Pitthhiixo, Aug. 5 The attempt yes
terday of the Amalgamated Association
to prevent tlie men not organized with
them from returning to work in the
Duquesne mill has lor the time drawn
public attention away from other strug
gles between the strikerd and the
Carnegie steel company. Duquesne has
been a famous battle ground, and the
victories for labor and capital heretofore
have been about even. In this instance
the company has taken active measures
promptly. Late last night Constable
(.irithths, accompanied by James .
Morrison, who was badlv beaten in the
riot yesterday, came to Pittsburg on the
advice of Superintendent Morrison, and
made information for riot against twelve
of the participants, who are mostly
Duquesners, but some of them reside in
Homestead. A lorce ot constables win
sorvo the warrants today and expect
trouble, but are prepared to meet it.
William Weihe, president of the
Amalgamated Association, who has kept
close watch on Homestead events, told
a United Press representative this morn
ing that it might be possible the com
pany had 1,200 men in the Homestead
mill but no more than a hundred of
them had any skill and serious acci
dents were of daily occurrence. "Yes
terday," he said, "when the furnaces in
the open hearth departments had been
tapped and the steel run into a ladle,
the men trving to move the ladle into
the casting pit upset it spilling twenty
live tons of molten metal. The open
hearth department is shut and the metal
lost." Mr. Weihe says his association is
receiving large contributions of money
from all parts of the country. The Car
negie officials tell a different story.
Superintendent Potter says he has so
many men, over 1,300, that no more ap
plications are being accepted nor wdi
they bo until 200 houses at Mun
hall are completed and Munhall, if nil
the Carnegie plans are carried out, will
be a big town in six months. Superin
tendent Dillon asserts that '200 men ar
rived last night. He declares that all
departments are running on single turn
and satisfactorily and the strikers affirm
rjositivelv that he is telling untruths.
A potter there, named Toemer, a brother
of the oarsman, John Teenier is be
lieved by the police to be marked lor
death by the strikers for having twice
deserted his lodge and worked in non
union mills.
The officers have warned Teenier to
be on the watch for violence. Teenier,
however, leaves the mill at will. He
sava he fears no one. The police this
morning and during the night dispersed
largo crowds on Smith-Fields wharf who
were watching uarnegie s service uoat,
the Tide, leave her wharf. She had
Don-union men abeard, and the crowds
were hooting so violently an outbreak
was teared.

this morning,
Homestead, Aug. 5 It is given out
here that the reported strike at the
Studebaker wagon works in South Bend
is the first fruits of the work which has
been done by Hugh O'Donnell since he
left Homestead so mysteriously alter De-
liisr released on bait. He has been visit
ing large establishments using Car-
nede's iron and working with the em
ployes to get them to boycott iron from
Homestead. They give no names, but
say a number of large plants will be
compelled to stop using Carnegie iron
or be closed. The Carnegies have been
expecting such a move but from assur
ances received from customers do not
anticipate any serious loss ot business
There is no change at the mid this
morning and all was quiet at Duquesne
last night and this morning, but the
militia will remain on guard until all
danger seems past. The strikers claim
that most of the old hands who applied
for work have reconsidered the matter
nnd will not 20 in Monday.
Indianapolis, Aug. 5 A special from
South llend says there is no trouble ot
any kind at the Studebaker wagon
worka. The men are working as usual.
The origin of the false report is a mys
tery. Pittshuro, Pa., Aug. 0 Chairman II.
C. Frick arrived at his office at 10
o'clock this morning and plunged at
once into the mass ot correspondence
Carnegie steel company Treasurer Curry
said : "Over 36 tons of first class steel
plate was turned out yesterday inexactly
the same time it would have taken
our former employes to do the work.
We are working on 12-inch beams this
morning, and with the exception of the
Bessemer or converting mills the 28
inch and the new beam mills our entire
plant is in operation. There are now
five rolling mills in oper ition, both open
hearth furnaces are on, with one and
four in others, while six additional
furnaces will be charged on
Monday night. The work bL'ing
done in all departments has
thus far have won derfully satis
factory and there is no longer any doubt
about our ability to operate the entire
plants successfully with our new men.
This morning Mr. Potter received a tel
egram from SuperintendentMorrison, of
the Duquesne mills, stating that all the
men employed in the mechanical de
partment had returned to work and that
by Monday morning nearly all will be
at work. He does not anticipate any
more trouble."

PiTTSitURd, Aug. 8 Secretary Lovejoy
of the Carnegie Steel Company was
asked this morning by a United Press
reporter what was the plan of his com
pany toward the Homestead strikers.
He said: "We have started in on this
conquest of riot by law and it will be
carried to a finish. There will be any
where from 50 to 150 more informations
of murder and aggravated riot chp.rges
made againet Homestead strikers before
we are through with them. We are
(proceeding carefully and get only evi-
made. We mean to make no mistake
and the best detective skill in the coun
try is engaged. We have officers of long
experience at work in Homestead In
formations mado are on evidence got by
these men who will be produced in
court and give sworn testimony.
There would have been more
informations before this but for the fact
that many strikers engaged in the riot
have run away. Meantime evidence
against them is being gathered and
when they return informations will be
made against them and they will be
arrested. If they don't come back they
will be followed up until they are ar
rested and brought back for trial.

mill at this place at 6 this morning.
They returned to work in a

kept in line fully armed for two hours,
but no word ot command was given
One of the returning strikers said
We have been watching the course
of eventa very closely, and while we
would have done all we could
to have helped the Homestead men, we
saw it was useless, that the company
means business and that we could not
win a struggle that would have been
hrrd for the men who have families.
We talked this over and we are glad
now that we took such steps." The
officials are well pleased with the action
of the men. All this news at Homestead
had a depressing effect on the strikers
there, but there was no sign of wavering.

Edward Burke, the Homestead
striker, known a "Rioter," was before
Judge Ewing today, on habeas corpus
healing, claiming mistaken identity and
that he could prove an alibi.
Owing tJ the peculiar surroundings
of the case Judge Ewing de
cided that he could do nothing but
admit Burke to $1,000 bail on a charge
of aggravated riot and give a hearing
on the murder charge. This will occur
at 2 o'clock this alternoon. Meantime

for the release on bail of Fred

in the shooting of Chairman II. C. Frick.
Secretary Lovejoy thiB morning reported
all the affairs oi the company in a satis
factory condition.
St. "Paul, Aug. 6 The international
convention of iron molders thia morn
ing adopted resolutions denouncing the
Pinkerton system, condemning the Car
negie steel company and sympathizing
with the Homestead strikers. The gov
ernment was called on to see justice
done. The militia was denounce! as
always arrayed on the side of capital
against labor. The moulders were di
rected not to connect themselves with
any military organization.
Homestead, Pa., Aug. 6 The day is
uneventful. Cash contributions from
all points of the United States and
Canada continue to come in. Today
committees were appointed for the coal
and coke regions to solicit aid for the
locked out men. At the office of the
Homestead, Pa., Aug. 8 Non-union
men are deserting the Carnegie steel
works by the wholesale. They are
coming out singly, in pairs and groups.
Since Saturday evening considerably
over one hundred men have deserted
and have been received with open arms
by the locked out men, who are in ecsta
cies over the new turn of affairs. As a
consequence they are now more confi
dent than ever that it will be only a
short time until the company will give
in and they will be taken back by their
former employers.
Their organization recognized one of
them who deserted thia morning and
put in an appearance at the Amalga
ted Association headquarters who gave
the name of James Harvey, residence
on Oxford street, Philadelphia. He
was employed by Thomas Bainbrick,
No. 43 Seventh street, Philadelphia, and
in company with a party of skilled
machinista and workmen who were
all informed that the Homestead strike
was a thing of the paBt. They left for
Pittsburg over the Baltimore & Ohio
railwas. At Baltimore they were joined
by another party, making in ali 187
skilled men. When Harvey reached
the Homestead mill office he was told
he would be paid $2.50 a day and be
boarded free of cost.
Yesterday a lot of men got together and
determined to leave the first opportu
nity they could. Harvey says tnat the
majority of skilled men now in the mill
will leave just as soon as they earn
enough money to take them home. The
Hungarians and Italians he says will
stay ts long as the company feed them.
He savs every man in his party
was deceived as to the situation at
Homestead or they would not have gone
into the mill. He Bays he is a graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania and
is not accustomed to bunking or eating
with Italians and negroea. He says
when he applied for his money this
morning the clerks told him the
strikers wouid pounce upon him
and gave him a beating as soon as he
got out. Harvey says it men in the mill
could be given to understand that they
would not suffer at the handB of strikers
the mill would be very soon closed down
for want of men.
Pittshi'ro, Pa., Aug. 8 Richard
Nichols, night superintendent and pud
dle boss at the Thirty-third street mill,
resigned last night and today made a re
port to the strikers of the operations of
the mill since the non-union men
went to work. He says he quit
work because he was asked to do all
sorts of work for the performance of
which no persons are used. None of the
iron made by the non-union men,
he says, has been worth anything,
being burned and sent to the scrap pile.
He reports that the company has really
accomplished nothing but spent a great
deal of money in attempting to
run with the unskilled workmen
now employed. Nichols, the strikers
claim, is a spy for the company and they
sav hiB resignation is a scheme to obtain
knowledge of their movements. He
was not received with any violent de
monstrations of delight. The union mill
men assert that tne breaking of the
Duauesne strike will not affect them in
any manner as their coming out on a
strike did not benefit them. All the
strikers are hopeful and have plenty of
funds.
Visalia, Cal., Aug. 6 Reports came
to Visalia this morning that the Collis
railway robbers were seen a few miles
north of Visalia, alter sun up this morn
ing. It is now known that after the
shooting yesterday the robbers did not go
far, but turned into the brush and
let the pursuers go past. When night
came they drove back to Evans' house
to refresh themselves and their horses
and get the bagB of money. A large
number of men are on the
track of the fugitives thia morn
ing. The olficera will endeavor to
surround the bandits and then hunt
them out of the brush. It is the opinion
of nearly every one that the two des
peradoes will be found and killed. It is
not thought that they will surrender
and the officers will take no chances
with them.
Visalia. Call.. Aug. 6 About twenty
minutes past one o'clock thia morning
Oscar Beaver, a deputy sheriff, was
badly wounded by the fugitive train
robbers at the home of Evans in the
northern Dart of Viaalia. Beaver was
shot with large-sized birdshot and it is
said that each of the bandits emptied a
double-barreled shotgun at him. He
has something over 50 wounds in his
face, neck and body.
About 1 o'clock this morning a party
composed of Oscar Beaver, 1). G. Over
all, W. tl. fox, uonstaoie unaries nan,
of Lucerne, and Detective Thatcher
went out to the Evans place to lie in
wait to catch the fugitive robbers if they
should return. Sheriff Cunningham, of
San Joaciuin county, mined the party
soon alter the shooting occurred. The
men went cautiously to the
place and posted themselves at
different places around the premises.
There are conflicting stories as to what
occurred after the posse reached the
place. Soon alter reaching the place
one of the party said in a low whisper:
There they go, carrying tne money in
sacks." The officers quickly arranged
themselves at different stations. Beaver
going off to one side by himself. The
men entered tne Darn ana soon imer w ore
seen backing the horsea attached to
Sheriff Kay's buggy out of the barn.
This ia the rig they took from George
Witty and Detective sinitu yesterday at
the time Witty was shot. Aa soon as
they appeared with the horses and buggy
Beaver, who was near them, called to
them to halt before they got into the
rii. Beaver fired two ahots at them
with a shot gun badly crippling one of
the horses and also wounding the other
animal. The horse was badly hurt and
thiB made it impossible lor the bandits
to leave in the buggy. Beaver took hia
revolver and opened fire on them. They
must have taken refuge behind the
horse that was not down, aa three or
four pistol balls entered the left hip and
log of the animal. Beaver fired in rapid
succession with his revolver. The
robbers returned the fire with their
shotguns, riddling one side of
Beaver's body from the face
to his waist. One of the
shot wont through his cheek, but the
most dangerous wounds seemed to be
in his chest. Aa soon as Bever fell the
bandits made off with all haste. The
other members of the posse, who were
not in full view of the bandits, thought
they had taken refuge in the barn and
after the Bhooting the wounded man
muBt have laid on the ground 10 min
utes or more before anyone came to his
assistance.
While the guard waa attending Beaver
the robbers escaped about 2 o'clock on
foot, went in a north direction and three
miles from town tried to borrow horBes
from an acquaintance. The officers in
pursuit traced the men four miles north
east where they entered a field. The
pursuers' team gave out and they re
turned to town. Twenty or 30 men are
now in pursuit on horseback. Sheriff
Cunningham says that nodoubtthe men
committed most of the train robberies
which have occurred in this valley.
Excitement is high here, and the men
will be hanged if taken alive. They
can hardly escape, as all thoroughfares
are guarded. Deputy Sheriff Witty,
shot yeaterday, will recover unlesa biood
poisoning occurs, uetecuves inatciier,
Cunningham and Overall have just
started out again.
The robbers are making for Stokes'
mountain, a rugged country with plenty
of water. Evans knows every trail in
the Sierra, i'resno and Tulare counties,
and a man on foot can take paths no
horse can travel. Deputy Sheriff Witty 's
condition haB changed for the wora) in
the last two hours. The danger is blood
poisoning, say the physicians.
Beaver presents a terrible sight. From
his forehead to his feet he ia riddled
with shot. He was standing sidewise
shooting at the bandits when
he received the wounds and nearly all
the shot struck him on one Bide of the
body. At 11 o'clock today he iB not ex
Dected to live long and hiB eyes have a set
and deathlike look. He received 74
shot wounds. He waa standing
only 20 yarda from the robbers when
he was exchanging shots with
them. He was exposed to full
view while the robbers were probably
protected by the horaes and possibly by
the buggy and the barn. Beaver thinks
he hit one of the men.
He lives in Lemoore. He ia about 35
yeais old, and has a wife and child.
He came to Visalia yester
day to assist in the capture
of the robbers. Beaver is said to be a
very brave daring man and is cool
under all circumstances. A few yeara
ago he killed a man in the western part
of the county in an affray over a ditch
dispute. For thia he was acquitted.
Conant is kept
After their
but the officers are very sanguine, feel
ing confident of the capture of the des
peradoes, if they get no further in the

posse from Visalia. The chase will con

going shooting.
V Visalia, Aug. SI All out iwo oi um

morning. The robbers were traced to
Nigger creek where the trail was lost.
It is supposed they are in the brush

found dynamite and caps hidden away.
A bundle of letters addressed to George

he claimed. These letters are a give

THE BRODEN MURDER.
Bridget Sulllt in Taken to Jail for Ex

morning Bridget Sullivan, a servant in
the Broden family, was summoned to
the police station. She walked down in
company with an officer and talked
quite freely on the way.
She looked very much worried and
was quite pale aa compared with her
appearance last Thursday morning when
seen first by a reporter. She
told the officer that
the foulest charges ever made against a
man was hanging over his head.
He waa a member of parliament tor
Belfast when the crime was attributed
to him and he fled to the continent,
claiming he was a victim of a conspira
cy. He was expelled from the British
house of commons on his failure to re
turn and face his accusers and is now a
fugitive from justice. Nothing definite
was heard of him, but it was given out
that he was in Spain or France, lie is,

last night boldly attended cuurcn in
Smithlield village, Fayette county.
They rode up to the Methodist church
door, hitched ttieir noises anu emereu
the sanctuary as calmly as the oldest
members. They wore their belts with
cartridges and revolvers displayed, but
carried no gnus. Aa they met on each
side of t!.e door, they were recognized by
sight but the terrified congregation was
too timorous to go out past the bandits
and give the alarm.
No more outwardly devout than the
outlaws on the back seat could be found
among the members and when the con
tribution box was carried around they
all chipped in. The outlaws slipped
out, mounted and ro !e oil yelling like
Indians. No attempt waa made to ar
rest them. Constable Wilson of this
nlace is organizing i posse here to go to
the vicinity of Dietrich's and trap the
outlaws.

to have the police or any
one else examine her every
action. Since the time she arose Thurs
day until she was asked to go to the
poiico station with the officer she did not
care to talk very much about the details
of the family relations. She said that
she wanted to leave two or three
weeks ago but she was obliged
to remain bv Mrs. Borden of
whom she spoke, however, kindly. She
was taken at once into the city mar

Coluuel King's Sentence.
Memphis, Teiin., Aug. 10 Governor
B ehanau, in Nashville, last evening,
commuted the Bentonce on Colonel 11.
Olav King, who was to have been
hanged next Friday for the murder of
David 11. l'oston on March 10, 1891, on
the public streets in this city. The
usual pressure was brought to bear up
on the governor for the paBt few days.
Senator Harrison, and other leading
politicians, made several calls upon
him, and succeeded in securing the de
aired commutation. The prisoner heard
the news with but little interest.
Colonel King is a brave man and an
able lawyor. During the war he was the
colonel of a Kentucky cavalry regiment,
and fought till the surrender at Appo
mattox. After the war he went to Mom
phis and soon built up a lucrative prac
tice. Everything went well with Colonel
King until he was given charge of the
affairs of the beauti'ul and accompliehed
widow of the late General Gideon J.
Pillow, lie waa employed to represent
her and her two daughters in me settle
ment of the estate. In the doptn ot nis
intatuation for Mrs. Pillow he utterly
forgot the attachments of his own home.
In the direction of the Pillow affairs he
went to his own plantation near iioiena,
Ark., accompanied by Mrs. Pillow.
What transpired there the world will
never know, but suffice it to say that
Colonel King made a deed of all his
property in Memphis and eisewiiere
in fee simple to the widow.
After the trip to the Helena planta
tion, King alleges Mrs. Pillow placed
these deeds on recoru in vtuiauu" ui
secret arrangement, whereupon Colonel
King, having had a breach with her,
filed a bill in the chancery court at
Memphis to cancel the deeds by reason
oj the premature registration. David
H. l'oston, attorney for the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad Company, was em
ployed bv Mrs. Pillow to defend her
case. Ori the morning of March 10,
1891, Mr. l'oston was walking hurriedly
along South Main street, Memphis, and
just as he was lifting his lint to a lady
seated in a passing carriage, Colonel
King ran out from an alleyway, anu,
nlanina tho muzzle of a revolver againBt

that he died on tne evening oi marcu

King's allegation in defense of this
act waB that l'oston at some point in the
trial had taken proof which reflected
upon Mrs. King. Tlie record, however,
discloses no such reflection, and the
shooting was considered most foul.l
Woman or III Repute Inee
Church's Aoilons.
Cheshire, Mass., Aug. 10 Misa Jo
sephine Dumont. the New York woman
who presented tne local linptist cnuren
with many costly guts, is again the bud
iect of discussion among the deacons ol
the church. Miss Dumont, having spent
many outings at Cheshire, became in
terested in the Baptist society, to whicn
she made, from time to time, large
donations of money. She presented
beautiful bible and aoino valuable plate
for church service, and recently the
deacons objected on the ground that
as Miss Dumont was accused of keeping
a hoiiBe of ill-repute in New York gilts
from such a person could not b j accepted
with consistency by a Christian church.
A sharp dispute ensued, and it would
appear that the popular sentiment in
the congregation was in favor of receiv
ing the valuable presents in spite of the
unenviable reputation of the giver.
The deaci ns wore firm, however, and
declared that if the bible and plate were
retained, they would resign. As their
desire waa overruled, their resignations
followed and were accopted. The fol
lowing were elected as deacons to till
the vacant places : Frank Martin, Sam
uel Baker and Edward Brown.
Now a new dilemma has arisen and
one which the deacoiiB who refused to
serve may look upon as a just retribu
tion for ecclesiastical greed. Misa Du
mont has taken offense at the action of
the former deacons in moving to return
her offerings, and not onlv demands
back her bible and plato, but aa well all
the money she has ever given to the
church. Thia the members might be
unwilling to accede to. even if they had

ernor of Kansas, Resigning this post
in 1858, ho was reappointed commis
sioner of Indian affr.irs, which office ho
held till March, 1859. In 1801 he en
tered the national service, waB made
brigadier general, served in the "West
ern states, and resigned in March, 1803.
Alterward he settled in Washington
City to practice his profession as an at
torney. John W. Forney, in hia
Anecdotea of Public Men, says:
"General Denver, while in congress, as
hiurman of the committee on tne Pac
ific railroad, in 1854-55, presented in a
conclusive manner the facts denon
strating the practicability of that great
enterprise and the advantages to be
derived from it."
N kw York, Aug. 10 The World says :
It has been about decided to bring
President Harrison to thia city some
time this month and let him hold a recep
tion similar to the one Garfield held in
1880. Unless some objection should bo
raised that is not in sight at present,
Mr. Harrison will come here and hold
a conference with the Republican
leaders.
The idea of bringing the president to
this city for a general political confer
ence ia understood to have originated
with Whitelaw Reid. Mr. Raid, of
course, borrowed it from the Garfield
campaign. It worked well in tne uar-
heid case, and .Mr. Harrison s friends
believe that it will be equally as effective
thia year. Thoy have not been hasty,
however, in deciding the matter. They
have put out feelers and have canvassed
the subject pretty thoroughly.
It ia the idea of the majority of the
president's friends that it will be a wise
move for him to come here and hold an
informal reception, Thoy believe that
it will do more than anything else to
bring about a good feeling in the ranks
of the party in this State. Before he
leaves Loon lake, it ia understood that
sonio of the moro prominent Republi
cans here will go up and see him.
It is said that an invitation to visit
Loon Lake will bo extended to Mr.
Piatt within the next few days. If the
invitation should he forthcoming, thoro
ia not much doubt that it wouid be ac
cepted. Mr. Piatt has been in a much
more amialilo mood lately which is be
lieved to be due to a better understand
ing between Mr. Piatt and Mr. Harri
son's managers.
As Collector Ilendrick put it after
hia return from Washington, ten days
ago, "The president is anxious to be re
elected. " This ia interpreted to mean
that he is willing to doanything within
reason to get the support of every Republican.

o'clock this morning, and two children,
sons of Milton Tanner, were burned to
death in it. Nine other occupants barely
escaped, one of the number being badly,
though not fatally burned. Throo resi

How the fire broke out is not-known.
When the occupants of the Elliott house
awoke the building was in flamea from
one end to the other. Charles Goodale
lived toward the rear end of the build
ing. He awoke to find the house in
flames. He seized his 14-year-old daugh
ter in hia arms, and followed by his wife
reached safety, although blinded by
smoke.
Milton Tanner, a laborer for the city,
lived on the ground floor in the rear end

New York, Aug. 10 It is alleged that
Hulet Scudder. the young real estate
agent of Huntington, L. L, who disap
peared a week ago last iuesday, is a de
faulter. Hulet Scudder is 30 years of
age. He was engaged at one time
mercantile business in New York, but
subsequently returned to Huntington
and tried his hand at tunning, i.ausr
on he started a hardware store, but
about a year ago he Bold out and went
into the real estate business. Hie oust
ness apparently prospered, but it is al
leged that Scudder (became addicted to
poker playing and betting on horse
races.
A week ago he started for Middletown
and has not been seen since. On ihurs
dav a teleeram waa sent to Middteiown
but Scudder had not been there. YeB-
terdav Scudder's aafe waa opened and
his book b and papers examined. The
result has not yet been announced as the
examination is not yet completed.
Those in a position to know, however,
say there is a likelihood of Scudder's
return, and that if he should he will be
arrested at once. It ia said that trust
funds given him as assignee are missing,
and property placed in his hands for
sale has been sold and the sailers, who
have not received their money, think
they never will.
Dr. W. B. Gibson, with whom Scud
der was intimate, has also disappeared.
Some fear that Scudder has committed
Buicide, but the majority believe that he
and Gibson are now in Canada.
