Prick Almost Well.
Pittsboro, July 29. Tho bulletin is
sued by Sorfjeon Litchfield at '9 o'clock
this morning says: "Frick passed a
comfortable night, and is resting easy,"
but Frick is doing more than that. He
is now almost well. - His wounds have
not only healed, but there la no trace of
inflamation. nor has suppuration been
noticed. He eats heartily, reads much,
and sits propped up in bed Daily the
beads ot toe departments report to mm.
and practically the wounded chairman
directs the conduct of the enormous Car
negie business. The gas retorts in the
Carnegie City Union mills started this
morning, and will be increased in pressure
until the mill is ready to start There are
about 150 macbinistb and laborers mak
ing repairs to both plants, which are
nearly finished, and when Spermtendent
Dillion givet the word both mills will be
perated. Meanwhile tne strikers stand
idly by, and the company is prepared to
fill both mills with nou-nniou men st
short notice. Sufficient non onion men
were sent to Homestead last night and
this morning to increase the number
there to 900. This morning the tugboat
Tide took 75 men up river to the Home
stead mills. There have been no other
departments started, but the entire plant.
with the exception of several of the slats
mills, are doing business.
THE FINANCIAL EFFECTS.
The great strike has beeu on a month.
and it is estimated the loss of all kinds so
far is over $1,000,000. The strike is sen
ously affecting business in town, as many
merchants have not capital to graut long
credits. One groceryman failed this
mornmg. Non union men are receiving
many threatening letters.
THE INTENTION OF A TRAMP.
The story of the riot on a train from
Cincinnati vesterday bringing men to
Homestead, was the invention ol a tramp,
and wholly nntrue. The men on the
rain are all now at work at Homestead.
Strikers are Becoming AKKressiv.
Homestead, Pa., July 29. Several
incidents have occurred recently, going
to show the temper of the locked out
steel -workers, and to make plain the fact
that the candition of affairs is not im
proved. In this respect the withdrawal of
so many troops has given some but
beaded men among workmen the idea
that tbey now have more liberty to forc
ibly prevent the coming of non-union
men to the works. The society for . pre
vention of cruelty to strikers is transact
log business. Forty five non union men
were placed in the Homestead works this
morning. The 23 inch mill started to
day. The men are being familiarized
with the working of tbe mills.. Many
non union men tiave received letters
threatening tbem with personal violence
unless tbey leave the employ of the Car
egie Company. This morning the fol
lowing notice was up at tbe foundry
works:
Homestead, July 29. 1893 Notice:
AU uon union men desiring t leave Car
negie's works without delay will be pro
vided for by the onion men of Home
stead, but all who stay at work will seek
his God. AU are Iwioe spotted : beware.

Walla Walla, Wash., July 29. In
tbe superior court this at tern 00 n Alber
tina Reames commenced suit against F.
Parker, editor of the Statesman, for
$25,000 damages for an article published
in the paper in August, 1890. A similar
suit was commenced by tbe same woman
several months ago against P B John
son, editor of tbe Union Journal, which
now in court, . Tbe article which was
published in tbe Statesman and other
papers is as follows:
News has been leceived in Davton of
the attempted poisoning ot Frank Dunn

port is tbt Mrs. Dunn, tired of ber hus

After recovering from it. be took the
peabes remaining in the can to different

developments are anticipated.

Vemsaent er the Europcaa Press.
LoNDOir, July 29. It is reported that
the foreign representatives at'Sofia un
successfully Interceded in behalf of the
conspirators executed Wednesday. The
Vienna and Berlin" papers uphold - the
necessity of tbe executions. Svoboda, of
S 6 a, gays tbe mourning families should
curse Rntsia and her diplomacy, at whns
doors the guilt onlv lies. The French
pape-a papers almost unanimously con
di-iiin tiie executions as murder. The
Times says: ' Prince Ferdinanand Pre
mier Stambouloff are guilty of assasioa
tion. Tbe trial and verdict are hypo
critical outrages Europe can no longer
tolerate a raving madman, who has
power to kindle a disastrous European
war," Other French papers have equallv

Trouble Is Coming:.
-Spokane, Jnlv 31. T. S. Chaplin re
turned from Marcus last night and
brought startling news of tbe state of
affiirs on tbe Colvil'e reservation. The
Indians are up in arms against tlie white
invaders, and have fired tbe reservation
in order to expel tbem. Prospectors
have been clubbed and driven out. One
paity of 10 were stoned oS on Tuesday,
and driven clear to the Columbia river
ferry. Large fires are ragiofc all over
t'ie reservation, and it is supposed, that
the Indians have turned incendiaries to
compel the white raeo to leave the land
1 he reservation is dry, and there is no
telling where the fires will slop. They
are bound to expose mines of value that
would probably he hidden for ages. Tbe
Indians are sullen, and are said to be
holding a prrw wow, which will possibly
lead to trouble. Chief Arborken went
towatd Fort Spokane 00 Monday, with
25 'nbes. and expressed his determina
tion of clearing the reservation of all in
truders. If tbe prospectors do not keep
on the reservation some one will be killed.
Indian Agent Co e has frequently warned
intruders to keep off the reservation, and
if trouble comes the white men alone are
to be blamed. A company or two of
legulars have been ordered to stop all
warlike attempts of the whites or reds.
THE REPORT VERIFIED.
A telephone message Irom Rock ford,
near the scene of tne threatened Indian
trouble, says: "Several men here from
the OilviUe reservation report that differ
ent bands of .Iodians are engaging is
dances which bods no good for the tqnat
ters. There seems to have been some
preconcerted plans on tbe part of tbe red
skins to act together at a fixed time, and
the present troubles are probably the
result of this agreement. The Indians
are greatly incensed at the failure of tbe
authorities to eject prospectors, and even
those wbo heretofore have been peaceably
disposed, semed to have caught tbeinspi
ration from tbe others, and all are armed.
The removal of all intruders would settle
the trouble, and Indian Agent Cole bas
received official notification that troops
will be piaced at bis disposal for this
purpose as soon as those from Fort Sdo
kauc can be spared from the Coeur d'Al
ene mining region. The authorities at
Colville, tbe seat of Stevens county, do
not expect a serious outbreak.
A pmeeman SI ordered. -
Tacoma, July 30. Minor Cudihee, a
patrolman, was killed to-night by an nn
known man at East D and 32d streets.
Cudihee and Jack Kinney were walking
together when they came across two men
lying on tbe sidewalk. Cudihee said
"Hello! what are you doing here?" Both
men jumped up, and one went at Kinney
and tbe other at Cud bee with knives.
Cudihee put up hi3 left arm and warded
off tbe first blow. The man struck again.
stabbing Cudihee to the heart, wbo died
in five miuutes. No motive whateyer is
known for the murder ot tbe policeman.
but it is supposed tbe men were Ijing in
wait for some one. knives were in their
bands ready, and the policemen did not
bav revolvers or any means' ot defense,
as thev were off doty and going to visit
Officer Hoi lister, who has a broken leg.
Office! Cudibee lived here three years,
having been m tbe commission business
before he was on police force. He came
from Detroit, Mich where be has parents
and brothers and sisters. Cudibee bas a

Aen. Nnswden Talks.
Philadelphia, July 30 General
Snowden bas returned from Homestead
He says few people understand the situa
tion accurately, as there bas been a
practical press coosorship, and " corres
pondents are prevented from describing
tbe situation as it actually exists. He
says the trou'ile is by no means over; tbe
men are' merely overawed by the pres
ence cf the military. As long as this
state ot affairs exists, a brigade of troops
will remain on the ground. Tbe strikers
are full of threats, and declare that they
will have the lives of the non-union men
as soon as tbe military leave. They be
lieve the works belong to tbem as much
as to tbe Carnegie company. , General
Snowden savs be ordered Private lams to
be disgraced and. drummed out of camp,
but declines to' say what bis opinion is
as to tying, bim np by the thumbs,
though he intimates tbe punishment was
deserved, as bis act was treason in a time
of actual revolution.
Does It Mean Commercial War?
San Francisco, July 29. A private
cablegram froltf London to-day states
that tbe Victorian government has, in re
taliation for the passage of the McKinley
bill, raised the import duty to $6 25 per
thousand on Oregon pine, and the duty
on canned fruit to six cents a pound, or
about 15 cents a tin. It is believed to be
the first gnn from the British provinces
in what is expected to be a great com
mercial war. It is par'icnlarlv bad news
for Sao Francisco, for it is tbe port of
entry for Australian products, t and tbe
point whence canned and othr goods are
shipped to Australia. Tbe belief in buxi-
ness circles, to day was that the other
products shipped from this country would
be attacked in turn.
Serves at Hi(n Tension.
Wabdneb, Haho, July 29. All tbe
prisoners at Wallace have been turned
over by the state authorities to Deputy
United states Marshal Dryden, who bas
called General Carl in for the necessary
guard to hold them. He will be at
Wardner to morrow to receive tbe oriso
ners at that place. A blast fired at the
Last Cbancoiine to day caused quite a.
flutter oi excitement. A huge cloud of
smoke was seen to ascend tbe mountain
side, and tbe conclusion was jumped at
that dynamiters, were at work, until it
was learned that the blast was fired by
tbe employes of the mine. Tbe troops
were ready for an instant call.

' Homestead, Aug. 1. It is announced.,

tal attack on the Pinkertons after their

the issue. .

Condon Globe; Wednesday morning about
4 o'clock a 15-ton stack of hay belonging to '
Dan Ward was burned on bi plae ten
miles DOith of town. A stack containing
fonr tons, only a few feet away, did not
burn. There is not tbe slightest clue as to
its origin, but there is no doubt as to it be
ing the work of an incendiary. Mr. Ward
ia a very poor man, and the loss falls heayi y
upon him. A man must be pretty low in
pnnciple who will destroy such property
through petty spite. Hanging is too good
tor such dangerous and vicious beasts.
