POTTER STEPS OUT.
He is No Longer Superintend-
ent of the Homestead Works.
RELOCATED TO APITTsBURa DESK

Charles NJ. sehwab Succeeds John A.
Potter as Overseer of the Homestead
Piant-UnpopuIarity Given as the
Cause-Loyejoy Says the strikers are
Not to be PIacated.
lBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal
PITTsBURe, Oct. 1S-John A. Potter
is no longer superintendent Of the Home
stead works of the Carnegie Steel com
pany. His connection was severed this
morning.
Mr. Potter has been appointed chief
mechanical engineer Of the Carnegie
company with Offices in Pittsburg. Mr..
Charles NJ Schwab general superintend-
ent Of the Edgar Thomson Steel works
at Braddock, has been appointed general
superintendent of the Homestead works,
and James Gayley has been appointed
superintendent Of the Edgar Thomson
Steel works at Braddock.
The changes came as surprise,
although the removal Of Mr.. Potter from
the Homestead plant has been frequently
limited at. IL is well known that Mr..
Potter was extremely unpopular with the
workmen at Homestead, many OF the old
employees having declared that they
would never. under any circumstances,
return to work under Mr.. Potter's man
agement Now that he has been sue
ceeded by General Manager Schwab, who
is popular official, it is claimed by the
men that the removal Of Mr. Potter Is
the last resort Of the Carnegie company
TO win back the confidence of their old
employees and break the strike.
Secretary Lovejoy, Of the Carnegie
company, said this afternoon that the
changes made today are in the nature Of
merited promotions; that the changes
will not affect the attitude of the com
pany toward the strikers, and that no
thought was taken toward placating the
men.
This mornings papers published the
names OF eleven Homestead strikers who,
Il is said. would return 20 work today.
Up TO noon, however, but two Of the
strikers and three laborers had gone to
work in the mill.

go and about three hundred passengers
on board, went ON the rocks off Ather.
field, Isle of Wright. The passengers
were taken off by the heroic work of
the life saving crews, but it is feared
the ship will be wreck, as she is
fastened on the rock in such manner
as to make it almost impossible to re-
move her, and at last accounts was rap
idly going to pieces. She and her cargo
are fully insured. The ship was worth
100000 and the cargo $4,000.

deadlock was broken by Chief Mana re-

Rowe understands quite well that one

and yanted out one of his eyes and
tossed IL to the Chief with the remark:
Don't put yourself to so much trouble,
old man. Here is an eye for you, and
when you want the other just let me
know"
The action Of Rowe in taking out the
eye was paralyzer on the whole band,
and the chief, who had received the
token, dropped his knife and made a
critical examination Of the optic, others
gathering about him in all eager en-
deavor to get glimpse Of the eye that
could be lifted out in such a manner.

and commented on, some of the remarks
Icing funny in the extreme. Finally
the chief took the eye back to Rowe
and informed him that IL he could put
it back again so 1t could see he would
not modest him further.
With this proposition Rowe gently
lifted the eye in pain sight of all and
replaced it, whereupon he was told to
go his way, the Indians believing that
he was something more than human
being. The eye, however, was glass
