MORB WAR TALK.
Russia's Actions are Giving
Austria Uneasiness,
Notwithstanding the Peaceable
Assurances.

Russian Troops Along the Polish Frontier
for Hostilities Against Either Austria
or Germany-Just Which One is Not
Positively Known Now.
VIENNA. March 23.-The Austrian
government is greatly disturbed by the
attitude of the military men in Russian
Poland.
General Gourko, acting it is presumed,
under orders from st. Petersburg, ap-
pears to be making preparations for hos
tilities against some power whether
Austria or Germany, is not apparent.
The Geferses of Warsaw are being
strengthened, and householders have
been notified of the number of soldiers
each house will have to accommodate IN
the event of Russian army taking up
headquarters in the city.
Persons whose loyalty is questioned,
are expelled from Warsaw and other
Polish cities, and some are deported to
Siberia.
Extraordinary Vigilance.
The guards on the frontier have been
reinforced, and fortified camps have
been established at convenient points
for sudden movement in the direction
of either Prussia or Austria.
Large bodies of troops are in con-
tinual motion, and altogether the situa-
ton is calculated to stimulate anxiety
both at Vienna and Berlin.
General Gourke returned short time
ago from a personal conference with the
cZar, and preparations have been in
creased since he came back to his COM
mand.
1t is said that in the event of Euro
pean war, the Russian infantry could
use the old Berdan rifles with smokeless
powder, as the magazine rifles now be-
ing manufactured in France will not be
ready for another year at the very earli-
est.
A great deal of "war talk" is rife
amongst the military elements in all
parts of the Russian empire which is
particularly directed against Germany.
Gigantic Maneuvers.
The Russian military maneuvers dur
ing the present year will be on gigantic
scale. The forces engaged will consist
of the Guard and the First Army corps
from st. Petersburg, the Grenadier
corps, and the Thirteenth Army
corps from Moscow, the Ninth and
Tenth Army corps from Charkoff, and
the Eleven and Twelfth Army corps
from Kieff.
The troops from the two mentioned
districts will form under the command
of General Obrutschotf, chief of the Rus
sian headquarters staff, the eastern army
while the remaining half will con-
stitute the western army, under General
Dragoniroff. To each army will be add
ed four cavalry divisions, making a
grand total of two hundred thousand OF
all rank.
Apparently Doubted.
The Russian ambassador is said to
have given assurances to Austria that
there is no hostile intention on the part
of the Russians in the extraordinary
military movements in Poland; but the
Austrian government is not, for that
reason, ceasing to take vigorous precau-
tions against sudden attack. General
Krieghammer, at Cracrow, has been or
dered to maintain increased vigilance,
and the troops throughout Galicia have

ARE SHIPPING STEEL.

Railroads Carrying Away Large Quantities
OF Finished Steel From the HON estead
MilIs-shipments Are Increasing Daily
Statement of Freight Agent.
People in general have been wondering
whether the Carnegie Steel Company has
been shipping away material. The
Amalgamated people have been stating
the non-union men could not turn out good
material and that the product of the mills
had to be thrown into the scrap pile. In
direct contradiction of this, however, large
quantities of stuff are being shipped from
the Homestead mills. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company say their shipments are
increasing constantly.
Secretary Lovejoy, when questioned yes-
terday concerning the matter, said: 1.-THE
Carnegie Steel Company is shipping fin
ished products from the Homestead mill
every day, and have been doing SO for
several days. The shipments are made up
of different shapes in iron and steel,
but the principal product sent away is
boiler plate. What the quantity Is and its
destination do not care to say, as do not
think it is matter of public interest,
neither do 1 wish to state what roads the
shipments are being made over, as o pressure
may be brought upon the railroad company
to stop the traffic"
Samuel L. Seymour. division freight
agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, said
last evening: 1.-THE Carnegie Steel Company
are shipping material from Homestead and
in large quantities, too They have been
sending stuff by freight from Homestead
for several days past and their business Is
constantly increasing. do not care to say
anything more upon the subject outside Of
this. If had the permission of the Car
negie Steel Company I could give the num-
Der of cars sent out of Homestead and their
destination.

AFRAID OF FIRE
Center Avenue Property Holders Have
Serious Grievance.

Center Avenue Property Holders Have a
Serious Grievance.
The residents Of Center avenue, between
Fulton and Erin streets, have a grievance
In consequence there is general COM
plant, and steps are likely to be taken
soon for relief About three weeks ago the
paving of the street was torn up from curb
to curb except between the rails of one
track. 1t was the intention to at once re-
pave the street with block stone, but the
new rails of the electric branch of the
Central Traction Company did not
arrive when expected. 1t is
the purpose to lay them with
the new pavement and therefore the work
OF repaving has been delayed until the
rails arrive. The block stones are piled on
the sidewalks, the roadway is dug up and
the street is almost impossible.
The residents dread fire and fear that
should one break out the consequences
would be serious. as the apparatus of the
fire department could not get on the street.
Assistant Chief Steel of the Fire Depart
ment, also expects trouble should there be
q fire on the street.

PUT In A VERY WEARY DAY.

Anticipated an Attack.

General Wiley Denies the Rumor That He
Anticipated an Attack.
HOMESTEAD, PA, July 3O.-Every man
encamped on Carnegie hill from the dignl-
fed General Wylie down to the ebon tinted
regimental chef put in most un-
pleasant day yesterday. Early in the
morning an energetic thunder storm trans
formed the grass-carpeted slopes into a
waste of sticky, yellow mud, and in var
ious other ways played havoc with the camp
and its people. 1t rained at frequent in
tervals all day.
As natural result of the prevailing un-
pleasantness out of doors the majority of
the soldiers remained in their tents and de-
voted their energies to the hopeless task of
keeping dry.
General Wiley and the members of his
staff spent the day in the little brown
school house, and with the aid of cigars and
newspapers managed to spend fairly profit
able day. About the only work the Gen.
eral did was to deny with deal OF energy
the silly story that Camp Black was to be
attacked by the mill men and that he had
prepared to give the invaders a lively re-
ception.
"There is absolutely not a word of truth
wish could get my hands on the man who
started it, Then the General went on to
say that it was the dullest and most un-
eventful day in the history of Camp Black,
and that he had not even a shred
of news to give out On account
of prevailing moisture the regimental
inquiry at the tent of the Provost Mar
shall revealed nothing new. The camp
police had little or nothing to do

VIII Hold Services in the Homestead Mills
This Morning.
The Carnegie Company now claims to
have over /, 900 men at work in the Home
stead mills. 1t is expected there will be
1,500 men ready to go to work tomorrow
and every department will be started. Sec
retary Loveioy said yesterday: "We will
soon have the Homestead mill
running full blast A large
number of men were put into the works
yesterday from all directions. At least so
of the old men are back, and the new men
are more intelligent class than those we
had before. We are perfectly satisfied
with the work they are doing
"As soon as we get a few more men at
Homestead We will start to operate the other
mills. We will not have as much trouble
starting the Union and Beaver Falls mills
because the ice will have beer broken as
well as the strike. / feel sure many of the
old men will return to work this week,
None of the new men will be turned out to
give old men their jobs as long as they work
satisfactorily, which they are doing now"
A thousand programmes for religious SER
vices were sent to the mills yesterday. A
chaplain has been secured and one of the
big mills will be turned into church.
Joseph A. Ouhralka, Superintendent of
the Watson Detective Bureau, of st. Louis,
was in Pittsburg yesterday and said he was
going to bring 400 non-union men to Home
stead. They will not come through Pitts
burg.

question about Berkman Bauer said that
he met him at Knold's house and that he
was printer looking for work.
Detective William Shore testified to hay-
ing conversation with knold on Tuesday
last and asked him how Berkman came to
know Mr.. Frick and Knoll replied that he
only knew him from picture printed In an
illustrated paper which was at his house.
Knold told the witness that Bauer
had several meetings with Berkmau
and one night Berkman and Bauer were out
until II o'clock. Knold said that one night
he received and receipted for a
special delivery letter for Berk-
man. This letter Knold admitted
to have opened, but said that he could
not read it as it was written in Russian and
the only thing he could make out was Herr

This ended the testimony, and Attorney
Friedman asked for the release of the pris-
oners, as he could not see that any con-
spiracy had been proven or that they were
guilty as accessories.
Alderman Gripp did not look at it in that
light He thought the evidence was suffi-
cient to hold them. He fixed the bail on

DIDN'T LIKE The FARM.

A Pretty westmoroIand Miss Deserts Her
Home for the Third Time-aer Father
AnxiousIy Searching for Her-Probably
Have to Go to a Reformatory.
Martha Kisler, a girl of only IL years,
whose parents live on . farm near Smith
town, Westmoreland county, left home
Friday afternoon and her whereabouts are
still unknown. 1t was learned through the
ticket agent and conductor of the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad that the girl bought a
ticket and boarded a train for Pittsburg.
Her father was here last night searching
for her, with the assistance of the police
department, but returned home without any
further information in regard to his
daughter.
1t was learned after his departure that,
in order to pay her expenses, the girl had
gone to Mrs. Yeiglerwiz and borrowed So,
pretending that her father wanted the
money to pay a doctor to prescribe for her
mother who was lying sick.
Miss Martha evidently did not enjoy life
on the farm, as this is the third effort she
has made to get from under the parental
roof, and each previous time has been
brought back by her father. Two months
ago she ran away and was caught at West
Newton. She had remained at home
month wien she again escaped, going to
McKeesport. This time Mr.. Kisler decided
to have her sent to the reformatory. He
took her to the Office of q magistrate
for that purpose, but the girl
wept so bitterly and promised
and begged so piteously that the father re-
Tented and decided to try her once more.
The girl was again taken home and be-
baved we'll enough for awhile, except that
she would remain all day when sent to
Smithtown on an errand.
Martha Kisler is rather pretty girl of
light complexion, wears black strew hat
with blue flower in the trimming, black
dress waist, large light apron, new slippers
and black stockings ANY one who has any
information concerning the girl is requested
to notify Andrew Kisler, Smithtown, West
moreland county, Pa.
