RETURNING TO WORK Former Employes of the Car negie Company Applying for Their Old Jobs. MUST SIGN AN AGEEEMENT To Obej Orders and Not to Affiliate With Labor Organizations. BEATER FALLS MEN GOING BACK. Seven Member of the Advisory Eefnsed Employment, Board THE SITUATION AT THE UNIOSf MILLS The Amalgamated men of Homestead have placed their applications for positions on file with the Carnegie Company. Early yesterday morning large crowds gathered about the office, availing Superintendent Schwab's arrival. Fully one-half tbe num ber of men who went out will eventually obtain their old positions. The introduc tion of strict discipline in the mill yester day will have a wonderful weeding-out ef fect The men are patient, and are willing to do any kind of work to wait their turn. All day long the men came in groups to Manager Schwab. The majority of the applicants were Amalgamated men. Nearly every Association man in town came to the office. Many were turned away; some were promised their positions if they should be come vacant, and a few were employed out right. Some of the members of the Advisory Committee were among the applicants. Tfaey were refused to a man. The Carnegie Company intends to treat with its employes as individuals. Bach man employed is required to sign an agree ment. The paper is an agreement between the Carnegie Steel Company and the man employed, in which he pledges himself to retrain from belonging to any labor organ ization and to be governed entirely by the rules and regulations of the company. Each department superintendent is provided v. ith these blanks and no one can be em ployed unless he signs the agreement. How Some of the 3Ien Feel. It is a peculiar tact that the men who re fused to go back to work when the company gave them notice never thought what their condition would be if the Carnegie Company was successful. They simply reasoned that even if tbey did lose they would only have to apply for their old positions and they would be reinstated. One of the men, speaking of the matter, said: "It has just begun to dawn upon us what a great amount of foresight we were devoid of. We never thought we would he put in the position we are. "Ye were led on by people who said they knew and whose advice we fol lowed. If they knew, as they said they did, why didn't they let us go back when we would have stood some chance for our positions. The greater number of the men despair of getting work in the mill and are advertising for work elsewhere. Our con dition is decidedly a bad one, and the men are only beginning to realize -where they stand." Manager Schwab issued instructions yes terday to the foremen and superintendents that they should require the men under them to adhere strictly to the rules and regulations of the company. Any breach of discipline is to be followed by immediate discharge. Taking Advantage of the Company. There have been not a few men at work in the mill for some months past who have been taking advantage of the position in which the company has been placed and have not been attending to their work as they should. The company has been in no position to enforce the discipline that is usually in vogue in its works, until the re turn of the old men. Having so many men at their disposal, it is the firm's intention to obtain the very cream; so the shift less and careless workmen and those who are not in earnest will not have a very long lease on life within the mill. The drawing of this line so tightly will give the old workmen a better chance of obtaining their old place. There will be no more playing work in the mill. There are only seven men in the Beaver Falls mill of the Carnegie Company who were blacklisted. Strange, too, they were the first seven men to apply after the de cision of the Association, Saturday. Tbe men held out until the very last minnte. The firm had'given them until Saturday to apply and have the preference. It was not until 3:30 that the. rush began on that dav. During the alternoon nearly 250 of the old men applied for work, besides a like num ber ot new men seeking employment Only the old men's applications were filed. It is said that every one ot the former workmen in town has applied for work. Those who obtained work elseThere during the etrike are coming into the office as quickly as they can obtain a day oil Starting Up at Beaver Falls. The rod department started up yesterday with a full complement of old men. "When the whistle blew yesterday morning the mill yard was crowded with men fully three" for each position vacant The super intendent selected his old crew, assigned them to their positions and after cleaning up the machinery charged the lurnaces. The first heat ' was taken out shortly after dinner time, and from that on erervthinir went as' smoothly as before. About 225 arc working in the mill at pres ent When running full 500 men are cm. ploved. The wire mill will he started in the" next week, but Superintendent Kigley thinks it will be fully two weeks before the nail mill will be operated. About one-half the men who went out will be able to obtain employment when the mill is running full. This is taking for rranted that the new men will all turn out jood workmen, which is highly improbable. Anyone who is not competent will be dis missed and his place filled by an old man. The company is giving the old men the Dreference in everything. WILL CONVENE TO-LAY. rhe American Bottlers' Association to Hold a Two Days' Session. This morning at 10 o'clock 600 delegates, epresenting the American Bottlers' Asso ciation of the United States, will meet at 7orbes Street Turner Hall in their fourth .nnual convention.

Strikers Meet but Fall to Beacb a Decision General Meeting To-Morrow Thirty Third Street Mill Foil tut Old Men Will Be riaced at Twenty.Nlntb Street The Lawrenceville steel strikers don't seem to comprehend the import of the Homestead capitulation. They have not yet declared their strike ofE They held a large meeting at Eintract Hall yesterday to decide whether they should return to work, but though they continued in session several hours failed to reach a conclusion. Some of the speakers argued against going to work, and were loudly cheered. The five Amalgamated lodges of the Lawrence ville district will meet to-morrow morning to decide the question. At the Thirty-third street mill tbe su perintendent said theyyhad all the men needed, but many old men will be taken back when vacancies occur. At the Twen ty-ninth street mill men are putting the works in order. Old men will be assigned to this mill temporarily when ther apply for work. Quite a number were fixed up yesterday. At Amalgamated headquartrs the officers were all present, bnt were evi dently concealing their leelings. No one cared to discuss Homestead except Secre tary Killgallon. He said: Tho association is well satisfied with the conduct or tlio men during the strike. While some features ot the contest n ere painful, the loyalty of the men to the association nnd the confidence' they reposed In each other and without parallel inlaoordlspute'. From the start tlio men were masters of their own destinv. nnd the association Ims confined ic self to ussUtlusr to brine about a successful termination. If it has not been able to do that. It does not reflfctnpon the power or influence or the organization. The case was one where there was vust wealth In tho hands or the Carnegie Company, whose members were determined not to listen to the J ust claims of the mer. ftt a time hen all difficulties could have i,en settled without frictlon. Leen rnjfn havenot been d(,feated because of anytJnR which thev could liav? "vojd.e.d On acconne of the enormous wea'"1 of the eorapanJ hey were able nnd did secure ln lanre nnnlbers in the great cities of th country men to come hero to work, and their wealth enabled the company to stand the expense of experirr.entlnir, which a firm less powerful would have been unable to do. The association regretted havmz to afo Into tho contest at first, as Its officers ate always disponed to iivnid such conflicts. Unfortnn. atelv such disputes must lollow our social .condition. The workincman having only his labor to depend upon In often compelled to resist a reduction to his scantv earnings. it in these contests poverty or other In conveniences force him into submission. It does not alter thejiistness o his complaint The association will use all its Influence to help those men who tnnv notfora tim he able to ecnre work. While 'or a season there will be more or less loss of time to them, our members everywhere will he ready and willing to secure situations for them where it is possible to do so. The as sociation will continue its conservative courso, and we have every reason to believe that the success which has attended its pre vlous efforts will follow it In the future. We hope hereafter both employer nnd employe, as well a( the community at large, will bo spared the pain and expense or a like con flict to tbe one just ended. Secretary Lovejoy said: "The company is naturally pleas'ed that the strike is ended, but none of the new men, if compe tent, will be discharged lor the old work ers." THEY ABE NON-COMMITTAL. Youngstown Amalgamated Men Have lit tle to Say About the Homestead Strike. Members of the Amalgamated Associa tion at Youngstown, with few exceptions, are inclined to be non-committal regarding the effect the failure of the big strike will have on the future of the association. The general feeling seems to be that it will cause those who have remained firm in the faith to draw more closelv together and to exercise the uttermost caution whenever an important move is to be made, before taking any action. They assert that the Amalga mated Association, as an organization, had not gained a firm foothold in Homestead when the trouble broke out there, and that the result there is not decisive in determin ing the strength of the organization in general. The finishers of Youngstown, outside the mills of the Brown-Bonnell Iron Company, wlm have not already organized under trie Finishers' Union, are preparing to do so. Unions have already been formed at the Youngstown mill and at the mills of Cart wright, McCurdy & Co.

A Merchant Who Spreads His Easiness OTer Parts ofl tree Etates. INTERESTING LOCAL POLITICAL GOSSIP Tom Frotzman, of Morris Cross Roads, Fayette county, Pa., was in Pittsburg yesterday. Tom is a remarkable fellow. He is a merchant with almost unbounded patronage. His store, an unusually large one, Is located in this State near the West Virginia and Maryland lines and his business extends over parts of the three. States. His store, a blacksmith shop and a tavern comprise the town, and he is the postmaster. He is a Republican, but while in Pittsburg yesterday he an nounced that the postoffice will remain at its present location, as he will resign tbe place before Harrison retires, and his son will be an applicant for the place under Cleveland. "My son will get the appointment," Mr. Protzman said. "There is but one other man in the place, and he is blind. My boy is but 8 years old, but he is still better than a blind man. And besides," Mr. Protzman went on with some enthusiasm, "my boy carried a torch in every Democatic parade we had up there during tlio campaign. Ot course he did the same in the Republican parades, but then he and his younger sister are the only ones who took part in the demonstra tions in our section, and so far as I know neither of them was offensively partisan. Personally I have .been looking after my mercantile affairs, and politically speaking I have been enjoving innocuous desuetude. "I broueht with me to-day 1,100 dozen of eggs and 150 quail. I sold the eggs for 20 cents per dozen and gave the quail to my friends.

Reform Association Wants to Kill the Al legheny Four-Tear Term Ordinance. The Allegheny City Reform Association met last night in the First National Bank building on 'Federal street A. M. Mar shall presided. About 25 members were present The feature of the meeting was the attendance of Delinquent Tax Collector Grier. He le plied to statements made at a previous meeting bv Thompson Walkup. Mr. Walkup had asserted in a speech that Mr. Grier had collected money lor the city which his books did not show and which had never been turned over to the City Treasurer. After some discussion a motion was adopted allowing Mr. Grier to be heard. He stated that the charges were false and he could easily prove it He made a sworn statement every month to the Controller, and it would show every dollar collected and the City Treasurer's receipts would show it was all paid into tbe treasury. His books were straight and showed everything and the association, a committee from it, or any of the members were welcome at any time to examine his books. The chaiges, be stated, emanated from a man whom he had made pay up delinquent taxes. It took him two years and five months to get the money out of the man, since when he has been tbe Collector's enemy. When this business had been finished Messrs. John Wood, X. W. Stevenson and J. S. Siagle were appointed a committee to make a vigorous protest to Common Coun cil, at its meeting to-night, against tbe measure extending the terms of office ot the heads ot departments. A special meeting of the Common Coun cil is to be held to-night, at which it is ex pected the ordinance extending the termswill come up. When the association adjourned it was to meet to-night in the lobby of Com mon Council chamber. WAHT AS EXTRA MAR. The Twelfth Ward, Allegheny, Demands Another Representative ln Councils.

At the meeting of Councils thereafter & joint com mittee of five, two from Select and three from Common Council, shall be appointed, who shall examine the said returns and divide the whole number of taxables by 40, and the quotient shall be the ratio of repre sentation tor member of Commons Council."

Kacj-mauss' New Drygoods Department, NOVEMBER 22, 189a MOSEY Ml POISON. Yery Sensational Testimony at Hearing in a Bigamy Case. TWO HUSBANDS" FOR ONE WOMAN. Mrs. Kapuclnsai Disappeared Tiro llontbs After Her Marriage. NOW WEDDED TO A WEALTJ1Y DAIRYMAN Alderman Pike conducted a hearing in a rather sensational case yesterday. Mrs, "Valerio Kapncinski, alias Mario Gertz, was charged with bigamy by Constable Daly, and it transpired in the testimony that the woman had offered another of her sex S600 to poison her first husband. The latter was a friend, but spurned the request and testi fied against her on the stand. Tbe first witness called was Joseph Kapucinski, the husband of the 'defendant His story is substantially as follows: Kapucinski is a Russian Pole, an ex ceptionally handsome man, and owns a pottery works on Voeghtly straet, Alle gheny. About two years ago he met and fell in love with Valerio Kolacynska, a pretty Polish girl, who lived with her par ents on Ohio street. A short coqrtship followed, and on February 6, 1891, a marriage license was taken out and they were married by tbe priest Everything went well for two months when one day bis wife suddenly disappeared. He insti tuted a search at once, but failed to dis cover any trace of her. He gave np all hope of seeing her again until about three weeks ago, he was notified that she visited two sisters, Rose and Kate Jerzwska, who lived near him on Voeghtly street, and with whom his wife bad formerly been very in timate. Trapped by Constable Daly. Kapucinski went to Joseph Rosinski, the Polish interpreter, and confided to him his suspicion that his wife had deserted him for some other man. Together the two went before Alderman McPike, and Kapucinski made an information against his wile tor desertion. A warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Constable Daly, who went to the house in Allegheny where Mrs. Kapucinski was alleged to have visited. He found the two sisters who emphatically denied that she had been there, and said that they knew nothing of her. Constable Daly pretended to be satisfied with their story and said, "Oh, well; all I wanted to see "her for was to tell her that her .husband had gotten a divorce." Both women became interested at that, and finally Rose Jerznska said that if he bad a divorce she supposed it was all right to tell, and that Mrs. Kapucinski had been there only a few days before. Further questioning elicited the fact that she was living with a man named John Habbeger, who runs a large dairy estab lishment in the rear of the Homewood Driving Park. Constable Daly next went to Habbeger's place and there found Mrs. Kapucinski, who denied her identity and said her name was Marie Gertz and that she had married Habbeger on the 6th of last May. She produced her marriage certifi cate, showing that they had been married by the Rev. Dr. Hengartner, of the Bloom field German Lutheran Church. The constable was staggered for a moment by the woman's proot of her story, butfro'ii a picture in his possession was convinced she was the right person and placed her under arrest An Inducement to Mnrder. Upon investigation it was found that a marriage license had been issued May 6 to John Habbeger and Marie Gertz, and Kapucinski withdrew the charge of de sertion which he had preferred against her, and Constable Daly made a charge of bigamy. Rose Jerzwska, who bad been a friend for the defendant, testified that when Mrs. Kapucinski had visited her house she offered her $000 to poison her husband, say ing she bad a man now who was rich and kind to her, and that Kapucinski having learned her whereabouts, she was afraid he would expose her. This proposition the witness refused to listen to, and it was on this account that she turned against her. Mrs. Kapucinski made no defense and was held under $1,000 bail for a trial by court Habbeger furnished tbe bail. Three Important Questions. WHT raSCRE TOUR LIFE?
