A Fugitive from Justice In Pennsylvania,

Wounds Another-IIis IIarbor of ~"ruge
Fired-Rather Than Full Into the LANDS
of His Pursuers, He Commits Suicide.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. s.-A most
tragic and sensational event occurred
at Noblestown, this county, Saturday
afternoon. Martin Reed, who killed
Alexander Chapel at the Washington
county fair last fall by giving him

Mcdonald, came to the assistance of
McWilliams. y e = ~
A battle ensued, in which McWilliams
was wounded. Coyle volunteered to
capture the desperate man.. He walked
to the door but as soon as he opened it
he was shot dead by Reed. A big
crowd gathered, they were frcnzied
with rage. Dynamite was placed un-
der the barn and the end torn off
Still Reed refused to show himself and
no one dared enter the building.
Coal oil was then procured by the
mob and poured on the barn, which
was soon Il mass of flames. As the fire
reached the spot where Reed was con-
cealed two pistol shots rang out and it
was known the double murderer had
killed himself. The crowd was frantic
at being unable to lynch him and his
body was cremated in the burning
barn.
Reeds body was recovered soon after
ward burned to a crisp, but showing
the bullet hole in his head.
The crime for which Reed was con-
victed and sentenced to hang was the
murder OF Alexander Chapel. Chap

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 8-Mr. Oates
ceport on the Homestead trouble, which
was suppressed by the full committee
IN the ground that it did not cover al
the grounds of the investigation, says
that had Mr.. Frick stated the bottom
Facts to the committee they would have
agreed that the proposition to reduce
wages was justiiable, but they took
+ issue with him In his conclusions that
;he tariff did not cause decline in
prices. -. !
Mr.. Oates is persuaded that II Mr..
Frick had appealed to the reason Of the
employees and shown them the state of
the company's affairs the reduction
might have been made and no trouble
would have sfoll6wed.h The Penn
sylvania law ] contains nothing to
prevent Mr.. Frick from employ
ing Pinkerton fmen j as watchmen
1t Homestead, but Mr.. Oates con-
aemns their employment under the
circumstances. The company did not
appeal to the county or state author
tiles in the first instance for protection
Mr.. Oates condemns as unlawful the
acts of the worImen in turning away
the sheriff and in hanging in effigy
Messrs. Frick and Potter. He says it
was the purpose of the amalgamatcd
association to prevent the employment
Of non-union men, and he declares that
no organization has right to enforce
it's wishes by strength and defiance of
law. The men had no legal right to
resist the coming of tho Pinkertons
and are answerable to the Pennsyl-
vania courts.
In concluslon, Mr.. Oates finds that
congress has no power over the ques-
lions involved. The enactment of a
satisfactory arbitration law is we'll
nigh impossible. AS to whether con-
gress has the power to regulate or sup
press Pinkcrtonism, Mr.. Oates says he
has no conclusion to express until the
completion of the session next session.

Did Not Require Bail.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. s.-The ono
Pinkerton man who was arrested was re-
leased Saturday upon his own recogniz-
ance. The lawyers for the Homestead
men could not offer sufficient evidence
to induce the judge to require bail. The
other Pinkertons against whom inform

selves and he released in the same man.

Prime, one of the Pinkerton men on the

uel1Ver 10 GneSe men the government OF
the counties of the state.
We demand that this condition of
things be rectified. We denounce all
bounties and exemptions and demand
that all taxes to be raised in this state
shall be as nearly equal as may be, and
that all property on which taxes are to
be levied shall have a cash valuation and
be equalized and uniform, and we call
upon all good citizens, without distinc-
ton to party, to join with us in defeat
ing the proposed constitutional amend
ment, known as chapter 2, of the Gen
eral Laws of 1891, to be voted upon this
fall, which seeks to perpetrate this
unjust system of taxation, and while it
pretends to levy taxes upon sleeping
car and other similar corporations, it
repeals the existing constitutional tax
OF per cent upon gross earnings of our
railroads, DOW realizing for the state a
revenue of S725,OO0 and annually in
creasing, and places the rate of taxa
ton upon the earnings of such railroads
at the caprice of the legislature.
We especially call attention to and
proposed amendment to be voted on at
the coming election, which is known as
''Senate File No. 1884," as being especial
ly designed to mislead the voters, and
we call upon all honest citizens to as
sist in rebuking such trickery.
Resolved, That we are in favor of a
radical change in the laws of this state,
and demand such legislation as will
provide for intelligent and economical
supervision of the building and main
tenance of our country roads.
That for the better security of our
government we recommend an amend
ment to the federal constitution extend
ing the presidential term to six years
and making a president ineligible for
reelection.
We favor also the election of presi-
dent and ice-president and sena,
tors of the United States by the direct
vote of the people.
After adoption of platform a resolu-
tom was introduced denouncing con-
tract labor in the penitentiary, which
was unanimouslY accepted.
