TUNNELroN, w. VA, July 1s.-The
great party of moral ideas which
once boasted of being led by Lincoln,
guarded by Seward and inspired by
Sumner, has at last sunk TO is level OF
corruption and hypocrisy. Its leaders
in West Virginia DO not hesitate 70
desecrate the Sabbath il by ''slate max
ing" they can hold on 10 that power
which has been attained by deception,
bribery and faud. There was a meet
ins.9f the Big -Four at Deer Park on
SUNDAY 60 make a "Slate" 70 be ratified
b4 The Republican State Convention, to
bs held in Huntington August 3.
+ Secretary Elkins and Commissioner
Mason, of Washington, and Chairman
( Dawson and Editor Hart, Of Wheeling,
met at Deer Park on Sunday and re-
paired at once to the EIkinS Cottage,
where they were closeted the major
part of the day and evening. The great
question TO be decided by the Big Four
was the Governorship. The small fry
politicians have set their hearts on
Elkins for Governor, but ElkinS'S aspi-
rations are not in that direction. He
wants to be United States Senator, and
according to his declaration before the
West Virginia Republican Club or
Washington, as published in the Sun
DAY REGISTER, John W. Mason will
be the next Governor OF West Nir-
ginia."
The consonous opinion OF the
oeice-holders and ofice-seekerS is that
Elkins be allowed to name the ticket as
she only hope of electing it is the Elk
ins barrel. The consultation and desc
Grafton OF the Sabbath day by the Big
Four terminated with the understand
ing that Commissioner Mason was 70
make the race for Governor and ElkinS
for United States Senator. There is
nothing left for the Huntington con-
ventlon TO do but to ratify il.

Tour As Mr.. Murphy's Guest.

PIrrsBURG, PA, july lS.-A rumor
that could not be verified was ahoat to-
night that Hugh 0'Donnell would sail
for Europe tomorrow. As the story
goes, Owen Murphy, friend OF O'Don-
nell's, recently sold out his business at
Homestead for large sum, and went to
New York, where he was joined by
ODonnell, and the two were TO make
tour OF Ireland, 0'Donnell going as

PIrTSBURG, PA, July 1s.-At the
Union Mills all the furnaces were fired
up this morning in anticipation OF che
return OF some OF the men, but none ap-
piled for work and the fires were extin-
guished. The assistant superintendent
stated tonight that number OF rollers
who had been discharged from Clarks
mill during the last strike and had been
unable to secure jobs, were anxious
to 90 TO work. They would
be given the most responsible
positions, he said, and now labor
would be introduced. He expected, how
ever, that at least half OF the old men
would return in a few days. Painters
were engaged at the lower MILL this al.
ternoon In repalntIng the signs, and in
place OF Carnegie, Phipps & Co, IL was
said the new signs would read "Carne-
gle Steel Company, Limited, Non-Union
Mills" The strikers said this was a
further bluff OF the company, and would

STRICT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
The strctest precaution had been
taken all during the afternoon. Passes
outside the lines were refused TO privates
and officers alike. Tonight after the
departure of the accused the restriction
was removed. The early morning mass
ing OF troops on the Homestead side OF
the river is being recalled tonight, as
not without significance in this connec-
tion and strengthening Of the guards
throughout the city during the after
noon is also commented upon as show
ing that a stormy time was deemed not
improbable.
Among the bulk Of the strikers dur
ing the afternoon and evening any talk
of arrests was scented as the heighth OF
'abSurdity. "Arrest who-Carnegie,
Frick, and Pinkerton?-yes we have
heard some talk Of that" was about the
way any inquiry on the subject was
greeted. Tonight different answer
was returned. To q question as to
whether any counter move would be
made by the strikers and warrants
sworn out for the Pinkertons or others,
Mr.. Rylands, one of the best known OF
the strikers, said: II have not heard OF
such action being taken, We are at
present simply resting on our oars and
calmly awaiting Developments"
During the afternoon a wild rumor
was in circulation that command OF
the militia had passed rapidly through
several OF the streets in Homestead,
stopping at several houses, apparently
intent on seizing certain persons or TAX
ing possession of concealed fire arms or
explosives. Both Gen. Snowden and
Sheriff McCleary denied any knowledge
of such an expedition. No call upon
the military had been made TO furnish
aid to the civil authorities,

The intensity of the wife's defense OF
her husbands uprightneSs and manli-
ness was almost pathetic, but her brave
demeanor under the trying circum-
stances gave admiration the first place
over sympathy. She was standing in
the parlor of the CHEEKY home OF which
the strikers leader is the master, and it
was the first intimation she had re-
ceived of the new danger staring her in
the face. Her prediction as to the
course he would pursue seemed born of

that not even the men who have fol-

ANOTHER DRAMATIC SCENE.
While the dramatic scene was in
progress at O'Donnell's home, another
striking picture could have been wit
messed on the hill top, quarter CT
mile away, where the headquarters Of
General Snowden, in command of the
militia guarding the Carnegie mills is
situated.
Just under the folds Of the Stars and
Stripes, futtering from the flagstaff,
surmounting the school house occupied
as the headquarters, could be seen two
strangely unlike men standing side by
side gazing earnestly out of the high
window in the direction OF town. One
was the stalwsrt military form of Gen.
Snowden with field glass untitled, scan
ming the groups OF strikers about the
Amalgamated headquarters. He was
taking a sweeping glance every moment
or two through the streets OF the
borough as though expecting any mo-
ment an emergency requiring action.
Beside him was saturnine-featured
little man with piercing eyes, Deputy
Sheriff Gray, the same individual who
conducted the Pinkertons from Pitts
burg to their fearful encounter with
the strikers on the river bank at Home
stead. 1t was long time ehefore either

HOMESTEAD, PA, July Is. - The
gloomiest night In Homestead since the
Pinkertons ran the gauntlet came with
Sundown this evening.
1t was not until after dark that 1t be-
came generally known that seven OF the
most conspicuous men in the strikers
ranks were absent from the town with
warrants for murder hanging over their
heads.
OThe most prominent of the accused,
Hugh O'Donnell, had not been searched
for in Homestead by officers OF the law,
owing to hiSdeparture on a secret mis-
sion last night. All the others were
trailed after here by three representa-
tives of the judicial arm Of the State,
who slipped into Homestead during the
afternoon. The quest was unsucceSs-
full, none Of the men wanted being
where they could be put under arrest.
At 7:19 D. NJ, John McLuckie. unac-
companied by officers, voluntarily pro-
ceeded TO Pittsburg to face the charges
against him.
1t was rumored at frs. that knowl-
edge OF the warrants was the explana-
tlon of Hugh O'Donnell's mysterious
and sudden departure last night, but
this was vehemently denied and is
scarcely credited.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1892-07-19

Gen. Snowden or the Deputy Sheriff re-
laxed their vigilant survey.
Subsequent developments made 1t
certain that both were aware OF the
search being made in the town for the
accused leaders, and were apprehen-
sive that the capture and carrying of OF
any or all of them might precipitate
bloody riot.

There was just the suspicion OF a
tremor in her voice as she asked the au-
thority for the statement, and if there
were any details. Upon being con-

there was any connection between the
