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.

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. I also carried with me a satchel
filled with maple sugar, but I have just
given the last cake to John Doyle to use in
his campaign tor Sheriff"
GEIEH MAKES A STATEMENT.
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.

The Twelfth Ward, Allegheny, Demands
Another Representative ln Councils.
Proceedings were commenced in Com
mon Pleas No. 1 yesterday to secure for the
Twelfth ward, Allegheny, an additional
representative in Common Council. Attor
ney J. D. Bamsey filed a petition for a writ
of mandamus in behalf of G. A. Overbeck,
A. B. Smith, Jacob Martin, Xouis Luther,
Edward Hofimau and John Sattler, resi
dents and taxpayers of the Twelfth ward,
Allegheny. In their petition they refer to
to the act of May 26, 1892, for second-class
cities, providing that it "shall be the duties
of the assessors of each ward to return, un
der oath, a true and exact return of resident
taxables to the President of Common Coun
cil on or before the 1st of July each year,
when an apportionment is to be made. 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."
In the Thirteenth ward of Allegheny a
new apportionment was mt made, and the
court is now asked to order an investigation
and give to the ward its proper representa
tion in the City Councils.

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?
Because not one in a thousand can say that
a lire polloy would not benefit his lamil'y
were he to die to-morrow.
When a man makes a liberal provision for
his family, in the way of Hie Insurance, he
places those for whom he lives, and labors
above all possibility of want.
WHEW nrSUKE TOUB IIFET
At once!
Insure your life to-day. You may not live
to insure to-morrow.
There are thousands of families ln want
to-day, because their natural protector per
sisted in waiting for a "convenient season"
to take out a policy.
WHERE IXSURE TOUR LIFE?
