MAY GET OUT TO-DAY.
Believed That O'Donnen Was Kept in
Jail to Avert Trouble.


P1TTsBURG, July 25. The action of
Judge Magee in Withholding his decision
in the application for bail for Hugh
O'Donnell, and in keeping the strike leader
in Jail over Sunday was very likely a wise
move.
There is little doubt that O'Donnell
will be released, but the officials believing
that if he was liberated on Saturday
evening when the case closed and the
workmen at Homestead should carry
out their programme of his reception,
while the excitement over the attempted
assassination of Mr.. Prick was yet so in
tense, an encounter between the work
men and the militia would surely occur.
O'Donnell was seen in Jail to-day by a
reporter. He expressed the greatest re-
greet for the shooting of Mr. Prick, and
said that he hoped his wounds would not
prove serious.
When told that the news of the shoot
ing had been received by some of the
workmen at Homestead with undisguised
expressions of approval, Mr.. C'Donnell
said: My God, is it possible that any
one can rejoice over such terrible deed
rs this"

INC Tinkerinr CranIE.

There is great deal of truth in what
the Manufacturers Gazette says about
some men who never seem TO be happy
and contented unless they are tinker
ing. They are always watching for a
chance to use a monkey wrench or ham
mer, and not only waste valuable time,
but do more toward spelling the ma
chinery in their charge than years of
constant wear will ever do. II a ma
chine is out of order, or there is some
part that needs Tightening up or re-
pairing, the tinker takes his monkey
wrench and screwdriver and goes at it,
regardless Of where or what the trouble
is. He spends an hour or two twisting
and turning nuts and bolts, and when
he gets tired of this amusement con-
cludes that everything is all right and
starts up the machine, only to find that
he has not improved it any by tinker
ing. Then he goes at it again. Such
men are not profitable workmen. The
competent and experienced man never
thinkers. If the machinery needs fixing
he does not go about 1t in haphazard
manner, but looks it over carefully un-
til he locates the trouble, and then does
what is needed, without making bad
matter worse by acting upon the sup
position that because one part is out of
order the whole machine needs tinker

A BOX containing ten thousand dol
lars was found near Payne, Ind, a day
or two ago. A severe storm had passed
over this section and uprooted a num-
Der of trees. Three young men, while
examining the hole made by the uproot-
ing of a large oak tree, noticed the cor
ner of a box protruding from the earth,
and on opening it found, besides the
above value in money, many rare coins
of foreign make.

Devlin Admits the How With Oates.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Mr. Devlin, of
the Executive Committee K. of L., who
accused Chairman Oates, of the Com
mittee Investigating the Homestead
trouble, of favoring the Pinkertons in the
investigation, was seen by a reporter at
the National Hotel. He admitted that he
made the charge as alleged and also that
MIR. Oates called him a liar, but denied
that blows were exchanged or that he was
elected from the House.

The Literary Market,

Various fates await manuscripts sub
mitted for publication in the periodicals.
One famous juvenile weekly, according
to a New York authority, not only re-
jects articles, but destroys q large per-
centage of what it accepts and pays for.
One monthly magazine sent back in "a
lump nearly two years supply of man
uscripts that had been accepted. A
literary man, whose articles fetch the
highest rates easily, complains that
they are held sometimes as long Us six
years after having been accepted. A
man who furnished an article on the
negro question to a religious periodical
eight years ago was astonished recently
to see it in print with his signature.
He had somewhat revised his views
since writing the article. An article by
famous English scientific man was &c
copied by an American publication, but
1t was so little suited to popular taste
that the editor put it in pamphlet form
and sent it only to persons in the United
States who might be interested in the
subject They numbered exactly five.

He was told to spit it ont He refused.
The tablespoon was again brought into
play and after some difficulty dynamite
cartridge, similar to the one found in his
vest pocket, was taken from beneath his
tongue. It was at once submitted to
Arthur Kirk, an expert on explosives,
who pronounced it the identical kind of q
bomb cartridge used by Louis Lingg, the
Chicago Anarchist when he committed
suicide in the county Jail while awaiting
execution for completely in the Haymarket
massacre.
1t contained enough dynamite, he said,
not only to blow the man exploding it to
pieces, but to kill or MAIN those in his
immediate vicinity, and it was supposed
to explode from the prick of pin or the
bite of a tooth.
Some imperfection in its manufacture,
however, had made it of no effect.
After this report had been received, it
was remembered that the elevator man in
the Carnegie building had noticed the
prisoner nervously moving his teeth after
the tragedy and that he was also noticed
to be grinding his molars after being
brought to the Central Station.
From this it appeared to be clearly evil
dent that it was the prisoners intention
after killing or manning his victim to
blow his own head off and he was only
prevented by defect in the cartridge
from carrying out this design.
He was given suit of prison clothes in
place of his own garments and shortly
afterwards was identified by the night
clerk of the Merchants Hotel as having
stopped at that place under the name of
Simon Backman. The straw hat which
he wore bore the label of Marquellis, No.

Gilroy for MAYOR.

The nomination By the Democratic party
Of Thomas f.. GuHor for Mayor Of New
York created some surprise In that city, as
1t was not generally known that he was an
aspirant for the place. He has been an
osice-holder for twenty EIGHT years and Is
one Of Tammauy's big four" At present
he is commissioner Of plblic works.
After Mr.. CaexER he Is the most influential
man in the Tammany organization. and 1t
IL conceded on oil hands that he has
clean record and is o man OF force
and ability. He Is also a straightout, tho
roagh-paced Democrat.
He was born in Ireland in 1910. came TO
this country when he was years old, was
educated in the schools Of New York, and
began life as a printer.
All that his opponents can say against
him is that he is "Tammany man" but
on election.day he could not wish better
endorsement. and when he becomes Mayor
IL cannot be doubted that he will discharge
his duties ably and faithfully.
The Republicans have nominated against

Viroinians Be on Your Guard.

The Republicans evidently have designs
upon Virginia. This appears from utter
ances of members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee; from visits TO Wash
ington and New York made by MALONE +;
from mandates from National Republican
headquarters intended 70 bring the party
INTO line In the Second and Fourth Dis
tricts. and by declarations made to various
newspaper correspondents by LASGsToN
and Others.
II il probable that the Republicans
have turned to Virginia in the hope OF
picking up two or three congressman
rather than of getting our electoral vote
but they will grab at anything that comes
along. They no doubt think that they
have dallied with the Weaverites in Viz
GINA long enough, and that now. having
divided the Democrats-as they foolishly
imagine-they can step in and seize the
victory for themselves.
1t is only possible for them to do any
thing of this kind by the over-confdence
of the Democrats. Victory is within our
grasp. We have only to seize it. So we
tell our friends to be on their guard and to
go to work.
Take nothing for granted except that
you will find your old enemy at the polls
on November 9Th. 1t is true that many
Republicans have already parted from
MALONE. and it is certain that others will
do so on election-dsy. but we must trust
not to luck. but to our own vigilance and
activity. Hence we say ORGANIZE. be on
your guard, bring out your voters to re-
gster and vote, and convert the present
promise of victory into q glorious surety.

General Sickles.

When we first saw the announcement
that General SIcELEs had been nominated
for Congress by the Democrats of New
York we were much surprised. But we
soon arrived at the conclusion that the
Tammany Democrats knew better what
they were doing than we did. and had
good reasons for nominating him. They
knew that he had not misbehaved as be
had been charged with having done. We
are glad that the General has not been
reduced to the ranks" and that there is
no good reason Tor making him high
private"
A point has. however, been made against
General SIcKLEs that he cannot accept q
seat in the House without vacating his
place upon the retired list of the army. If
this be true he will hardly care to accept
the nomination, because it would involve
great pecuniary sacrifice.

Columbus and Our Exposition

Norfolk will have a big COLUMBUS cele-
bration tomorrow. The men who have
the movement in charge and the pro-
gramme that they have adopted indicate
that 1t will be creditable and successful.
So far as parading is concerned Rich

had her day, but we expect our folks,
big and little, to take holiday to-mor-
row and go to the Exposition. There,
while having good time. they will be dis
posed to praise COLUMBUS for discovering
America and opening up homes for SO
many happy and enlightened people.
The Richmond man or woman who has
not been to the Exposition should be
ashamed to admit it, unless hindered from
30 doing by illness. pinching poverty. or
other equally potential reason. 1t is our
duty to sustain the Exposition, because it
is worthy OF support and because 1t is our
enterprise. True. il Is not exactly the Ex-
position that We would have had had not

The time thus lost was necessary to make
the Exposition complete and could not be
regained. Had not President BUroRp and
ms associates been men of wonderful
pluck they would have abandoned their
enterprise then and there. But no; they
saw that public confidence would soon be
restored. and that the people would then
turn joyfully from cholera bulletins TO ex-

Mr.. Reid's Letter of Acceptance.

Mr.. BLArST's speech to Mr.. WHIrELAw
Rms neighbors was perhaps the worst be
ever made; yet IL was better than Dir.
RIMS letter accepting the Republican
nomination for vice-President of the
United States. Mr.. RErD's letter reflects
no credit upon the editorial profession to
which he claims 10 belong. II reads
as il il had been written by an editor. but
not by one who was ft TO DO named and
recognized as the editor-in-chief OF the
New York Tribune. From GREELEY to
REID! "what o fall was there. my coun-
trymen."
Mr.. RIMS Introductory paragraph was
doubtless intended as an attack upon Mr.
CLEVELAND. Mr.. RxIp evidently regards
Mr.. CLEVELAND as better than his party
too good man. in fact. to be running as
Democratic nominee for President OF the
United States-and 40 begins his letter by
attempting to convince ITS readers that
Mr.. CLEVELAND oon'i be any better thar his
party. 1t is amusing to find Mr. REID
saving in effect that it would be dishonor-
able in Mr.. CLEVELAND to be better than
his party.
Mr.. RIMS tariff arguments do not
amount TO much. Editor-like. he quotes
from the papefs-the London Times Is one
a shem-to sustain his contention rs to
protection. He says nothing new, how
ever, on the subject of the tariff. HIS
arguments. if arguments they may be
called, may safely be left to be disposed OF
by the voters.
Mr.. REID declines 10 waste his strength
rupon the force bill" the alleged force
bill" he styles it. This refusal either to
endorse or to denounce the alleged force
billn is significant. 1t tells Us in language
that cannot be mistaken that even the
northern people are opposed to that bill.
Tammany denounced that bill the day MIR.
RKrp's letter appeared. Let the issue be
joined: mo force bill. No negro domi-
nation" Where are the advocates of the
force bill? Here let us remark that MIR.
REID was absurdly inconsistent in declar-
ang that il would be dishonorsble in Mr..
CLEVELAND not TO stand upon the platform
of his party. at the same time that he (Mr.
REID stepped off the foroe-bill plank OF
The platform of his party.
Mr.. REID charges that the Democrats
demand that the national bank-currency
shall DO broken down by repeal of the
State bank currency tax; but we predict
that the Democrats will not allow MIR.
REID to speak for them on that subject.
But enough. Mr.. REID will drop into
oblivion on the 9Th of next month.
