE BATE. a Fe Kednc-s the Fare to 810 for the Knlchts Templar, was reported yesterday that the Santa road had again cut the Knight Templar .e between Chicago and Denver from 512 .o 510. It is stated that General Passenger Agent E. A. Ford, of the Pennsylvania Company, is willing to reduce the fare to Chicago 52, rather than permit the Santa Fe to get any of the business out of Pitts burg. This is done to help the Western lints. If this is correct it will make the round trip rate from Pittsburg to Denver only 520. This will make a very cheap ride to Denver, and the business is expected to be enormous. An Open Meeting.

He Is Eearinc Reports and Attending to business Affairs. MK. CARNEGIE'S WORDS OP CONDOLENCE At nightfall, yesterday, Mr. H. C. Frick was reported by his physicians to be in a condition which bid them hope for his re covery. After he reached his home and was car ried to his room, he was kept ,in absolute quiet, except in so far as he talked with the medical attendants, who spent the night with him. His first act was to send a message to his wife who lay weak and ill in an adjacent apartment He assured her of his safety but she was not told the full extent of his injuries. She was informed that he had been slightly wounded in the neck by a crazy man. Under this belief she passed a fairly good night, but yesterday morning through the oversight of someone she saw the head lines in one of the papers and be came seriously ill in consequence. Her condition caused much anxiety all day but she quieted down in the evening, although still in a state that was to be deplored. Mr. Frick was rested by several" hours sleep, ate the slight breakfast allowed bim with relish and then fell asleep until about noon. During this time there were count less callers at the house where the brothers of Mrs. Frick received them and informed them of the condition of the wounded man. Fonr New Wounds Discovered. About 1 o'clock Dr. Litchfield dressed the cuts made by Berkman's dagger. There are no less than six of these cuts of greater or lesser degree. In addition to the two serious ones on the right side, there was a deep one in the calf of the left leg, which was not discovered until he was undressed at home. This wound was inflicted, Mr. Frick thought, when he turned to force Berkman against the wall when he at tempted to disarm him. Besides this there are two long scratches on the tipper part of the left leg and a slight cut on right hip. To those with whom he talked Mr. Frick said that Berkman's knife was held in his left hand, which was free. His right hand held the revolver and was grasped by Mr. Leishman, while Mr. Frick clutched 1'erk inan's throat and body. That left hand was plied busily by the Anarchist, and if the. knife had been sharper the wounds wouldj have probably caused death. . As it is, there is cause for hearty con gratulalion, for half an JacdiSerexic&fii tin location of any on.e-'Df the four principal wounds would injf probability have led to death. Thfhaff which passed around the deck almost grazed the spinal cord; that which passed out at the side almost' touched the spine; the upper cut on the right side would have penetrated the lung but for the edge of the ninth rib, and half an inch more depth would have carried the large lower cut into the abdominal cavity. It was re garded as astonishing that this should be true of so many wounds. Dr. Litchfield has the most profound ad miration for the self-control and courage of his patient. He says there was scarcely any result from what the medical men call "shock," no sudden fall of temperature nor cold sweat As the doctor stated to a caller during the afternoon: "Mr. Frick is doing welk There is danger from the secondary effect of the wounds and there will be for a week. He has so far digested his food well and is doing nicely, and I have strong hope he will recover." Mr. Frick Still Transacting Business. During the afternoon Mr. Leishman called and was admitted for a short time to Mr. Frick's room. The latter was anxious to know what was new in the labor compli cations and in regard to Berkman. A short time after this, Mr. Frick sent for the news papers, which were read to him. As he lay on his sofa in he office on Sat urday afternoon he asked for the extra edi tions of the afternoon papers, and read them in part to see what was said of Berkman. The physicians remonstrated and told him it was exciting him and causing his temper ature to rise. He laughed and replied: "It will not hurt me. This is very inter esting reading." To quote Dr. Litchfield again: "2Tot one man in thousands could have taken this afTair as Mr. Frick has done. He has shown marvelous control. In reality, the course of his thoughts was merely interrupted for about five minutes while he was highly ex cited by the actual struggle with his assail ant When he was placed on his sofa and the man was under arrest he resumed the current of thoneht he had dropped took tip his affairs just where he had been when interrupted." Uerkmtn's Nerve Had Fulled. Speaking of Berkman yesterday Mr. Frick said: "It is singular this man did not attack me in the hall where I saw him just before he entered the office. When I came down in the elevator from the fifth floor I noticed this man walking up and down. I saw lie n as a stranger and glanced at mm, supposing he was on his way into the office on some matter of business. He did not seem excited, but looked at me as I looked at him. Wc were within a few feet of each other, but he made no effort to speak to me or molest me. I passed into the of fice, leaving him walking up and down." It is evident that Berkmau's courage failed him at that moment, and it is prob able he walked down the stairs to the first floor, and tlien finally making up his mind to kill, entered the elevator at the same time Mr. Leishman did and got off at the second floor with him, but did not at once enter the office. Another thing of which both Mr. Frick and Mr. Leishman spoke yesterday was the absolute silence of Berkman during the whole of the encounter. He made no ex clamation of pain when attacked in turn, nor did he speak when taken into custody, crimsoned by crime. Mr. Frick thinks it is probable that Berkman had a dynamite cartriiige in his mouth when he first entered the office and this was why he was silent During the day there were several in quiries from Mr. Andrew Carnegie by cable as to Mr. Frick's condition and the nature of his injuries. A lull account of the affair was sent him last night and a prompt an swer was received expressing sorrow at the deed and tendering profound sympathy. All or 11 U Lieutenants Called. Superintendent Thomas Lynch, of the Frick Coke Company, Superintendent Ram ey, of South West, Messrs. Andrew and John Mellon, and all the chief employes of the various Carnezio concerns, called during RESTING ASIL OW the afternoon. These men all gave the most marked evidences of a sin cere regard and admiration for Mr. Frick. They spoke of him as a kind friend and intelligent and just chief. No man conld have more lovnl and devoted lieutenants than has Mr. Frick, and their feeling for him is not one of 'selfishness or bounded by interest in the Carnegie pay roll There is hardly a man who is brought into frequent personal business contact with Mr. Frick as an employer who does not speak of favors done and acts of kindliness and thoughtfulness. Late in the day the bullet wounds were examined and cleansed by the surgeons, and Mr. Frick said he felt more comforta ble. He is not weakened by loss of blood, as he did not bleed enough to at all seriously aflect him. It can be said with truth that there is scarcely a family in the city is among Mr. Frick's acquaintances which has not sent a representathe to call and ask for news, or has sent messages of sympathy. Business associates, firms and individuals in all parti, of the country, railway presi dents, Senators, Congressmen and notable men of nearly all shades of political opinion have either written or telegraphed, asking how Mr. Frick is and expressing horror at his attack. At midnight Mr. Frick was reported as resting easily and continuing to, show no signs of fever or inflammation of his wounds. Hunting Up BrrUmnn' Record. Superintendent of Police Roger O'Mara left for New York last evening to hunt up Berkman's record. He declined to talk, and claimed he was goin? to the metropolis on private business. He had his little daughter with him, but will leave her in Philadelphia under the care of an oculist LIGHT SUNDAY HEARINGS.

Cltv Friends. The McCord Fishing Club, consisting of 120 members, camped on the Monongahela river yesterday. There are as many fish in the river now as there were before they pitched their tents. When visited last evening, they were engaged in soaring salt mackerel which they intended to bring back as fresh fish caught in the Mononga hela. One fellow actually caught a fish four inches long, as well as three or four little ones. The fishing club suspects that stray angle worms have formed the habit of bathing in the rher and have been eaten by all the fish. Fell Ovrr a Stone 1 nil. George Wise, who lives on South Twenty- sixth street, fell off the Baltimore and Ohio railroad stone wall along Second avenue, at Burlington street, last night, and was seri ously injured. He was walkine along the top of the wall when he tripped and fell down on Second avenue, a distance of 20 feet. His right shoulder was broken in two places and his hip dislocated. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and sent to the Mercy Hospital. He will hardly recover. , Death of an Injured Miner.

The Union Hills Are Not to Start for Tito or 'Jhree Weeks. SESSION OP THE ADY1S0RI BOARD There was more stir at Duquesne yester day than any other time since the strike be gan. The streets were full of people, and the din of jostling crowds was supple mented by the music of the Duquesne Ger man band, which escorted the various dele gations of the Amalgamated Association from the trains, as they arrived, to the grove where the big mass meeting vta. to be held. At 2:30 r. jr. nearly 2,000 men, women and children had assembled in the grove. Those who seemed interested in the meeting, about 600 in number, took their places on the large dancing platform in front of the speakers' stand. The meet ing was called to order by Harry Adams, Chairman of the Advisory Committee. He spoke at length on the objects of the meet ing and the importance of organizing, and Jras glad the men of Duquesne had gone into the Amalgamated Association. Clos ing, he said: "But, whatever we do, we must obey the law and preserve the peace. We must de pend upon moral suasion, and that, after all, is much better than force. It has beeu demonstrated that success does not depend upon force. There has been no need of force here. It is to the interest of every man, and especially every laboring man, to pre vent disorder and keep down riots. I am sorry for Mr. Frick, and sincerely regret the unfortunate occurrence of which he was the victim, and I am glad from the bottom of my heart that the deed was not done by any of his workmen." The next speaker was yice President Carney, of the Amalgamated Association. He discussed the question of organizing, and concluding saidf"See to it that there is no breach of the,peacc See to it that the laws of the land are respected, and the pub will be wjthyou, the press of the world will he-with you, and the brains of the wnrlil will h with vnn " An flHrlrAB. ir.i than mniA V...

There were present del egations irom Homestead, McKeesport and Pittsburg. There will be another meeting held this evening at which several members will be initiated into the Amalgamated Associa tion. The headquarters of the Association arc at the old rink building, now known as the Turners' hall. The business men are beginning to notice the effects of the strike, and in common with a good many others, they wish it were over. WORKMEN MDCH AGITATED. Bcport Becomes Current That a Number of Non-Union Men tVonld Bo Put In the Lawrencevllle 31111s B fore Sl;htfaI Secretary Lovrjoj's Statrmcnt The Upper and Lower Union mills of the Carnegie Steel Company presented a de serted appearance yesterday. The only thing to relieve the impressing monotony of the scene and give the works a semblance of activity was the steady tread of the watch men as they marched up and down their beaten paths-on the inside of the works. About 5 o'clock last evening there was a speedy change in the situation. The mills remained as impassive as ever, but a rumor had become current among the locked-out workmen that an attempt would be made at nightfall to place a number of non-union men in the two plants, and considerable ex citement reigned. At all times during day and night the mills have been guarded by a scouting committee selected from among the old workmen. This body is divided into several sections and patrol beats in the neighborhood of the works. It is their duty to watch all suspicious strangers and to prevent any outsiders from entering the mills. It anything out ot the ordinary oc curs they have orders to report at head quarters at once. That the firm would try to place non union men in the works under the cover of darkness originated downtown. The mat ter was reported to an Amalgamated official and he lost no time in communicating the news to the workers in Lawrenceville. Upon learning of the probable action of the firm they immediately reinforced the scout ing committee and gave strict orders that the river in the vicinity of the Union Milk should be diligently watched, and at the first sign ot a boat bearing men the matter should be reported to -the officers ot the Amalgamated Association in that district. One hour after the rumor reached Law renceville Secretary Lovejoy, of the Car negie Steel Company, was seen and ques tioned concerning the move. He said: "There will be no attempt to place men in the mills to-night General Manager Dil lon is not ready nor will hebe prepared lor two weeks or more to put the works in operation; therefore, it is not at all likely that workmen will be in the mills belore that time." ADVICE FE0M THE ALTAR. Father Bullion Scores Anarchy and Rev. Sujreests Arbitration. A new movement for the solution of the Homestead deadlock was inaugurated yes terday under impressive circumstances. The tragical occurrence in Pittsburg, with H. C Frick as the victim, was taken as the occasion for this latest departure. In the' presence of a gathering made up largely of striker and militiamen, it was proposed to make a fresh attempt at arbitration. The proposal came from a source bevond either party to the difficulty, and was put forward in a way so unusual as to command marked attention. Divipe service at the principal Catholic Church in Homestead was interrupted at the most solemn part while the pastor, Rev. Father Bullion, attired in his priestly vest ments who had turned from the brilliautly lighted altar anil faced the congre gation, began a denunciation of anarchy andthe attack upon Mr. Frick. Not a sound could be heard in the edifice except the earnest words from the sanctu ary, so wrapt were listeners in what was being said. The clergyman dwelt upon the pleasure afforded all good citizens by the fact that the imprisoned man was not from Homestead aud that his principles were not theirs. Ue declared that peaceable means were best for both sides, and the ones that should be employed, violence only tending to create and increase bitterness of feeling. He hoped to be able soon to say that the company had realized that it would be more benefited financially, which he assumed was the object in view, by an honorable arrangement with the old hands, rather than in scouring the country to fill their places. The strikers ere urged, in conclusion, to hold themselves in readiness ior an opening toward what was the only feasible means for a rightful settlement just to both sidesarbitration. 70VB. HdN-TJNIOK KEN LEAVE. Railroaders May Refuse to Handle the Carnegie Company's Product. The Advisory Committee of Homestead met at the Amalgamated headquarters at 8 o'clock last night After being in session three hours, the committee annqunced that four non-union men had left the steel works for good. They were all residents of Phila delphia, The committee thinks that 34 other men employed in the mill will come out to-dav. Authorized representatives of tne freight engineers, firemen, conductors and brake men of the Pennsylvania Railroad held a joint meeting with the -Advisory Commit tee. No decision was reached, but the committee thinks the railroaders may serve notice on the company that they will not handle any product of the Carnegie com pany. So Reception for Hugh O'Donnell. The friends of Hugh O'Donnell stated yesterday that there will be no attempt made to tender him a formal reception at Homestead if he is released to-day. USED A KNIFE. Poles Fight at a Chrlstenln: and Are Locked Up. Tnere was a lively Polish christening at the "Drover's Home" on Twenty-eighth street last night Frank Alstan, whose child was being christened, got into a quarrel with a guest named Michael Gitoniwink, blows were exchanged, a general fight ensued, and A'.stau drew a knife and slashed Gitoniwink over the forehead. Both men were arrested and taken to the Twelfth ward police station. Dr. Sadowski was called and dressed Gitoniwink's injury which proved to be nothing serious. Shortly afterward Small Pulaski walked into the station house and asked to see Alstan. He was refused and became so abusive that he was locked up. After being put in a cell he became so violent that it was found necessary to place the cuffs on him. Electrical Letter Stampers. The electrical stamping machines which are being introduced into many postoffices are confirming in an unmistakable way the well-known fact that very curious things go through the mails. If the contents of a letter happen to be of a soft and yielding nature, matters go smoothly enough, but if the inclosure is hard or tough, there is sure to be trouble. It is a case of either the machine or the inclosure coming to grief. If the inclosure is, for instance, of metal, the stamping apparatus is often thrown com pletely out of gear. The chances are that any light, breakable trinket after going through a stamping machine will be more or less injured. The remedy, however, is simple. The postoffice officials now warn the public that perishable merchandise should be inclosed in boxes. A Fl;ht With Death. A case has occurred in France which points to the importance of long and per sistent treatment of persons struck by light ning. Two young women were prostrated by a lightning flash during a violent storm. They were taken to the village doctor, who treated them continuously for two hours, when signs of returning life were seen, aud early the next morning the consciousness of both returned. One was soon well, but the other was lett with a profound sciatica. Her tongue was also paralyzed for two months, after which she also recovered. This is only one of many known instances where continuous attempts to restore respiration during several hours resulted in restitution of life. A "Word With a History. A word to which popular fancy always attracted by what is unusual and out of the way has attached a story, which though not baseless, is yet inconsistent with fact, is the term "cabal." The vulgar derivation which gives it as coming from a combina tion of the initials of the five statesmen who formed the Cabinet of 1671. Clifford, Arlington, Buckingham, Ashley and Lauderdale, seems ingenious enough to be true, were it not for the awkward fact that the term is really of Hebrew extraction, imported into the language and used a cen tury earlier than the date given above. Some. Trials With retrolenm. Some trials with solidified petroleum were made a few weeks ago at the works ot the Solidified Petroleum Corporation, at Hackney Wick, London, and they demon strated that a six-horse power tubular boiler containing 80 gallons of water could be heated by G2 pounds ot the Chenhall fuel, or solidified oil, and in 36 minutes steam raised to indicate 60 pounds to the inch, while it took 106 pounds of coal and wool to raise steam 60 pounds in one hour's time. Bed-Hot ramlly Fight. Samuel Hull and his wife, Elizabeth Hull, had a .terrific fight at their home on Arch street last night Household furni ture was used as weapons, and both were badly punished. Mrs. Hull was pushed on a hot stove and was badly burned about the arms and body and her husoand was cut about the head. Both were arrested and locked up in the Twelfth ward police sta tion. Kicked by a Horse. Peter Tenny, a 11-year-old boy, while leading a horse belonging to John Goherm ger around the vacant lot next the Chil dren's Hospitel, on Fifth avenue, yester day afternoon, was kicked in the forehead by the animal. He was taken into the Children's Hospital for attention, but it was found that he was not seriously hurt tfrnal Fate or a Peace-Maker Patrick Griffin and his wife Annie got into a fight at their home on Boston street yesterday afternoon, and he hit her over the head with a poker. C L. Lainman tried to take Mrs. Griffin's part All three were having a merry fight when Officer Rohan placed them under arrest and sent them to the Fourteenth ward police station. THE FIRS RECORD.

New York Police Are After Metropolitan Anarchists. the DETECTIVES AMONG THE BEDS. Gompers Vigorously Denounces the tempted Assassination. At- ALL LABOR LEADERS EXPRESS REGRET rSPECIAL TZLFGKAX TO THE DISPATCH.! New Fobk, July 2i It is the belief of the Detective Bureau of this city that Berkman was sent to Pittsburg to attack Mr. Frick. As soon as tbe details of the' shooting reached the Central office on Saturday, four detectives were sent ont to begin at once a strict watch among the Anarchists. 'This morning at least twice that number were sent out to aid them. All these detectives are old and experi enced men who have had dealings with the Anarchists before. Aside from them Act ing Superintendent Steers and Captain Mc Cullagh, who for many 'years presided over tbe Anarchist precinct, the Fourteenth, could not be found. It was learned to-day that the police have a picture of Berkman in their possession now and that they are in communication with the Pittsburg police. Last night the various rendezuous of Anarchists were watched by detectives. Sergeant Bird, who represents Acting Su perintendent Steers in the latter's absence from headquarters, said: "While there are many Anarchists in the city we cannot ar rest them until they have done something or until we have cause to think they were accomplices in some unlawful act Tbe trouble is that they plot and plan here in secret and then go elsewhere and do the work. Why, they won't even blaspheme in public here for fearof being arrested. They avoid as far as possible even the appearance ofeviL" The Foal Deed Planned In Maw York. "Bo you think tbat the attempt made by Berkman to kill Mr. Frick was planned in New York," was asked. "I think it was. It was too big & thing for a man of Berk man's caliber to conceive, plan and execute alone. The police of .New York will not stand any nonsense. The slightest move on the part of the Anarchists here will be met with prompt and sufficient action by us. I cannot answer you when you ask if any Anarchists will bo locked up by us. Time will tell what will happen. "Before I came on the police lorce in 1859," Sergcnt Bird mat on, "I was a mar ble cutter. 1 was a member of the first mechanics' association in this city, the Stone Cutters' Association. It was started SO years ago. But it was very different from most of the trades' unions of to-day. Our organization helped both the employer and employe. Every March our wages were advanced, and every November they were lowered. But we understood why it was done and we agated to it Or had we not agreed to it, we could have quit work and gone somewhere else. Our employers' property was his, not ours. We never thought of trying to control it or to injure it, and much less would we have taken his life or, what is as bad, rejoiced either pub licly or in secret at the efforts of others to take his life." Gompers Expresses His Reeret. Samuel Gompers, of the American Fed eration ot Labor, who would not speak on the subject on Saturday, said to-day: "I re gret the shooting very much. Such acts are calculated to throw discredit on organized labor, though I believe Berkman was an irresponsible Anarchist, with perhaps a mania for this kind of thing. Trades unions respect the law. They aim not to accom plish things by violence. All true trades unions are opposed to tbe spirit of anarchy." John Tasker, President of the Board of Walking Delegates, said: "I am sorry this has happened. I don't believe in that kind of business." Mortimer O'Connell, Becording Secretary of tbe Central .Labor Union, said: 'This man Berkman is a crank. I never knew him and don't want to know bim." The delegates to tbe Pittsburg convention, which is to assemble next Wednesday to establish an International Labor Bureau in this country, were to-day instructed by the Central Labor Union to agitate for a revival of the international movement upon a more practical basis than that abandoned by dis solving the International Workingmen's Association in 1874. More About the Murderer. Something more was learned to-day about Berkman's doings in this city. He lived here at times with a woman previously known as Emma Goldman. It is said that he met her first in Russia under peculiar circumstances, and that there is a long ro mantic story regarding their relations. By Anarchists generally Berkman was re garded as an Anarchist tramp. He was a member of a very radical group of An archists known as the "Pioneers of Liberty," who met at a little eating honse at 123 Division street The proprietor of tbe place said to-dav that he knew Berkman only slightly. Berkman had not been there since four or five months ago, and had then come in only two or three times. At that time he had a small dark mustache and wore a pincesez. A picture of Berkman was shown to tbe proprietor, but he failed to recognize it The shirt-making shop in which Berkman once worked was Zinimer man's,718 and 720 East Eleventh street No one to-day who knew Berkman would tell how he got to Pittsburg. cuppojed to Re Penniless. He wss supposed to be almost penniless. E A. Aronstamm, who owns the drugstore at 1904 Third avenue, is an uncle of a young man named Aronstamm, who is a friend of Berkman's. "I never saw Berkman," said the drug gist "It is ten months since I have seen my nephew, and I don't know where he has been ill that time. I believe he used to have a companion named Berkman who had peculiar ideas and went with Anarchists and such people, but I can tell you nothing about him." The headquarters of the International Group of Anarchists, at Wilzigs, 85 East Fourth street, was closed to-day. In fact, it was a bad day to find Anarchists on ac count of the objections entertained by the police to the sale of beer on Sunday in Anarchist resorts.

BIBMABCX WILL TALK. He Tells One Again How the Great Ger man Empire Was Forged. BEBLIN, July 24. An immense demon stration in honor of Prince Bismarck was held in Kissinger to-day. Special trains carried thousands to Kissinger from Co burg, Mannheim, Darmstadt, Heidelberg, Pforzheim and Carlsruhe. Beplying to an address presented to him, Prince Bismarck said the ovation was such as no minister ever before received, and he regarded it as a tribute to his work. Tbe endeavors made to bring about Ger man union in 1848, he said, were premature, and those made in 1866 had no lasting, re sult, while in 1870 all wielded hammers, striking in unison the anvil on which the empire was forged. United Germany was wrought out by French battalions. Friends, he added, had advised him to keep silent, but be wonld not allow his month to be closed. He concluded by joining in cheers for the Emperor,the Empire, the Reichstag and the Bundesrath. EMIH PASHA'S ILLHZSS. His Second in Command Describes It in i Latter From East Africa. BEBLIN-, July 24. Dr. Stuhlmann, Emin Pasha's second in command, writes to Dr. Schweinfurth from East Africa, denying that Emin Pasha invaded British territory or that he tried to recover the ivory he left at Wadelai, the rebels haying seized and carried it off. The fatigues of the marches, savs Dr. Stuhlmann. sapped Emin's health. His eyesight became worse until he could not read or write or see the way, and he continued to suffer from insomnia and from frequent hemorrhages from an old ear wound. Dr. Stuhlmann, who parted with Emin some distance west ot Victoria Nvanza. brings to the coast a rich scientific collec tion.
