PITTsBURG, Dec. 16.-Pat Gallagher,
the cook at Homestead, has excited the
greatest indignation by his purported
confession concerning the plot to poison
non-union men.
In regard to the alleged connection of
District Master Workman Dempsey with
the plot, Mr.. Dempsey says: II desire
to deny the foul charge implied in what
is termed Gallagher's confession. | wish
to state that never at any time, direct
ly or indirectly, gave, or caused to be
given, poison to any one to be used
against the non-unionists in the Home
stead mill. In my opinion, life is too
sweet to be trifed with, and l would be
the last man in the world to advise
any such means to attack it, This
is all / have to say in regard to the mat
ter"
The story of the selection of the
poison alleged to have been used in the
executionsof the Homestead plot was
learned from what claims to be an al
thoritative source. The design was not
to cause the death of any of the non
union men, but to produce such an cpl
demic Of sickness as to create panic
among them and thus effect stampede
from the works. The story goes that
prolonged discussion ensued among the
conspirators as to the kind of poison to
be used, and it was finally decided to
consult druggist. The conspirators
represented that they wanted TO disable
pugilist, SC that he could not win
fight in which he was to engage. They
were asked if they wanted the drug to
act quickly or otherwise.
IL was stated that they preferred
something that would take effect gradu-
ally, so as not to arouse suspicious. The
conspirators were told that certain
preparation could be made that would
gradually undermine the strength, and
If persisted in would knock the victim
in three or four days. The formula of
the preparation was obtained, and it is
said the ingredients were found in the
samples of coffee and soup which were
analysed by the chemists of the COM
pany at Braddock, Homestead and Du-
quesne.

GREATEST GUN ON EARTH.
1t Stands Pressure of Thirty Tons to the
Square Inch.


NEW YORK, Dec. 1G.-The first firing
of the Brown segmental tube wire five
inch gun at Birdsboro, Pa. on Satur-
day, the ID inst, was made with the
tube only rough bored, the object being
chiefly to test the working of the
breech mechanism rather than to ex-
pertinent with high pressures in the
gun
The results We're very satisfactory.
On the third fire, in which eighteen
pounds of powder and an eighty-four-
pound shot were used, the breech
mechanism worked perfectly and easily
and pressure of more than 60, 900 pounds
to the square inch.
This result was rather astonishing,
but subsequent frings demonstrated
that the pressure of over 60, 600 pounds
to the square inch obtained at the third
shot was absolutely accurate. The first
firing of the Brown segnental wire gun
without a lining tube has shown, there
fore, that it will withstand absolutely
without a lining tube and without the
slightest injury, pressure that would
burst any other kind OF a gun.

The Unsuccessful Train Robbers Make u
Clean Breast Of the Whole Affair,


Clean Breast Of the Whole Affair.
HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Dec. 16.-Tom
Collins, one of the men arrested for the
attempted Chesapeake and Ohio train
robbery, has confessed to Chief Turner
and Detective Fitzgerald. His story is
briefly told, as follows;
Forgey planned the robbery two
weeks ago, and Collins was induced to
go into the scheme upon promise of
full share in the spoils. Collins was
drilled at Forgey's house for several
nights in order that he might know ex-
actly what TO do. Mrs. Forgey was
present and knew all about the affair.
Monday night was chosen because it
was stolming, and their escape after
the hold-up would be comparatively
easy.
The plan. as intended, was to get on
the front platform Of tho first coach and
then rob the train systematically, car
by car, They were then to pun the
bellcord, stop the train, and make off in
the darkness.
The start was made from Forgeys
house, and Mrs. Forgey made the masks
they Wore.
Die, the Cincinnati German brewer,
spoiled the job by making theresistance
he did in the first coach.
Collins was the man who rushed to
Forgey's assistance when Die had him
down, and it was Collins who fired the
shots that killed Die and wounded
Burns. Both robbers were wounded by
the collectors bullets.

A NEW IMMIGRATION LAW,
With Conditions, Which May BE En-
forced by the President,

With Conditions, Which May BE En-
forced by the President.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The outcome
of the present agitation for a suspension
of immigration will be, it is thought by
men most familiar with such complica-
tons, a law authorizing the president
to suspend immigration at His discre-
ton, but only when there is an epidemic
prevailing on there is other good cause.
The Democrats say they will not take
the responsibility of arbitrarily suspend
ing immigration, declaring that any
man that votes for such a prop
osition will be politically buried
They hold further, as many Republic
ans do, that there is no excuse for
suspending immigration unless there is
an epidemic and therefore authority
vested in the president is sufficient
When the subject comes before the two
houses of congress proposition will be
made to compel the steamship compa-
MES to provide twice the space now pro-
vided for Storage passengers. This, it
is thought, will have the effect of MAX
ing double charges for steerage passage
and will keep out the paupers and I'M
desirable immigrants generally. Immi-
grafton is taking sharp political turn
now.
