Tho Arrests Have Boon Begun at
Homestead.
Homestead, Pa., Ang. 4.—Tho ar
rests of Tardmoster Dovey and Super
intendent of the open hearth depart
ment No. 2, McConnell, on the oharge
of murder, were attended by turbulent
scenes, necessitating the interference of
the militia and Hie additional arrest of
a striker.
It was 2 o’clock when the constables
reached Homestead with the warrants.
Dovey and McConnell were found at the
mill and were taken to their residences,
where they donned street suits. In the
meantime, rumors of prospective ar
rests spread through the town and hun
dreds of the locked out and striking
mill men gathered at the different sta
tions.
At Munhall the crowd numbered
about 200. Tho train is dne there at
4:05 o'clock and abou. a minute before
it was to come the constables and their
prisoner appeared. This was the signal
for a great shont of exultation and the
crowd
Barged Aroand the Station Door
as the prisoners were hurried into it. A
patrol of militia strove to keep back th*-
men aud were aided by a few deputy
sheriffs. The train was twenty minute*
late, however, and every minute the
crowd increased, while muttered threats,
especially against Dovey, were plainly
to be heard.
As tho i>me passed, the crowd became
more turbulent, and word was hastily
sent to Provost Marshal Lieutenant
Meohling. He dispatched at ones Major
Crawford with a company of the Fif
teenth regiment to the station. These
arrived jast as the patrol was fixing
bayonets to repel the people. The sol
diers msrohed company front, poshing
back the crowd, wbiob retired in a sur
ly way. Ouo striker named Thomas
Bowen then became obetreperoua and
yelled:
"Three Cheers for Dovey* D—n Him.”
Before the crowd coaid give them.
Major Crawford signaled to two soldiers,
who hastily seized Bowen. He had a
penknife in. his hand at the time. He
was hustled into the station and placed
in charge of two deputies. This quelled
the hostile demonstration.
On the arrival of the train, Dovey and
McConnell, with Bowen also, were par
on it, and in addition to the constables
and deputy sheriffs, a detail of soldiers
went abroad to protect the mill boss. At
City Farm and Homestead station com
panies of militia were drawn np in line
as the train passed and kept back the
crowd. At the sight of the prisoners,
however, the crowd cheered InStily.
Bowen, the striker who was arrested,
will be charged with unlawful assem
blage, disorderly conduct and probably
with inciting a riot.
H. C. Frick Gi»ts Hood.
Vice President Leisbman aud Treas
urer Carry, of the Carnegie company,
appeared before Judge Ewing, in the
criminal conrt at Pittsburg, and said
they desired to surrender themselves on
the charge of murder preferred by Hugh
Ross. Judge Ewing refused to hear an
application for bail until the accused
surrendered to Alderman King. The
magistrate was sent for, and after he
had presented his docket a heariug was
held. Leisbman, Carry and Lovejoy
waived the hearing, as did H. C. Frictf.
N. McConnell, James S. Dovey und
Superintendent Potter, who were absent,
but represented by W. F. Pattisou. their
attorney. Frick. Lovejoy, Leishinan
and Carry were then released on glO.OOu
bail eaoh and R. B. and A. W. Mellon
went on their bond.
They Were Disappointed.
News that all the Carnegie officials
were admitted to bail at once is a great
disappointment to the people here, who
hoped that they would be kept in jail
for a night at least. The arrests appar
ently did not in the slightest interfere
with the operation of the mill, while
the turbulent demonstration o£ the af
ternoon has convinced General Willie
that it wonld be nnwise to remove the
militia from Homestead for the present.
Tho Coroner’s Jury Find loss.
Pittsburg, Aug. 41—The coroner has
concluded his inqnest on tho seven
strikers and throe Pinkerton guards
killed during the Homestead riots, and
after being out an hour, the jury re
turned with a verdict. In his charge
Coroner McDowell called attention to
tho great importance of the case, a com
mittee of the national congress having
already made an investigation;- the
courts have been appealed to and there
having been bearings in a number of
cases. If the jury believed the case war
ranted it, he said it should recommend
that the proceedings be certified to the
term of the grand jury for aotion. Re
turns in the cases of the seven strikers
were alike. That of Silas Wain is as
follows:
"Silas Wain, aged about 34 yean, came
to biB death on Tuesday, July 6, about
8:80 o’clock a. m., while In company with
others in an unlawful assembly upon the
property of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.’a

side of the Monongabels river and dis
‘ arged by them, striking and instantly
ling said Silas Wain; and we recom
mend that said unlawful assembly be car
ried to the September session of the grand
Jury.”
In the case of the three Pinkerton
men, the returns were al$o alike. The
one on the death of Conntft reads:
“L. J. Conner, aged 80 years, came to
his death at West Pennsylvania hospital
from shock and exhaustion due to a gun
shot wound in the right arm, which sev
ered the femoral artero. The wound was
received while in • a- model barge which

No attempt was made by the jury_ m
ly of the ten cases to designate tne
persons by whom the fatal 8 were
fired, further than to declare ^at this
was an unlawful' assemblage on Carne
gie's property which led to the battle.

And tho Censure ho Will Receive for
His Utterances.
Washington, August 4.—The report
of the Watson committee on drunken
congressmen is nearly complete. If
will be made witl.in a day or two. Mr.
Boatner, the chairman of the committee,
is drafting it.
Watson w ill not bs expelled. The re
port will simply say that his charges
were wilfully, marciouBly and know
ingly false. It will declare that his
charges against Judg* Cobb were to
tally wit boat foundation and Watson
will be censured with as much vigor at
is capable of being expressed in chaste
English.
The report will say that bis charges de
serve that be betxpeJled,bnthe appears
so anxious to be expelud in order to pose
as a martyr that the committee was of
the opinion that a public expression on
the pm of tbe house upon bis sets
would be the best way to deal with sueb
characters wbo happen to be elected to
congress.
S-me of the members of the commit
tee imludmg tbe Republican, Mr
Grout, are said to have favored expul
sion, but in view of all tbe oiroum-
stacces, tbe committee thougbt beat
simply to let tbe matter go with a state
ment that the charges wire absolutely
false acd a censure of the accuser.
Tbe report will be really more inju
rious and degrading to the man than
xpulsion, for expulsion might create
sympathy as being rather severe, while
every one will agree that censure was
deserved.
With tbe possible exception of Jerry
SimpEon, Watson has the respect of no
man in tbe house, and a representative
despised by his o lleagues can be of no
uie to anybody or any district.
THE COMMITTEE
That Was to Report on the Homestead
Case.
Washington. Aug. 8.—The sub-com
mittee of the house judiciary committee
are hopelessly divided on the subject
of the Pinkerton investigation, and
have decided to leave the matter to the
foil committee to say whether there
shall be a report or not, and if one, the
nature of it. Mr. Oates, the chairman
of the oommittoe of fire, was appointed
to draw np a report on the investiga
tion, and accordingly drew np a most
elaborate document covering the fall
scope of the investigation. He sub
mitted it to the committee, and, after
talking it over for three hours, they
xeached tbe conclusion, by a vote
of 2 to 8, that they could not agree
to it, one Republican voting with Mr.
Oates and tbe other two Democrats and
one Republican deciding that a report
sbonld be made. While all the mem
bers of the committee admitted that the
report was thorough and impartial, still
tbe majority thought that there wore
some points in it which did not quite
meet their views. As Mr. Oates ex-
wessed it, they thought "it might kick
x»th ways.” Accordingly, the whole
matter is referred back to the full com
rnittee.
There were very few senators present
when the session opened, nor did there
appear to be any pressure of business
before the body. A resolution offered
by Mr. Pettigrew, calling on the secre
tary of war for a report as to all army
officers who have been tried by conrt-
martiul during the past ten years, their
rank, offense, verdict rendered and pun
ishment imposed, was the subject of
considerable discussion.
Objection was made, and considera
ble debate was had, and finally, on mo
tion of Mr. Manderson, the resolution
was referred to the committee on mili
tary affairs.
In the house, filibustering over the
World’s Fair appropriation was resumed
and no quorum voting On a motion to
take recess, the house adjourned and a
Democratic caucus was announced for
2 o’clock.

The author and introducer of this bill
iaW. L. Peek, now theThird party can
didate L-r Governor of Georgia.
It will be seen that in this bill the
word of landlord becomes superior to
that ot the tenant.
In an indictment of the tenant for a
breach of contract, the landlord can
testify and the tenant being a defen
dant, cannot.
To make the o'lndnct of Mr. Peek
even stronger against tbe tenant, it is
on record that he voted againBt an
amendment which sought to limit this
pr posed bill to written contracts only.
And yet Mr. Peek is today posing m
the State of Georgia as the great friend
of tenants.

New York, Ang. 3.—The steamship
San Jose'of tbe Pacific Mail Steamship
Line, Captain Russell, arrived here.
She left San Francisco ou July 15 for
Panama by way of Aoapalco. The pas
sengers were not allowed to land at
Acapulco on July 22, and there was con
Bidernble excitement on the steamship
when it was learned that the restriction
was made owing to a reported theft of
money and jewelry. Oue of the passen
gers, it appears, intrusted several bags
containing money and gem3, amounting
in value to $13,500, to the purser, who
has been thirty-two years in service of
the company and whoso integrity is re
garded as above suspicion. The money
and valuables were stolen on the voyage,
but by whom is a mystery.

Harvesting Potutors.
The harvesting of the potato
should not be undertaken until grt
has entirely ceased. The general date
at which early or late varieties are ready
for digging is pretty well known, but it «
is of course regulated more or less by Eg
the meteorological conditions of the sea
son. The raising of the tubers should
always be delayed to tho latest limit, if
tho maximum weight is desired, but fre
quently growors dig their crops too soon
and consequently lose a benefit which is
sometimes important. When all the ?
lateral foliage of the plant is faded, and
there remains at the top of the ainllr a
bunch of leaves, it may l>b concluded for
a certainty that the plant iastill working
and making a quantity of organic mat
ter especially destined for the tubers,
which efren in a fortnight sensibly in
creases the weight and richness, but as
soon as this bunch is faded there is no
gain, and the digging of the crop should
begin.
Ivy Poisoning.
So many persons are poisoned every
year by ivy that it is well to learn how
to distinguish the plant at a glance and
avoid it Orchard and Garden tells how
to distinguish it from the woodbine or
Virginia creeper, which is harmless, but
often ^confounded with the poison ivy.
The woodbirie has five leaves, the poison
iyy only three. The latter also has
leaves of a lighter, more vivid green
and more glossy. It climbs on fences
and stone walls, which it covers thickly,
but often branches out more like a tree
than a vine. Many sufferers from ivy
poisoning have been cured by bathing
the poisoned parts in a strong lye made
from wood* ashes, while a few doses of
olive oil, taken immediately, will often
give relief.
