GoMPERs ASSURES AID.
he Cheers Up the Homestead Strikers
O'DonnelI's WherenbOuta.

UDOnnoA's Where1bOuLos
HOMESTEAD, Aug. 8.-Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation Of
Labor, left for New York yesterday.
While here he was in conference with the
leaders of the Homestead strike for sew
eral hours. He refused to talk for publ
cation, but it is understood he assured
the officers of the local lodge of the Anal
gamated Association that the 700, DOC
members of the Federation were in line,
that the full power of the organization
will be brought to bear in behalf Of the
Homestead steel workers, and that every
member will contribute to a fund for the
benefit of the strikers.
The Federation, according to Mr.. Com
pers, will also assist in carrying out the
boycott on material manufactured by the
Carnegie Steel Company. The Knights
of Labor, too, have fallen into line, and
the men feel greatly encouraged.
Vice Chairman Crawford, of the Ad-
visory Board, stated this morning that APP
plications are coming in from all parts OF
the United States, and that quite a num-
Der of mechanics who came out on the
strike have thus found employment in
union mills elsewhere.
Fully 200 members of the National
Guard were sent home last evening. Bat
terry "B' will go to-day, while the Fifth
Regiment will probably depart for home
tomorrow.
Chaplain Adams, of the Sixteenth Regi-
ment, conducted religious services inside
the mill yesterday morning.
There has been such distrust in the
leaders owing to the continued and mys-
terious absence of Hugh O'Donnell, the
acknowledged head and front of the
Homestead strikers, that the members OF
the advisory board deemed it expedient tc
make known the leaders whereabouts.
Vice Chairman Crawford said in this
regard:
1'Hugh ODonnell is at the United State.
hotel, Boston. He is in the Hub on q
secret mission not only of great import
ance to the workingmen of Homestead but
to the laboring people all over the country
If he is successful the trouble will sooI
be at an end. Further than this I car
give you no information"
At variance with Mr.. Crawford's state
ment was the one made by Secretary Nc,
Connolly, who said: "O'Donnell is in Bos
ton on private business in no way con.
nected with the Homestead lockout"

IT Is A MYSTERY STILL
No Clew to the Murderer Of
the Bordens.
DETECTIVES ENTIRELY 1AFFLED

xt Cannot Yet BE Told whether the
Stains ON the Axe Were Made By
Blood or Rust-The New Bedford Clew
Exploded.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. S.-Tho mys-
terry surrounding the murder of Thomas
]. Borden and his wife last Thursday is
As deep as ever, and the detectives tacitly
admit they are baffied. This morning
City Marshal billiard submitted to a
long interview with a United Press re-
porter. As to the blood said to have
been found on the axe in the custody of
the police, he said:
"I don't know whether these spots are
blood or from rust. They are of a char
acter that may be taken for either, but
until the Boston chemists pass an opinion
it would be folly for me to speak. AS
told you yesterday, we have four axes in
our possession. Two are such axes as
farmers use-one is an ordinary choppiug
axe, the other is what Is called a single
axe. There my be spots of blood on
either or all of these, but to-day l cannot
say there is the slightest evidence on any
of them. There is nothing in the West
port clue reported yesterday.
'I sent men to chase it down to prove
It to myself, but after every doubtful
poinAhad been cleared up believed there
was no man travelling to New Bedford
from this city under suspicious circum-
stances.
cat this moment I can say there is
nothing to connect any members of the
family with the murder. We can reach q
certain point, but from thence forward
things will not match and we cannot
make them. A great deal has been said
about the fact that no arrests have been
made up to this time. These persons in
the house have practically been under ar
rest for the past few days. If was asked
to give a candid opinion why arrests
should not be made, would say that on
the present evidence nobody could be neld.
1t would Hbe folly for us to place this
family behind bars when so many out
sid Q clews are yet to be looked up.

HER RECOVERY IS SLOW
Mrs. Harrison,s Improvement
Not What Was Hoped For.
SHE MAY NEVER RECOVER HEALTH.

The Mountain Air at Loon Lake Has Done
Much Good, but stilR She is Far From
well--she Drives Out with the E'resi-
dent-Dr. Gardner to Return Shortly,
LOON LAKE, N. Y, Aug. 8.-This morn
ing President Harrison, Mrs. Harrison
and Mrs. Dimmick went out for a drive,
and after returning the invalid declared
she felt much better.
Mrs. Harrison still takes her meals at
she cottage. DIR. Gardner, the physician
who attended Mrs. Harrison on her ar
rival, is no longer here. He has now been
gone several days, but it is understood
that he will return in few days. There
is no getting around the fact that Mrs.
Harrison is still a very sick woman. That
she has improved to a wonderful degree
is also certain, but the newspaper reports
published saying that she was entirely
recovered are without sense and founda-
tion.
There are grave fears that Mrs. Harri-
son is not likely to be again restored to
her usual vigorous health. The disease
from which she is suffering is one of the
stomach. The first evidences of the COM
plant showed themselves at least six
years ago, when she spent the winter
months in New York city under the care
of a specialist. The treatment she then
received seemingly almost entirely re-
moved the disease, and her general health
| until a year ago, has been good.
She was one of the first of the White
House family to succumb to an attack OF
the grip. The past winter her physician
repeatedly warned her that she was ex-
| erting herself entirely too much, and ad.
vised total rest from both social and
| household duties. She kept up, how
| ever, until the day came when she was
entirely Frustrated and unable torise from
her bed.
Her illness from the start was a serious
| one and excited the most intense anxiety
on the part of her family. When she left
| for Loon Lake she was unable to walk
| unassisted more than few steps.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Secretary of
State Foster, speaking of the Pago-Pago
coaling station in Samoa, about which
there has been some newspaper discussion,
said that by a treaty or agreement with
Samoa, the United States acquired a right
to a coaling station in the harbor OF
Pago1Pago. In fact the United States had
first choice of selection of site and had
taken advantage of it and was now erect
ing wharves and docks in the harbor.
This right of the United States did not
exclude Great Britain from also having a
coaling station in the harbor. 1t only
gave the United States first choice.

ORR WILL RECOVER.
He Was Wounded by Murderer Rsed--The
Desperado's Tragic Death.


WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. SIT in
thought now that Chief of Police Orr,
who was wounded Saturday night at
Noblestown, Pa. by Murderer Martin Reed,
will recover. The body of Deputy Sheriff
Coyle, who was killed by the desperate,
was taken to Mcdonald, Pa, yesterday.
The circumstances surrounding the shoot
ing and he tragic death of the murderer
are still the all absorbing topics of discus
sion.
Reed had a speedy trial for the poison
ing of Alex Chapel, was convicted and
finally sentenced on. the 29th OF May,
1899, to be hanged. That evening he broke
Jail and took to the country, hotly pur-
sued by Sheriff William Cherry and his
deputies.
Chief of Police ). A. Orr of Washing
ton, and Deputies w. B. Mcbride and
Samuel Williamson followed him into
Beaver county, afterward getting track
of their man at Mechanicsburg, Clinton,
Bovington and Noplestown.
Saturday afternoon the officers dis
J covered the murderer in an ice house at
Noblestown.
A crowd of perhaps 1900 men, women
| and children had gathered on either hill,
watching the scene with intense interest
Twenty or thirty men and boys armed
with shot guns and Springfield rifles came
| also to help in the capture.
| At o'clock Constable Coyle, of Nc
| Donald, arrived to assist i'll the capture.
He was warned not to enter the ice
| house, but in a foolhardy way jumped
| out of his buggy and, armed with a re-
volver, ran to the door previously opened
| by Orr and threw it back on the hinges.
| He had scarcely done so when a shot
rang out, quickly followed by another.
1 10 or Ino fovx and oil
| PROSTATE, shot through the heart.
| The first shot missed, but the second
| found its mark. He was dead.
It was then that Deputy Williamson
| procured torpedo containing about two
/ quarts of nitro glycerine, lighted the fuse
| and placed it at a corner of the shed
farthest from the door where Coyle was
shot.
| It exploded with q frightful noise,
throwing planks, sod and earth high into
the air. It merely lifted a corner of the
house and was a failure.
Another man brought a can of oil,
| threw the contents on the walls and
touched it with a match.
A flame twenty feet high leaped up and
the roof and walls were afire in an in
slant.
The fire rapidly gained Roadway and
just about half the material was ablaze
when two muff1ed shots were heard and
| all was still save the cracking timbers
| At last the walls fell, and at a quarter
to 8 o'clock the body of the unfortunate
hunted murderer could be seen lying In
the ruins on its back, stretched at full
length.
A round hole was seen in the charred
skull above the left eye and the whole
top OF the skull was blown off, exposing
the brain.
The bystanders saw the evidence and
all considered it sound circumstances
proof that Reed had taken his own life
rather than be burned alive or hung.

Grover Cleveland
and the Women.

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York,
with many other well-meaning women,
formed political club lately and named
1t the "Frances Cleveland Influence CluD.
She wrote a letter to Mrs Cleveland in
forming her of this fact, and the letter
was full of patriotic sentiment: MRS
Cleveland handed the letter over to her
lord and master, aud he answered II, say
ing that he could not approve OF the use
of Mrs Cleveland's name for political
work, as the name of a wife and mother
Ia too sacred. We think that Mr. Cleve-
land could afford to let these women go
as thew please " They did not ask for his
approval, and he needs all the influence
he can get. Mr. Cleveland ought to re-
member he only represents certain ideas
that are in the public mind, and his per-
sonal likes and dislikes are of minor Inn
portance. He has often told us that the
functions of government should be con-
sidered sacred. If so, we can tell him
that it will require the refining process OF
woman's influence to make it sacred. Men
have gone it alone thus far, and there Is
nothing to day much more degrading than
politics; and the corruption fund Is grow
ing larger all the time. We think that
Mr.. ClevelA and ought to feel honored in
having, az Mrs. Ormsby expresses it, the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters OF
New York democrats enlisted in his cause.
They talk about woman's sphere,
AS though 1t had a limit;
There's not q place in earth or heaven,
There is not task to mankind given,
There is not a blessing or woe,
There's not q whisper, yes or no,
There's not a life, or death, or birth
That has feathers weight of worth,
Without woman in it.

VIsALIA, Cal, Aug. 8.-This town is
still wildly excited over the last two days
battles with the train robbers. Nearly
every able-Dodied man has joined the
sheriff's posse, and all are out hunting

he can travel forty miles day with ease
and he knews every trail and canyon.
Feeling against the robbers is so bitter
