PITTSHl'UG, Jul) HI.- Reports re
Icivcd from all sources ctinmstisl with
the grnil strike of the steel workers Inili
cnte tlmt tin1 inrnils-iK (if the Amalj;a
nuiti'il iiKsocintioii' linvc mutters well in
liiind and that I hi' strike order hits Ik'cii
gciierullj- oIm jciI. Telcgrnms from vnil
oiis points where the mills of the Anirri
enu Tin Plate eoiiipuny, the Ainericnu
Stwl Ilisip company and the Ameriinii
Shi-et Steel company lire located told of
the shutting down of these plants in
large number.
In many cases the plants bin! been
shut down by the lirst strike, which af
fected the sheet stivl nud steel lump com
panics only. Tile last order brnintht out
all or the union plants ef the American
Till Plate company with the single ex
ception of the new mill iu Munesseii,
which is still running.
At the Amalgamated association head
quarters It was stated that the ligiires
given Saturday night regarding the num
ber of men who would be actually Idle
ill the mills of the thrie companies had
Ihs-ii proven correct. This number was
placed ut 74.IKNI. The strike, although
one of the greatest that has been de
clared In recent years, will only affect
Pittsburg slightly. Despite the fact that
this city is anil Tor years has been the
rccngniicd Industrial center of the world,
President Shaffer's ni l ion in calling the
men of the American Sheet Sti-cl. Amer
ican Till Plate ui"! American Steel lbsip
companies out on strike will hare but lit
tle hearing on the commercial life of
Pittsburg. This is a peculiar fact, but
It is nevertheless true.
Of the 7 !. men idle, S.oiHl are In
I'it'shurg. SIS) in Allegheny anil l.rsM) In
McKccsport. President Shaffer has It
in his power to close many more Pitts
burg mills, but It is not tl gilt tlmt he
will do anything of fl radical nature un
til he is compelled to.
The American Steel lloop company's
supiOTscilly non-union mill, known as the
l'.iinter mill, ill West Carson street, was
closed yi'sterilay morning ill all its
branches. The tienp nt this mill was
said to have been a suipise to the mil 1
owihts anil oltliinls iu charge of it. The
other plant, known ns the I.imNay &
McCiitiheon mill in Allegheny, was shut
down completely in the puddling ami bar
mills. All the skilled workmen refused
to enter the mill and the company did
not even operate the five furnaces. The
liiiihing department of the mill was
working during the day as the men nre
not in the union, hut it Is claimed by the
workers that the employes in that de
partment w ill soon join them.
While all the mills or tile United
States Steel corporation nre iuehidisl in
the general ionlli.1. these thni' compa
nies are the lirst attacked. What the
nest mine would Is? the workers would
not suy. It is announced that the circu
lar letter, which was expected to be sent
nut, calling on the men in the mills of
the I'eilcial Steel company, the National
Steel company ami the National Tube
company to come out, would not Isj Is
sued nt present.
The most interesting report totlienmnl
g.'iuistisl men yesterday was the dis
patch from New York which raid that n
conference of the manufacturers was to
be held iu New York today at which
Winner Arms, vice president of the
American Tin Plate company, wns to
pn sint a detailed account of the exper
lcr.ee of the coininittecs that met the
Amalgamated association in this city last
week. It was slated that the question of
again extending the olive branch to the
strikers or or taking up the fight and
crushing the association would be de
termined. Generally speaking, the work
ers, from President Shaffer down, seem
to be looking for some sort of a settle-
nirnt.
No Hlrlkes In llsrrlnliurg Klrel District.
IIARRISlH.IKi, Pa., July 1(S. The
steel strike is not likely to extend to the
Ilarrislnirg district. None of the mills
Iu this district hare any connection with

The plea of insnnity had liecn urged,

FIFTH TIMETHROUGH RAPIDS
Carlisle 11. I.rshnm A rain F.Ncapc Death
In NlugursS Whirlpool.
NIAGARA FALLS, X. Y., July l.".
Cnrlisle II. Graham yi'sterilay made his
fifth siMvessful trip through the Whirl
pool rapids in n specially constructed bar
rel. It came near being u ratal trip, hut
pood luck nt t led the daring naviga
tor mid he escaped with his life.
Graham's barrel is specially weighted,
so that it flouts upright, the occupant
being in a standing position at all times.
Air is pumped into tile cask sufllcicnt to
Inst about the time it would take the
barrel to make the trip. Yesterday
Graham's nssi-tmit became rattled, gave
the bout a bad start and shored it into
an eddy, where it whisked about for 15
minutes. Only sufficient air to last 20
minutes had been pumped into the cask,
Graliaiu expecting to complete the trip
ill that time. On account of being ih
f allied Iu the cdily he had to open a plug
ill the top of the barrel to admit some
nil', and ndniilteil a considerable quanti
ty of water beside. However, ho eauie
into smooth water iu rail- shape.
Over 5,000 people saw the daring act.
Roth sides or the gorge were lined with
people. The start was made at Sili'i.
The cask lirst flouted Into an eddy where
it was whirled around like lightning for
several minutes. Those on shore real
ized Graham's danger with such a small
amount of air, nail much excitement pre
vailed, the cask remaining out of reach
of the watchers on shore. Finally the
barrel escaped from the eddy and into
the long, swift current in the center of
the river. The little Hag fasleniil to the
side of the barrel gave evidence that (he
occupant was still alive.
At 4:l'l the whirlpool was reached.
The swift current bore the barrel with
its human contents into the man' of the
waters. This was the most dangerous
part of the journey. The cavk was
whisked and tossed about, turned over
and over in every conceivable way, but
always righted when it struck a smooth
spot. The barrel was Iu the rapids just
seven minutes when it wns caught by nn
ejecting current and passed swiftly into
smooth water.
Willing swinuners sprang into the wa
ter, a rope was made fast to the tow
line on the barrel and it was drawn to
land and opened. Graham was dragged
out almost dead. He was badly bruised
all over his body, lie was resuscitated
after a time, hut said he felt terribly
sore. When asked if he would make the
trip again Giuliani said ".Maybe."
Iu 1 Nt It Graham made two trips in the
same manner. The following year he
made another and iu lSPtl he went
through again. He is now "1 years old.
Reside li i in there is only one living man
who has made a similar voyage. He is
Peter Xisseu of Chicago, who on July fl,

Rcnhnni had !hcii sick for several
weeks ami his death was not unexpis tisl.
He becumc unconscious three or four
days ago and did not regain his sense
up to the time he died. The physicians
say he would have been hopelessly in
sane even if he had recovered. Xo plans
have yet been made as to the place of
burial.
The trial of Howard C. If in li a ill on
the charge nf murdering his wile, Flor
ence Tout Iteiiham, was perhaps the
most sensational ever held in Western
New York. It was alleged that Itenhaui
had become tired of his wife and wanted
her money ami that he poisoned her with
prnssic arid, lie was tried before the
supreme court iu I'atnvia and convicted
of murder in the lirst degree. He was
sentenced to he eleclriH UIed.
While in prison awaiting execution he
wrote n book entitled "Ten Years Af
ter," which had iptilc a sale and netted
considerable money for his mother and
sisters.
Au appeal was taken from the convic
tion and a new trial was asked for on
tlie ground that errors had been found
in tlie proceedings of the trial. The ap
pellate court denied that appeal and it
was carried to the court of appeal.
Here n new trial was also denied. His
friends worked hard to have the gover
nor interfere, but without success.
Finally an appeal was taken to the
supreme court, on the ground of newly
discovered evidence. Judge Hooker, at
ltuffalo. granted a new trial. The trial
was held last year at CaaaiMlaigua. X.

after his acipiiltal lleiiham was married

tendency on the part of many to cancel
orders previously given. In the North
West, on the contrary, business seems to
be quite active as the result or excellent
crop conditions, and creifii is reported
being rreely grunted, but in the Middle
West the tenor of trade is apparently
steady, while in the South ordinary con
ditions are noted. But for the week tho
more important developments .in to

been no rainfall whatever for ueurly
three months. The present is the worst
drought since ISim when Xew Kngland

However, Kansas farmers an' harvest
ing one of the largest crops of wheat,
if not the largest, in the history of the
state. A great ninny comities send word

without rain soon no yield. A few say
there is y.-t hope for a fair harvest.
Hay sold yesterday for $2U a ton, 1
cent a pound, the highest price ever
reached iu this market. Ueceipta were
very small.
In numerous places there is no pantur
