THE COOK CONFESSES.
HOW GALLAGHER USED THE YELLOW
POWDERS AT HOMESTEAD.

He Says He Placed Them in the Tea and
Coffee Used by the Carnegie workmen.
He duplicates an Officer of the knights
of Labor.
HARRISBURG, Dec. 14-The action of the
governor in favorably considering the ap.
plication of Deputy Sheriff Farrell for a req
uisition on the governor of Kentucky fol
the delivery of Robert Beatty, now at
Louisville, into the custody of Allegheny
county authorities was based on several
afiidavits. One of these was that of Pat
rick Gallagher, aged thirty-six, cook in
the Carnegie works, employed in what is
known as restaurant No. l.
Gallagher says that on some day between
Aug. 81 and 2s Robert Beatty approached
him in Pittsburg on the subject of putting
something in the tea or coffee made for the
workmen which would have the effect of
making those drinking the tea or coffee
sick and unable to work
On the following day Beatty took him, in
company with one j. NJ. Davidson, to see
H. II. Dempsey, the master workman OF
District Assembly No. 3, Knights of Labor,
at G6 Third avenue, and there informed
him that Dempsey was the man who would
furnish the material to put in the tea OF
coffee.
The Yellow Powder.
Gallagher says that Beatty suggested in
the presence of Dempsey that croton oil be
used, but Davidson objected, saying it was
dangerous to use unless by man expert
enced in the use of it. Therefore David
son and Gallagher both declined to have
anything to do with the project if it in
volved danger to human life. Gallagher
was then told to visit Dempsey every day
or two until he could get the material to
be used On the 9TH or Sth of September he
received from Dempsey personally bottle
containing yellow powder, which Demp
sey informed him contained three doses,
one of which would be sufficient for a pot
of coffee containing thirty gallons.
He subsequently put this into the tea
drank by the Carnegie workmen in No.
restaurant, with the result, as he believes,
of making such workmen as drank it sick
and unable to work. He subsequently re-
ceived other powders of apparently the
same character from Dempsey and contin-
ued to administer them with similar effect
He also received Others later from Beatty,
who cautioned him not to use more than
one powder in thirty gallons of tea or cof-
fee, to be put into the tea or coffee to be
drunk by the skilled workmen.
1t Killed Dog.
On one occasion Beatty informed Gal.
lagher that he had tried one of the powders
upon a dog, which it had killed. Gallagher
believed that these powders were injurious
to the health of the men, and that William
E. Grfliths was made so sick thereby that
his life was despaired of.
Another affidavit is made by j. H. Ford
Pinkerton detective. He sets forth that
on Dec. he card Gallagher and Davidson
inquire of Beatty when they were to be
paid for their services in administering the
powders, and the latter replied that he
thought Dempsey would settle as soon as
he received the money.

money collected during the year, which

report has been delayed, but on Monday
the excess money due these liquor
dealers was paid over and the amounts

the state receives nothing from liquor

He WnS Tired of Life.

A Polander named Stephen Lucas,
living near Pittston, attempted to kill
himself on Monday night by shooting
himself twice in the head and once in
the chest. He committed the deed in a
barn and was unconscious when found
in which condition he was at last ac-
counts. The physician in charge has
some hopes of his recovery.
He had acted strangely for several
days before he comitted the deed. The
bullets were of a large calibre and in
flicted ugly wounds.

as large as last years and the average
price 804 cents. Cotton exports were
100000 pounds less and the average
1923 cents. Oil exports were 65,0o0,00o
gallons, but the price was l cent lower.
A good sign is that exports of minor pro-
ducts are on the whole nearly as large
this year in September as they ever have
been. Imports last month were $72,993,-
023 in value.
The reports from Chicago serves this
week to indicate that the tone Of business
in the west is very satisfac-
tory. Merchandise sales in the lead
ing lines are good, real estate dealing
however, amounting to over $3,000,000,
and bank clearings go per cent larger than
last year. At the east business has been
more active since the great celebration,
and in volume never equalled. Thete
tile manufacturers continue the extraordi-
nary activity previously described in
these reports. The iron industry feels
the stimulus of increasing demand and
that market is stronger, as is also the cop

TINE LAST FlsisEIy Ell.
THE COAL STRIKE.
Inside Facts About the CcrriIl0s Tie
up-NG Coal i'll Town The M0ncro
output Short Also.

The strike among coal miners at Ger
rillos continues and as the Monero coal
banks, up on the narrow gauge, are un-
able to meet the numerous demands for
fuel, the situation is becoming somewhat
critical. In fact Il coal famine is already
on and the outlook is not propitious for
early relief
At the CerrilIos coal banks about 1C0
miners are at work in the district where
the small veins abound, that is, the three
and four foot veins, and here the miners
receive 75 and so cents ton for extract
ing the black diamonds.
The men out on strike ARE forty in
number who have been employed on the
main coal vein. which is six feet thick.
The Cerrilos Coal & Iron company has
been at great expense in widening the
workings on this main vein, timbering
same and laying tram-car tracks. and it
is contoHded that with these improved
facilities the miners in these pits can
earn Gs good wages on a basis of 60 cents
ton ascan the miners working on the
smaller veins at the old price of - and
80 cents per ton. A few days ago it was
announced that cut of Is cents would be
made, reducing the wages of the men on
the main vein to go cents ton. This
the men refused to accede to and quit
work.
On this account the product of the Ger
rillos mines has been cut down nearly
one-half, and hence the shortage in coal
here and at other points which rely chief
ly on the Cerrillos mines.
Up to yesterday it was thought the San
Luis Valley Coal & Coke company would
be able to meet Santa Fe's requirements
by shipping its Monero product in over
the narrow gauge, but there il some
hitch in this, and no coal from that
source is expected for at least a week, if
then. What the difficulty at Monero is
can not now be learned. Supt. Helm, of
the Santa Fe Southern line, left this
morning for Monero to confer in person
with the coal company, he having failed
to get any satisfaction out Of them by
letter and wire.

STATE OF TRADE.
No Clouds on tho Business Horizon

New YORK, Oct. OR. G. Dun d Co. s
weekly review of the trade says: There
is still no cloud in the business trade.
All home trade of enormous volume, max
ing an aggregate of bank exchanges out
side of New York thus far in October
never equalled in the same month of pre-
vious years. Prices are low but mer-
chants are pressing for more business at
the same rates. All domestic industries
are crowded with orders and workmen as
a rule, fully employed, many being
pushed to overtime by urgent demands
resulting from an unprecedented distribu-
tion of goods. Money is fairly supplied
and there is reason to hope that some re-
turn of gold from Europe is not far dis
tant. Exports in September were but
$62, ,949,526 in value, a great decline, due
mainly to the fact that last years move
ment was far beyond all precedent. Ship
ments of wheat are little more than half

COLUMBIAN ECHOES.
ChicagOans at the Fair GrOunds--A
Pan Republic Suggestion
Lutherans Celebrate.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The last day of the
great Chicago celebration has dawned and
the undreds of thousands here are seek
ing every possible means of egress from
the city. Chicago makes the claim now
that it had more strangers in its midst
than attended the New York festivities.
At any rate both cities were crowded far
beyond their capacity during the respect
i've celebration. To-day, the great events
are the dedication of the state buildings.
The New York structure will have as its
great orator, Archbishop Corrigan. The
archbishop takes more than ordinary in
terest in this subj ject. During the past
winter he went to the Bahamas, which
are included in his New York archdiocese,
and remained there as the guest of Sir
Patrick Shea, the governor general at
Nassau, New Providence. While there he
paid visit to San Salvador, supposed to
be the first land discovered by Columbus
in the Western Hemisphere. The Ohio
building will also be dedicated as well as
many other state buildings. DR.. Chauncey
M. Depew and Governor Flower are also
expected to speak.

first Sunday in the fifth century since the
discovery of America and the PanRepub
lie Congress organizing committee and
the Human Freedom league have sent out
a request that the pastors of all the
different churches will take as their text

liberty bell for Independence hall in Phi
ladelphia: peace on EARTH good will

words were added to those originally cast: |
proclaim liberty throughout all the land
to all the inhabitants thereof" They also
request that every editor makes this
liberty bell text the subject of a discov- /
cry day editorial and that copy of
every sermon or address delivered, and of
every editorial published that day, be
sent to William o. Mcdowell, secretary, |
Lincoln park, Newark, N. j., in order that

them carefully bound and preserved for
future generations. They will be ex-
hibited in the government building at the
