HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12.-Th g
troops reached here unexpectedly at
9:25 this morning, Therefore the regu-
lar reception program was not carried
out. However,, the troops were re-
ceived with respect and courtesy.
They Immediately invested the Carne-
gle works and threw out picket lines
and the surrounding streets were pa
trolled and gua:ded at each street in
tersection. The strikers were uni
formly good natured and peaceful.
Their leaders instructions were
obeyed to the letter. After taking
possession of the works the companies
marched into Homestead proper and
were stationed at various portions,
and the village passed under martial
law.
During this time several regiments
took up their position on the other
bank of the Monongahela, opposite
the Carnegie works on o bluff, with
two gatlings and three field pieces
which alone would have rendered the
strikers position untenable if they
had resisted. The strikers pickets
are still stationed outside the militia
lines to warn the approach of any
Pinkerton or non-union men, they be-
lieving the militia here to support the
sheriff, not to settle the strike.

TIE GOOD RoBBER.
Powell is in. Jail and His Church Friends

Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 12.-Bud
Powell, the renowned train robber,
member Of the Presbyterian church,
graduate of business school and in
dustrious ranchman, is still in Jail
here. He has made no effort to give
bond and but little to secure lawyers
services stating that he has no money.
A letter was received today from Rev.
L. A. Wicks, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Boulder, Montana, of
which Powell was o member.
He says that during his two years
ofresidence the ex-bandit has lead a
most exemplary life, and did not swear,
smoke, chew, drink or gamble. Was
at divine worship whenever he could
possibly attend, sometimes riding
miles to be on hand, and altogether
has demonstrated his right to be
Christian. Through the press of
Texas he asks that mercy be shown.
1t Is certainty that but for his foolish
confession Powell could not be legally
convicted, as neither of the principal
witnesses against him can be OBJ
tanned.
The train robbing gang was given
away by two brothers who were men,
bers of it. Their name was Hariall
James Harrall, under con viction for
previous crimes, died in the federal
penitentiary short while ago. Eli
Harrall has not been heard OF in three
years. It Is supposed he was
slain by friends of the men
against whom he turned states
evidence. Without the testimony of
these two Powell would go scott free.
Whether or not his confession can be
used against him is legal point upon
which lawyers disagree. 1t is pretty
certain that the church people of this
city will como to his rescue.

WILLIAM WALDORF ASToR DEAD.
LONDON, July 12.-William Wal
dorf Astor died at Lansdown House
today. For some reason there seems
to be disposition on the part of the
Astor family to suppress the news of
his death. AS late as midnight re-
porters who called at Lansdown
House were told by the servants that
Astor was not dead. The servants de-
clined to awaken the family for further

longs in 1:26 at Monmouth.

MONMOUTH PARK, July 12.-Wit-
nesses of today's races saw races of
the most sensational character.
Kingston began the excitement by
breaking the seven-furlong record,
running the distance with 128 pounds
up in 1:26. Taral had the mount.
Garrison on Strathmeath forced the
Brown Whirlwind into breaking the
record by his terrific push in the last
turlong.
The finish in the last race saw Dag
onet, Garrison up, and Stockton,
Clayton up, pass the judges locked to-
gether in a dead heat. They also
covered the seven furlongs in 1:26, but
the race was down the straigtaway,
while Kingston's performance was
made around the inner circle course.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 12.-H. Clay
King, the condemned murderer of d.
H. Poston, was brought from Jackson
yesterday and lodged in Jail to await
execution. A death watch was placed
on King. The relatives of the MUIR

not to sign petition to Governor
Buchanan asking that Kings sem

and is the talk of the town. Kings
attorneys have secured very few sign

far. The attorney general also pub
lished card opposing any interfer-

liant and popular old veteran of the Mexican
and Florida wars, was then in command Of the
marine brigade and he joined us down town in
form, as the summons was unexpected. In his
absence Capt. Tyler took command.
SOME OF THE OFFICERS
He was in citizens dress at first and hurri-
eddy sent for his uniform. Some panic-stricken
servant or relative sent him his full-dress uni
form coat, very dark blue, blazing with gold
and scarlet, and he presented q rather singular
appearance in that conspicuous garment with
q high silk hat and black vest and trousers and
his beautiful dress sword belted around him.
He was brave, resolute soldier, just the man
for such On emergency. We numbered exactly
one hundred in ranks-corporals and priyates-
and ten or twelve officers and sergeants. We
had no music, and were quickly divided into
two companies, Brevet Major Zeilin and Lieut..
Turner commanding the first company, Capt.
Maddox and Lieut.. Henderson the second.
Charley Henderson," as he was called by the
men, was the generals son, and was as popular
with the rank and file as his father
was. He killed . Mexican officer in
square sword fight in one Of the battles in
Mexico and brought of his poncho as a trophy.
Bully Zeilin" was also q gallant and popular
veteran. Capt Maddox was q courteous and fine
looking officer, but a stranger to the men here.
Lieut.. Turner and Lieuts. Fontaine and Ram
sey, who afterward joined u in the city, were
young officers. At that time the marine officers
were appointed from civil life, instead Of being
graduates Of Annapolis. Only two ever rose
from the ranks Of this aristocratic organiza-
ton 80 far a. know. They were Capts. Gil
lespie and Tansill, the latter efterwsrd colonel
In the confederate army. Both were promoted
for bravery in Mexico, where the marines did
gallant service-as they always do-acting as
infantry in Gen. SCOTS army, But the actual
commander Of the marine battalion here on
most occasions was Sergt. Maj. Robinson, the
very model Of q soldier. Tall, erect and hand
some, with dark hair and mustnche and q cour-
teous address, always arrayed in faultess uni
form, he was 1t once the sergeant major and
commander Of the battalion, the drill instructor
Of the young officers, who seemed to obey him
- literally g the sergeants did, and the firm
but kind adviser and friend Of the enlisted men.
He died OF consumption caused by overexer-
ton and exposure ct the frat battle Of Bull
Run, where he fought like Q hero.
