BY Telegraph to the state chronicle.
PTTTsBURG, Pa, July 25.-Chairman
Henry C. Frick, of the Carnegie COM
pany, did not come down to his office
this morning as he jokingly assured his
companions he would, when he was car
ried to the ambulance on Saturday night
nor is it probable that he will be seen at
his desk for many months to come Re-
ports from his residence this morning
are to the effect that he passed a restful
night, despite the closeness of the atmos-
phere. His extraordinary vitality was
strikingly demonstrated yesterday, for
although it was the hottest that Pitts
burg has experienced in nearly zen years,
his wounds gave him little trouble
while mentally he was bright and active
The fact has developed that on Saturday
Mr.. Frick received in his morning mail
letter which informed him that he
would die before the next day He
passed it over to one of his associates
with a joking remark: Il have but tweI,-
| ty-four hours to live" Afterwards he
placed the missive in one of the pigeon
holes of his desk He referred to the
matter last night and to-day it is being
investigated. 1t is not thought, how
ever. to have any connection with Berg
mans action. The would be assassin
was quietly taken last night from Central
station to the county Jail, where we will
remain until his trial in September.
The orders signed by Mr.. Frick and
posted at the Homestead works this
morning to the effect that men returning
to work would be insured against re-
moval is regarded as the final peace offer
ing of the firm to the strikers. In this
connection representative of the firm
makes an important statement. Even
if Mr.. Frick should die," he said, 1.-The
policy of the management in the presen,
crisis would be strictly adhered to. The
statement that Mr.. Carnegie is not il
full sympathy with Mr.. Frick, in the
course that the latter has pursued of late
is absolutely and unqualifiedly untrue"
Another Arrest at Pittsburg.
PrTTsBURG, Pa. July 25.-Bergman'
landlord, with whom he stopped before
he went to the Merchants Hotel, ha
been arrested as an accomplice in the at
tempted murder of Mr.. Frlck.
Non-Union Men Join the Strikers.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 25.-An air 0
general lassitude prevailed in Home
stead and Camp Black to-day. Group
of gossiping workmen were nos to b
seen on the street corners and there wa
no crowd at any place except the Penn
,, sylvania railroad station. The CaiHegi
mills are running as usual, but the fac
that four of the non union workmen vii
throw up their situations and the repor
that others will follow their example
give confidence to the leaders and prophe
sizes are made that the Carnegie compan
cannot retain enough non-union men i
its service to accomplish any real work
The transport Tide brought number G
non-union men to the works from Pitts
1 burg this morning. While the vesso
was opposite Homestead warning to tn
: strikers was given by the repeated blow
d d ing of a steamboat whistle. Quite
crowd of people went to the river banl
Ii but no demonstration of hostility Wa
made
