Magistrate Succop last evening and given a
hearing lor naving enticed irom ner nome
Miss Maggie Kramer, of Greensboro, Greene
county. The charge was preferred by
Agent McDonald, of the anti-Cruelty So
ciety. Miss Kramer testified that she first met
Durr about three months ago at Swan's Hotel,
in Greensboro. Durr was boarding there at
the time, and two weeks afterward came to
Pittsburg. They corresponded meanwhile,
and in one of his letters, he asked her to
accompany him to Chicago, where they
would be married. About three weeks ago
ne returned to her home. He went to
'squire Black and secured a marriage cer

c-remony and so imposed upon the girl
that she believed they were married. Shortly
afterward they went to visit her grand
- T?tjat.losedale. They remained there
two weeks, spying that they had been mar
ried. All this time, he claimed he had
plenty of money ancTwas well able to take

Pittsburg with him. He further said that
if she did not want to live here they would
go to Chicago. She refused and returned to
her home, while he came to this city.
Last Saturday Durr went to Greensboro
and together they came to Pittsburg. When
they arrived.he told her he had no money and
Jnrther stated that if she had any relatives,
she should go to them, as he could not keep
her. She went to the home of Grant Davis,
her uncle, who, on learning the facts of the
case, had Durr arrested last Monday.
In reply Durr stated that while he met
her at the time stated, she told him a piti

parents, and if she could not get away
would commit suicide. He took pity on
her and returned to marry her. He admit
ted having secured the marriage certificate
and of having filled it out himself.
Durr was held for court and in default
of $1,000 bail was committed to jail.
THE PEOPLE'S PARTY
To Be Organized In Allegheny County To
Day The lenders Very Sanguine of
Sinking a Good Showing at the Novem
ber lHectlon A Broad Platform.
The People's party will organize the cam
paign in Allegheny county to-day. A pre-
liminary meeting was held last night by
some of the leaders at the Home Hotel, at
which C A. Burrows, Thomas J. Eoney
and other prominent members of the party
were present. The situation was thorough
ly discussed and a plan of campaign formu
lated to be presented to the county conven
tion, which will be held this afternoon in
Curry University Hall, at Sixth street and
Penn avenue.
It is the purpose of those who have is
sued the call for the convention to put in
the field a People's party ticket, which will
include all county officers, candidates for
Assembly, State Senate and Congress. The
leaders say they purpose to make a vigor
ous canvas and to poll the largest vote ever
polled by a third party. The People's
party is a collection of nearly all the dis
satisfied elements. They expect to absorb
the Alliance, Bellamy's Nationalist party
and all other isolated parties throughout
the country.
"We expect to carry several States," said
one of the most enthusiastic members of the
committee. "By indorsing free silver we
shall get all the free silver Democrats and
free silver Republicans. "We are eminently
a labor party. AVe do not exactly agree
with the Socialists, but we do hold this true
that wealth belongs to him who creates it,
and every dollar taken without an equiva
lent is robbery. AVe believe the Govern
ment should own the railroads, telegraph
lines, etc AVe believe in a graduated in
come tax and the establishing of sayings
banks by the Government."
A Cool bnt Tain Attempt at Suicide.
Charlotte Deculso coolly threw herself
into the Allegheny river at 10 o'clock yes

tion, but refused to tell why she wished to
commit the rash act.

A GLOOMY DAY AT CAMP SAM BLACK
The attorneys interested in the lams case
met at the office of F. P, lams, Diamond
street, yesterdav afternoon to consider the
proposed prosecutions of those -who par
ticipated in the punishment of young lams
at Camp Sam Black. The attorneys pres
ent were C C Dickey, F. P. lams, John
D. AVatson and & U. Trent They had
expected Colonel Freer, an uncle of lams,
who is a prominent member of the AVest
Virginia State guards and thoroughly con
versant with military law, to be with them.
Colonel Freer did not arrive.
After the meeting John D. AVatson, one
of the attorneys in the case, in conversation
with a Dispatch reporter, said : "We de
cided at our meeting to make out informa
tions against Colonel Hawkins and Lieu
tenant Colonel Streator for aggravated as
sault and battery covering the charge that
on the 23d of July lams was unlawfully and
maliciously strung np by the thumbs. An
other set of informations will also be made
against these two gentlemen for simple as
sault and battery covering the acts done on
July 24, when the half of young lams' head
and face was shaved. The civil actions can
not be brought at present, for, according to
the military code ot the State, which, by
the way, is one of the most loosely and
carelessly drawn acts in the book, no
process of law can be served on a member
of the militia while in service or until 50
days have elapsed after his discharge from
duty.
It ill Sue In the United States Court.
The civil suits will constitute actions for
trespass and' damages. These suits will
more than likely be brought in the United
States Court, as lams is a minor, being but
18 years of age and his father resides in
West Virginia.
"There will probably be two suits, one on
behalf of the boy through his father as his
nearest friend and the father will enter suit
for himself for the abuse of his son. These
suits will be brought against General
Snowden, Colonel Hawkins and Lieu
tenant Colonel Streator. There is
also a conspiracy charge under ad vis ement.
This will be entered under the laws of the
Commonwealth for conspiracy to libel and
defame the character of young lams. If
this is entered it will be against General
Snowden, Colonel Hawkins and Lieutenant
Colonel Streator. The charges are to be
based upon the official report filed with
General Snowden relating the incidents of
the thumb hanging, .which General Snow
den indorsed, saying 'Discharge him in dis
grace, drum him out ot camp and send him
home.
"According to the military code of the
State General Snowden's order after the
first two words was unlawful. He had no
authority given him to say more than 'Dis
charge him.' lams was certainly brought
into public ridicule and disgrace by the
actions of these officers, and that is why we
propose to bring this action.
H alting for the Official Records.
"There is one thing which makes us hold
ofi for the time being, however. The offi
cial records of the Tenth Regiment will con
tain a full report of the proceeding, and we
want these for our evidence. Being in the
hands of our enemies, so to speak, we ap
prehend some difficulty in obtaining access
to the records which are now held by the
Adjutant of the Tenth Regiment and also
filed at Harrisburg.
"Another phase of this question which
has not attracted attention is the fact that
the law makes all those who took any part
whatever in the punishment of lams party
defendants equally with the others. An
unlawful order from a superior officer is no
excuse for an unlawful act. AVe are not
after these parties, however. It is the
officers in charge who ought to have known
the laws well enough to know how far they
could go without overstepping the bounds
of their authority. In support of the xtand
we have taken "we have received letters
from some of the most eminent lawyers of
AVashington City as well as from the Judge
Advocate General of the United States
Army, who gave his opinion that the bang
ing by the thumbs was an atrocity and un
supported by military laws.
A Chance to Dodge Creditors.
"To illustrate how loosely the military
code is drawn up I will refer you to the
clause in reference to the serving of lesal
processes upon members of the National
Guard. It says in substance that no legal
process can be served upon a member of the
militia while enlisted in service or until 30
days have elapsed after his discharge. Why,
if the clause was taken literally as it reads it
would only be necessary for a man wishing
to escape from his creditors to join the Na
tional Guard, when he would have
a safe refuge lor all time to come.
The clause by which officers of the
militia get their authority for the
administering ot punishment expressly
states that the law" of the United States
army shall be followed as closely as prac
ticable. It would naturally be supposed
that a man's being a citizen and not a regu
lar soldier would be an argument lor the
ameliorating of the punishment rather than
increasing it. AVe do not care to give out
when these informations will be made, suf
fice to say that some will be made to-morrow
morning."

Mayor lambing Says the Militia Would
Soon Become Veterans Under Fire.
Mayor Lambing, of Corry, went to Home
stead yesterday to visit Company A of the
Fifteenth regiment. The boys come from
his town, and the genial Mayor took enough
cigars along to go around. He said the
troopers were very anxious to get away,
and they are waiting patiently for the order
to leave town. In his opinion the militia
will be kept at Homestead all summer.
The Mayor was much pleased with the
athletic young fellows seen in camp. He
remarkedo Colonel Hulings that one fight
would make full-fledged soldiers out of
them. A gentleman who heard the con
versation took exception, and said there are
many who believe that the present gener

"I don't believe it," responded Mavor
Lambing, with some feeling. "The soldiers
of 18G0 were made of the same material
It cannot be said of the
joung men of America that they
are cowardly. They have the military
spirit drilled into them by their fathers, the
majority of whom fought in the late war.
The boys are made of the same determined
stuff. A half hour under fire would make
veterans out of these youngsters, and the
next day tney would go into Dattle cheer-
fully if it was necessary. In xnj experience
the
in the late war I only saw one man that I
thought was ' absolutely ' fearless. He
always stood up when the rest of us
were under cover. His conduct
"was yery reckless, and he never seemed to
think of the danger around him. The man
is a fool who doesn't try to protect his life
in a fieht. I hear the old-timers tell some
great tales of their bravery during the Re
bellion, when I know they often sought
shelter behind a stump while on picket
duty, and then thought their bodies were
as big as barrels. This was not cowardice,
but pood sense. We wanted living soldiers,
not dead ones."
VERY WET AND GLOOMY.
Camp Sam Black Was a DIsagreeaDte Place

session of a Favorable Position Captain
Munson's Bard Lock.
Camp Sam Black was probably the
gloomiest place in the State yesterday. The
sending home pf more than half the troops
left those remaining in an uncomfortable
state of despondency, and to make
their distress complete a dreary
rain, sometimes furious and again
a drizzling, uncertain spattering, kept fall
ing most of the day and kept the soldiers
miserable for the entire time. Those who
were on duty as guards seemed to be little
if any less annoyed than those who were on
account of the elements forced to remain in
their little tents, where a breath of air
could only be secured with difliulty.
A detail of Colonel Hawkins' provisional
battalion last night took charge of the emi
nence on the Swissvale side of the fiver,
where the Fourteenth Regiment had been
encamped. Yesterday Captain Hunt, of the
battery, overheard several suspicious look
ing men talking of going to the hill in
question and shooting into the Homestead
works. Captain Hunt renprted what he had
heard at brigade headquarters, and an order
was promptly issued requfrinc the soldiers
to assume charge of the hill. A squad pf 20
men in heavy marching order assumed
charge of it without interference. The po
sition will be held by the soldiers while they
are on duty at Homestead.
Brigadier General AViley, who is in com
mand of the troops, did not return from his
Franklin home yesterday. He is expected
to arrive in camp this morning with his
business so arranged that he can remain
with his command until all are ordered
away.
Captain Munson, of D Company, Tenth
Regiment, has experienced more hard luck
during the encampment probably than any
other officer in the field. His company was
lust recently organized and their uniforms
had not reached them when they were or
dered to Homestead. When the "uni
forms finally arrived the other
day they came addressed to Captain
Munson. They came collect on delivery
and the price fixed was $300. Captain
Munson did not have that amount of money
with him. None of his friends could
help him out at the time. The Captain
wrote a check for the amount and hurried
to the express office to secure the release of
his uniforms. Ha tendered his check,
which by the way was as good as gold,
but the express man refused to accept
it. General Snowden just a day
or two previous had ordered that no officer
should be allowed to leave the camp. Two
days were consumed by the Captain in ar
ranging to get to Pittsburg to have his
check cashed. He finally got the money
and uniforms. Yesterday leggins for the
Captain's company arrived by express, with
fou cuarges. .Again tne captain nau to
send to Pittsburg to have his check cashed,
and he will get the leggins to-day.
DIED DUBIH0 TEE WALE.
A Baby Expires While Being; Carried
Three Miles to a Doctor.
It was a long and sad walk which John
A. Gessner and his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Woods, took from Woods' Run to the Center
of Allegheny, after midnight between
Thursday and Friday. They carried with
them a dying baby, and before reaching
their destination the little one breathed its
last in the man's arms.
Mrs. AVoods lives in Cambria county not
far from Johnstown. About a week ago she
came to AVoods' Run with her 6-months-old
son, tojrisit her sister, Mrs. Gessner, at'X'o.
1GG McClure avenue. Mr. Gessner is a
painter. The child a few days ago fell ill
with cholera infantum, and a doctor who
lives in AVoods" Run was called to attend
it. The baby on Thursday night grew
rapidly worse. Gessner said he believed it
ought to be taken to Dr. Burgoon, whose
office is on Ohio street, near the Allegheny
City Hall. The mother was anxious to take
advantage ot every chance to save her child,
and said she wished to have the baby taken
to Burgoon. It was after midnight
The last car had gone into the
bam. There was no way but to walk. The
mother and her brother-in-law started to
walk, the man carrying the infant. The
child was very ill and cried piteously. By
and by it quieted down. After a walk of
three miles, near Allegheny avenue, Gess
ner noticed that the baby was as still as
death. He could not feel it breathe, but he
hurried on. The doctor's office was at last
reached, the bell was rung and the doctor
was aroused. The baby was carried into
his office. "The child is very sick," Baid
( Gessner, "and we want yon to try to do
something for it."
The physician uncovered the little one
and looked at it. "I can do nothing," he
said, "the baby is dead."
The agonized mother and the uncle took
up the tiny corpse, and, taking an all-night
car the better part of the way, returned sad
ly to their homes.
CAN'T BREAK UP THE SOUTH.
Ex-Congressman Hopkins Says Cleveland's
Chances Are Better Than Harrison.
Ex-Congressman James H. Hopkins, of
Washington, and his son William, regis
tered at the Central Hotel last evening.
They were on their way to the Yellowstone
National Park. Mr. Hopkins, speaking
politically, said he thought the chances of
Cleveland for election looked better than
Harrison's at present, but it is hard
to te 11 what will happen in three months.
He believes New York is in line and Tam
many is working in earnest for Grover. He
says Chairman Carter need not waste any
time on the South as long as there is a force
bill before the country. If it hadn't been
for this measure the South would have been
broken up this year. Affairs in Mississippi,
South and North Carolina and Georgia are
in bad shape. The Alliance is strong in all
these States, but Mr. Hopkins says tariff,
finance and every other question will be
laid aside until the force issue is disnosed of.
Mr. Hopkins has been at Bedford for the
last three weeks. He had a talk with the
Governor a few days ago about the Home
stead trouble. Mr. Pattison thought the
strike would be settled this week Mr.
Hopkins next paid his respects to Colonel
Streator, whose treatment of young lams he
characterized as brutal and outrageous. He
said he knew Streator as a boss on a pipe
line, and accustomed to driving men, so
that he is not surprised at his conduct.

AGAIN "TAKE CHARGE.
Homestead Citizens Assuming Con
, trol of the Municipality. '
EVERYTHING VERY, PEACEFUL.
Non-Union Workmen Persuaded. to Eeturn
to Indianapolis.
A LITELT EPISODE AT DUQUESNE
The people of Homestead, are beginning
to pick up interest in the strike with the
withdrawal of a large body ot the troops.
It was noticeable last evening that larger
assemblages of the locked-out men congre
gated on avenues leading to the mill and
discussed the situation in louder tones than
in three weeks. During the evening
several strangers were closely interrogated
by bodies of the men, and it is plainly
to be seen that onoe again the people
are beginning to assume control ot their
own, town. AVith the militia so near, and
so many deputy sheriffs loitering around
ready to report any undue exercise of
authority, it is improbable that the locked
out men u ill again attempt to so thoroughly
control municipal matters as they did, yet
any non-union men who get ofi trains and
announced their intention of going to work,
as Beveral did unmolested earlier in the
week, would surely find their way ob
structed. The Advisory Committee was in a very
complacent mood over the turning back of
35 non-union men who were coming to take
skilled jobs.
Persuaded Them to Retarn.
The.committee having been warned that
the above number of steel workers had left
Indianapolis, sent a delegation to Birming
ham station, where the place-seekers were
intercepted, and after a long parley agreed,
to return, and also to endeavor to dissuade
others from coming to Homestead who were
only waiting their report.
The committee claims that although a
month has passed the lines of the Home
stead men are unbroken and they are start
ing another.month full of hope and fight
This statement, however, was contradicted
at the works last night, where Superintend
ent Potter said that 42 men who formerly
belonged to the Homestead lodze of the
Amalgamated Association were working in
the mill. Most ot those men, according to
Mr. Potter, went to the works to learn for
themselves whether the reports of the num
ber of strange men working in, the mill
were true. On being convinced they re
moved their coats and have not since left
the mill.
Speculation concerningHugh O'Donnell's
whereabouts is again on tip-toe, and all sorts
ot rumors agitate the locked-out men who
are not in the confidence of the Advisory
Committee. Master AVorkroan Dempsey, of
District Assembly No. 3, Knights ot Labor,
said last night that O'Donnell is not on a
vacation as reported, but in New York ar
ranging a disagreeable surprise for the Car
negie Steel Company, Limited.
Another View of the Matter.
On the other hand, a member of the Ad
visory Board said last night: "The fact of
the matter is that no one in Homestead
knows where Hugh O'Donnell is or what
duty called him awav. No, I don't believe
that he is in New York. AH this talk
about our sending him East to confer with
the Republican National Committee is pure
and unadulterated rot. If he is doing any
thing of the sort, he is doing it on his
own responsibility and without our con
sent. No individual, be he Hugh O'Don
nell or any other man, can make any deal
with these politicians. O'Donnell has not
been given this authority, nor will he petit.
You may rest assured that the Advisory
Board will never indorse such a deal, and
without its consent no deal cm be consum
mated. I give you my word of honor so far
as I know not a member of the body knows
where O'Donnell is or what he is doing. I
must admit that it would be better for all of
us if we could only hear from O'Donnell.
He told the Board th'at he was worn out and
that he must have a long vacation.. He in
sisted on being given an indefinite length of
absence, and there was nothing to do but
grant his request."
HOW THEY C0MPB0MISED.
The Prices Paid at Braddock to the Trans
portation Slen.
Recently when the employes of the trans
portation department at the Braddock
works decided unless they should receive
andncresf e in wages they would strike the
engineers and yardmasters were getting
$2 40 per day while the brnkemen and fire,
men were receiving $2 00 and fl 70 respect
ively. In their demand for an increase the
engineers and yardmasters asked for $3
each, the brakemen ?2 25, and the firemen
52. AVhile the firm would not accede to
this demand they compromised matters by
giving the yardmasters 52 88, engineers
52 85, brakemen 52 22 and firemen 51 76.
The latter prices were in vogue at Home
stead previous to the lockout.
STAID AWAY JftOM HOMESTEAD.
Twenty Men Ont or Fifty Refuse to Work
In the Mill.
Of the 50 or more non-union workmen who
arrived in this city yesterday on their way
to Homestead 20 were induced by members
of the Amalgamated Association to remain
away from the little town up the Mononga
hela river. The balance were taken to their
destination by the Tide, along with a num
ber of cots, bedding and provisions.
Of the 20 men 8 said they were from St.
Louis. They were engaged by an agent in
that city, but that they were going to Home
stead never entered their minds. When
closely questioned, they said according to
the representations of the St. Louis agent
they were to take situations in a new iron
and steel mill located in this city. All of
the men were skilled workmen.
Fifty Went TJp on the Tide.
At 7 o'clock last evening about 50 non
union workmen arrived by train at the
Union depot and were conveyed by the Ex
eclsior Express Company to the Mononga
hela wharf, where they went aboard the
steamboat Tide, lying near the Smithfied
street bridge. A large crowd gathered on
the bridtre nd along the wharf, and silently
watched" the proceedings. The Tide lelt
the wharf shortly before 8 o'clock and
ascended the river to Homestead. The
workmen kept closely inside the boat.
bltnatlon at DnqneBne.
It is common gossip at Duquesne that an
attempt will be made on Monday by the
Carnegie Steel Company to put non-union
workmen in the mill and make their prom
ised preparations to roll steel rails. At an
early hour yesterday notices were posted
up in the vicinity ot the mill by Superin
tendent Morrison announcing that the firm
was ready to pay the old men in full. This
step the 'men consider the same as a dis
charge. inside the Homestead Works.
The 23-inch mill at Homestead works
was started yesterday with onej full turn.
The other mills in part operation on single
turn are open hearth No. 2, slabbing mill,
ten-inch mill, open hearth No: 1 and on
two turns the armor plate, machine shop
and the armor plate press shop. The
officials of the company expectto start 'the

A TOUR 07 INSPECTION.
Inspector McKelveyand Two Other Police
Officials Visit the TJnlon Mills.
Inspector McKelvey, Superintendent
O'Mara and Captain' Brophy made a tour of
the Upper and Lower Union mills of the
Carnegie Steel Company yesterday after
noon. Their object was to make a thorough
investigation of the two plants and see if
any more patrolmen 'were needed in te
vicinity. They report, however, that in
their opinion no more police are necessary
as the locked-out millworkers are orderly and
quiet. Inspector McKelvey says that both
lie and his companions are well satisfied
with the state of affairs prevailing at the
Union Mills.
Inside ot the mills there are few signs
of activity. Even 'the laborers who have
been busy there for the last three weeks
seem to have finished their work and it is
said the majority of tbem have been dis-
charged. The machine shop at the upper
mill and the forge at the lower plant are
still in operation but outside of these two
departments nothing is being accomplished.
The gas producers although readv for oper
ation remain unlighted. It is the opinion

by the Sheridan Troop.
The men at the Carnegie mill at Duquesue
were paid off yesterday afternoon, and
gathered around the gates. John Bourk, a
worker, and Watchman Foley engaged in
on altercation, ending in blows. Both were
arrested and in the evening taken before an
alderman: A crowd of 400 strikers gathered
outside the office, making threats. A son
of Foley rushed into the Squire's office and
struck Bourk in the face, cutting a gash.
The crowd became clamorous, and the

John Kane Applies to St. Francis
Hospital Officials When He
FELT AN, ATTACK COMING ON HIM.
He Makes a Desperate Attack Upon One
of the Jmrses and
POLICE ASSISTANCE IS SUJIJIONED
John Cane, formerly a special officer on
the Baltimore and Ohio Itailroad at Mc
Ceesport, is at present locked up in the
Seventeenth ward police station. He is
closely watched by an officer who has been
detailed by Captain Dick Brophy for that
purpose. Last week Kane obtained a leave
of absence from the head of his department
on the railroad to visit bis friends some
where in Maryland. Instead of going there,
last Monday morning he applied for admis
sion into the St. Francis Hospital. He told
the Superintendent that he was subject to
fits ot insanity and that he was afraid that
during one of the spells he might injure
someone, consequently he wanted to be
locked up. His request was granted so far
as his being admitted, but he was allowed
free access to all parts of the hospital.
After being in the hospital three days the
man began to show signs of insanity. It
was deemed prudent by the officials to con
fine him to a ward and he was accordingly
put into a padded cell. Yesterday morning
he became very violent and caused a great
deal of trouble to the attendants.
Violent Attack Upon a Nnrse.
About 8 o'clock, when one of the nurses
went into the cell to give Kane his break
fast, without any warning he sprang
upon him and bore hiift to the
floor. The nurse fought despe
rately to release himself: but he was
as a mere child in the strong grasp of the
maniac. After a hard fight he released his
hold on the frightened keeper and made a
dash for the door. Before the mac could
fully recover his wits Kane had him se
curely locKed in the cell which he himself
had occupied a few minutes before. The
struggle which he had with the keeper
seemed to infuriate him all the more. He
bounded into the main ward and began to
tear up the bed clothinc and to smash
things generally. All of the attendants
became thoroughly frightened at the pow
erful man and took refuge wherever they
couid find it.
Telephoned for Folloe Assistance.
The Superintendent telephoned to the
Seventeenth ward sration 'for assistance,
and soon the patrol wagon was on its way to
the hospital. When the officers arrived the
man was completely exhausted and was
easily taken in charge. He seemed greatly
pleased when the officers said that they
would take him to the station and care for
him. On the way to the station ihouse he
amused himself 'by sounding the gong
which is attached to the wagon. He
was thoroughly searched before being
placed in a cell, .but nothing
except a few papers ' were found.
Among his effects was a bank book on the
McKeesport Rational Bank, showing $23
credited to him. He is also a member of
the Baltimore and Ohio Belief Department
and carries an insurance of 52,000. "When
visited in his cell by a Dispatch reporter
he appeared to be perfectly composed and
talked as rationally as anyone.
Annual Attacks of Insanity.
Said he: "I have been employed on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the trans
portation department for a number of years.
About 15 years ago I was in a wreck and
lost my leg, as vou see. Every year since I
have been attacked with spells of insanity.
They have crown worse each year, and
this, I think, will be the last.
I know that I cannot live through this at
tack, and while I know that I have to go, X
do not want it said that I ever harmed any
one else."
Captain Dick Brophy thought it prudent
to place a watch over him until arrange
ments can be made for him at the Poor
Farm.
It was reported later at the station that
one of the attendants at the hospital had
been kicked and severely injured by Kane
while he was at large.
The man is single, and his home is,
thought to be in Cumberland, Md.

A PATHETIC STORY.
A Singular Case Illustrating to What Ex
tremes Hnman Suffering May Be Vis
ited Upon an Inoffensive Being A Se
qnel of the Johnstown Flood.
Adam Wagner, a German, 55 years old,
applied to Chief Elliot, of the Department
of Public Charities, for transportation to
Johnstown yesterday. He said he was in
an utterly destitute condition and had not
eaten for 30 hours.
When asked by Chief Elliot for the cause
of his miseries, he replied: "I had a good
paying position," he continued, ""'in one-of
the mills in Johnstown and lived with my
family and sister in a home of my own.
Upon the night of the flood I was away
from home and heard of the dangerous rise
of the waters when five miles away. I
started home immediately, but arrived
too late to be of any service.
My family consisted of my wife .and five
children. When I reached my home I
found the ground covered by a rapid rush
of water. The house and my family were
gone. For the next few hours I was like a
maniac, as this was the first real sorrow of
my life. For days I wandered over the in
undated districts, but failed to find any one
but my neighbors or fellow-workmen.
About a week after I found my Bister and
from her learned the terrible story of the
night. She told me how the water came
and drowned my wife and all of our chil
dren before her eyes and how she was res
cued. The narrative increased my Borrow,
as I was more than anxious to find the
bodies.
"Another week was spent in the search
and then I left with my sister lor Bismark,
"X. Dak. Here we purchased some 40 acres
of land and began farming. The yield of
grain was barelr sufficient to keep us from
starving. AVe both worked night and day,
but the work was discouraging, as we could
not get ahead in auy possible way.
"Six weeks ago to-day I went into Bis
mark for some provisions. The day looked
threatening, but I expected nothing out of
the ordinary and made my few purchases.
Just as I was ready to start for
home the storm burst in all
its funS The lightning was fright
fully vivid and the rain poured down in
torrents. It was too heavy for ma to start
home. My gaze was directed toward my
home and as the ground is level as a plane,
I saw a long streak of lightning flash down
ana an instant later saw a sudden red glow.
Something told me that it was my house
that was burning.
"When I arrived my cottage was a
smouldering ruin and my sister was no
where to be found. I searched among the
still smoking embers and at last t ound the
charred body of my lost near relative. I
was utterly discouraged and immediately
decided to start lor the .East. I tried to
sell my farm but could find no purchaser at
any price. I socceeded in selling my horse
and wagon and started. I have got this far
but now am without any means whatever."
The transportation to Johnstown was
fnrnished and food for the present was pro
vided for him. The unfortunate is a sad
looking man and his tones indicate his great
suffering.

A Charter la Granted to the Allegheny and
Lawrence Railway.
A charter for 999 years was issued yester
terday to the Allegheny and Lawrence
Railroad. The capitalization is $1,500,000
divided into 30,000 $50 shares. George T.
Oliver, the iron and steel manufacturer of
Pittsburg, is President. He has 3.960 shares.
The directors are A. W. Black, K. Finney,
Jr., J. A. Smith, the glass manufacturer;
A. W. Anderson, an iron manufacturer;
Henry B. Eea, stock broker, and C. D.
Frazer, of Pittsburg, and E. D. Beiss, Hew
Castle. They each hold five shares. All
the other stockholders whose names appear
on the petition also hold but five shares.
The road is to run from Bryant, in Alle
gheny connty, to 3Ioravia,in Lawrence
county. Both are points on the Pittsburg
and Western Railroad. Brvant is but a
way station on that road, about two miles
north of Glenshaw, and Moravia is a small
town on the same railway, four miles south
of New Castle Junction, where the Pitts-'
burg and Western, Pittsburg and Lake Erie
and the Pittsbarg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago
virtually come together. It is only a shorter
route for the Pittsburg and Western road,
and as George 1. Oliver, President of the
new concern, is a brother of President
Harry W. Oliver, of the Pittsburg and
Western road, it is only believed to be a
part ot that system.
Controller Brown Will Pay Them.
The Carnegie Library in Allegheny will
be closed from August 1 to 14, and the eight
employes will have a vacation. An effort
was made last evening to have a meeting of
the Library Committee, in order to approve
the pay roils for July and allow the em
ployes to draw their salaries before their
vacation. A quorum could not be obtained.
Controller Brown finally agreed to advance
the money, 508, out of his private funds.
and to wait until a meeting can be held.
The young ladies may draiv their pay to-day.
