Tiut Democratic Congress, in iU vote
on the World's Fair bill, has ma le all the
canvnwg Republicans n il! need in Illinois
this year.
Tin number of poetoilices in the Unit
ed States is i7,10", an increase for the
year of 2,7:I What a field that would
be for Ad'.ai Stevenson.
Wh at niak.es Democrats mad is that a
Jtemocratic Governor is compelled by
bis oath and by the demands of the peo
ple to put down lawlessness even with
bayonets.
If Carnegie could be induced to move
bis works to Scotland, Democrats and
free traders would jrrow happy at once.
It is tbe American manufacturers they
are dow n on.
The free trade method of preventing
strike is to reduce the tariiT to so low a
point that the mills can't tie operated.
By the same token they would cut off a
foot to avoid pain from acorn on one of
its toes.
L mom turners are killing non-union
miners in Idaho w ill bullets and dyna
mite because they take the lowered wa
which the I'nion men lad refused,
Yet there is free trade in the product of
Idaho mines.
Tui Democrats' only hoj of carrying
the e'ection is by either carrying Xew
York or Indiana. Yet they hissed and
Looted New York's candidate for Presi
dent and spurned Indiana's candidate for
Vic President.
Why can't Congress abolish the Pinker-ton
police? No man, or Bt of men,
except thoee under the control of the
general government should be comniis
bioned to pars from one State to another
at the demand of individuals or corpora
lions. Tue sympathetic strike is a fraud and
fortunately U becoming more and more
unpopular among sensible workingmen.
The sympathetic strike merely adds to
the numlx-r of idle men and thus hastens
the depletion of the funds and resources
of the strikers.
Jit wait and see the (J. A. R. boys
get after ' the auWlitnte ticket" The old
veteran, General Sickles, was right when
he said in Chicago," There are 25,000 G.
A. R. men in Xew York who will never
vote for Grover Cleveland for President,"
They w ill be heard from in November.
Sexatok Ransom hopes that by mak
ing the "force bill" an itue the Lemc
crats may carry North Carolina. Fr e
trade is no longer a saving cry in the
South, and the Democrats Cnd it neces
sary to go biuk to the old cry of "netrro
domination" to save the solid South from
going to pieces.
Dem.k rath: papers in Kansas and Col
orado have run np the Presidential ticket
of Weaver and Field instead of Cleve
land and Stevenson. It is not because
they Lave run out of tyj, eitliej.but be
cause the Iemocrats in those States be
lieve in tbe doctrines of the People's
party. AWr Yrt V.
Ms Cleveland says that "no sincere
frieud of honest tariff can be dissatisfied
with the position the Democratic party
has assarted on this subject" The Dem
ocratic convention declared the tariff a
fraud. Mr. Cleveland is like the man
wno could not understand why the fel
low he called a liar got mad about it.
uLsiBuiue greai ;ortnwesl are
r .t
enable to get men enough to harvest the
r.penmg grain crops. It seems that
large numbers of able bodied men w ho
ought to be at work ia the wheat fields
are devoting their time to addressing
niaas meetings of tue People's party and
telling their hearers about the denress-
tng condi ion of agriculture.
The Mugw umps, in their joyous prai
of Chairman JIarrity's crafty xeal as a
p-'litician, either fc.rjetor ignore the fact
mat Mr. tiamty.a postmaster at Phila
delphia,so debauched the postal service
of that city n caoordinaticg it to the de
mands of spoils politics as to call down
0on himself the sharp condemnation of
the t ivil Service Coll minion.
Dtii.H iut have been arguing thA the
product of the Homestead mills is pro
tected, and therefore proU-clion is respon
sible lor not and bloodshed there
There U free ;rade in the product ot sil-
Termine. Therefore free trade is re
ponsible for the riot and bloodshed
among the ailver miners of Idaho accor
ding to the argument- of the Iemocrats.
Cleveland is tbe Democratic party.
It was at Li behest that the boneet con
victions of Democrats in the House on
the silver question was atrangled in or
der to give Cleveland a chance to grind
way on the only string he can play
the free trade string. This is an asser
tion that the Republican party has alrea
dy solved tht money question and that
it U not ao fcfeue.
President Haewmon's proclamation
setting apart Friday, October 21, as
holiday in memory of Christopher Co
lumbus's coming is original and forcible
in ttjle. Tho document decrees rest
fn.m labor on that day and a holiday for
t:,. ii iti tino oubiic school children of
the land. The day will tuber in the
World's Fair fettivitiea.
The ta'.k about "tbe eucceesofthe
third party" in the solid South in Si2
it simply wind and nonsense. Not a
Fta te in the South w ill cast its vote for
the third party. If it is likely to endan
ger I emocracy in any section, possibly
w ith the exception of Booth Carolina, it
will not be allowed to cast its votes, or, if
cast, will not he counted. Tint is the
Southern iron-clad Democratic rule.
Tins is tbe way in which Senator Hill
is reported to have s; oken of the Iemo
cratic platform ; " The Free Trade plank
in the Ietoocratic platform will tarn ev
ery factory and workshop in the land
into a Republican campaign headquar
ters. " Right you are. Senator Hill, and
it will turn the working masses of this
country into a great Republican party
that will aure an unparalleled triumph
for IYotection's candidates in the Presi
dential elections. Awrrirnn ErtmmaiM.
To months ago the New York Son
and tbe T1V7J were deriding Grover
Cleveland, and the latter making charges
of the gravest character and foretelling
the disaster and ruin to the jiarty and
country opon his nomination and elec
tion. To-day both are crowding their
columns with notice of "tbe danger to
the Republic and the people" if they
should fail to elect Lim. It is no won
der that such papers are a laughing stock
and without influence, except with the
ignorant and thoughtless.
Ge-.veb Cleveland accepted the Chi
cago platform. He di 1 not however, ex
plain it as fully as Ilenfy George, the
great apostle of free trade, w hose free
trade book Las become a part of tbe CW
qrr?ioivd V.f'jT by Tote of the Demo
crats in the House. Mr. George, in Lis
new spaper, the Sbiiulirti, rejoivsorer the
Chicago pi Atfurm as an honest expression
of the IetiiOcrutic position. He says:
"Thank God, what we Lave struggled for
and waited for Las come !o pass, an.l the
jwo great political parties of the United
States sued fronting each other on the
naked question of protection or free
trade. We are face to face with the last
breastwork 1"
The Dem K-rats seem to be very much
interested in the record of the Pension
Oifiee. Here are some pointers for them:
From March 1, IS"., to June 30, 1SSS, the
first three year and three months of
Cleveland's administration, there were
issued wnsion i-ertificates. For
the same spaceof timeduring Harrison
administration, ending June :;0, lSf'2,
there were issued T5f,!03 certificates.
The salaries paid, including per diem and
expenses of special examiners, being J ,-
lOd.iiH.fer.made the average cost of issu
ing each certificate during the Cleveland
period, $.'1.2 4. During the Harrison ad
ministration, being SS.4-17A5r.40, make
the aveaage cost of issuing each certificate
$11.10. The averape cost cf paying each
pensioner during the Cleveland period
was72 9-10 cents. During the Harrison
ad ministration 49 cents. 1 hat is, more
than double the work hm been done dur
ing Harrison's administration, at an in
crease of $l:;0.0X).
AQu est Ion of Law and Not of Labor,
From Hit New York Tribune.
A remarkable change in public opi nion
has come since tbe Homcstea l strike Ugan
It is plainly reflected by tbe (Jovernor of
Pennsylvania, who declared, when a doctor
urged him to remove the troups because the
town was orderly : ''Tbe state of rennsyl
vania has $;.0oip,O"0 in its treasury. I will
be justified in spendin; every cent of it, and
in morLpuring the State iiatlf. to maintain
the National Guard here unti' law and o:
der are restored." A fi:w days of contact
with the actual facts at Homestaal have
nude the Governor speak thus strongly
His officers, stalf and military, who have
seen tbe attempt to set up a kind of govern
ment unknown to the laws of IVonsylva
nia, and in denial of the rights guaranteed
by the Stale, openly declare the performance
treasonable, and insist that the rights of ev
ery individual under the laws of the State
must be respected, and the iawa nrictly en
iorcea ana ooeveo. wiure Uie niuitary can
be withdrawn.
This does not lessen the rifrbt of strikers
to rvjft a scale proposed by the steel com
any. It does not call in question tbei
right to establish and maintain a labor or
Ranization for their mutual ail. Tbe resort
to violence and bloodshed, in excluding
either new rueu or guards hired by the com
pany, was a violation of law. Tbe Epint
which upholds it is one of resistance to the
law, which the authorities of the State can
not suiter to go unrebukej. Eurgess Mc
I.uckie and leader O'Djnnell, of the A Jris
ory Committee, both affirm that they ear
nestly a 1 vised the strikers to do no violence
and tried to arrest the riot, and it would be
well if the Amalgamated Aociation a?
body would make it clear that it had taken
the same attitude. Bat the fact stands that
there was a lawless outbreak which nobody
d.d restrain, and that if trpj were away
men wiping to work in the Homestead
miiis Would not be safe a single hour. Or
a-n depriving individuals of their lepal
n'uta aud liberty have been issued by tbe
AJnsory Committee, which the authorities
of the Siate cannot fail to treat as unlawful.
It ia against unlawful acts, and not against
the strike or the organization of labor, that
the power of the State is properly exercised
Tbe distinction is one which all law-respect
ing workingmen will quickly perceive. Act
ng within their legal rights for the fur-
luerauccoi me iniercsis 01 iaoor, mey are
eiua..y entitled with every other peaceable
citizen, rich or poor, to tbe pr jtectiou of the
Stte. But lawless and forcible denial of
the rights of others the State cannot toler
ate in anybody. Nor could great industrial
establishments be maintained, for capita!
would never be invested in a State by which
the laws are not eafomed and individual
rights are not protected. It would be th
aartest ol all dark days for tbe worker of
Pennsylvania if ever anarchy should in that
State take tbe place of law.
An Authoritative Opinion.
From the X. Y. Pre&a.
Wheo Hon. Frank IT. Ilurd of Ohio rep
resented the Tomlj d.str.ct of that State in
Co3sre?s he was especially prominent as an
openly avowed, fully equipped, able and
boroit free trader. He rai.ked as a free
trade exponent among the greatest advo-
catesof that theuiy in this country or Ens-
land.
In a recent wiie of The Prea Mr. Ilurd
fare his ojxts and frank opinion of tbe tariff
plank in the Chicago platform, from which
acprmra that as an "out and out free
trader" he views it as a "step forward in the
march to ultimate free trade." No Demo
crat can dispute Mr. Herd as a free trade
authority. Here are a few of his words :
Tue platform means that there shall be t
Uialiou upon articles imparted into this
country which come into competition with
similar articles produced ia tbis country ;
that is, that tbe law shall not be used for the
protection of tbe manuiactarer ofaa articie
into competition witb which u.m f..r, ,
article comes. It is a step forward
n tbe march to ultimate free trade. Jt
turns tbe attention of all Democrats in the
country ta that ultimatum.
When tbe Democrat press and orators at
tempt to prove that "a tariff for revenue
only" is not free trade, their argument can
be disproved by the honest admission of
this distinguished free trader in the words
her quoted. Tbe ultimatum of the nation
al campaign is free trad on the one aide
and piotection on the other.
'
Not a Question of Politics.
rnder tbe above caption tbe Democratic
New York .Sun says :
" We regret to notice that some of our
I"emocratic contemporaries are treating the
Honxsiead incident in a partiian fashion,
for which there is no excuse. They assume
that because Mr. Andrew Carnegie and bis
associate at Homestead have been encaged
in an industry protected by the tariff, and
because a dispute as to wages has arisen be
tween the employers and employed, protec
tion is responsible for the Homestead mur
ders and mischiefs. In Congress, too, cer
tain persons who suppose themselves to be
Democrats have insisted upon this view.
" If strikes were never heard of in un pro
lected industries, if, in fact, the greatest
strikes in tbe country Lad not occurred in
unprotected industries like tbe steam rail
roads and tbe horse railrcads. if free trade
Enjrland were not a country of atrikea, and
if air these facta were not known to evesy
txidy with education enough to read large
print, these assumptions ruirht be worth
contradicting. As tbe ca- is, they are so far
fetched and wildly absurd that we fear they
will bring discredit upon tbe Democrats in
tbe national campaign.
"This is not a question of partisan pol
itics ; it is deeper than that, for it goes to
the very heart of social order ad the pre
servation of all that has been won for civili
zation. Tbe Democratic politicians and tbe
newspapers that are trying to obscure the
real questions are doing all in their power to
injure tbe Democratic party."
O'Donnell In Prison.
PiTTFBcacH. July 2. Hugh O'Donnell
and Hugh Ross, against whom warrants
had been issued, came to Uiis city this morn
ing, and held a consultation with their at
torney, W. J. Brennan. At the close of their
talk with Mr. Brennan the two workmen
proceeded to Alderman McYasters' office
and pave themselves up and were by him
committed to jail.
Attorney Brennan at once entered applica
tion for the release of Messrs. Ross and
O'lKmnell on bail. This request must be
made to the Judges of tlie County Court,
w ho have been atked by the attorney to
grant an early bear.ne.
B. fore going to Alderman McMasters' of
fice O'Donnell and Ibisa wet.t to the Alle
gheny (Vmnty Criminal Court, wh-r? Judre
Mare was trying a trivial ease. 01KnneIl
wrote a note and banJWl it to a tip
Mai!" to carry to Jnde Magee. The note
was signed by O'Donnell and Roes, and
read :
Hu'b O'Donnell and Hngh Ross, charged
with murder, are in court and freely surren
der themselves to the honorable court.
The two men followed the tipstaff to tbe
bar and ware there when Judge Magee had
finiibed reading the note. His Honor look
ed at O'Donnell, the famous strike leader,
and l-i'.i :
" Well, what do you want of me ?"
" Well," replied O Donnell, " we want to
know what to do. We are tired of being
cooped np in a room in our attorney's office,
and won't have ar.y more of it, as we are
entirely innocent of any wrong and want
what is ri t;b t. Why if it had not been for
me, every Pinkerton would have been kill
ed. If saving the Uvea of 2U0 men is mur
der, I think it funny. I never was in court
in my life, and I want to be told what to
do."
Judge Magee appreciated tbe position of
O'Donnell and Ross, and said :
" Your attorneys should advise yon ; this
is not the place to come. You should go to
the Alderman who issued the warrants ; he
will take you. You will have to go to
jail if vou go to him, as he cannot take
bail.
Then if you desire you can to-morrow ap
ply to Court for your release on bail, and
will hear you."
Without further parley O'Donnell and
Ross left the court Room. At the entrance
to tbe Court Hone they met Alderman Mc
Masters, who had issuid the warrants for
their arrests. O'Donnell introduced him
self and Ross to the Alde.-man. Tbe latter
took them to bis office and two Constables
tooE them to jail.
On the way to jail O'Donnell said to a re
porter :
" This is rather queer treatment of a man
who tried to save the live of those Pinker-
tons. However, I am an innocent man and
you saw me yourself as I faced those men,
and our own as well, when I went to the
barge to receive their surrender. I was not
in Pittsburgh yesterday. I was in New York
and came in on the limited last night So
you see I did not try to avoid arrest by Lid
ing myself."
The two men had quite an escort to the
jaih A number of friends, newspaper men
and others, accompanied tbe prisoners, and
Mr. O'Donnell was frequently stopped by
men who knew him well to shake hands
with him.
Deputy Warden Soffel unlocked the big
iron door leading into the jail corridor, and
the party passed within. The usual formal
ity of searching the prisoners was passed
through, and shaking bands with all of lie
party, O'Donnell and Ross passed behind
the door leading into the compartment
of ceils.
O'Donnell seemed to feel keenly the po&i
tii in be now occupies as that of a prisoner
held for murder. Friends of the two men
have not allowed them to live on prison fare
to-day, but have supplied thej with good
meals. It is said the two leaders may be
compelled to remain in their cell for several
days on technical points by which their re
lease on bail can be delayed.
Late this afternoon O'Donnell' attorney,
John F. Cox, went to the jail and asked
permission to see the prisoner. They peered
at each other through the bars, and there
was a painful silence for a few minutes.
"Well?" said O. x.
"Well," said O Donnell, 'I have decided
to retain you no longer. I will argue my
own case and throw myself on the mercy of
the Court"
I ve heard such fool talk before." said
Ci-x, "and before you are through with this
you w 111 be glad to seek legal advice."
Here tbe conversation suddenly tennina
ted. Cox withdrew and O'Donnell was led
kick to bis cell. Tbe warden has taken
O Donnell at bis word. If the latter has no
attorney he shall not be permitted to see vi
y i- . . ...
turn, uu oruinary treatment, wbicn in
dudes ordinary prison fkre, will hereafter be
accorded tbe late leader at Homestead. It
is a surprising move on the part of O'Don
ne.i, mis raanyr onsiness, accompanied as
it is by a bread and water diet.
O'Oonnell's Cass Billable-.
Tl T I - .. .
j i. .i -n, ju.y - .. a large crowd was
prec-ut ibis morning in the Criminal Court
room to hear the decision of Judge Magee
on tbe application of Hugh O'Donnell, the
ilonustead strike h-ader, for his release on
bail, u Donnell was less nervous than dur
ing his hearing and seemed to be confident of
his release. O'Donnell, Boss, Foy, and
Alien were brought into cjurt at 9 : 3i.
Jut!s'e Maree said: "I have gone over
tbe ea-e carefully. Tbe evidence shows the
defendant was not an active participant in
the killing. It show he was in sympathy
with the crowd, and he, by his idly standing
ey, is responsible for the acta. I do not
think there is any doubt about tbe right of
the prisoner to be bailed, and will fix it at
$I0.0OO. The way it stands he is eh.rehl.
with murder in the second degree."
district Attorney Burleigh Under Your
Honor's ruling w are contert that the
other defendants be admit ted in the same

The Court then proceeded to accept bail
for the defendants.

An Anarchist Attempts the Life

Although, Very Badly Wounded Man,
Mr. Frick't Physicians Think He

Two Bullets Ttail His M.
Ptttsbcwgh, ra July 23. A desperate
attempt was made this afternoon to murder
Henry C. Frick. the chairman of the Carne
gie Steel Company, Limited, and tbe sole
manager of tbe great Carnegie steel mills in
Homestead and elsewhere. He was shot
in tbe neck.
The murderous band was thrown np on
tbe third shot and the bullet embedded it
self in the wall over Mr. Frick's heed. The
would-be assassin then attacked him with a
knife and stabbed him twice in the back be
fore be was overpowered.
He was just on tbe point of beirg shot
down for his deed, when Mr. Frick, who re
tained consciousness, notwithstanding bis
fearful wounds, interceded for him and sav
ed the life of bis would-be assassin.
DTSAvm is bis mocth.
Later the man tried to destroy himtelf by
chewing a fulminate of mercury cap, such
as Anarchist Ling used to kill himself is
the prision at Chicago, while he was await
ing the execution of the death sentence. He
was discovered before he bad succeeded in
biting into the cap and his plan of suicide
was frustrated.
TAB ASKASBIS'S FLANS.
Last Saturday afternoon a young Russian
Hebrew called at the office of the Carnegie
Steel Company and wanted to see Mr. Bos
worth, who is Mr. Frick's private secretary
and confidential man. He was a very ordi
nary looking person, with all the character
istic features of the Russian Hebrew, tbe
aquiline nose, tbe thick negro liis and the
deep brown eyes.
Mr. Bos worth's oflioe is on the fifth floor.
Going up on the elevator, this young roan
confided to the elevator boy that he was in
the city on inijortant business connected
with tbe steel company, and that he hoped
Mr. Bosworth was in. On the fifth floor he
banded a card on which was engraved
" I'erkman, represnting the Kew York Em
ployment Agency," to a boy.
BIS STBA5GE ACTIO!.
The young man walked np and down tbe
office once or twice and then went out and
down the elevator without waiting for Mr.
Bojworth or without a word of explanation.
The following day he called again and went
through the same performance. This time
Mr. Bosworth told the boy to send the man
in at once, but before tbe boy could walk
from the inner to the outer oflice to deliver
tbe message the man bad disappeared.
Again on Tuesday tbe man came and again
be disappeared before Mr. Bosworth could
see him. Some of tbe clerks in the oflice
noticed this time that the man appeared to
be very nervous, that bis face was Mushed,
and although tbe day was not a very warm
one, the perspiration was literally pouring
ofl bis forehead and bis chin.
WASTED TO SZC VFICK.
On Thursday he called again. This time
be asked to be let otf at tbe second fioor.
He said he wanted to see Mr. Frick in per
son. He gave the boy there a card like tbe
card be bad left upstairs on his previous
visits. Mr. Frick was busy. The boy waa
in Mr. Frick's room perhaps five minutes.
While be was gone the young man stood
with his back turned toward all the clerks,
and apparently he was studying a map of
the ouke regions which hangs en the wall of
the outer oflice. At the end of a minute or
two be stamped his foot and muttered some
thing to himself and then walked out and
down tbe stairs. When the boy came back
aud found the man gone, he threw the card
in the waste-basket
A PETEBMISED VILLA15.
Tbis morning he showed up again about
11 o'clock. He looked spracer than on any
of bis former visits. He wore a new suit of
erav clothes. He had discarded the flannel
shirt that he wore for a clean, white shirt
and he wore a clean collar and cuffs. He
was clean shaven and he had a new derby
hat He was very nervous. He aiked the
elevator boy if Mr. Frick was in and bow
long he usually staid at the office on Satur
days. He remarked, when the boy told him
that Saturday was just the same as every
other day in the steel company's offices,
"Well, that's good."
He hesitated a moment when be got off
tbe elevator, and half turned around, as
he would go back. Then he turned aaui
and s'arted for the stain. Finally be head
ed for the door.
AXXIOIS TO GET AT HIS TITIM.
There were half a dozen tiersons inside
the outer office when the young man went
in. He looked around at each of them
The boy who looks after visitors said
"Here, sir." Tbe young man started and
then thrusting his hand into his inside coat
locket, drew out another of his cards and
banded it over.
Oh, you were the gentleman who was
here the other day," said the boy. " Why
didn't you wait 7"
Take that in to Mr. Frick," said the
young man sharply. He started and his
hand shook when the boy spoke to him
He walked over aain to the map, studied
it a moment, and walked out rather hur
riedly. One of the clerks remarked, "that's
a funny fellow." The boy re'tirned at this
moment and would have called him back
Mr. Frick had referred the card to Secretary
Lindsley, but the man was out of the build
ing before the boy reached the head of tbe
stairs. At 1 o'clock he came again and
airain sent in his card. Mr. Lindsley was
out and the card went again to Mr. Frick
Again the man disappeared before tbe boy
returned. This time Mr. Frick sent out
word Le would see the man himself.
THE FATAL VISIT.
It was just five minutes before 2 o'clock
when the queer visitor called again. His
nervousness tbis time bad nearly all disap
peared. Tbe clerks and the oflice boy
laughed when they raw mm come in this
time. He walked up to the boy with an
air he had not bad before, and handing bis
card over the rail, be said : "Take this at
ouce ; I'm in a great hurry."
I think be s waiting to see you," said
the boy, as be took the card.
Mr. Frick' private office is in the front
of the building, facing the street. It
about 25 feet long and 14 feet wide. Next
to it to the left and also facing the street i
the office of the vice-chairman, Lei-bman
Tbe office into which all visitors enter is di
vided in the center by a wooden railing.
Behind this railing are high desks, where
book-keepers work. The entrance to Mr.
Frick's oflice is a swinging door. Mr. Frk k's
desk is a long, flat oak affair, and is directly
in tbe centre of the room.
When this man called tbe last time Mr
rncc waa in bis room sitting in front of
tbe desk and sideways to tbe door. On
tbe opposite side of the table Vice Chair
man Lei sh man sat. He was looking out of
tbe window and was talking. Mr. Frick'
left elbow rested on the desk, one arm was
thrown over the arm of his chair, and his
free wa partly turned away from the door.
raiCK (HOT DOW!C.
The boy, when be took tbe card, started
at once for tbe private office. Ha bad just
placed hi hand on tbe swinging door and
was pushing it open when the younir man
stepped inside of the rail. One of tbe clerk
said, sharply ; - Wait !" Tbe man paid no
attention. Ia two strides be reached the
door to the private office and caueht it

Highest of all ia Leavening
ABSOLUTELY PURE
At the moment be did so Mr. Frick look
ed around and instantly tbe man pnlled the
tripper. There was a sharp report. Mr
Frick started bac k and a stream of blood
gcthed from bis neck. The man took a
step nearer and fired again. Again Mr.
Frick started back and for a minute be ap
peared about to swoon.
A FIGHT WITH THE ASSASSIiC.
At the first sbot Mr. Leishman leaped to
his feet. He wis bewildered. At the sec
ond sbot he recovered himself. He bound
ed around tbe desk ; tbe man was in tbe act
of pulling the trigger the third time' when
the vice chairman came within reaching
distance. He threw np his arm and caught
the man's wrist and rwucg it up aud back,
tbe bullet crashing np into the ceiling back
of tbe man's bead. Mr. Leiahman held the
arm with the pistol with one band while be
seited tbe man by the throat with the other.
Then began a struggle.
At the second shot blood bad spurted
from tbe other side of Mr. Frick's neck and
it wa running down over his clothing. He
recovered from the shock of his two wounds
at the third shot and got on his feet and
fairly threw himself on the struggling men.
Round and round the trio wrestled, getting
nearer the front windows all the time.
Though slight in figure the assailant seem
ed possessed of herculean strength. Twice
be nearly wrenched himself loose. He was
trying hard to free tbe band in which be
held tbe pistol.
FSK e's M.CVKY riliHT.
Once he succeeded and snapped the trig
ger. The pistol missed fire. Leiahman
seized the hand again and held it Mr.
Frick had grasped the man about the waist,
pinioning the other hand. Xow they all
three appeared about to fall. They swayed
bark and forth. Not a word was uttered.
Mr. Frick was becoming weak ; bis blood
was staining his assailent's clothing. Again
the man wrenched himself loose. His left
hand was freed and he plunged it into his
back pocket. At just tbis moment, Leiah
man, by a mighty effort, wrenched further
back the hand holding the pistol and, gain
ing a purchase, succeeded in tripping tbe fel
low. Down on tbe floor be went in a heap.
All this had taken less than two minutes.
Tbe clerks outside had just recovered from
the shock that tbe three pistol shots bad giv
en them. They rushed pell-mell to the
door, and in time to see the fall, and there
they stood stupefied.
STABBED TWICE.
As he fell, be succeeded in drawing a
stiletto from bis pocket with his free left
hand. Mr. Frick and Leiahman were on
their feet bending over him. The stiletto
flatbed though the air and was driven with
force into tbe back of Mr. Frick. With
hardly a moment's pause, it was withdrawn
and again plunged forward into Mr. Frick
back. Then the wonrded man succeeded
in grasping the hand that held it, and,
throwing his weight un it, pinioned the
arm to the floor. Leisbman held the other
band. Tbe man wi helpless.
riD t SAVED THE ASSASSlX.
The clerks recovered their self-possession
and ran to the aid of their two emp'oyers.
Ieputy Sheriff May was at their head. He
bad been up to see Secretary Lovejoy, and
had been sent down stairs to get a pass to
go to Homestead. He got to the door of tbe
private office just in time to see the stabbing.
He drew his revolver as he ran forward an-
was about to shoot. "Don't shoot ! Ion'
kill him !" plea led Mr. Frick. "Iton't shoot
Don't shoot! The law will punish him:'
One of the other men seized the Deputy
Sheriff revolver and held it. Two others
got the pistol and the stiletto.
The three shot that had been fired had
been beard all over tbe building and out
into tbe street, and a part of the struggle
i-sclf had been seen by persons in the street
WASTED TO LTStU HIM.
W ithin a minute or two after the man
was conquered no less than two hundred
l-ersons were crowding into tbe room.
There were two policemen with them They
bad heard the shooting. They relieved Mr.
Frick and Mr. Leiahman and took the
prisoner in hand. No sooner had they got
him than there were cries of ''Shoot him
''Lynch him 1" and the like.
THE ASKASS1S IS FalSON.
The patrol wagon in which the assailant
of Mr. Frick was taken away was followed
to the police station by nearly a thousand
persons, all of them worked up to the greatest
pitch of excitement and many of them
continually crying "Lynch blm !"' "Shoot
him 1" "Kill him !" Before the police wotil
take In in out of the patrol wagon on it
arrival at toe station a second platoon o
reserves were callea out to ciear the way.
The prii-ont-r on the way to the station bad
become fearfully frightened and was shaking
like a leaf, his face was pale, and he was so
weak that he actually could not step down
out of the wagon without assistance.
He had to be helped into the station hou
lie could not answer the usual questions
for several minutes. Inspector McKelvey
took him, back into tbe cell department
anu gave mm a annt or wbisxy to revive
him. He was then locked np for a few
minntes.
THEPEISOSES'S RISTOBT.
ben he had recovered sufficiently to
speak he was brought out and the inspector
questioned him as follows; "What is your
name?" He responded "Alexander Berk
man."
"Age?"
" Tweuty six years."
" Where do you live."
" Forty second street, Xew York city."
"Occupation?"
" Compositor on a New Yoik paper."
nat is the name of the paper upon
which you are employed ?"
" Th Xew York"
Berkman started, but after thinking
moment positively refused to answer the
question.
" How long have you been In Pittsburg?
rsked Inspector McKelvey.
"I came on Thursday and have been
taying at the Merchants' Hotel, on Water
street"
BE K5EW rKll-C.
Before Inspector McKelvey issueJ an order
to exciude all person from the police station
exeei the officials who were needed, Brk-
ruan was asked :
-I'oyou snow Mr. r near' The pris
oner replied : "We all know Frick."
hen asked to tell why be attempted Die
murder, Berkman responded: "That is a
queer question to ask."
After Ibis series of questions the pri
oner was searched by McKel vy and Detective
Sol Coulaon.
rOCKETlTLOr rABTSlUGES.
In hi pockets were found thirteen 3H-
calibre cartridges, six cigarettes, a tin
cigarette case and five cent in money. His
finger were yellow-stained with nicotine.
showing him to be cigarette fiend. He
bad an old fashioned silver watch, which
had stopiwd at just the time of the straggle
in the office. After the search the man was
taken back into a cell, and Police Surgeon
Oldshueand Detective Coulson and Inspector
McKelvey made him strip to tbe skin.
PTSAXtTEIS Bit MOUTH.
Tbe detective looked him over for sny
marks of identification, but he found none
save a sore spot on tbe back. It looked
like an old wound. While the search had
been going on tbe prisoner had held hi
bead high and had talked as though ha
bad a pebble in his mouth. This was not
noticed until the examination was nearly
over. The police surgeon said to him
suddenly.
Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Ilcport.
Tbe color came Into the man's cheek and he
answered "nnthimr," making an attempt al
tbe same time to control t!te muscles of his
jaw. The snrgeon took and invrted a
dejKrwr between the man's tettb, forced
open bis mouth and inveMlga! d the interior
with hi finger On the left side he found
copper tube that looked ilke au ordinary
blank cartridge. It was nearly an inch
long and was half tilled with a brownish
looking substance. Inspector McKelvey
said at once, '-That is a dynamite cartridge.
Turning to the prisoner be a-ked. '"What
were you going to do with that ?"
A 8ACCT ralsOSEk.
" I don't know that that is any of your
d business." was the reply in broken
English. Tbe man' clothing was carefully
searched again and another one of the
cartridge-hke tubes was found. Iosiector
McKevey took them immeUiateiy to a gun
store and there learned that they were caps
containing the very high explosive fulminate
of mercury.
WOILD DATE KlLtED HIM.
The gunsmith said that they were com
monly nsed by blasters to explode charges
of dynamite, and the concussion of one
would bave been sufficient to blow the roan'
bead to pieces had he succeeded in causing
it to explode by the friction of his teeth. It
was a cap exactly like this that Ling, the
Chicgo Anarchist, put into the end of a ciar
and with which he blew his head to pieces a
day or so before he was to have been execut
ed. The prisoner took the discovery of these
cartridges in a pleasant enough way, and
he was a trifle more communicative after
they had been taken from bim.
A I'EUKEEATE tUT.
In answer to the second queston put by
Inspector McKelvey, as to why be had shot
Mr. Frick, he $aid : "You've gr-t no business
to ask me a question like that but I dun't
mind telling you that I came here to shoot
him becau-e he is an enemy of all the
people."
In answer to another question he said
that he bad been in the Country six year
and that he had worked at his trade as
cigarmaker in New York city for three
years.
rain's Awri L wot sns.
Pittsbieo, Pa., July 23. When the
policemen were taking the prisoner away
the men in Mr. Frick's oflice for a moment
forgot the wounded man. He stood np and
leaned on the det-k for fully a minute. He
attracted attention to himself when he said,
with a forced smile :
"Well, I believe I feel like fainting."'
Kind hands were b eld out to support bim
and be was gently lifted and placed on the
lounge. His clothing was torn from bim.
In the meantime two of the clerks sent out
hurried calls for doctors, aud three came.
They said on the first examination that
there was little hope of his recovery, but
they went to work prubing for the bul
lets.
TUET FOrSD A BrLLt-T.
They found one; the Gr-t that wa3 fired
had passed in at the rii;ht of the neck and
acros-s just below the skin. It was iruUdJed
in tbe muscls about the left shoul Jer.
The second they could not find for sev
eral hours and they found it in almost the
same place in the right The course had
been tbe same, only it was from the left to
the right. They said then that there was
every probability that Mr. Frick would
recover and they made the following bul
letin :
THE OFFICIAL BI LLETIS.
" Two shots entered the neck about the
ba'teof the skull, one on cither side. One
passed out between his shoulders and t'.e
other was removed from opposite side of
the neck. The third shot missed. There is
no evidence that the stab wounds are deep
or that they will prove dang.-rous. They
are on the right side, one at tbe border of
the lower ribs, the other just below the bip
bone. Have no evidence that any of the
wounds will prove serious. His condition
at present is perfectly satisfactory."

Shlras' Nomination In Danger.
Wasu:s,.tos, D. C , July 2:1. After the
brief session of the Senate Juditiary Com
mittee to-day it seemed less likely that the
Shiras nomination would be confirmed at
this session. The four Democrats who con
trol the committee intimated plainly to the
two Republican members of the committee
that they bad no present iutention of per
mitting the nomination to he reported to
the Senate.
As Congress is almost certain to adjourn
within a week or ten days, this was equiv
alent to saying that the nomination was to
be "hung np" until next session.
