Attorneys Bremen and Cox, filed an
application for the release on bail of
James Close, mill worker arrested at
Homestead yesterday on the charge of
wilful murder growing out of the riot.
The hearing was set tomorrow morning.
It is reported that James Flanagan,
Anthony Flaherty and Samnel Burkett,
who were named in the original con-
nection with Mcdonald and McLuckie,
have left for parts unknown.
They have not been seen in Homestead
for some time and the constables are still
waiting to serve the warrants. Every
thing is reported quiet at the Union aud
Duquesne mills. Both places are still
guarded by strong force of watchmen,
but the extreme heat of the week has
had the effect of keeping the strikers off
the streets.
The Reporters Crusade a Farce.
The efforts of few newspaper men
from the East to bring about a compro-
mise between the Carnegie Company and
the strikers has generated into bowling
farce. The leaders in question re
ceived from Superintendent Potter a
copy of certain conditions under which
the men would be permitted to re-
turn to work, and thereupon they
sought an interview with the
advisory committee. This party, how
ever, refused to give them audience
or even to allow them TO enter the meet
ing room. Subsequently, it turned out
that the conditions turned over by
Superintendent Potter with such a show
of magnanimity, were nothing more then
copy of the original decision, formulated
some weeks ago by the Carnegie com
pany. and under which the men must re
nounce the Amalgamated association be
fore being taken back. and must acce pi
the scale laid down by the company.
Rumors of Compromise Denied.
There has been no compromise of the
lockout The mill workers are as de
termined as ever. ODonnell has not
been deposed from his leadership and n,
denies the story that he is tired of the
strike and in favor of wholesale sur
render, His departure for New Yorl
was postponed at the last moment yes
terday, but he will leave TO- day.
The advisory committee are sending
| kilograms in all directions this morning
stating that O'Donneu was in no way
connected in the attempt made by thu
newspaper men to settle the strike anC
that it was not authorized by the advis
ory committee.
The force at the mills augmented
The force of non uniOnists in thl
Homestead mills was augmented thi
morning by the arrival of 15J men from
the East
They were escorted from the station a
Swissvale by Companys D. and G. of th
Fourth Regiment and were taken across
the river on the Little Bill.

Mitchell murder case to-day the defend
ant was called She arose slowly from
her chair and walked deliberately to the
witness stand. It was a highly dramatic
movement She was not sworn, and
answered the questions Of General
Peters IN a low, but firm voice,
She said she had known Freda Ward
as long as she could remember, and
there was nothing unpleasant between
them. She visited Freda at Gold
Dust twice 1hs last time she

she knew of nothing unpleasant between
herself and Mrs Volkmar She saw

was in love with Freda Ward She knew
by the way Freda spoke of him that they
were engaged.
Il didn't want Freda to marry any
young man because ! wanted TO marry
her myself
Then Alice began 20 cry. Freda had

Freda once more, and then she burst
out crying again.
When General Peters had asked that
Alice be placed on the stand the defence
made the objection that there was
no precedent for such action.
A hot argument ensued and an eloquent
plea was made 10 save the family from
the humiliation of Alice making an oxhi

ruled that he must go on with the exami

It has been reported in this city for the
past few days that "A. Beebarstine, -

some time about two years ago, is really
A. Berkman, the would-be murderer of
Manager Frick of the Carnegie mills
Beebarstine came TO this city on April
I, 1891, and put up at the Gibson House.
He said he was a Russian jew and that
he was born at St. Petersburg,
Russia He also said that his parents
lived there He was apparently about
21 years old He could speak
English fairly we'll and while here he
was employed as a helper in a barber
shop.
He left the hotel in about seven months
and returned on January g. 1882 After
doing some business here he left the city.
He has not been heard of since
Many people think that Berkmaan is
the very many who boarded there as
'Beebarstine. He also worked for a
man by the name Of Davis, of New York
city, as an agent for pictures while here.
The pictures of Berkmann in the Phila-
delphia papers do not, however, CORES
pond with that of Beebarstine.
