A WOMAN'S POCKET PICKED.

Officers Have Lively Time Arresting Two
Men on the Soathside-One of Them
Wanted in Cincinnati for Larceny.
An exciting fight occurred at South Four
teenth and Carson streets just after the
parade was over last night. Inspector Nc
Kelvy and Detective McTighe had gone to
the Southside to assist the force in watch
ing for pickpockets After the parade HAD
passed down Carson street a woman on her
way from the market reported to Inspector
Kelly that she had been robbed of her
pocketbook containing S12. She pointed
out two men whom she suspected OF having
committed the robbery, and the officers
started for them.
The men showed fight from the start and
gave the officers hard chase. Detective
McTighe caught one of the men, who
turned on him and dealt him a heavy blow
in the face. Special Officer Kelly came to
the assistance of McTighe and his assailant
was landed in the Twenty-eighth ward sta
tion house. Inspectors McKelvy and Kelly
chased the other man down South
Fourteenth street and caught him as he
was about to disappear in an alley, and he
was also locked up.
The woman who lost her pocketbook
identified one of the men, who gave his
name as Frank Robinson, as the one who
had ATTEMPTED to take her purse, and
she thought he got it. The other
prisoner gave his name as Michael Devlin.
The police recognized in the first man ar
rested Orlando Robbins man who is
wanted in Cincinnati for grand larceny. The
authorities here were notified few days
ago that Robbins had come to Pittsburg,
and Inspector McKelvy suspected that he
would be on the Southside last night.

this warned voters that the South would be
in the saddle if the Democrats came into
power.
The total number of men in line cannot
have been far from 1000, and they occupied
exactly 20 minutes passing the corner of
Thirteenth and Carson streets.
The police arrangements were capital,
and the absolute cessation of car traffic
while the men were marching left the en-
tire route clear. The Democrats utilized
the occasion by burning a lot of red fire at
their headquarters on Carson street, from
the windows of which they sprinkled the
pedestrians with good Democratic litera-

A HOMESTEAD EDITORIAL
The Official Organ of TIE Advisory Boar
Says That the Strike Is Lost

The Official Organ of TIE Advisory Board
Says That the Strike Is Lost.
Homestead was surprised yesterday by
an editorial in the Local Mews, that has
heretofore been considered the official organ
of the Advisory Board. Among other
things it says:
The Homestead situation to-day is a Pc
culiar one. On one hand the spectacle is
presented of over 900 workmen in the mill,
among whom are about 200 of the former
Homestead employees. AnumDer of skilled
workmen from Braddock, Duquesne, Pitts
burg and other places are among the nom
now live in and about the works, and within
the borough of Homestead. Nobody denies
these facts. If they do they are blind. That
the company has won is admitted by many,
business men and citizens, large num-
bers of mechanics, prominent Amalg-
amated men and certain members
Of the Advisory Board. These ad-
missions are as rule confidential, but none
the less true. On the other hand the specIa-
Gle is presented of between two and three
thousand idle wOrkmen walking the streets
of Homestead, keeping up the expectation
that sooner or later they will win the strike.
The only result the strikers can show is
that they are keeping themselves well in
line, and are causing the steel firm loss and
trouble. The candid observer can come to
the following conclusions only:
First-The Carnegie Steel Company is
gradually succeeding.
Second-The great Homestead strike is
diving out.

Pioneers of Protection.
The Twelfth Ward Club, the next in
order, claimed the honor on their banners
of being the first Protection club formed in
the city. There were no blockades of anv
consequence and the men were halted sell
dom, so that the Colonel Stone Republican
Club, OF Allegheny; more carriages, the
Stanton Club, Of Mansfeld the Mansfield
Marching Club, several squads Of boys, and
the Twenty-frst Ward Club passed in quick
succession.
The first transparency of the parade was
borne by the Twenty-first warders. 1t bore
grandtather's hat in outline, with the Re-
publican ticket on the other side. The
Young Mems Fourteenth Ward Club
stepped up close behind, and then four
horses had all they could do to pull the
ponderous wagon loaded with the shining
lights of the James f. Richards Club.
At the corner of Thirteenth street. where
the parade turned off to Sarah street,
the Richards Club wagon swayed in a most
disconcerting manner for a moment, but
much to everyone's relief nobody was
spilled. The notices on transparencies
came thicker for the next minute or two,
one which bore the inscription: "We
Kept the Democrats Clean Before the
War-We Won't Do 1t Nowr' creating a
good deal of laughter. Other Transparent

have the slightest effect on business, but
am convinced if Cleveland is elected that
things will 60 from bad to worse. Poll

always disturb business more or less. If
Cleveland is elected the chances are the
House and Senate will go Democratic and
that would be very bad for the country. A
dose of tariff reform would ruin trade The

this is the trouble with the iron markets. 1

THEIR BUSINESS STRAIGHT,
But Two Lace Peddlers We're Held for Vic
lating an Ordinance.

But Two Lace Peddlers Were Held for vio-
1ating an Ordinance.
The police were apprised yesterday Of the
action of two men who were visiting the
residences about the East End and selling a
fine quality of lace. Detectives were sent
out to locate them, and at 8 o'clock last
night Detective Robinson arrested them
at the Central Hotel. The men
were taken to Superintendent O'Mara's
Office, and explained their business as ped
dlers. Their names were H. Herman and
Henry Dumont. of New York. They dealt
in lace and sold it in sets of collars and
cuffs at $50 set. They maintained the
legitimacy of their business. and
said that they had two trunks
full of the goods at the
hotel and expected to sell it all before they
left town. So far as could be ascertained
their business was straight, but as they had
failed to take out peddler's license they
were held for violating city ordinances.
K. Smit, the pawnbroker, put up forfeits
of $55 for each OF them for hearing before
Alderman Gripp tomorrow, and they were
released.
