FIVE HOMESTEAD STRIKERS
HELD FOR CONSPIRAOY.
O'Donnell and Others Have a Hearing
On That Charae. The Troops

Five of the leading metalsT oi the
Homestead ndvlory committee were given
a hearing biTore Alderman McMnstcrs at
Pittsburg on a charge of conspiracy, anil all
gave J.ti hail for court. This charge Is n
recent one, on which but n few of the many
have been arrested. Secretary Lovejoy of
the Carnegie company preferred the charge,
as he has all he'etofore, against the Home
steaders. Those tried were Hugh O'Donuell, George
W. Sarver. David Lynch, William T. Hub
erts nnd William McCnnegey, the latter lin
ing secretary rf the ndvisory board. The
lawyers in the in-e were John S. Ilohb, K.
Y. Itrcc k nod D. F. Patterson lor the prose
cution and William Itreuiien nud John F,
Cox for the defense.
The case opened with nil address by At
torney Itreunau. 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 those who hire them, to )oiu any ormini.

fimoimcciof titirftr, and was at Home
stead for that piqs-r on July 2. and before
mid after Ihut date, lie whs nsked about a
resolution printed in the paper relating to
the exclusion of men from the Homestead
works, and said that Hugh O'Doiiuelt gave
him the Information, also the resolution
for allowing two men to work the pumps In
Ihe mill that supplied the hill di-trict witli
water.
Fmnk H. Mctjulstnn of the ''oinuirrelnf
f.'fi;cfr wa then called. He said be wns at
Homestead for the 'lines. Regarding the
statement published about keeping people
out of the mill he said :
'l understood that the men would be al
lowed to finish their turns mid quit nt (I
o'clock on the morning of July I. Alter this
time no one would benllowelto enter the
mill except those who were furnished with
sse fi-nm the advisory committee of the
Amalniimated Association. That is, no one
except the clerks of the otlicein the employ
ot the I arnegies, 'Hie guards around the
town, a 1 understood, wen divided into two
watches. I was told that each entrance of
the mill would be guarded. I understood at
the same time that ibey anticipated no at
tempt on the p-irt of anyone to come in.
There were men put at each gate. I went to
the gate opposite Mr. Potter H residence and
spoke to about -o men. I nsked if anyone
was going into the mill and they raid: 'I'y
- Ho one can net in.' "
The next, witness was 11, A. Wood, nsstst
nnt siipcrintcnilaiit of the Homestead milt.
He Ideiitilied n letter he received from the
ndvisorv committee on July 2, which was
signed I'V Hugh l Doimell. He also Ideii
tilied li'lioiiiieH's handwriting. Continu
ing he said:
"When I went from home nt 8 o'clock to
go to the otlice one of the many men who
were in front of the gate to the mill says,
'you can't u In there,' mid I attempted
to push by him, and he put out his hands
and pushed me back, and repeated that 1
could not go in. The clems were all stopped
too. 1 was stopped again on tlio Friday bil
lowing that, and the man ordered me out
by order of the committee."

Ibis closed the testimony. The letter
signed "Advisory Committee'' was offered
In evidence by the commonwealth. The
defense produced no witnesses. Attorney
Hrciinan nsked that the men be discharged,
saying that n conspiracy case had not been
made out. He said that things began to
savor not of a prosecution, hut of n persecu
tion, that the defendants were all under in
dictment for other misdemeanors, and asked
the prosecution to uithtKiw ami let the de
fendants stand trial on the charges already
against them.
Mr. Itobh thought the defendants were
guilty of conspiracy. II" said: "Tlio advis
ory hoard were the gentlemen who coaxed
and urged poor devils, who knew no better,
on into a murderous riot, and now they
must suff er for it."
Alderman McMaslers held them under

bail bonds were renewed.
TIIK I.AWI.KSS KI.KMtiNT I'ONTIPtl'ES TO HOB AND
lll'AT MKN.
Homestead had some very exciting Inci
dents I'rlila ami Ihe lawless element there
seems to be getting desperate.
When John Weaver, a non-union man,
started to move his family and elici ts into
one of the company houses in the mill yard,
they and the deputies were surrounded by u
shouting crowd, principally women, yelling
"scab," etc. A boisterous Sluv was arrested.
One maii drew a revolver to shout one of
the deputies. Colonel Gruy savs women
will be prosecuted for inciting riot. They
have hccoitio very troublesome.
A French cook, bound for the mill, was
taken by soni men at tlio Knit Works sta
tion, w here he got oil', led down the track,
the mm sayiiu they would take him to the
mill, and brutally robbed ami beaten.
Wednesday night Patrick Morgan, a non
union heater, whi'e intoxicated fell into the
hands of a numlier of men representing
themselves to be deputies, who escorted
him to the woods in the rearof Homestead,
and, after robbing him of (25 in cash, his
hat and shoes, beat him until he was insen
lihle. Sixty-seven non-union men reached
Swissvulo, hound for the big steel works.
Seven deserted there. Kvery department of
the null was reported to he in operation
Friday. Twelve non-union men, guarded
by two deputies, came out of the mill and
took dinner ul u resiuurunt. There was no
trbuble.
THE STAY OF THE TROOPS.
1'IIEr WILL BE HELD AT HOMESTEAD UNTIL
FEAR OF TIIOI'RI.E IS OVER.
Adjutant General Greenland having been
asked wli n the troops ut Hnmmtead would
probably be withdrawn, replied: 'I'nder Ihe
present circumstances the troops will have
to remain; how long, the circumstances
from duy to day will have to develope.
The uncertainty of the strike may chunge
the situation 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 soma time, ami promi
nent citizens of Pittsburg and Allegheny
City told me that they were positive tiitt if
the troops were withdrawn now the force
inside the mills would be driveu out by the
strikers within 48 hours."
General Greenland now estimates that the
troubles at Homestead will coat the State
about ;iiuu0. He has already puid out
$218,000 for transportation, suhHisluiice of
troops and service. He asserts that it will
cost the State at least 100,000 yet before the
trouble is dellnltely settled. This does not
include the wear and tear of equipments,
arms, tents, etc.

Judge F.wing oh Saturday held "Jack"
Cliftonl, s Homestead striker, without bnil
for the murder of J. W. Kline, n Pinkenon
detective, on July II. Before the hearing his
bondsmen on Ihe two preieeding charges
surrendered him. They hail become un
easy because of the recent conllictingg ssip
about f'lillord and bis arrest on the second
charge of murder.
The testimony against ClilTord wa
strong. He was nervous bearing it. John
Cooper, who was in charite of the Plilliidi I

ciiards, tesiilied lliat he saw J. W, Klein
fall on the bow of one of the barges during
the lirst volley from the shore, on the morn

ford on the shore ns the barge approached
the Utuiliii:.' and saw him after the gang
plank was shoved out, sliouttmr and lesding
the mob. He was armed. He called out to
the barges: "Hon't land or every one of
you will be killed." He was near the barge
and could be seen plainly, both before and
lifter the tiring began. Cooper said he saw
Clifford aeaiii at the time ot t lie surrender
in the afternoon. It was Clifford wdio waved
a white Hag from behind a barricade on the

Cliftonl then beckoned to some men on

joined Clifford in insuring protection if the

IRON WORK SRS OO OUT.
A Big Striks On at th Juniata Mills of
Shoanbervor, Spser de Co.
The A00 Iron workers at the Juniata mills
of Slioeuberger, Speer fc Co., Pittsburgh,
dropped their too's and struck out of sym
pathy for the steel workers. The firm
succeeded in partially starting up its plant
non-union. The Inm workers struck under
orders Iroin Vice-President John I'. Shea
ban, who made the move after consult'.ng
the national elllcers of the Amalgamated
Association.
One of the firm said: "We have gone into
this tiling adviedly ami will li-'ht it out. We
uncle a contract with tbo Atnulgumnted As
sociation. Hy this strike they liuvo broken
it We are willing to pay fair, but not un
fair wanes. This i what they ask us to do.
We have demanded the same rates as were
grunted Jones X Lnughiin for making steel
per man per ton. The men argue that Jones
fc Luuglilins turn out more steel. Tint' Ones
not help the case any. We cannot pay any
nio c per man per ton. Wo do not get any
more per ton. The trouble is mainly In the
converting mill. The blooming null scule
would have been satisfactorily settled, in
thu converting department the redm-iiou we
ak from the scule that was presented to us
is, on nn average, 13 per cent, 'lliere is a

want a reduction of 1-1 per rent. Ihe
workers otlered us fl per cent, our piute mill
is one of those mills tout wus formerly run
und-r a jobbing mill scale, and as a result
we raid more lor rolling plates on it thsn

We advertised to-iluv for a plate mill roller,
and will pay him :i.otxi a year. The roller
on this mill last year made ubout $7,000. We

The net mil arrival of Asiatic cholera nt the
port ot New York has brought to the front
the question of suspending immigration to
Ihiscouutry altogether during the preva
lence of cholera in (lie Kusterii hemisphere.
It is admitted that such a measure would
only lie Justitiisl by the most pressing dan
cer! bill this dancer, in the opinion of some
liieh ntllcials, is at bund. Government olti
cers are ransacking records mid rending up
on former scourge. Assistant Secretary
Spaiildnig, who has immediate control of
the matter, was found this afternoon deep
ly immersed in a history of the smallpox:
epidemic of H7i, "All the machinery of
the Government i at work on this cholera
Im-inc'," lie said, "and nil the precaution
taken in lss.i h.wo already been taken by
us."
I ontinuing Mr. Spnulding snid that under
the existing 'piiiruntine laws such restric
tions could he imposed that would practic
ally susMMid immigration, but he would not
sny that such action was iuimediately con
tcinplnted. An eminent lew officer of the
Government, wdio has given the subject
much thought, s lid to day that in his opin
ion, the pre. (lent bad the jxiwer to suspend
all iiiimUratioii, if in bis judgment ha
deemed it necessary for the public welfare,
wdiile the scourge lasted. This opinion is
entertained by others.

A leading physician writing from Vienna
says that ut the Kppendorf hospital then!
nre Huo patients siiflering Iroin vnrioiis mal
adies, fhn numlier of doctors is totally in
ndeipinte to uttend to the demands made
upon them. When cholera patients ate
taken into the hospital the ordinary patients
nre removed into oik. room to make space
fortliein. The w riter declares that ho saw
2isi dead.
Another doctor reports that the ordinary
nieansof disimsiiigof the dead have been
found innileipiate. Furniture vans havo
been pressed into service to curry the bodies
to Ihe place of interment. He says the
whole -ystein is contused and everything
goes alo'ig in a haphazard fashion. So great
lias grown tlio demand for hospital service
that it is proposed to tit up the M-hools and
gymnasiums as hospitals. Describing his
visit to Old Hamburg hospital, he says he
found affairs there in a far more ho'rrihlo
condition than nt the Kpsuidorf hospital.
In the dirty, neirlwted passage he saw
bundle of clothing lying on the floor await
ing disinfection. Among these package
lay a large number of the bodies of tho-e
who bad died from cholera. These bodies
showed the carelessness with which they
were Handled, for they lay in every con
ceivable way, just a they had been dropieil
by the hospital attendants. F.ven to those
inured to hospital scenes the sight of these
bodies of men, women nml little children
being thrown promiscuously together wus
revolting.
The doors of the wards opening on theri
passages are left wide open nnd the sick
can actunllysee the ever-growing numlier
of the dead. To get Into the wards the
eople have to step over Ihe corpses and the
idles of infected clothiii'.'. The over-crowding
ill the wards is fearful.
For from forty to sixty patients there nre
only two attendants and one tha-tor. So ab
soluteand widespread is the confusion that
patients who are not suffering from the
epidemic lire taken into the cholera wards
w here they contract the disease.
