of
A PKOTOST GDAKD USES HIS BAYONET
Secretary Lovejoy said last night the
mills at Beaver Falls would not be started
up until the price of wire nails advanced,
as the profits to the company for the last
six months would average but 3 per cent
per annum.
"You see the company has but just paid
expenses during this time, and as the work
men went out on a sympathetic strike hav
ing no grievance of their own, the company
are not disposed to resume operations until
prices are better." Secretary Lovejoy con
tinued: "The mills at Beaver Falls have
been run more as a help to the men than to
jnake any great profits, and, of course, now
that they give us an opportunity we will
watt until prices advauce."
"Is the Illinois Steel Company the prin
cipal factor in reducing the price of wire
nails?"
"Xes, for their wire nail capacity is very
great and they control a large part of the
market. But prices will be better soon
and then the mills will resume operations."
The 1)111 11111 Not Be Moved.
"Is there anything in the report that the
mills will be removed Irbm Beaver Falls?"
"No, there is not That rumor is one of
the many idle ones that have been current
for some time past, but there is nothing in
it. To be sure the Beaver Falls mills are
the larthest away from the city offices of
any of the plants, but there is no likelihood
of their being removed."
"How about this talk of the Government
inspectors of armor plate refusing the prod
uct that is now being turned out and de
claring the contracts with the Government
will be annulled if better material is not
soon furnished?"
Mr. Lovejoy replied that the Government
inspectors could not annul the contracts if
they so desired, and he had not heard they
did. "I was talking to Lieutenant Gill a
day or so ago," continued the Secretary,
"and he informed me that he was very well
satsfied with the material, and had no
cause for complaint. If the inspectors object
to the material turned out at Homestead they
can refuse it. This is what they are in
Homestead for, and everytning they do is
perfectly legitimate. But this wild talk
about their threatening to annul the con
tracts is ridiculous upon the very face of it,
and comes from some sensationalist. I have
heard of that rnmor and consider it as ri
diculous as any of the countless ones that
have of late sprung up."
Denies a Number of Stories.
"Are contagions diseases prevalent in the
Union Mills, and is there sickness at Home
stead?" "No, there is not. We have physicians
in both of the mills, and they are men of
experience and ability and would report to
the office as soon as any such thing became
prevalent"
"How about dysentery at Homestead?"
"There is comparatively little of it
there. Many of the workmen came from
tbe East, and the change in the drinking
water would naturally affect them. I made
a trip through the Homestead mills yester
day, and was surprised to see the hearty,
healthy appearance of the men.
I went through the six sleeping apart
ments, each large enough to accommodate
upward of 300 men, and only saw four in
bed and they were not ill, but sleeping.
The others who generally sleep at tha time
of day that I was there were drawing their
wages, as yesterday was pay day. The
men were arranged" in a line at the office
and all seemed healthy and contented."
"Are many of the men leaving?"
"No, they are not We have made some
chances, discharged a few and employed a
ew more, and everything is progressing as
well as could be expected under the circum
stances." BO DISEASE IN THE HILLS.
Health Superintendent Baker Takes
No
Stock in Sensational Humors.
Superintendent Thomas W. Baker, of the
Health Bureau, disclaims all knowledge of
tbe corps of physicians said to have been
sent to the Union Mills and the Carnegie
works at Homestead to look for contagious
diseases.
"I do not think there is any truth in the
report," sajd the Superintendent yesterday,
"or I would probably have heard something
of it It is not customary to send a corps
of physicians to investigate such matters,
as nearly all large manufacturing or similar
corporations employ their own medical at
tendants. The Bureau of Health is not
called upon to investigate matters until
a definite report comes in. No report has
been received br the Health Department.
I have uo jurisdiction over the Homestead
milU, anl tbe State Board of Health would
be obi iced to pursue the investigation upon
authentic reports furnished by some re
sponsible person.
"If there were contagions diseases in the
mill would it be any object in the firm main
taining secrecy?"
"Just tlfe reverse," replied Mr. Baker.
"Disease spreads with astonishing rapidity,
and all physicians would place the cases In
some retreat where it would not spread.
The very fact that disease is liable to be
contracted by everyone nearby is enough
to prove that the employers of a large body
of men would do all in their power to pre
vent an epidemic, and in consequence of
this I am skeptical of the veracity of the
report that disease really exists there."
TEIED TO FA8S THE GUAED.
A Homestead Striker Unheeds a Sentry
and Is Wounded.
Samuel Rogers was bayoneted by a guard
last evening at Homestead. He attempted
to pass the guard on sentry duty. The sen
try belonged to the Fifteenth regiment,
and was on provost guard duty. Sogers
came Up and wanted to pass into the lines.
He was challenged, but disregarded the no
tification and tried to pass on. The sentry
immediately shoved his bayonet into the
leg of the man who fell to the ground. He
received a painful, but not serious Injury.
He was arrested and taken to camp. The
affair created much excitement, as Sogers is
a striker.

A Veiy Qalet SundRy In the Boruush.
Saturday's big mass meeting and the
speeches of Samuel Gompers and P. J. Mc
Guire were the th intra most talked about in
Homestead yesterday. The words of these
two gentlemen from the East have had a
material effect on tlie spirits of the strikers
and encourage them in their resolution to
hold out
Gompers made few promises of help from
tbe American Federation, but it would be
difficult to find a man in the borough to-day
who does not believe that the Federation
Council is not only willing, but eager to de
clare the boycott on the production ot all
the Carnegie plants. A few of the leading
members of tbe Advisory Board are uot so
enthusiastic, and frankly admit that thus
far the Federation officials have not
definitely committed themselves to any plan
of campaign.
On the surface there is nothing to show
that the Advisory Board is doing any unus
ual amount of work just now, but as a mat
ter ot fact each of the 50 members are de

Money is coming in by every mail. At a

Yesterday was a remarkably quiet day
for everybody in and out ot the big mills.
In the morning religious services were held
in the new beam mill. There was a very
large attendance ot the non-union men and
they listened attentively to the sermon and
sang tbe hymns with apparent satisfaction.
The Rev Edwin Belfour, of Pittsburg,
officiated. He preached an eloquent ser
mon on "Christian Charity," but made no
direct relerence to the existing labor
difficulty.
A QUIET SUNDAY.
Union and Non-Union Men at Irfiwrenceville
Foigrt Their Antagonism.
The Upper Union mills were unusually
qnfet yesterday. All day long there was
nothing to disturb the stillness inside the
plant except the occasional footfalls of the
two or three watchmen on dutv. Most of
the non-union men employed in the works
left on Saturday to visit their homes.
The striking workmen also were absent
from their accustomed haunts yesterday.
Notwithstanding the strugele in Lawrence
ville both the union and non-union work
men recognize Sunday as a day of rest
Their antagonism is forgotten for the time
being, but at an early hour this morning
both sides will return to duty.
President Weihe last night received a
letter from an Amalgamated man in Chat
tanooga stating that up until Friday last
the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, had
three agents at that place trying to gather
recruits for the Thirty-third street mill.
They offered puddlers as high as 55 per day
but they refused to come north. Mr.
Weihe's correspondent further states that
two of the agents became disgusted and left,
going to other points in that locality where
they expect to meet with better success.

A dispatch from Johnstown says that O.

men to work in the Thirty-third street mill.
He was offering big wages, and said that he
would pay S6 lor "hookers and catchers."
Tickets were furnished to Pittsburg to all
who promised to co. He Vaid that he se

PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
FOND OF LITERATURE.
Little Worms Which Gain an Exist
ence From Time-Worn Pages.
AN ALLEGHENY LADY'S TREASURE
Site lias Two of tbe Insects Corralled in a
Copy of the realms.
TQEIR LIFE AND HABITS DESCRIBED
Miss Margaret Tutell, of 163 Buena Vista
street, Allegheny, sheds more light on the
uucommon book worm. For months she
has been studying the life and health of
these little worker and finds that their
evolution is similar to that of all small
worms.
Miss Tutell was found at her home last
night and she took great pleasure in dis
cussing the little insects. Since a child she
has made a study of insects, and says that
the book worm has furnished her more
pleasure in studyjhan any insect into the
life of which she has probed. "The book
worm," said she, "is not unlike
the ordinary maggot In color it is white,
even transparent Its head is not like most
worms, but is sharp and pointed. It is
about of an inch in length. In one way
it differs greatly from the maggot. The
book worm possesses the power to swell out
or grow fat It is developed in a tiny shell,
which it sheds when it is ready to begin
life's destructive work."
The Worm a Lover of Old Books.
In the Tutell library are some rare old
books. Among the number are four volumes
which have been the prey of the little worm.
They are old-ttyle books and bear dates of
1826, 1827, 1832 and 1740. The are bound in
the old-fashioned leather binding and the
pages are of a paper peculiar to
that age. These old souvenirs were
displayed by Miss Tutell. "Rare old books
are these,"said she, "but the little ani
mals which are now making such inroads
through them are as rare. I have had them
stored away in a dark corner of the library
and had not looked at them for several
years until a snort time ago. xou
may imagine my surprise when I
discovered that they had been eaten
in many places. In fact they have been
perforated. I had never seen the book
worm before, but bad read so much about
them that they seemed familiar to me."
Holdine up one of the books she said: "See
how the leather and pasteboard coverings
have been eaten through and through.
Here you will notice their little borings.
Its Koadnays Are Uniform.
"The roads or paths are connected one with
the other in a manner that looks as thouih
the little insect had an original plan. By
these roadways he can follow the worm's
entrance into" the book. See it has com
menced on the outside of the cover and is
boring into the pages. It is queer to me
that it did not begin its work
on the pages themselves and thus
relieving itself of the aduous task of eat
ing a path through the hard leather. In
every instance, however, I find that the
worm has taken this harder route. The
only reason I can advance is that it loves
the taste of this old style leather binding.
"Starting at the tiny hole the worm
makes as it works its way through
the cover and into the leaves of the
book an interesting picture is shown.
While the insect is not so very rapid in its
work it is an industrious thing. It is ever
employed eating leisurely. Its course is
direct for some distance and suddenly a
number of little pathways are run out in
every direction. Each of these routes are
of uniform size and seemed to have been
carefully cut out The worms are ex
tremly particular as to what kind of paper
they diet upon.
They Disdain Newsppr as Food.
"To demonstrate this about a week ago I
took several pieces of newspaper and cut
them to the size of a page in one of the
books which the insects are working at I
put them in the books and left them there
for several days, but the little destroyers
crawled past the newspaper sheets and
made their meal on the time-worn pages of
the book.
"This volume was printed in 1826, and is
an edition of the Psalms of David. It is
evidently the sweetest morsel the worms
can find, for they have been more energetic
in destroying it" She held up the book
and it was bored through aud through.
Whole pages were eaten off, while others
were cut into many snapes. in eacu case
the work was systematically done.
"There were two worms in this book,"
said Miss Tutell, "but I have not been able
to see the worms since lost Sunday. I
would try to get them out to show them to
you, butthe light may kill them. I want
to preserve the insects until the tall meet
ing of the Microscopical Society and then
put them on exhibition. I think it will be
quite a treat to the members.
'I he Insect Is Grnwinc Extinct.
"The insect is rapidly. growing extinct.
This is because the old style paper and
bindings are a thing of the past. I can
show you a shell if you will promise not to
breathe while you look at it It is so frail
that the slightest air would carry it away."
The shell was placed on the black cover
ing of a book, and by the aid of a micro
scope one was enabled to examine it It is
pure white aud about three-eighths of an
inch in length. Either end of tbe shell
comes to a sharp point, and it is ribbed
similar to the coverings of other insects.
Miss Tutell prizes this little speck more
than a miser his gold, and when she had
exhibited it she put it back into a plush
lined box and locked the lid.
"Some New York scientists have said."
remarked Miss Tutell, "that it was the
must which gathers on old books that at
tracts the worm. I cannot agree with them.
These volumes are all free from any musty
smell and the only reasou the worms attack
them is that they love the paper and leather
bindings peculiar to the earlier ages. One
or two of my books are a trifle musty. They
were within easy reach ot tbe worms, but
they did not attack them. I think the in
sects must be Presbvteriuns from the man
ner in which they digest the psalms."
MUSIC AT THE PARKS.
Sacred Concerts Given at Both the Alle
Chrny and Echenley Retreats.
The first Sunday concert ever held in
Allegheny was given iu the parks last night
by tbe Cathedral band. The idea is Father
Walls, of the pro-Cathedral, Allegheny.
He made application to Chief
Ahlers and that official readily gave
his consent The concert was a great suc
cess. Thousands ot people visited the
parks, and the whole retreat, grass and all,
was at the disposal of the people. The
music was all sacred and the best of order
prevailed all evening.
The sacred concert in Schenley Park last
evening was attended by an immense
crowd of people, who were very orderly and
well behaved. Not a bit of disorder of any
kind occurred. The concert was furnished
by the Select Knights band directed by
George M. Williams. A special programme
of sacred music had been arranged and care
fully gone through with concluding with
the "Old Hundred."

this belief, and it was due to this idea
largely that our Government has been
called upon to act as mediator in the recent
differences between capital and labor."
At tbe close of the exercises Bishop
Phelan extended his blessing to the as
semblage. In the cavity covered by the
corner stone there were placed copies of
Pittsburg and Braddock papers, a written
history of the congregation, a large collec
tion of religious medals, photographs of the
officiating clergymen and the Building
Committee. The new edifice is to be built
of brick with stone trimmings, and will
cost $35,000. iThe congregation numberi
more than 1,200 members.
THE LEADEE CAPTTJBED.
Edward Sheenan Will Have to Answor to
Severnl Serious Charges.
Edward Sheenan, of Hardscrabble, was
arrested yesterday and lodged in the Twenty-eighth
ward station. He is only 16 years
old, but has been a terror to tbe police. He
has been at the Morganza reform school
several times.
Sheenan is held on a charge of larceny.
He is thought to be the leader of the gang
iu Brownstown; which has been carrying
on a systematic plan ot robbery for several
weeks. About a month ago a till, at the
corner of Thirtieth and Carson streets was
tapped, but no arrests were made. Numer
ous other robberies have been committed
since that time. All of these are thought
to have been committed by the same
parties. The freight cars on the
Pittsburg, Charleston and Virginia
have been systematically robbed, but
the guilty persons could not be located. It
is claimed that while the cars are standing
at Thomson's station they are mysteriously
marked. When brought down to the South
side these same cars are broken open and
robbed. Sheenan is thought to be the leader
of this gang, and is being held to be identi
fied. The police say they have a strong
case against Mm. He is also thought to be
Shay's companion who escaped from the
officers last Friday night on Twenty-eighth
street.

Broken TVelchlnc Machines.
"Something ought to be done about the
weighing machines around here," said a
gentleman to a Dispatch reporter as he
stepped aboard a cable car at the main en
trance to Schenley Park. "I have just
spent a few cents in finding out that not one
of them is in working order. I see plenty
of people go up and drop in their penny to
get a weigh, put they discover that the
machine gets away with their money with
out a return."

DEATH FOUND THEM.
t
Two Youths Are Drowned Under Pe
culiar Circumstances.
ONE OP THE BOYS A SWIMMER.
He Was Discovered Standing in the l!nu .it
tlie Bottom of a fond.
KILLED ON BIS WAT TO PAY A BILL
Three violent deaths were reported yes
terday. The saddest and most peculiar was
that of William Anderson, aged 18, of
Sewickley. Immediately after dinner he
asked his two brothers to join him in a
walk, and together they went to the dairy
pond. The three boys contented them
selves, when lying under a tree, for about
an hour, when AVilliam suddenly arose and
walked to the edge of tbe water toward the
dam. At this particular point there
is a steep embankment Hardly had he
reached tbe dam when his two brothers saw
him throw up his hands and disappear.
The boys ran to their brother's assistance,
but never saw him again until he was taken
out of the water an hour later. The bank
on which William bad been standing
crumbled and gave way throwing him into
tbe water. ,
What surprised his two brothers most
was that after striking the water he did not
reappear, for he was a clever swimmer.
After waiting a few moments for William
to come to the surface the two brothers ran
for assistance. They met a couple of men
to whom they told their story. The men
volunteered to accompany them to the place
where their brother bad disappeared.
Standing Upright In the Water.
A thorough search was then made for the
body. He was found jnst where he fell in.
His feet was imbedded in the mud at the
bottom of tbe pond and be was in a stand
ing position. This explained why he did
not come to the surface after sinking and
could not save himself.
William Anderson was the son of John C.
and Rose Anderson. His funeral is an
nounced for to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock
from the residence of his parents in Sewick
ley. A boy whose name could not be learned
was drowned in the Monongahela river at a
point nearly opposite the Union Foundry,
yesterday afternoon. The case is a mys
terious one, and the police are investigat
ing it.
The boy was bathing with two other lads
from Mt Washington named Otto
and Jackson. At 5 o'clock the
two Mt Washington boys came running up
Carson street and told Officer Rich that a
drowning bad occurred. The officer has
tened to the spot and found the unfortun
ate lad's clothing on the bank near where
he had disappeared. Nothing conld be
seen of him. and the search which followed
was fruitless.
A Mystery In tbe Case.
In the meantime the Mt Washington
boys had disappeared, and consequently
nothing could be learned about the victim.
The material and general cut of the cloth
ing were such as to suggest that the wearer
might at some time have been an inmate of
tbe reform farm or some other public insti
tution. One of the socks was marked "O.
Z.,"but there 'were no other marks on the
clothing, and the pockets were empty. The
Mt Washington boys will be bunted up
and the matter thoroughly sifted.
Early yesterday morning the dead body
of James C. St Clair. 32 years old. was
.found lying on the edee of Turtle Creek, a
ou Saturday morning the deceased started
from his home to go to Turtle Creek to nay
a butcher bill and it is supposed that in tbe
darkness he tripped and fell over the steep
embankment, breakinghis neck. The money
taken from home was found on the dead
man's person, so that there was no suspicion
ot foul'play. The deceased is a son of Ex
Sergeant St Clair, of the Nineteenth ward
station.
HEAVT BAINS PBEVENT TYPHOID.
Very Few Cases Reported for This Season
of the Tear.
"The typhoid fever epidemic will ba
much lighter this year than for many sum
mers past," remarked Superintendent
Cowan at the West Penn Hospital yester
day. "The week just past has produced the
greatest number of cases. Upon one day
there were five typhoid patients brought
here, but this was the largest
number we have yet received in any
one day. This is the time of year when
typnoitt lever assumes epidemic propor
tions, but I think Pittsburg will be com
paratively free from it this year on account
ot the weather. There has been rain enough
to thoroughly cleanse the sewers, and as a
result the refuse of the city has been car
ried away and the disease germs have not
bad time to inoculate the air."
"Were the cases brought in from one
neighborhood?"
"No, they are from widely separated
places and I have but little tear of the dis
ease becoming as prevalent as it has in for
mer years."
EMPTIED THE EAGLE'S NEST.
Allegheny Police Scixe Several Eaglets and
Place Them In the Cage.
The Allegheny police raided the "Eagle's
Nest," on Gerst alley, yesterday afternoon.
Complaints have'been received almost every
week about the disorder around the place.
Yesterday afternoon a complaint was made
to Officer Kun, and he raided the house.
The proprietress, Ellen Campbell, and
three visitors, Henry Smith, Charles Sar
ver and John C. Hanlon, were locked up.
Threw a Glasi at the Bartender.
Thomas O'Connors was arrested for fight
ing in Stole's saloon, on Butler street He
went in and threw a beer glass at Fritz
Lutz, the bartender. Officer Loughrey
placed him under arrest and he fought the
officer and hit him in the ear. He was
fined 50 and costs at yesterday's hearing.

BOX A PAWS SHOP.
The Improvement of the Poor Society Often
Asked to Advance Caih on Jewelry.
"Many people must think the Improve
ment of tbe Poor Association has a pawn
shop connected with it," said one of the
officials of that society yesterday. "We
have applications every now and then from
people who want us to advance money on
jewelry they bring here. Just yesterday a
woman came in with what appeared to be
an elegant diamond ring which she
claimed was given to her on her engage
ment, and wanted me to advance some money
on it She said she had hired a room for
?5 per month, and was unable to pay the
rent as her husband was out of work and
they had no money coming in. Our society
does not give out any cash at all, but I re
ferred her to one of the officials who could
do something for her personally if he saw
fit I bad one woman bring a pair of dia
mond earrings for tbe same purpose not
long ago.
"We are not having any applications for
help on account of destitution occasioned
by the strikes. Usually during strikes we
are called, upon a great deal, not by the
skilled men, but by the laborers who are
affected. This year we have not had one
application, which makes me think that the
association is taking care of its people."
DANCING WAS PROHIBITED.
Enforced Discipline in a Boarding House
and Was Cat.
During a struggle in a Twenty-ninth
street boarding bouse near Penn avenue
early yesterday morning James Lacey was
seriously slashed about the head with a
razor by Ike Dawson. Both of the men are
colored and had been spending part
of the evening together. The .board
ing house is conducted by Mrs.
Hogan, also colored, and Lacey
was one of the boarders. Saturday nieht
several people were enjoying some mnsic in
the parlor, and Mrs. Hogan, being called
away from home, instructed Lacey to pre
vent any of the men preseut from dancing
upon the carpet Dawson had been drink
ing, and shortly afterward began executing
a wing dance and raising more noise than
harmonized with Lacey's feelings. The
latter asked him to desist Dawson refused.
and a melee ensued, in which Dawson
whipped out a razor and slashed Lacey
three times across the head and then es
caped. Lacey was removed to tbe West Penn
Hospital where he now lies in a
serious condition. The police are looking
for Dawson and expect to arrest him within
a short time, as they have a good descrip
tion of him and know his haunts.
In Search of a Toath.
W. W. Balston, of Horten, Kan., writes
the Police Department of this city asking
their aid in trying to locate his brother,
John Balston, 21 years old. The writer
states that his brother was last heard from
two years ago from this city, since which
time all trace of him has been lost Mr.
Balston says the boy's nncle, J. H. Mur
doch, of this city, had been trying to trace
him.
