The woloott,s Latest oanture

What prom sed to be a good sensa
tional story was ruined yesterday fore
noon 10y the denial of the rumored
seizure Of opium by the Wolcott. A
report was in circulation that a sloop
had been captured in Hale's passage
with large amount of opium aboard,
and towed into this bay. After brisk
chase the rumor was run down and
divested of its false colors, proved to
be "a very different class of seizure.
A sloop containing three ignorant
"dagos," engaged in the fishing bust
ness, became becalmed near Point
Midgley, and finding the current
against them the crew made fast To a
channel buoy and went TO sleep to
await wind or Il change i'm the tide.
The Wolcott passed that way and, the
sloop being fastened to the buoy, the
revenue cutter was able to overhaul
her and make prisoners of the crew
The boat was taken i'm tow and
brought into this bay, where the
"dagOs" were turned over to the state
authorities and information filed
against them by District Attorney
Cole. They were tried before Judge
Williams yesterday forenoon charged
with misdemeanOr, and after hear
ing were dismissed upon payment of
costs, IL being evident TO the judge that
the act was due more to ignorance of
the law than to any intention to viO-
late the statute, and as no damage was
done to person or property no case
could, in justice, be made against
them.

They Contest the Division

A gigantic fight is being waged
against the county commissioners and
the county superintendent Of schools.
Residents of school district No. 8 object
to the recent action of the superintend-
ent, wherein he divided district No. 8
and made district called No. 66, from
the part taken out of No. s. Last
April an election was held TO decide
upon the location of school building
in district No. s. The present site was
selected and the minority applied for a
division of the district and the location
Of school building on the site selected
by them. This division WAS granted
by the superintendent and is now con-
tested by the representatives Of three
quarters of the voters in district No 8.
The residents wishing another school
house are said to be new arrivals i'm the
county who have "A town site scheme
in their heads and hope TO profit by
the division, although they represent
but four or five school children. The
county commissioners devoted yester-
day TO the hearing of this protest and
will continue il today.

THE GREAT STRIKE ENDED.

The AmaIgamated Association De-
clares the Five Months, Strike AT
Homestead at an End-OmcfaIs First
to Weaken-Busfness Men of the
Town Elated-The Immense Losses.
PrrrsBURG, Nov. 20.-The great strike
at Carnegie steel works has been declared
off.
This action was taken at the meeting of
the lodges of the Amalgamated association
at Homestead this afternoon, the vote
standing 101 In favor of declaring the
strike off and 81 against it. Among those
present were Vice-President Carney, Sec
Rotary Kilgallon, Treasurer Madden and
David Lynch of the advisory board. The
officials In plain words told the men the
strike was lost and advised them to take
steps to better their condition. The re-
marks met with considerable opposition,
but the majority favored declaring the
strike off. Those who were In favor of
declaring tine strike off were jubilant,
while those who were against 1t were
badly put out. Many of the latter were
men who had applied In vain for
positions In the mill or felt sure that
their names were on the -compsny's black
list. A member of the advisory board said
to day that he had been trying to get the
strike declared off for some weeks. Those
who cannot get back are in bad fix, as the
relief funds will be stopped and many hun
dreds of them have nothing to live on.
The people in Homestead are highly elated
over the calling off of the strike, for if 1t
had continued much longer 1t would have
ruined the town. Many business houses
since the strike has been on. Bust
ness Is expected to resume its normal
condition coon. The Homestead strike
lasted about Eve months, and It has been
one of the most disastrous in the history
of the country. The strike at one time in
volved nearly 10000 men, and the loss in
wages will reach, 1t lie said, about 50, 000,-
900. The loss to the firm is estimated at
double the amount lost by the men in
wages. To this can be added nearly half
a million dollars paid to the state troops
and the costs to the county of Allegheny
for the riot, treason and other cases
growing out of the strike. The
news of to days action was re-
ceived with dismsy by the strikers
in the two Lswrenceville mills of the Car
negie company. These men were sympathy,
strikers and went out at the time the men
at Beaver Falls and Duquesne struck. The
Duquesne men gave up the fight In three
weeks and the Beaver Falls men decided to
go back yesterday. The Lawrenceville
men, however, had no intention of giving
in. They are very angry at the Home
stead men and will probably declare the
strike off tomorrow.

Zigler hearing the shot ran for assistance,
taking her children with her. Mrs. Zigler
then hastened back home, and as she
entered the door another shot was fired by
her husband. 1t is supposed it was in

away a portion of the neck and right

with his revolver, hitting Zigler in the
| side. Zigler staggered back into the house
and fired at Officers Donohue and Foley,
who tried to enter the door. Donohue re-
ceived slight wound in the face. The
officers withdrew and after while Zigler
came out. He appeared dazed and was
easily captured. Threats of lynching
were heard on every hand, citizens
drew revolvers as If to shoot the prisoner.
After struggle the officers got him into a
wagon and took him to police station,
| where he made an incoherent statement,
indicative of insanity. He said he had
only done what the spirits had told him to
do and he claimed that his mother law
was witch. Zigler will recover.
