They had been pounded al- most beyond recoginition on the gravelly beach. The steamer City of Green Bay, arriv- ed from Deer Park. Its captain reports that 18 bodies from the wrecked steamer West : ve Liave been recovered at Deer FIVE HOMESTEAD STRIKERS HELD IOR CONSPIRACY, O’Donnelland Others Have a Hearing On That Charge. The Trocps to Remain. Five of the leading memburs oi the Eomestead advisory committee were given a hearing before Alderman McMasters at Pittsburg on a charge of conspiracy, and all gave $2,000 bail for court. This charge is a recent one, on which but a few of the many have been ar-ested. Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie company preferred the charge, as he has all heretofore, against the Home- steaders. Those tried were Hugh O'Donnell, George W. Sarver, David Lynch, William T. Rob- erts and William McConegey, the latter be- ing secretary cf the advisory board. The lawvers in the case were John S. Robb, E. Y. Breck and D. F. Patterson for the prose- cution and William Brennen and John F. Cox for the defense. The case opened with an address by At- torney Brennan. who held it was useless to have the hearing because the defendants were not guilty of conspiracy by the law that permits laborers to leave the employ of thuse wno hire them, to join any organiz- tion and adopt and put into effective use resolutions or rules governing the same without subjecting them to indictment for conspiracy by common law. It was decid- ed to go on with the case, however, and Frank J. Kelly was sworn. He testified that heis a reporter on the Commercial Gazelle, and was at Home- stead for that paper on July 2, and before and after that date. He was asked abouta resolution printed in the paper relating to the exclusion of men from the Homestead works, and said that Hugh O'Donnell gave him the information, also the resolution for allowing two men to work the pumps in the mill that supplied the hill district with water. Frank B. McQuiston of the Commercial Gazette was then called: He said he was at Homestead for the Zimes. Regarding the statement published about keeping people out of the mill he said: “I understood that the men would be al- lowed to finish their turns and quitat 6 o'clock on the morning of July 1. After this time no one would be allowed to enter the mill except those who were furnished with passes from the advisory committee of the Amalgamated Association. That is, no one except the clerks of the office in the employ of the Carnegies. The guards around the town, as 1 understood, were divided into two watches. I was told that each entrance of the mill would be guarded. I understood at the same time that they anticipated no at- tempt on the partof anyone to come in. There were men put at each gate. I went to the gate opposite Mr. Potter's residence and spoke to about 25 men. I asked if anyone was going into the mill and they said: ‘By -— no one can get in.’ ”’ The next witness was B. A. Wood, assist- ant superintendant of the Homestead mill. He identified a letter he received from the advisory committee on July 2, which was signed by Hugh O'Donnell. He also iden- tified O’'Donnell’s handwriting. Continu- ing he said: “When I went from home at 8 o'clock to go to the office one of the many men who were in front of the gate to the mill says, ‘you can’t go in there,’ and I attempted to push by him, and he put out his hands and pushed me back, and repeated that I could not go in. The clerss were all stopped too. I was stopped again on the Friday fol- lowing that, and the man ordered me out by order of the committee.” Edwin O. Christy. a newspaper reporter, identified Hugh O’Donnell’s hand writing on the letter to Assistant Superintendent oods. G. H. Hotchkiss, a Pinkerton detective, was next sworn. He is acting superintendent of the Pinkerton agency,and resides in Phil- adelphia. Captain Breck wanted to prove by him that Jack Clifford had said that Hugh O'Donnell was a member of the ad- visory committee, but the opposing attor- neys objected. This closed the testimony. The letter signed ‘*Advisory Committee’ was offered in evidence by the commonwealth. The defense produced no witnesses. Attorney Brennan asked that the men be discharged, saying that a conspiracy case had not been made out. He said that things began to savor not of a prosecution, but of a persecu- tion, that the defendants were all under in- dictment for other misdemeanors,and asked the prosecution to withd#aw and let the de- fendants stand trial on’ the charges already against them. Mr. Robb thought the defendants were guilty of conspiracy. e said: ‘The advis- ory board were the gentlemen who coaxed and urged poor devils, who knew no better, on into a murderous riot, and now they must suffer for it.” Alderman McMasters held them under $2,000 bail each for court, and their other bail bonds were renewed. THE LAWLESS ELEMENT CONTINUES TO ROB AND BEAT MEN. Homestead had some very exciting inci- dents Frida - and the lawless element there seems to be getting desperate. When John Weaver, a non-union man, started to move his family and effects into one of the company houses in the mill yard, they and the deputies were surrounded by a shouting crowd, principally women, yelling “scab,” etc. A boisterous Slav was arrested, One man drew a revolver to shoot one of the deputies. Colonel Gray says women will be prosecuted for inciting riot. They have become very troublesome. A French cook, bound for the mill, was taken by some men at the Salt Works sta- tion, where he got off, led down the track, the men sayinz they would take him to the mill, and brutally robbed and beaten. Wednesday night, Patrick Morgan, a non- union heater, whi'e intoxicated fell into the hands of a number of men representing themselves to he deputies, *who escorted him to the woods in the rear of Homestead, and, after robbing him of $25 in cash, his hat and shoes, beat him until he was insen- sible. Sixty-seven non-union men reached Swissvale, bound for the big steel works, Seven deserted there. Every department of the mill was reported to be in operation Friday. Twelve non-union men, guarded by two deputies, came out of the mill and took dinner at a restaurant. There was no trouble. THE STAY OF THE TROOPS. THEY WILL BE HELD AT HOMESTEAD UNTIL FEAR OF TROUBLE IS OVER. Adjutant General Greenland having been asked when the troops at Homestead would probably be withdrawn, replied: ‘Under the present circumstances: the troops will have to remain; how long, the circumstances from day to day will have to develope. The uncertainty of the strike may change the sitnation'in a very few hours. The troops may remain three month and may be withdrawn in 48 hours. General Wiley is emphatic in his opinion that the troops should remain for some time, and promi- nent citizens of Pittsburg and Allegheny City told me that they were positive that if the troops were withdrawn now the force inside the mills would be driven out by the strikers within 48 hours.” General Greenland now estimates that the troubles at Homestead will cost the State about $325,000. He has already paid out $218,000 for transportation, subsistance of troops and service. He asserts that it will cost the State at least $100,000 yet before the trouble is definitely settled. This does not include the wear and tear of equipments, arms, tents, etc. HUGH O'DONNELL SURRENDERS AGAIN. 4 Hugh O'Donnell, William McGonegley Washington... 13....30 and George Sarver, who are among those charged with riot and conspiracy, or both, by the Carnegie officials, came to Pittsbufg and entered bail before, Alderman McMast- ers, and Harry Naughton was brought from Homestead and lodged in jail.: This makes 10 arrests on these charges and Secretary Lovejoy said that over 100 warrants had been issued. "Donnell entered bail in $2,000 on the riot charge for trial at court and in $1,000 for hearing before Alderman McMasters on Thursday. Burgess McLuckie and Thomas J. Crawford came to Pittsburg to offer bail for James Gibson, who was committed to jail on Monday. The surety they proposed was Mrs. Brovinski, who has a store in Homestead and does business in her own name, though she has a husband living. The Alderfnan ref aceept her on the ground that a married woman could not be held to such a contract. MORE ARRESTS. Jack Clifford, the member of the Advis- ory Committee, of Homestead. who gave Hotchkiss, the Pinkerton detective, infor- mation concerning the committee, as testi- fied toat Alderman McAllister's office Thursday, is now in jail, having been plac- ed there Friday on a second charge of mur- der’by Secretary F. T. F. Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Company. A charge of conspira- cy was also made against Clifford, but on this he gave bail fora hearing. Matthew Foy was also arrested again ona ° charge of killing Captain Kline, of the Pin- kerton force, and was committed to jail un- til his bail could be fixed by court. Hugh O'Donnell. Hugh Ross ‘and William Foy are wanted on a similar charge and were arrested. The other arrests were Elmer E. Bail and Patrick Fagan, charged with conspiracy: Oscar Codilesh, Peter McAllister and James H. Hall, charged with riot. All furnished bail except Hall. Thomas M. Vance gave himself up and entered bail for an appear- ance on charges of riot and conspiracy. “JACX’’ CLIFFORD HELD. Judge Ewing on Saturday held “Jack” Clifford, a Homestead striker, without bail for the murder of J. W. Kline, a Pinkerton detective, on July 6. Before the hearing his bondsmen on the two preceeding charges ’| surrendered him. They had become un- easy because of the recent conflicting g ssip about Clifford and his arrest on the second charge of murder. : The testimony against Clifford was strong. He was nervous hearing it. John Cooper, who was in charge of the Philadel- phia and New York squads of Pinkerton vuards, testified that he saw J. W. Klein fall on the bow of one of the barges during the first volley from the shore,on the morn- ing of July 6. Coopersaid that he saw Ciif- ford on the shore as the barges approached the landing, and saw him after the gang- plank was shoved out, shouting and leading the mob. He was arined. He called out to the barges: “Don’t land or every one of you will be kiiled.” He was near the barges and could be seen plainly, both before and after the firing began. Cooper said he saw Clifford again at the time of the surrender in the afternoon. It was Clifford who waved a white flag from behind a barricade on the top of the bank, Cooper went outside and waved his handkerchief. Clifford then de- scended the bank and said: ‘‘We have held a meeting and decided that this thing has gone far enough.” The Pinkerton captain replied: ‘i think it has, too.” Clifford then beckoned to some men on the bank, and was joined by Hugh O’Don- nell and a man who showed a badge and claimed to be an officer. These two men joined Clifford in insuring protection if the Pinkertons surrendered, and all these went into the nearest barze. In the case of Nathan Foy Judge Ewing said he was clear- ly entitled to be out on bail. He fixed the amount at $10,000, which was given. HE SHOT ALL IN SIGHT. A Hired Man Attemp:s Triple Murder and Xills Himself, After quarreling with his employer about wages due him, John Skinner shot and killed George Feitner, a prosperous farmer of Cross Creek township, three miles from Steubenville, Ohio, and to cover his crime shot and dangerously wounded Mrs. Annie Feitner and her mother, Mrs. Henry Meiske. Territied at his awful work, he then fired four shots into his own breast and head and was dead when found. The tragedy was not discovered until the following morning, when Dr. Fisher, who | has been attending Mrs. Feitner during an illness of typhoid fever, called. intering, he found the bodies of Feitner and Skinner lying on the blood-covered floor. Upstairs Mrs. Meiske and Mrs. Feitner were lying in bed with bullet wounds in their "heads. Mrs. Feitner was conscious, and the story of the terrible affair was related by her. Skinner had been employed as a f:rm hand by Feitner for two years. Lately they have had many quarrels. The placing of a bolt in a threshing machine was blamed on Skinner, and he was discharged. e re- moved his personal effects to the home of his sister, Mrs. Holmes, at Fernwood. In the evening he returned to the Feitner farm hou e to get the money due him. He had :old a horse for $30 for TFeitner and he had been promised all over $25 that he would receive forit. He got his wages and then demanded the $5 on the horse eal. This was refused him, and the fatal quarrel began, resulting as above stated. IRON WORKERS GO OUT. A Big Striks On at the Juniata Mills of Shoenberger, Sp2er & Co. The 500 iron workers at the Juniata mills of Shoenberger, Speer & Co., Pittsburgh, dropped their tools and struck out of sym- pathy for the steel workers. The firm succeeded in partially starting up its plant non-union. The iron workers s:ruck under orders from Vice-President John P. Shee- han, who made the moveafter consulting the national officers of the Amalgamated Association. One of the firm said: ‘‘We have gone into this thing advisedly and will fight it out. We made a contract with the Amalgamated As- sociation. By this strike they have broken it. We are willing to pay fair, but not un- fair wages. This is what they ask us to do. We have demanded the same rates as were granted Jones & Laughiin for making steel er man per ton. The men argue that Jones % Laughlins turn out more steel. Tha’ does not heip the case any. We cannot pay any mo e per man per ton. We do not get any more per ton. The trouble is mainly in the converting mill. The blooming mill scale would have been satisfactorily settled. In the converting department the reduction we ask from the scale that was presented to us is, on an average, 15 per cenit. There is a separate fight in the plate mil. There we want a reduction of 124 per cent. The workers offered us 5 per cent. Our plate mill is one of those mills that was formerly run under a jobbing mill scale, and as a result we raid more for rolling plates on it than was called for in the regular plate mill scale. We advertised to-day for a plate mill roller, and will pay him $3,000 a.year. The roller on this mill last year made abut $7,000. We shall win this fight, tithough it may take a vear.”' ~ The LengueRecord, The following table shows the standing of the various base ball clubs: Post- Per Won. Lost. poned. Cent.

Steamsnip ‘Moravia Brings the Scourge From Hamburg. Awful Suffsring in Germany. The steamer Moravia, which arrived at New York from Hamburg, last week, bad 22 deaths during the passages from cholera. The first de «th took place August The 19 and thelast one-August 29. Twenty were children and two adults. Thirteen were natives of Poland, three natives of All im- Hesse, one Austrian, tive Prussians. were buried at sea. The steamer was mediately o'dered into the lower bay. The Moravia is under quarentine, anchor- ed in Gravesend Bay. where she is out of the usual track of vesse's. The baggage of the passengers has been under disinfection by steam. So * SUSPEXNDING IMMIGRATION. WASHINGTON AUTHORITIES LOOKING UP THE LAW FOR 1T—TALK OF POSTPONING THE WORLD'S FAIR. The actual arrival of Asiatic cholera at the port of New. York has brought to the front the question of suspending immigration to thiscountry altogether during the preva- lence of cholera in the Eastern hemisphere. It is admitted that such a measure would only be justified by the most pressing dan- ger, but this danger, in the opinion of some high oificials, is at hand. Government offi- cers are ransacking records and reading up on former scourges. Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who has immediate control of the matter, was found this afternoon deep- ly immersed in a history of the smallpox epidemic of 1835. ‘All the machinery of the Government is at work on this choiera busines,” he said, ‘‘and all the precautions taken in 1885 have already been taken by us.’ Continuing Mr, Spaulding said that under the existing quarantine laws such restric- tions could be imposed that would practic- ally suspend immigration, buthe would not say that such action was immediately con- templated. An eminentlaw officer of the- Government, who has given the subject much thought, said to-day that in his opin- iow; the president had the power to suspend all immizration, if in his judgment he deemed it necessary for the public welfare, while the scourge lasted. This opinion is entertained by others. MISERY IN HAMBURG. CHOLERA PATIENTS DYING WITHOUT PROPER ATTENTION IN FILTHY HOSPITALS. A leading physician writing from Vienna says that at the Eppendorf hospital there are 800 patients suffering from various mal- adies. The number of doctors is totally in- adequate to attend tothe demands made upon them. When cholera patients are taken into the hospital the ordinary patients are removed into one room to make space for them. The writer declares that he saw 200 dead. Another doctor reports that the ordinary means of disposing of the dead have been found inadequate. Furniture vans have been pressed into service to carry the bodies to the place of interment. He says the whole ystem is’ eonfused and everything oes along in a haphazard fashion. So great as grown the demand for hospital service that it is proposed to fit up the schools and gymnasiums as hospitals. Describing his visit to Old Hamburg hospital, he says he found affairs there in a far more horrible condition than at the Eppendorf hospital.” In the dirty, tn passages he saw bundles of clothing lying on the floor await- ing disinfection. Among these packages lay a large number of the bodies of those who had died from cholera. These bodies showed the carelessness with which they were handled, for they lay in every con- ceivable way, just as her nag been dropped by the hospital attendants. Even to ee inured to hospital scenes the sight of these bodies of men, women and little children being thrown promiscuously together was revolting. The doors of the wards opening on these passages are left wide open and the sick can actnally see the ever-growing number of the dead. To get into the wards the people have to step over the corpses and the piles of infected clothing. The over-crowil- ing in the wards is fearful. For from forty to sixty patients there are only two attendants and one doctor. So ab- solute and widespread is the confusion that patients who are not suffering from the epidemic are taken into the cholera wards where they contract the disease. NINE CASES IN MALINES. Nine cases of cholera have been reported at Malines. a city fourteen miles from Ant- werp. Malines is the central station for railways which traverse Belgium in 211 di- rections. 3 CHOLERA IN WALES. Two seamen belonging to the steamship Harrington were removed to the hospital at Swansea, suffering from what is suspected to be an attack of cholera. THE GHOLERA IN ENGLAND, There are three cases of cholera at Dover, $he chie? port of communication with Eng- and. 20 DAYS QUARANTINE PROCLAIMED. _ President Harrison on Friday took a de. cisive step toward preventing the dread cholera scourge from getttng a foothold in the United States. He had a consultation with “Attorney General Miller, Secretar Charles Foster, Assistant Secretary Spaunld- ing, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Dr. Wyman, Supervising Surgeon General of the United States Marine Service. As a result of this conference, the following quarantine circular was issued. ; signed by Secretary Foster and approved by the Presi- dent : ’ To Collectors of Customs, Medical Officers of the Marine Hospital Service, Foreign Steamship Compaives, State and Local Board of Health: It having been officially declared that cholera is prevailing in various portions of Russia. Germany and France, and at certain ports in Great Britain, as well as in Asia, and it having been made to ap: [rar that immigrants in large numbers are comin aforesaid, and that ; are liable to pat they Aq thelr nig Sects States, and that vessels conveying them are there by a direct menace to the public health; and it hav- ing been further shown, that under the laws of the several States, quarantine detentions may be im- posed upou these vessels a sufficient length of time diseases, it is hereby ordered that no 3 from any foreign port, carrying i + migrants, shall be ad- ‘ mitted to enter at any port of the United States un- til said vesse! has undergone a quarantine deten- tion of 20 days, unless such detention is forbidden by the laws of the State or the regulations made tuereunder, and of such greater number of days as may be fixed in each special case by the State au- thorities. This circuiar to take immediate effect, except in cases of ves-els afloat at this date, which will be made the subj-ct of special consideration upon due applica fon to the Department. The arrivals of the steamers from Europe particularly those from infected ports that are now at sea. is anxiously awaited by the quarantine officials.

A MEDICAL JOURNAL GIVES SOME 80UND ADVICE: ABOUT THE SITUATION, The American Druggist, in its current is. sue, gives some sound advice regarding the" cholera scare. It says: A great many people are giving themselves un- necessary trouble about cholera. The disease is only formidable where inadequate means exist for” grappling with it. Deficient and impure water sup- ply 's the primary cause of its origin in Asia. Dirt, ignorance and Ww, 1 Ss of 1 1 that have been reaching us from the [fected dis- tricts in Russia and Germany, or shut them out alto- gether for a time. there is no sense in people being panic-stricken here. No person need fear the chol- era if he exercises ordinary care in diet, cleanliness” and sanitary surroundings. FIVE MORE DIE ON SHIPBOARD. : On board the plague stricken Hamburg- antine in New York harbor, the Norman- nia. Rugia and Moravia, there was much: excitement Sunday, caused by the spread of the terrible disease—cholera. : The Normannia and Rugia arrived Satur— day, both bearing the pestilence. On the former five deaths from cholera had} occur- red during the passage and four people were: sick with it. On the Rugia were found five® cholera. sufferers, while four had died at seas of the disease. Shortly after the arrival here of the Normannia Charlotte Hunger, aged 9 months, a steerage passenger, and’ Mary Bonnichsen, aged 16 months, died of’ cholera. THE BOURGOGNE HEALTHY. The French line steamer La Bourgogne arrived Sunday morning. Health officer’ Jenkins received from the vessel certificates: from United Sta‘es Consul Williams at Havre, and special boards of French medi- cal examiners, that the vessel had been thoroughly fumigated and bore no trace of cholera. Nobody cn board being ill, Health. Officer Jenkins certified that all were, well on inspection at this port. All the first-class passengers of the City of Rome and Umbria bave been landed, neo infection being found on board. ; During the 24 hoursending at 3 p. m. Sunday there were three deaths on the Nor- mannis, six new cases among the steerage’ passengers and two among the crew. Two of the Rugia's patients have died, and the ¢ 3-year-o!d bov aboard the Moravia,who was stricken on Friday, has also been number- ed among the dead. More deaths are ex— pected, and if there ever existed any doubt: that the disease aboard these vessels wast not cholera it has béen dismissed now. = On the Normannia, Emma Storms, 8 years: old, steerage passenger, and Heinrick Lam- mers, 47 years old, steergage stewart, died!’ while in transite to the hospital. On the: Rugia, Christine Hansen, aged 10 years,and Peter Hansen, age 8 years were taken sick. Antonia Hark, aged 17 years, died. On the Moravia, Abraham Schneidermann, aged 8, died. All the dead were taken to Swine burn-I-land and cremated. / The faregoing facts show that the out~ / look is dark. and all hands on hoard the quarantined vessels are preparing for a long: siege. As to the probabilities of the disease getting into the country there need _be no alarm, if the present precautions are carried out. Sober thoucht, a car«ful observation: of the directions as to cleanliness and cheer-- ful compliance with health regulations will produce the result most desired at this? critica! time. An evidence of the proper: attitude at this time was the heartv cheers: of the i.a Bourgogne's passengers during the- examination to-day, when told of the pre- cautions necessary. They all were ready to- wait till it was deemed proper for them tos be released. 2,518 PEOPLE DEAD AT HAMBURG.
