FIRST CASE OP THE KIND
' IN THE STATE'S HISTORY.
Information Made by DetectiTe'Bellzuoover
Under the Direction of the
Carnegie Attorneys.
rive of the Committee Are Now in Jail
They Were Picked TJp in Homestead
Lost Night The Movement an Entire
Surprise to the Strikers They Be
came Indignant and the Prisoners
Were Brought to Pittsburg for Fear
an Attempt Would Be Made to Rescue
Them Treasurer Caches Arrested in
Pittsburg He Had a Big Boll of
Money in His Pocket Burgess Mc
Iiuckie in Youngstown, but Says He
Is Coming Back.
The Carnegie Iron and Steel Company
played its highest tramp card yesterday.
The whole Homestead Advisory Committee
is to be arrested for treason against the
State of Pennsylvania. Last night Thomas
J. Crawford, George Eylands, John
Dierken, William H. Bayard, X. W. Brown
and W. H. Gaches were picked up in
Homestead. As Hugh O'Donnell, Jack
Clifford and Issic Critchlow are now
in jail awaiting trial for murder, there re
mains but 24 of the Advisory Committee to
be arrested.
County Detective Beltzhoover, at -the re
quest of the Carnegie Company, made the
information before Chief Justice Paxson at
ylhe jtfonougahela Buee. Or the oih of
the, detective the Judge issued a personal
'warrant to any constable or the Sheriff for
the arrest ot the Homestead Board.
' 'This will be the first case of treason ever
tried in the State ot Pennsylvania," said P.
C Knox last night "In fact, there was
sever anything exactly similar. The only
case coming near it was the proceedings
growing out of the French Commune.
As Interesting as Burr's Trial.
"This case will attract as much, if not
more interest, than did the famous trial of
Aaron Burr. We are bringing these pro
ceedings to see whether the laws of Penn
' gylvania or the edicts of the Home
stead Advisory Committee are to
rule this Commonwealth. The com
mittee took the law in their own
hands, ignoring the Government of the
State. We think this constitutes treason.
The charge is a grave one, and comes before
a full bench of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania. To show its gravity, Judge Pax
son onlv arrived in Pittsburg Thursday,
and to-night he issued the warrants for
the arrest of these men. The maxi
mum 'sentence a man can receive
for treason is 12 years in the penitentiary.
The cases may come up immediately, or it
may be some time before they are heard.
Ii the prisoners demand a hearing tiev
will get it at once. The crime is bailable,
tbe amount of the bond being fixed by
Chief Justice Paxson. It is hard to
say what the bail will be,
but in all probability it will
be very heavy, 'owing to the seriousness of
the charge. Several days ago a Philadel
phia Judge handed down a decision against
a number of strikers. They had been in
terfering with other workmen, and the
Jndge hinted that it was treason."
Chairman Frick at Krst Objected.
Since away back in August this treason
charge has been pending. When the
Homesteaders were arrested for con
spiracy, the attorneys wanted to follow it
with a charge of treaspn. To this Chairman
Frick objected, and the idea was dropped
i for awhile. About a month ago it was de
cided to proceed with the treason charge,.
' and have it ready to spring as a grand
finale. Every movement of tbe company
and its attorneys in this matter
has been of the most secret
nature. The bill was printed at the Frank
lin printing office in the dead of night, and
everything to keep it from the public ear
was done. Until Judge Paxson issued his
warrants yesterday afternoon, but few had
heard of it It is safe to say that this
move was not even thought ot by the Home
stead strikers.

CREATED A SENSATION.
The Arrests or the Men Put Homestead in
an Uproar The Prisoners Were Brought
to Pittsburg for Fear They Would Bo
Rescued.
The arrests of the men created a great
sensation in Homestead. They came like
a thunderbolt to the strikers. They were
so suddenly made and so unexpected. The
prisoners were chatting at street corners
when they'were taken. The officers were
Detectives Mills and Farrell and Deputies
Young, Brady, Devlin, Kreps and Ward.
It was late in the afternoon when the war
rants reached Homestead and were placed
in the hands of the officers to serve. They
started out at 0 o'clock and first caught
Crawford and Dierker, who were hurried to
the provost guard tents. The others were
caught in quick succession before the strik
ers bad time to realize what was happening.
As the prisoners were speeded to tbe prison
tents, alarm was taken and many strikers
hastened toward the guard, bat were held
back aud denied all information. It was
intended first to keep the prisoners all
night and hunt lor strikers, but thrnugh
fear' of an attempt of rescue they were
brought to Pittsburg at 11 o'clock and
landed in jaiL
At the station a crowd of 150 angry if
surprised men assembled with astonishing
rapidity, and their determined looks caused
apprehension. Two deputies tried to keep
them back, but by the time the train ar
rived they had almost surrounded the
group of prisoners and officers. When the
train pulled out a sullen jeer of defiance
went up, and Chairman Crawford said;
"They can persecute us, but they can't
make us go to work."
It was believed in Homestead that the
object ot the arrests is to get the leaders out
ot the way so that the others will go to
work.
WILLIAM GACHES ARRESTED.
Ho Was Hurrying for the Train When
Caught by the Officers.
' William Gaches, Treasurer of the Home
stead Belief Committee, was arrested last
night by Detectives O. F. Mills and Pat
Farrell as he was on his way to take the
bummer train for Homestead. The detec
tives were instructed to go after Gacber,
and were walking down Diamond street to
take the stefts to theFourthavenue station.
When they arrived U front of the school,
house they overtook Gaches, who was hur
rying in the same direction,
"Detective Mills went up to him and said:
"Hello, Gaches, you're just the man we're
looking for."
Gaches thought the officers were fooling
him, but this was soon dispelled by the pro
duction of the warrant Gaches said he
didn't want to go to jail, but when told that
some of his partners were within
tbe enclosure, took it more kindly.
He wanted the officers to take him
to some man named Johnston, but tljey told
him they were compelled to deliver him to
Warden, McAleese who could do as he
pleased abont the matter. When "he ar
rived in jail he pulled oat large roll of
' PITTSBURG,
bills and offered to leave it as a forfeit if
they would let him otE Warden McAleese
called one of the deputies, and after search
ing Gaches, taking charge of the money he
had, assigned him to a cell
TWO STRIKERS ARRESTED.
Tho Warrants Were Sworn Out by Secre
tary Lovejoy Four Companies at the
. Sixteenth Regiment Leave Homestead
Chairman Frick Again Visit the Works.
"Detective Mills to-dav arrested and took
to Pittsburg G. L. and H. Layman, who are
charged by Secretary Lovejoy with aggra
vated riot It is understood that about 30
other persons ate to be arrested for com
plicity in the riot when they can be found.
Four companies of the Sixteenth Regiment
were removed from Homestead yesterday.
There was very little show or demonstra
tion arid no hostilities. A man
named Baenger, who was refused admissiub
to the mill in the morning through being
drunk, caused a little disturbance at Mun-
hall station by shouting at the scabs. But
for the interference of ft couple of Deputy
Sheriffs the fellow would. have fared badly.
. Chairman TT. O. Trick" visited the works
yesterday and spent a good deal of time ex
amining tne plant A number oi men were
discharged and an equal number were em
ployed. All the undesirable men
in the mill are being Weeded out by Man
ager Potter, who is filling their places
with competent werkerf who are applying
for jobs dally. So far 700 have been dis
charged altogether and over S00 hired.
That the non-union workmen are not en
tirely without fear yet of the strikers was
illustrated by a story from a coal and iron
police. One of the mill workers who
had gone to Pittsburg came back on
the midnight train half intoxicated.
He made his way to the bunkhouse
where he and 30 others slept On entering
he yelled: "The strikers are climbing over
the fence to attack you." Instantly there
was a wild scramble to get out; Borne
jumped out ot windows and others rushed
half dressed through the door, all panic
stricken. There are a large number of
colored families living in Shanty Hill row,
and when they saw the militia go they
were much alarmed.
M'LUCKIE GOES AWAY.
He and His Family Quietly Go Out of Town
In tho Night
A dispatch from Youngstown, "0., last
rtigbi said: The Pittsburg papers to-day
bring -tbe report that Burgess McLuckie
contemplates leaving Homestead and lo
cating at Youngstown. He was seen in
this city and asked his Intentions in the
matter. He was emphatic in the statement
that he bad no intention of going away
from Homestead, adding that he intends to
return home Saturday or Sunday.
Despite this story, one of the'prosecution
in the Homestead cases last night said:
"McLuckie last Wednesday night removed
his household effects from Homestead,
and he and his whole family left town.
They told conflicting stories about
their future home. One member of the
family said it would be in Philadelphia,
while McLuckie said they would reside in
Ohio, nevertheless we know where to lav
our hands on the Burgess when we want
him."
THE JUDGE WOULDN'T TALK.
Justice Paxson Said He Never Expresses
' Opinions About a Case Off the Bench.
Chief Justice Paxson, who issued tbe war
rants for tbe Homesteaders, when seen at
the Monongahela House last night? declined
to discuss the subject in any phase. The
distinguished gentleman was in a pleasant
mood, but when questioned on that point,
said:
"I make it a practice never to talk about
any case which comes before me, or in
which mt duty calls me to take part, before
I am ready to speak officially."
A PINKERTON MEASURE.
Congressman Gillespie Has a Bill to Regu
late the Appointment of Deputy Sheriffs

Like That at Homestead.
Congressman E. P. Gillespie, of the Bea
ver Valley district, has prepared a bill
which Is intended to cover the employment
of Pinkertons 'and deputy sheriffs, with 'a

at Homestead. He thinks that the measure

cussion, but presents the following as his
view of wholesome legislation on the sub
ject: An act to regulate the applntment and pre
scribe the qualifications or special deputy

Quebec, Sept. 30. The royal commission
investigating the charges of corruption

ifter Hours of Work.
THE FATE OP TEX JIEX TET UNDECIDED
f rECTA.1. TXLianAJt TO THE DtsrATCff.l
Ironwood, Mich.. Sept 30. All
through the long hours of last night the
work of tbe rescuers of the entombed men
at the Norrie mine progressed, the men be
ing spurred on to greater efforts by the dis
tant soundings which came from the ctved
in rooms In which the 11 unfortunate men
were imprisoned. At 5 o'clock this morn
ing a faint voice was beard from the dark
recesses of the further of the first rooms and
he efforts of the diggers were bent in the
direction from which the sound seemed to
come.
At 8:30, nearly four hours after the man's
voice was first heard, he was rescued by his
fellow workers, carried to the shaft and
iaken to the surface in the ore bucket from
depth of 400 feet. Abraham Thompson, a
KatvregiaWtiineTfSTBS the man,' and he was
taken to the hospital: ''He is greatly ex
hausted, buf ' passed through his 30 hours'
imprisonment without injury. He saya he
has not heard of any of the other ten men.
i Not a Wink of Warning.
He was standing alone when the crash
came, and thinks most of the others were in
the second room, which, he says, caved in
first, and was followed almost immediately.
by the ground tailing in the room wnere he
stood.
No words have been heard from the caved
chambers since Thompson has been taken
out, and it is greatly feared that the other
ten are lost The names of the trammers
and timbermeu cannot yet be learned. Be
side the four minen whose names were pub
lished yesterday, ahd the three timbermeh
and two trammers whose names are un
known, the list of victims includes Simon
Yaokliu, foreman of the timber crow, and
Michael Downs, the skip tender.
Only four men can work at one time in
the narrow drafts. Their eight-pound ham
mers ply like the pistons of an engine upon
the steel drill. Other men sliovel the iron
ore as though it were cornmeal. At the
end of five minutes, their shirts dripping
with perspiration, these men drop their
tools, which are grasped before they touch
the rocky lloorof the narrow drift by other
men equally brave and strong.
Steady Work of Determined Men.
So it has gone on since G a. m. yesterday,
without loss of a second's time. Hammer
heads fall ceaselessly upon the drill, shovels
and picks are plied as only they can be" by
men who know that upon their efforts may
depend" the life or death of fellow workmen.
So incessant and so noble has been the work
that what' would have taken six days of
ordinary work has been done since yester
day morning.
The scenes about the mouth of No. 8 shaft
have been most harrowing. Wives, chil
dren and friends of the entombed miners,
waiting in heart-breaking suspense for news
of their loved ones, have moved strong men
to tears by their supplications. In agony
of spirit they watch. The deep suspense is
sympathetic When a man emerges from
the latal shaft he is surrounded by tbe half
demented wives and children, who implore
him to tell them that the lost are found
that they have been heard from through the
rocky walls of the mine.
Such is the interest taken in the fate of
these 12 men, unknown to most, that busi
ness has almost suspended to-day, and hun
dreds will not go to bed to-night unless the
men are found.
TWO TERRIBLE TYPHOONS.

THEY ARE RUNNING IN THE HOME
MRS. MARSH IS COMING.
Her Husband Engages Counsel to Defend
Her She Claims to Be Anxious to Re
turn to Pittsburg and Have a Speedy
Trial.
New Yobk, Sept. 30. tSpcriot
Sheriff Muller, of Staten Island, to-day re
ceived a telegram from the Chief of Police
of Pittsburg stating that Detectives Coul
son and Robinson, of that city, would leave
at Ohce for New York with requisition
papers for Mrs. Jennie Marsh and James
H. Mcintosh, who were arrested at Staple
ton Monday as fugitives from .justice.
Sheriff Muller thought the prisoners would
not be taken to court before Monday.
Later in the day a telegram was received at
the jail in Richmond for Mrs. Marsh. The
Sheriff opened it and it read:
PrrrsBORO, Sept 30.
Wire me when you leave. Have engaged
counsel. Habby.
It was shown to Mrs. Marsh, but she said
she would not answer it until ihe started
for Pittsburg. There has been no change in
the demeanor of either of the prisoners.
Both assert their innocence of the charges
brought against them, and seem to be anx
ious to go to Pittsburg and have a speedy
trial.
Among other things secured by the offi
cers who searched the effects of Mrs. Marsh
and Mcintosh-was a letter, found in the
Tottenville house, from Mcintosh to Mrs.
Marsh, in which Mcintosh said they should
feel thankful for their, success in eettlng
out of the Weir scrapel It is also said that
a peculiar scarfpin was found which was
recognised by Mr. JTehl as having belonged
to Gamble Weir. Mclntosh-was questioned
about this, but stoutly denied that eitherhe
or Mrs. Marsh evef posfessed'apin.

IN FREE TRADE ENGLAND.
Spinners' Wages Bedneed and a Strike Wel
comed to Get Bid of Stocks.
iloNDGir, Sept 30. Seventy-seven per
cent of the mast cotton spinners of England
to-day decided to enforce a leduction of 6
per cent in wages. The men stubbornly re
fuse to accept the proposed reduction, and
intend to strike.
It is generally admitted in Manchester
that the stoppage of work will not be a bad
thing for the trade, as it will enable the
spinners to reduce their present heavy
stocks.
The decision to reduce wages' affects 17,

Racine, Wis., Sept 30. A pathetic'
incident to-day marked the progress of the
severe epidemic of diphtheria which, dur
ing the last two weeks, has oarried off many
children and has caused the closing of sev
eral of the public schools. Two weeks ago
the family of Peter Heldt consisted of

The oldest daughter contracted 'the dis
ease at a funeral. She died September 19.
The remaining children, one by one, came

BRAVE DR. STANHOPE.
Tho American Who Was Inoculated Against
Cholera Arrives in Berlin.
Beblin, Sept 30. Dr. A. Stanhope, who
was inoculated with cholera virus in Paris,
and who subsequently served as a nurse In
one of the Hamburg cholera hospitals, ar
rived here to-day. He is well and hearty,
and attributes his escape from' cholera en
tirely to the inoculation he underwent'
against it ,
He was refused admission at several of
the hotels, as the proprietors were afraid
there was danger from infection. Luckily,
Stanhope had some American friends in the
city, and when they learned of his annoy
ing experience at the hotels, they hastened
to offer him the use of thtir private apart
ments. "Seven new cases of cholera and
three deaths are reported in Brussels.

BHOEBOX MILLER'S SHARE OP THE W0EI
rSntCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TffE DISPATCFtl
New Yobk, Sept 30. A warrant for the
arrest of .Eugene Mitkiewicz was issued by
Police Justice Grady to-day. It is based on
a complaint sworn to by Arthur L. Tomes,
of 502 Classon avenue, Brooklyn. It charges
Mitkiewicz with "cheating and fraud," and
tells how Tomes mortgaged his home to
supply lunds for a messengerwhom Mitkie
wicz alleged he and Elliot F. Shepard had
sent to China to induce the Emperor to
withdraw his objections to Mr. Shepard's
candidate for the Ministership to China,
Henry W. Blair.
Mitkiewicz yesterday told a Dispatch
reporter that he should not attempt -to
avoid arrest, but would, if asked, come to
New York and deliver himself up. Lawyer
Thompson, who is acting for Mr. Tomes in
the criminal proceedings, said yesterday
that he thought it quite likelr that the
''Count" would not attempt to escape, as he
knew he had been carefully watched by of
ficers for a week.
The operations of Mitkiewicz appear to
have taken a continental scope. A Dis
patch reporter to-day learned that H. V.
Bemis, proprietor of the Hotel Richelieu,
Chicago, is a victim of the Chinese conces
sion scheme, and was worked heartily by
Mitkiewicz.
Operations of tho Count in Chicago.
In the summer of 1891 the "Count" and
the ex-convict "Shoebox" Miller, of Pitts-
burg, were in Chicago, on some business
connected with the sending of Millard Jones
to China. It was pretended there was a
reason why Jones should be concealed in
Chicago, but whether he was or was not
hidden, "Shoebox" Miller and the "Count"
failed to hide their lights. They beamed
upon Host Bemij, of the RIchelfeu, and
were soon on such friendly terms with him
that they offered to let him into their great
Chinese concession scheme.
Mr. Bemis appeared glad to get in, to the
extent of a note for $5,000, which he gave
them, "not for use, but for accommodation."
They brought the note to New York and
offered it to R. J. Horner. He knew Bemis
to be a wealthy man, and after taking the
precaution to wire Bemis, asking if he had
given the note and it it was all right, and
receiving a satisfactory reply Horner dis
counted the note. He applied 51,500 of the
amount to the credit of Mitkiewicz's account
for furniture, and the "Count" and Miller
took $3,500 cash. Miller made a great fuss
about having any part of the amount of the
note applied to tbe payment of Mitkiewicz's
debts. He seemed to think it a foolish
waste of good money.
Shoebox Miller the Count's Partner.
Miller at that time was a co-worker of
the "Count" in securing investors in the
Chinese investment scheme. He, like the
"Count," asserted positively that part of
all the money secured was paid to the Chi
nese Minister. At one time he wired to
Mr. Horner from Washington that $5,000
bad just been ftaid to the Minister. Law
yer Burke avers that he has evidence that
the Chinese Minister deposited 55,000 in
the Metropolitan Bank of Washington on
tire day Miller said that sum was paid.
This iine of investigation is anxiously
watched by thote who have given money to
the "Count" They profess to believe that
their investments can all be recovered from
the Chinese Government, if a direct con
nection can be established between the
"Count" and the Minister in this scheme.
A msn who has had experience in diplo
matic affairs said to-day: "There is no
Government on earth so punctilious about
the conduct of its diplomatic representa
tives 'as China. Onlr their most trusted
officials are sent to diplomatic posts, and
for that reason I believe that Mitklewiw
has misrepresented the Minister in this
matter, as everybody else. However, if it
is proved that the Chinese jmnlster to tms
country has taken money on the pretense
that he could or would further the 'Count's'
efforts to secure Chinese concessions, his
Government will make full restitution of
every cent involved. If that is the ease. I
pitv the Minister. Cuttine off the head of
an unfaithful public official is not a politi
cal figure of speech in China."
Small Game Better Than None.
The "Count" was not above small game
when bi? game was scarce. There is an
English bookkeeper employed in Mr.
Horner's store. He is a cautious man and
observing. He frequently imparted to his
employer his firm belief that the "Count"
was a swindler and urged Mr. Horner not
to trust him any further. Mitkiewicz one
day called to see Mr. Horner. Mr. Horner
was not in, the cautious bookkeeper said
coldly. The "Count" put his arm affec
tionately over the distrustful bookkeeper's
shoulder. In 20 minutes he walked out of
the office with $75 of the bookkeeper's
money in his waistcoat pocket
A Dispatch reporter called on Mr.
Shepard to-day to get his statement of his
connection with Mitkiewicz. The Colonel
declined to make any statement to his
caller, bnt he made this statement in the
Mail and Exprem this evening:
The particulars Deing published in respect
to certain Chinese negotiations are all fresh
news to Colonel Shepard. He never before
had any Idea that lie was represented to
Messrs. Horner, Burr or others If he was so
represented as having assumed any obliga
tion for the past, present or future in regard
to any Chinese concessions. If tliose stories
are correct It would seem that those aentlo
men went Into tbe Chinese business with
their eyes open: were willing to and did ad
vance money totry to get concessions, and
all without any connection or communica
tion, dlreot or Indirect, with Colonel Shep
ard. They seem now to regre' that they .
accepted hope as security for tbe advance
ment of money, and yet they ought not to be
so very greatly surprised, if they repeat tha
experiences of mankind In finding hope
disappointed.
