PITTsBURG. July 24.-H. c. Frick slept
we'll during the night and rested easily to-
day. HIS temperature is ninety-eight and
he seems to be quite cheerful and confident
of his recovery. A curious thing was that
another cut was discovered to-day which
was missed in the examination made Sat
urday. Ii is in the left leg. inst below the
calf, and Las almost severed the tendons.
He complained OF pain in the leg. but hn
attendants imagined that It was the other
wounds he spoke of. 1t was. of course.
carefully dressed, and relief followed. The
patient has passed the day listening to let
tors and kilograms and debating replies.
He has also gone over the papers quite
CLOSELY and discussed their contents. IL is
the intention of his associates In the COM
pany to let Mr.. Frick continue the direc-
tion of the contest at Homestead from his
home. a. they believe that the worry and
anxiety of enforced Idleness in such crisis
would do him more harm than the work it
self. Frick himself will nbt hear of any
other course. Il said would be back al
the office on Monday" he declared. "but il
can't do shat, can at least take up my
work here"

more anxiety in the family over Mrs.
Fricks condition than her husbands. She

Yesterday the papers were kept from her
and she wss given TO understand that the
affray at the Office was q trifiing one. This
morning however. she got hold OF q news

thus given at once was almost a shock.

scribe to q friend more fully than before
his memory of the assault. After the shots

Nothing in his life has so thoroughly DEM

sumed that he has gone on TO discover the
truth of Bergman's statements.
The surgeons will not say tonight that
he is absolutely out of danger, as it will be
several days before the crisis will be re-
garded as being safely passed, but at the
same time they are free TO express the opin.

There is a good deal of talk and specula-
tion regarding the effect of the tragedy up
on the management and affairs of the Car
negle company as we'll as upon the Home
stead and kindred strikes. In this connec-
tion gentleman who stands very close to
the corporation, aud who knows whereof
he speaks from his long intimacy with Mr..
Frick, said to-day:

of his faculties there will be no necessity
for temporary chairman, or even for the

same MIR. Frick that sat in his revolving
chair in his office Sat ay morning Ev-

gigantic interests his care at his
fingers ends, the CO .tion will be run
from his sick oh .-er with the same
promptitude and with the same good judg.
ment. the same autocracy that has always
distinguished him. This was evidenced
yesterday by his pluck in insisting that
the surgeons should stop probing for the
bullet in order that he might append bis
signature to important documents. as we'll
by his action in calling all his head men
into the Office and giving them instructions
for Mondays work. As to the Homestead
strike. am confident that this affair Will
not be changed one iota. He will 90 on IN
the path he has laid out. although it may
be necessary to call in others TO help do
that which, under different circumstances
he would have done himself
Secretary Lovejoy authorizes the state
ment that there are now between four aud
five hundred men in the Homestead mills
and that as many moro will 60 In to-mor-
