He was also positive thai he saw Jams spit tobacco juice while he was hang up. In essential matters he corroborated lams. Another private of Company K, Robert V. Kent, who was on guard when the hang-ing-up occurred, told a very similar story, but hadn't such a good opportunity to see whether lams' feet touched the ground, or indeed to tell generally whether the punish ment had been cruel He also told how lams was drummed out of camp. The next witness was A. F. Myers, corporal in Com pany K, and all the' difference in his evi dence from the others was that he had posted the guard to keep back men of the company who wanted to see the punishment of lams. He couldn't testily positively as to how much lams suffered. Private Kent was recalled and subjected to exhaustive pumping by the Common wealth, as a result of which he told how on the Mondav night after the lams incident he had heard Colonel Streator say at the britrade headquarters to Colonel Hawkins and Adjntant Hays that lams had better keep out of his way, or he (Colonel Streator) would shoot him, as he could hit him at 40 yards. 1-ad Heard of lams Threats. Under cross-examination by Mr. Braden and Judge Porter, the witness said Colonel Streator's remark was connected with lams' presence in Homestead, as Colonel Streator believed, with the purpose of kill ing him. A rumor to that effect had flown about the camp. John H.

Three minutes after being cut down lams was a pretty sick man, witness said. 15y Dr. Grimm's orders he gave lams a dose of whisky with six drops of ammonia, rubbed his hands to promote circulation, for they were cold, poured cold water on his heal and did all he could to revive him. Dr. Grimm afterward told Glad den that lams' sickness was caused by his swallowing achew of tobacco. lams lay very still in Giadden's presence, and, though the medicine revived him, half an hour later he was still pretty sick. Glad den felt his pulse at this time and found it about 65. Under Mr. Braden's cross-fire Gladden did not weaken very mnch, the tact coming out that lams was unable to take the medicine glass from Giadden's hand and Gladden had to administoi u.

"Worley, of the same company, told of the prosecutor's calamitous experience. The former was one of the detail that guarded lams w hen he was drummed out, and the only important corroboration of preceding witnesses for lams in the latter's evidence was the statement of Lieutenant "Worley that when lams was cut down his eyes were shut and his face paler than usual. Lieutenant Worley also assisted in chaGng lams' hands. E. E. CritchQeld, Inspector of Rifle Practice in the Tenth Keginient, told upon "the stand how, as aide de camp on Colonel 11a. kins' staff, he had carried the report of lams first punishment to Major General Snou den, and had brought back that report to Colonel Hawkins with the indorsement upon it "dUcharze him in disgrace, drum drum him out of camp. and send him home." The witness added: "When Major-General Snowden handed me the paper he said, 'As a turther mark of humiliation and dis grace I order that halt the prisoner's head be shaved. I carried the paper and gave it with the oral oider to Colonel Haukins." Objection to the oral order being considered iu evidence was made, but o erruled. Interested in tlio Operation. The witness also told how he had seen lams strung up, a sight he had never seen before, and w hicli interested him as he Major General Snowden. wanted to see how it was done. He said lams' heels were but three-fouMths ot an inch from ti:e ground and was going to show the jury how comfortable lams' position wa when" the Court inter posed. Mr. "Watson started in to rattle the witness. He asked Mr. Critchfield if there were not the words "second indorsement" on the naner he carried from Rnnu-ripn in Hawkins. The witness replied hotly that. tie uau meuuueu tue paper exnioiiea in court as the report he had carried to and from division headquarters. Pressed to say if he did not bring another paDer Mr. Critchfield said indistinctly that he didn't know. Then came the question and answer about military education which disturbed the Court so painfully.

Two Allegheny Men Get Into the I ockup on the toys' Account. GATES AND STEPS COYETED PRIZES Modern witches, fairies, spirits and gob lins were nearly as plentiful last night as the stars which studded the clear heavens. They were everywhere, a-d to escape their attacks was impossi ble. Everything movable was theirs and that which was stationary was open to attack. This fairy land pop ulace traveled in squads, companies, regiments and brigades, armed with an un surpassable nerve and a plentiful supply of corn, cabbage roots, tick-tacks and a hun dred other Deaee-disturbing devices. To walk alone in a quiet East End street could onlybe compared to beardinga lion in its den. Even a pedestrian on Fifth avenue was safe only when he had police protection. Home had no privacies last night, for its peace was liable to be disturbed at any moment by a fusilade of corn or the incessant rapping of a tick-tack. "While these pranks were being played, ten chances to one, the front gate was going down the street. If this man, who was trying to spend an evening at home, happened to have a vehicle, he will probablv be adver tising in The Dispatch's "lost" columns to-morrow. The American family is progressive in many things, but in the way of observing Halloween it does not modernize mnch. At least the jokes which young Pittsburgers worked off last night were the same their forefathers played. At all events the boys m The Steps Must Go. and girls had their fun, and got jnst as much pleasure out of these timeworn tricks as though they were the production of a brain of to-day. "ut Vendors Made to Treat. The fruit and nut stands in the down town districts were the scene of many at tacks last night. Crowds of oddly costumed urchins, with blackened faces, visited all the vendors and made life miserable to them until they treated. They were armed with anything that would make a noise. Some tooted horns, others jerked horse fiddles, while still another crowd cried themselves hoarse in uttering "nuts!" "nuts!" This was kept up until the stand keeper produced and then the foragers marched on another business place. Another thing, which had to be borne be cause it was Halloween, happened fre quently on Fifth avenue last night Misses just budding into girlhood were scattered through the crowd. Their months were filled with peas. Watching for a good op portunity they would shoot their peas at some unsuspecting dude's head. Occasion ally one of their own sex would be singled out for bombardment. Each time their bullets struck a fair one, her blood was raised and in several cases unpleasantnesses were narrowly avoided. Gates Locked Up for the Night. In the East End these witches of a night did everything that they could think of that would cause trouble and annoy ance. People who had gates which were movable took them into the house and locked them up as they would their dia monds. This was done with many other articles, but still there was plenty left for the small boy to take possession of. Front steps seemed to be one of the tilings coveted by the Halloween celebra tors. It was scarcely dark last night until the squad doing business on Broad street sallied out for their night's work. The leader was armed with an ax and without warning he commenced an attack on a pair of steps ot a house just above Xegley ave- One Way Jo Tell a Fortune. nne, while the others set up a howl. From the noise, the occupants of the house thought they were being attacked by a band of Sioux Indians. The police had to be called to chase the boys away. righting for His Boy's Bights. W. L.

His boose was bombarded for quite awhile and then he chased the boys. A son of H. C Meering, a nearby grocer, was caught. Young Meering was dragged to his father, but the boy's father thought the other cel ebrators were as much to blame as his off spring. This caused a fight between the two men. The finale was the lockup and a hearing this morning. On Webster avenue, Allegheny, the boys commenced their pranks early in the day. A Specimen of Juvenile Blackmad. Gates and steps were taken away. In one case the stoop was taken away from a house, the door of which is considerably above the street. Tho only way the occupants had of getting out and in was to use a chair. Some boys pulled a wagon onto the Pitts burg, Allegheny and Manchester tracks, on Beaver avenue, last night and left it there. A car came down and run into the vehicle. No damage was done beyond shaking up the passengers. HLV. MB. NORTON DEAD. A "Well-Known Minister of the Christian Church Goes to His Maker. Ker. L. E. Norton, the father-in-law of E. D.

A STAFF OFFICER IN THE TOWN Investigating the Dp Condition There. of Affairs A CONFERENCE OF 60ME IMPORTANCE The unsettled condition of affairs at Homestead is just now demanding the at tention of the military authorities of the State, and there is considerable talk of again concentrating the militia at that point It was reported yesterday that the Governor's attention had been called to the many assaults that have been made on non-union workmen there since the troops were removed. Dr. Foster, whose son was recently attacked and beaten, wrote the Governor that the troops are necessary, and as a result the Governor referred the matter to the proper military authori ties for investigation. As a result Major Hartranft, of Major General Snow den's staff, is now in Homestead, quietly watching the progress of affairs there. He arrived there on Sunday afternoon and he has been there ever since. Major General Snowden is himself in Pittsburg. He at tended the lams trial yesterday, bnt it is generally believed that he, too, is here in re gard to the Homestead disturbances. Commanding Officers Confer. General Snowden, General Wylie, Colonel McKibbin and Colonel Hawkins held a con ference at the Duquesne Club yesterday. They refused to sav what they were con sidering. General Snowden said he had come to Pittsburg to witness the trial of Colonel Streator and others charged with assaulting Private lams. Major Hartranft, however, said to a Dis patch reporter that he was going to Home stead to investigate the conditions there. He also said the military authorities were fearful that it would yet be necessary to again order the troops there. Major Hartranft's report will be made to General Snowden probably to-day and will then be transmitted to the Governor for action. Hill, the boss blacksmith of the Home stead mill returned to work yesterday; also four men who ere lormerly shearmen. They were told that their place's had been filled but were offered positions as laborers, which they refused, At the same time they were told to return to-day for further con sultation. A member of the firm in offering mem laDorers, positions stated that the chief difficulty in operating the plant is the absence of yard laborers. The Hebrew workmen proved too lazy and the average Yankee would not remain at the job lor more than three weeks. Slavs alone seem fitted for the heavy work ot handling metal In a yard. t Those workmen is harder to get than is supposed. Another Assault Yesterday. There was one assault yesterday and the assailants had a lenet'hv run lor shelter. George H. Snowden, a collector lor a Pitts burg baker named Grist, left the train at Mnnhall station at 6 o'clock. He proceeded up the pike when a sudden scurrving of feet caused him to turn around. As he did so tour men dashed by him. closely pur sued by three others. The pursuer caught np to him and stopped. One ancrilv re marked, as he looked at the disappearing quartet: "Who in are you?" Snowden explained that he was not a mill worker, when one man interrupting him. said: ""You have no business here anv- I'll that j.o Ua.e." He struck at Snowden, who jumped back, and then two companions of the man with held him. At the same time two deputy sherifls appeared on a run and the three men fled. There was considerable excitement in Homestead yesterday over the appearance of a gentleman who registered at the Hotel Amity as "H. Sando, London, Eng." Mr. Sands hunted up A. F. Colgan, J. Schultz, Miller Colgan, Joseph Skewis, T. W. Brown, E. J. Atwood .ind Dr. Gladden. He represented that he was an advance agent for a party of cauitalists in London, Phila delphia, Washington and Baltimore who would build a co-ODerative steel nlant on the Hays estate, tit Hays station. All he wanted was co-operation on the part of the locked-out men. After a lengtby consulta tion he departed, as he said, for the East to interview Eastern capitalists and would re turn on Thursday. May Spoil tho Scheme. Mr. Sando was seen at the Union depot fast evening. He was surprised when he heard that somebody had leaked about his plans. He said the talk was premature, and would hurt the enterprise. He claimed he represented considerable English and American capital, ana ne was anxious to know how the public regarded the strike, and whether the people would support a new venture. He thought it too bad that such a body of skilled men should be idle, and he hopes to employ them. He admitted that he con trolled, valuable irou lands in Virgiuia that he intended to put on the market. He had been in Chicago, and thought he would stop oS on his way East to see some of the Homestead men. He is favorably im pressed. The 33-inch mill, which was shut down to put in new pipes, will probably be placed in operation by the beginning of next week. EXPENSIVE ETO FOB THE BOYS, SI or Them Arrested and the Police Aro After So eral More. Six boys, ranging in age from 15 to 18 years, are confined in the Nineteenth ward police station for the fun they have been having the past few davs. At the foot of Larimer avenue a 24-inch setter is being constructed. Sunday night it is charged the boys broke into the tool box and stole 20 half-pound dynamite cartridges and a number of caps. Proceeding to the middle of Larimer avenue bridge they begau throwing the cartridges over the bridge into King's hollow below, a distance ot over 100 feet. The cartridges exploded with a leport like a cannon, shaking houses in the vicinity and breaking windons and dishes in the neighborhood. About a half dozen bombs were thrown. In addition to tins., it is said, they destroyed 150 piece's of the twenty- lour-mcn terra-cotta sewer pipe. Last night their depredations took a new form. A light Bpring wagon and a heavy two-horse wagon were taken to the foot of ftirk avenue and shoved over the hill. They were completely demolished. On their wav back with a third wagoj, the boys were surprised by Captain White house and Detective Bendle. Several boys cot away, but Joseph Dietrich, Frank Mer cer, George Horsefield, Charles Fraqcis, Arthur Bell and George Lauet were cap tured. ' i The others will be captured to-day. It is alleged that the boys did over 52,000 dam agel PAfJF Tfl.nAV ! V Ull I RUMOR OP A PREMIUM On Oil "Which Was to Be Placed To-Day Circumstances "Which Led Producers ' to Believe the Report-Conference of National Transit Officials. In some mysterious manner a rumor gained circulation yesterday among the oil men that the National Transit Company wonld place a premium this morning on McDonald oil. The report was said by John Fisher to have originated in Oil City. The present market value of petroleum is 50 ,. cents a barrel, and a premium wonld come to the oil operators like the manna to the wanderers in the desert. Unless some unforseen acci dent occurs, the Crescent Pipe line will be pumping oil through from McDonald to Marcus Hook, its shipping point on the Delaware, before the end of the week. The Crescent gets its oil in the McDonald field, and it was this fact which led many to sup pose the report was based on something authentic. Another featnre which gave color to the rumor was the arrival in Pittsburg last evening of Joseph Seep, of Titusville, who has control of all the purchasing offices of the National Transit Company; C N. Payne, of Titusville, Chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee; J. E. Campbell, of Oil City, Treasurer of the National Transit, and Henry McSweeney, of Oil City, the attorney of the company. The first three named held a conference at the Monongahela House last evening, with a fourth party whose identity could not be learned. They were also in communica tion with Thomas Chester, the agent for the company in Pittsburg. Mr. "Chester said early in the evening that if such a step was to be taken he knew nothing of it, and thought that if it was to be done to-day he would have been informed. A couple of years ago there was a premium of 25 cents a barrel on Washington oil. It was subsequently cut to 20 and later to 15 cents, and about a year and a half ago it was chopped off alto gether. The actions of the company at that time were enveloped in the deepest mys tery until it was ready to spring the trap, and the chances are that if it contemplates putting a premium on any oil it will not make the matter public until the official notices arc posted. SWEET SADIE SCANLAN DEAD. She Was to Appear In This City Next Week, but Died at Midnight A telegram was received at midnight an nouncing the death in New York of Sadie J. Scanlan, 'rho was to appear at the Du quesne Theater next week. The news was a surprise, as at 9 o'clock a telegram had announced that her condition was much im proved and she would be here next week. Miss Scanlan was 21 years of age. She was a sister of W. J. Scanlan, the actor, and this was her second season as a star. It has been a successful one, bnt had been sus pended during the election excitement Her illness was of short duration, her manager, C J. Walker, who has been in the city for several days, receiving his first intimation of it yesterdav morning. The company will be disbanded, but the Dnquesne Theater management are negotiating with three good companies and will have the house open as usual. FSEE FIGHT AT CHABTIEBS.

The Police Are Now Looking for Schwarz- man TTno Swindled Goldberg Ont of 81,800 The Specimens Were the Klzht Stuff: A IiU3sian Hebrew, who gave nia name as Schwarzman, came to this city a week ago, and yesterdav swindled Mr. Goldberg out of 51,800 in cash by selling him alleged gold dust which turned out to be brass. The police are now hunting for Schwarz man who disappeared suddenly. When he came to the city he engaged boarding at a house on Wylie avenue, near Fulton. He said he had come from Moscow direct to this city and intended to open an establish ment tor the purchase and sale of old gold and silver. He had a lot of old gold with him, some of it broken jewelry, some of it dust. The half dozen boarders were allowed to inspect his stock, and it made their eyes dance. He had a peck of it. An acquaint ance of the woman who kept the house, one Goldberg, was told of the wealth of Mr. Schwarzman, and that he would sell some of his gold at a low figure to permit his friends to resell it and make a little money. Goldberg is a second-hand dealer, and has quite an extensive little shop on Forbes near Pride street, and by thrift has accnmnlated a little bank account. He entered into negotiations with Schwarzman for the purchase of some of his stock, ancfto make sure that the gold was all right, was allowed to take a lot of it to Samuel Bock, a manufacturing jeweler at 3G Fifth ave nue, to learn its quality. Mr. Bock, after testing it, decided tbe spec men to be of the very finest quality. This satisfied Goldberg, and yesterday he took a quan tity of the dust from Schwarzman, who weighed him ont an amount equal to 51,800. Goldberg expected to realize 100 per cent on the stuff. To make sure that it had been weighed all right, he took the whole of it to Mr. Bock, but the minute he saw the stuff he knew it was not gold. To satisfy Mr. Goldbsrg, however, he applied the test, and told him he had bought a lot of brass. Goldberg went back to the boarding house on a run and announced that he had been swindled. The boarding house mistress fell in a faint, and her sister nearly followed suit. They had each loaned Schwarzman ?30, and he stepped out of the houBe to get his shoes blacked. He did not return, and the police were asked to look for him. He is a short, heavy set Hebrew, about 36 years of age, and claims to be unable to speak English. A FATAL ACCIDEHT. John Baker Shot by a Companion While Hunting Rabbits. Coroner McDowell was notified last night that John Baker, a boy of 18 years, had been shot and killed at Cochran's Mills, on the Wheeling branch ot the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Young Baker, with John Pillman and William Grimes, was out rab bit hunting. About 6 o'clock the three hunters chased a rabbit, which ran into a hole. The trio gathered around and were trying to dislodge the animal when one of the gun 8 was accidentally discharged. The load struck Baker and killed him instantly.
