THE PITTSBTJR& DISPATCH. THURSDAY AUGUST 4 192L 2 returned Mr. McConnell, "bat tra th to tell it was." "Did tou expect to be arrest ed to-dav?" "I really canuot talt to you," replied Mr. McConnell. "But did you?" "No, I aid not. I knew it would come sooner or later, but scarcely expected it to day." 'Did either you or Mr. Dovey call upon Mr. Lovejoy to-night?" "No, we did not;" and beyond thit the prisoner refused to say. The clank of the bolts in the corridor next broke the still ness and the Warden's new guests filed in for tneir night's sleep. Constable Stewart said there wts no partic ular hurry about the commitment, and as the prisoners wanted dinner they took their time. He said the trip ont Fifth avenue was for the purpose of allowing Mr. Dovey to call upon a friend. General Manager Potter could not be found last night- He was believed to be in Pittsburg. It is thought he will surrender to-day. Workers Fleas rd br the Arrests. The Homestead men were feeling very jubilant over the arrest of the company officials; more so because they thought the arrested men would hare to at least spend a night in jaiL The gen eral impression was that the court had adjourned and it would be impossible to admit the men to ball. The locked out men were in a happier frame of mind than they had been for several weeks. Their spirits suffeied a fall, however. Jt was about 7:30 that a bulletin was received from Pittsburg. It stated that all the men had been gitena hearing, and they had been admitted to liberty on $10,000 bail. Boon the men were loud in their de nunciation of the court in its speedy ac tion. Their feelings were relieved consider ably when they learned later that McCon nell and Dovey were in jail. The where abouts of Bowen was as much of a mystery to the Homestead men as it was in Pitts burg. Last night Mrs. O'Brien, who keeps a restaurant on Eiehth avenue, Homestead, came into the citj. Her purpose was to furnish bail for Bowen. Slie first went to the jail, and he was not there. A. visit to Central station was as fruitless. She then called at both Aldermen McMasters' and King's offices, but Bowen had not been heard of at either rlace. Up until midnight he had not turned up. A SON'S IJUUSTICE. it Breaks His Aged Father's Heart and Treads the latter to Commit Suicide Last Evening by Cutting His Throat With a ltazor. .Robert Watkins committed suicide last evening by cutting his throat with a razor. He was a widower, 62 years of age, and lived with his married daughter, Mrs. John Mcllroy, and her husband at the corner of Craig and Ridge streets, Thirteenth ward. Despondency at what he termed ill-treatment of a son in Ireland was the cause of his act His home was originally in Inniskillen, County Armagh, Ireland, where he has two sons living, one an attorney and the other a well to do merchant. He has been in this country some years and worked at various iron mills as a laborer. He quit his work about a vear ago and having acquired a little land "about his modest habita tion, sold it for 5400, and went to live with Mrs. Mcllroy. He resolved to use the money in getting back to his native land. He reached hi? destination and told his sons he intended staying there until his death, but one of the sou's, the attorney, told him America was the best place for him. bought him a ticket and sent him back. He reached Pittsburg eight days ago nith but 2 cents in his pocket. Mrs. Mcllroy took him in but could not console him. He became melancholy at his lot and a lew days ago began to drink. Last evening about 5 o'clock he walked into a front room. A few moments later Mrs. Mcllroy found him lying across the doorway with his throat cut and the blood runninc from a gaping wound. The instru ment of death, a keen-edsed razor, was grasped tichtly in his hand. Dr. Penny was called at once, but aid was unavailing and he died two hours later. Coroner Mc Dowell investigated the case and found the facts as stated. The body was removed later to the morgue H0EE0W.AND HIS FIGHTS. He 'Will Spend Much of His Time In the Courts Kelt Month. Controller Morrow, In his efforts to pro tect the city's interests, expects to spend considerable of his time in conrt next month. He will appear as defendant in the suit of the Manchester Locomotive Com pany, who demand 55,000 for the new Amos keag fire engine furnished by them, now known as No. 2, and which the Controller refuses to pay for because he says the con tract therefor was illegally let. He is plain tiff in another suit against the three chiefs of departments, who constituted the old Department of An ards, and wants them enjoined to annul the Amoskeag contract. The latter suit has been before a master for three years and he is expected to report next month. The suit brought against the city by the State Treasurer to collect State tax on the city's railroad compromise bondf, which were exempt from taxation by act of As sembly, will require the Controller and City Attorney to spend some time in the Dauphin county conrts next month. The Controller's fight to compel Councils to pass resolutions in approval of contracts, so that they must then be submitted for approval by the Mayor, will likely come up in court during the next term. The suit entered by Henry & McCance last week opened up the way to a settlement of the point. The Controller refused to issue war rants to the firm for supplies furnished the fire department under a contract let by Chief Brown. The Controller says the contract is illegal because it was not ap proved by the Mayor; and he won't pay any snch contracts until the court decides the question. DEATH OF H. C. FEICK'S CHILD. The Little Boy Born Since the Troubles Be;nn Di d Testerdav. "White ribbons hung from the doors of the Carnegie buildings yesterday and a card told that the infant son of H. C Prick had died during tlie morning. The little boy was born two days after the riot at Homestead and has never been healthy. The immediate cause of death was the breaking of a blood vessel. Mrs. Frick's health has not been good since the sad death of her daughter, a bright child of seven, a year ago. The death of this child will be a heavy blow to both of its parents. Expressions of sympathy came from all sorts of people after the notice was given by the tacking up of cards on the doors and crowds gathered every now and then io read the written statement. There are two children living, a boy and a girl. AGAINST ILLEGAL LIQUOR BELLING. The .Agent of tho Dealers' Association Makes a Xumber of Informations. Agent Hesser, of the Liquor Dealers' Association, has instituted a crusade against illegal liquor dealers in the two cities. "Within the past day or two he has . made about 50 informations before Alder man King. Out of the entire batch, how ever, only a few people have been ar rested. Albert Lahota, St., Albert Lahota, Jr., and Michael Rogers, of Allegheny, are under bailor a hearing to-day at 3 o'clock. John Lovantosky, Frank Marsick, George Kroeich and Fred Mocacine had a hearing yesterday and were held for court. These defendants had teen peddling beer and liquors in wagons. John Alder and Louis Korp had hearings, but the Alderman re served his decision in these cases. A. num ber oi other arrest will be made to-day. MORE CHARGES YET. Attorney Brennen Says That Additional Informations Will Bo Made AGAINST CABNEGIE MEN. Restraining the Importation of Work men to Homestead. TREAT THE ARRESTS AS A JOKE. Eecretary loTeJoy Says It Is Simply a Bluff of the Workers. PRESIDENT WEIHE EEPDSE3 TO TALK It required much questioning to get "W. J. Brennen, the legal representative of the Amalgamated Association, to talk about the latest phase of the situation, and much he did say was of an inferential nature. He positively declined to say what further prosecutions would be made against the Carnegie people or the Pinkertons, though intimating that other charges than murder would sooner or later be brought against certain persona connected with the firm. Asked if there would be any other persons charged with murderby the locked-ont men, he said: "I know of no others, though I can't say there will be no more. I don't know what information the men may have. They may, for instance, know and be able to prove crimes against certain individuals that I have heard nothing about "When such points are brought out, suitable action will be taken." "What bo you expecttobethe outcome of the informations made to-day?" Expect to Prove the Charges. T can't answer that. It would be pre judging the case of the defendants and the action of the Court In such a serious mat ter as this it seems bad taste to lightly dis cuss probabilities. These men are charged with mnrder. "We certainly expect to prove the charges or we should not have brought them. The whole matter is so serious and of such vital importance that we could not afford to make a false move in the conrts." "Do you think any of the defendants will be held for first degree murder?" "It lies entirely with the Court to fix the decree of the offense. The fact that no op position was made to the release on bail of Mr. Potter and others to-day would indi cate that we do not charge them with first degree murder." "But don't you expect first degree in the case of the Pinkerton men who were on the boats?" "I don't care to answer that" Raising; the Question of Duress. Mr. Brennen would talk no further about the present court cases. When asked con cerning the report that an injunction was to be asked for restraining the Carnegie agents from bringing men to Homestead under false pretenses the attorney first said he did not know, but later he said: "There certainly should be some steps taken to protect workingmen in other cities from the imposition practiced on them by the Carnegies. "We are informed by men who have come here that they were engaged to come to Pittsburg to work. They told the agent that under no circumstances would they go to Homestead, but were told that they were not wanted at Homestead, but at Pittsburg. Supposing Homestead was 30 or 40 miles from the city, they were taken there before they knew it When they found themselves in the mill they could not get out I don't care what Superintendent Potter says, no man can get out of that mill without permission. The State Guards have no right to stand at the mill gates and pre vent men from leaving of their own free will, but that is what they are doing. Getting a Pass to Go Oat "When a poor fellow has been inveigled into the works under false pretenses and wants to get out, he is told he must have a permit from Mr. Potter. But Mr. Potter is not to be found for possibly two or three days and the man must stay, harassed by the importunings of the men around him, who coax him to stay and subjected to virtual imprisonment When he does find Mr. Potter, who has probably been about the mill all the time, but not recognized by the prisoner, who does not know him, be gets a permit to leave, but must wait until the next day to ret a boatio take him away. In the meantime they were subjected to another conrse of harassment, and finally, when the boat was ready'to go and the men had declared their manhood and refused to stay, they were let go." "Mr. Potter thus -makes out that he did not illegally imprison the men, but they were, nevertheless, illegally enticed to the mill by the company's agents. It seems to me that such treatment of men would not be tolerated in a court of justice, but I am not yet in position to say what we propose to do about it" EIGHTS OF PE0FEETY H0LDEES. ' A Carnegie Attorney Discusses the Home stead Affair From Bis Point of Tisw. E. Y. Breck was seen by a Dispatch re porter last night, and, upon being asked what he thought of the proceedings of the day, said: "Judge Bwing was not at all backward in expressing his opinion as to who were the aggressors in the Homestead fight His language could not be mistaken on that point The Carnegies at the time of the fight were in possession of their property in a'kind of a way. That is, they had the watchmen hired hy them on duty there, and, being in possession, had a perfect right to put whom they pleased in the works. Why, If they wanted, the law gave them the privilege of putting a band of savages armed with bows and arrows and spears as far as that eoes, but some people think that because the company wished to put only watchmen in their works they were violating the law and were intruders, justly meriting the reception their men re ceived. Xo; Indians, Zulus, Pinkertons or watchmen the name makes no difference in the law on the point, which is that a per son can piece whosoever he will on his own property. It would not be proper for me to discuss 'the mistakes of Moses,' as Inger soil would say, suffice it to say that they will not be able to prove many of the points on which they base their case. We will have Mr. Potter and the other men in court to-morrow morning to apply for ball." FBESIDSHT WEIHX H0N-C0JLHITTAL. Be 'Will Mot Talk or the Arrest of Lovrjoj and Othnri. The report of the arrest of the Carnegie Steel Company officials upon the charge of murder created much surprise yesterday, and there were very few people who had not some comment or opinion to advance upon the subject Prominent among these close-mouthed individuals was President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association. When asked what he thought of the unex pected move he replied: "I have nothing whatever to say." THE MEH XHUfK II TOFAIB. Homesteaders Say the Court Did Mot Act Properly. The leaders of the Homestead men were not inclined to talk much about the arrests last night Acting Chairman Thomas Craw ford said: "Our men were arrested, and the company Is just as liable to arrest as we. If ours was a crime, theirs was just as great a breach of the law. We did not bring the charges against the men that it might have a eood effect on our case. We propose to win this lockout in a far more honorable manner than that would be. "To my mind it was unfair to grant these men hearings and release them on bail bond afier court hours. MoLuckie, O'Donnell and the other strikers had to Stay in jail over night, and it was nj more than right that the agents of the company should re ceive the same treatment" TREAT IT AS A JOKE. s The CBrargle Officials tra Mot Surprised at the Action of the Homestead Men Sec retary Lovejoy Says the Action Is Simply a Blntt The arrests were the only topic of dis cussion at the big Carnegie offices yester day. A number of conferences wer held there during the afternoon, both in the of fices of "Vice Chairman Irishman and also in those of1 Secretary Lovejoy. All seemed to take the matter coolly and regard the affair much in the light tif a joke. On ac count of the rumors that have been flying for nearly a month they were all expecting arrest, yet doubted. As Secretary Lovejoy laughingly remarked, "It is a condition, not a theory that confronts us." Then he said? "We regard the arrests very much as a bluff, and are satisfied nothing can be done. To tell the truth, there is not very much that can be said about it Everybody knows of the talk about entering these suits, and there is nothing new save that the talk has been carried into effect "All the members of the firm that have been named on the informations are arrested exept Manager Potter and Mr. Carey. They will appear in court to-morrow morn ing and give themselves up. There is no danger of them staying away. It will only be a formality. We have all waived a hearing before the magistrate." Chairman Prick only smiled when asked abont the matter and said it was not a thing to be troubled about Vice Chairman Leishman was not the least'bit worried and. didn't think there was any necessity for saving anything about it Yardmaster Dorev, Superintendent Mc Connell and Mr. Childs were all seen at the Alderman's office. They declared they were not worried .abont the outcome. Both Dovey and McConnell waived a hearing. SYMPATHY FOB THE ITEM. Bonders Pass Resolutions Commending; the Stand of the Carnegie Company. Members of the Builders' Exchange held their regular monthly meeting in their hall on Ninth street yesterday afternoon. After the minutes of the previous session had been read and adopted, the Chairman announced that the first business matter on the day's programme was the admission of new members. There were seven candi dates. Each of these was balloted for separately and all received an unanimous vote. The lucky candidates were D. G. Bealer & Co., bricklayers and contractors; J. C Fulton, carpenter and builder; the Electric Manu facturing and Supply Company, electric supplies; the Pinkbam Electric Company, electricians; Iron City Electric Company, supplies and construction; Granolithic Pav ing Company, cement paving; A. Northrop & Co., iron ceilings. Following the admis sion of new members the ordinary routine business was transacted. Just before an adjournment was called, however, the fol lowing copy ot resolutions was presented and adopted: "Whereas, The members ot this Ex change have learned of the insurrectionary and unprecedented action of the employes of the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, at Homestead on July 6 and subsequently. "Resolved, That we affirm the absolute personal independence of individuals to employ or not to employ, to work or not to work "as a fundamental principle which should never be questioned or" assailed. That upon it depends the security of our whole social fabric and business prosperity, and employers and workmen should be equally interested in its defense and preser vation. "Besolved, That we approve of the action of the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, in maintaining their rights to operate their works with persons such as they may choose to employ, and comme'nd its firmness in carrying into effect a principle of so much importance to the American people." M0EB TE0TJBLE AT HEW CASTLE. A General Strike of the COO Employes Will Probably Ensue. The large plant of the New Castle Wire Nail Company including their rod mill is still idle, notwithstanding that the trouble in the wire department was, settled at the conference in this city on Monday last As matters now stand the indications point to a general strike that will Kfe almost cer tain to involve all the 500 employes of the company. The cause of the trouble arises through the introduction of new machinery in the nail mill proper. These machines are known as double head ers; their arrangement being such that the mill can double its previous output They run at a high rate of speed and cut two complete nails at every stroke. Man ager Stephenson wants the men to take charge of the same number of "double headers" as they formerly did single ma chines, and they refuse to do so unless they get extra pay in proportion. A long fruit less conference was held to-day, and both sides are firm, f THE THEEATENED EIOT. Major Crawford Explains How the Mob Was Quelled. In Bpeaking of the threatened riot over the Dovey and McConnel arrests at Home stead last evening Major Crawford, of the Fifteenth Begiment, said: "I went to the scene with two companies. As we reached, the station the Sheriff had read a proclama tion ordering the men to disperse. They would not and many hooted. The Sheriff then returned and told me he was powerless to keep the men back. I said to them, 'You must disperse and at once. You are defy ing the law.' My Adjutant gave orders to the men to be careful how they used their bayonets but to press forward. They did so in a firm manner, forcing the crowd back ward. Bowen, who was arrested, yelled ,Toa have no right to disperse us. Boys, don't move.' Then we arrested him and this action frightened the crowd." EXHUMED THE BODY. A Medical Examination Into the Cause of Mrs. CuUklsUj-s Death.

QUIET IN THE UPPER MILL. lien at Homestead Are Still Confi dent of Final Success. SAY THERE HAVE BEEN NO BREAKS No Attempt let Made to Start Tip the Duquesne Works Again, BEATER FALLS MEN GO AWAY TO WORK But one mill was in operation yesterday at the Thirty-third street plant. This one is known as the So. 2 or small plate mill. In the morning of the day before the firm was rnnning four departments, but since that time a number of their non-union workers have deserted, leaving just enough men behind to form a single turn crew for the small plate mill. The attempt to operate the guide, 12 inch and scrap mills has been abandoned. The reason for shutting down the guide mill Is not known, but the 12-inch and scrap departments will close because there are ''stickers" in the rolls at both mills and In addition to this there are 15 cobblers lying in the scrap mill which are practi cally ruined, snowing that the men em ployed in that department Monday were little acquainted with their work. Al though it is said that the No. 2 plate mill is in operation, the men assisting the roller, are doing little or nothing. At 11 o'clock yesterday the first heat was on, while under ordinary circumstances three heats should have been finished by that time. AToke on tho Non-Unionists. The work on the carpenter shops is com pleted and they now present the appearance of an improvised hospital ward with the little cots all in a line. The scrap sheds serve as kitchens. Although the dwelling of the non-union men is situated almost on the banks of the Allegheny river the occupants do not enjoy the usual freedom of guosti at watering places. Early yesterday morning a practi cal joker placed a row of railroad torpedoes upon the Allegheny Valley tracks and a passing train exploded them. This caused a commotion in the boarding house. Every body had retired for the night and all was quiet when suddenly there was one-half dozen deafening reports. Some one yelled "dynamite" and in less than a minute all the non-union men were on their feet looking for their clothes. Many ran to the limits of the yard and scaled the fences. One of the latter in red underclothing was captured by an Amalga mated scout. When the fugitive had recovered his brea'.h sufficiently he ex plained that he was a non-union man, but would be one no more. Besides some five or six men, who left during the excitement, the Amalgamated Association persuaded six men to leave the mill yesterday after noon and 15 additional men offered to come out, but the Amalgamated Assoclation.sent them bock to work, telling them that when they needed them they would let them know. They are now working for the as sociation inside of the mill. Colored Cooks Leave the Mill. Among the recrnits who left the works yesterday were three colored cooks. This only leaves two in the mill. The three that came ont say they will never cook another meal for a non-union worker. A member of the Press Committee who claim to have received his information from a reliable source says: "There was" but a little over one ton of bars turned out on the 12-inch tmiU Monday, the regular output being 400 bars or 21 tons. To make matters worse for the workmen inside their beer supply has been cnt short When the firm first attempted to supply their new workmen with beer they experienced much trouble in getting a brewer to serve them. At last the Phoenix was induced to take their trade, but fearing that the brewery will be boycotted that company has also, it is alleged, refused to deliver any more beer at the works. The firm is now obliged to go to the Willow Grove Brewery." 80LDIEES GET INTO ACTION. General Wiley Deolares the Iocked-Oat Hen Are Completely Whipped. The soldiers at Camp Sam Black had a little excitement outside of the routine yesterday when they charged bayonets on the mob during the arrests of Yardmaster Dovey and Superintendent McConnell, of the open hearth department. The Fifteenth Begiment, which was on provost duty, had one of the companies in the bloodless battle and a part of Battery B also took part Colonel Mechlins himself took charge of the squad at City Farm sta tion. Back in the camp, though, there was lit tle excitement. The military there seem to expect a long stay, and all are putting floors in their tents and trying to make themselves comfortable. The Fifth Begi ment was out on battalion drill yesterday morning, and a part of the Sixteenth was also drilled. Before the platoon of Battery B was released the entire battery was put through a drill. General Wiley put In a quiet day. Ex Adjutant General Guthrie was there as his guest and the two discussed the situation. Both declared it was a pity that the men did not realize they were whipped, as each day put them further out in the cold. General Wiley said: "This morning I met a thorough iron and steel man who had just been through the milL He told me there were over 1,200 men in the mill and they were turning ont as good steel as any he had ever seen. These men think be cause smoke is not coming from every stack that the mill is not in operation. All of them that are idle are being repaired, and In a few days the big converting mill will be in operation. It is foolishness for these men to stay out any longer. They ought to go back now if the firm will take them." BEEKIHG WORK ELSEWHERE. Workmen Iave Beaver Falls to Secure Positions In Ohio.

Chairman Crawford Thinks Ha Has Clincher on Treasurer Curry as to the Number of Old Man Who Returned to Work. The arrests of the two officials at Home stead drowned out everything else yester day and the day otherwise was very quiet The meeting of Tuesday had a good effect This was shown yesterday by the renewed firmness of the men. Of the situation, Chairman Crawford, of the Advisory Committee, said: "We have at last mode Treasurer Curry own up to the truth. In an interview in an afternoon pa per he says this: 'Three of our former em ployes have come back.' That is the truth. The company has been giving out each day "that anywhere from 15 to 30 old men had returned on that particular day. This they cannot truthfully keep up, as the Advisory Com mittee can too well keep tab on the goings and comings of its men. The company has realized this and yesterday gave out the truth in part Only lu part for the reason that those three men hare since quit work, and now not one of the old men are within the gates of the Homestead mills. "I was up In Pittsburg yesterday, and among other things that I did. was to "take a run out to the Twenty-ninth and Thirty third street mills. The men in both plants are very firm. Indeed, they are more con vinced that they are in the "right than ever. The attempt to work the Lawrenceville mills has been a dismal failure. The Du quesne men are with us still. The mills will not be started as long as the Duquesne men can aid us by staying out" ' BO CHANGE AT DUQUESNE. Statements of the Managers and the Strikers Differ Greatly. The situation at Duquesne last evening was quiet, but a great change may take place before the mills set started. Tester day morning a number of Homestead men were stationed near the mill entrance ex pecting an effort would be made to start up the mill with the turn that should go on at 6 o'clock, but no effort was made. And old man named Edwards who has charge of the store house at night came out at that time and was stopped by the men. He resented the Interference and came near having a fight with the men on guard. Vice President Carney says the effort to stiffen up the movement at Duquesne on Monday night was highly successful, as he stated that the men had agreed to stand firm and those who had reported for duty would again withdraw their applications. The company officials say the men have failed to do this and that more of them re ported for work yesterday. About 150 men reported to the office during the day, the majority being old employes, the officials say, a number ot them formerly strong Amalgamated men, and two of them Amal gamated men from Homestead. The management will hardly make an at tempt to start up before the first of next week. They have a few men at work clean ing up about the mill, but say they want to give all the old employes a chance to re turn. The Advisory Committee at Du quesne started out last night to make a house-to-house canvass and endeavor to per suade the men to remain out HATE PLENTY OF MEN. What the Official Say of the Workings of the Homestead Plant At the Carnegie Company's Homestead office the usnal story was given out yester day. The number of men bronght up on the Tide was fixed at 30. The officials say that they will not take any more new ap plications for a while. The grand total of non-union employes was fixed at slightly above the 1,500 mark. The 33 and 35-inch beam mills are to be started to-day. Double turns will be worked on the 23-inch and plate mills. Several more open hearth furnaces are to be operated to-morrow. The new converting mill is to be ready next week. According to the officials, within a week every mill but the 28-inch blooming mill will be in operation. TWO LODGES VOTE ON ARBITRATION. The Amalgamated Association on the Sonthslde Wants No Arbitration. Twolodges of the Amalgamated Associa tion met yesterday afternoon on Fifteenth street, Southside. Each meeting was well attended and several important questions discussed. When the subject of submitting the settlement of the present labor difficul ties to arbitration came before mem bers the proposition was almost unani montly defeated. That this is the sentiment of the workingmen is shown by the number of members of each lodge vot ing. The one numbered 135 members and 120 were present The other 85 and 76 were present The other lodges on the South side will meet to vote upon this question before the end of the week. O'DONNELL NOT AT BETHLEHEM. Nick Farland Maters a Statement After Being In the Mills. The members of the Advisory Board, from the Chairman down, last night gravely affirmed that there was no truth in the story that Hugh O'Donnell was in Bethle hem. They claimed that he had not been within 500 miles' of Bethlehem. But when pressed to give the present address of the much-talked-about O'Donnell they politely declined to talk. Nick Farland, who went to w6rk In the mill and came out again, attended the meeting of the board. He made a written statement of what he had seen and heard during his sojourn in the plant, but the committeemen declined to make it public.
