A Young Man Cleared of Foul Charge
odd Watch Affair
In Special Sessions before Judges LIP
pincott and Kenny this morning, John Nc
Cam. a youngsman. was placed on trial on
an indictment charging him with assault
upon Mrs. Ann Reilley of No. 331 New
ark avenue, on the evening of June8. Sew
eral witnesses proved an alibi for the
young man and the Prosecutor asked
the july to acQuit him.
Cornelius Hayes, alleged to be a New
York crook, was tried ON an Indictment
charging him with the larceny of a gold
watch, valued at S140, from Gottleib
Pfeifer, on June T. It was alleged that
Hayes and another young man living
in New York enticed Pfeiffer iuto
saloon, got him drunk and
stole the watch from his pocket
Pfeiffer testified that the watch had been
shown him by a lawyer. Prosecutor
Winfield was very anxious to know who
the lawyer was. and Thomas
l. Rowe, who was defending
Pfeiffer, stated that the lawyer
was John A. Deunin, and that he (Rowe)
recovered in pawnbroker's shop in New
York. There was no direct testi-
monv to show that Hayes had
taken the watch and several
witnesses testified to his good character.
Yet owing to an able summing up by the
Prosecutor who stated that the facts in
the case were being suppressed the jury
brought in verdict of guilty.
William Murphy was convictet of
stealing horse valned at $75 from Virgil
c. Scabes. of No. 23l St. Pauls avenue.

In the absence of City Hall Commits
sioner Datz, Commissioners Pearson and
Burke this morning heard Architect
Kreitler, who presented the Roman
esquen drawing, explain his plans
Mr. kreitler's building is a handsome
one. The arrangement of offices is
such as is desired. He can construct
his building for S245 09O. Mr.. Kreiter
laid great stress upon the Importance of
the piltng work. He estimates that
2, 400 piles will be necessary to make the
foundation safe. The building, as pro.
posed by him, would lie granite to the
first story and brown stone above. The
building is square and has provision for
tower on each corner and dome
in the centre. The arrangement
for light and ventilation is perfect.
Architect L. H. Broome, who submit
ted the 20. j, c." drawing, next ex-
planned his plans. His building is
modelled somewhat after the State house
at Trenton and is go feet high. The
tower Is 140 feet high. The building is
provided with two wings, with rear ex-
tending from the building line, Mont
gomery street to the Mercer street line.
This ia done to shut off the unsightly
tenement houses facing on Grove street.
MIR. Broome can also erect his building

fire-pi oof and roomy.
The Commissioners will meet next
Thursday to make decisions.

UnWarranted Arrests Cause

Homestead.
THE Big SYMPATHY STRIKE.
Eight Thousand Men Likely to
Go Out = Conferences
This Morning.
Testimony as to the Carnegie
Efforts to Reduce Wages
Arbitration Favored.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July IA, 1692.-The
borough of Homestead was this morning
placed under martial law, the outcome of
the unwarranted arrest of strangers yes
terday, when the representatives of the
Amalgamated Association arrested a
namber of persons without authority.
The greatest excitement was caused by
this step.
The situation in the town of Homestead
this morning was admitted to be more
critical than at any time since the battle
and the Pinkerton detectives. The
lockedout workmen were looking forward
10 support from the other mills, which
were reported to have promised to strike
if the demands of the Homestead en-
ployes for arbitration were not acceded
to, and, on the other hand. were anxious
about the report that 400 non-union work.
ere were TO be introduced into the works
today.
They boldly predicted. in spite of their
experience with General Snowden. that
serious trouble would result II this step
were taken.
The expectation of help from the other
Carnegie mills acted as sort of Offset to
the fears which the determination of the
Gen. Snowden stated yesterday that the
action of the Advisory Committee in ar
resting citizens. making rules and issuing
passes for those in the town was treason,
and if persisted in would be punished at
once. This had the effect of producing
CONSERVATION at the headquarters of the
men, where the run1or once more was cir
culated that the leaders would be arrested
by the military.
Hugh ODonnell professed not to be-
leve this, but there were many who were
prepared for 1t to take place at any time.
The Beaver Falls and other mills which
announced their intention to strike today
have no grievances of their own. Less
than six days ago the Carnegie Company
conc ceded all their demands, entering into
, contract with the Amalgamated Asso-
eiation.
1t was stated last night that not less
than $4,000 men would go out on strike
to-day, out of sympathy with the men at
Homestead.
Word came this morning that the men
at the Carnegie union mills, Lawrence
vile, and the Beaver Falls mills, were
preparing last night to- quit work today
in accordance with their resolution.
The men said they could raise 81 900. 600
more to support them in their present
struggle. They were confident that the
non-union men at Braddock and Duquesne
would come to their assistance aud quit
work If necessary.
The workmen at keystone Bridge
Works did not meet yesterday, and the
report that they would quit work with
the employees of the union mills was de-
MED.

BIG STRIKE IMMINENT.
The Situation at Pittsburg-Con-
gressiOnal Investigation.

PITTsBURG. July IA, 1s92.-It is believed
hat the 1000 workmen employed IN the
Carnegie mills in Upper and Lower
Union Mills of Pittsburg and
the Beaver Falls Mills will make
good their threat by going on strike
this afternoon, Mr.. H. c. Frick of the
Carnegie Company, not having signified
his intention to comply with the demand
that he h*ld conference with represen-
tatives of the Homestead mills with a
view TO settling the trouble existing there.
A delegation of workmen from the
DuQuesne Carnegie mills visited Home
stead this morning aud had conference
with mem bers Of the Advisory Commit
tee. The delegates said the men of those
mills were ready to go out at any time,
and only awaited request to do so from
the committee. Tney refused to talk with
reporters.
1t is denied this morning that the
workman of the Keystone Bridge Com
pany here will join In the strike, but as
the material used by this company is re-
ceived from the Homestead and the Up
per and Lower mills, strike in the lat
ter would very likely result in forced
shut down of the keystone works.
Superintendent P. R. Dillon of the
Union Mills has prepared for complete
and Lower Union mills.
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION.
The Oates Congressional Investigating
Committee today resumed its inquiry into
the origin of the Homestead troubles.
Among the witnesses at last evenings

Amalgamated Associations: Burgess Nc

Roberts.

President Weihe described the futile
sociation to mediate between the
men and the Carnegies.
"The object of the Association. !" said he.
''is to protect the workmen, and. In such
cases as this, to see that they are not i'm
pos ed upon. We make it point to
watch the market. and in that way We
see just how much money we should be
Alter many general questions upon
strikes, Mr.. Bynum asked Weihe II he
would support legislation which provided
for arbitration, provided that the men
need not consider such a step If
they thought that it would result
disastrously for them, but that they
should binu themselves to rbide by the
result in case they decided to submit
their case for arbitration. Mr.. Weihe
thought that the workmen would be in
favor of such legislation.

STICKS OF THE BALLET.
Mr.. Turner's Oueer Rivalry to the Big
-Eldorado Show

Mr.. Turner's Queer Rivalry to the Big
-Eldorado Show
There WAS young man named Turner
employed by the Eldorado management
as master of properties. He was dis
charged. and being without occupation,
he conceived an idea that may cause him
much trouble.
Turner was on speaking terms with
many of the ballet girls who nightly
dance figures ar Eldorado. They were
not the leading dances. but, to use the
atrical expression, were ssticks" engaged
to I'LL mp aud stay in the background.
Turner's idea was THISTLE would run
off what he was pleased to call ''circus,
ballet and picnic" and make it sort OF
adjunct to Eidorado. He industriously
circulated the story that the ''circus.
ballet and picnic" which would be held
after the regular performance, would be
crowded with the ballet girls and would
knock the regular performance at Eldo-
RADIO silly.
With this purpose in view, Turner
caused tickets to be printed which stated
that the "Eldorado Club would hold a
circus and picnic at Sturm's Atlantic
Garden and the date was fixed for last
night. Tickets for the affair were sold
rapidly at fifty cents. There was q
guarantee with each ticket that the bearer
when once inside the pavilion could get
all the beer he could drink without pay
ing for it.
When rode up on Union Hill car last
night, Sturm's pavilion was lit up as I
had never seen 1t before. The place is
usually dismal and disagreeable looking
and is seldom engaged for picnic parties.
The proprietor Is a member of the Police
Committee of the Union Hill Council.
There were about dozen tough looking
young men standing on the stoop.
Insl0e at Eldorado, President Herman
Walker. who is usually very genia., was
as mad as q March hare at what Turner
had dane
II will certainly prosecute him." Mr..
Walker said to me. "Eldorado is first
class resort, patronized only by the best
of people. The ballet girls are not allowed
to enter the grounds after the show is
over"
Mr.. Walker had given orders before the
performance that if any of the ballet girls
attended the picnic they would be perem D.
torfly dismissed and intimated that the
managers rs would take means to learn il
any of the girls disobeyed the order. Mr..
Walker also consulted with Chief of Po-
lice Kelly. of Weshawken, with view to
causing Turner's arrest.
AS for the picnic last night, it was a
dismal failure. But few of the ballet
girls attended, as they feared dismissal.
Spies sent by the Eldorado management
took the names of half a dozen of the
girls who did attend, and their places will
be filled by others in the ballet tonight.

MY DEAR SIR-I desire to thank you for send
ing us O copy of the resolutions adopted by the
Democracy of Middlesborough, and to assure
you that the kind illusions to me therein are
fully appreciated. I do not wonder that those
adopting these resolutions speak of the Force
bill as horror Of Republicanism. Such doc
trines as it embodies are direct attack upon
the theory of our Government, and while such
measure especially menaces the welfare and
prosperity of the South, it must be condemed
and denounced by all those everywhere who
love their country and have the least claim to
be numbered among those who believe in the
principles of true Democracy. Very truly
yours, GROVER CLEVELAND,
