glance at tlie man. The crowd, however, -was
very orderly one, si there was no outburst
or outcry of any kind. At the jail en
trance, wnen tne crowd was micKest, a re
porter who had accompanied the party re
marked to the prisoner, 'Tou aeem to be
quite an attraction," and to which he
laughingly responded "Yes."
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.

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.

He is a slender youth, shabbily dressed,

Agent E. A. Ford, of the Pennsylvania

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

SoaUlng Salt ATnckrel to Deceive Their
. 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

that Emin Pasha invaded British territory

His eyesight became worse until he could

Viexita, July 24. Some of the news
papers of this city publish a telegram re
porting that the tower of the Munaier
mosque in Alexandria, which was recently

persons were killed, and that the bodies of
the victims were being extricated hourly

The source of the telegram is uncertain,
and as no confirmation has been received
the report is believed to be untrue.
