Washington", Aug. 3L The corre spondent ol The Dispatch happened to be in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury to-day, when an Associated Press telegram was handed to Secretary .foster stating that the steamship Moravia had ar rived at Xew York, and had reported 26 cases of cholera and 23 deaths during the passage. Secretary Foster said that he could hardly believe the statement, as he thought that the news would have been communicated to him at once, direct from the Marine Hospital officials, and he had received no intimation of such a terrible condition of aflairs on any of the vessels arrived at New York Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon neither Secretary Poster nor any of the Government authori ties had received any information confirma tory of the statement from ifew York, but they were assured that it was hardly possible there could be any mistake about it It is pleasing to say, that these author ities were stirred up by the story of the Moravia more than th6y have yet been in regard to the cholera. Though they claim that they have done all that could possibly be be done to prevent the entrance of the plasru-, there has been evi dent among them a lack of serious compre hension of the gravity of the prospect. TjiIJc of Stopping Immigration. A few days ago, when the scare came of the outbreak of the cholera at Hamburg, there was immediate talk of prohibiting immigration altogether, at least for a time, until the quarantine authorities could get their work of disinfecting thoroughly in hand. I was told at that time that there was doubt of the power of the Government to place an embargo upon the en trance of all immigrants at any port of the United States. It was then intimated that an order would be speedily issued lor such prohibition, pos sibly in the form of a Presidental proclama tion, but nothing more has been heard of the matter, and it seems probable that the President himself has had a hand in staying this sensible action, in a fear that it might in some way affect unfavorably his chances for re-election. "We have done all that can be devised for the prevention of the intrusion of the cholera," said Secretary Foster in the course of conversation on the subject to correspond ents and others who gathered in his office this afternoon. "I think that the quarantine restrictions will be as perfect as such machinery can be in their operation. Xot a soul can euter the United States from any of the infected ports without being thoroughly disinfected as to person and luggage. All will be treated alike. The lady in her silks is as likely to be contaminated, if she comes from an in fecteU city, as the immigrant in rags, and no matter how annoying it may be, 6he must suffer the operation of the regula tions. There is no necessity for any mis take. roster Tliink Prohibition Unnecessary. "The quarantine barrier should be so 6trong a to m. ke it impossible for any per son who has been exposed to the disease to gain an entranct- until he or she is rendered totally harmless tor injury. AVhile the general Government has the power to as sume absolute control of the quarantine, in accordance with an opinion rendered by the Attorney General, I do not think that auy saoh step Mill be necessary." The local government and the general Government, through the Marine Hospital service anrt the Collectors of Customs, will co-operate in the most earnest and harmon ious manner that there may be no loophole for the entrance ot the contagion. I hardly see how wc could prohibit immigrants with out prohibiting all, as an immigrant that has utcn uioiuiccieu is as saie a person to per mit to land as any other class of passenger. There is no la-v under which we may retnrn immigrants except they be paupers or criminals or workmen imported under con tract. But we can detain immigrauts and others as long as is necessary at quaran tine until all danger of their infecting any. body i past. In the case of the Moravia, for instance, if the story be true that she is a plague ship, she can be detained 10. 28 or 30 days or six months if need be until there is no longera particle of danger." The Quarantine Kulatlon Sufficient. . Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who had charge of cholera matters before the leturn of Secretary Foster, does not dispute the position that there is no law under which immigrants can be prohibited from landing, regardless of having been exposed to the plague, or of their having come from an in fected region, but he is heartily in favor of doing all that can be done to call a halt on immigiation during the prevalence of the cholera abroad, "I think," said Mr. Spaulding, "that all that la necessary will be accomplished by a thorough quarantine. Under the re strictions now imposed, it will be very un profitable for steamship companies to make a business of transporting immigrants, as a few days at quarantine will put them to so much extra expense that there will be no profit in conveying pas senger. A single case, or even a suspicious illness of anyone will prevent the lauding of the whole lot for days and possibly weeks, and that would be a ruinous traffic, in so far as the immigrant passengers is concerned, all of whom are carried at a small profit at best. I think that you will see that for some time to come,tlie immigrant passenger list on all of the lines running between this country and W H NGTQN infected cities or countries wiU be very meager indeed." Tlio'l'nbllc or Another Mind, To say that the public generally doas not agree with the halting attitude of.the Gov ernment authorities, ' in regard to the ad mission of immigrants, is putting it very mildly. Every one who professes to know anything about the matter, sees a vast dif ference between steerage passengers and those of other classes in connection with the dangers of the introduction of the cholera. The former comes as a general thine from the crowded portions of the greaf cities of the Old AVorid. They have lived on poor food, are not in the best condition to fight against disease, have breathed vitiated at mosphere to which the atmosphere of the steerage of the vessel is like a gale from Araby. All" disease hovers over and strikes at the unclean reeions wheie they have been crowded together. Their chances of having been exposed and contaminated by any con tagion, are a thousand times greater in their case than it is in the case of the first or second class passenger. I have talked with a number ot physicians and Govern ment officials in regard to this phase of the danger, and without exception they were of the opinion that, as one of the means first to be taken to prevent the introduction of the scourge, immigration ought to be totally prohibited until all danger is past, be the period months or years. Too Timid to Speak Openly. All such persons here are timid about proclaiming their criticisms against high officials of the Government in all matters, but among themselves, -and to persons who will not repeat them, they are unsparing in their denunciation of the failufe of the ad ministration to prohibit immigration, in which the quarantine authorities devote their whole attention to that class of pas sengers arriving at our ports who would be less likely to be contaminated, and who would be likely to remain abroad and on shore where they could have the best medi cal attention, it they had been exposed in any way to the atmosphere of the disease. Physicians especially, like that high au thority in the medical profession quoted in these telegrams a few days ago, say that the most rigid quarantine measures will net prevent the plague if all classes of people are permitted to cross the ocean and land as usual, with only the ordinary disinfecting process which alone would be possible when the number to be treated is large. If immi grants could be excluded, they say, the at tention to fumigation, and all the means tor the most thorough disinfecting would be applied with the utmost care to the other class of arrivals, while the quarantine au thorities will certainly soon become care less or indiflereut if hundreds ot steerage passengers have to be treated every day. Harrison's Course Is Criticised. The President comes in for the lion's share ot criticism, for his apparent indiffer ence to the appalling prospect. In the iace of imminent danger ot the introduction of a plague which may not only result in the death of tens of thousands, but also in an almost total paralysis of business for years and the utter ruin of the World's Fair pro ject, the President is accused of indulging in his favorite pastime of fishing and shoot ing, utterly blind, in his sylvan comfort, as to what is being done by those who hold the reins of Government, and who would naturally be slow to take any unusual step in his absence from easy communication with them. For days it has been a constant wonder with nearly everybody that Mr. Harrison did not hasten at once to Washington when the danger first threatened, that he might be here to take such measures as he only has authority to employ; even to the calling of an extra session of Congress, if that were necessary, to empower the Government to prohibit immigration. Ilich Officials Not Easily Alarmed. Senator Cullum is one of the few who do not think that it is necessary to prohibit immigration, out lie is almost tne only one in this city who seems to think that way. He declares that it would be absurd to call an extra session of Congress. If seems impossible to alarm the very persons who ought to be alarmed, such as Consressmen and high officials. They will drift easily from a discussion of the cholera to speculation in regard to the political possibilities, and the result of the election is apparently vastly more important to them than any danger of the cholera, with all its attencant disasters to the trade and com merce ot the country. They may possibly wake up when it is too late, and then find that their carelessness may cost them dearly at the polls. There is nothing more certain than that the President will suffer severely next No vember if any sensible thing be left un done for the prevention of the entrance of the cholera in case the plague get a foot hold this fall, with a prospect of its staying lor two or tnree years. Jfor that reason, as well as for the safety of the country, Mr. Harrison's friends are anxious for his presence here at this critical juncture. WILL BE THE TEMPOHABY SUCCESSOB. Father DnfTner, of St. Peter's Church, Will Succeed Father 3IollIn?er. To-day Rev. Father John B. Duffner will take temporary charge of the Mt Troy con gregation left pastorless at the death of the priest physician, Father Mollinger. Yes terday the congregation was left by the priests of the Order of the Holy Ghost, who have had the care since the demise of the celebrated priest. The appointment of a successor to Father Mollinger rests entirely with Bishop Phelan, and as the latter is away on a trip for his health his selection is unknown. Father Duffner was seen last night at the pastorate of St. Peter's Church, Southside, and said h e would only take temporary charge ot the Church ot tne Most Holy Name. The appointment will be mde upon the Uishop s return, continued Jfather Duff ner. "Until then nothing definite will be known. I was spoken to several weeks ago by Bishop Phelan and was told to take temporary charge when the priest of the Holy Ghost left. I cannot say who the ap pointee will be, as what I have just related was all that has been said to me upon the subject." "Is it true, ashas been intimated, that you are a physician and will coutinue the work of healing left by Father Molliuger?" "It is not true. No more medical practico will he indulged in. I have but a super ficial knowledge of medicine; no more than any other man in my walk of life, and will not practice upon ML Troy if 1 am the appointee. Bishop Phelan has been decided upon this since the death of Father .Mol linger, and there will be no more physical cures at the Church of the Most Holy Name." A Non-Union Man Amanltrd. An assault was made on Monday upon A. P. Warren, a non-union workman employed in Carnegie's steel works-at Duquesne. He was attending a picnic at Duquesne grpve and was part ed from his wife by a man say ing he wanted to have a private talk with him. Alter getting away from the crowd the man, with the assistance of accomplices, assaulted Warren and beat him terribly with a billy. Colored People at Idlrwltd.

BOOKMAKERS WANT LARGER ODDS. The Big Champion Preparing to Start for New, Orleans. jonjf i,. still snows DP too flbsiii frKCIAt TKLEORAM TO THE DISPXTCH.l New Yokk, Aug. 31. Yesterday morn ing Sullivan got up early. He did practi cally nothing on the day before, and yester day he felt as if he ought to try and make up for lost time, and he went in for regular gymnasium exercise. He was dressed in a heavy sweater and wore tights. Alter Of few- seconds at punch ing the bag he began to breathe heavily. He kept up the violent exercise, but strange to say, his heavy respiration did not increase. He breathed scarcely any harder at the end of an hour of hard work than he did at the conclusion of the first five minutes' exertion. It seems to be a habit of the big fellow to breathe heavily. He spent nearly two hours working in Casey's temporary gym nasium. Then he was.taken upstairs, stripped and rubbed down. It is in the rub bing down process that Sullivan's evident lack of condition is most appar ent. When he is stripped and lying on his back his enormous stomach seems to spread and jut out to twice the size it is when he is standing up. His breast and his sides are covered with loose flesh that quivered like jelly when his at tendants were at work on him. In his rub down he was not subjected to the usual punching and kneading, but was let off with a rub down. Too Mnoh FIrsli .Everywhere. Sullivan'3 stomach Is not the only part of hira that' does not look to be in perfect order. His arms, neck and shoulders are all heavily clothed with flesh, and his huge, bulbous muscles are hidden lrom view. Another peculiar feature about Sullivan's superfluous flesh is that it is soft and white. In texture it resembles that of a child. His figure Is so rotund that his arms seem to be shorter than they really are. His legs, always thin, look thinner than ever. One of the champion's trainers argued that to take off any more of Sul livan's flesh would only weaken him, that the fight will only be of short duration and that more hard work was. unnecessary. Sullivan asserts that he is stronger and better to-day than ever before. Additional wagers made on the fight be tween Sullivan and Corbett last night were: Joe Lannon, Sullivan's old sparring part ner, wagered 5200 against 5120 that the champion would win. He has H0.000 more to wager on the result Georee Bauman has 52,500 even with John OMJeil, ot New Orleans J. E. Ellis, of Albauy, thinks so well of Sullivan that he has placed S1,000 to ?0U0 on the big fellow. Combinations on the Result. Nail Brothers, the backers of George Dixon, are making combination books on the coming fights. They favor Sullivan, McAuliffe and Dixon. Jerry Moran, brother of Frank Moran, Sullivan's man ager, made a wager of 5800 to fCOO. -George Downing, of Hot Springs, invested $1,350 to $2,500 that Sullivan would not "do" Corbett in six rounds. Matt Clune wagered 5100 even that Corbett would succumb to Sullivan's blows in eleven rounds. Colonel A. H. Daniels wagered Jimmy Wakely5550to 51,000 that Corbett would win. Dick Connors, of St. Paul, left for New Orleans yesterday. He made a wager of5200to$100 on Sullivan. He has still 55,000 to bet Fred Harvey, of the Dixon Vaudeville Company, offered 5500 to 5200 on Dixon asainst Skelly yesterday. At the White Elephant, Gilsey House, Coleman and Vanderbilt Hotels there was plenty of Sullivan money afloat, with very lew Corbett men on hand. As the hour draws near for the meeting of Sullivan and Corbett at New Orleans, the interest in the match seems to be on the increase. While few large wagers have been made on the result, any number of small ones are 'recorded daily. The prevailing odds are 5100 to 5G0 in Sullivan's favor, and those'who appear anxious to back the cham pion say that money is hard to place even at those'odds. Ever since Corbett appeared at the Madison Square Garden on Monday the betting has been more lively. Corbett's fine showing evidently reassured some of the doubting Thomases, and the backers of the big Californian are now talking more con fidently than ever. One wager was made on Tuesday at 51,000 to 5600 in Sullivan's favor, and another ot 5500 even that Corbett would not win in 10 rounds. Bookmakers Alter Iare Odds. Al Smith is willing to wager 56,000 to 510,000 that Sullivan does not win. Book maker Iievin wants still larger odds. He is willing to wager . 52,500 against 55,000 on the Californian. Charley Johnston has 510,000 that he would like to bet on Sullivan at odds of 5100 to 570, but claims that he can find no takers. Jimmy Wakely said last night that John ston had sent over 52,000 to cover SI, 200, which ne heard someone wanted to put up. But the Corbett man failed to materialize. Billy Edwards, at the Hoffman House, said that some money had been wagered there at odds ot 100 to 70 in Sullivan's favor, and that one man had bet 5300 to 5160 on Sulli van. Sullivan and his backers go South this afternoon. They will leave Casey's hand ball court, on DeGrew street, at about i o'clock. The party will drive direct to 'the West Shore depot at Hoboten, where they will take the "Sullivan special" at 6:30 o cloctlor JNew Orleans, going by way of Buffalo, Cleveland and Cincinnati. ' The big fellow and his party will make the journey in the handsomely fitted up private car "Traveler." Among those who will accompany him and look out for his interests are: Charley Johnson, of Brook lyn, and Jimmy Wakely, of this city, his backers. The rest of the party will be made up of Phil Casey, his trainer; Jack Ashton, Billy Mor gan, Frank Moran and the "Jap," his valet On the same train will be Mar tin Hernen, Pat Cligeett, J. W. McCagney, Steve Brodie, Mat Cline, Tim Itobinson, Dominick McCaflrey, Mike Costello, John J.

Sullivan has 55,000 to 54,000 wagered on his namesake, and McCagney has" wagered 51,000 to 5600 on the big fellow. Corbett Will Travel In State. Jim Corbett will travel in just as much state as his big rival on the private" car "Escort" He will leave on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock on the "Corbett spe cial" from the Pennsylvania depot at Jer sey City. The trip will be made" over the Pennsylvania and Piedmont air lines. The car was especially pre pared for Corbett's use in Washington. It is upholstered in blue silk plush, and is beautifully fitted up throughout Two of the staterooms hare been made into one, and this will be occupied as a sleeping apartment by Corbett He will use the same bed that he has been accustomed to sleeping upon at the Brady cottage at Loch Arbour. Back of Corbett's room 'are two smaller staterooms; then comes the library, and back oi that, in the rear of the car, comes the parlor, while back of that is an observa tion car. Between the private car and the engine will be the gymnasium car, which will be fitted up with the necessary training appliances.

' DAUGHTERS OP LIBERTY. They Refuse to Reduce the Per Capita Tax and to Chance Becalla f r a Badge Officers Installed and Appointed Other Bnslness of Importance. ' Philadelphia, Aug. 31. .Vperia'. State Councils will -not be established by the National Council of the Daughters of Lib erty. The body voted against the measure to-day almost unanimously, and the dele gates from Pennsylvania had their say against the measure, because all States in a position to take out a State Council charter would not do so. A rather shrewd piece of rork was done just before tbe adjournment this evening, by which Past officers will be deprived in the future ot a voice and vote in the National Council. There was a heavy opposition to the measure and it looked as though it would be defeated, but the friends of the amend ment called it'up at a time when least ex pected and rushed'it through before its op ponents knew what had happened. In about the same manner a measure was passed providing that all officers in the Na tional Council shall be elected and none ap pointed, as now. In was stated on the floor of the National Council to-day that this would prevent so many "plirms" being passed around by the Board of Officers vear after year. The report of the Badge Com mittee, which proposed to change the re galia of the order to a badge, was voted down. The Per Capita Tax Discussed. The first question debated this morning was a proposition"!!) the form of a resolu tion to reduce the per capita tax from 20 to 10 cents per year. There was a long and fierce contention over this, some of the members declaring that the present rat; of 20 cents per member was far more than was necessary for the maintenance of the order, now that the membership had grown so large, and that money was accumulating in the treasury. The board ot officers, how ever, stated that they proposed spending considerable-money this year in extending the order and in other ways for its improve ment, and the resolution was finally voted dowu. A resolution for the preparation and printing of a funeral service for the use of the order was also adopted. Another dis cussion arose over a resolution that here after no member of the Order of United American Mechanics or the Junior Order ot United American Mechanics engaged in the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquor, either as proprietor or employe, shall be eligible to membership in this order. The installation of officers took place just previous to the noon recess, and the cer emony was a most impressive one. xne officers are: National Councilor. A. E. Buridtt of Wnterbnry, Conn.: National Vice Councilor, G. E. Kepple, of Pittsburg, Pa.; National Associate) Councilor, Mrs. L. A. Snddington, if hew York Citj; National Associate Vice, Councilor, Miss Sadio Gribben, of Pittsburg, Pa.: National Secretary, W. O. Staples, of Now Haven, Conn.: National Ireasuior, G. II. Burton, of New York. Ajipolntlvo Officers S'lfCled. These are the elective officers. The other officers are appointed. The representative s to the National Council ot the Order of United American Mechanics are: Georgo B. Ludium, Jersey City; W. N Simons, Norfolk, Conn., and Charles J. Dlt tess, of this city. The appointive officers who were named and installed are: National Associate Seoietary, Mis. M. E. Mars, of this citv: National Associate Treasurer, Mrs. O. C noffman, Salem, O.; National Marshal, Eva B. Uush. New York City: National In side Protector, Mrs. O. W. Mills, Ohio; Na tional Outside Protector, Edward Zacharias, Pittsburg. Some time was taken up in the discussion of the recommendations made by the Na tional Councilor in his annual report The first of these, providing for the placing of a paid organizer in the field, was disapproved. In lieu of it, however, it was decided to provide for the payment of a premium,, of 515 to the orgamzrr-ot all councils having 25 members or more when instituted. It is expected that this will result ip the organi zation of at least 200 new councils of the order in the next year. There was consid erable discussion over the recommendation to change the time of holding the annual session to the third Tuesday of October. Some of the members favored the change, but more did not, and it was disagreed in. Dedication of Brushton's New School. The new Brushton school building will be dedicated next Monday. Arrangements have been made to have the United Amer ican Mechanic;, the Brushtou Fire De partment and other associations take part in the ceremonies.

The new Handbook and Guide for the Pittsburg Exposition lias just been received from the piesses of Percy P. Smith, the well known printer and litnojiiaplier, 20t and 206 Wood street. Tho Exposition book forsev eial years has been a handsome publication, but this year's book so fjr overshadows all its predecessors us to be, in the vernacular of the ever-present small boy, "Clear out of Bidht.'' It is a book of about 230 pages, printed on heavy enameled book paper and very pro fusely illustrated. The cover is lithographed in six or seven colois and is in itscuoneof the haudtomest bits of work that has been seen In Pittsbuig lor a long time. Each page has upon it a lithographed tint and it is over this that the type matter has been u-intod. The half-tone portraits and cuts of mildlngs were made by the I't.'Pits En era vlng Company, and are not only well mnde, but are splendidly brought out by the piessman. Itisnototten that we see heroin Pittsburg half.tono work so clearly and dfs tinctly printed, and it Is a pleasure to know that it can bo done here. Just inside tho front cover ai e t wo pages containing the por tiuits of the officers and directors oi the Ex position. Then comes the piospcotus lor tbisyeai's Exposition with a History of the past and a resume of the industrial and com moicial interests of the city. The bookwas written by Will S.Power, and isalciedlt even to bis easy flowing pen. The illustiations, as has been said, aie of superior merit, while the lithography and press-work are of tho very highest Older. It is, taken as a whole, the iiandsomest piece of work in its line ever turned out in Western Pennsylvania. It is a matter for congratulation to the publishers that notwithstanding the persist ent boycott waged acauist the book by striking printers and innumerable petty an noyances the publication is out on time and is filled up with the advertisements of tho best business houses of the city.

A Traveling Man's Experience With Diar rhea. I am a traveling man and have been af flicted with what is called chronic diar rhea tor some ten years. Last fall I was in Western Pennsylvania, and accidentally was introduced to Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and Diarrhma Bemedy. I ventured to make a trial and was wonderfully re lieved, I would like now to introduce it among my friends, H. M.

Forty-Five Skilled Men Brought From Biimlngham, Ala. TUB SOLDIERS RECEIVE 20 DAIS' PAT Chairman H. a Frick, of the Carnegie Steel Company, was a visitor at his works vesterdav morninp for the first time since the eventful day of July 6. He arrived early in the morning, going up to Home stead on the 8:30 train. He was attended by a Pittsburg detective. The pair left the train at Munhall station and went right into the works. Few people were met along the street, and those who did see the two men did not recognize the one with the whiskers as the head ol the Carnegie inter ests. On the inside of the mill Mr. Frick met Superintendent Potter and Treasurer Cur rey. Together they started on a tour of the big plant. Mr. Frick's visit there yes terday was for that purpose alone. He Btayed in tbe works until noon and then came out and took dinner at the Carnegie Hotel. He was seen by a Dispatch man after dinner. He said: "It was only a desire to see the plant running with the new men that brought me to Homestead to day. I have been daily receiving reports of how things were progressing and I must say that the mill is running even better than I have been informed. The Strike a Thine of the Past. "Our new men are doing their duty in a way that is above criticism, and as to them having ruined considerable machinery, it is false. Tbe officials of the Homestead mills have had a big task in starting the plant,, hut they have proved themselves equal to the duty, and their work gives me the high est satisfaction. I never consider that we have a strike on hand, now. It was broken long ago, and it will be but a short time un til the Homestead plant is turning out its usual production." Mr. Frick went into the mill again after dinner and after a short consultation with the officials crossed the river and went down to Pittsburg on a Baltimore and Ohio train. Hia in'it tn TTnmeRtead did not become public property until about the time he left the town. ' Soon all sorts of stories were afloat as to his mission. Some enterprising fellow tried to make the people believe the Chairman was in town to declare the strike oft. The majoritv ot the men did not put confidence in this' tale for they knew such a thing was highly improbable. Tried to IJve on Promised Keller. McMasters constables were at work again yesterday. None of the Homestead men were arrested, but several are likely to turn up in jail this morning or before the day is over. The constables made an early morning visit to Duquesne and bagged John Wyper. He is one of the men who is charged with rioting at Duquesne several weeks ago. Wyper claims to have played in tough luck. He worked in Duquesne before the sympathetic strike, and when he came out he says the Homestead Advisory Board promised to give him aid. For the past couple of weeks he has been living on a diet of prom ised aid. The other day he had to send his wife to her home. Since then he has been hustling lor a job. Tuesday he secured employment as hod carrier- and was to have gone to work yesterday morning. He was Just starting to his new task when the con stables arrived. Tne same officers also arrested John Nel son, of Braddock, on a charge of rioting. Nelson was a former Duquesne steel worker, but has been carrying a hod lately. At each of the men's houses a Pinkerton mace was found. This makes the officers think" the fellows had a hand in the Homestead riot, The prisoners were taken to jaiL Advisory Board Members Out of Sight. No arrests of any kind were made in Homestead yesterday nnd the day was quiet. As on the day before there were none of the Advisory Board members visi ble. They all kept in the seclusion of their homes, and only came out to attend the board's meeting last night, at which nothing of interest was done. Adjutant General Greenland did not ar rive in Homestead yesterday as was ex pected. He tent the money to nay the troops and it is not likely he will come at this time. The warrant's called for J30.000 and will be used in paying the troops for 20 days' service. The State still owes 22 days' pay to the men at Homestead. Lieutenant Colonel Mechling is at his home in Butler, and Major Crawford, of the Fifteenth Kegi ment, is doing provost marshal duty. Yesterday 45 skilled workers arrived at the works. They came from Birmingham, Ala. There was considerable talk in Home stead last night over the bearing of the Du quesne rirters held in Pittsburg yesterday. The testimony of the Pinkerton spies of course was the topic. A number of tbe more prominent locked-out men were asked what they thought of the Pinkertons, who nere members of the Amalgamated Associ ation, giving testimony against the prison ers. The general answer was that they thought it not a remarkable occurrence. The Pinkertons Surprised the Strikers. They of course were greatly surprised that spies had worked themselves into the organization, but they cited the Molly Mc Guire and an Eastern case as like incidents. One man said it was fair enough since the present was a time of war. Hugh Boss l$ft Homestead yesterday af ternoon to give himself up, but Alderman McMasters said last night Hois had not come to his office. He said he had 17 ad ditional indictments against Carnegie of ficials which he intends pushing. Several ot them are in the United States Courts. The borough of Homestead yesterday sold 532,000 bonds at par to the "Freehold Bank ot Pittsburg. Twenty thousand dol lars of the money is to be expended for water extension and the other 512,000 will be equally divided among the tour fire com panies. Many thought these bonds ought to have brought more than their face value, but the sale is considered good in the face of affairs at Homestead. La-t spring 553,000 worth of bonds were ordered issued tor street improvements, but these are Being held back until the Squirrel Hill Street liailway enters Homestead.

John Fitzsimmons, one of .'the men charged with rioting at Homestead came into Alderman McMasters' office yesterday atternoon with his attorney, John Madden, and bondsman, to give himself up. He said he had heard there was a warrant out for him and did not want to give the officers any trouble. While tnetond was being made out, Mr. Madden asked the Squire when he would hear the case. Alder man McMasters said on Saturday at 1 o'clock, but upon reconsidering he asked Mr. Madden if Thursday at the same time would not suit as well. Madden replied, "We couldn't get our witnesses down in that time, 'Squire." "Well, that doesn't matter much," re- Elied the Alderman, "for even if you did aye them I would not take their test!-, mony." This rather surprised Attorney Madden, who ald: "What, you won't hear thi man's tide of the case?" "No", bIb," said the 'Squire, "'the proie cutlon is all that I will hear." "What's the use of a hearing then," re torted the attorney, "if w will not be per mitted to prove that the man was not near the place on the day of the riot." "The State's side of the cae is fill that I will hear," concluded the 'Squire. The bond of $2,000 was then signed by Patrick Fallon and the three men went ont. Later, on the -street, Mr. Madden said: "In all my experience at the bar I have never before heard an Alderman talk like that." "" DIED A HATUEAI, DEATH. The Accuser or John Harrison's Daughter a Weak Minded Woman. Greenville, Pa., Aug. 3L The Coroner's Jury in the case of John Harri son concluded taking testimony to-day, and found that he had died from natural causes. The body was re-interred without an ex amination, as it was so decomposed that nothing could be told from an examination. The missing witness, Callle' Bicbardson, was captured during the night. She testi fied that Mrs. Cochran had promised her a silk dresi if she would get the laudanum the day Mr. Harrison took sick, and that Mrs. Cochran gave her father a large dose of it. The witness contradicted herself several times, and was, also, contradicted by others. She appears to be weak minded. It Is not known whether or not the District At torney will push the case any further. BUSINESS BREVITIES. . t Illinois corn prospects Imnroved last week.
