ARRESTS AT HOMESTEAD.
Members of the Afiyisory Board of tie
StmCrS JUllCfi,
They are Charged with Treason. The
Affair causes a Sensation.
A great sensation was created at
Homestead, Pa., Friday night by the
arrest Of a nUmber of members of the
advisory committee, of the Ilonx stead
strikers, for treason. Those arrested
were Chairman Thomas j. Crawford,
William Baird; George Hyland, John
Dierken and T. W. Brown. The ar-
r<»t came like a thunderbolt to the strik¬
ers, tb<y were so sndd-nly made and so
unexpected. ting The prisoners were chat¬
at the strret corner-, when they
were taken. The officers were Detec
lives Mills and Fowl and deputies
It Young, Brady, Delvin, Krept and Ward.
was late in the afternoon when the
warrants based on information of Chief
Justice Paxson, reached Homestead and
were placed in started the bands of officers to
serve. They out at 9 o’clock,
and first caught Crawford and Dierken,
who wire hurried to the provost guards
tents. The others were caught in quick
succession, before the strikers had time
to realize what was happenit g.
prison As the prisoners were speeded to the
tents, an alarm was taken and
many strikers haste tied toward tho guard,
but were held back and dehied all infor¬
mation. Indeed, some of the prisoners
did not know why they were urns’ed un¬
til safe b< hind the bayonets of the sol-
diirs. It was intended first to keep the
prisoners all night aud hunt for others,
but through fear of au attempt at rescue
they were taken to the city farm station,
placed on a train and hurried to Pitts¬
burg at 11 o’clock and landed in jail.
The information for treason upon which
the men v ere arre-ted were made by
County Detective Beltzh ovir Friday af-
thernoon before Chief Justice Paxson, of
ihe supreme court of Pennsylvania. The
petition charges Hugh O’Donnell, Thom¬
as J. Crawford, John McLuckie and thir¬
ty others, all members of the strikers’ ad-
vis >ry committee, with treason. It
states that the defendants, who are in¬
habitants and residents of the common¬
wealth of Pennsylvania, did arrange, pre¬
pare and levy w. r against the con mnn-
wealth of Pennsylvania, to the end that
the constitution, law and authority were
d-fiid, resisted and subverted, and that
said defendants on July 1st, with hun¬
dreds of others, armed and arrayed in a
warlike manner, that is to say, with guns
revolvers, cannons, swords, knives aud
clubs, did unlawfully, maliciously and
traitorously assemble together in the bor¬
ough of Hoimst* ad in the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and then and there with
force and aims did falsely and traitor¬
ously and in a hostile and warlike man¬
ner array themselves in insurrection and
rebellion to the commonwealth of Penn¬
sylvania contrary to the duty of allegi¬
ance and fidelity of said defendants.
Chief Justice Paxson at once pushed
the warrants for the arrest of the accused
and officers were dispatched by the sher¬
iff to Homestead to serve them. The ac¬
tion of the county authorities was entire¬
ly unexpected and carried consternation
into the camp of the strikers. This is
the first time in the his'ory of the state
that any resident has been charged with
treason against the commonwealth, and
the entrance of the cases will be watched
with interest. The penalty, which was
formerly death, is twelve years’ impris¬
onment in the penitentiary.
THE CASHIER WAS SHOT
Because He Refused to Throw Up His
Hands as Ordered.
Great excitement was caused in Erie,
Penn., Monday by a daring attempt to
rob the Kevstone national bank. It was
about 12:30 o’clock in the afternoon
nnd no customers were in the bank.
Assistant Cashier Kepler and Clerk
Charles Li-bel were busy balancin r th ir
b >oks and counting money and checks,
when suddenly a quarte te of t ugh look¬
ing strangers burst int > the room, revolv¬
ers in hand. The strangers took posi¬
tions a’ each of the windows around the
desks within, and pointing their revol¬
vers at the heads of the two clerks told
them to throw up their hands.
Instead of doing as directed, the cash¬
ier snatched up a paper weight and was
about dealing the fallow nearest him a
blow on the head, when two shots were
fired by the intrud ers. One of the bul-
lets struck Kepler in the left cheek, in
flicting a serious but not dangerous
wound. The young man fell fainting to
the floor and the robbers becoming
frightened, ran from the bank and-fled
up Eight street.
The shooting attracted a crowd nnd a
number of citizens gave chase. The
robbers finding the pursuit too h<'t, turn¬
ed on their pursuers and opened fire, but
fortunatelv no one was injured. Finally
Special Offi er William Dierel overtook
the desperadoes and with a drawn re¬
volver, commanded item to surrender.
The answer was a shot from a huge ar¬
my revolver, As Officer Dierel
was in the act of returning
the fire, the four men thought better of
it and gave th mselve^ up. They were
handcuff d together and marched to the
police station and locked up in seperate
cells. On being search d, Dine revolvers
of different calibers, nnd a collection of
knives and bra=s knnck ! es were found on
them. The prisoners cave their names
as John Courtney a' d C. H. Hawley of
New York city: Dan P. Evans and
Charles W. Smith, ol Syracuse.

which have already signified a willing¬
ness to be represented at the internation¬
al moncary confeience, that it had been
arranged to have, the conference meet in
Brussels November 22d, the Belgian

DIRECT TAX FRAUDS.
Citizens of Louisiana Robbed of Hun¬
dreds of Thousands of Hollars.
A special dispatch of Thursday from
New Orleans sta’es that ft aud in the
matter of the direct tax refunded to the
State of Louisiana, by the general gov¬
ernment is proved by reasearches by state
officials here. Governor Foster has in
his possession rolls conta ; ning a list of the
direct tax refunded to citizens
of the state by the federal
government and a comparison of these
rolls with receipts given at the time
of payment by the collectors show glaring
discrepancies. Iu nearly every instance
there is a difference of two, three or four
dollars between the face of the tax re-
ce.pts held by citizens and the sum en¬
tered. on the rolls. It is believed from a
cutsory examination made that the people
of the state were robbed of hundreds of
thou-ands of dollars by this meansduring
reconstruction days.
