PITTsBrRG, Pa. Dec. ti.-The hearing in
the case of Robert Beatty, charged with
furnishing poison with which to poison non
union worllmcn at Homestead. was held this
afternoon before Squire McMOsters, and re-
suited in Beatty being held IN 5000 bonds
for trial at court. The Office of the alder
man was filled with interested spectators,
Patrick Gallagher, the cook who made the
confession, was not present.
J. w. Davidson, formerly a cook at Home
stead, testified that on August 25, he and
Gallagher and Beatty held conference
with District Master Workman Dempsey,
the result of which was that all of them
went TO Homestead to attend the work of
poisoning nonunonists in the mill. As to
the selection OF the poison, witness said
Beatty suggested CrOton oil, and | said,
no that IL was dangerous and Dempsey said
he knew powder which would be better.
Dempsey said he had used these powders in
Chicago and he had broken Il strike in four
days, 1t was not dangerous. Dempsey said
he would guarantee us $50 each and our eX-
pcnscs We got no powders that day. We
then left the hall together and talked about
1t, Beatty said we were To get $50 and
gold watch and chain if we went"
Davidson said that of the $50 promised
him he got but Sl4.
Severe cross-cxamination did not mater
tally weaken Davidson's evidence. David
son however, admitted, that he was ar
rested late in November and taken into the
station and WAS sworn and told the story he
had Just told. Then he was released. Gal
lagher lwas arrested before that. He said
they had il down in black and white and
he had to tell all he knew.
Detective Ford was then called. He said
he knew Beatty and Davidson. son De-
Cember L. he said. Il heard Il conversation
| between Beatty, Gallagher and Davidson, in
which Beatty told about the powders and
| what they contained. Gallagher said he
| believed if Dempsey was home the strike
| would be won but Beatty said he thought
not. heard Gallagher say Tom Brady first
suggested Croton oil. On December T. |
overheard a talk between Gallagher and
| Beatty, which was about the same as the
| former one. Beatty said Turkish rhubard
and snuff Were in the powders and it was
| not necessary to tell the rest. Gallagher
said he could take the powders and go west,
| and told Beatty to go to Homestead next
! day and get the powders, there was money
in it for both of them"
Louis WolferS, steward of the restaurant
| in the Homestead mill, testified that he
noticed sickness after he employed Gala
! CHER as cook. He said that in spite of the
best food, he and his wife became very i'll
and had never fully recovered. He had
several times seen Beatty talking TO Gala
CHER in the mill.
Beatty was held in 81 900 bail for trial al

ON THE SCHOOL QUESTION
Editor Pallen Replies to Archbishop Ire
lands Published Interview,
HE coNTRADIcTS THAT EMINENT DIVINE
Mgr. satoiii's Mission and the Powers with
Which lie is vested the cause of Much
Disputc-Doings of the Balti-
more Conference.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Dec lT.-Mr. Conde b.
Pallen, editor of the Church Progress, who
has made no secret Of his hostility to Arch
bishop 1reland's school schemes, was asked
to make a reply to the interview which that
prelate published this morning. Mr.. Pallcn
said Archbishop Ireland does exactly what
he accuses his opponents of doing-that is
attempting to create a public opinion in
their own favor. His whole interview is
nothing more than an appeal to what he
calls the American mind or in reality TO
secular public opinion in this country. We
would like to know what secular opinion III
this country has to do with the settlement
of the school question by the church itself
Certainly it is not to be expected that
secular opinion as to what should constitute
Catholic education will dominate in the set
Element of the controversy.
The secular mind is not capable of forming
Judgment upon the nature, character or
cxigcncics of Catholic education. An appeal
to it, therefore, is simply to appeal from the
proper court, where alone jurisdiction is
possessed to the hnsty and temporary opin-
ion of the epopulace. II is both un-Catholic ana
un-Ancrican to appeal to prejudice when
has no legitimate relation to the question in
dispute.

His Letter Acknowledging the Acceptance
of the Gift by the CITY,

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. l7.-Several weeks
since the Pittsburg Art society adopted res
olutions recommending the acceptance of
Mr.. Calnegie's gift of public library TO the
city of Pittsburg.
In transmitting the resolutions to Mr..
Carnegie the society deplored the stand
taken by the several labor organizations
against accepting Mr.. Carnegie's gift To
day MIR. c. w. Scotcl received Mr. Carnegie's s
reply, which says in part:

LIFE PICTURED BY 1NeERsoLL.


Born of love and hope, of ecstacy and pain
of agony and fear, of tears and joy-dowered
with the wealth of two united hearts held
in happy arms, with lips upon lifes drifted
font, bluc-veined and fair, whore perfect
peace finds perfect form-rocked by willing
feet and wooed to shadOwy shores of sleep
by siren mother singing soft and lOw-look-
ing with wonders wide and startled eyes at
common things of life and day-taught by
want and wish and contact with the things
that touch the dimpled flesh of babes-lured
by light and flame and charmed by color's
wondrous robes, learning the use of hands
and feet, and by the love of fmimicfy beguilcd
to utter spcech-releasing prsoned thoughts
from grabbed and curious marks on sOiled
and tattered leaves-pu2zlng the brain with
crooked numbers and their changing, tangled
worth--and so through years of alternating
day and night, until the captive grows ia
miliar with the chains and walls and limita-
tions of Il life.
And time runs on in sun and shade until
the one of all this world is woOed and won,
and all the lore of love is taught and learned
again. Again nome Is built, with the fair
chamber wherein faint dreams, like cool and
love. Again the miracle Of birththe pain
and Joy, the kiss of welcome and the cradle
song, drowning the dlowsY prattle of babe.
And then the sense of obligation and OF
wrOngpity for those who toll and weep
tears for the imprisoned and despised-loyc
for the generous dead, and III the heart the
rapture OF high resolve.
And then ambition, with its lust of pelf
and place and power, longing to put upon its
breast distinctions worthless badge. Then
keeuer thoughts of men, and eyes that see
behind the smiling mask Of craft-fattered
no more by the obstreperous cringe of gain
and greed knowing the uselessness of
boarded gold and honor bought from those
who charge the usury of self-respect-of
power that only bends coward's knees and
forces from the lips of fear the lies of praise.
Knowing at last the unstudied gesture OF
esteem, the reyerent eyes made rich with
honest thoughts and holding high above all

Strange Conduct of Chicago Typographical

CHICAGO, H., Dec, 17-The subcommittee
of the National board of control at n late
hour tonight completely eXonerated Com
missioner ST. CLAIM, from any completely in
letting the Conkey contract or of direct or
indirect connection with the letting of any
concession. Incidentally the members of
the Typographical upion were denounced as
a set of towards, who did not dare to at
tempt the substantiation of the charges they
had made. This lastghoweyer was not in
corporated in the official report
The committee met 'dt o'clock and the
members of the Typographical union did not
show up. For four hours the committee
waited and at o'clotka letter was brought
from the TypograpHicH union, saying that
the board of control h3a declined to enter
tain its charges, andgRs the investigation
was in progress before another committee,
the printers had dectIsl that they would
not appear before the board of control and
prosecute their charges against Mr.. st.
Clair. The other committee has in charge
the Conkey concession alone and the St.
Clair matter had been left entirely TO the
board of control committee, which some days
ago had informed the printers that il would

When the letter had been read Commits

ELECTED OFFICERS.
Last Days Session of the Federation of
Labor.

Labor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 17.-At today's
session of the Federation of La Dor resolu-
tions were adopted calling on local unions to
join central labor bodies holding charters
from the federation; condemning the Rock
Island road for requiring its telegraphers to
withdraw from their organizations; asking
that sailors be included in the alien contract
labor law; favoring changes in the contract
labor law so that the inventor shall receive
direct reward; demanding that immigration
be restricted; favoring the eight-hour sys-
tenn; asking clemency for the Chicago an
archists; demanding that the government
control railroads, but rejecting Il socalistic
resolution favoring government control of
all means of communication, transportation
and production.
Resolutions were passed advocating woman
suffrage, asking for state legislation to pro-
tect trades unions trademarks; for legiSla
tion against the Chinese. Resolution asking
congress either to pass legislation for com
pulsory arbitration of labor disputes or the
submission OF constitutional amendment
permitting such legislation, caused a lively
tilt between the socialists and anti-socialists
in the convention.
The question was finally settled by the
adopting of substitute which practically
= approves the principle of arbitration.
The annual election of officers was called
for in the afternoon as the regular order; but
the federation first desired to vote on. the
amount of salaries paid
The pres dents salary was increased from
81 800 to 81 800 per annum and the secretary s
from 81 200 to 81 800.
Before proceeding further resolutions were
adopted favoring municipal state and ma
tional civil service reform and free and COM
pulsory education.
There was no opposition to President
Gompers' reelection, and the election was
unanimous. Christopher Evans was re-
elected secretary; John B. Lennow was re-
elected treasurer; j. p, MCGUIRE was re-
elected vice president. For second vice
president, William a. Carney, who took an
active part in the Homestead troubles, was
elected.
Chicago secured the convention for 1893
after a close fight against the claims OF
Denver
A resolution favoring direct elections by
the people was passed unanimously
A resolution was passed favoring the pro
hibition of Japanese immigration The final
adjournment was then announced.

-Four Beautiful Female slaves wade the Vic
Tins of n Jealous wrath.

-Four Beautiful Female slaves wade the Vic
Tins ora Jealous wrath.
CoysTANTINoPGE, Dec. 11.--k'our beautiful
female slaves were recently presented by the
khcdive of Egypt to the sultan of Turkey
and placed IN the imperial harcm. They APP
pear to have had captivating influence on
the sultan, who paid them so much attention
as to excite the jealousy of the other women.
The four beautiful slaves were murdered in
their beds few days ago, having fallen vic
Tins to poison. The sultan is said to
have been deeply enraged when
he heard the fate of his favor
ties, and to have ordered a rigid inves-
tigation and severe punishment of the guilty.
Three eunuchs who had access to the apart
ments of tho victims have been arrested on
suspicion of being the persons who actually
administered the poison, and at latest
accounts are being subjected to torture in
order to compel them to make full confes-
sion. Suspicion of having instigated the
crime rests chiefly on one of the Cubans who
until the arrival of the Egyptian women al
most monopoized the sultan's affections.
In the present temper of his majesty, 1T is
doubtful whether even she would escape the
bow string or the bosporus should evidence
of her guilt be adduced.

HoBoKEN, N. j., Dec. 1.-THE controversy
between Bishop Wigger of Newark City and
Father Corrigan of Hoboken was rather alb

Bishop Wigger surrendered uncondition-

withdrawn. Bishop Wigger appointed
committee of priests to visit Father Corri-

To this proposal Father COrrigan made reply,
stating that because of the advice of mutual
friends he yields whatever might justly be
expected from him to put an end to the con-
troversy He expresses regret that he may
have unintentionally gone beyond the proper
bounds, and says he believes the bishop has
tried to be just in the administration of his
diocese. He adds that he has no intention
in the future of attacking the bishop or his
government in the papers
Bishop Wigger in acknowledging the re-

SPORTING NOTES.
Changes I'm the Ownership of the Chicago
Base Nall Club.

Base Ball Club.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 1.-THE National
League franchise of,the Chicago Base Ball
club has been transferred by John r. Walsh,
a. G. Spaulding, A c. Trego and James A,
Hart to Charles NJ Sherman, Thomas f.
Barrett and James A. Hart. The new man
agement made application today to incor-
porate with a capital of 100000. There are
number of small stockholders, but
Sherman, Barrett and Hart own
the controlling interest. The reason
given today by Mr.. Hart for the transfer is
that by its purchase of newball grounds in
the west and, at Hot Springs, Ark, the
Chicago base ball club became in a financial
way more of Il land than an amusement or
ganization. 1t was, therefore, concluded to
| operate the two branches separately and
allow the old corporation to look after the
landed business while the new corporation
will do nothing but hunt the penant, 1t is
supposed that Captain Anson will retain the
old position and hold not only what stock he
now has, but "a good sized block in addition.
Mr.. Hart expresses himself firmly in the
| opinion that the agreement means Sunday
games and playing during the Worlds fair.

that "A certain patent machine has been In
