How L. Looks I'm Pittsburr.

PITTsBURG, July ls.-Affairs In the
Lawrence mill district, where the upper
and lower Union mills are located, are
assuming serious aspect. All day and
night the halls In the vicinity were
thronged with workingmen discussing the
situation. The skilled mechanics who
struck Friday are urging the laborers 70
Join the strike. The laborers are in SYM
pathy with the movement, and many de-
clared they would quit work. Even II
they do not, they will be compelled to
quit on Tuesday from lack OF material. A
secret conference Of Amalgamated work
men was held Ia Union hall, but efforts
to learn the results were fruitless. The
men assert that the mills will never be
operated by non-union workmen.
Additional guards have been placed
about the company's property, but the
captain Is the only one armed.
Hundreds OF the old workmen assem-
bled about the mill but all were orderly.
The fence about the upper mill Is almost
complete. The men are confident OF win
ming and claim there are not enough
skilled workmen in the country to I'LL the
vacancies In the plants.
Considerable curiosity was excited by
the departure last evening on the fast
train east OF Hugh O'Donnell, the lead
Of the Homestead strikers. He said
expected to be away several days. but -
fused TO give his destination or mission.
George w. 'Rutter, a steel worker
wounded in the riot Of July O. died here

ton man OF Chicago, died at midnight.
This makes eleven deaths resulting from
the riot.

BALlOONIST ALLEN MAY LIVE.
He is Likely to be Crippled for Life IL He
Does Recover.

He is Likely to be Crippled for Life IL He
Does Recover.
Balloonist James X. Allen, who was in
jured In the ascension In Providence Sat-
urday afternoon, passed an agonizing
night and day. He may live to make
more trips to the skies, but he will be n
lifelong cripple. His condition is still
serious, and the doctors are almost con-
stantly at his bedside.
The injured aeronaut's wife, who met
with an accident while ballooninga couple
OF years ago and broke her leg, is nursing
her husband. She is the most hopeful OF
all the persons In the Allen household
and insists that her husband will survive
the terrible shaking up and broken limbs
which resulted from his fall.
Reporter Hopkins was about today, but
pretty lame, and with his whole left side
black and blue.
1t now appears that Prof. Allen was
very much averse to making the ascen-
SION under the weather and wind condi-
tions of Saturday, but that he determined
to ill the contract with the city largely
because OF the failure OH the Fourth OF
July. He did not relish the idea OF a
second disappointment to a crowd OF
sightseers.
Prof. Allen describes the trip about as
Reporter Hopkins did, hut he insists
that when he was yanked out OF the ring
ropes, he held on to the "bursting" and
valve ropes and that his weight ripped
the bag open. He does not believe that
he caught the display flags on the basket
OF the balloon as appeared to the other
occupants and to the big crowd who were
closely watching the exploits OF the voya-
gers.
Prof. Allen says the balloon burst when
over Lester street, where he dropped and
that 1t simply jumped across few houses
after that because the gas had not suf-
ficiently escaped from the rent in the bal
looms side.
Miss Mamie Allen, the daughter OF the
aeronaut, was very i'll today from nervous
prostration. She was told last night that
her father was dead, and she became un-
conscious and delirious, at times several
men being required to care for her.
The "Royal Sovereign" was gathered to
gether, and 1t is found by the elder Allen
to be in very good condition, notwith-
standing the humping 1t received.
The failure Of the three companions of
Prof. Allen TO lift out the ballast is con-
sidered the main cause OF the disaster.

The Mayor Thinks Local Officials Can
Handle the Sewer Problem.

Mayor Carroll has discharged the three
sewer experts and thus shut of a big
drain OF expense turned on by ex. Mayor
Goodwin.
The experts were Messrs. Shedd OF
Providence, Croes of New York and Mills
of Lawrence. Mills resigned sometime
ago.
The Sewers Commissioners and a major
ity OF the people say that the Mayor has
done the right thing as the experts
were costing the city good deal of money

II is the general opinion that the OFF,
cials OF this city, the City Engineer, the
Sewer Commissioners, ETC., are fully able
to cope with this question.
