that he could not ride il at all, and he
hired "a horse and cart. The DANA ged

and the two continued on their journey.
Along in the night the rain came down ia
buckets and the parties got of the road,
drove down an embankment, were thrown

of five days they found the animal in a

THE MILITIA ARRIVE.
The Second and Third Brigades of the Penn
sylvania National Guard Arrive
al Homestead.
Pickets Placed Around the Mills and Mar.
tial La y Declared---The Soldiers
Reception.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 12-The night
passed quietly. All Homst cad was in
holiday attire early this morning in
anticipation of the militia. It was ex-
pected the troops would arrive by
daybreak, and the people turned out
in anticipation OF that event. ready
to welcome the blue-coated represent
atives of the state with a procession,
brass bands, school children and flow
ers, but the situation became some
what ludicrous as the hours passed
and the militia did not appear. The
bands did their best TO keep up the
spirits OF the multitude with indiffer-
ent success. 1t was after 8 O'Clock
when the cry went up, "Troops COM
ing" They arrived by train from their
rendezvous at Greensbureh and con-
sisted of the second and third brigades,
numbering 5000 men under command
of Gen. Snowden, together with two
Gatling guns and three field pieces.
The sudden arrival in the absence of
the leaders OF the strikers disconnected
the programme for their reception,
and the soldiers evidently did not de
sire such treatment from the men
whom they were sent to keep in order.
They were received with perfect respect
and here and there an attempt at a
cheer was sent mp by the onlooking
populace. The troops hescenied from
he train, formed silently, marched III
perfect order and took possession OF
the mills, deploycd their artillery
across the Mouongehela, opposite the
mills and set plckets all about the
works. They settled the question Of
taking possession of the town 10y
marching one company direct to the
strikers headquarters, another to the
vicinity oil "a slight eminence overlook
| ing and commanding the commercial
center OF the town. Then Homestead
WAS in the hands of the military and
martial had succeeded the arbitrary
reign OF the advisory committee. The
| citizens OF Honest cad were desperate
| ly disappointed that the military
thought necessary to occupy the whole
town instead OF coniining themselves
to the mills, but gave no open evidence
of the fact. There was n complete ac-
quiesceuce in the power of the state,
and as gracefully as they could the
strikers acceptihle. The batteries
across the river command the whole
town as well as the Carnegie works.
When the troops arrived the strikers
pickets located in the neighborhood
left their posts and congregated to
watch the soldiers. The strike leaders
at once sent them back to their sta.
tions telling them that they had no
business to leave their posts and in
structing them not to Iet any non
union man or detectives throui Ia the
lines. The leaders told them the troops
would not interfere with them in this
Similar instructions were given Other
watchmen and the whole strike line o
pickets were reformed outside of th'
picket line of the troops.

A SPLENDID RECORD.
Made by Commissioner Carter in the Land
Once.

WAsHINGToN, July 9.-For the first
time since the war the work in the gen
eral land office has been brought upto
date, and the commissioner report
will becompleted and signed and r, ady
to deliver TO the secretary two months
earlier than it has ever been before in
twenty-five years. This work has been
brought about by the energetic efforts
nf Commissioner Carter, who has
made a very good record in the Office.
1t has not yet been definitely settled
whether Mr.. Carter will remain com
missioner or retain the secret AIRY ship
of the national committee, but it is
understood that the esecretaryshlpha has
been offered to ex-Congressman Me
Comas, OF Maryland, and that he may
accept, in which case Mr.. Carter will
probably devote himself to the sena-
torial contest in Montana.

PREPARING FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
The Republican National Committee Assign
Members to Localities Garter TO Look
After the New States.

New YORK, July Sat the Repubh-
it was decided that Mr.. DE Young will
represent the Pacific coast; Mr.. Carter
the newly formed states; Payne and
Clarkson the northwest. Carter stated
that it was the desire OF every member
that Campbell, after the completion
of the organization Of the commit tee
by the appointment of his successor
will he either added to the executive
committee or take the place OF some
of he present members thereof.
Campbell said the matter OF est tab
fishing a branch house in Chicago mad
been carefully considered. and in the
event OF such establishment the MEM
bers OF the national committee in that
locality will he advised of matters per-
aiming to it. This, in connection wit Ia
the retention OF Campbell on the exec
utive committee, is significant, as it
means that President Harrison's
wishes will be carried 3ut in regard to
the conduct OF the campaign in lndi-
ana and Illinois, and Campbell will
virtually direct the campaign in those
states.
During the day Campbell and Carter
called on Chairman Hackett, OF the
state Republican committee. The
meeting was an important one, and
the two chairmen exchanged views as
to the policy to be adopted in the
campaign for New York state.
Carter, when asked If there was
possibility OF his being Campbell's sue.
cessor, said he was not a member OF
the national committee and therefore
was ineligible Carter said that during
the day he had a pleasant interview
with ex-senator Platt.
The appointment of the committee
gives general satisfaction to the lead
ers in that city.
Whitelaw Reid spent several hours
today with Chairman Hackett, dis
] cussing plans for the state campaign.

wheat is very fine looking and the
farmers well on with their spring
work.
One day last week whilst Mr.. Jake
Butler was away from home his little
boys set fire to some brush behind
the stable, which got to it. Before
help could be summoned it borned
to the ground. 1t is a serious loss
to Mr.. Butler.
We noticed several locomotives
hauling cross-ties on the extension
of the Western Maryland r. r. near
Williamsport. Things seem to be
booming along the canal. Boats
were unloading cross-ties, pulp and
coal at Williamsport.
A Sunday School has been organ
lied at Tice's school-house with Mr..
Bent Miller as Superintendent. A
good attendance is reported. The
country ought certainly to be re-
claimed, when we have Sunday
Schools in every church and most
of the school-houses. G. d.

Coal BY PIpEs.-Not content with
sending water, milk, oil and gas
through pipes, it is now proposed to
transport coal in that way. In the
Connelsville regions the coal will be
ground to fine powder and mixed
with water, SO as to make sort of
mush. 1t will be forced through
pipes to New Y ork city, where 1t will
be allowed to settle in watts and u
large portion of the water drained
out. 1t will then be pressed into
bricks and used for fuel. 1t will be
forced through pipes at the rate of
five miles per hour. No telling what

We can hardly believe that the
Democrats of Berkeley and of JEFF
ferson are so foolish as to be willing
to enter upon the important cam
paign of 1892 hampered and weak
eyed by fight over the distribution
of delegates among the counties OF
the district.-Free Press.
Correct. Having left Morgan en-
tirely out of your recognition, and
having paired off the Berkeley sur
plus of 1929 with the Jefferson sur
plus Of 1910, it would be foolish to
be weakened by fight over the dele
gates from the two counties. There
is another thing true, however, and
that is. although Jefferson may have
to do the electing, Berkeley and
Morgan can do the nominating. See?

The legerdemain attempt by the
last legislature of West Virginia to
cheat the people Of Morgan and
Berkeley counties out Of their just
representation, is causing great Ia
Dor to the party that manipulated
the job. An anony writer in
the Free Press is endeavoring to
figure out slate for ten years dura-
ton between the three counties of
the Eastern pan handle. This is what
one individual, through and by par
ty committees, seeks to foster upon
the people. He also says there will
be found no buzzard in it, but all
turkey; but if so, the people will find
it is the kind that feed on carcasses
and usually called tArkey-buzzard.
Such gerrymandering must cause
trouble. If Morgan county does
not come within the numerical num-
Der emitting delegate representation,
then the anomaly is presented of ex-
istence without representation, a
matter that was howled and cursed
at under the registration law. They
have practically legislated Morgan
county out of existence, and will rob
Berkeley county Of representation
for 1929 voters, which is within 2
7l4of the ratio for delegate represen-
taticn. 1t is fearful 10 contemplate,
that such outrage is, and has been
done, under color Of law, and it is
eminently proper that 1t should
prove a source of great trouble to
the originators and manipulators to
such ill-advised and wrongful tran
saction.
