WEAKENING
MANY OF THE STRIKERS WANT EN-
PLOYMENT.
rHE CARNEGIE COMPANY WILL
SOON HAVE ALL THE WORK
MEN THEY WANT.

PITTsBuRG. Aug. "A few brief
lines from Otis Childs, Of the Carnegie
Company, now inside the Homestead
mills, tells the story of the day and de-
cides the great strike.
The telegram sent by Mr.. Childs to
Vice President Leishman, Of the Pitts
burg offices, was thus:--
Hire no more men, send up what
you have engaged, but no MORE
Immediately upon receipt of this
telegram word was sent to employ
ment offices throughout the country
countermanding orders for non-union
men.
This either means one of two things,
the Carnegie firm win capitulate or the
great number of old men desiring to
enter Homestead mills is sufficient to
make up the complement. That the
firm will surrender is sheer nonsense.
Mr.. Curry, of the Carnegies, this
evening said that there were 100 men
in the Homestead mills; that most of
them We're skilled and that many of
their old men wanted work, thirty-six
more old employees having entered
the mills to-day. The explanation Of
the orders to hire no more non-nnion
men is that the firm expects fully 1000
of the old employees to return. In fact,
Secretary lovejoy says of the $500
strikers there are only about 1000 to
$500 they would take back under any
circumstances.

There are a great many interesting
facts and figures connected with post
Offices and their masters. For instance,
when countryman is tired Of walking
or driving several miles for his mail and
concludes that the government should
bring it nearer, he should state that
fact to the first assistant postmaster
general, whose clerks will furnish him
with instructions and blank petition
for the neighbors to sign. If he wants
the new Office bad enough to make the
government think it a necessity, he
will doubtless get it.

INDIANAPOLIS MEMBERS ASK FOR A

PROMINENT OFFICERS OF THE on.
DEN DENY THAT IT Is Nor

Saturdays papers made the an
nouneement that the order af Iron

something on the tontlne principal,
was in legal mess that might result
in the appointment of receiver FOR
the order and that an application for
such an order had been made in Indi.

The bill states tlnt there are 1000
local branches throughout tile Union,
with a total membership Of 10000.
The plaintiffs say they believe the
order is insolvent because II il indebt,

sick and disability benefits, $3.50, 900;
for 1894 their indebtedness will be &c.
$50, 900, and for 1895, 80, $50 200.
They further claim that $4,000 was
wasted last year. They charge ex-
travagance and misconduct on the
part Of +. p. Somerby, the supreme
justice Of the order. The assets Of
the order, il is alleged. consist Of 4 re-
serve fund Of 81 200, 900 and property
to the amount of $l,0o0,O00. The
headquarters Of the order are in In
dianapolis, therefore the receiver is
asked for in that city.
Several prominent officers Of the
order live in Philadelphia and Balti-
more and all join in denouncing the
effort to injure their lodge as the work
Of insurance companies and claim II
financial soundness for it.
The Iron Hall has won suits Of d
similar kind in New York and Massa-
ehusetts and will II IS claimed, bring
counter-charges in this case.

Mr. Somerby takes legal action against
the three men we can hardly tell what

ROCKFORD, WASH, Aug. 2.-Sever-
al men here from the Colville Reserya-
ton report different bands of Indians
engaging in dances which bade no
good for the squatters. The Indians
are greatly incensed at the failure of
the authorities to eject prcspectors,
and even those who heretofore have
been peaceably disposed seem to have
caught the inspiration from others and
allsare armed.
The removal of all the intruders
would settle the trouble and the Indian

those at Spokane can be spared from

VARIOUS MODES OF BURIAL.

The Mohometans always, whether
in their own country or in one 81
adoption, bury without coffin or casket
of any kind.
During the time of the old Roman
Empire the dead bodies of all except
suicides were burned.
The Greeks sometimes buried theil
dead in the ground, but more general
ly cremated them in imitation of the
Romans.
In India, up till within the last few
years, the wife, either according Il
her wishes or otherwise, was cremated
on the same funeral pyre that convert.
ed her dead husbands remains into
ashes.
When child dies in Greenland the
natives bury live dog with it.. the
dog to be used by the child as guide
to the other world. When questioned
in regard to this peculiar superstition
they will only answer "A !, dog
can find his way anywhere.
The NATIVES of Australia tie the
hands-of their dead together and pull
out their nails; this is for fear that the
corpse may scratch its way out of the
grave and become a vampire.
The primitive Russians place a GER
tiicate of character in the dead persons
hands, which is to be given to st. Peter
at the gates Of heaven.
