which will allow them to accept such a
radical change with equanimity. While
the correspondence between Sheriff Nc
Cleary and Governor Pattison apparently
shows the reason that induced the gov

view is held by some of the leaders.
They think that the minors from many
points of active recruiting of men for the
the strikers that Pinkerton men are as
sembllng near Homestead to induce the
governor to take action. The leaders
profess to be certain that Pinker-
ton spies are in town and this
belief is borne out by the recognition
here yesterday of one of Pinkerton's
chiefs, man who has been in the ser
vice of the agency for many years. The
tug Tide, which conveyed the ill-fated
barges loaded with Pinkerton men up
from Pittsburg, put in an appearance
again this afternoon. She came up the
river to the ferry landing just below the
Carnegie property and lay out in the
stream for some time. No attempt was
made to land at the works and the tug

accomplished anything except to recon

of California, and Mr.. Clark, of Wvo
ming. The question of amending the
bill was considered and Mr.. Culberson
made strong legal argument, citing a
for ner decision of Justice Miller of the
supreme court, which clearly met
the present case, and said if the
Senate bill was PASSED without
amendment as to the repeal of the
act of July IA, 1890, in regard to the re-
demptlon of silver certificates it would
not stand. The debate was continued
pro and con. by several members. On
motion of Mr.. Williams the caucus agreed
to amend the bill by providing that the
section repeating the act of 1890 shall
not affect the legal tender quality of the
certificates nor the obligations of the
treasury to redeem them; also that the
authority given to the treasury depart
ment to coin bnllion now in the treasury
shall not interfere with the coinage Of
bullion as presented by private parties.

from Paris at o'clock Sunday evening,
and at once began preparations for the
execution of the notorious Ravachol.
The scatfoid was erected in a public
place, about sixty metres from the prison.
Ravachol could plainly hear the carpen-
ters at work in its construction. About
o'clock this morning Ravachol, who
had fallen asleep in spite of his knowl-
edge that his death was imminent was
aroused, and notified that his time had
come. He assumed an air of bravado
and made mocking reply. He
rudely refused the religious services
rendered by the prison priest.
After he had been securely bound, H.
Berger, assistant to IN. Departs" cut
away the prisoners collar and shaved off
his back hair. Ravachol joked with
those around him and indulgcd in pro
fame and indecent comments, but instead
of creating the desired impression of
indifference, he showed plainly that he
was teverlshly excited and hardly knew
what he was saying. These prepara-
tlons completed, the prisoner was led
forth from the prison, placed In the
prison van and hurried to the place of
execution. When the prison van reach

desired to say anything He replied
that he would address the crowd,
but instead of speaking, he began to
sing an indecent song, and danced to
the refrain as well as he could with his
ankles strapped. The officers in charge
soon tired of this burlesque and gave the
signal. The eXecutioners assistants at
once seized Ravachol, whercupOn the
latter's demeanor suddenly changed. He
dropped his assumption of Indifference
and struggled furiously, but was speedily
overpowered and borne to the fatal block

Ravachol was one of the most eXtraor-

murder was that of the Hermit of Cham

Besides these crimes he was suspected of

degrees below the normal. The highest
temperature was S6 degrees; the lowest
during the week, SO degrees, at Weldon.
The rainfall was considerably above the

soaked and preventing the cultivation of
crops. A fair amount of sunshine pre-
vailed during Thursday, Friday and

IN Homestead this evening in expccta-
ton of the arrival of the State troops.
Men, women and children were in the

was intense. There were more people
III the streets than at any time since
the battle of Wednesday. Notwithstand-
ing the proclamation of Burgess Nc
Luckie notifying women and children to
keep in doors there were many calico
gowns and knee breeches visible. Greater
interest seemed to be manifested by the
women than by the men. The some
thing for which they waited did not
turn up. Every passenger train was
closely inspected, but no blue coated
mlhtlamen appeared at the window
The curious and expectant people finally
gave up waiting and went to their
homes. The action of the mass meeting
this afternoon in agreeing to extend a
cordial reception to the militia is favora-
bly, commented on. Nearly all the
Worklngmen appear to look on the sol

feeling prevailing there is little fear
of further trouble. while the State troops
are IN control. The advisory committee
received information to night that three
men, representing themselves as agents
ofthe amalgamated association were solc-
iting subscriptions for the locked out
