PITTsBURG, Aug. 3.-Hugh Ross,
strike leader, this morning swore out
warrants for the arrest of II. C. Frick,
Chairman; L. F. Lovejoy, Secretary; j.
@. a. Leishman and II. NJ. Curry, Off
Gals of the Carnegie Company; J. A.
Porter and G.. a. Corey, Superintendent
at the mills; Yardmaster James Dovey;
Superintendent Mcconnell of the Open
Hearth Department; Robert A. and Will
lam Pinkerton. and half a dozen of their
men who took part in the fight at Home
stead, charging them with murder. 1t is
probable that information will be made
later against them for conspiracy to de-
press the wages of the workmen and in
cite riot by bringing armed men into
Homestead.
Secretary Lovejoy, Vice-President
Leishman and Treasurer Curry of the
Carnegie Company appeared before Judge
Ewing in the Criminal Court late this
afternoon to surrender themselves. They
were released on $4,000 bail each.
M essrs. Frick, Nevin, Mcconnell, Corey
and Potter were represented by their at
torneys. The hearing on their applica-
ton for bail was postponed until to-
morrow.
i l.
story in the newspapers is true none Of
the men charged in the information can
be held for murder, certainly not in the
first degree. The men in the bargeS had
right to use all necessary force to main
tain the rightful possession of this prop
erty."
Dovey and Mcconnell, arrested at
Homestead, were taken to Jail at 10
O'Clock and locked up for the night.
The statement that Potter had been ar
rested and later released on bail was
erroneous, and it is not probable that he
VIII surrender himself until tomorrow,
as 1t would neceSSitate remaining in jail
over night. 1t is said the reason Potter
did not surrender this afternoon was that
tie evidence against him is stronger than
the others, he having been on the barges
with the Pinkerton men, and it claimed
gave the order to fire.
The strikers cases received black eye
from the Coroner's jury this afternoon
when verdict was rendered in the cases
OF seven strikers to the effect that SilaS
Vain, one of them, had been killed by
missile from cannon while in an uu-
lawful assembly.
In the case of the Pinkertons the jury
found that T. j. Connors was fatally
wounded by party or psrties unknown,
With felonious intent.
TURBULENT SCENES.
HOMESTEAD, Aug. 3.-The arrests of
Yardmaster James Dovey and Superin-
tendent Mcconnell ofthe open hearth de-
partment, on charge of murder, this
afternoon, was attended by turbulent
scene, necessitating the interference of the
militia and the additional arrest of strik-
ers. When Constables Stewart and Gin
her reached Homestead with four war
rants, two for the above Carnegie officials
and others for Superintendent Potter and
George ~. Corey, rumors of the prospect
ha nd
hundreds of locked-out and striking men
gathered at different stations. At Nun
hall the crowd numbered 200. The train
on which the Constables and prisoners
were to be taken to Pittsburg was a few
minutes late, and when the Constables
and prisoners arrived at the depota crowd
surged around the station door as the
prisoners were hurried into it. A patrol
OF militia strove to keep them back. but
the force was unequal to the task. Every
minute the crowd increased, while NUT
tered threats, especially directed against
Dovey, were plainly heard.
As time passed the crowd became more
turbulent, and word was hastily sent to
the Provost Marshal, and he dispatched
at once Major Crawford with company
of the Fifteenth Regiment. On arrival at
the depot the soldiers marched COMPANY
front, pushing back the crowd, which re-
tired in a surly way. One striker named
Thomas Bowen became obStreperous
and yelled: "Three cheers for Dovey-
d-n him." Before the crowd could
give them, two soldiers hastily seized
Bowen. He was hustled into the station
and placed in charge of two deputies.
This stern measure quelled the hostile
demonstration.
Bowen will be charged with unlawful
assemblage and disorderly conduct, and
probably with melting to riot. The
turbulent demonstration has convinced
General Wylie that it would be useless to
remove the militia from Homestead for
the present.
BAUER OUT on BAIL.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 3.-Heinrich Bauer,
the anarchist charged with being an ac-
cessory to the shooting of Frick, was re-
leased on $1,000 bail to-day. Judge Ewing
refused to accept bail in the case OF An
archist Knold, as he said there was evil
dence that knold had shown Bergman
the Carnegie offices.
The Carnegie Company, it is said. will
make an attempt to start the Duquesne
plant next Monday.
