NOT DUE TO NEGLIGENCE.

Verdict OF tho Coroner's Jury in tho
Homestead Accident Csss-The Firm
Asked to Mako Alterations to Prevent
Recurrence.
Coroner Mcdowell concluded the inquest
yesterday into the death of the men who
died from injuries received in the accident
at the Homestead Steel Works on March 26.
There were eight witnesses who testified
yesterday, all of whose testimony was SINH
lar to that Of those heard previously. John
McLuckie, the Burgess of the borough.
formerly worked at the steel mill and is
steel man. He never heard of any COM
plants about the pressure pipe in the mill,
or of the scul1 on the over shed being dan
gerouA So far as he knew he never
heard of the Mill Committee suggesting
that it was dangerous He never knew
the scull to fall in that way, and had seen
employees engaged in scraping the scull off
the shed to guard against such calamity.
Robert Devine never knew of the pipe to
be broken, and had seen men on the shed
scraping the scull off to prevent its accumu-
lation. Joseph Cooster also never heard
any complaints as to the danger of the out
side shed, and had worked about the place
for ten years. He thought it was bad
policy to take the night man off the work,
but he had been put on again, and any
possible danger was thought to have been
averted.
Charles Goeddel had worked about the
mill for nine years and never knew the pipe
to be broken from the same cause. H;llard
Colgan and Patrick McCollum, employees at
Jones & Laughlin's 8, formerly worked in the
mill, but neither knew of an accident where
the fatal one occurred. One of the men in
jured in the accident, Albert Williams, is
still confined to his home in Homestead,
and the Coroner went there to get his state
ment He did not know how it happened,
but was positive it was an unavoidable acci-
dent, only occurring and resulting in In
jury by an odd circumstance, that of the
converter being turned in the direction it
was when the pipe broke
The jury after hearing 80 pages of manu-
script testimony returned verdict that the
deaths resulting were from accident, but
recommended that the firm take such steps
toward making alterations as to prevent q
recurrence OF the casualty.

GOT IN DEEPER.

Wissig, who Insulted the Ladies, Tries to
Square Himself-More Of His Remarks
Stricken From the Minutes-He Says He
Is Prosecuted.
ALBANY, April 1s.-Phillip Wissig, the
New York Assemblymen, who, speaking
last week on the woman's suffrage bill, de-
livered himself of utterances that were ex-
plunged from the record because of their in
decency, at to-night's session rose to q
question of privilege. He said that during
the passage of the woman's suffrage bill q
number of members explained their votes,
and he had done likewise.
In all sincerity he had not intended to
insult anyone Of either House, of which he
was member, or the ladies. He said this
in justice to his family, his friends and his
organization. He must deny the words
that had been attributed to him. The words
that he used had been misconstrued by evil
minded men. The newspapers had been
more than unjust to him, and he trusted
those which had abused him so outrageously
would now print his speech.
MI. Hill also rose to question of privi-
lege ALI of the members had heard what the
gentleman said last Friday. He therefore
moved that such portion Of his present
speech as related to "evil-minded" persons
be also stricken from the minutes
The Speaker said that when the motion
had first been put he had announced that
the speech was not on the journal, and that
the motion had been changed so that the
speech should be stricken from the stenog-
rapher's minutes. This had been carried
and the stenographer had destroyed his
notes. Mr. Hills position was not ques-
tion of privilege, and his motion was out of
order

General suIly's Scouts Have Been Paid
Twice, but Bob Up Again.
MINNEAPoLIs, April 1&-The passage
by the Senate of Pettigrew's bill appro-
priating money to pay Indian scouts en-
ployed by General Sully in 1864 reveals the
fact that these scouts have already been
paid twice. Ex-Governor Faulk, OF
Yankton, makes the following statement:
On the application of Delegate BurIeigh,
Congress appropriated $1,000 to pay these
scouts. See act approved February 25, 1869.
This sum was paid by Governor Faulk. The
War Department in 1871 also paid them SIS
each, the Secretary finding no evidence in
his office that they were paid before. The
bill of February 25 1869, provided for pay
ment through the War Departments, but the
House amended it, making the Governor of
Dakota the disbursing officer. These facts
show that $4,000 was paid in 1869 and SIS
each in 1871, the latter sum alone being con-
sidered by the War Department. as just and
proper compensation for the time and serv-
ice as reported by General Sully.
