WITHIN the past two years some ex-
cellent pavement has been laid upon
our principal business streets. 1t may
be hard to convince stranger of this
fact. but such is the case. The HERALD
saw it laid and has an abiding faith that
somewhere in the depths of mire and
slime that pavement still is lying. 1t
would be little satisfaction if the
energetic street commissioner would
even pillow these streets, for he would
doubtless turn up some interesting
relics, and might possibly be put 20
shame By the profundity of the nasti-
ness.

CHTLIAS animosity toward Americans
is doubtless At the bottom of the charges
against Consul McCreery. Serious
charges have been made, to-wit: that
he dab6led in exchange and speculated
upon his knowledge of national affairs.
The charges are civil in their nature
and should be investigated in open
court. One-haIf the il-feeling over the
Baltimore affair would have been
avoided had not the investigation been
conducted with such profound secrecy.
It is time to comment on the merits Of
the case when the evidence is produced.

of the delegates from Harrison, being
sick, sent n proxy by one OF his col
leagues, in which he inserted the

latter, with the consent of his remain

Howard Weeks. Then there was a con-
test over the delegate from the third
ward of Ne. Clemens. T. j. Hoyt MAS

election on the ground that Hoyt was a
democrat. There were af'idavits from
Mr.. Wade and eighteen other promi-

Democrats and nine republicans. which
showed that Hoyt had voted the dem

Cleveland. aud that he had voted the

WHEELING, w. ". July 9.-Five spe-
cial passenger coaches were attached to
the Il. & o. tain from Chicago which
passed through this city ut . p. m. on It's
way to Pittsburg. The cars were not run
into the depot and were switched direct
on to the Plttsburg branch. Special pre-
cautions seemed To have been made to
prevent an examination of the coaches,
and they attracted no particular atten-
ton.
HOMESTEAD. July 9.-Burgess Nc
Luckle went to Plttsburg this afternoon,
where ne held a conference with Sheriff
McCleary. The situation was reviewed
at length. The burgess pointed out the
fact that the Carnegie mills are not in
the town of Homestead and that there
is no trouble in the town which
equires the Intervention of the
sheriff. He claimed that the town il
orderly and that citizens or visitors on
legitimate business are not interferred
with IN any way. The conference did
not result in any change in the situa.
ton. Although the town authorities
say that no one is interfered with.
every stranger who arrives is watched
from the moment he alights from the
train until his entity is established
newspaper men are particularly subject
TO espionage, and they are stopped In
different parts of town and compelled
to give an account of themselves. If
they fail to answer satisfactorily they
are practically placed under arrest un-
til some reliable citizen comes forward
and vouches for them. Sew
eral instances have occurred today
where representatives OF newspapers
were told by the press committee of the
strikers that unless they were more
careful In their reports they would not
be permitted to remain in town. One
of the leaders in talk with a reporter
for the United Press said today that If
the Carnegie people do not come to u
settlement and sttempt to starve the
men into submission by keeping the
HOMESTEAD mills Idle while urgent
contracts are filled by the Carnegie
company at Braddock, the men are in
position to compel strike at the
latter place.
HOMESTEAD, July 10. a. m.-Two
hundred and fifty pictket men are on
the hill tops overlooking the B. & o.
railway tracks. They are we'll armed
and any attempt to take the works by
force will be met with warm reception.
The town is seemingly fearful, but
word has been passed to house and
armed men are hurrying toward the

MURDER OR sUICIDE9
Unknown Man Picked Up OF Belle
Isle.

DETROIT, July 9.-This morning q
man on the barge Hattie b. saw the
body OF man about 55 years of age
floating of Belle Isle, opposite the en-
CINE house. 1t was taken to the Belle
Isle police station and thence to Geist
Bros. undertaking establishment.
Foul pay was at first suspected, be.
cause of tape was tied around the neck
of the corpse, and ON the end of the
tape was stone weighing eighteen or
twenty pounds. Or. Richard X.
Lansing held post mortem
examination. He found the right
lung entirely consolidated by
pneumonia. There were no bruisea on
the body and no internal injuries. The
doctor gave IL as his opinion that the
man had been suffering with pnenmo-
n ia and had committed suicide, weight
ing himself with the stone to assure
drowning. The body had been in the
about that time for gases to form to
float the body. 1t could not have
tioaIed a great distance and DR.. Lam
sing thinks the man jumped from
either the lighthouse or gravel dock
on the island. The body WAS that
of man about feet 3 inches IN
height. He had fringe of black
hair around an otherwise bald head i,
and full beard. His CLOTH
ing consisted OF striped par of trou-
sers, diagonal coat, dark vest. new
white shirt, turned down collar, small
black bow tie. congress shoes and black
stockings with white toes. In his pock-
cts were found n silver watch, two
pocketbooks with 10 cent piece in one
of them. two tickets IN the Louisiana
lottery dated July IA, pocket-knife,
some needles and thread and a pair of
SCISSORS and piece of paper on which
was written "Mr. and Mrs. +. A. Wood
