O'DonnMl ITat Been Heard From.
The Homestead Advinory Committee met
as usual last night. Its woric developed
nothing new. The business done was purely'
routine, so Acting Chairman Crawford said.
Hugh O'Donucll has been heard from.
This much w:n given out by Mr. Crawford
last liichL He would say'nothinc more
about it. He said: "I have heard from
O'Donnell, but where he is and what he is
doing I will not tell you, or any other per
son.". Mr. Crawford also denied the report of
Secretary Lovcjoy that 40 Amalgamated
men were employed in the mills. He said
not a man had leit their ranks yet. Re
garding the story that a number of old la
boring men would go back to work, Mr.
Crawlord said it was utterly Jalse. He
looks lor no break in the ranks of the
locked-out steel workers.
There were no arrests yesterday. It is
probable that a number will be inade to
day. The locWed-out men express no lll
Jeeling toward the holding of services at
the mill They think it was perfectly
right.

In an interview last night in Steubenville,

the Amalgamated men.
"When will the McLaughlin works at

in the Camp.
WILLING TO STAY UNTIL THE END
'All the troops who have been relieved
from duty at Homestead will be paid early
this week," Adjutant General Greenland
said yesterday. "The draft to pay the
Fourteenth Regiment has already been
forwarded to the proper authorities
of that command. The other
regiments will be paid promptly."
It was reported in camp on Saturday that
several Pittsburg pawnbrokers had, during
the week, visited the encampment and bad
purchased the pay of many of the soldiers
for 85 cents on the dollar. The report cre
ated considerable indignation among the
military authorities there. An investiga
tion was at once instituted, but no
soldier was found who would
admit he had sold his pay.
Adjutant General Greenland said that if
the pawnbrokers had gotten into camp and
had purchased the pay of soldiers at a dis
count they will lose any money so advanced.
"We will, on account of the rumor, which
we have been unable to run down, take ex
traordinary care in paving the troops. "We
will, of course, send the State's draft to
the captains of the companies."
A Jlove. to Mock the Brokers.
The captains will deposit the drafts and
will check against them, and every soldier
will be required to sign the pay-roll in
such a way that no second hand business
can be practiced. The pawnbroker cannot
recover any money unless he has estab
lished some agreement with the captains,
and if the captains have entered into any
agreement there will certainly be some
cashiering.
Adjutant General Greenland arrived in
camp yesterday morning. He spent the
morning with General Wiley, and in tho
evening Generals Wilev, Greenland, Sui
geon General Reed and Colonel Lnuiberton,
of the Heading Coal and Iron Company,
with a number of staff officers, visited
Colonel Hawkins In command of
tho Pi o visional Battalion, on the
Snissvale side of the river. The
distinguished party enjoyed a delight
ful evenimr toiether. They told stoiies,
smoked Wheeling stogies and drank
lemonade for several hours. During the
Msit Colonel I-ambertoii annonnoed that his
company employed about 25,000 men and
that ho would agree to give a place
to every member of the National Guaid
who forfeited Ills position by responding
to the State's call to go to Homestead. This
information was given to the hoys still re
maining in camp. It was gratifying to them
all.
Colonel Hawkins has reduced his soldiers
to the strictest possible discipline. All his
men are compelled to salute the colors at
headquarters and at night the sentries are
lequired to announce tho hums between
taps and reveille.
A.great many visitors were admitted to
the camp yesterday.
Oil Country Hoys Happy.
The Sixteenth regiment, the oil country
boys, are apparently enjoying tlierHpro
longed stay under canvas. There is not a
case of sickness in tho regiment, and their
quarters are as clean and as w ell policed as
any camp that was ever pitched. General
John. A. Wilev and the Buraeon
general went through tho Sixteenth
camp yesterday and both declared that they
had never seen a camp that was kept
cleaner.
Colonel Willis J. Hullngs said yesterday:
"The boys have settled down to monotonous
camp life. There are few of them who are
liable to lose their positions. In the last
three or four days I havo had but
three or rour applications for lur
loughs. There are a number of
them awav now, who will bo absent nntil
after the first of tue month, when they ex
pect to return. Everyone has been saying
thai if there is to be any trouble it will
come toward the windup of the strike, and
the boys ot the Sixteenth are not anxious to
be relieved at the last moment and have
some other regiment Jump in and cairy
awav any glory that may lesult from an
outbreak."
Toadies Visit the 'soldier Boys.
The camp was visited by scores of friends
of the bluecoats yesterday, half of whom
were ladles. There is to bo an election for

Mr. Westfall were the Anarchists Bauer

Satuiday. The assassin Bcrkman was also
uu auditor, but he did not leave his cell
door or mingle with the other prisoners, as
did Bauer and Enold. Mr. Beikman's cell
door was thrown open, that he misht em
brace the privilege accorded him, as Warden
McAleese makes no exception to his rule of
permitting all his guests to attend worship,
but Berkman did not join the congregation.
His cell, however, was not so far away that
he could not hear the lesson and lie re
mained ut his door until the service was at
an end. Bauer and Enold seated themselves
among the other pi Isoners, but neither of
them spoke to the other or to anybody else.
When the services were finished both stood

was said and then returned quietly to their 1

FISHERMAN'S LUCK-
Two PltUbnrgers Meet on the Banks of the
Upper Monongahela.
Er-Councllman Phillip Schnltz, of the
Twelfth ward, returned irom a fishing and
hunting expedition on the U riper Mononga
hela river yesterday. As an angler he had
poor success, for a continuous sit on the
banks for 33 hours failed to show that there
was a fish wlihiu tf n miles of his hook. Just
down the hauka shoit distance was a man
who was doing a big business. About a
dozen lines were out in the river and the
man was pulling In the finny cieatures at a
rapid rate.
Mr. Schultz pulled in his lines and decided
to cast them near his lucky neighbor. The
successful fisherman proved to- be Lonny
Lonir, the clerk of .the Criminal Court. In
stantly they recozhlzed each other and fell
upon each other's breasts The oouncllman
told the clerk that he could not catch any
thing i' nd the clerk told the councilman not
to be alarmed, as lie had enough fish for
both. As the sun disappeared' behind the
Western hills a boat, manned by two sun
burned Individuals, were seen lowing into
the middle or the river with a string of fish
20 feet long hanging to the back end of the
boat as a tiller. On close inspection the pair
proved to be the councilman and clerk.
Mr. Schultz took hair of the fish and came
to town, while Clerk Long changed his bait
and moved fuitlier up the river.

A C0L0B-BLIND FLAGMAN
Causes Heaps of Troub'n on the West End
Street Car Line.
The Tf est End car line was put to great
inconvenience yesterday by a signal man.
This man was stationed at the bend In the
toad at Pamtei's mill, and had a large sign,
one side white, the other red. It was his
duty to watch tlie cars, and when one car
was on the switch, to present the red side
to the car coming the other way to notify
it not to come on the switch. IT the switch
was clear he turned the white side, indicat
ing that all was right and to come on.
The man was color-blind, and all day only
guessed at which color he was signaling
with. The result was many complications,
and when two cars came on the switch to
gether, the drlveis would quarrel, both as
seitlng they were right. Neither would
give way, and the passengers were sub
jected to long waits. This was kept up all
dav causing a great deal of trouble and
hard feeling.

CHANCE FOR GLORY.
How the Petroleum Exhibit Could
Be Made a Feature ot the Fair.
SOME UNIQUE DISPLAY NEEDED
To Impress on Tisitors What a Great Etate
Is PennsjlYania.
INTEEESTIXG TALK WITH MR. BREWER
Eben Brewer, of Erie, who was in the city
yesterday attending the funeral of his
lather, is one of the secretaries for the
World's Fair. He was also a commissioner
of ths Erie Canal, and did much to have the
survey of the route to the lakes completed.
Mr. Brewer thinks that Congress is not
doing the right thing in refusing to pass the
appropriation asked for the Fair.
"The Chicago people," he said, "have
already planked down 111,000,000 to pay
the expenses, and if Congress will not ap
propriate.the $5,000,000 the city will raise
the balance of the money needed and bond
the gate receipts, which ought to be about
$12,000,000. What we want is an indorse
ment of the Fair by the Government. The
invitations to foreign nations to participate
were issued in the name oi the President.
The Grandest Fair Ever Seen.
"No world's exhibition ever held cost as
much as the one in Chicago will. In the
beginning the national commission raised
the hopes of the' people in the city, and the
buildings were planned on a more extensive
scale than intended. If Uncle Sam contri
butes $5,000,000, Director General Davis has
recommended that part ot the money
he ued in erecting a building exclusively
for tho educational display. The exhibit
now will be placed in the main building. but
educators in the country aro growling a
dreat deal abont their cramped quarters.
The educational display at the Centennial
was crowded into a gallery, and the people
interested have comnlalned ever since about
their treatment. They claim, nnd with
truth, that the exhibit was overshadowed
by others, and visitors went away without
any distinct impression of the school dis
play. The trouble is that the applications
for space are flvo times larger than tho
amount at the disposal of the management.
The educational structure will have about
400,000 squnre feet of floor space and will be
located on the islaud in the lagoon.
Chinese Will Sulk at Home.
"All the nations orthe world except Chlri
have agreed to make exhibits. The Chinese
Government feels sore over the Scott ex
clusion bill, and the Mongolians, as a people,
will Oo nothing. Several large Chinese cor
porations, however, will be represented. and
firomtse to have a fine display. Tho Scott
111, by the way, is a blessing to the country.
China could easily dump enough of her
peonle in the United States to control us
without noticing a reduction in tho popula
tion. "I hope the Pennss'lvania display will be a
fine one. My idea is that the State should
take some line, and make it characteristic,
different from anything else in the fair, so
that when the people return home thev
will cai ry away with them someleadinzand
Prominent feature of the Keystone State,
he oil display could be made very unique,
but the producers have lost much of tnelr
enthusiasm and they are not carrying out
their original piomises. The Standard Oil
Company doesn't seem to bo doing any
thing, though they lurnish the fair with oil.
Because the managers held the oil exhibit
nnder advisement "for a time on account of
the danger from fire, the pioduceis became
discouraged and lost interest.
Faiqualir Is Vre paring Plan.
"Sometime ago I met Executive Commis
sioner Farquahr. He said he had two
things In view thnt would stamp Pennsyl
vania and its industries In the minds of
visitors. He didn't say what he intended to
do. Lewis Emery's scheme was to build a
large oil tank in a good location. Inside
galleries could be bnilt on which every
article- made lrom petroleum would be ex
hibited. A well was to be boied In the
center to show how the crude petroleum
was drawn from the earth. The people
could gain access to the inclosure from be
low and at the sides. Mr. Emery has
a fine oil museum at his homo and
would loan his specimens. The old
tools used In the Drake well can be had, aud
by making ndditlons of this kind the dis
play would be historical and representative
of the business ns developed to-day. I think
oil Is tho most oiiginat of our resources,
and if properly handled would attract great
attention nt the Fair."
Congiessman W. A. Stone relumed to
Washington last eyening. Ho said a minor
ity was trying to control the majority of the
House, but rather than allow them to win,
he for one Is willing to stay nil sum
mer. He added that higgling over an
nppiopriation for tho World's Fair
was outrageous, and sets a bad example for
foieiun nations. It looks as if the people of
the United States are not interested, when

A GK1M RECORD.
Coroner McDowell Has the Unprecedented
Number or 188 Violent or Sodden Draths
to Investigate During the Month or July
Thirteen Murders Committed.
Coroner McDowell makes the start
ling report that 128 persons met
violent deaths daring the past month.
Day by day business has been
crowding on that official, and not only he
but all the attaches of the office have been
bard at work making investigations which
each case required. At times the morgue
has been crowded to its fullest capacity, and
not a day has passed that some one who had
met a violent death was not received there.
Many orthebodies were Identified and taken
In charge by friends for burial, while sev
eral found resting places in the potter's
field.
In this awful list of death the railway
fatalities take the lead by furnishing 38
victims. Every case was that of trespass
and in every instance a verdict of acci
dental death was rendered. Notwithstand
ing the heavy travel during the month by
pleasure-seekers to and from resorts near
the city, not a single acoident of a fatal na
ture has occurred to passengers. In many
Instances people would walk the tracks and
bridges, and before aware of the approach
or a train they were run down and killed..
Murder comes next on the list with 13 vic
tims. The entire number of deaths were
caused by gunshot wounds. Ten were
killed during the riot at Homestead on the
morning or July 6 In the engagement be
tween the mill workers with the Pinkerton
detectives. The remaining three murders
occurred in Pittsburg. The murderers In
each case have been captured, and are
lodged In the county Jail awaiting trial.
Tne rivers claimed tlie largest number or
victims during the past month in the history
or tho two cities. The majority of the cases
were those o! young men who had gone into
the rivers to bathe and were drowned. In
several instances the bodies of the unfor
tunates were carried a considerable distance
by the enrrent before they were recovered.
The rivers cave up 20 or the dead.
Despite all the warnings that people have
had regarding the deadly oil can, IS persons
met their death in that frightful manner,
during the past 30 days. These fatalities
were almost exclusively among women who
thoughtlessly ponred oil Into their stoves.
The most pathetio case was that of Mrs.
Thomas, who was burned to death and her
home destroyed by fire. Her husband and
children barely escaped with their lives.
Deaths from heat and alcoholism reached 4.
The month of July was an exception in
the mills in consideration of the lact that
not a single fatal accident occurred. This
said Coroner McDowell is because nearly
all of the large works are closed down.
AN AFIEENO0N FIBS.
The Pittsburg Fk-no Works Totally De
stroyed Yesterday.
Shortly after S o'clock yesterday after
noon the iron clad building owned by the
Pittsburg Skene Works, located on the cor
ner of Elizabeth and Gloucester street,
Twenty-third ward, was consumed by fire.
The building was 60x100 feet. By the time the
fire department i cached the scene the struct
ure was a mass or flames. The rear part or
the building was occupied by Fleming
& Hamilton as a plnce for Japanning tin,
and when the flames reached this spot they
hud plenty to feod on, as the paint burned
very-flercely. It required considerable woik
on the part of tho depaitment to keep the
fire from spreading.
The fire Is supposed to have been caused
by ono of the cupalos. The building was
owned by W. F. Patterson, who estimated
the entire loss at $4,500, on which there was
a partial insurance.

"AFRAID J)F HERSELF.
A Five Months' Struggle Between
Season and Insanity.
SUCCUMBS AT LAST TO HEB MANIA.
The Death of a Yonng Man Breaks a Heart
and Causes l'ementia.
JIANGS HERSEfiP AT THE CITT HOME
After struggling for five months against
an insane desire to commit suicide Frances
Fonuer succumbed to her dementia and
hanged herself yesterday morning in a
bathroom at the Allegheny Poor Farm.
Every precaution had been taken, at the un
fortunate woman's request, to prevent her
irom committing the violrnt act. and since
her confinement she had obtained more
control of herself.
Upon the 25th of last January Florence
Fonner, the youngest son of the family,
died from the effects of typhoid fever. The
young man was but 25 -years of ae and was
the old mother's idol. Mrs. Fonner, who
was upward of 70 years of age, was heart
broken at her son's death, and followed him
to the grave on the 11th of March.
Frances, aged 47, the eldest of the chil
dren, lived with her parents at No. 189
West End avenue, and occasionally went
among the sick of the neighborhood as
nurse. She and her mother were more like
companions than parent and daughter, and
her health, which had never been strong,
was shattered by 'attending first her brother
and latterly her mother.
Afraid of Committing Snleldn.
Some two weeks after the death of old
Mrs. Fonner the remaining members of the
family were startled by having Frances de
mand to be tied op or she wonld talce her
own life. The woman was pacified, and
no more was thought of the matter
until some few davs later when the same
stranse request was made, this time with
greater vehemence. From this on the
woman beiran to exhibit peculiar symptoms
and Dr. S. W. Boksc, of No. 102 Taggart street,
ti as called in to attend her. The physician
expre-sed grave doubts and treated his
patient for melancholia. She did not con
fide In anyone for several days bnt then
went to her lster Mrs. H. K. Deltrich of No.
202 West End avenue and declared she was
continually possessed with a desire to end
her life.
"She said she heard voices at all hours of
the day and night tolling her to commit
suicide." continued Mrs. Deltrich, ns she
to'd a Dispatch man or her sister's strange
case last night. "1 told her she slionld get
rid of the idea, bnt received the reply that
she was perfectly rational and realized fully
that it was a condition or a diseased brain,
but notwithstanding this, she was almost
powerless to resist the inclination to kill
herself. I called npon her one midnight and
found her walking up and down the room in
a state of intense agitation.
Placed Under Close Snrralllance.
"She threw her arms around my neck and
weeping bitterly asked me what she should
do. 'Everybody Is asleep but me,' she said,
'and 1 can do anything I want to with my
soir and no one can prevent me.' I quieted
her and Anally put her to sleep. The next
day she Insisted upon being put in some
institution where she would be under
constant surveillance and she could be
prevented from doing herself the Injury she
leared. We had an aversion to Insane
asylums, aud secured her admittance into
the Allegheny City Farm at L'laremont.
Here she was getting along very nicely, and
we had made all arrangements to
tuke her into the country this week, as the
attending physician advised as much quiet
ns possible and gave cs some hope for her
ultimate recovery."
yesterday morning the woman entered
one of the bath rooms at the home and de
liberately wrappod the lower end of a rotler
towl about her neck and then threw herself
down and was gradually strangled to
death. She made no outcry and
her body was not discovered
until half anhour later. The Coroner was no
tilled and will hold an inquest to-day. The
grandmother of the unlortunate woman,
aged 82 years, is still living.

What the lightweight Does in Preparing
for McAuIlffr.
Billy Myer, who is to fight Jack SIcAuliffe,
is working faithfully and thoroughly be
lieves that ne will win first money, $9,000,
Septembers. Billy went into training July
5 weighing 143 pounds, and is gradually
bringing himself down by the usual meth
ods. In order not to weaken himself unduly
he started slowly and has not yet really be
gun his hard work.
He rises every morning a little before 6
o'clock and after a brisk walk of two miles
eats a light breakfast. Then he rests for
half an hour before starting on the
real work of the day. About 9 o'clock he
begins a walk which lasts till nearly noon,
when he l rubbed down either by his broth
er Zddie or James Bardell of Chicago, the
lightweight wrestler, who are Billy's con
stant companions, thongh he Is practically
his own trainer. Billy eats heartily at din
ner, bnt of course avoids pastry and every
thing that has a tendency to fatten. He is
very fond of eggs and has become a great
vsgefarian recently, but eats few potatoes.
Dinner is followed byanother rest, and thon
tho work of the afternoon bezins, nnd it is
mighty hard work, too. The first half hour
Is devoted to exercise with the pulley
weights, which strengthens the arms, chest,
neck and legs. Then comes the wrist ma
chine, a simple but ingenious contrivance
for limbering up the wriits and fingers.
A roller three feet long and one inch thick
is suspended like a trapeeze, but In such
a manner that it turns easily; through one
end a lope is fastened, to which is attached
a heavy weight. The wrist exercise con
sists In turning the roller nnd raising the
nrixht, which is now about five ponnds, but
will be gradually increased. After twisting
the wrist machine for bnlf an hour Myers
flies at the bag. and if MeAuliffe could see
how he hits it he might be tempted to with
draw fiom the match or buy a baseball
mask, for those blows, if landed on an op
ponent's physiognomy, would spoil his
beauty.
In the evening Myer takes a short walk,
and at 9 or 9:30 he is In bed. He calls his
present training play. When he gets fairly
started, a couple of weeks from now, he
will add a number of featuies, such as foot
ball, wrestling, rowing and sprinting. He
has lost only about four rounds, bnt could
easily drop a dozen more if necessary. Myer
seems to be in perfect condition even now,
except as to weight. His dark skin is as
clear as an Infant's, his movements :iie like
those of an India rubbeV man, and his mus
cular development is great. Ills hands are
not tough yet, hut they will be attended to
later. Three weeks before the battle In
September AU Kennedy, who Is Billy's part
ner and backer, and knows a thing or two
about pugilism himself, will take Mjerln
band and see that the 'finishing touches are
put on in good shape.

Honduras Rebels Banning Short of Ammu
nition and Can't Get Any More.
New Ohleans, July 31. Jftw-fa'. It
is a notorious fact that most of the guns
aud ammunition being used in Honduras,
both by the revolutionists and the Govern
ment party, have been sent from New Or
leans. More have been ordered irom here
but the shippers are finding it
a difficult matter to get the con
traband goods there. Most of the
steamship lines refuse to take them, saying
that if they take guns to the revolntionists
it will anger the Government: if to the
Government it will anger the revolutionists,
and as it is impossible to tell who will come
out on top, the company carrying this kind
of freight may get into trouble and injure
its business.
J. B. Connors, of this city, agent for the
Honduras Government, has a large amount
of ammunition ordered which he cannot
get to Honduras. It has been refused
transportation. The United States authori
ties have refused to allow its stor
age in the Custom House, because
of the danger, apd the Collector ordered its
removal and threatens to sell it As ammu
nition in Honduras is running low and the
troops can get none Irom here, the chances
are the revolution will come to an end for
'lack of cartridges.
