QUIET ON THE NORTHSIDE.

The Ordering Out of the Militia Causes
But Little Excitement in Allegheny
Her Oae Company Responds Very Gal
lantly to- the Call.
The ordering of the State militia to
Homestead caused but little excitement in
Allegheny yesterday. The Northside
boasts of but one company. 1t is Company
L, of the Fourteenth Regiment, commanded
by Captain j. R. Day. He received his
orders about daylight and soon had detach-
ments gathering up his men. So successful
was he that when the order to march was
given 63 men were in the ranks This was
the largest company sent out by the Four
teenth Regiment
The company had its headquarters In
| Samples Hall on Federal street. All day
long q crowd, varying in size from 100 to
200, thronged the pavements on both sides
of the street. 1t was a quiet, orderly
gathering, and save for few small boys, no
demonstrations were made. Two sentries
guarded the door and no one but those
having business within were allowed to
enter.
The Scheme Did Not Work.
During the morning two men applied for
admission. They said they were ex-mem-
bers of the Guard, but on cross-examination
this proved to be false. The men were not
arrested, but ordered to beat hasty retreat,
which they did A peculiar incident in
connection with the company occurred to-
day. The term of enlistment of five of its
members expired at noon yesterday and
they did not need to go to the 'front.' The
men did not ask to be re-enlisted, but were
Eol hi =, fh trIa
of Allegheny City life.
Just as the big clock in Carnegie Library
announced that it was $3.50, the doors of the
headquarters were opened and the men filed
out onto Federal street. When they were
all out halt was ordered. Their move
ment had brought the entire populace of
Federal street to the pavements, and the
street for short time took on some
of the life of its sister across
the river. Gathered around the
soldier boys were their friends More than
one haired woman bade her son goodby
with tears glistening in her eyes. At 1886
Captain Davy gave the order to march, and
at once the slen moved off down the street
amid chorus of goodbys The line of
march was down Federal street to the Sixth
street bridge, over into Pittsburg and up
market street to the Central Armory.
Troops Passing Through Allegheny.
After Company E had left Allegheny tn e |
crowd dispersed and the city dropped back |
to its original self The only other troops |
passing through the city was Company B. |
Tenth Regiment, of New Brighton, which |
went through over the Pittsburg and Ft |
Wayne about 8 o'clock. 1t did not land in |
Allegheny, but came on over to Union /
depot.
Chief Murphy, of the Allegheny Police
Department, issued orders to have extra
men at all the depots and different parts of |
the city. As during the riots of II he was
the tougher element of the
to come in and he wanted to be
able to receive them. Orders were given to
arrest all suspicious individuals and if they
could not give good account of themselves,
they would be sent up to the workhouse
until affairs quieted down at Homestead.
Up until late in the evening no arrests of
this character had been made.
