made by Lovejoy, of the Carnegie COM
pany. Constables left at once for Home
stead. and are now looking tor the men.
The news created much excitement among
the strikers, as this action was not ex-
pected.
The attorney for the strikers said tonight
that no information would be made against
Frick, Lovejoy and Potter now, and it is
possible that no retaliatory measures will
be taken by the strikers. If it was de-
cided to take such action the charge
would probably be conspiracy. From
a source close to Carnegie it
was learned that the firm has the
names of 2l5 strikers against whom they
believe they have enough evidence to con-
vict as accessories of the murder of the
Pinkerton men. 1t is their intention to
enter informations every day until the en-
tire 2l5 have been arrested. The sheriff s
officers failed this afternoon to find those
for whom the warrants were issued,
but this evening all of the ac-
cused except O'Donnell, who Is
out of the state, and McLuckie,
who had already given himself up at Pitts
burg, assembled at the railway station in
Homestead. intending, unaccompanied by
officers, to voluntarily proceed to Pitts
burg to face the charges against them.
O'Donnelfs wife says the report that he
has lett town to avoid arrest is untrue and
that he will be back in a few days.
Gossip about this latest move on the
part OF the company was very free this
evening. Many sympathizers with the
men think it a shrewd move to get the
leaders in the strike out of the way at the
time when the company expects to begin
operations. A rumor is current tonight
that counter informations will be laid
against Messrs. Frick and Lovejoy and
Manager Potter. The general impression
legal struggle here.
New YORK, July 1s.-A report is current
that Hugh O'Donnell, of the Homestead
workmen, is here for the purpose of get
ting the Republican national executive
committee to take some action in the mat
ter. The members of the committee seen
declared they had heard nothing to such
an effect. 1t was pointed out that O'Don-
nell is Democrat, and not likely to ap-
peal to the Republicans. Samuel Gompers,
president of Federated labor, said he had
been informed that O'Donnell was coming
to see him.
Hugh O'Donnell, leader of the HOMESTEAD
strikers, who saved the lives OF the imprisoned
Pinkertons on the day OF the battle and is now
charged with murder, is not man who would
attract attention rs being any more than the ay.

slender build. He probably does not weigh 15C
pounds. He has an intelligent face and, like
most OF the native-born mill men, is a good
talker aud can argue sensibly. He has black

not add any gentleness to his personal
appearance. He has heavy flowing, black
mustache and heavy eyebrows. His features

and at times inclined to be fierce looking. He
