P A LACK 0 RESPECT For the law in Allegheny County, According to Gen eral Snowden. HIS HOMESTEAD BEPORT. Bad Sanitary Conditions Caused the Appearance of Typhoid. IAM? PUNISHMENT WAS PROPER. The Commander-in-Chief rxpmses His Opinion for the First lime. NECESSITIES OF THE NATIONAL GDARD , The annual report of Major General Snowden, which has been submitted to the Adjutant General, is of especial interest to this section. Alter giving a partial history of the movement ot troops to support theShentt af Allegheny county in efforts to suppress the disturbance at Homestead, and referrine In a complimentary manner to the expedi tious transportation of troops by Quarter master General McClelland, the arrange ments made for supplies on reaching their destination by Adjutant General Green land, General Snonden pays: "It was at first thought that it was bet ter to concentrate the troops at Brinton, and orders were sent out to that effect, but as it was quite near to Homestead, and the point of assembly having become known, it was changed to Hadebaujjb, which of fered better lacilities. Dispatches were also sent out for good reasons to con centrate the Second Bric&de at Blairsville Junction, and it would have been advis able, if possible, to send the Filteenth and Sixteenth Regiments up the Kiskiminetas. Secrecy as to the real and nnal point of mobilization was essential in all respects and was strictly maintained. The Second and Third Brigades, with lull ranks, 5,738 strong, arrived at their destination, a dis tant point for many of them, within 32 hours after the Governor issued his orders. It is believed that this is the first time troops have ever been maneuvred into posi tion by rail." Opposition Was Expected. Of Major Kay, ot the Eighteenth Regi ment, General Snowden says he "marched resolutely through the streets, but, con trary to expectation, met no opposition or uncivil behavior." "Thus," adds General Snowden, "the positions covering Home stead and the town itself were occupied without disturbance, and as a rioter, since acquitted of murder, informed the Major General at an earlier hour and from another direction than was expected." "The troops now went into Camp Samuel 'W. Black. The provisional brigade on the right bank was connected with the main body by the 'Little Bill,' still bearing marks of the conflict on the Stb; the P., M. K. & Y. B. It., which passes the river at Homestead, and the P. V. & C K. B-. which crosses at Port Perry and Pittsburg. The steamboat could carry a regiment over in twenty-six minutes, and there was a supply of skiffs and other small craft to be had, A valuable bridge-head was formed capable ot great use in lntnre difficulties now threatening, and besides, a matter of great importance, it covered and guarded against interruption of communication with the State capitol. Signal stations were -e-sjablisued by Major Wctherill on his ar rival on the 13th. "The difficulties to be apprehended were not so much at Homestead as from points above and below on the right or north bank. A bridge could have been thrown across, the First brigade could have been called up in s few hours, and thus a force of 6,000 men could have been assembled promptly to dispose of any troubles in those direc tions. There is no doubt that the presence ol so large a torce, so startling in its sudden and unexpected appearance, preserved that part of the State, perhaps the country at laree.from disturbances such as we have not heretofore witnessed, and the First brigade contributed its full share. A Celebrated Interview. "About 12 o'clock on the 12th, the cele brated interview with CoonE,0'Donnell and others took place. To the ofler of a recep tion by the citizens and co-operation by the Amalgamated Association to keep the peace the Major General replied that he could not and did not recognize the Asso ciation, and that with the ample force at his back he did not need the co-operation ot any other body, social, political or re ligions; that he had bufficient troops to en force order, preserve the law and support the Sheriff, and as he was ordered he pro posed to do so. He represented the Execu tive arm of the State and would recognize only the Sheriff, the lawlnl authorities and the'lan .abiding citizens of the county. The only way to assist him was lor everybody to go peaceably about his business and sub mit to the Sheriff Declining all offers to join a parade or accept any ceremonies on behalf of the Guard he thanked the citi zens for their good intentions and remarked that it was not to be suggested that the National Guard was nnwelcome in any part of the State. The interview was brief and conducted with civility by all parties to it "The good faith of the Amalgamated Asso ciation might well be doubted. While all open resistance ceased, their scouts and forces drawn in, the censorship of the press jtopped, and the false government erected by them come to an end, yet for some time they kept up their system of intimidation. The borough police still recognizing the au thority of the Advisory Committee, which, besides assuming legislative and executive functions, acted as aconrt to try and punish persons obnoxious to it, made arrests, and in several instances took their prisoners be fore it. Work of the Provost Marshal. "In one or two cases where the provost rnard captured the policeman and released bis prisoner it effectually stopped such un lawlul conduct. The ProvostMarshal had a 'force usually of three battalions, and was charged with preserving order, protecting the works which were not occupied or taken possession ot but covered by dispositions tutside, and guarding against surprise, if hile Captain Jones' squadron rode daily through the streets. Large crowds as sembled suddenly and were as promptly dis persed, but not without abuse and insnlt heaped upon the soldiers. These affronts were borne with forbearance, and such dis cretion, self possession, and strict obedience to order bv so great a number of troops are worthy of' the highest praise. "There were several occasions when a conflict seemed imminent A parade in honor of Burgess McLuckie was secretly organized and being declared by the Sheriff to be an unlawful assembly was promptly dispersed and a like honor to be tendered to O'Donnell in his release from prison was prohibited. A threatened disturbance , at Duquesne, four miles above, led to a march of the squadron escorting Lieutenant Colonel Elliot on a reconnoissance with a view to occupation, but it returned without "The Major General informed the Sheriff and the officers of the works that he wished all communications to be made to that official, and he in turn notify the Division Commander, that it did not concern the Governor or himself, except as citizens naturally desiring the prosperity of the community, whether the works ran or were idle, that he would not recognize the strike or lockout, and that he would be perfectly neutral between employers and their work 4 men, bnt fee would protect the works and every man in bis desire to work. Under cover ot this protection, men being con ducted to the works at times by a guard, the mills started and gradually approached their full capacity." A Criticism of AHep;heny County. The Major General does not discuss events prior to his arrival at Homestead, bnt doubts if the Sherift could have raised a posse equal in numbers or physique to the opposition. There did not seem to be that wholesome respect for the liw in Allegheny county and determination on the part of all citizens to uphold it, which it is consoling to believe prevailed in all other Darts of the State. A smaller force sent there would have invited a conflict and ended In that which the Governor did in the first place, sending ovemhelming numbers. He says: "The admirable military spirit displayed by all the troops, 8,615 in number, was kept up throughout except by one man, lams, of the Tenth. The attempted assassination of Mr.Frick led to great excitement and tumult in Pittsburg and some apprehension in camp. Guards were doubled and Colonel Hawkins in particular was notified to be on the alert. lams jumped ud and called for three cheers for the man who killed Frick.' Mr. Frick was no more to the troops than any other reputable citizen, but the act was done in sympathy with riot and anarchy. "In the state of war then prevailing, ; since laid down by the Chief Justice, lams act was mutiny and treason, and Lieutenant Colonel Streator whonld have been justified in using extreme measures, if necessary, upon the spot; in fact, an officer failing to repress mutiny is liable to a severe penalty, lams would not explain or apologize for his conduct. In face of imperative necessity to enforce discipline which seemed to admit no delay lor a court martial, which might have put on lams the most extreme sen tence, and after consultation with Colonel Hawkins, Lieutenant Colonel Streator im posed upon the man a penalty of which the severity has been greatly overstated. It the punishment, although often inflicted in war, may be said to be unusual, the circum stances were extraordinary. lams' Puniihment All Bight. "Afterward the Major General was In formed of the case, and requested to give direction as to further punishment. The discipline of a regiment is in the hands of its colonel, and that of the brigade and the trial and punishment of enlisted men in those of the brigade commander, in this case Lieutenant Colonel Streator and Colonel Hawkins, respectively. He was not called on, therefore, to approve or dis approve of action so far taken, and has re trained from doing so officially until now, for Lieutenant Colonel Streator might have asked for a court of inquiry, or on the charges a court martial might have been called for, both in the discretion of the division commander. Now that it is proper to express an opinion, he has no hesitation in saying that lams was pun ished according'to the customs of war, and no more than be deserved. "A fire brand is no more dangerous in a powder magazine than a mutineer or traitor in the ranks. It was necessary to get him out of camp at once, for his presence might lead to open sympathy, or perhaps opposi tion to bis confinement. Hence the division commander, acting on the communication referred to, ordered, as written by "Lieu tenant Colonel North: 'Discharge him in disgrace, drum him out of camp and send him home.' Lieutenant Critchfield, acting A. D. C to Colonel Hawkins, reported to him as an order an intimation as to the method of carrying out the command, and that officer was'ju&tified in so considering it and acting accordingly. It is a source of great gratification to know that the course Eursued by Colonels Hawkins and Streator as been fully vindicated iu a court of law and that the legality of the division com mander's order was ..istained by the honor able Judge who tried the cause, the case, strangely enough, being the first one tried out ot all those resulting from an event which involved riot, murder and treason. Sanitary Conditions Cause Sickness. "Homestead was in a very bad sanitary condition, and in spite of cleaDing and dis infecting, the authorities themselves refus ing to do anything, a number of typhoid cases developed, resulting in several deaths, notably that of Lieutenant Colonel Horton, Sixteenth Infantry. A judicious pension law, incapable of abus:, to be administered perhaps by the military board, is much needed, and would be just. "An adequate supply ot ammunition be coming a serious question, Lieutenant Colonel Huidekoper procured it with much risk-oi violence. A largely increased sup ply is urged. When the crisis seemed to be over leaves and furloughs for good rea sons were freely granted. "The campaign is not without valuable results and information. It showed the stall to be intelligent and efficient, an organization of nbich the State may be proud. It proved that the claim so confi dently pnt torth that the division could be assembled in a few hours in any part of the State was well founded. In rapidity and strength it has never been equaled. On the 11th of July the First Brigade had a percentage present for duty of 9& 6, and on the 12th the whole division, 96.8 per centum. In the First Infantry every place was filled except one. "The concentration of so large a force from far distant parts, with ranks so full, without previous notice, was never before accomplished. Officers and men came from all directions and from long distances, Maine, Texas, Montana, etc. The success of the movement shows the soundness of the principles upon which the Guard was reorganized and has since been conducted. It would be an act of great risk to depart from the ways now long trodden which have led to such splendid results. Three Battalion Kejrlments Needed. "It showed also that the regiments of two battalions are not adapted to our service, and that those of three battalions are recom mended. The ten company formations are antiquated and ought to be increased to 12. The three battalion system is urged by the President, Secretaries of "War, commanding generals and regular officers generally. Majors ought to be elected sufficient to com mand all battalions. Should 12 regiments of 12 companies each be formed, 14 new companies would be required. One com pany of engineers, at least, is needed, as also a signal corps. The admirable services of the cavalry confirm views heretofore ex pressed ot the value oi a lull squadron, and another troop ougnt to be raised, as well as another battery to compose a battalion. An addition of the companies mentioned would raise the Guard to about 9,500, none too large for Pennsylvania and less, in propor tion, than New York, New Jersey, etc. It is obviously necessary to increase the an nual appropriation, to provide for the in creased strength and camps for ten days. "Selfish opposition arising lrom certain quarters ought to be disregarded, as the events of the summer show the security of our liberties and the stability of our insti tutions to depend upon the efficiency of the Guard. By a change of the law regulating the fiscal year or by a mistaken interpreta tion oi it $150,000 have been lost to the great detriment ot many companies. New equipments, especially greatcoats and blan kets, are much needed, and in view ot the probtble appearance of the Guard at Chi cago and Washington, as now contem plated, an early issue is advisable." WEBE TREATED TEHDEBLT. Out of 33 Christmas Prisoners at Central Station 17 Go Free. Magistrate Gripp sat in judgment at Cen tral station yesterday and was very lenient to the 32 Christmas prisoners brought be fore him. Seventeen were discharged be cause thev were "only drank." and prom ised to swear off Besides it was Christ mas Day. The remaining live were given tignt sen tences, such as (5 for fighting, or $10 or $20 for "saasing" a policeman. For Raising a Disturbance. Police Magistrate Brinker, of Allegheny, had 17 prisoners before him yesterday morning, and all but about four were dis charged. Samuel Younger and his son, Harry, of Apollo, paid $10 and $5 respec tively for being drunk and disorderly in the Fort Wayne depot. A. JL Mclvown paid (5 for the same thing. . THE PITTSBim& ASKING FOR A MORGUE For the Third Time the Legislature Will He Petitioned. THE PROSPECTS ARE VERY BRIGHT. Figures Which Tell of the Keed of Ench an Institution. SENATOR NEED TO PEESENT THE BILL Senator John N. Neeb will, as soon as the State Senate meets, introduce a bill to provide for the erection of a morgue in Allegheny county. This is the third ven ture in this line, and it is thoifght this proverbial' time will be a success. Soou after Coroner McDowell took charge of his present office he saw the necessity of of a public morgue and now at the beginning of his third term the need is mora apparent than five and a half years ago, when he estab lished a temporary institution. It has been made to answer the pnrpose ever since, but is fast proving inadequate. In 1889 Coro ner McDowell first tried to get a bill through the Legislature. By some miiunderstand ing it failed. In 1891 the task was again undertaken, but for tome political and other reasons it was a failure. Now the need has fully been established and the prospects are very rosy. The best people have promised their support "In the six years I have served as Coroner," said Mr. McDowell yesterday, "5,400 cases have passed through my hands. Of this number fully 3,500 have fojind a temporary resting-place in the morgue. We have had as high as 18 bodies in this place we use as a morgue. The daily aver age is at the least 3. Qver 00 Unknown Bodies. "There have been over 500 persons brought to us unknown, but by keeping them long enough we have been able to turn nearly all of these unfortunates over to their friends. It is hard lor us to keep a body any length of time as our small quarters will not permit it. Many places, where there are fewer cases than'there are in Allegheny county, have public morgues. The idea of a city morgue has been suggested, but I do not lavor such an institution. Only residents of Pittsburg could be taken there, while much ol our business comes from places.outside the city limits. "Many of the bodies which come to our temporary morgue, are those of persons who do not belong to Allegheny county. They often have to be kept several days before thefriends are found, and often no one turns up to claim them. Sometimes the dead have some personal property, and this we have to store away. This stuff accumulates fast and takes up considerable room. "The county could construct a morgue at a small cost It owns the old Criminal Court building on Diamond street, and it could be remodeled for a small sum. The place is centrally located and close to the Court House. It stands out by itself, and in every respect well fitted for snob, an in stitution." The bill Senator Neeb will present is given below in full, and is as follows: Each County to maintain Its Own. The County Commissioners of eafch and every county in the Commonwealth shall be and are hereby authorized upon present, nientby two successive grand Juries of the county to buy or rent real estate and erect and maintain a morgue thereon at the ex. pense of the county for the reception and care of the bodies of all deceased persons upon whom It may be necessary to hold a Coroner's Inquest and such other bodies as may be received by permit of tboCoioner or the county; the location of the morgue to be approved by the County Commissioners and the Coroner of tlio county. Whenever a dead body may be found in anypubllc place, or the body of any de ceased parson who is unknown or having no residence convenient to the place where lonnd, the same shall bs removed to the morgue, unless the Coroner or his deputy shall direct its removal to some other place. The Coroner of any county tn which a morgue has been or shall be established, shall make general rules ahd regulations for its government and control, and shall ap point a suitable person or persons to have charge or the same, who shall be removable at tho pleasuie of the Coroner, and he shall receive a salary to bo fixed by the County Commissioners (or Salary Board, If sucu exist), and payable out of the general funds or the county, as other county officers are by law payable. Provided, that no more than one person shall be so appointed, except by the approval of the County Com missioners. Left to the Coroner's Discretion. All bodies received at the morgue shall. If the Coroner deem it necessary, be prop erly embalmed or piepared for preserva tion for such length of time as he may think proper (and shall be subjected to examina tion and insoeotlon by snoh persons as he may in writing authorize to view the same, or who may be admitted In his presence), and the body or bodies shall bo removed for burial only upon his certificate. The Coroner shall he authorized to estab lish a bill of lees fur all services performed in the morgue, subject to the approval of the County Commissioners and the Judges or the Court of Common Pleas or the county, which shall, in case the deceased is pos sessed of sufficient estate, be payable out of the same by the legal representative thereof, as other debts or the estate of the first class of preferred claims, and in all other cases bo collected from tho county or other district cuurgable theiewith. The County Commissioners where any such morgue shall have been established shall purchase and maintain an ambulance wltli one or more horses, for the removal or bodies to and from the morgue and for tho bmial of unknown or unclaimed bodies, the cost of maintaining which shall be paid out of the funds or the county. Personal Property to Be Sold. '.All clothing and personal property of de ceased persons received in such morguo who are unknown or unclaimed shall be re tained at the morguo under charge of the Coroner for the period of one year, unless sooner claimed by the legal representatives or the deceased, and at the end or one year may he sold at public sale, after advertise ment by publication in one or more news papers of the county once a week for three weeks and by not less than Bix handbills posted In the neighborhood or the morgue. All fees received for services or con nected with the morgue, and the proceeds or ull sales of personal property, as provided In this act, shall be paid into the county treasury or the proper county upon the first day ot eaoh month, or which the Coroner of the county shall make report iu writing 'under oath afatbe time or the payment. THEY WAHT IT KHOWH. The Duquesne School Asks That the High School list BePrinted. The expressions of dissatisfaction at the concealment of the names and schools of the children who have passed the examination for the High School have already com menced to appear. The first to go on'record comes from the Duquesne sub-district, First ward. Four years ago this school sent a class of one pupil into the High School and since then has been unable to get a repre sentative into the big stone building on Bedford avenue. This year there was a change in the man agement and Professor M. Mahon sent three pupils up, all of whom passed with high averages. The friends of the school feel that they have been wronged by the adop tion of the concealment policy. Set the Prisoners Free.

It May Defeat Mayor Kennedy's Benomln atlon Chier Murphy Talks Strong for tho Maror Major Tyler Says tho Ques tion ot Eligibility Will Not Figure After the Primaries. Notwithstanding the ridicnle of Mayor Kennedy's friends and supporters as to the claim set up by the' Mayor's opponents questioning bis eligibility to re-election, the doubt is wide-spread and unless it is dissipated soon will lose him many votes. It is one of the strong cards in Major Tyler's fight for the nomination and the announcement that a high leeal authority is to be quoted on it in a few days for the Major's benefit has increased tho doubt Chief of Public Safety Murphy, one ot Mavor Kennedy's warmest .supporters, in speaking of the Tyler claim yesterday, said it would avail nothing. "The people are well satisfied with Mr. Kennedy," said he, "and lie will carry the city br nearly as large a vote as he had the last time he ran ior the nomination. He may lose two or or three wards he carried before, but his total vote will not be materially lessened. Much of the talk against him comes from men who would have been after the office themselves but for his candidacy. But there is no doubt as (o his eligibility. The opinion of D. T. Watson should settle that in the mind of any reasonable man, moreover an even diok eminent lega authority has ex pressed precisely the same opinion. The Mayor's candidacy is improving daily. He has grown much stronger within the past few weeks, and I believe he will continue to develop strength until the day of tho primaries. M.inv TVlor wnnld not admit that he had Kan opinion such as reported, but said he could get one early enough. "The fact is," said he, "I don't need one. Alter we pri maries it will not matter anything about the Mavor's eligibility. He won't be nom inated. "The talk about his gaining strength and my losing it is all rubbish and has no foundation. I am stronger to-day than ever, and in a few days will show the Mavor and his friends something new iu politics. While I have nothing to say against the Mayor, I am satisfied the intent oi the law prohibiting the Mayor of a city lrom succeeding himself was intended to prevent him lrom using his official power to perpetuate himself in office. That is just what Mr. Kennedy is doing now. The people at City Hall are all working hard fox him, which I know they would not it it were not that be is Mayor now and has an understanding with them." A?IEE HOIIIHATIOHS. Two More Republicans Anxious to Serve Their Wards in Allegheny Councils. H. C. Bloedel was announced as a candi date for Select Council in the Fourth ward, Allegheny, yesterday. Though he has never before been a candidate for affice bis friends say that he will land the nomina tion at the primaries. His opponent is Conncilman Fielding and a pretty contest is bound to result from the personal popu larity ot both men. William Thomas, Common Councilman from the Sixth ward, yesterday announced himself a candidate for re-election on the Bepublican ticket. Sickness in his family prevented his going into the contest earlier. TO IND0BSE CANDIDATES, Important Meeting of the Allegheny Alli ance Committee To-Klght, The City Committee of the Industrial Alliance of Allegheny will meet in Mo Knight's Hall, Federal street, to-night. The indorsement of mayoralty and council manio candidates is expected to be the most important business transacted. It is not likely that any effort will be made to place an Alliance ticket in the field, but candi dates who receive the snpport of the organization will be expected to favor the Alliance people and adopt some of its principles if elected. Whether Republican or Democratic candidates will be indorsed to-night is not known. A DEIHKIHG C0HTE8I. Two Suburban Doctors Make a Wager to Test Their Whisky Capacity. Two leading physicians of a Pittsburg snburb made a wager the other day to see which could drink the most whisky. No names need be mentioned, but Dan will do for one and Garza lor the other. The contest came off on Christmas eve in Dean's office, and a number of friends gathered to act as judges and join in the festivities. It so happened that Garza, having been born abroad, is a cunning fellow, and he brought his wit to the assistance of his stomach. He plaoed a cuspidor near his chair, and when Dean was not looking quickly and deftly poured his whisky into it. Now, Dean is an honest man and was in ior a straight test of strength. He drained his glasses dry, and in the course of time his eyes brightened, his conversation became snappy, and the liquor began to dance a hornpipe in his cra nium. Garza was as cool as a cucumber, and Dean couldu't help noticing it, "Come, Doctor," Garza would say, with a slight touch of foreign accent, "fill up the glasses, and let us have another drink." Dean re sponded promptly to the invitation every time, and as he is a game man he didn't give up until he was under the table, and Garza helped to carry him home. Tester day morning Dr. Dean sought the water pitcher early, and complained that it was useless ior a'n American to try to knock out the average foreigner in a drinking contest. They are too well trained from their youth up. On the other hand, Garza wasted a lot of fine liquor in the cuspador, and is happy that he fooled his colleague so cleverly. Meanwhile the suburb is laugh ing and enjoys the joke. DINNERS WITH TBIMMINQ1 The Central and European Hotels Will Observe Christmas To-Day. As predicted in Tee Dispatch yester day, the Christmas dinners at the local hotels were excellent. The Anderson and Monongahela House offered a fine bill of fare, printed on pretty menu cards. The Anderson menu was decorated with a pict ure ot hojly and English plum pudding. Nothing need be said about what appeared inside. It is sufficient to state that all the delicacies of the season were served. The Central Hotel will-observe Christmas to-day. Proprietor John Bo wan has young pig, turkey, teal duck, pheasant, quail and other dantles on the bill of fare for dinner. Several biblical quotations appropriate to the occasion appear on the outside of the menu card, and are the first things to greet the diners. The Duquesne will serve young pig and turkey ior lunch in the barroom. Mr. Witherow claims it will be a square meal for any man. HOSE BRASS THIEVES CATGHT. Henry Marcus Is Also Arrested for Keeping a Fence. James and Andrew Hanlon were arrested at Scot ch Bottom yesterday by Captain Wagoner. They were with the Weil brothers when they robbed Best, Fox & Co. Friday night of $500 worth of brass fittings. The four men are supposed to belong to an organized band of thieves that has been doing business on both sides of the river. Henry Marcus, of 19 Logan street, was arrested Saturday night ior keeping a fence on Poplar alley. He gave $1,000 bail for a hearing. When the men stole the brass they took it to Marcus' place, where it was found later. A Frozen Water Main Bursts. The water main on Crawford street, near Clark, burst some time Saturday night and flooded a number of cellars in the vicinity. Considerable damage was caused by the inundation. - 1893.. B. & B.
