DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT,
An Attempt to Flow Up the Carnegie Mil
in Pittxburg


The Pittsburg police are keeping a strict
lookout for anarchists. Inspector McKelvey who
is acting superintendent of police. has been es-
pccitly visilant and the hauuts Of the anarh-
lists are being watched day and night.
At O'Clock yesterday afternoon two annrch-
lists called at the police station to see Bauer
They were arrested and gave the names of Carl
Finster and August Tirnopk, both OF Allegheny.
There was nothing found upon their persons.
1t was learned yesterday afternoon that an
attempt was made to blow up Carnegie's lower
union mills in rttsburg. During the tenn
porary absence of the engineers some one
turned on the gas in the furnaces. 1t was only
discovered by the merest accident and the gas
was turned of before there was en- explosion.
At the time there were IA men in the furnace
department and many lives would have been
lost. The Iniscreant is not known.
knold, when questioned by Inspector Nickel
yey admitted receiving letters from Herr Most.
He said that Most's instructions were very
pointed. and that he had issued strict orders to
destroy all letters written by him. This il the
reason the police have been unable to got much
evidence against any of the men. They have
Lot the scratch of pen from each other Many
OF them had circulars and anarchistie literature,
but nothing to commit any one. Knold is the
only one of the lot who is at all communicative
bio TO the police. Bergman and Bauer are ex-
ceedingly elose-mouthed and they will not say
anything and seem determined to puzzle the
police rs much as possible. and do not care what
is done with them.
Bergman will not accept the services of any
lawyer u,less the lawyer promises to conduct
the case be wants it conducted.
Among the letters found in Bauer's posses
sion whom arrested were several from Lucy
Pnrsons, Herr Most, Nina Van Zandt spies and
Otto Hermann Of Philadelphia Hormann's
letter is most remarkable. He bewails the death
Of anarchists, aud says while years ago there
were 5000 anarchists not more than 5000 can
now DO found The letter commences:
II have never seen any courage but once and
that was whom we threw the bomb in Chicago.
l would like to laugh-for the man who threw
the bomb is not known-for We find nothing.
Several bold men were torn from our midst and
the rest are silenced.'
Anarchists do not approve OF the attitude Of
the Homestead men toward their efforts to aid
In the contest here. The summary way in
which three Of the ''X. Y. L." fraternity were
fred out of Homestead a week ago and then
the denunciation by the advisory committee
and Hugh ODonnell of the shooting Of II. C.
Frlck have given much displeasure and much
disappointment to the .'reds." As a result Mr.
ODonneli has received q number Of letters
from New York and Chicago anarchists, who,
under nom de plumes, severely censure both
him and the Homestead steel workers for their
eallousness and ingratitude. One letter reads:
"fou little deserve our aid, but humanity de-
nii:nds that We help you in spite Of yourselves.
You may not be blind always"
Thirty-six informations were made Yesterday
by Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie Company
against participants in the Homestead riot Of
July D. charging them with aggravated riot.
Sylvester Critchlow, whose name was among
the first batch charged with murder, surrcn-
dered yesterday and was locked up.
In regard TO the work,nen's petition for arbi
tration, as provided b. the act of 1883, Mr..
Lovejoy says the company will not sign any
pe.,'ion Tor tae establishment of q conference.
There viii be 40 deviation from their ultima

sPondenis hoped to accomplish through media
