suspeotad Of Poisoning

AAhhlobOhOs AT 1cCs kGs - D6puOy
Sheriff Farrell applied to the governor this
morning for a requisition on the governor
of Kentucky for the delivery of Robert F.
Beatty to the Allegheny county authorities.
Beatty is under arrest In Louisville for as
sault. There is strong evidence at hand to
show that he was concerned in poisoning
non-unionists at the Carnegie works at
Homestead.
o'DoNNELL PUTS IN A DENIAL.
PrTTsBURG, Pa. Dec. 12.-Hugh O'Dons
nell, ex-leader Of the Homestead strikers,
was interviewed in jail this morning ON the
subject of the poisoning Of non-union men
at Homestead. He denounces the report as
false.
Informations will be made shortly against
the persons implicated in the alleged poison
ing plot against the Homestead steel work
ers and sensational developments are ex-
pected. As yet the attorneys for the Car
negie Steel Company are reticent as the
publications came before their plans were
fully matured.
The alleged conspiracy was the principal
topic discussed here to-day. The strikers
discredit the story and claim that they are
beiug persecuted, while the counsel for the
Carnegies assert that they will be able to
substantiate the charges.
Capt. Brock, Deputy Sheriff Farrell and
William @. Lindsay left tonight for Louis
Beatty, charged with being implicated in
the alleged plot to poison non-unionists.
BEATTY APPLIES FOR HABEAs CORPUS.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 12.-Robert ].
Beatty, who has been arrested here for
being concerned IN the alleged plan to poison
non-union men at the Homestead mills, ap-
piled for habeas corpus writ this morning
The writ was issued and the case placed on
the docket for tomorrow. Beatty was at
first arrested for felonious assault. The
sheriff of Allegheny county, Pennsyl vania i,
learning of 1t, applied for a requisition on
the governor Of Kentucky on the ground
that he was wanted for completely in plot
to poison non-union men during the strike.
ALL THE TALK AT HOMESTEAD.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Dec. 12.-The sense
in the Carnegie steel works here, while en-.
gaging the attention OF almost every person
in town are given no credence by the
majority of people, whether they have been
identified with the strikers or not. Some of
the strikers who have failed TO secure en-
ployment, say that the story is prompted
by the Carnegie firm, for the purpose OF
profit through any influence it might have
on the murder aud riot cases yet to be tried
in court.
While a large majority Of the residents
look upon the poisoning story as untrue
nearly every physician in the borough Is in
clineds to regard the matter as worthy Of
thorough Investigation. One OF the most
prominent physicians said tonight that he
had some experience treating cases Of
diarrhoea contracted in the mill and found
the cases very obstinate. He had never
before treated o bowel complaints of a sim
liar nature. he opines that the detectives
working in this case have not labored In
vain.

commissioners (that is, different per-
sons) should be appointed for each new
proceeding; and l believe it was also
the intention of that body that these
commissioners should be residents of
the district to be assessed. If euch be
the fact, the intention was a wise and
honest one, and an intention that should
be carried out. The commissioners
whose neighbors are apt to call
around in the evening and ask
them how they are getting along,
how soon they will get through
how much each of them are to be as
sessed, the value OF property, ETC., are
not apt to loiter around the city hall,
smoke good cigars and talk politics, and
finally ask their neighbors to pay them
at the rate Of 5000 month for doing 30.
Whether my opinion of the intention of
the legislature is correct or not. it GER
tainly was not their intention to foist
upon the citizens standing commission
such as the present city council has
fastened upon Los Angeles. think it
would be wise for that body to stop and
consider this hint. It would be about
the first popular act committed by them
in case they should adopt it. Ut might
be relevant here to inquire of my friend
Jesse Hardesty whether or not the two
Republicans on this standing commits
sion are members of that politico-social
body, the Union league. ***

10th, of this year, Captain Dick began
his descent of the Quiniault river, in a
canoe, to the Quiniault reservation, and
thence drove to Astoria with team.
At Portland, he was joined by hardy
young miner aud woodsman named j.
G. Grader, and the two men came down
here for the purpose of looking
up the Ell Rey del Argento mine,
described in Martins map. They left
for San Diego county last Monday morn
ing. and from some station on the
Santa Fe went into the interior on
horseback. The description left by
Martin must have been accurate, for the
two prospectors returned yesterday
with bag of sample ore from the
abandoned shafts of the Ell Rey. 1t
seems that within five years two other
miners have worked the same claim.
One of them was shot and killed, and
the other disappeared about four years
ago. The samples brought down by
Captain Dick and Mr.. Grader were SUBJ
mitted to an assayer yesterday and the
results are anxiously awaited by the two
rediscoverers of the mine. As to the
location of the latter the two men are
discreetlv silent.

DAMAGE SUITS.
BIG SUMS WANTED FROM THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Brakeman Lees Big Verdict for His Lost
Leg-Mrs. Frank Wants 100000 for
Violent Election.

The suit of Charles A. Lee against
the Southern Pucifc Railroad company
was submitted for argument yesterday
afternoon. During the morning several
witnesses testified for the plaintiff and
others in behalf of the railroad COM
pany. The case was then argued by
Attorney Bicknell for the defendant and
Messrs. Cole. Del Vale and Munday for
the plaintiff.
The jury retired shortly after s
o'clock and deliberated over the case for
exactly one hour when they returned a
verdict awarding Lee $25, 1000 damages.
Lee was brakeman in the employ of
the company, and lost a leg while coup
ling cars.
The suit of V. Bailey against the
Southern Pacific Railroad company is
on trial in Judge Wade's branch OF the
superior court. Bailey seeks to recover
$50, 900 damages for being elected from
a train for having presented an unsigned
ticket from this city to Portland, Oregon.
The ticket, it is claimed, was purchased
from ticket broker and the plaintiff,
when on the stand yesterday afternoon,
admitted that he had paid ticket
broker IS to check his baggage on an
other ticket, as he had been informed
that he could not check it on the un-
signed ticket which he had purchased.
The following is the jury: @. E. Patter-
son, +. R. Thompson, T. A. House,
Alex. Weiss, Jesse Knight, Elisha Mil.
lard, VIM. o. McClintock, George Basse-
man, John R. Summers, H. D. Fowler,
James A. Montgomery, NJ. M. Brothers.
The case will probably be concluded
today.
A suit for 100000 damages was filed
in the county clerks Office yesterday by
Mrs. Jennie Frank against the Southern
Pacific Railroad company. Mrs. Frank
alleges that on the 18th Of February she
presented a ticket for Dallas, Texas,
which ticket had been purchased in that
city of conductor of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company, and that it was
refused unless she paid SIS additional.
This she refused to do, and was elected
from the train with violence by Con-
ductor Harris. She boarded Southern
Pacific train on March 5th with the
same ticket, the same demand was made,
and she was again violently elected ard
suffered injuries which confined her to
bed for some time. She therefore asks
for $l00, 900 damages, or $5O, 900 for each
election from train.

The First Lot of Cattle From That
Region.
The first lot of Inyo county beef cattle
for Los Angeles was landed here yes
terday. Mr.. o. I. Mairs of Independ-
ence, brought $50 head of steers. The
animals are for Maiers, on North Spring
street. The cattle were driven to Mo.
jave and brought from there to the city
by rail.
On the way down Mr.. Maiers had an
unpleasant adventure. One night while
camped on the plain he was walked up
by his camp being on fire. The bed
ding was all in flames and before he
could free himself he was severely
burned about the face. None of the
others in the camp were burned. These
cattle were brought through in good
condition and there will now be regu-
lar demand here for Inyo county beef.
