Bodies of Two Sailors Devoured by Their
Starving Companions.
BALTIMORE, October 25th.-The survivors
of the steamship Earnmoor add to the
horror of that shipwreck story that two
of the dead seamen were eaten by the sur
vivors, who were in open boats for three
weeks. They were William Robinson and
Engineer Thomas Hunt. 1t was decided
by lot that Ludwig Loder a seaman, should
also be killed and eaten, but he fought his
assailants off. Loder's story about the first
body eaten is: On the seventeenth day
William Robinson lay down to sleep. They
found him dead, aud it was determined to
eat his flesh, and William Wright, the
cook, was ordered to carve the body. The
cook stripped the flesh from the ribs. The
next day this flesh, in strips, was placed on
the top of the water-tight compartments
and dried in the sum- After taking out the
parts of Robinson's body which would fur
nish blood to be drank, they threw the
mutilated body into the sea. Hunt died
also, and was cut up two days later.

Davitt, continuing, said that Houston,
Secretary of the Loyal and Patriotic
League, and his accomplices, knew that the
letters alleged to have been written by Par
nell, which were printed in the London
Times, were forgeries, before Piggott took
the witness stand, and that it had come to
his (Davitt's) knowledge that Piggott con-
fessed the fact prior to his testifying for the
Times.
On being interrupted by Chief Justice
Hannen. who said the Commission would
not accept the statement without evidence,
Davitt replied that the allegation would be
again made and proven later on.
Davitt proceededto point out that Parnell

The Story About Accepting the Charles
ton Without Penalties Denied.
WASHINGTON, October 25th-The state
ment sent out from here yesterday that the
action of Secretary Tracy, in making de-
tail of officers tor the United States steam
ship Charleston, signifed his intention of
accepting the vessel at once and of remit
ting the penalty is laughed at by navy Off
cials and pronounced unwarranted. De-
failing officers in advance of the acceptance
of vessel is often done, as, for instance, in
the case of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius
Her officers were detailed last spring, but
the vessel has not yet been accepted. The
true situation as to the Charleston was
stated in these dispatches about two weeks
SINCE when Secretary Tracy stated that he
would take no action on accepting the
Charleston until he received report on
the official trial that was satisfactory, at the
same time Secretary Tracy instructed Com
modore Benham to reconvene the Trial
Board and make new report.

Brown, who jumped his bail and fed to
Canada about year ago, to escape trial on
a charge of making and selling obscene
photographs, died last week in exile, and
was buried on Saturday in East Chatham,
Ny. He was the son of Harvey Brown,

on the Highis, where he had an amateur
Photographic studio. He was arrested
September 20, 1888, on warrant issued on

Number of People Positive That They Saw
Him last Night Mt the DnQuesne, but He
Could Not bo Found.
1t was reported around the Hotel Du-
quesne last evening that General Master
Workman 7. v. Powderly, of the Knights
of Labor, was in the city and was stopping
at the hotel. He was trying to keep shady
for some unknown reason, and refused to
register his name. He was seen about 8
o'clock going into the hotel by . printer, who
has attended knights OF Labor general con-
ventions, and had several times con-
versed with the General Master Workman.
About an hour previous to this an attache
of the hotel said he also saw Mr.. Powdef1y.
About $50 he was also presumably seen in the
hotel Office by a reporter, who, for reasons pest
known to the profession, did not deem it ad-
visable to speak to him in the presence of 9TH
ers. The reporter heard the clerk order the
porter to ''show Mr.. Powderly to his room"
and the guest who went up with the porter was
the very image of Mr.. Powderly.
About 20 minutes after this occurrence a re-
porter called at the hotel and asked to see Mr..
Powderly. The clerk was positive that there
was no such person in the house. and said Mr.
Powderly had not been around the hotel all
evening. The clerk knew Mr.. Powderly, he
said, on account of the many times he stopped
at the house, but he was not there then. In
quiry at other hotels failed to find him.
If the General Master Workman is in the
city, there is not the least doubt but that he
came here upon the matter of theimported for.
eign glassblowers, and the charges made
against L. A. 800, of the Knights of Labor. He
must have taken extra precautions or he would
not have been able to escape the hotel reporters.
He generally stops at the Central, and his idea
in going to the Duquesne was probably to ward
off the interviewers, who would not expect to
meet labor leader in high-toned hotel.

A MATERIAL REDUCTION.

Significant Letter.

The Green Glass Blowers Asked to Accept
Less Wages for the Next Blast-A Very
Significant Letter.
Thomas Wightman, of this city, who is
President of the Green Glass and Bottle
Blowers Conference, of D. A. 143, K. of L.,
has written very significant letter to Master
Workman Louis Arlington. In it he SAYS
that the worSmen must prepare to accept q
material reduction in wages for the next blast
which will begin on September l.
Mr.. Wightman is one of the leading green
glass manufacturers of Western Pennsylvania,
and was chosen President of the conference.
This body is composed of workers and manu-
facturers, and their duties are to arrange any
troubles that may occur during a blast.
The workers are all members of the Knights
of Labor divided into two district assemblies,
D. A l4S, composed of workers of the West.
and d. A. 149, composed of workers of the
East. When the wage scale is settled for
blast, Conference Committee of both sides is
appointed to settle any difficulties that may
arise during blast.
If the Western blowers accept a reduction in
wages the Eastern workers must follow suit.
An effort was made to see Mr.. Wightman as TO
the causes that have led to the proposition for
a reduction in wages, but as he is out of the
city he could not be seen. One of the workers,
who IS among the leaders in the organization,
said yesterday:
II do not know why there should be a reduc-
tion in wages, and do not know why reduc-
ton should be offered, as trade is very good at
present. The letter received by Mr.. Arlington
from President Wightman says: "A very ma
terial reduction 1t will therefore not be any
ordinary reduction, but a big one. do not be-
lieve the workers will accept any Reduction.
especially q material one We will hold a
convention some time in July; the place has
not yet been named; but am positive the con-
vention will not consent to any reduction IN
wages. The Eastern and Western District AS

on tho matter, and we may give them a big

Small Riot.

Small Riot.
Although everything was quiet in and
around the Duquesne Steel Works yester-
day, the first thing talked of in the morning
was q small riot which occurred at about
n:30 o'clock last night, in which an Italian,
jeremiah Poluski, was badly injured. Poluski
and companion went up to Risher station on
the 1890 A. NJ. train, and was seen by press
representative. He said that he had come
down to the steel works from McKeesport to
induce his brother, who works In the mill, to
come out and go home with him. While trying
to gain an entrance to the yard about six or
eight men came up to him, and without giving
him time to explain himself, began to club and
stone him. He substantiated his story by
showing the wounds he had received the worst
of which were a large lump On his forehead
above the right eye, which. he said, was made
ef tempe from WHICH, bood e9s was OyeT ne

John Fink, the man who was injured on Sun.
day morning, is reported as getting well. and it
is thought that he will be able to be about in
few days.
When the Gas A. M. train came In yesterday
morning B men of several nationalities got off
works by six deputies, Mr. E. T. Clark and the
employment agent, A. P. Geisler. About four
days ago Gesler was advised not to come to
Duquesne any more, and not having put in an
appS1iauSC uhbA yCobeIudyt 1u0 bdlAoIS were
congratulating themselves that he had disap-
peared and would bring no more men up
Monday night at a late hour the two Gill
hooleys and two other men employed in the
works made their appearance at the postoflce,
opposite the hall, while the strikers were in
session. One Of the strikers who had seen this
stated to press representative that if the
steel company permitted their MEMO walk
around the town in that manner after night, or
even in daylight, that riot was liable to occur
almost any moment, notwithstanding that it is
against their policy to participate in such work.
At noon yesterday John Hess. a roller, who
had been with the strikers at first, came out
and rejoined them. He said that he had be-
come disgusted with the way his assistants
were doing the work, and thought it best to
quit.
The strikers held meeting in Citizens Hall
yesterday morning, at which not much was
done except that they resolved to stand firm
and have meetings every day or two, in order
that the men might be kept together and stand
out until their demands were acceded to.
Reports were also heard from the soliciting
committees. They reported that every place
they visited had give them great encourage
ment if they would stand out. They claim that
they have been guaranteed about $500 per

The same subject discussed in the pre-
ceding article also came up prominently in
a meeting in this city. Homer L. Castle,
Esq, addressed large and enthusiastic
audience on the subject of Prohibition
Amendment last night at the Eighth
United Presbyterian Church on Van Braam
street, and the people, who had evidently come
there to listen TO an entertaining address upon
a topic so interesting to them, were not disap-
pointed.
The speaker was introduced as intending to
treat his subject from commercial standpoint.
Among other things, he said:
ITO speak upon the subject before Us to an
intelligent audience like this deserves on my
part an apology. because there is not road
that has been traversed so often as this one
about prohibition. can't tell you anything
else than what you have probably heard many
time. But yet I do believe we cannot really
say too much about it. Our enemies are up
and doing; they are constantly awake, and ever
lastingly refuting the convicting arguments
which we hurl against them, and II is necessary
