| Secretary Foster Gets to London.
Wall street men received important informa.
tion yesterday from Washington concerning Q
forthcoming bimetallic currency conference.
An erroneous story has been circulated that
Secretary Fosters visit to Europe has some.
thing to do with such q conference The A..
rangements for the conference we're completed
long before Mr. Foster contemplated his for.
eiRn trip Before he returns he may have
consultations with Mr.. Goschen. Chancellor q
the Excheduer OF Great Britain. and with the
Marquis OF Salisbury.
Tho neWs is that Great Britain has at last
agreed that such a conference Is necessary,
and that it will cooperate with the United
states In bringing about such conference.
Franco Is also expected to Join with the United
States and Gront Britain. The Significant
point Is that Great Britain has voluntarily
agreed to discuss the silver situation. In the
last conference on these matters. held In 1874

He Pulls Revolver and Badly Scares Sew
eral Persons.
Frank OBrien, from Philadelphia, was
locked up at an early hour yesterday morn
ing. Al o'clock officer Samuel Moffett was
passing down Second avenue, and when op-
posite No 15 he heard loud cries for help.
The officer rushed into the house, and on
reaching the parlor he found man standing
in the doorway leveling revolver ut sew
eral women who were crouched in the cor
ner OF the room. The officer knocked the
weapon from the mans hanu, but before he
could secure him he had regained it, and
threatened to shoot the policeman. lively
fight ensued, in which the officer came out
best and succeeded in landing his man in the
lookup.
AT the station house he gave HIS name as
Frank o. Brien, and said that he was u watch
man employed by the Carnegie firm at Home
stead Last night he came to town and sue
ceeded in getting full OF bad whisky. When
he went to No. Is he was denied admittance,
whereupon he drew a large 'self-acting re-
yolyer and frightened tine women nearly
out of their wits. O'Brien was master Of
the situation when the officer placed him un-
der arrest.
When asked by Judge Leslie his business
he drew a commission of q watchman signed
by Superintendent Potter, OF the Homestead
works. In default OF $50 and costs he was
sent to the workhouse for 30 days. Informa-
tion for pointing firearms will also be lodged
against him.

Gossiping About Hugh o'Donnelps Prob
able Errand to Boston.
To the undlsguised satisfaction of the
soldiers on Carnegie hill and the civilians
in the borough below, only a few hundred
curious strangers visited Homestead yes
terday. 1t was a glorious Sunday as re-
CARDS the quality of the weather. and every
body in and about the borough made the
most OF it.
The morning services at all the churches
were largely attended, and for the first time
since the beginning Of the strike the clergy
men did not select the labor problem as the
theme OF their sermons, but talked eloquent
ly about other things. The subject of one
sermon was Christian charity, while another
preacher devoted an even hour to the pleas
ant task of convincing his hea-ers that it
is a wise plan to love your neighbor and al
all times return good for evil. Naturally
Tested through the words and deeds of
the people during the rest of the day.
Every man, woman and child appeared de-
termined to have good time. Some hired
boats and spent the afternoon on the river,
others sought the hills, but the majority
spent The day in their homes or wandering
through the confines OF their pretty town.
Homestead's pretty girls, and they are
many, turned out in their finest frocks and
most fetching bonnets, while the boys were
dressed in their best and made the most of
their opportunities.
1t was such delightfully."- lazy day that
even that industrious band of gentlemen,
the Advisory Board, did little or nothing.
They held their usual meeting at eventide,
but it only lasted 30 minutes and yielded
nothing IN the way OF news. There was
little desultory talk about Hugh O'Donnell
and some speculation over the real object of
his visit to Boston. The prevailing opinion
was that O'Donnell intended to have a busi-
ness talk with General Butler. Many of the
Amalgamated men would like to have that
redoutabe old lawyer to take charge of the
legal end CT the muddle, but as yet the Ad-
vIsory Board has taken no definite action in
the matter.

How an Ancestor of Senator Quay Got =
Pension.
ut is a great deal easier to get pensions
now,' said Colonel William Reed last night,
"than it was in the times of our grand
fathers. The other day was in Washing
ton talking to Senator Quay and he con-
vinced he of that fact. He showed me a
number OF papers that had come into his
possession from some of his ancestors.
"The papers tell q good story. One OF the
Senator's ancestors, who lived in Virginia,
and fought in both the revolutionary and
colonial wars. wanted a pension. He ap-
piled Tor 1t during the winter OF 179S. At
that time aid was only given to soldiers who
could prove that they were poverty
stricken. An application for pension then
was handled very much like a request for
aid from poor board is now. Quay's rela-
tive proved his need, but to-day the papers
are ludicrous thing to us. He stated that
his sole possessions consisted of II acres of
land and two slaves. The land was so
beastly poor tnat it would not raise white
beans. The colored men were ofless value, ,ac-
cording to his statement. The one was q
rheumatic man OF SO and the other was boy
OF l6 years, hearty and strong. but he was
of no use to his master, as 1t took all of his
time to attend to he wants of his rheumatic
friend. The applica ion further showed
that Al the time the Iorefather of the Sena-
tor asked for aid all he hadbetween him and
starvation WAS the skinny ham of his last
razor-backed shoat. The old gentleman got
his pension"
