But His Deserted Wife Refuses to Rclent
and He ID Sent to Jail.
Lloyd Woodmuncy, the young man who
created q sensation on Fifth avenue on
Thursday night last by making desperate
attempt to escape from Constable Groetz-
niger, was given hearing yesterday after
noon before Magistrate Gripp. Two days
in the Jail had made the prisoner meek and
mild hammered. He was penitent to the
last degree and was willing to make any
concessions in his power, but the wife he
had deserted was inexorable and refused
to listen to the pleadings of her truant hus-
band.
When Magistrate Gripp informed Wool
muncy that he would commit him for trial
at court on the charge of desertion the pris-
oner broke down completely, and amid sobs
and tears begged not to be sent to Jail or he
would die there. Finding that tears and
pleading were in vain the man adopted an
other course and pretended to be deathlt
sick.
Warden McAleese, who is not without
sympathy, undertook to cure Mr.. Wood
muncy, and when that individual was
shown the dose he was to take he became a
well man very sud denly and was satisfied
to retire to his cell without taking any
medicine.

FOUGHT WITH A BURGLAR.

Two Midnight Marauders Enter and Rob .
store-They Awaken tho Inmates of the
Building, and an Exciting Struggle
Ensues,
The boldest burglary of recent date was
committed out Penn avenue shortly after
2:30 o'clock yesterday morning. About
that hour thieves entered the Wholesale and
retail grocery store of II. G. Russell
& Bro, No 2737 Penn avenue. They
gained admittance by breaking open the
cellar door on the outside aud passing
through passageway forced the
back door open. They went at
once to the money drawer, which
they opened and robbed of its contents.
Mr.. Harry Russell and his brother, mem
bers of the firm, were sleeping in tine rear
of the store. Harry was awakened by the
noise and at once began an investigation.
He lighted lamp, but in passing out of the
door it was dashed from his hand and ex-
tinguished. Mr.. Russell grappled with his
unseen foe and soon the two men were roll
ing about the store floor. The noise of the
struggle awakened the younger brother
He rushed to the assistance of his partner
andsoon they had one of the thieves under
control.
He proved to be colored man of muscu-
lar build and had the appearance of .
desperate character. All of the doors
were securely locked and Harry
Russell went to the front door to call the
police. No sooner had he released his hold
than the burglar broke away from the other
brother and made dash for the rear of the
store. Young Russell followed and
caught him just rs he was in
the act of breaking down the
door. Another struggle took place, in
which the young mans clothes W ere nearly
torn from his body. Before the elder Rus
sell arrived the man had broken away and

b. G. Frick was at work again yesterday.
1t being Saturday he returned home about
noon. The Chairman will be in the saddle
from this time out, and it won't be neces-
sary to say anything more about his
physical condition. Secretary Lovejoy
spent the greater part of the
day in court. Mr.. Bremen had
subpenaed him to testify in the Burke
habeas corpus proceedings. He said he was
the prosecutor, and he couldn't see what
the defendants wanted with him. Mr.
Lovejoy, however, was not called, as the
Judge did not give Mr. Bremen an oppor-
tunity to present any evidence, and Burke
was released on bail, anyhow, which was all
he asked for.
The company will make some more in
formations, probably tomorrow. Phil
Knox said they were busy collecting testi-
mony, but he had no desire to show his
hand until the arrests had been made. The
situation with the company is unchanged
Verv few men were sent to Homestead,
and the firm is giving Superintendent
Potter chance to find out
what the new men can do best This will
take some time. Secretary Lovejoy said
the report from the Thirty-third street mill
was satisfactory. The Duquesne plant with
600 of the old men will be started tomorrow.

QUIET AT DUQUEsNE.

Released Prisoners Greeted by Friends
Bearing American FIsgs.
Quite a surprise was created yesterday
morning at Duquesne when the mechanical
force and 6 large number of laborers re.
turned to work in the Duquesne Steel
Works No trouble occurred and no effort
was made to stop them from going in the
mill The works will probably be started
Monday, majority of the old employees
going back. =.
The town has been quiet all day, and the
only excitement was the return of nine of
the men arrested yesterday, having been
released on bail. A large number of their
friends met them at the station and escorted
them home, each carrying small American
flag.
The feeling among the men is that the
strike has been broken and no trouble will
occur. A general feeling of confidence pre-
walls among the business men. The COM
pany is erecting two rows of dwelling
houses inside the mill yard, which will be
used in case of more trouble.

PAYING FOR THE FARM.
Captain Neeld Gets His Money From the
City of Pittsburg.

Captain NeeId Gets His Money From the
City OF Pittsburg.
Chief Elliot, of the Department Of Chari-
ties, yesterday morning completed survey
of the farm recently purchased from Cap
tain George Neeld for Poor Farm purposes
It was found that the farm contains 246. 70
acres. The contract for the purchase Of
the farm was closed and S61, ,6S7 30, the
amount due Captain Neeld on the purchase,
was paid him by warrant issued by Con-
troller Morrow.
After the money had been paid to Cap
tain Neeld Chief Elliot said:
Controller, there had been so many in
sinrations or crookedness, so much newspa-
per comment, regarding the selection OF a
new city Poor Farm, that desire here on
this occasion to make affidavit before you,
that SO far as I am concerned I have not
been, nor do know OF anybody else who
has been interested In any way in the pur-
chase of this farm; nor do l know of any
benefit arising from the purchase OF the
same to anybody in any way except to MIR.
Neeld, the seller.
Controller Morrow said 1t was unneces-
sary ter the Chief to make such an affidavit.
"If was not satisfied that the purchase
was straight I would soon tell you," the
Controller said,

nearly resulted in his being refused. He
told Judge Ewing that he owned q valuable
piece of property on Diamond street, but
upon being questioned about it, admitted
that he only had a half interest in it.
Judge Ewing censured him for not telling
this at first, and then allowed him to put
his name to the bail bond.
Jacob Stinnert, the man arrested with
Burke, but against whom no evidence was
produced, was released on his own re-
cognizance, the Commonwealth having
agreed to this proceeding.
Fred Primer, one of the Pinkerton men,
who had been held FOR court by Alderman
King, was also released without opposition
from the Commonwealth.

NO MORE NON-UNI0N MEN.

Recruits for the Upper Union Mill Are
Becoming Scarce.
There was little if anything new in the
situation at the Upper Union Mill yester-
day. The firm seemed unable to obtain any
new recruits, but the Amalgamated Asso-
citation were equally unfortunate in secur-
ing additions to their ranks, for while no
more workmen entered the mill none de-
serted. The locked-out men continue to
perform guard duty, and nothing of import
ance escaped their notice.
The men begin to think that the firm have
run up against stump in trying to operate
the mill with non-union men. They are
now patiently waiting for the next move
on the part of the management.

MR Cox AT UNIONT0WN.

Charges of Riot and Conspiracy to Depress
Wages VIII p Made This Week.
Attorney John F. Cox, for the men,
laughed at the story yesterday that he had
been at Harrisburg to consult with the At
torney General about the Homestead trouble.
He was in Uniontown on Friday filing his
report as executor of an estate, and
his visit had nothing to do with the
riot. Mr. Cox says the charge of conspir-
acy TO depress wages will be made against
the iron firm early this week. At the same
time informations for riot and melting riot
will be filed against the Carnegies and the
Pinkertons

The usual trips of the Tide were unevent-

both passengers and freight. The day ac-
counted for this, as the weeks work practi-
cally ended at noon. The wharf
was well policed. No one was allowed
to loiter about the river, and, as conse-
quence, it presented deserted appearance.
The Tide made trip at 8 o'clock and an
other one at 8 in the evening.
