 PITrsBuRo, July i9-John McLnclne, burgess or chief municipal officer of Home stead, is confined in one ot the cells of the county jail. Telegrans are being sent 10 dozen points between here and New York seeking the aid of th2 police authorities for the arrest of Hugh ODonuoll, the leader of the strikers, and warrants arc in the hands of officers of the law for seven other promi- nent participants in the troubles at Home stead, and who are but the vanguard of A small army of strikers that it is proposed to bring before the bar of the law.
 The intention of the Carnegie company to institute criminal proceedings against the Homestead leaders in the event of the county authorities failing to take oogui- zance of the recent riot was carried into ef- feet much quicker than had been antici- pated, or than the authorities at the axecn- tive office, who feared the effect of pre- mature publication of their intentions, vere willing to intimate The preliminary stages of the proceedings were conducted with considerable secrecy.
 Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie oom- pany, sauntered leisurely into the office of Alderman ]. V. McMaster at Diamond and Grant streets. He was unacoompanied, and by peculiar coincidence nobody but the alderman was in the office at the time, the constahles attached to the place being be- hind the closed doors of the anteroom. II lay informations against a number of men, charging the crime of murder, and the alder man proceeded to draw up the papers. Charged with Murder.
 The information set forth that in Mifiin township, in the county of Alleghany and state of Pennsylvania, on July c, the de- fendants did, of their own malice afore- thought, feloniously and riotously, with force of arms and deadly weapons, kill aud murder T. ]. Connors, Pinkerton watch man, and Silas Wayne, n worker at the mills, and that this information was made upon information received and believed to be true by the deponent, who therefore prayed that warrants might issue and that | the men to be nsined might be arrested and held on the charge Of murder
 When this document had heon drawn up the alderman suggested that it would be better to have two informations, one relat- | ing to the killing of Connors and the other to that of Wayne, and a second paper was accordingly made out Secretary Lovejoy then named as the men accused Hugh | O'Donnell, John McLuokie, Sylvester Critchlow, Anthony Flaherty, Samuel Burkett, Jame Flannigan and Hugh Ross In one information the name of ODonnell stood first, while in the other it stood second. When the papers had been com pleted Secretary Lovejoy listened to the reading of the oath, kissed the Bible, ap- pended his signature to the informations, buttoned his sack coat, shook hands with the justice and sauntered out of the office as leisurely and to all outward appearances as free from care and anxiety as he had en- tered half hour before.
 | McLuckIs Locked Up.
 No time was lost by Magistrate McMas- ten in making out the fourteen warrants, | and they were intrusted to Constahles Jo- seph Weber, w. J. Morris and Mike I. Price, who at once left for Homeetead. On their arrival they made known their busi. ness to General Snowden, who referred them to Colonel Green, in command of the provost guard. The latter detailed two companies of soldiers to accompany the con. stables and the latter visited the houses of all the men wanted, but without result Not one of them was at home and most of ths residences were locked.
 When the officers returned to this city they were surprised to And that Burgesa McLuckie had gotten out of town while they were searching for him and had alrendy surrendered himself to the alderman. He was in the office iu company with Attorney Brennan of the Amalgamated association, and several friends. The warrant was served upon him, and to the magistrate he said that he had already sent word to the other men who were wanted to come back into town and surrender
 Alderman McMasters committed the bur. 1 gess to the county iAil without ball nanaina
