ALTO ON FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1892. VOL. XVII. NO. 153.

ELLIS ISLAND BUILDINGS. ENDED HIS LIFE. BALTZELLS. FIRE IN A HE CARNEGIE MILLS. 8 CONGRESSMEN ARE WEARY But Not Nearly So Much So aa Many of Their Constituents.

Washington, July 28. The World's Fair amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill is in the exact state it was when the house adjourned.yesterday. The whole of the day was consumed in roll calls; calls of the roll on motion to adjourn until Monday alternated with calis of the house in wearying monotony. A quorum would appear for a moment aud then disappear until tired out at the see-saw game, drooping under oppressive, heat, the house decided to pospone the light until tomorrow. A resolution that the house filially adjourn on Saturday was agreed to by a vote of 121 to 51.

The anti-option bill passed safely to-day, in the senate, through the ordeal of Mr. Wolcott's motion to refer it to the committee on li nance with instructions to report at the next session. That motion was laid on the table. Suggestions were made to Mr. Washburn in view of the intense heat and of the absence of so many senators tliat he would let the bill go over till next session as the unfinished bimirftiHS.

This concession Mr. Washburn declined to make, but he made a counter proposition, that as the bill had been debated tor over two weeks the senate should at 4 o'clock to-morrow proceed to vote on the bill and amendments. Mr. White met this proposition as he had met a similar one on Wednesday, with a very prompt and determined objection. Mr.

Paddock then proceeded to deliver an argument in favor of the bill, saying that in that argument he voiced the sentiment of the great agricultural state of Nebraska. Mr. Turpie also defended the bill both from moral and legal points of vijw. Afterwards the amendments came up for action. After acting on several amendments the senate at 5 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow.

While the option bill was being discussed the house joint resolution for a final adjournment ou Saturday was laid before the senate aud referred to the appropriation committee. Mr. Jones, of Nevada, from the committee on contingent expenses, reported a resolution for the appointment of a select committee of seven senators to investigate the recent labor troubles at Homestead, and Shoshone county, Idaho, and as to tlie employment of Pinkerton detectives. At the suggestion of Mr. Quay the resolution went over till to-morrow.

Two i eports setting forth the majority and minority views of the house immigration committee, which has been engaged for the last six months, in conjunction with tue senate committee, in investigating the expenditures for the Ellis Island buildings, were presented to the house to-day, Mr. Stump presenting the majority views at length, and arriving at the conclusion that there has been a great waste of public money in the construction of improvements on Ellis Island. The usual methods of the department, the report says were, not resorted to in ascer taining the condition and character of the buildings necessary for fitting out the ini migration station and proper safeguards were not taken to prevent a lavish expen diture of the immigrant fund for that purpose; and the expenditure by treasury officials of 5612,000 upon buildings for which congress appropriated Was without precedent or excuse. The committee has arrived at the further conclusion that As sistant Secretary Xettleton was guilty of great waste and extravagance in lavish ex penditure of the immigrant fund in the improvement on Ellis Island. The report says that Mr.

Kettleton's fail ure to inform himself of the condition of af fairs at Ellis island, his want of knowledge of the estimates and of the testimony of Secretary Windom showing that he impru dently proceeded in accordance with his own judgment unmindful of his predeces sor's views and his use of the head money which had not been previously touched, when there was on file an opinion of Controller Matthews against its use without consulting the legal advisors of the govern ment, demonstrates such a recklessness in the handling of public moneys in the management of depratmental affairs as to create grave apprehension. The fact that an opinion was obtained from the attorney general subsequent to the investi gation, says the report, does not render the use of the money any the less thoughtless or unpardonable. Therefore the committee recommends that the secretary of the treasury investigate the subject. The committee acquits Mr. Owen of any responsibility for the improvements of El lis Island, and without passing upon the merits ot the controversy between Mr.

is et- tleton and Mr. Owen, it says that Mr. Owen acted throughout with great forbearance and under the most provoking circumstances performed the duties of his office faithfully, as tar as he was permitted. The report winds up with a statement that the committee has heard unofficially, but with much gratification, that Assistant Secre tary Nettleton has been relieved of further connection with the management ot immigration matters. The Sugar Trust Piles an Answer.

Philadelphia, July 28. The answers of the American Sugar Refining company and John.E. Searles, to the proceedings brought by the government to annul the sugar trust, were to-day hied in the United States circuit court. In his answer John E. Searles, says: "The American Sugar Refining company was incorporated under and by virtue of the provisions of the act of the legislature of JSew Jersey, entitled 'an act concerning corporations approved 7, mil.

Un der this act the company claims the right to conduct business and acquire property outside the state of New Jersey. It also claims unde Pennsylvania law the right to own the capital stock of the four Philadelphia refineries which it recently purchased and admits that such purchase was made. The answer continues: "This defendant denies that the defendants have violated the provisions of the said act of congress entitled 'an act to prelect trade and commerce against unlawful restraint and monopolies." "On and prior to March 4, 1892, the American sugar refining company had acquired and it owned, controlled and" operated sugur refineries in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Missouri, Lonisiana and California. It was the owner of the capital stock of a sugar refining corporation in Maryland. "It had the control of the sugar refineries in the United States with the exception of the Revere sugar refining company of Boston and said four Philadelphia refineries.

The defendant denies the existence of the unlawful scheme which the bill of com plaint asserts, or that they proposed to limit the production or restrain the trade in sugar. Mollick, the Baker. Philadelphia, July 28. Frank Mol lick, the Long Branch baker accused of be ing an accomplice of Bergniann, spent last night at the city hall. Mollick was brought to the city, late yesterday afternoon by Chief O'Mara, who took charge of his prisoner at his Long Branch home.

Mollick was locked up in a cell, where he remained until noon to-day, when Chief O'Mara took him to Pittsburgh. Mollick's presence was kept very quiet and until this morning none knew that he was in the city except the authorities. Chief O'Mara, in response to a question, said: "I have Mollick locked up in the cell room and shall take him to Pittsburgh to day. He has given me no trouble and has been a quiet and well-behaved prisoner. He agreed to come on without requisition papers.

"Has he made any statement? "No," replied the chief. "He claimed not to be able to speak Eng lish and keeps very mum. have, how ever, plenty of evidency against him and believe that we shall have no trouble in convicting him." "Have you any evidence connecting him with Philadelphia anarchists?" No, there is nothing up to the present time to show that Frick's assailant had any accomplices in Philadelphia." When asked if the police were not work ing any clews that might result in the ar rest of parties residing in this city the chief became reticent and turned the conversation into other channels, showing a great reluctance to discuss that subject. Mollick is a good looking fellow ot about 45. He was very closely watched by the detectives.

A Satisfactory Test. Bethlehem, July 28. The first fir ing on the Bethlehem Iron company's new proving grounds was done this afternoon. The grounds are in a large stone quarry at Kedington, six miles from here. They are equipped with six-inch and eight-inch modern cannon, forged at the Bethlehem iron works, and fabricated at the ashington gun foundry.

There are velocity and armor plate butts, a powder magazine and instrument house. To-day's shooting was to ob tain the velocity of an eight-inch gun. A projectile weighing 250 pounds was fired witn an 81-pound charge of hexagonal pris matic povder. The ball rlew through screens connected by electricity with ins truments, from whose indicators a velocity of 1,702 feet a second was computed. As the standard tor charge and distance is 700 feet, but one round was necessary.

The test was one of the most satisfactory in the history of modern ordnance. The People's Party. Denver, July 28. The Peoples party state convention concluded its work shortly before 7 o'clock this evening and the ticket nominated was taken from the list of names recommended by the joint conference committee of the Silver league and the Peoples party. The Silver league convention did nothing to-day but adopt the report of the conference committee and wait upon the action of the Peoples party meeting.

They will, however, meet to-morrow morning and will without doubt ratify to-day's ticket of ihe people's convention. Fighting West Virginia Democrats. Parkeksburg, W. July 28. The second day of the state democratic convention was one of remarkable enthusiasm, hot weather and fights.

W. A. McCorkle was nominated for governor last night on the second ballot amid tremendous enthusiasm. The first fight to-day was on the nomination for auditor. J.

V. Johnson was finally nominated. Colonel J. M. Rowan was nominated for treasurer; Judge Homer Holt for supreme court and V.

E. Lewis for state superintendent of schools. Bracing News. Minneapolis, July 28. There was a killing frost in Montana last night and the cold wave is coming this way.

At Havre, Old Fort Assinaboine, the mercury went down to thirty. The cold wave is general over British Columbia. At Winne-peg the mercury is forty-two. Colliery Officials Exonerated. Pottsville, July 28.

The coroner's jury was busy all day investigating the York Farm colliery disaster. After hearing a score of witnesses they rendered their verdict this evening, exonerating the colliery officials from all culpability for the accident. Nominated for Governor. St. Paul, July 27.

Knute Nelson was unanimously nominated for governor by the republican state convention. Frank Nye was nominated for lieutenant governor and H. P. Brown for secretary of state. George TL.

Sistare, the New York Banker, Commits Suicide by Shooting Himself New York, July 28. At 10:15 o'clock this morning, George K. Sistare, a mem ber of the firm of Sistare bankers, of rsroau street, committed suicide in his room at the Manhattan club by shooting Himself in the right temple witn a 32-cali bre Smith Wesson revolver. Mr. Sis tare was 50 years old, and lived at No.

251 West Seventy-fifth Street. Deputy Coro ner alsh has charge of the case. According to Mr. Bennett, while they were talking together, Mr. Sistare pulled a pistol from his pocket and pointing the weapon at his head fired.

The shot did not take ellect. He then tired twice more in quick succession. He fell to the floor at the foot of the sofa on which he had been sitting while talking to Mr. Bennett Whether Mr. Sistare said any thine to Mr, Bennett in explanation of his act before the shooting could not be ascertained, but Mr, Bennett was much excited in telling the police what had happened and.

said only that Mr. Sistare had shot himself during tneir conversation. He had ust told Mr. Bennett that he had gone to his brother's last night to borrow some money, threatening to shoot his broth er it he did not lend it. He had a small sum of money in his pocket when the body was examined.

As soon as the shots were heard Judge Holme, who was sitting in a room across the hall, rushed into the recep tion room. He Mr. Bennett walking rapidly up and down in front of the body lying as described. The body was bleeding profusely from a pistol wound behind the right ear. These facts and the police investigation exploded the murder theory wnicu obtained circulation soon after Mr.

Sistare's death. It is now believed that he was insane. Socialism Knocked Out. Pittsburgh, July 28. The socialist question nearly caused a split in the convention at Sailer's hall, called for the pur pose of forming an international labor bureau of information and correspondence, During the discussion of the plans of organization, Delegate McBride asked Delegate nenryot it he was under the impression that this conference was called with a view of ultimately absorbing all the trade unions lutu tue uciaiiLio lauor party.

Henryot that is what I am here for. Immediately the representatives of the American flints, McBride for the miners, the Amalgamated delegates and typographical delegates sprang to their feet and declared their intention of withdrawing at once if such was the case. McBride said the bureau had been killed by the socialist question and Secretary Kilgallen, of the Amalgamated association, suggested that those present who were socialists should withdraw from the meeting. Finally the question was settled by the adoption of a resolution, tbat the proposed bureau of information and correspondence should be administered by the duly elected representatives of labor bodies as provided in the plan of organization adopted by the conference, and that its sole was.to receive and supply international information of a purely and exclusively labor character. Resolutions were then adopted that the delegates representing 200,000 workingmen extend sympathy to the locked out men at Homestead and condemning the Carnegies for refusing arbitration, after which the conference adjourned finally.

Mollick in Jail. Pittsburgh, July 28. F. Mollick, the alleged accomplice of Bergmann, who was arrested at Long Branch, arrived here on the limited express from the east at 9.30 o'clock this evening, in charge of Superintendent of Police O'Mara. He was taken to the central station and locked up for the night.

To-morrow he will be placed in jail on the charge of being an accessory before and after the fact of the shooting of H. C. Frick. Superintendent O'Mara said he had no trouble with Mollick and did not find it necessary to handcuff him. He spent the time en route in smoking cigarettes and drinking beer when he could get it.

He admitted that he was an anarchist and also that he sent 6 to Bergmann. The said, had befriended him when he was in need and he sent the money in response to a letter from Bergmann asking for a loan of $10. He asserted positively that he knew nothing of the intended assassination of Mr. Frick and did not hear of it until after the shooting. A telegram was found on his person from Emma Goldman telling him to come on to New York at once.

There was nothing dangerous. This telegram, he claimed, referred to his wife, who was sick. Superintendent of Police O'Mara said he was not frightened at the threat to have him arrested for taking Molleck out of New Jersey. He said Mollick came willingly and he was not with him when the line between New Jersey and Pennsylvania was crossed. After getting into Pennsylvania he rearrested Mollick, so that there can be no foundation for the charge of kidnapping.

A Terrible Tragedy. July 28. A horrible tragedy was enacted here at a late hour Tuesday night. Mr. M.

McManus, aged 57 years, a respectable citizen, has a son named Charles, an idle, shiftless fellow and hard drinker. The father found work for his son; this angered the youngster and, after some words, he drew a knife and began slashing his father about the face and head. Seeing that his son was determined to murder him the old man drew a knife and the bloody duel continued until the combatants were separated. Young McManus received three stabs in the back that penetrated the cavity, and also another horrible wound ia the abdomen and about a dozen cuts or stabs. His recovery is impossible.

The father was cut a number of times in the face and on the head and body, and would no doubt have been killed if his son's knife had been sharp. The elder McManus was arrested. Big Oil Fire. Washington, July 28. During the heavy storm yesterday afternoon the lightning struck two tanks containing 40,000 barrels of oil each belonging to the Southwest Pennsylvania Pipe Line company, the oil taking fire and endangering a dozen other large tanks.

The flames in one of the tanks have been smothered out, while the other is still burning furiously. It seems probable that the entire contents of the tank will be destroyed. The danger to the other tanks is over. The loss will be about 30,000. When the fire began hundreds of people hastened to the scene and working-men threw an embankment around the tanks to prevent the burning oil, should it escape, from igniting other tanks in the neighborhood.

Adjourned for Two Weeks. Pittsburgh, July 28. The joint scale committee of the amalgamated association and iron manufacturers held another con ference to-day to settle the wage question and adjourned for two weeks. The manufacturers made a proposition that the men resume work at the old scale, leaving the present troublesome question to arbitration subject to the voice of all the members of the association as to whether arbitration would settle it or not. The manufacturers said they were willing to wait two weeks on a reply and it is believed that the long adjournment was taken to allow the Amal gamated committee to present the proposition to the association.

Three Children Smotheredltc Death Medi-osd. July 28. A search for four missing children to-day resulted in finding them in a closet under a sink in a house in process of construction, where they had crawled some time during the day. The door was either pulled to by them or shut in some other way, snapping the catch and making them prisoners. Three of them, all boys, died from suffocation and the other child, a little girl, was slowly sinking.

Had the discovery of their whereabouts been delayed a little longer none of the quartette would have been alive. Chemical Works Explode. Orange, N. July 28. The Crane chemical works at Springfield blew up at about 8 o'clock to-night and several of the buildings which composed the plant were shattered.

A number of houses were blown down and some persons were slightly injured. One man is missing. The shock was tremendous, the vibrations being plainly felt in this city, which is four miles from the scene of the explosion. The wrecked buildings are burning. A Fur Combine.

Newark, N. July 28. The latest combine in the mercantile world was formed here to-day when a pool in fur was consumated at the office of Riker Riker, the well known lawyers. The new combine has a capital of 510,000,000 and will be known as the George C. Treadwell company.

It is expected by the promoters to have considerable control over the Behring Sea arbitration. One Lone P. SL. Washington, July 28. U.

S. Armstrong was to-day appointed fourth-class postmaster at Kirtland, Pa. An Establishment in Pittsbugh Completely Burned Out. THE LOSS MAY REACH $60,000 A Match Sets Fire to a Lot of Straw and the Building Went Up in a Very Brief Time Several Firemen Severely Injured in a Wreck. QUICK WORK PREVENTS TROUBLE Pittsburgh, July 28.

At 11.30 o'clock a fire broke out in the second story of the building occupied by T. G. Evans the queensware dealers on the corner of Third avenue and Market street. The fire was first discovered in the packing depart ment on the second floor. One of the pack ers struck a match, it is supposed, and tnrew it among some straw.

Almost immediately the entire room was ablaze. The men tried hard to fight the flames and confine them to the packing room, but ineir enorts were vain, it rapidly com municated and burst through the front windows, and reaching the oeiling, com municated to the third floor. A. second alarm was sent in, but by 12 o'clock the hremen had the best of the blaze. The firemen did great work to get the best ot tne blaze, as the inflammatory material used for packing caused the fire to spread from the rear of the building in the alley to Market street.

The six people employed in the packing department had to run lor a place ot safety. As natural gas was used in tne building, the gas com pany men were soon on the spot and closed the conneetion. The hose cart of fire company No. 7 met with an accident on the way to the fire, causing a delay of about half an hour. At the corner of Nineteenth street and Penn avenue the cart collided with a heavy Adams express wagon, smashing the front wheels and urucks of the former.

The drivers of both vehicles jumped. The cart horses were hitched to an express wagon. The hose was unreeled and loaded on it, and the firemen proceeded to the fire. As the express wagon was turning from Jt'enn avenue into bixth street the linchpin came out and the wagon upset." The fire men injured are George Manchester, Mat- tnew Mason, the driver, and Captain Evan Davis. Mason was the most seriously hurt having received some internal injuries as well as some severe bruises.

The other two are hurt about the knees. The other two in the wagon, Lewis Ochler and Mike Mc-Stein, escaped unhurt. The lat was found under the. hose. T.

J. Evans Co. have had two bad fires at this place in the past two years, the last one being January a year ago. The back end of the building on Third avenue is opposite Hamilton's tin warehouse, which had also had three fires in less than two years. Mr.

T. G. Evans said "I hardly know what our loss will be. We have $40,000 insurance on our stock and the insurance will not cover our loss. We carry a stock of about $00,000.

It was particularly heavy just now, as we had just received a large importation of goods from Europe, consisting of the finest wares in the busi ness. These were all here and many of them were in the packing room in boxes, and of course are destroyed. Most of our stock is ruined and all of it damaged. "I hardly know how the fire started. The first I knew one of the boys ran down stairs and called fire.

He said he saw smoke coming from the room where we kept our empty cases I do not know how it started. The loss on the building will be close to $10,000. INDIGNANT SOLDIERS. TheMembers of the Ninth Regiment Save Cause to be Angry. The Ninth regiment from Wilkesbarre, Colonel M.

J. ICech in command, passed through Altoona at 1.25 this mornjng. The train was composed of fifteen cars. The men were all bronzed by exposure and expressed themselves as being delighted to be, ordered home. Very little sickness was re-' ported in the Nirth.

Along the side of one car was a muslin sign bearing the inscription "Co. Ninth Regiment, Boycott the Elmira Telegram." This peculiar sign aroused the curiosity of the Tribune man who sought an explanation from some of the soldiers. From them it was gathered that the Wilkesbarre correspondent of the Elmira Telegram, William Leslie by name, had, in the issue of his paper following the departure" of the Ninth for Homestead, cast serious reflections on the good name of the ladies who witnessed the departure of the regiment. As wras the case in other towns the wives, sisters. mothers and sweethearts of the Guardsmen were at the station when they left to see them off.

It was these friends of the sol diers, whom it is alleged that Leslie called all manner ot foul names. The soldiers are worked up'fover the affair and say Leslie will be lucky if he escapes with a hoist in a blanket. Col. Keck was very indignant over the action of the paper in question and said he had two daughters at the station, to bid him "good-bye." He did not relish the names the paper mentioned and openly said he would have a settlement with the Telegram representative as soon as he could find him. It is safe to assume that before the scores of brawny men are done with Mr.

Leslie that will not be so pretty but he will know a heap more. In addition to Company the following commands also signed the bovcott notice Cos. 1, and H. The Reading Still Absorbing. Albany, N.

July 28. A certificate of the consolidation of the Central New England and Western Railroad company with the Poughkeepsie Bridge and Railroad company, forming the Philadelphia, Reading and New England Railroad company, was filed with the secretary of state to-day.

The consolidation is in pursuance to an agreement with the Reading company, which guarantees the payment of the prin cipal and interest of the first mortgage bonds of this consolidated to $11,000,000.

The Rough Road Non-Union Men Have to Travel. TWENTY-ONE HAYE LIVELY TIMES Their Train was Boarded and the Men Called "Scabs" and "Black Sheen." Agent Wilson Has Quite an Exciting Experience to Relate. MORE ARRESTS MADE FOR MURDER July 28.

The Chicago ex press which is due here at 8.55 a. m. had a car containing twenty-one non-union men for Carnegie attached to it at Cincinnati Word was telegraphed to the strikers and at Bellaire, Ohio, a crowd of striker sym pathizers attempted to board the car for the purpose of pursuading the men not to go to Homestead. They were not success ful in getting on the train and Agent Wilson, of Cincinnati, who was in charge, says they contented themselves with call ing the men "scabs" and "black sheep" and telling them they would be murdered when they reached Homestead. Mr.

Wilson says there was no more trouble until Hazlo- wood, near this city, was reached. At that point about twenty-five brawny friends of tue stri Kers swarmed on the car and were snon mingling with the non-union men. One man used insulting epithets to Wilson, who pulled his revolver and compelled him to get on tne car. in the meantime three of the men got out of a window and have not been seen since. The train then proceeded xo a number ot the strikers friends remaining on board, and when Pittsburgh was reached two more nonunion men deserted, leaving sixteen, who were afterwards taken to Homestead on the steamer Tide Mr.

Wilson denies that there was a riot among the men and claims that they knew, perfectly well where they were going, conductor Drake also said there was no trouble and jienied the statement that the doors of the car had been locked. Joseph Mannings, who claims to be from Cincinnati, told the story of the riot at Amalgamated headquarters this afternoon and Attorney Brennan said that if the facts were as stated suits for conspiracy would be entered against the employers. Five more arrests of strikers were made at Homestead for' aggravated riot, and five informations for murder were made to night. The names are not known as the informations will not be hied until to morrow. Homestead, July 28.

This evening a number of the strikers boarded a coal train ou the Pittsburgh, McKeesport and Youghiogheny road passing through the works and hurled lumps of fuel at the nonunion men. To-night orders were issued for the provost guard to search all trains entering the yard to prevent a recurrence of the outbreak. TOOK HIS JEWELRY. Daring Robbery of a New Yorker at As bury Park. New York, July 28.

The residents of Asbury Park. N. are very much exercised over a peculiar diamond robbery that occurred there late last week, the news of whicn has just leaked out through the arrest of the man charged with the theft. The victim was Charles H. Cromwell, one of the governors of the Manhattan Athletic club, of this city, and a member of a law firm in lower Broadway.

It wa9 late last Thursday afternoon when Mr. Cromwell reached the West End hotel in Asbury Park, where his aged mother was a guest. After a short conversation with her he said he would take a stroll along the board walk and would return in lime for dinner. At o'clock he failed to appear, and after waiting an hour for her delinquent son Mrs. Cromwell sat down to dine alone.

As the hours passed the mother began to feel uneasy, and at 11 o'olock She was seriously alarmed. Summoning Proprietor John S. Ripley, Mrs. Cromwell told him of her worry concerning the absence of her son. Mr.

Ripley telephoned for a policeman. and, with Mrs. Cromwell, a tour was made along the boardwalk. The search was fruitless. All night the woman sat watch ing the street, and at 6 o'clock she went to the hotel office, but no tidings had been received of the missing man.

The forenoon passed, and about 2.30 o'clock she was agreeably startled at seeing her son enter the office. Springing to her feet and clasping his hand, she inquired: "Why, Charles, where in the world have you been? You look terribly bad." Mr. Cromwell led hi9 mother into the parlor and told her that soon after reaching the boardwalk he was accosted by a young man who appeared to know him. The young man got him interested and he was learning much about the town. That was all he could recollect.

When he awoke the next afternoon he was in a strange hotel and all his diamonds, jewelry and money were gone, lie had been drugged and robbed. On account of his connections nothing was said of the robbery at Asbury Park, but word was at once sent to a detective agency in this city. The detective obtained a good clew to the man's identity, and also learned from letters found in his room that he had friends in Albany. Thither the detectives went, and late yesterday afternoon, it is said, caught him. All of the jewelry, Mrs.

Cromwell says, was re covered, with the exception ot a $o00 ring, which had been pawned and the ticket for which was found on the thief, whose name is said to be Charles T. Gaden, of this city. It appears that soon after Cromwell left the hotel he was accosted by Gaden, who for a week or so had been a guest at the Pierrepont hotel, in Asbury park. Gaden seemed to be well acquainted with Crom well and invited him over to a Kingsly "strett drug store, where they had a "soda." Thence the pair sauntered over to 'the Pierrepont hotel, and after entering there Mr. Cromwell cannot recollect anything.

This leads to tue supposition that the "soda" was "fixed." The amount of the theft, Mrs. Cromwell said, was about 000. Six Were Drowned. Wharton, July 24. Nine per sons, lour ladies, one little girl, three white men and one Indian, left Cape Croker yesterday in a sail boat for tins place.

When within ten minutes sail ot her a squall struck the boat. The sails were all down at the time. The boat was lifted like an egg, and the ballast shifting, she went over instantly. John Dance heard the screams and went out with his row boat. When he arrived at the scene only two white men and the Indian were left and they were hanging onto a wire on the boat.

One of them was foaming at the mouth. The drowned are George Stevens and wife, of Clesley; Stevens's two sisters, of Guelph, and Mrs. L. Currie and daughter, ot Wharton. Up to the present none of the bodies have been recovered.

The storm was the severest ever known here. O'Donnell Goes Away. Homestead, July 28. Hugh O'Donnell has left Homestead quietly, aud is probably on his way east again. Mrs.

O'Donnell was quite nervous this morning and said, when questioned on the subject, that her husband was away on private business. It is not understood here that the labor leader has any particular mission east unless it be to further his political schemes. A fact brought to the notice of the advisory committee by many earnest fighters is the increasing number of absent workmen. At the beginning of the fight a resolution was adopted that any man who left Homestead without leave would not be allowed to work in the mill after the tight was over. During the last week hundreds have gone away and as a result the watchfulness has been most decidedly impaired.

The Trouble at the Edgar Thompson Works Has Been Settled. FR1CK CONTINUES TO IMPROVE Pittsburgh, July 28. The Carne gie Steel company (limited) have prepared a scale for the union mills in this city and the Beaver Falls plant, which the new men or those of the former employes who return to work will be required to sign. The scale will extend until January, 1S91, and the wages will be the same as paid the Ainal gamated workmen, but no association will be The finishers, it is said, will proiit especially by the new agreement. The fires have been started in the Union mills and work will probably be resumed in a few days.

The strikers are quiet and no trouble is anticipated. There have been no attempts made as yet te resume at Du- quesne or Beaver Falls, and none will be made until the Homestead and Union plants are in full operation. The trouble with the transportation men at the Edgar Thomson works, Braddock, was settled by Manager Schwab and the men have returned to work. At the Homestead plant the force is being steadily increased; nearly 100 new men were sent up on the Tide to-day. An Asso ciated Press representative went through the works this morning and, found fully 700 men at work.

The men are very intelligent and not a few are college graduates, who, attracted by the reports of high wages in the steel works, prefer learning a trade to settling down in thefdoubtful expectancy of a profession for a livelihood. There are besides a number of experienced mechanical engineers, who exhibited their certificates and really seem to handle'the ponderous machinery very easily. Three heavy plates were rolled before the Associated Press representative's eyes and seemingly with as little friction as in any rolling mill. Work is being especially directed toward the naval contracts, and Mr. Potter savs there will be little or no delay in furnishing the material.

"We have all the laborers and yardmen we need now," he said, "and we are discriminating in our selections. It is astonishing how rapidly some young men are learning here to do the work which our former employes confidently boasted could not possibly be done by even skilled workmen, because they had no knowledge of our machinery. We shall have one of the best classes of mill operatives in the country soon at the rate we are progressing. No further informations were made today against the Homestead men and there were no more arrests. The eight strikers arrested yesterday for aggravated riot were all released on bail each.

The remainder of the thirty-six are still at large. Mr. H. C. Frick's Jconditi on continues favorable.

He passed a comfortable day. He has a good appetite and his temperature, respiration and pulse are in their normal state. All indications point to a safe and speedy recovery. William J. Brennan, counsel for the strikers, stated this evening that the proposed suits against' Messrs.

Frick, Potter and Lovejoy for conspiracy had not been abandoned, but nothing would be done until Mr. Frick had recovered. The police do not expect to make any more arrests of anarchists at present. Inspector Mc.Kelvy said he did not think Herr Most would be arrested now as they had no use for him. He believed Emma Goldman's story that Most is an anarchist for revenue only, "tie has a number ot these people who fear him" said the inspector, "and it will be almost impossible to connect him with the case.

However, we will see to it that he does not get away. This matter has been taken up by the police authorities all over the United States and the anarchists are being watched at every turn. I do not think that they can be watched too much. This anarchist 'question has aroused the whole country, and the poliee of eaCh city have decided to find out just how strong they are. Ko one here had any idea of the number of people of this kind we have had in the two cities.

We have furnished some valuable pointers to the police of other cities and they have helped us, and there is not a prominent anarchist in the country that could not be arrested on an hour's notice." Secretary Lovejoy said this evening that the Carnegie officials would take no part in the prosecution of the anarchists now under arrest here, except in the case of Berg-mann and he would be pushed to the limit. It was reported to-night that Jones Laughlin's American iron works had decided to take issue with the Amalgamated association and that they would start their immense plant with non-union men. These works are among the largest in the country and employ 3,500 men. Hon. B.

F. Jones, the principal owner, is the ex-chairman of the national republican committee. If it is true that the firm contemplates this action, a struggle almost as great as that now in progress at Homestead will follow, as the Amalgamated association will not give up without a hard struggle. The plant is the second largest in the United States and covers nearly sixty acres of property. ON COUNTER CHARGES.

General Superintendent Potter May Arrested. be Homestead, July 28. It is probable to-night that as the result of arrests today a counter charge will at least be made by one of the locked out men for conspiracy, against General Superintendent John Potter, of the steel works here. Hearing that informations were out for aggravated riot, Burgess John McLuckie, Hugh Boss and Elmer -E. Bail went to Pittsburgh this afternoon and surrendered themselves to Alderman McMasters, where they waived a hearing, and bail was furnished each in $2,000 by Mike Maloney, a saloon keeper.

He also went bail for Wm. Blakeley, who was arrested by a constable. On their return to Homestead, Bail stated that the suit against him was purely spite work and that he would sue Mr. Potter. He alleged that he was discharged from Homestead a year ago and was unable to secure work elsewhere, as Superintendent Potter had blacklisted him.

"I returned to Homestead," said he. "and in the evening of the day when the riot occurred entered the yard. That was the only connection I had with the disturbance, and I am convinced that persecution alone animated my arrest. I shall retaliate." According to the locked out men the Carnegie Steel company, limited, has adopted a novel method of securing evidence against them for use in the riot trials. This morning three women came to Homestead with drummers' cases and gave out that they were book agents.

They visited a number of houses, and conversed with the women and children. It is claimed that after a few preliminaries, they would turn the conversation toward the riots and try to draw the women out as to their knowledge of the affair, and particularly the part their husbands took in it. The men are convinced that the book agents are really female detectives in the employ of the firm, whose sole object in coming here is to collect evidence. The great division encampment which nearly 6,000 soldiers established here sixteen days ago is a thing of the past tonight. Instead about 1,000 soldiers, a battery and a small squadron of cavalry are the only reminders.

This provisional brigade is all the more vigilant, it cannottrust to overawe by mere force of numbers. Twenty-two families of striking laborers who lived in company houses on Shanty hill moved out this evening, it being the expiration of the time for the men to go to work for the company or leave the residences. The families made quite a striding procession as they marched through the town to the quarters furnished by the Amalgamated association. They walked with their wives and children on the sidewalks, while a number of vans with household goods accompanied the evicted in the streets. Its Last Public Meeting.

WILLIAM F. 3ST -IN- Grover Writes Another Letter. New York, July 28. Ex-President Grover Cleveland has written to Otto Keuipner, chairman of the Independent German-American citizens' meeting as follows: "I thank you for the copy of the resolutions passed at a meeting of Independent German-American citizens, held in the city of New York on the 13th Inst. I also desire to.

express my appreciatian of the kind wish contained in your letter transmitting these resolutions.

Please assure your associates in this action of my gratitude and appreciation, and convey to them my determination to deserve the good opinion which they now entertain of me." They Start. Pittsburgh. July 28.

Shortly after the strike was inaugurated at Homestead the employes of the Baker chain works, of Wood's Run, joined the Amal gamated association. When the repairs were made and the shop was ready to re sume operations, the management refused to recognize the association. An attempt was made to start the works yesterday. Forty men are employed in the works aud about fifteen boys. These boys were all the persons secured yesterday and they were accompanied to the train by Manager Davis.

When the boys left their work last evening they were accompanied to the train by Manager and a crowd followed throwing out all kinds of epithets as they passed along the street. Several police were sent for. This morning when the boys reported for work they were induced to leave the shops Everything Is quiet and orderly. lams Will Sue, Maybe. Pittsburgh, July 28.
