WORD FROM O'DoNNELL
Revives the Hopes of the Striking Mill Mel
at Homestead.

Revives the Hopes of the Striking Mill Men
at Homestead.
At midnight Tom Crasford, the acting
chairman of the Advisory Board at Home
stead, received this telegram:
Boston, Aug. 8. 1892.
To Tom Crawford Homestead, Pa:
Boston will send you $1,000 through the
proper channels. Will be home Wednesday
night. HUGH O'DoNNELL
Crawford read this dispatch to The DIS
PATCH reporter and then said: 81 wish you
would quote me as saying this: The
Homestead strike is still on, and the m en-
IRE satisfied that they will win. The blu #
made by Mr. Potter and Secretary Lovejoy
has been called, much to their disgust.
The action of the Duquesne men, in return
ing to work doesn't alarm us, for we have
been expecting break in that quarter for
several days. 1 have just shown you this
telegram from O'Donnell, and by 1t you
can see that we have trm friends on the out
side. You will find that in the end the men
will gain complete victory"
There is no doubt but what Hugh O'Don-
nell's arrival on Wednesday night,
if he does arrive, will create
q general sensation in Homestead His
prolonged absence has created deal of talk
among the striking mill men, and his pres
ence, coupled with the fact that number of
the non-union men have deserted the works,
will revive the hopes OF the strikers
A large number of non-union men en-
ployed in the Homestead mills quit work
yesterday and departed from the borough.
Members of the Advisory Board said last
night that they were positive that over 200
men left on Saturday and Sunday, and that
100 Of these came out yesterday. The
agents of the company would neither deny
nor affirm this. As matter OF fact
1t least 100 machinists, mechanics and
laborers came out yesterday. The majority
of them called at labor headquarters and
conferred with members of the Advisory
Board. They declared that they had money
enough to get back to their homes, and all
they wanted was protection until they left
Homestead. Their prayer was quickly
granted, and by 10 o'clock in the evening
they were all on their way homeward.

A DESERTER CAPTURED.

A Bright Young Man From Massachusetts,
Tilted by His Sweetheart, Joins the Reg
ular Army, Then Deserts and Is Cap
tured in This City.
Herbert L. Kellen, a deserter from the
United States Army, was arrested in this
city last night after nine months freedom
from the service. Kellen is a telegraph
operator and has been working in this city
since last May for the Postal Telegraph
Company. His connection with that COM
pany was severed a few days ago, and last
night he went to work for the United Press
Association. Two hours after he sat down
at his desk Detective McTighe walked in
and placed him under arrest
Kellen's home is at Dedham, Mass, and
he il q years of age. In July, 1891, after
a quarrel with his sweetheart, he enlisted
in Company D, Second Artillery, at Fort
Warren, Boston Harbor. After three
months service Kellen became discusted
with his duties as private in an artillery
company, and with the aid of civilians
suit of clothing escaped from the barracks
and deserted
Until last NAV he roamed around the
country with the fear of capture upon him,
regretting the rashness that had caused him
to act so hastily, but too proud of the good
old family name that his father had carried
all through the war to adopt an alias.
Herbert Kellen was his name under all cir
cumstances, but, notwithstanding the care
full vigilance exerted BY the Government
after deserters, he escaped detection until
yesterday. .
Kellen comes of good family and is
young man of superior intelligence. He
refuses to tell the story of his life, but from
the few remarks he has let fall it must be
an unusually interesting one.
The army officials in this city will take
charge of the prisoner to-day, and will re-
turn him under guard to Boston Harbor.
Detective McTighe, under the United States
regulations, will receive the $50 reward for
the capture of deserter. Kellen will no
doubt be sent to frontier post as punish
ment for his o1ense, and kept at hard work
for the period of time his desertion covers,
without pay.
