AT THE HOMESTEAD MILLS.

What an Associated Free* Reporter Saw.
ISO Bauds.
Pittsbcrq, July 20.—An Associated
Press representative made a tour of
Homestead mills, being the only news¬
paper man who has succeeded in gain¬
ing admission behind the now famous
fence which surrounds the company’s
property. He found about 150 men at
work, most of them new employes.
Four furnaces in the armor plate de¬
partment were charged, and complete
resumption in this department will take
place at once. The melting department
has been fired up; but it will take seven
days to get this branch of the mill rufc-
nmg again. ’TYP
The assistant superintendent of the
plant said that a number of men had
applied for employment, and that he
expected quite a number of such appli¬
cations.
This official stated that the company
had, up to thiB time, been unable to Be-
cure enough mechanics to complete the
necessary repairs, and the works were
started without them. He is confident
that were the mill to resume operations
successfully for employes a day would or two, many of
the former return to
their old positions.
A large number of colored men have
arrived in Pittsburg and visited H. C.
Frick in squads. They earned satch¬
els, and were evidently strangers in the
city. Their ultimate destination is sur¬
mised to be Homestead.
Hugh O’Donnell has disappeared. He
was reported several days ago to have
gone east on a mysterious mission in
the interest of the strikers, bnt he bos
not put and in an appearance anywhere
since, now many minors are afloat,
all based on the supposition that he had
private information of the intended pro¬
ceedings against him, and departed in
season. His wife asserts that he will
return within a day or two, and bis
friends among idea the of strikers his having indignantly
repudiate the taken
flight.
Officials of the steel company reaffirm
their intention to bring abont other ar¬
rests. Rumor puts the number at over
two hundred.
Burgess McLuckie’s bail has been
fixed at $10,000. The bail was furnished
and McLuckie was released.

bilt in the latter’s carriage. Just as the

cowcatcher.
In Hlz Own Jail.
Mansfield, O., July 20. —The invest¬
igation of the accounts of John G. Her-
cog, the defaulting Ashland county
sheriff, who is confined in his own jail,

tive boiler explosion occurred iu this

The Wheelmen In Waehtngtan.
Washington, July 80.—The parade
of the League of American Wheelmen
was a grand success, buj; the president
vras a trifle late in appearing upon tho
portico of the wnitu house to review it,
so that those who had the head of the
line rode by the white house without
having a glimpse of hie presidential
presence. The president, however, took
his stand before more than three or four
hundred wheelmen had gone by. He
reviewed the remainder of the wheel¬
men, and with uncovered head acknowl¬
edged the salntatious, which the wheel¬
thousand men gracefully gave him. About two
men were in line, and they
made a fine appearance.
Insanity, Alls. Mitchell's Flea.
Memphis, Teun., July 20. —The ufecond
day of the inquiry into the mental con¬
dition of Alioe Mitchell showed uadi-
minished public interest, audience being
somewhat larger than the first day.
Promptly at 8:30 o’clock the defendant
entered the court room, accompanied by
her two brothers. The jury was prompt¬
ly on hand at 8:30 o'clock, but the judge
did not arrive until noarly 9 o’clock,
when court was at once convened. Most
of the tesf.raony introduced tended to
confirm the impression of hereditary
insanity having been transmitted from
mother to child.

jury gave verdict iu tho case of the
Frankie Folsom disaster. Captain Loeso

to the enactment of laws similar to
those governing government waters.

Atlanta, July 20.— The People’s par¬
ty convention was called to order by C.
C. Post, chairman of the provisional
committee, at a few minutes after 10
o'clock.
Mr. Poet introduced the proceedings
by stating that this was a meeting un¬
der peculiar circumstances. They bad
met to nominate men to antagonize tor
office that party with which it had been
their custom to affiliate for years.
They would also select presidential
electors, who, if elected, would cast tbe
vote of Georgia for a man who did not
belong in the rauks of the party which
Georgia’s electors bad supported for
years.
Mr. Post said this convention would
force all right thinking men to recog¬
nize the fact that grave wrongs had
been done to the people, and existed in
our economic system. He said the
world would compare the clean cut plat-
brin upon which tbe People’s party
stood, and which was adopted at Omaha,
with the well-nigh meaningless plat¬
forms adopted at Chicago and Minne¬
apolis.
He concluded his remarks by an¬
nouncing that tbe committee on tempo¬
rary organization had presented the
name of M. L Branch, of Columbia
eoauty, for temporary chairman, and
the names of Oscar Parker, of Faiton,
and W. A. Eckard, of Clinch, for tem¬
porary secretaries.
Mr. Branch, upon assuming thr gave!,
reviewed the rise and progress of the
party for tho past four years, from a
bare possibility then, to tho sound, solid
reality of the present.
His closing remarks were in the na¬
ture of a prophetic vision, in which
