THINK HE WAS POISONED
Death of One More OF the Carnegie
Employees.

ELtH flOJ U.s.
PITTsBURG. Dec. 15.-No effort was
made today to have Robert J. Beatty,
the alleged poisoner of Carnegie'S non
union employees, released on bail. His
counsel, w. j. Brennan, has de
cded to take no further steps
in the matter until Monday afternoon,
when Beatty viii be given hearing.
The defense will endeavOr to force the
prosecution to show its hand at the pre-
liminary hearing. Failing to secure
the freedom of his client through i'll
sufficient evidence en- the part of the
prosecution, Mir. Brennan will make
an effort 10 have him admitted to
bail. Attorney Beck said today that no
new informations had been made in
connection with the poisoning plot, but
intimated that number of warrants Will
soon be issued for those accused of
completely in the plot. The names of
the suspected parties the Carnegie at
torney very naturally refused to di-
yulge.
Master Workman Dempsey, of Dis
trict Assembly No. 3, K. of H., held Il
long conference with his attorney, l..
K. Porter. today At the conclusion of
the conference both lawyer and client
refused to make any statement for pub
llcation. All efforts to locate Patrick
Gallagher, the Homestead cook. who,
in an affidavit made before Aid. Nc
Masters, cOnfesses to having admin
istered poison to nOn-uniOniStS III the
Homestead mill, and who sWear5 that
Hugh Dempsey, Robert Beatty and
others were parties to the plot, have been
without success. Capt. Beck. as we'll as
the Pinkerton detectives, claim that
they can put their hands on Gallagher
at any time, and that when it becomes
necessary for the prosecution to do so
Gallagher will be produced. 1t is now
certain that those interested in the
prosecution have Gallagher under cover
in order to keep MIN out of the hands of
newspaper reporters.
Another eInplOye of the Carnegie
Steel company has died and his friends
are fearful that he was victim of the
poisoning plot. Joseph Springer, who
resided near Clinton, a little town on
the Montour branch of the Pittsburg u
Lake Erie railway, went to
Homestead and secured position as
laborer. A few days ago he returned
to his home broken down IN health. lie
could retain nothing on his stomach.
He grew rapidly worse until Yesterday,
when he died of what was pronounced
hemorrhage of the bowels. DR.. Bling
ham. of Clinton, attended Springer. SO
firmly convinced are the dead mars
friends that death resulted from poison
that they have decided to notify the
coroner and insist upon thorough and
searching investigation.

PROFITS VS.. PROPHETS.

The apprehenslve tone Of the presI-
dents message relating to the rejection
of the policy of his party furnishes a
faint measure of the general apprehen-
sion of coming disaster in case OF Demo
cratic success honestly entertained by
many, and purely the product of the
calamity bowling of Republican papers
and speakers. These were voluminous
and lurid in their prophecies of wreck
and ruin. The shops and mills would
be closed up, and the poor workingmen,
for whom that party had been so loug
aboring, would be turned adrift on
pitiless world. With the closing of the
mills would come the ruin of merchants
and closing of the stores, while the
great army of the unemployed would
turn agriculturists and bring down the
temple of that industry in the general
ruin by the weight of an over-produc-
ton of cereals. SO much for the proph-
cts.
1t is barely six weeks since the cleo
ton in which the majority very deci-
sively said that they would chance the
disasters and have 4 change. 1t is ten
weeks before the administration thus
changed can have power to act But the
fact that the changeiS coming is already
producing its effects. Much to the cha
grin of the prophets of evil, these effects
are the reverse of their predictions.
Except ali incipient tin-plate mill,
whose construction IS reported as given
Up because it is certain that the people
will not be taxed to support it, there
has been no closing of mills or shops.
There have occurred none of those
preparations Tor storm which prudent
men would take if they believed one
coming. On the contrary, if there is
any change in the general business
conditions, they are for the better. Cot
ton mills of New England announce
advances of wages Of Z per cent; mills
in the Middle states advance wages;
others are starting up after a suspen-
sion; new mills are being built. Thus
does the industry of the country make
answer to the forebodings of a class of
men who, caring only to retain power,
sought to hold it by appealing 10
the fears of the people instead of to
their intelligence. Thus the profits an

He Is Found Guilty Of Mur-

Degree.
Twelve Other Men IMPLICATED
With the Convicted
Murderer.
Another Supposed Victim Of
the Alleged Homestead
Poisoning Plot.

ALPENA, Mich, Dec. 16.-The Jury
in the famous Molitor murder cases
brought ina verdict this morning find
ing August Grossman guilty of killing
Albert Moltor and Sullivan, his book
keeper. At 9:l5 O'Clock last night the
jury retired to consider its verdict,
after weeks trial of the case.
At 7:40 o'cloct. this morning Judge
Kelly was telephoned that the jury
had agreed upon verdict, and at
Q O'Clock they were brought into court
to report. GrOssman and his wife sat
just below the jury box. No look on his
face would have led person to believe
that his life's liberty was in the balance,
and the next few moments would decide
his fate. When the jury had been
called, ana the foreman, Thomas
Walker, arose to render their decision,
Cheeseman's hands went down on to
the arms of his chair and glanced
around. Mr.. Walker announced:
Guilty of murder in the first degree"
Mr.. Cheeseman's color left his face, and
he sat like one bereft of life and speech.
His Wife's head sank down upon her
breast for moment, and then her head
raised, and her eyes were filed with
tears while she looked up at her nus
band. The prisoner was remanded to
the custody of the sheriff.
To Await Sentence.
Cheeseman's counsel announced that
the case would be Immediately carried

Last night hundreds of people waited
for hours to hear from the jury, but one
by one went home only to return to the
court house at all early hour today.
At s o'clock this morning, when
it was learned that the Jury
had come to decision, great excitement
prevailed and the court yard was filled
with people anxious to hear the verdict.
Very few people thought that Grossman
would be convicted, the majority eX-
pecting verdict of not guilty. This
verdict now only effects GrosSman, but
without doubt settles the fate of all tine
OF er twelve men implicated.
The famous murder occurred at ROg-
ers City in 1876. when the country
thereabOuts was wilderness. Moitor
had gathered about him a large colony
of foreigners to help carry OH his vast
numbering operations in Pressure Isle
county. His dealings with these
people, which they declared were
tyranncal and unjust, aroused them
and one night party gathered
at Molitor's office. and shot him and his
bookkeeper, Sullivan. to death. Several
attempts had been made to bring to
trial the members of this party, but no
success was had until recently, when
one of them named Reptke confessed
and implicated his comrades.

STICK TO THE FACTS.

If our esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune, wishes to continue the dis
cussion Of the ballot law with effect, it
must stick to the fact and not go ro-
mancing or substituting for the truth
its own naked and unsupported asSer-
tiOns. In It's latest reply to the argu-
ment of the GLOBE it says that 1.-THE
patent device to which the GLOBE
clings" is one (which the people of
Minnesota tried two years ago and then
threw away as Quack fraud" With the
slight exceptions that there was no
patent on the device, that the device
was never tried and that 1.-The people of
Minnesota never threw it away, the
statement apprOXimates accuracy.
The device suggested the use of the
names of the different parties at the
head of the ticket, a mark opposite one
Of which would indicate the voters wish
TO vote for all the candidates of the
party deSignated-was never tried at all
in this state. The former law per
mitted voter to express his wish to
vote a straight ticket by marking the
name of the first candidate of his party,
but it hampered him by requiring that
Ii he marked the name of any subse-
quent candidate of any other party, ne
must then mark the names of all the
candidates of his own party for whom
he wished to vote.
This bungling device was discarded.
not by ''the people Of Minnesota" but
by the house of representatives, which
adopted i'll its place exactly the device
described by the GLOBE. If the house
of representatives is 1.-The people of
Minnesota" then the people threw
away very nearly such a plan as the
Tribune defends.
The TACT is that it was a coterie of Re-
publican senators. and not 1.-THE people
of Minnesota" who forced on the state
the present DISTINGUISHING act. The
principle OF the law was obnoxious to
them. 1t had operated generally in in
creaSlng Democratic majorites. The
turn over in Minneapolis was attributed
TO it, and representative from that
city thanked God that he had not voted
for the bill. At the last session the
coterie thought to defeat the bill sent
over to the senate by loading it down
With amendments, which they hoped
the house would reject, and in the dis
agreement the bill would be lost. Rather
than lose the bill, the house accepted
the amendments, trusting to another
legislature to restore its original feat

COULDN'T RESIST THE HAM
Expulsion for a Rabbi for Eating
Pork

New YORK, Dec. 1G.-Rev. Heymann
Rosenberg, rabbi in charge of Temple
Beth Jacob. in Keap street, near South
Fourth street, Williamsburg. was ex-
PEELED at meeting OF the congregation,
after having been convicted of violating
a rule of the orthodox Jewish religion
by eating pork. Rabbi Rosenberg did
not attend the meeting, and the vote to
dismiss him was practically unanimous.
The session was an animated one, for
the occupied rabbi was warmly de-
Tended by Louis Jackson and
Louis Pevser, both of whom are
influential members of the cOngrega-
ton. President Lewis Schwartz, it is
said, made the charge against the rabbi,
and was the principal witness against
him. The evidence showed that Rabbi
Rosenberg had attended the opening of
a saloon on North Second street, Thurs
day last, and had so far forgotten him.

Some of the Aspirants for Posi-

There are at least four candidates for
chief clerk of the lower house of the
legislature at tine coming session. They
are S. A. Phillips, of Duluth; f.
A. Johnson, of st. Paul; NJ. j.

ocratic members in proportion to the

clearly between Messrs. Phillips and
Johnson, either of whom will make
an expert and accommodating officer.
Mr.. Johnson, while at present the
political editor of the st. Paul Dispatch,
formerly resided at Albert Lea, Free
born county, where he has many warm
friends. This will naturally give him
strength in the southern part of the
state. At home in st. Paul he has the

ately for him, not very large.

from a county that has never received

Quently saving the state to the Repub-
licans. st. Louis county sends three
Republican members, the same number
as st. Paul. and they are all for Mr..
Phillips. st. Louis will have no other
candidate, by the way, which will add
greatly to the strength Of Sam" The
Mazeppa Tribune, IN speaking of Mr..
Phillips candidacy, says:
Some of the legislative members elect of
St. Louis Cook, Lake and other northern
counties in this state are presenting the
name of s. A Phillips for the position of

state that he will undoubtedly be the unani-

Mazeppaite will be its next clerk. Sam is
too well known here to allow for any doubt
as to bis ability to fill the position i'll any
other than a gentlemanly and businesslike
