rrsow jl. stajt cobbispoxdest.!
Washixgton, Dec. 12. Since the red
hot times of the Reed Congress, when it
seemed every day for a time that some of
the fiery Democrats would, in their excess
of Jury, rush forward and pull the ele
phantine man from Maine down from his
perch at the Speaker's desk, no such atten
tion has been attracted to the Speaker of
the House as that which within the last 48
hours has given Speaker Crisp a grand boom
toward his re-election.
The few Democrats who got together at
the House yesterday expressed themselves
plainly enough, but their plainness was
caution and timidity compared to the out
spoken comments of the members to-day
when they came together in force. Almost
without exception the managers of the Re
form Club were denounced tor the insult
thrust upon the Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the United States who
was invited to the dinner on acconnt of his
high position and who, from the manner of
the invitation, was led to believe, and war
ranted in believing, that he was expected
to address the persons present at the ban
quet. An Ovation to the Snubbed Speaker.
The great outburst of applause from both
sides of the chamber and from the galleries
when the Speaker mounted to his chair at
noon to-day, complimentary as it was, is a
feeble expression of the feeling of those
who resent Mr. Crisp's treatment on Satur
day evening at New York. Republicans
opposed to him from a partisan stand
point, and Democrats lately opposed to him
as the successor of himself in the chair,
pressed forward as occasion offered,- to as
sure him that in the humiliating position in
which he was placed he had, in their esti
mation, decidedly the best of it.
Thl very head and front of the Mills
element of one year ago, who have been
bitterly antagonistic to Crisp all along,took
opportunity to say to the Speaker that
while they had been opposed to his re-election
up to the time when they read in the
public press of yesterday the account of the
banquet of the Reform Club, they were now
for him with all their strength and in
fluence and would work for his re-election
much more enthusiastically than they before
would have worked to defeat him.
An Intentional Insult Is Charged.
They look upon the insult to the Speaker
as unquestionably studied and intentional;
they say that it could not otherwise have
happened. The speeches were all short. It
was understood they were to be short Mr.
Crisp's speech, which has since been pub
lished, would not have occupied ten min
utes in its delivery. The managers of the
affair knew that Crisp had a speech pre
pared. In the face of all the facts, Mr. Crisp's
friends can come to no other conclusion
than that the free trade mugwumps, whom
Mr. Cleveland seems to love very pro
foundly, notwithstanding all his caution
when he touches on the tariff question, de
liberately intended to'do what they thought
would inure to the defeat of tne Speaker
for re-election, and that at the same time
they would commend themselves to the
President-elect, who is known to have ex
pressed a hope that another would be
chosen for Speaker of the House. How
well they built may be judged by the com
ments and conduct of the members toward
Speaker Crisp to-day.
Mugwumps Get the Worst of It.
Altogether, the dinner of the Reform
Club has stirred up a tremendous muss
among the Democrats, not only on account
ol the Crisp part of the affair, but because
of the speeches which were made, as well as
those which were not made. The Mug
wumps are denounced more bitterly than
ever. Cleveland is denounced for permit
ting himself to be led into their camp.
These Democrats say that if Whitney could
avoid attendance at the banquet by lying
like a gentleman, Cleveland could have
done the same thing. They almost think
that Crisp deserved the breach of hospitality
and decency of which he was the victim for
going into the crowd. ,
"I do not pity anyone who was made to
feel uncomfortable," said the sententious
Bourke Cockran, "to-day, "for no good
Democrat had any business there. We
kept those fellows in the cellar all the time
during the campaign, and now that they art
let.out the COO of them who enjoy citizenship
in the Stale can raise a bigger row than the
whole Democracy of Hew York."
Bow the Speakers Stabbed Each Other.
Democrats generally are mightily pleased
at the manner in which the speakers at the
banquet put the lance into each other
either, consciously or unconsciously, Carl
Schurz denouncing a certain class of spoils
Democrats, Campbell prodding the Mug
wumps, Tom Johnson administering sledge
hammer blows to "tariff reformers" who are
free traders but who are afraid to show
their colors, and Carlisle firing all the
strength of his sherry and champagne at
the "Hayes fraud," while Schurz, one of
the beneficiaries of the "fraud," sat under
his nose.
There -are very few or the .Democratic
jnember3r'of Congress
who are not of the
opinion ltnat
the Reform Club will find it
-i . .t
Terj qj;
jlcult to get guests from the ranks
GIN
BOOM
of the leaders of the Democratic party for
future dinners.
The only person who attempts to palliate
the treatment of Sp'eaker Crisp by the Re
form Club is Representative Dewitt War
ner, of the Eleventh New York City dis
trict. It was through Mr. Warner that
Speaker Crisp was invited to the dinner.
So Excuso for All the Bow.
Mr. Warner does not think that all this
row ought to be raised over the matter. He
accuses the Republicans of doing most of
the talking about it, when the fact is mem
bers of that party have been very quiet,
feeling that it was not their funeral,
while the Democrats have worked them-selves-into
a condition of indignation that,
in some of them, almost reach the point of
frenzy. .
Mr. Warner cannot remember whether he
said anvtbing that should have led the
Speaker'to think that he would be expected
to speak, but it is very evident that Mr.
Crisp got such an understanding very
clearly, tor he is the last man to thrust him
self forward in such circumstances except
in response to a request of the most decided
character.
The whole matter may seem, to those
away from the capital, something like a
tempest in a teapot, but it is safe to say
that this banquet will have a lasting and
far-reaching effect in divorcing the sympa
thies of trie real Democrats still farther
from the Mugwumps in pressure upon the
President-elect to ignore that element in
the makeup of his official family and in his
minor appointment, and in furthering the
re-election of Speaker Crisp to the chair
which he now so ably fills.
Carlisle Not Good Cabinet Material.
The story that the President-elect has
selected Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky, as
his Secretary of the Treasury, is one of
those creations of the imagination which
seem to be bred spontaneously in the poli
tical ail of Washington. Democrats who
are closest to Mr. Cleveland here say there
is not a shadow of truth in the report. It
is generally conceded that the Secretary of
the Treasurer will certainly be selected
from the North or East, as the sound
money interests would not have full confi
dence in an official from any part of the
country tainted with the unlimited silver
or greenback heresies.
The expression most frequently heard is
that the Secretary of the Treasury will be
chosen from New York unless Mr. "Whitney
should decide again to accept the Navy
portfolio, in which case the Treasury office
would go elsewhere. Some think that ex
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, has a fighting
chance for this high office, but his own
financial embarrassments, which have been
so hinted abroad in political contests,
would probably lead Mr. Cleveland to
hesitate when looking in that direction.
Xairchlld's Chances Still Good.
From the fact that ex-Secretary Fair
child and Mr. Cleveland are so frequently
together many think that the former may
be made Secretary of the Treasury, and
that Mr. Whitney will not be in the' Cabi
net, as he has said that his business inter
ests would preclude his accepting office.
However all this ma v be. it is pretty cer
tain that Senator Carlisle may be left out
of any calculations in connection with the
Treasury, as he, like all Southern Demo
crats, has flirted intimately with the free
siiver movement
SMITH GUILTY OF HERESY.
It Is Believed He Will Be Admonished, Not
Excommunicated.
Cincinnati, O., Dec. 12. The Cincin
nati Presbytery in secret session voted this
afternoon upon the second and third charges
against Prof. Henry P. Smith, of Lane
Theological Seminary, and he was found
guilty of both charges. These are the
charges that pertain to his views on in
spiration. The second charge was that
he taught contrary to the fundamental
doctrine of the word of God and of the
confession of faith that the Holy, Spirit
did not so control the inspired writer jn
their composition of the Holy Scriptures as
to make their utteiances absolutely truth
ful, i. e., free from error when interrupted
in their natural and intended sense. The
third charge accrued him of teaching an in
spiration ol the Scriptures in a sense differ
ent from that taught by the Scriptures
themselves and by the confession of faith.
These two charges were so nearly alike
that it is said that the court argued thorn
together.
The final vote is reported to charge
second, guiltv 36, not guilty 20. Charge
third, guilty 32, not guilty 26. A com
mittee was appointed to consider and re
port the penalty for the action of the
Presbytery at their meeting to-morrow. In
view of the close vote it is surmised that
the penalty of excommunication will "not
be recommended, and possibly not even
more than an admonition, as the committee
is made up to include several supporters of
the accused.
GLADSTONE MAY OPEN IT.
The Committee Will Probibly Ask Him to
Speak at the World's Fair.
Chicago. Dec. 12. Perhaps William
Ewart Gladstone, the Grand Old Man of
England, will be the orator of the day at
the formal openiDg of the World's Colum
bian Exposition May 1. Mr. Gladstone's
name has been seriously considered by the
Ceremonies Committee, and the Secretary
believes the committee can secure the
famous Briton.
Some weeks ago the name of Emilio Cas
telar was prominently mentioned. That a
Spaniard and so eminent an orator as Cas
telar should be chosen, seemed eminently
acceptable, but it was found that although
Senor Catelar left nothing to be desired in
the direction of eloquence, when it came to
speaking English he was at a disadvantage.
Mr. Gladstone, although far past the
eightieth mile post, is nevertheless still a
sturdy and active man, and it is said would
not hesitate to cross the ocean on an occa
sion like the opening of the World's Fair.
Secretary Culp said this afternoon that the
Board of Control will probably take some
action on the matter to-morrow.
ARRESTING YALE SIUDEBTS.

New Haven, Dec. 12. The case of Fred

Saturday and charged with breach of the
peace for having indulged in the disturb

the City Court this morning, but was, on
motion of his counsel, continued until next
Friday. Prosecuting Attorney Dow said
to-day that warrants Ijad been issued for
several more students and that they would
be served soon, but just how many would
be arrested he would not telL
This afternoon Detective Sergeant Cowles

Uniontown, Pa., Dec. 12. Con
trary to expectation, the trial of the Cooley
family for receiving stolen goods was,
owing to the press of other cases, delayed
until to-morrow. -Ramsey became out
rageous after the verdicts on Saturday, and
was confined to his cell.
Sam Yeager, who it is alleged, betrayed

Crisp Incident Still Causing

CLEVELAND IS MUCH ANNOYED BY. IT
rSPEClAL TEL r a UAH t6 the DrspATcn.l
New Yoek, Dec. 12. Mr. Cleveland
spent a good part of to-day In his law office
in the Mills building. A number of Demo
crats visited him there, and ex-Secretary
Fairchild, whose offices are around the cor
ner on Wall street, brought 'in others. A
delegation of Missourians took up most of
Mr. Cleveland's time. Govprner-elect
Stone, by appointment, met Mr. Cleveland
there.
It turns out that the Missourians have
three aspirants for a 'cabinet office. Gov
ernor Francis, whose term is about to ex
pire, would like to be either Secretary of
"War or Secretary of the Interior. He pre
fers the war portfolio. Editor Charles H.
Jones, of the St. Louis JitpiMie, is a candi
date for Secretary of the Interior. Con
gressman William H. Hatch, Chairman of
the House Committee on Agriculture, is a
candidate for Secretary of Agriculture ia
the Cabinet
Only one Cabinet officer is to be selected
from Missouri. Governor-elect Stone ap
parently favors the appointment of Mr.
Jones as Secretary of the Interior. Other
Missourians who saw Mr. Cleveland un
hesitatingly declared to-night that Gov
ernor Francis would undoubted! be the
successful aspirant from the State, and
they believe that he would be the Secretary
of Interior.
Cleveland's Future Tariff Policy.
Governor Stone, in his conversation with
Mr. Cleveland, also discussed the future
tariff policy of the Cleveland administra
tion. The Governor-elect told Mr. Cleve
land it was the opinion of Missouri Demo
crats that an extra session of Congress
should be called to meet in -September
next
Mr. Cleveland, on his return to his home,
found other Democrats awaiting him. The
Crisp incident was alluded to casually, and
to one, Democrat Mr. Cleveland said: "I
did not tall out with anv man because he
opposed my nomination."
From this time on, whether in New
York or at Lakewood, Mr. Cleveland trill
devote his entire time to making up his
Cabinet and discussing with his Democratic
visitors . from the different parts of the
country the sentTmerilofthe party con
cerning prospective legislation at Washing
ton. Echoes of the Crisp incident are still
heard in the corridors of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and the If off man House, n here Dem
ocratic politicians congregate. Not all off
the Democratic Congressmen were in their
seats in the House to-day.
The Slight Considered Preconcerted.
Several were in town, and while they did
not wish to be personally quoted in the
newspapers concerning the controversy, all
declared it to be their beliel that the slight
to Speaker Crisp was preconcerted. In
other words, they said that as the facts come
out they had no other ground upon which
to base an explanation of the strange
affair. Their argument was that
even admitting that the managers of
the club had not invited Speaker
Crisp to address the company, he was all
the more entitled to be heard after the
speeches delivered by Senator Mills and
Tom Johnson, of Ohio. These two men
have been arrayed against Speaker Crisp.
Senator Mills has been especially bitter
since bis defeat for the Speakership. Tom
Johnson, the Democratic 'Congressman, it
is .said, had been waiting for months to get
an opportunity to shoot off his mouth in a
way that would tend, to reflect upon
Speaker Crisp.
The Democratic Congressmen, in view of
these two speakers, said that the managers
of the club should have had the com
mon decency to have called upon Speaker
Crisp.
Crisp Wanted a Chance to Reply.
"I talked with Speaker Crisp after the
dinner, Saturday night," said one of his
friends to-night, "and he told me he felt he
had been treated very shabbily. He told
me further more, that after he had listened
to the speeches of Mills and Johnson he
would not have delivered the speech he had
prepared.
"He would have delivered a speech re
plying to those two men. But he was com
pelled to sit there- and listen to their re
marks, and President Anderson did not
show him the courtesy due under the cir
cumstances by giving him an opportunity
to reply. I have been a life-long friend of
Judge Crisp, and he is a straight and good
man, but no matter how much I ad
mire and think cf him, I could not
refrain from telling him that he must have
known that he would be treated shabbily at
this dinner. It Is not common sense to say
that Mr. Anderson and Mr. Fairchild did
not know what was due to the Speaker of
the House of Representatives. But as I
said before, even it they did not care to re
spect his office, Mr. Anderson should have
given him an opportunity to reply to Mills
and Johnsbn,
The 'Whole Case In a Nutshell.
"I notice by this morning's newspapers
that Mr. Anderson says he did not know
that Speaker Crisp had prepared a speech.
I have just seen an authoritative statement,
declaring that Mr. Anderson, Mr. Fair
child and others of the Reform
Club knew on Friday last that Speaker
Crisp had prepared a speech to be
delivered at the dinner. But admitting
that they did not know this, it was Mr.An
derson's duty as President-of the club and
as a gentleman to give Speaker Crisp an
opportunity to be heard after the speeohes
of Senator Mills and Johnson, which have
been accepted- as reflecting upon Judge
Crisp's career as Speaker from a party
standpoint That is the case in a nutshell."
It may now be said that Senator Gorman
and Senator Carlisle, before leaving town,
told their intimate friends that the treat
ment of SDeaker Crisp was "very poor taste,
indeed." " . .
Mr. Cleveland Very Much Annoyed.
Democrats who visited Mr. Cleveland to
day came away and said he was very much
annoyed over the incident, especially as it
was through him that the Reform Qlub had
issued the invitation to Speaker Crisp to
atteqd the dinner. President Anderson,
of the club, admitted to-night that be had
been informed on Saturday that Speaker
Crisp had prepared a speech to be delivered
at the banquet Notwithstanding this
knowledge Mr. Anderson reiterated that he
Ob
BE
saw no reason why be should call upon
Judgft Crisp to speak at the dinner.
The Dispatch reporter said to Mr. An
derson: "Several Democrats who met Seni
ator Mills on Saturday afternoon say tha
Mr. Mills told thenuthat Speaker Crisp
has come to the toTfnSiritb. a speech pre
pared, but I know he Vilrnot hnve an op
portunity to deliver it"
Mr. Anderson became quite excited when
he heard this. He replled: "I don't be
lieve any such story. I would have known
of this had Mills made any such remark. I
will take the responsibility of denying it"
CAPRIVI'S POWER TREMBLES.
All Berlin Talking of an Expected Crisis

Join on Anti-Semitism and Bl-Metal-Hsm.
,
Berlin, Dec. 12. Berlin is talking of
the rebuff suffered by Chancellor Caprivi
over of the military bill, owing to the at
titude of the Center party. In round num
bers, the opposition may be estimated as
lollows: Center, 109 votes; Progressists, 6T
votes; Socialists, 35 votes; Democrats, 10
votes. Total, 221 votes.
Caprlvi's retirements loudly talked of,
as he.is not in touch with the people.
Count Von Eulenburg.Herr Mjquel, Gen
eral Baron Von Loe, General Von Hahnlce
and Count Von Woldersee are mentioned
as his successors.
Notwithstanding the' conviotlon of Rec
tor Ablwardt, the anti-Semite who acoused
the Hebrew gun-making, firm of Loewe &
Co. of furnishing the af my with defective
rifles, there seems to b some doubt in the
minds of certain members of the Reichstag
regarding the quality' of the arms borne
by the infantry. At the session of tho
House to-dav several questions were asked
on the subject Chancellor Von Caprivi
said that the quality of the rifles in use by
the army is thoroughly good, both as re
gards pattern and execution.
Count von Mirbach, a member of the
Conservative party, asked the Government
to assist the bi-metalllsts at the Interna
tional Monetary Conference at Brussels.
Chancellor von Caprivif eplied that German
delegates to the conference had been in
structed not to give their assent to any
proposal that restricted Germany's right to
decide what should .constitute her own cur
rency. They had also '-been instructed to
declare that Germany was content with her
present.system and would not depart from
it, that Germany would stick to the gold
standard. &

A STREAM OF FLAME.
Miller's Bun, Near Hazelton,
Covered
With Oil and Set on Fire.
Lancaster, Pa., Dec 12. An immense
quantity of oil escaped from a break in the
Crescent Oil Pipe Company's line in Manor
township yesterday, flowing into Miller's
run. Several hunters, to have some tun,
set fire to 'the oil, and the surface of the
creek was a mass of flame in an incredibly
short time. The entire run bore the ap
pearance of a furnace, the flames mounting
up 50 to 100 feet. Large trees a!ongthe
banks were destroyed in a few minutes, and
the heat was so intense that limestone
ledges were reduced to a chalky mass in an
incredibly short time.
To prevent the blazingoilreaching Cones

fire, explosions following which could be
heard over a mile. Pipe line employes
finally smothered the flames and repaired
the leak in the pipe. The loss is large.

Green Glassworkers Order a Strike to Be
Able to Join the Flints.
Beidgeton, N. J., Dec 12. The United
Green Glassblowers' Association, of the
United States and Canada, through its
President and Executive Board, have de
cided to make a fight against the non-union
glass manufacturers of South Jersey and to
night decided to call all union men out of
the Cumberland Glass Company's Works
to-morrow morning.
The ordering of a strike at this time
means more than appears on the surface at
present. The green classworkers1 have for
several years endeavbri-d to form
an alliance with the American
Flint Glassworkers' Union. Last
summer when a committee from
their Rochester convention went to Corning,
N. Y., to meet a committee of the American
Flint Glassworkers' Union in session at
the latter place, they were plainly told that
they must unionize the "scab" factories in
South Jersey before Amalgamation would
be considered. That the green glasswork

ME WITH" YOU 7'
SOUGHT A GRETNA GREEN.
Pretty Lulu Watt and Porter H. Ferree
Simultaneously Disappear on Sunday
Evening Supposed to Have Gone to
Cumberland to Be Married.
Pretty little Lulu Watt, aged 16, of
Kelly street, Brushton, eloped on Sunday
afternoon with Porter H. Ferree, aged 19
years, and it is presumed they have gone to
Cumberland to be married. Miss Luln is
the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Watts. She is described as being a hand
some brunette. Ferree has been paying at
tention to her for over a year, but the fam
ily never thought she contemplated mar
riage The girl is an accomplished singer and
sang in the choir of the Homewood Avenue
M. E. Church. She sang there on Sunday
morning and at a funeral in the afternoon
and started ostensibly for church in the
evening. That was the last seen of her.
When her brothers returned from the even
ing service they were asked where Lulu wa.
They had not seen her, neitherinthechoiror
iu "le body of the church. After waiting
until 12 o'clock the family became alarmed
and Mr. Watt started out to hunt for her.
The' first place he visited was Ferree's
boarding house Inquiry for him de
veloped the fact that he had gone away.
His roommate said that he left a note say
ing that he had gone to Maryland and
would return home on Wednesday. In his
note he also saffl there was a great secret
that he would like to tell, but would re
frain until his return.
Mr. Watt at once concluded that the chil
dren bad eloped and returned home. Mrs.
Watt was shocked by the news. An
investigation led to the discovery
that a number of Lulu's clothes
jrera. missing. It was a mystery
,at first how she had gotten them out of the
house nntil Mrs. Watt remembered how
anxious her daughter was to get her to go
to the city on Saturday afternoon, and it is
supposed after her mother had gone Lulu
took her clothes to some place where she
could get them easily.
Just what action Mr. and Mrs. Watt will
take could not be learned, but Lulu's three
brothers are very angry. One of them said
last night if .Ferree returned to Brushton he
would be sorry for it Ferree is employed
as bookkeeper for the Laffin & Rand Pow
der Company, and hoarded with an aunt a
few doors from the Watt home.

HAD A CLOSE SHAVE,
Pittsburg Coal Barges Meet With Trouble
at Stcuhenvllle.
Thirty boats of the Pittsburg coal fleet
passed Steubenville last evening. All of
them had close shaves and some hard rub
bing at "the clusters," as the shoals are
known to rivermen. The barges of nearly
all the fleet were raised from 12 to 18 inches
on the bar, and one barge belonging to the
Frank Gilraore was raised even higher. The
barges were said to be leaking badly, and
those belonging to the Gilmore were making
water so fast, and the pumping was so hard,
that three ot her crew left the boat
Below Steubenville the boatmen expect
ed no trouble in getting the coal down, al
though they admitted that they had taken
chances on the "forefoot" ot the flood rather
than to risk losing the rise and waiting for
another river.

Story What the Labor Leaders Say.
Robert J. Beatty, the man arrested at
Louisville on Saturday night on a charge of
poisoning non-unionists at Homestead, ap
plied for a writ of habeas corpus and will
fight the requisition proceedings. Accord
ing to a Louisville telegram, J. T. O'Neill
and Matt O'Dougnerty, two of the best at
torneys in that city, made the application
to Jadge Toney, in the Law and Equity
Court. They claimed that Beatty, a nat
uralized citizen of Louisville, having a
family in that city, was unlawfully incar
cerated and held in the county jail upon
the false charge of being a fugitive from
justice. Judge Toney placed the case on
his docket for a hearing at 9 o'clock thb
morning.
As soon as this information was received
by the Carnegie attorneys in this city they
telegraphed their detectives to secure the
services of attorneys in Louisville and en
deavor to have the hearing postponed until
a late hour in the day or until to-morrow.
A Hurried Departure for Kentucky.
Then Captain E. T. Breck made hurried
arrangements to go to Louisville. When
Pinkerton Detective Pat Farrell arrived in,
this city from Harrisburg at 8 o'clock last
nieht with Governor Pattison's requisition
in" his pocket, he was ordered to take tha
train for Louisville with Captain Breck
and4 Homer iindsay, Mr. Frick's private
secretary.
The party was accompanied to Union
station by J. H. Ford, the Pinkerton official
who has worKed up the alleged poisoning
cases against Beatty, Patrick Gallagher and
various other alleged conspirators. Cap
tain Breck would bave little to say in re
gard to the case, except in criticism of
I Beatty t actions.
"iseatty is tasmg a queer course lor an
innocent man," said he, "and one that will
avail him nothing if they have any kind of
a Judge down there. We have received
information that he has employed three of
the best attorneys in Louisville to defend
him. He has not only done this, bnt has
had the hearing of the case changed from
Friday, as it had originally been fixea, to
Tuesday. An innocent man would have
waited, and for that matter would have
come back and proven his innocence."
What They Expect to Prove.
"What do you expect to prove when you
get to Kentucky?"
"We hope to prove Beatty's identity,
and that is all that should be necessary.
The Governor of Pennsylvania issues a
requisition on the Governor of Kentucky,
stating that Beatty is guiltv of a crime, the
supposition being that the Governor of
Pennsylvania has satisfied himself there is
good ground for the charge before he issues
the requisition. Legally, then, the only
thing left for the Governor of Kentucky to
do is to grant the requisition. However,"
continued the Captain, tapping his valise
significantly, "we are not going unpre
pared. We will take evidence along with
which to satisfy the Court and Governor,
too, if necessary."
After the train for Louisville had de
parted Detective Ford was questioned as to
the part he played in discovering the plot
against the non-union men in the Home
stead mills. He was modest about his work
in the mills, but admitted that he had been
there at the time the poisoning is alleged to
have occured.
Positive That Poison Was Used.
There wis no doubt, he said, that poison
had been systematically used. He bad seen
it and the attorneys now have some of it In
their rjossession. It was a dark brown
powder, but what its constituents were he
was unable to say.
"Those people would have been dosing
the workmen yet," said he, "if they had not
been found out and there were any of the
workmen left" .
"Howdid you first learn poison was being
used?" was asked.
"By the symptoms of the men. The doc
tors examined the food and said it was pure.
Then they examined the water and that was
bad, but it didn't account for the symptoms
of the sick men. The doctors, most of them,
said it was typhoid fever. It shows how
much they Know," he added, contemptu
ously, "How about young Glosser," was the
next query. "The attending physician said
his was a typhoid fever case, pure and sim
ple?" "Glosser was poisoned. The doctor wa
mistaken."
"But how do you know that? His family
says his body was not disturbed after
death."
"I can't tell you how we know. Tha
doctors found it out But we know."
"Where is Patrick Gallagher, the cook,
who is alleged to have furnished the evi
dence against Beatty?" was asked.
Don't Want Gallagher Interviewed.
"Do yon want to see him? Well, you
can't. He is in the city, but it wouldn't do
for him to be Interviewed just now. It
mightn't do our case any harm, but it would
do it no good to have these people know
just what our case is at this time. Gallagher
will be on hand when needed."
The detective stated further that the slcki
ness among the soldiers at the same time of
the epidemie in the mill undoubtedly cams
from the same cause if anyone had investi
gated ft There were several deaths among
the soldiers with the same symptoms. No
one had paid any attention to them, and,
as far as Ford knew, those cases were not
included in the list the Pinkerton' were at
work on.
As to the future conduct of the poison
ing cases, Ford said nothing would be dona
and no arrests would be made until Captain
Breck's return from Kentucky.
A telegram from Louisville last night
says; "Robert Beatty says he has dona
