warrants will be issued. Ny under
standing is that information will be made
there before some Alderman or Justice OF
the Peace. He will have deputies sworn
in to make the arrests and they will be
guarded and protected, of course, by the
military. 1 do not anticipate any more
trouble there. The thousands of soldiers
have made such an impression as to the
power of the law that 1 think the lesson
has been sufficient"
A prominent member of the bar said last
night: "Within the next 4S hours between
100 and 200 of the locked out men at Home
stead are to be arrested on charge of muir
der and for melting a riot. This will In
clude all the leaders and in the number are
several upon whom has positive
ly been fastened the crime of killing
Pinkertons Detectives have been among
the men who participated in the riot
and they have the evidence down fine. Be.
sides there were detectives as iron workers
in the mill long before the men were locked
out These men were locked out with the
other employees Hence they have partici-
pated in the councils and know the whole
inside workings of the troubles and subse-
quent bloodshed. All the newspaper men
who witnessed that fight are to be sum-
moned as witnesses.
An attorney connected with the Home
stead case said: 1--WE intend to make
wholesale arrests in Homestead and bring
out the real truth. There is no question
but that the officers were fired on first
The intention for the present is just to
make display of the troops to show the
lockedout men that no foolishness will be
permitted. That was done to-day and done
effectivelv To-morrow it is likely the
arrests will be made and it not then they
will be next day. The charge against
the workers arrested will be murder
and riot We have had detec-
tives among the men, and they have the
names of the locked out men who killed the
Pinkertons 1 think we have complete
list of all the sharpshooters. Some of the
men who did the killing have left town,
and though unknown to them they have
been constantly attended by detectives.
They will be brought in soon after
the arrests are made at Homestead.
AS to Carnegie's watchmen being allowed
to take possession of the works, we now
know that they were literally prisoners in
the works. They were put there by the
leaders and then the word was sent out that
Carnegie was in control of the works. The
watchmen were there simply because the
men wanted it for a purpose. The leaders
of the men are sharp and clear"
Rumors of the intended arrests were
circulated in Homestead last night. The
leaders of the lockedout men are anxious
about the Sheriff's intentions 1t was also
said there that early this morning a move
ment will be made toward manning the
mill. Ex-Secretary Childs and Manager
Potter had a long conference with the
Sheriff yesterday afternoon, but neither of
the three would say anything about the rea-
SON OF the result of their deliberations It
was intimated, however, that vigorous
course of action had been determined upon.
An attempt was made to see Hugh O'Don-
nell last night, but he refused to talk. He
said be was exhausted and was going to bed.

'In the evening he came around again
and we had some words. started to my
home in Esplen. 1t is across the bridge
from McKee's Rocks. Corners also lives
in Esplen. As started Conners kicked me
and started to run. followed him.
We met on the bridge and had scuffle. It
was there that stabbed him. I did not in
tend to kill him, but he had worked me up
to such frenzy that I did not know what I
was doing"
ChiId's Voice Through the Bars
All these facts were passed out from be-
hind the iron bars, and the voice that bore
them sounded like that of a child who was
telling of its wrongs to mother. The voice
was sweet and low, and seemed to penetrate
to the heart. Of the dozen people who
stood in the corridor of the lookup
and listened to Davies sad, sweet
voice, not one had dry eye.
Squire Bryan remarked, as he wiped tear
from his eye: II was clerk In the Criminal
Court for seven years, but 1 never saw q
scene like have witnessed tonight"
Around the Squire stood sturdy mill
workers, who perhaps had not wept
since youth, with tears streaming down
bronzed cheeks.
Davies story is made doubly sad because
of his condition. He is an orphan. Long
ago his father and mother died, and since
that time he has lived as the adopted son of
his uncle, William Hughes Never since he
has been old enough to know has he felt
mothers kind caress or a fathers guiding
hand. He is slenderly built boy, with
thin, pale, sweet face and large black eyes.
The Boy Murderer Was Popular.
During his life in Esplin and CHARTERS
no one has ever found fault with him.
Everyone looked on him with pity and the
thought of boy with SO girlish a face as
his committing murder, would have been
the last to have entered ones mind.
When Conners was stabbed he started to
run for doctor, holding his hand over the
wound. He was only able to reach a con-
fectionery store half block distant, when
he was overcome from the loss of blood.
Some men carried him into the store and
Drs. j. w. Onstott and G. W. Beam were
summoned. Conners was dead before they
arrived, death occurring in eight minutes
after he was stabbed. The body was
removed to the undertaker's 1t was then
found that the knife had penetrated Just
above the breastbone on the left side, cut
ting an artery. The cut was only
an inch in length. Had the thrust
been made half an inch lower
the result would not have been so serious
Conners was employed at the steel works
of Anderson, Dupuy & Co. He lived with
his father in Esplin.
l IThe knife with hch the murder
was committed is now in the
possession of Squire Bryan. 1t is
an ordinary jackknife of two
blades. The cutting was done with the
larger one. which is about three inches in
length. It is still covered with blood.
The Coroner was not notified of the murder
last night.

200 LIVES SWEPT AWAY.

Two Alpine Resorts Overwhelmed by 9
Landslide Caused by q storm-The Vic
Tins Face Their Doom at O'clock in
the Morning.
rBY CABLE TO THE pIsPArcn]
PARIS, July IL Copyrtght IA terrific
storm swept over the Chamounix and Arve
Valleys in Switzerland last night. Rain
fell in torrents, and the enormous quantity
of water precipitated caused the River Arve
to rise suddenly to great height The
swelling of the mountain stream led to the
inundation of the country along the banks,
and great damage was done at many places.
The worst disaster was at st. Gervais, the
famous health resort. The village was
practically swept away by a landslide
caused by the storm, and it is reported that
200 residents and visitors were drowned
or buried under the landslide. The cele-
brated baths were destroyed, and
at least half the buildings in the
place were demolished. The Arve is full of
floating debris, mingled with which are
many corpses Of men, women and children,
beside hundreds Of carcasses of cattle, goats
and other animals. The disaster occurred
at o'clock in the morning, when nearly all
The Bionassy glaciers, which extend from
the northwest side of Mont Blanc, became
detached and swept down the side of the
mountain, carrying the baths and the ham,
let of LIE Fayet into the river. There was
no possible chance for the people to get
out of the way of the tremendous, mass of
earth, rock and ice, and great number
whose lives were not crushed out beneath
the falling debris of their houses were
swept into the river and drowned. Over
$50 bodies have been recovered from the
Arve and from the ruins of houses
Many of the victims were awakened by
the sound of the descending avalanche of
matter, but 1t was too late for them to
escape. It is believed that not single
person in the line of the descending glaciers
and the debris they carried along with them
escaped with his lite. Many visitors were
at the place and large number of them are
among the victims.
The inmates of the bath houses were
awakened about 2:15 A. M. by the sound of
rushing waters and loud, crashing noise.
Before they were able to leave the buildings
the torrent, filed with the debris of the vii
lage and large masses of ice, crashed against
the bath houses. Three of the buildings
were entirely destroyed and another one
partially, while the fifth building sustained
no damage, being situated upon q higher
elevation. It is believed that IS persons
perished at the baths alone, and at least 30
of the inhabitants of LIE Fayet were
drowned.

STRAGGLERS 60 THROUGH.

The Last of the State Militia al Homestead
Captain Adams and j. W. Greenland
Among the Number-what Ono Man
Thinks.
All day Yesterday struggling soldiers
wandered into Union station and were sent
out to Homestead. They were either men
who could not get here Monday or members
of the Guard were tried to shirk duty
and were captured The men represented
the Eighteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and
Sixteenth.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Clarence A.
Adams, of Franklin, a member of General
Wylie's staff, and ]. w. Greenland, of
Clarion, brother Of the Adiutant General
were in the city, and went up to Home
stead on the 1920 train. Mr.. Greenland is
not a member Of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania, but goes to Homestead to
do his brothers clerical work. Captain
Adams thinks that this will be the only
outing the militia will get this year. As
to how long the troops would be kept at
Homestead, he did not know. He is of the
opinion, however, that the men will be
fused to express his opinion as to. what
turn affairs would take at Homestead after
the troops were sent home.
A Lieutenant in the Sixteenth Regi-
ment was at the Union station
yesterday afternoon. He said: SIT
is our duty to 60 20 Homestead,
but majority of the men do not like to 60.
In great part we are working people and
hold cards in different unions By going
there We have to go directly against our
principles, and if the worst should come
we would have to combat with the
men with whom our sympathy is.
Then there is another feature to this ques-
tion. Every day we are kept at Home
stead the taxpayers have to pay the bill.
The chances are we may be held up there
for a month. If we are. q howl will 60 up
from the taxpayers of Pennsylvania
Several of the city detectives and Q
number of policemen were kept on duty at
the Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore
and Ohio depots yesterday. No arrests
were made, however. At the Baltimore and
Ohio the crowd was small. as none of the
stragglers were sent out over that road.
His honor, the Mayor, solved nice point
of law Monday. A solder got drunk and
was arrested. One of the sergeants found
him in the lookup. Could the civil au-
thorities be made to give up this prisoner
to serve the State as a soldier? Mayor
Gourley cut the knot by discharging the
man, and he went out with his regiment
