f .THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. THITRSDAT. JULY 28. 1R92. furnishings of the interior. As the com missioner was about to enter, a voice from the sidewalk called him, and turning, he saw a well built woman carrying in her arms a baby ot perhaps six months. Two other children were beside her. She said she was Mrs. Finster, and when the reporter told her that her husband was under arrest, and asked her a qnestion about his views on anarchv. she said, in German, that she could not talk English. This did not stop the conversation, but the' woman answered all questions put to her with apparent frankness. She said her husband had been in Allegheny five years, and had yi orkcd steadily in various tanneries. The iuruislinient of the house showed thathe had well cared for his family. She denied positively that he was an Anarchist. She said he did not belong to auv societies, She was asked if she knew Mr. Bauer. She said he did not, and also said that she did not know August Pirnack, who was ar rested in company with her husband. The tiouian was asked if her husband took any anarchistic papers. She said that he did not except that she had once seen in the house, only a few days ago, a paper printed in JJew York which niiehtbe anarchistic. She was asked if her hnsband had any pictures of Spies or Parsons. In her naive way she asked who those gentle men were, and when she was told, made a most emphatic denial that she had ever heard of those unfortunate individuals or had ever seen their portraits. Quit Work rtrloro tke Assnmilmtlon. Pirnack had a room at No. 236 Sandusky street. That is the number of a grocery store kept by a young German, who rents a few rooms to lrfemls but does not furnish meals to them. The proprietor said he made the acquaintance of Pirnack when that gentleman came to America perhaps 14 months ago. "He is a baker by trade," the man said, "and struck me as being a nice fellow. I lost sight of him for several months and do not know where or how he lived in the mer.n-time. About two months ago I met him on the street. He told me he had got a place to work with a baker (F. A. Richards) on Palo Alto street, and wished toget a room somewhere in this part of the city. 1 said to him. 'August I have a room I will rent tovou.' So became to room here. He was very quiet. I never heard him talk anarchy or auything like it, and I don't think he has any anarchistic pictures in his room. T don't know whether he attended meetings on Sunday evenings, for he sometimes went away early in the day and I do not know what time he came home. "Yesterday whet the papers said that Henry Bauer had been arrested, he said he knew Bauer. He went an ay about 9 o'clock this morning, and I have not seen him since. I never heard him speak of a man named Fiustcr." At this point the landlord gave one of the most important pieces of information. He said: "Mr. Pirnack does not work for the baker on Palo Alto street. He told me last Saturday that he had quit the place the day before, but I do not know why." This resignation was tendered on the evening of the day before Mr. Frick was shot. The police last evening did not visit the homes of these two prisoners. SOLO HIS "WIFE CHEAP. An Er-A narcliist Tells a Strange Story of Two of th Prlsonrrs. The members, past and present, of An archist groups in Allegheny are beginning to feel uneasy over the recent arrests. Those who are still active members are re maining very quiet, and those who have dropped out ot the organizations are show ing a desire to "square themselves." Last evening Chief Murphy, of Alle gheny, was visited by a well appearing gen tleman who gave his name as Emil Clauert, employed by Wolt & Son, the wholesale liquor dealers. He said that he had, until about eight months ago, been secretary of group No. 2 of the Allegheny Anarchists.' There were at the time only 40 members in that group. He had become disgusted with some ot the actions ot members of the group, and had cut loose irom the hole matter. Mr. Clauert then gave to Chief Murphy a story representative of some of the ways ot the internationalists. He said that Bauer, the Anarchist leader, had tired of his wile, who had taken a lik ing for Carl Knold, the Cherry street man. The two men then made a deal, by which Knold paid Bauer $25, and the Spring Gar den man agreed to secure a divorce from his wile and relinquish her to Knold. The woman has lately been living at No. 5 Cherry street, and Clauert said he under stood that she had been divorced trom Bauer and was the wile of Knold. What Bauer did with the ?25 is problematical, but among his eflects was lound a receipt tor 525 irom Joseph Friedman, the attorney, whom Bauer employed to conduct the di vorce proceedings. rinkertons After the Anarchists. The police officials of the two cities are being assisted in their investigations ot the Anarchist plot by Pinkerton detectives, halt a dozen of whom are here working very quietly. Some of these men are Germans and look like horny-handed agitators. All of their information has not been given to the local police, but it is probable that they will furnish it all when the cases of the conspirators come to trial. Two of the Piukerton men now here were valuable workers in revealing the Anarchist plot which led to the Haymarket riot in 1885, and one ot them was a member of an Anarchist group for six months prior to that riot. O'DONNELL'S STATEMENT, He Denies the Stoiy 'ihat Was Printed Teslerday I oncernlnc Him He Did Not Ask the Newspaper Men to Act as Mediators for the SI en. Hugh O'Donnell yesterday placed a dif ferent construction upon the story 'pub lished yesterday morning. He says: On Monday afternoon I received a call at my residence in Homestead from two news paper correspondents who came to see me meiely asnenspaper men, and not in any other capacity, except perhaps that of friends who were glad to know of my release. The gentlemen asked me if I would not like to have a settlement of the difficulty. To this I replied I should like to see a settlement. I was then asked on what terms a settlement could be ad justed, and made leply jokingly. My words wore "Unconditional surrender," and thougn I did not lor a moment believe that any stress would he placed on an utterance that was merely a repetition ot a saying the newspapers, the public and people generally have uaed in tbe same Joking manner, I took ttio precaution to say to these corie sponacnts "Of course 1 don't mean it," and presumed that they liad taken my words as they should have been taken. This part of our conversation was apropos of the shooting of Mr. Flick, nnd lollon eu a strong condemnation by mo of Berkuian's deed. 1 said that 1 nas willing to do all in my power to snow the country how btronjily the Amal gamated Association condemned the terrible affair, but I did not say that on account of the bad Impression made by the shooting of Mr. Frick that he would recommend an "un conditional surrender," and that if the Ad viory Committee failed to agree with me in the views I would at once resign the chair manship. That is unqualifiedly false. Following my assertion that I should like to sec a settlement, the correspondents pro posed that later in the day, in view ot my woids, tney go up ana make rotter show bis hands, meaning, as I suppose, that they would induce Mr. Potter to talk for publica tion concerning concessions he would make to tbe Amalgamated Association toward set tling the wage 'question. I laughingly as sented to the suggestion as a good idea. I told Mr. Crawiord, the acting Chairman of the Advisory Committee, about the matter, and gave no serious thought to what the two correspondents hope to accomplish. Taking Care of Hie Sick. The workmen who are taken sick within the board fence at Homestead have, a doctor on the ground who attends to their wants. The Master .Mechanic's office has been turned into a pharmacy, with a complete line of drugs and medicines. Dr. "Weible hat charge of the medical department and the sanitation of the works. ARRESTED FOR RIOT, Thirty-SixMore Warrants Are Issued for the home stead Workers. ONE FOR JOHN JTLUCKIE. Six of Them Picked Up, and They Each Furnish $2,000 Bail. O'DONNELL'S NAME WAS ERASED. Interest Stopped on the Deposits of the Men Still Cut. LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SITUATION Yesterday 36 more informations were made against the Homestead locked-ont men and a number of Homestead citizens. As usual they were made before Alderman Mo nasters and Secretary F. T. F. Lovejoy was the proseoutor. The charge was aggravated riot aud the penalty for this is three years' poenal servitude and a fine of $2,000. The bail for this time has been fixed at $2,000. This does not mean that there js an end ot the murder cases, but is only a little variety thrown in. There were a number of informations made for murder which have not been made public and there are many more prepared that will be entered as soon as more of tbe marked men are placed behind the bars. Yesterday morning Sylvester Crltcblow, one of the first seven charged with murder, surprised everybody by appearing at Alder man JicMaster's office and giviug himself up. He was at once committed to jail. A New Charge Against Him. He hnd only been there a short time when Secretary Iiovejoy made his new informa tions, and among them was found one for Critchlo w and a commitment for aggravated riot was lodged against him. Another one was found to fit James Close, who had been arrested on Tuesday for murder, and a similar commitment was lodged against him. Both will apply tor bail this morn ing. The informations on the -charge of aggra vated riot review the scenes of the famous fight on July 6. On the list of one was the name of Hugh O'Donnell, but a pen had been drawn through his name. In the list there are also warrants for Burgess Mc Luckie, Hugh Boss and others. The announcement of the new informa tions in Homestead spread more terror among the frightened locked-out men. Con stable Morris appeared there with a big batch of warrants. In a short time Matthew Foy and Peter Allen who had before been arrested on a charge of murder were picked up again on the new charge. C TV. Mansfield, P. J. Kau and Thomas Connolly were also arrested. Barges AIcLnckle Was Mot Around. An attempt was made to fi?d Burgess McLuckie but he could not be found. The prisoners were all marched to the guard tent in Camp Sam Black and held there until 7 o'clock. Then a squad of sol diers escorted them to the City Farm rail way station. A crowd of four or five hun dred men and boys were on the platform, and for a time it looked as though there would be a collision betwen the military and the civilians, but the opportune arrival of . another squad of militia' prevented aDy scene. The prisoners were placed on the 7 o'clock tram for Pittsburg. They were cheered as the train started on its way. They were brought before Alder man McMasters, where each was compelled to give bond in the sum of $2,000. John Bnoh and Jacob Trautman were the se curity. Then they all returned to Home stead. Captain O. C Coon, who was one of .the witnesses before the Coroner on Tuesday, learned that one of the warrants was lor him. He did not wait for the constable to notify him, but hurried to Pittsburg and gave bond. All waived a hearing and are to appear at the September term ot court. EEFUSE TO PAY INTEREST. Iiocked-Ont Homestead Men Are Notified to Draw Out Their Deposits. Another evidence of how far the company is prepared to push matters at Homestead was shown yesterday in the announcement that no more interest would be paid on the deposits of the workingmen. Here tofore the company has accepted the savings of its workmen on de posit anjl has paid 6 per cent interest. This agreement was to cease as soon as the men left the employ of the company. The amount held on deposit now amounts to $180,000. Pursuant to this policy the follow ing notice was sent out to the locked-out men yesterday: Deak Sib As provided in the agreement the special deposit of money made oy you with Carnegie, Phipps & Co., Limited, you are now hereby notified that having lett the employ of this company you aro no longer entitled to receive interest on said deposit. Interest ceases at this date, and the prin cipal will be paid you on demand at the general offices, or on one day's written notice sent in from the works. By order of the Board ot Managers, Tbe Carkkqie Steel Company, Lin., H. C. FniCK, Chairman. ITS EFFECT UPON TEAD E A Banker Talks on the Homestead Strike and the Money Market. A prominent bank president of the city, in earnest conversation yesterday with a reporter, said: "The Htmcstead strike is having a very material effect upon the busi ness of the country. Every line of trade seems to be depressed and there is not much investing going on. Our banks here have not had so much money on hand for a long time. A man could now raise $5,000,000 in 21 hours in Pittsburg without any trouble. Philadelphia bankers are wanting to send money here to be loaned out at 3 to 4 per cent, for there is no market for it on East. Yes, we have plenty of money but no borrowers." CAENEGIB NOT SO POPULAR. Tho People or England Think He Has Done 1 rone;. Councilman J. J. McGuire, who returned from England yesterday, says that the peas antry and aristocracy of Europe alike unite in denouncing Andrew Carnegie for his ap parently unconcerned attitude toward the Homestead trouble. They think he should have come to Americans soon as the trouble began. Mr. McGuire also says the people of Europe believe protection a good thing, but there should be a provision- that would affect the wage-earners and manufacturers alike. ABBANGEMENTS AT HUHHALL, Superintendent Fatter ay They Will Soon Be Able to Accommodate 1,400 Men. Superintendent Potter, in speaking of the arrangements being made by the company for the accommodation of their workmen, said: "We have now erected four sleeping apartments each having bunks enough to hold 200 people. We have two dining rooms now, and dining room No. 3 will be completed to-day. This will be used ex clusively by the men employed in the plate mill and open hearth furnace. We have building and near completion three other sleeping houses of the same capacity as the ones mentioned before. When these are all completed we will have bunks for 1,400 men, not to mention the large consignment ot tents we have ordered and the numerous, cots. scattered all about the mill." " O'DONNELL DID NOT ATTEND. Thought to Have Gone East to Conclude His Original MIssIod. A meeting of the Advisory Committee was held last night at which about 15 mem bers were present. The meeting was called to take action in the O'Donnell case, but neither the Chairman nor Vice Chairman Crawford were present. Several corre spondents interested in tbe attempt to bring about a conference with General Superintendent Potter, who had been asked to be present, were informed that their testimony was not needed. At the conclu sion of the meeting it was stated that only routine business had been taken up, and no action had been necessarv in the opinion of the committee on tbe O'Donnell case. It was learned that the reported utterances of Mr. O'Donnell in favor of a settlement had been taken up and discussed. A few mal contents were in favor of some sort of cen sure, but the majority were inclined to allow the matter to drop. Mr. O'Donnell was not at his home last evening, nor was he seen around Home stead, which gives rise to the impression that he may have departed on his Eastern mission. Acting Chairman Jack Crawford and Secretary McConeghey returned to Homestead from Pittsburg late last night. Mr. Crawford said O'Donnell was still Chairman of the Advisory Committee. MEMPHIS WANTS IT. The Carnecle Company Ts Asked to Move Its riant There. H. C Frick has received a letter from the Young Men's Business League, of Mem phis, inviting the company to remove its plant to that place. The letter says that it has been learned that the Carnegie Com pany is thinking ot removingtits plant from here and has Chicago in mind as a Erobable location. It suggests that Chicaqo as a more bold and dangerous Anarchistic element than Pittsburg, and such a move would not be good business policy. The advantages of Memphis are then set forth, and it is urged that only one labor trouble has ever occurred there; and that that one was not on account of wages, but convict labor. The letter closes by stating that the sentiment there is against such uprisings, and that the population is free of that vicious element that causes so much trouble in the North. On this subject Mr. Lovejoy said: "The Memphis letter was the most urgent one of many we have received from various sec tions of the country. I do not know how the rumor that we intended to remove our plant was started. We have no intention of removing our plant from-here. We have seen no petition asking for the establish ment of a conference court as provided for by act of 1883, and .would not sign it anyway. We have announced our ultima tum, and there will be no deviation from our previously outlined policy. No arbi tration, no conferences, nothing but what we have stated. We will never take back some of the men who participated in the riot," NON-UNIONISTS AT HOMESTEAD. Three of Them Leave tho Plant and Come to the City. It was 10 o'clock yesterday morning be fore the Tide began her usual trip to Home stead. Besides the 20 passengers there were a number of cars , wheelbarrows and shovels put on board. The boat made her trip in safety. Secretary Lovejoy says that there are now upward of 600 men at work in the Homestead plant Ho says they are turn ing out good material and the prodnct is very satisfactory to the firm. Vice PresU dent ehea, ot tbe Amalgamated Associa--tion, however, says there is practically no work being done at the Homestead works. There were seven armor plates turned out there one day last week, and five of them had to be cut up. Many of the men at Homestead are be coming dissatisfied and want to leave the works. 5Testerday Joseph Myers, William Gerserio and Jacob Winelyer made their escape from the plant and came to this city. They applied at the Department of Chari ties and wanted to be sent back to New York, but they were informed by Chief Elliot that he could do nothing for them. The Amalgamated Association will take charge of them. FEEDING THE WOBKHEN. The Men Have Good Appetites and Are Well Fed. John A. Baybruu, who has charge of the commisssary department inside the Home stead mills, has had a great deal of experi ence in feeding large crowds of people. He fed thousands of people daily for Peter Wright & Son, of Philadelphia, during the longshoremen's strike, and at the soldiers' reunion at Columbus, O., in 1888 he had accommodations so arranged that he could seat and feed 1,200 people without chang ing a plate. In conversation with a Dispatch re porter yesterday Mr. Bayburn said: "We have just led 750 men to-day, and to do this you must know that it requires no little work. We have eight cooks now working with three more held in reserve. The food served is first-class. Of course it is not the finest that can be bought, but it is away above the average quality of food served to workingmen. To-day we had roast beef, three vegetables and coffee for dinner. I have never in all my experience met with a set of men who could eat as heartily as the men here do. We consumed 360 pounds of roast beef to-day. There is some little sick ness among the men, which can be accounted for in the change of drinking water." DO NOT BELIEVS IT. Union Mills Workmen Have No Faith In tbe Explosion Story. The Press Committee appointed by the Union Mills workmen yesterday had no ex planation to offer concerning the attempt to blow up the engine and boiler depart ments in the lower mill on Monday last. They -are inclined to believe that the escape 'of gas was caused by the carelessness of one of the non-union workmen or else the story was concocted by some of the bosses to ex cite sympathy. It was reported at headquarters last even ing that the gas producers had at last been lighted and this action on the part of the firm looked as it they would attempt to in troduce some more non-union men. Inquiry at the Thirty-third street mill revealed that the gas producers had not been lighted, but that several men were engaged in cleaning them out. v NO TE0UBLE AT BBADD0CK. Iha Transportation Department Men Ob tain Satisfactory Terms. A committee from the transportation de partment of the. Edgar Thomson Steel Works at Braddock held a conference with Manager Schwab yesterday afternoon. The men asked tor an increase of 10 per cent A satisfactory arrangement was made be tween the men and the management, and this agreement was confirmed at a meeting ot tbe men held last evening. Making Armor Plate Night and Day. v W. K. Corry, superintendent of the,, armor plate machine shop of the Home stead mills, was seen yesterday by a Dis patch reporter and in answer to an in quiry as to how his department was getting along, said: "I have now in my department 43 men, or three more than we generally have. They are all skilled in the positions they are in, and are doing the work as nicely as could be wished. We start on double time to-night This would haye been done some days ago, but we did not wish to disturb the cots which were placed around the shop." SHANNON AT JOHNSTOWN. His Mission Crowned Wltb Success Work mun There Will Keep Away From Homestead Hungarians Hired, by Agents Repudiate Their Agreement and Drive Their "Employers Ont of Town. JohnstoWn, July 27. SpectdL D. H. Shannon, of the Homestead Advisory Com mittee, who has been in 'this city for the past ten days, returned to-night During his stay here he has taken occasion to meet all the foremen of the Cambria and John son works, as well as many of the skilled workmen. "With scarcely an exception he has received words of enconragement trom all of them. It was positively learned that many of the men have been approached by agents of the Carnegies, offering them big pay if they would go to Homestead, but in everv in stance tney refused. Mr. Shannon s busi ness here was largely to see that the men here would not interfere in the fight at Homestead, and the results of his observations were more than gratifying to him. While the men said that their condition here was such uuii, u.ev cuum not join an organization. - - - t s they would give their fellow-workmen at Homestead support anyhow. Not one of them will take the place of a locked-out man, but instead they express a desire to contribute to the support of those who are out For several days pait two strangers have been about the city, hiring laborers presumably to work on a railroad near Pittsburg. They worked principally among the more intelligent Hungarians, and it was noticed that they expressed preference for those who have worked in mills. They had obtained about 30 men, to many of whom they had paid money to cover their expenses to their sup posed destination. They were to leave with the men this morning, but last night the strangers were identified as belonging to Homestead. One of the leaders among the men explained the situation, when it was unanimously agreed to repudiate their agreement Instead, a committee was appointed from the most intelligent Hungarians, who waited upon tbe strangers and told them to get out of town. As they did hot start at once 100 Hungarians started out for them, threatening to string them to the first lamp post To save themselves the straneers drove hurriedly away to Morrellville, where they boarded the train and left for good. HELD UP BY A NILES MOB. Amalgamated Men Defeat the Efforts of an Employment Agent In Tlinlr Town. WAKREN, O., July 27. Special The iron town of Kiles, five miles from here, is to have a labor demonstration Saturday. The idle men last night anticipated the meeting and showed sympathy with their Homestead brethren by defeating the pur pose of a man who had, by promise of big wages, secured a considerable party of local workmen to take employment at the Car negie works. The laborers were to leave on a midnight train over the Pennsylvania Railroad, but Amalgamated men heard of the move and dissuaded all ot them. Streets were patrolled by several hundred excited men, looking for the person who caused the trouble, and all strangers were held up for an accounting. Two commer cial men failed to give satisfactory state ments and were detained till vouched for. The man for whom they were looking was finally met at tbe depot He was marched to a hotel and searched, which resulted in the finding of forwarding checks from Pitts burg to the Carnegie plant at Homestead. He took the matter coolly, denying the charge that he was securing' men to sup plant the locked-ont men. Satisfied with its work, the crowd then dispersed and the man this morning drove to Youngstown. FAVOR A COMPROMISE. Rev. S. W. BlcCorltlo Makes a Plea for the Adjustment of the Homestead Diffi culties Mr. Carnegie Should Be Held to His Own Theories. Eev. S. W. McCorkle, of the Frst Con gregational Church, Allegheny, thinks it is high time to bring the troubles between the Carnegie Steel Company and its workmen to a happy and satisfactory close. He said yesterday. I do not know what the motive was in the case of Mr. Madura, of New York, and Mr. Moore, of Philadelphia, in attempting to secure a conference between the mill men ot Homestead, and the Carnegio Steel Com pany as given in detail in yesterday morn ing's DisrATCH. Doubtless, the attempt was well meant, and itmmt be a matter of pro found regret that a movement looking in that direction should come to so little, though attempted by outside parties. There are many reasons why attempts of this kind should be repeated until they are suc cessful. The enlightened Christian sentiment of the civilized world demands it. Nothing short of a peaceful and itlsfactory solution of these serious problems, which touch our national and social life at so many vital Soints, will be accepted as at all adeguate y the enlightened conscience of the time. The workingman nnd the capitalist belong to the same- church, hear and receive the same Christian teaching, worship the same God and are bound to the same Judgment. Now do we intend to give the lie to all the professions of the past and say that religion is an impractical thing? That its obliga tions have no weight in this work-a-day world? That it presents no solution for the real problems of life? Have the Ten Com mandments and the Golden Rule no place in our industrial life? If both parties to the controversy earnestly desired to find the right way out of the difficulty, and to that end would taco as authoritative the teachings of Jesus Christ, in whom we all believe, every wheel In our idle mills would be at full speed beforo the week is ended. Let us be Christians in something more than name. The mutual interest of thousands of per sons in material things demands) an early adjustment of the differences existing. Im portant property interests are at stake. For the preservation of the small wealth of the workmen, as well as the great capital of the proprietors, tbe thoughtful care and in terest or all is demanded. Neither side can afford longer to be anything less than gen erous. Determination and pugnacity have their place doubtless in the concerns of this lite, but conciliation is the golden word now. Our civilization stands aghast at the pro longed light and In the name of everything that is right demands conciliatory spirit Have not the people of this country the right to hold Mr. Carnegie to his own theo ries, put Into permanent form, and pub lished broadcast in the leading magazines of this country? In many respects he stands at tho head ol'the great manufacturing indus tries of the United States, having gotten his wealth and his name through that means. Why should there not bo a fair tost now in this supreme emergency of Mr. Carnegie's wise and brotherly.principles, as published, giving tbe results of long and varied experi ence? et ns have an early adjustment of our troubles through triondly conference and arbitration and permit the National Guards of Pennsylvania to return home. Admitted Into the Association. A mass meeting was held at Duquesne yesterday afternoon, at which W. A. Car ney, First Vice President of the Amalga mated Association, was present and made an address. All operatives, including day laborers, were admitted to membership into the association, and the plant is now more thoroughly organized than any mill in "Western Pennsylvania.

Lieutenant Colonel Streator is a member of the Eandall Club, of this city, and it caused something of a sensation yesterday when it became known that some members of that club would make charges against him with the intention of having him expelled irom-the club. Attorneys C G Dickey, Frank.P. lams, S. U. Trent and J. D. Watson yesterday held a conference, lasting two honrs, over the question of the legality of the punish ment of Private lams on lost Saturday. An attorney stated after the meeting that they had carefully eramined the laws of Penn sylvania, both civil and military, and found no place where the laws upheld Colonel Streator. He also said they would not make any attack on Streator's military po sition, but would bring suit for damages and aggravated assault and battery. After the conference the attorneys wired Colonel Freer, of the West Virginia Na tional Guard, who Is an uncle of Private lams, to come on to this city to assist in the proceedings. Colonel Freer is one of the most prominent criminal Iawyears in West Virginia. THE GTJABD3 DOUBLED. A Sensational Story Prompts Extra Care on the Part or tbe Military. A sensation was created in Camp Sam Black just after noon yesterday by a Pitts burg woman hurrying into camp and reporting a conversation she had heard while on a train coming to Swissvale. The woman said that two men resembling mill workers had within her hearing talked of a barrel of dynamite in sticks which they had in hiding near the encampment which had just been abandoned by the Fourteenth Kegiinent She said the men talked of blowing up the Little Dill, the boat used by the militia to' cross the river between the two encampments. The woman left with Colonel Hawkins her name aud address. Her story was at once signaled to division headquarters. - Captain Laird, of I Company, Tenth Regiment, who was officer ot the day, was detailed to investigate the woman's story. "With a squad of soldiers he thoroughly searched the woods surrounding the emi nence upon which the Fourteenth Regiment had been encamped, but he was unable to find any trace of dynamite or anything else that appeared suspicious. Alter Captain Laim's report had been made to Colonel Hawkins, it was forwarded to division headquarters. A general order was then issued doubling the guards for last night and each sentry was instructed to be especially diligent in watching and promptly reporting anyone found near the military lines after nightfall. AXL1NE WAS QTJASDED. The Ex-Adjutant General of Ohio Thinks Streator Went Too Far. H. A. Axline, of Columbus, who was Governor Foraker's Adjutant General,rezis tered at the Monongahela House yesterday. He was accompanied by James A. McGeagh, of Minneapolis. The General said they were here on private business and stopped over for a few hours. He was very much interested in the camp at Homestead, and was sorry he didn't have time to go there. He asked about the pun ishment of young lams, and remarked that Colonel Streator had evidently gone too far. However, he did not want to condemn until he had heard what was back of it He said it was customary in the late war to hang np men by the thumbs, but the feet rested on the grourid. He was surprised that lams was raised on his toes. , A KANSAS MAN'S OPINION. He Charges Colonel Streator With Brutality in (he Jams Case. . Bierer, an attorney at Hiawatha, Kan., yesterday wrote The Dispatch concerning the lams case. He says: As an old Pennsylvania citizen and soldier I want to say that the tleinz up and sus pending by bis thumbs for half an hour ot Private lams, of Company K, Tenth Regi ment, Pennsylvania National Guard, on the 23d inst. by Colonel Streator, as reported In the press dispatches, was an act of brutality, which should not go unrebuked.

He is very in dignant over the treatment of lams by Col onel Streater, and he says no matter what his offense had been the Colonel had no right to torture him. "Surely," . continued Mr. Humphrey, "Governor Pattison does not intend to allow such brutality to pass unnoticed. If he does it will be a blot on the reputation of the State. Nobody justifies the conduct of lams, but let it not be said that modern civilization indorses the cruelty practiced in the middle ages. Unless the action of Streator is strongly condemned ,it will be difficult to maintain qf military organization in Pennsylvania." Wllkesbarre Wants Action on Streator. Wilkesbaeee, July 2T. A petition ot. great length, signed by many of the best people in this' city and the Wyoming Val ley, will be sent from here to Governor Pattisou to-morrow, asking that Colonel Streator, who caused Private lams to be strung up by the thumbs, be tried for a breach of the peace. It further asks that he be given a trial such as any other criminal would receive, and if found' guilty be punished. Private Lester's Case Postponed.

The Fourth Regiment is probably the most complete military or ganization in the Xational Guard. " It is composed of German Turners and athletes, and its everv movement is liUe that ot a well-regulated machine. The command had been drawn up at attention. The sun, de clining into mellow clouds, was gilding the eastern sky and was throwing pretty reflec tions upon the shining arms of the well trained soldiers. Colonel Case and his staff had turned, and at a present was saluting the reviewing officers when a rain bow, distinct as a picture, Unshed over the regiment aud hung like a halo over their heads. For the time the whole sky cleared. Colonel Hawkins, dignified and like a mil itary giant, stood out 20 paces from ail the rest Next to him Colonel Case stood with his stall about him, and before them dll the regiment . Their arms were glisten ing and they looked more like a painting than like a body of living soldiers. Withal it was an inspiring sight, and every soldier on review seemed to realize that he was part ot the picture that was delighting the spectators. "That was the prettiest picture I ever saw," Colonel Hawkins said alter the regi ment had been dismissed. QUITTING THE CAMP. Two Iteglments Lave Yesterday, and Others to Go To-Day.
