Dull at Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, July Is. "A lull of the
most pronounced kind opened this
week in Homestead. Strikers and
soldiers seemed to have finally settled
down to the conclusion that q long,
tedious siege was before them and
that there was nothing to do but
wait. The departure of the mil.
itary musketeers helped to give
the camp q dull air and work
men for the greater part adopted
new course by remaining away from
headquarters and devoting their at.
tentiou to long deferred repairs inside
the walls and fences of their homes.
Among a few found in public places
practically the only two topics
were the punishment of Private
James and the expected return of
Hugh O'Donnell. Generally any de.
monstration, when O'Donneli arrived,
was deprecated, though few hin ted
that q we'll arranged spontaneous
display of their feelings was not i'm
probable. The chances for collision
with the troops are believed to be
small.

Filling the Mills.

PITTsBGRG, Pa, July 25.-To all
appearance the Thirty-third street
mill of the Carnegie company is
guarded this morning by large de-
tachment of police. 1t is now about
settled that an effort will be made to
put several hundred men in this mill
as soon as they can be arranged
for. No strangers have yet arrived
at the works. Only the hands en-.
ployed right along since the shut
down ten days ago are on duty, but
everything indicates they ale
in readiness for workers. Fur
naces are lighted as they were
for the past several days. The locked
men are taking matters coolly. The
statement that the city mills of the
company were to start today is denied
by Secretary Lovejoy, who stated that
the company was in no hurry with
their work. Secretary Lovejoy
said the great fight is. at
Homestead. When Nthe company
wins it other matters will be easily

A Thief Arrested.

There was great excitement about 10
O'Clock this morning around Military
plaza, the occasion being u chase by
the officers for one Enrique Cuellar,
who was arrested for theft. 1t seems
that about 9:45 O'Clock w. F. Klaus,
who is employed at the Convention
hall, had left his vest in a small room
in the building and had stepped out
for q lunch. On returning he had Oc-
casion to look in his vest pocket for
his time book, being time keeper, and
found the vest gone. He had seen
strange character around the build
ing an hour previous, and at once sus-
pected him as being the one who
made away with his vest.
He went towards Military plaza
and noticed the fellow entering
pawn shop owned by Mr.. Guerguin.
He followed him and walked into
the store, just as the rascal had
handed q silver watch over for loan.
He took the watch, examined 1t, and,
finding it was his property, turned
around to see where the man was and
he had fled. Before entering the
store, had notified the police and as
the man had gone, he, together with
Captains Hennessy and Hughes,
went in search. They found him on
Commerce street near the Olympic
theatre, when he was arrested and
taken to police headquarters. He
gave his name as Enrique Cuellar
and said that his home was in Lar
edo; that he had been staying at var
ious lodging and chop houses in the
city and that his intentions were,
when coming to this city, to get em-
ployment. He was searched and q
knife, time book and other small art
icles, all belonging to Mr.. Klaus,
were found on his person. He had
also In his possession two pawn tick
cts from q shop at Austin, one for
coat and vest and the other for piece
of jewelry. He was taken to Justice
Adam and placed under a $500 bond.
