|O'DONNELL HAS GONE.
THE EOSS STRIKER LEAVES
HOMESTEAD SUDDENLY.
Kon-Union Men No Longer Questioned
The Remaining Soldiers Will Prob
ably Leave tho Scene Some limo
Next Week.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 30.-Hugh
O'Donnell has left Homestead quietly
and is probably on his way east again.
Mrs. O'Donnell was quite nervous yes
terday and said, when asked, that
her husband was going away on private
business. 1t is not understood here
that the labor leader has any particu-
lar mission East unless it be to further
his political schemes. He had no COM
mission from the Amalgamated associa-
ton or the advisory committee, SO far
as could be learned.
The members of the advisory COM
mittce have little to say concerning
the rosy reports of mill work, except
that it is very easy to impose upon a
person not acquainted with the sub
jcct. A fact which is being brought to
the notice of the committee by many
of the earnest fighters is the increasing
number of absent workmen.
At the beginning of the fight reso-
luton was adopted that any man who
left Homestead without leave would
not be allowed to work in the mill
after the fight was over. For three
weeks after June 80 very few people
left town. and they all were excused,
yet during the last week hundreds have
gone away and as a result watchful-
ness has been most decidedly impaired.
A week ago not u stranger entered
the mill but was not noted. Yester-
day $50 went in and few knew of it I'M
til informed by the papers. This morn
ing two strangers with valises got off
the train at Homestead and inquired
the way to the steel works. Some
townsmcn told them, but no one asked
why they wanted TO go to the plant.
This could not have happened last
week. The militia is largely RESPONSE
BILE for this seeming apathy,as the men
have come to recognize that so long as
men remain in the works it is impossi-
BILE to argue with them and induce
them to leave. So no necessity exists
for such vigilance MS before.
Camp Black was looking rather drcary
yesterday. Several regiments have
gone and others are breaking camp
Maj-Gen. Snowden and staff leave this
afternoon. In an interview the com

is deplorable indeed that con
dition exists which necessitates the
calling out of the State militia every
two or three years to suppress troubles
arising out of wage disputes. Some
other means of settling these troubles
should be arrived at"
The impression is prevalent among
the soldiers who are to remain that
they will not be kept longer than the
end of next week. They expect set

Tho Unity OF Typcwriters

Is now so generally recognized, that the bus
ness of making and selling them has rapidly
become a profitable one. OF course such 0
state of affairs tempts many to try to secure
portion of the profits, rightfuily belonging
to the original inventors and their successors,
Old IDEAS which have been tested and re.
jected years ago, are rcfurbishcd and trotted
out to do duty as --latest improved, ~
etc. Th apparent indifference of the Rem.
ington typewriter people, who control the
leading fundamental patents, has encouraged
nfringers to boldly make use Of the Reming-
ton patents.
The near approach of day of reckoning is
now foreshadowed By the granting Of an in
junction in New York against the selling
agent of one of the small fry typewriter con-
Germs. 1t is reported that other suits will
speedily be brought against other machines.
An injunction-a very unusual proceeding in
mercantile cases-has been allowed, and the
agent of the Franklin has been compelled to
stop business in the Franklin machines en-
tircly After the manner of culprits, the of
Tenders Immediately tried TO break the force
OF the matter by explaining that the patent on
which they had infringed had but a few
months to run, etc, etc. The injunction
stands nevertheless, and the Remington Co.'S
attorneys are understood TO have plenty Of
similar cases against this and other machines
which are TO be brought 10 judgment very

1890 o'clock yesterday when they
robbed the Bank of FL Reno of SIC, 900.
The president of the bank, S. w. Saw
yer, was absent in Oklahoma City,
and there was no one in the bank
save Mrs. Sawyer, who is the
cashier. A stranger stepped up to the
cashiers window, made an inquiry
about some town lots and then went
to desk and began writing. Suddenly
another man entered the bank, and,
stepping up to Mrs. Sawyer, presented
a revolver at her head, at the same time
requesting that she turn over all the
money in the vault.
Mrs. Sawyer was so paralyzed with
fright that she did not move until the
robber recalled her to her senses by in
timating that unless she act quickly he
would blow her head off She there
upon entered the vault and took from
the safe all the money it contained,
This, together with what was in the
daily cash draw, she pushed over the
counter. The man who was writing
ut the desk turned quickly, seized the
money as Mrs. Sawyer handed it
through the wicket and darted out of
the door. He was speedily followed by
the man with the revolver. As soon as
the danger was past Mrs. Sawyer
screamed and swooned away.
Outside the robbers mounted horses
they had left standing near the door,
and rode out Rock Island avenue at a
rapid pace. Neither wore masks.
Their haul approximated S1O,5OO, less
than 500 of which was in silver.
When Mr. Sawyer returned from okla
homa City half an hour later he found
the bank full of people who had been
attracted by the news of the daring
robbery. From his wife, who had re-
covered consciousness, he learned the
story of the hold-up

A WONDER OF SCIENCE,

Electricity In a Surgical Operation u Sue
One OF the most delicate surgical
operations ever performed in San
francisco was that to which NJ Baehm,
patient at the city and county hos
pital. was subjected recently. The
operation was remarkable in that an
endoscop". or small electric light, was
used during tho process. This was
thrust into the thoracic cavity and
by its illumination the action of the
heart and lungs was plainly visible.
This is the first case reported on the
Pacific coast where the electric endo.
scope was used in difficult surgery
