THE JURY'S VERDICT.
The CorOutr's jury Completes Its Inquest
on the Dead strikers snd Pink
ertou Men.

PITTsBuRG. Aug. 3-The coroner today
continued the inquest on the seven
strikers and three PinkertOn guards
killed during the Homestead riots, and
after being out an hour the jury returned
with a verdict. The returns in the case
Of the seven strikers were the same. In
the case of Sims Vain the jury found
that he had been killed by a missile
from a cannon while in an unlawful as
sembly which was trying to prevent the
landing of the Pinkerton guards sent to
protect Carnegie's property. In the ease
of the PinkertOns the jury found that Y.
j. Connors was fatally wounded while
employed to guard the property Of Car
negie. The shooting was done by a
party or parties unknown, with felonious
intent. The verdict recommends that
the said unlawful assemblages be certified
to the grand jury at its next session.
No attempt was made by the jury in n
of the ten cases TO designate the persons
by whom the fatal shots were fired.

noted for his affability of manner, and

stowal of her gifts.
Mr.. McComas was born in Washing
ton county, Md, of Scotch-Irish parents,
Oct. 2S, 1876. He attended the neigh
borhood schools and entered Dickinson
college, from which he was graduated
in 1866. Mr.. McComas then decided to
adopt the law rs n profession, and after
a W years course of reading in Hag-
erstown was admitted to the bar in
1868. Fortune smiled upon the young
lawyer, and he soon built mp Il lucrative
practice. His eloquence attracted the
attention Of the politicians Of the dis
trict, and in 1875 Mr.. McComas received
the Republican congressional nomina-
ton. He vas beaten. but in 1889 he
was elected, and was reelected in 1884
6-s. In 1890 he was defeated by Mr.. Nc
kaig, the Democratic candidate. 1t is
an interesting fact that Mr.. McComas'
wife. and even his children, are ardent
ly Democratic in their sympathies, ex-
cept of course when their relative is a
candidate.

CONGRESSIONAL.
House.

WASHINGTON, August THE session
of the house today from II o'clock until
/ o'clock was an important and interest
ing one. although at times exciting 1t
was interesting in that a resolution was
adopted making today suspension day.
| 1t was important that another resolu-
ton was agreed to extending the sundry
civil appropriations until August 10, and
still another sending the sundry civil
appropriated bill to a conference and
taking up the proposition to grant 3d.
100000 to aid in the great exposition.
The Duburrow bill was considered in the
committee of the whole and but little
attention was paid to the discussion, it
being known that no vote of a final char
acter could be taken tomorrow. The de-
bate which ranged from the tariff and
silver questions to the questions of the
sale of intoxicating liquors in the capitol
received little hearing. No final action
was taken.
The minority of the house committee
on public lands today submitted their
views on the Yellowstone park investiga-
ton. In the report they take the ground
that Secretary Noble acted with fairness
and business in annulling the t%ranspor-
tatioD leases. and that Mr.. Gibson acted
in a false and deceitful manner in his
relation with the secretary. n most bit
ter attack is made on Mr.. Gibson by the
minority. while Russell Harrison's con
~ncction with the company is defended in
strong terms. Referring to it the mi
nority ccuse the majority Of going out
of its way in what it characterizes as an
attempt to smirch the son of
the president by the use of some
credentials in evidence. The facts are:
1t says that a certain party interested in
the park association assuming that Mr..
Harrison would use his influence, with
the unknown. to secretary of the interior
to be appointed. proposed to induce Har-
to use such supposed influence for
the benefit of the association and remun-
crate him with fifty shares of the capital
stock. But the stock was never issued.
The minority holds Harrison was never
requested except by Waters to use his
influence and there was no need that he
should do SO. The whole thing was evil

Am tzing Tests Made of Arrnor Plate AT

BETHLEHEM. Pa. Aug. THE first
armor-plate tests on the proving grounds
of the Bethlehem Iron company was
made today. The plate was lOis inches
Harveyized nickel steel plate. SxG, and
weighing $4,000 pounds. The plate was
tempered by the ice-water process. Five
shots from an eight-inch ritled gun were
fired into the plate-four into the cor
Lers and the fifth into the center. Each
projectile pierced about three inches, re.
bounded and broke into bits. Not a
crack developed on the plate. The
success of the test surpassed the ex-
pectancy of all present. The comparison
with former trials shows that this plate
received a total energy of 2j,0i0 foot
tons. fully 20 per cent greater than the
sustained at the former trials at
Indian Head, and yet is far less injured.

ST. PAUL, August 3-The alliance
executive committee met at the Mer-
chants hotel at $50 this morning but
did not get out the address that had
been expected. Gen. Baker in an inter

to get it out as they expected to expend
considerable care in it's preparation.
When it IS out it will call upon members
Of the alliance to stand by the original
constitution Of the order and preserve
the organization intact by avoiding
politics. The first thing the committee
did after the meeting came to order was
to withdraw the electoral ticket com
posed OF X. j. Hall and G. NJ. Sprague.
The bills Of the organization were then
all paid and the members left the room
free from all obligations, financial or
political. The only part OF the ~organiza-
ton remaining 10 the central committee
