1.-THE PROVIDENCE NEWS.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-07-15


The demagogic orators and blatant
newspapers by whose reckless tongues
the bloody outbreak at Homestead may
have been precipitated and by whose en-
couragement the strikes in Pittsburg
and in the Carnegie works elsew here
have been melted have terrible load of
responsibility upon their shoulders.
What must be the feelings Of the
mill men who are now skulk-
ing out of Homestead for fear Of
arrest and trial for riot or murder to-
wards the irresponsible sheets, whose
reckless utterances led them to believe
that life could be taken and property
seized and no one held to accountability
BY this time they know themselves to
have been wantonly and ruthlessly de-
ceived and left to bear the conse-
quences. Their town is in the hands Of
soldiery and they themselves are marked
men. Will free trade newspaper editors
20 to prison for them or provide them
work at Carnegie wages if they are
driven out of Homestead?
A wiser recognition of responsibility
on the part of the press might have
saved the Amalgamated Association
from the predicament in which il is
likely to find itself as the result of the
strike in the Lawrenceville mills, Pitts
burg, yesterday. This great and powerful
and in the main just and prudent labor
union has prided itself with reason on
the exactness with which it fulfilled all
contracts. In presenting its demands
to manufacturers its responsibility has
been its strong card. Yesterdays strike
was in direct violation OF its contract,
its scale having been signed and all its
stipulations met. To Justify themselves
in n measure the Amalgamated officials
put forth the statement that the strike
was not authorized by them, but the
men struck rs individuals.
As consistent friend Of unionism the
NEWS is compelled TO say that unless
the Amalgamated Association can put
men back into the mills and set them 10

hold. 1t has given mp the principle of
unionism. What h 10 hinder the Car

Drawing photograph from her bosom
Marion held it up for Judith 10 see, and
Paxton and Stanmore both obtained an
excellent view of the pictured face.
Stanmore staggered back from the
window with an ejaculation OF surprise
which Paxton feared would betray their
presence.
As for the detective he was never more
surprised in all his life, but he betrayed
little emotion, for he was used to sur
prise and Injured to meeting with the
unexpected.
There was the most excellent reason
for astonishment, however, for the pho
tograph which Marion Oakburn had pro-
duced was that of young man with
light hair and mustaehe who had scar
above one eyebrow.
Paxton and Stanmore believed they
recognized the man who had exchanged
overeoats with Stuart Harland, and
whom they thought TO be the assassin Of
Marion's father
The picture eorresponded perfectly
with the description of the unknown
given by both Stuart and the night
Waterman.
What mystery is this? What re-
markable complication of this strange
crime have We stumbled upon nOw?"
muttered Paxton, and a flood OF sug-
gestive thoughts permeated-hlled his
mind.
The daughter of the murdered man
has the picture of the assassin. What
can it mean?" whispered Stanmore.
1t is perplexing puzzle. But see,
she replaces the photograph In her
bosom. She seems TO treasure the pic
ture of the supposed assassin. Can it be
that she knows of his connection with
the murder of her father, and yet means
to shield him, or is she ignorant of what
We suspeet?" said Paxton, as he saw
Marion restore the picture to its hiding
| place. is it possible the man we sus-
| peet is secretly Marion Oakburn' s lover?
he added, as the thought entered his
mind.
There was a flash of rage in Stan
more's eyes as he heard him.
No, a thousand times no! That girl
! is as pure as the driven snow and as in
noeent as one of the angels, he Missed.
He had clutched Paxton's arm with a
vise-like grasp.
You will excuse me mentioning it,
but you are crushing my arm" said Pax
ton, quietly.
Stanmore released him, and the de-
/ tective wonderingly observed that he
was trembling from head to foot, as
though shaken by some powerful emo
ton.

The appearance OF the Waterman was
a source of the greatest satisfaction to
the detective. He had desired to ques-
ton him, but had been unable to do so
by reason of the mans absence. He
had been called away from the city on
the day preceding the night of the
murder.
Paxton greeted the Waterman famiI-
iarly, addressing him by the name of
Kemp.
4 want to speak with you in private,
Mr.. Paxton, said the Waterman
You can speak fearlessly before this
gentleman answered Paxton.
All right, sir. I heard you were ask
ing for me at my house, and though 1
Just returned from the country, 1 hurried
TO call here. You know my beat is

sons office. where the murder was com
mitted, is located"
Yes, and wish to ask If you had
noted any suspicious circumstance which
might be important for me to know
The man who supplied your place on the
night of the murder had nothing to tell
me.
Well, saw something. Last Monday

him by surprise, but just as l was about
to seize him. he discovered me. Then
he was OF like shot. 1 pursued him,
but he gave me the slip after all. 1
obtained n good look at his face though
when he turned and saw me at the door. "
This is news, certainly. said Paxton,
as the Waterman paused.
But have not told you all, the lat
IL - II
OF the man I discovered at the door of
Garrison's Oflce. I returned there and
made an examination. I found wax on
the keyhOle. and of course I knew at
once the fellow had been taking a wax
impression"
Describe the man, said Paxton.
He was a well-made young fellow,
with light hair and mustache and blue
eyes. There was small scar across
one of his EYEBROWS, 1 think. That s
the best I can do for you in the way of
a description; you know only had a
glance at him, replied the Waterman.
This account Of the man seen at the
Office door accOrds with the description
Stuart Harland gave of the man who
took his overeoat, said the detective.
I think could recognize the fellow
again IL were TO see him. said the
Waterman.
EaNtOn asked several more questions
and then the Waterman took his de-
parture. Stanmore, too, withdrew and
the detective found himself alone.
The watehman's story had confirmed
his theory that the man who had the
skeleton keys and wax Impressions was
the assassin OF John Oakburn or the
confederate OF the murderer.
But Paxton determined TO place Lew
Kredge under surveillance, for he enter
tanned a suspicion Of the lanitor which
had boon materially strengthened by
the Information that Stanmore had
given him

one OF his most reliable assistants on

another co-labOrer to shadow the

Coal OIL.

A mixed fuel consisting of coal and
petroleum mingled together has been
tried for firing the boilers of an Ital.
ian man-of-war, with the result that
her normal speed of fifteen knots was
increased to seventeen knots. 1t will
thus been seen that this new method
OF firing may prove very useful in
wartime, when a ship may have torun
away from a superior force. The in.
creased heat is said to affect the
boiler plates injuriously, but this mis-
hap could of course be foreseen and
guarded against.
