tntendent and an Alderman.
P1rrsBURa, Pa, Aug. 10. = In Aid.
Nc Masters court, to-day, was read an
anonymous letter, posted in New YORK
at noon Monday. The letter was
written in cramped hand, probably
disguised. It read:
AID. Mclfasters, Pittsb1trg, Pa: DEAR
SIR-Some time this week party OF men
will leave here and will try to Kill you ana
Supt. Prick again.
Alderman McMasters has been IN
Michigan for two weeks. His mail Is
opened by his constable, Joseph Web
Der. The anonymous letter was turned
over to the authorities. 1t was sus-
pected that the letter was written here
and sent to New York to be mailed.
All the attorneys engaged In
prosecuting the Homestead riot cases
have within a week received several
letters of threatening character, but
they have little if any fear of q threat
SIGN his name. Alderman McMaster is
not expected to return for ten
DAYS. He will not likely know of the
threate ming letter until his return. In
this connection it may be said that 9TH
er officials of the Carnegie Company
are receiving letters threatening their
lives.
John Reams, non-union workman,
employed at the Upper Union, was as
saulted by two men while on his way to
work, this morning, and badly
beaten. His assailants were arrest
ed and taken to the station
house, where they were recognized
as Edward thinner, a striker, and
Thomas Connors, former employe.
Ream's injuries are painful, but not
dangerous. This is the first trouble
since the beginning of the strike at the
Union Mills. No more trouble is
feared, as officers are on duty about the
mill.
What is regarded as the final confer
ence of the joint scale committee of the
iron manufacturers and the Amalga-
mated Association met at II 40 this morn
ing. Nothing could be learned from the
conferees as to the probable outcome,
but from unofficial sources, it was
the Amalgamated Association de-
cided against the arbitration PROPOSE
ton. In the event of failure to agree
to-day, the manufacturers say no moro
conferences will be held, and many OF
the mills will be started with nom
union men. Wage conferences of the
window glass manufacturers and work
ers and flint glass manufacturers and
workers are also being held here to-
day,

ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10.-The pleas
ure steamer that was reported as having
been run down outside of Helsingfers
was named the Ajax. She was coast
er and left Helsingfers on Sunday with
100 excursionists on board. Her re-
turn was delayed and she arrived off
Helsingfers after midnight. When the
narrowest part of the chan
mel was reached the steamer Runeberg
was met, going out. The captain of the
Ajax attempted to cross the bow of the
Runeberg. When the collision oc-
Cured all discipline was lost, and the
crew made rush for the boats. But
there was no time to cast them loose,
for in minute after she was struck, the
Ajax sunk and the Runeberg went
aground. Those on board the
Runeberg threw overheard life

The General Situation of the Pittsburg
Iron Workers.

The General Situation of the Pittsburg
Iron Workers.
PITTsBURG, Pa. Aug. 1O.-The differ
ences between the iron manufacturers
and the Amalgamated Association have
been amicably settled by mutual con-
cessions, and the threatened strike in
this city and in the West has been
averted. Fifteen mills will resume at
once, ana the other plants will start up
as soon as necessary repairs can be
made. This is the result of the con-
iron manufacturers and the Amalga-
mated Association to-day. At O'Clock
this afternoon the committee met
and continued in session until 1890
O'Clock tonight, when an agreement
was reached, the scale signed and the
conference finally adjourned. By the
terms of the agreement the basis of
pudding remains at $3.50 per ton, but
the men in the finishing department
have been reduced 10 per cent. There
are few minor concessions in the 9TH
er departments, but just what they are
cannot be learned tonight. There was
hard fight on the pudding scale, but
the manufacturers finally consented to
pay the old scale, upon the workers
conceding the reduction in the finish
Ing department. Work will now be re.
sumed here as soon as it is possible to
get the mills In operation. While the
settlement directly affects the $1,000 or
$4,000 skilled workmen in the Anal
gamated Association, fully 100000
others are interested. The news of the
signing Of the scale was received with
great rejoicing, not only by the mill
workers, but everyone in the vicinity.
The settlement only affects the Pitts
burg district, but it is thought that the
manufacturers of the ShenaDgo and the

Miss Kelly, Daughter of the Iron King
Runs Away to We'd.
New York, Aug. 11.-There is a fut-
ter in society circles over the marriage
of Ella NJ. Kelly and Edward O. Ross,
who were wed on Sunday morning by
the Rev. John Bedford. Ella M. Kelly
is the eldest daughter of John c. Kelly.
one of the Pittsburg iron kings
and a member of the firm of Kelly,
Jones & Co., of New York, Jersey City,
Pittsburg and Greensburg, Pa. Miss
Kelley is young woman of more than
ordinary beauty, and has just passed
her eighteenth Birthday. A few
months ago she was introduced to Ed
ward O. Ross, a young Brooklynlte,
well-known in q large circle. of &C
quaintances. Elias parents when ,ap,,
preached by the ardent lover, had
refused to give their daughter 8 hand.
Ross was persistent. The girl was
equally, if not passively, so. They must
have correspondent, for, unknown to
any one but themselves, they met on
Sunday prepared to outwit all op-
position. Meanwhile the bridegroom
to-be had procured the necessary
dispensation from the ecclesiastical au-
thorities to clear the way. The knot
was tied. Since then Papa and Mamma
Kelly are said to have become recon-
ciled to the action of the determined
young couple, and when they return all
will probably be forgiven.

Gov. Buchanan Gives His Reasons for
Committing Kings Sentence.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 11.-"Gov.
Buchanan, will you give me your rea-
sons for the Communication OF Col. Clay
Kings SENTENCE" asked an Associated
Press reporter of the chief executive.
"With pleasure" said the governor,
land will do it briefly. First, I
thought that King should have had
change of venue. Affidavits to the eff
feet that jurors had communicated with
outside persons and expressed an
opinion about the case were filed
with me. These atfidavits could
not be introduced in the court of
record because it was too late. The &C.
tons of Juror Muslin, of the jury, in
going away to deliberate upon the case,
have their weight. The dissention of
one of the supreme judges IN the plea
of partial insanity, the pleadings of his
wife and children and the most promi-
nent men of the country, besides thous-
ands ofletters and petitions-those were
my reasons for committing the sem
tence. II am responsible for my &C.
tion," said the Governor. II thought I
was doing right, and l acted according
ly." He then handed the reporter a
petition signed by thirty-six United
states senators and congressman.

evening of August 4 ran into Nor.

Dublin for New York. The Saale
at the time of the accident
was two days out from New York,
bound for Bremen. The gentleman
interviewed said that 1t was hazy on
the evening of August 4, and with only
few minutes warning the Saale ran
into dense fog bank. Her engines
were Immediately slowed and she was
run at a speed of seven knots. While
the passengers were at dinner, they
were startled by the steamer keeling

that nothing was upset on the tables.
Many of the passengers fastened to the
deck. but there was no extraordinary
excitement. It was found that the

almost cutting her in half. The crew of
the bark clambered over the
bow of the Saale and escaped
without even getting themselves
wet. During the whole affair perfect
order prevailed on board the Saale.

A VICTIM OF MUTlNEERS.
New Theory In the Mysterious Borden
Murder Case.

New Theory In the Mysterious Borden
Murder Case.
LYNN, Mass, Aug. 1.-the Lynn
Item will to-day print statement that
Andrew J. Borden, of Fall River, who
was murdered two weeks ago, gave the
principal testimony that convicted the
ringleaders in the mutiny on the
schooner Richard J. Borden, while on
the voyage from foreign port to this
country; that he and his wife
were on the vessel; that his tes.
timony in the courts was declared
by the sailors to be false and exaggerat-
ed, and that the men who suffered by
it vowed vengeance against him. Most,
if not all, of them have been released,
and it is submitted that several Of them
were in Fall River at the time of the
murder.
The reaction in the Borden case has
noticeably quiet. There is very little
violent discussion on the streets, and
what cases were seen, were the out
owth of hard expressions against
the imprisoned girl. Three days
ago it was the popular cry
that Miss Lizzie Borden was criminal
and should be placed behind prison
bars. To-day, although the judges have
passed their opinions on the evidence.
there are many thoughtful and in
tluential men who belize that a
trial will substantiate Miss Bor-
Borden's protestations of innocence.
There is now but one policeman at the
Borden house, and he is doing patrol
duty on the spot to prevent curious
people from annoying the tam
lily. While direct police surveil-
lance has been removed from Mr..
Morse and Mrs. Sullivan, yet their con-
nection with the case will be gone over,
and they will not be far away should
the police need them. There Will not
be great many witnesses summoned
tor the preliminary hearing unless the
present plans are changed.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE Pitts
burg Post publishes story this morn
ing to the effect that the police have
discovered another Anarchistic plot to
assassinate H. G. Frick, who was shot
by Bergman three weeks ago. The in
tended assassin is the Anarchist Aaron
Stamm, of New York, who is a close
friend of Eergmann and Emma Gold
mann. Aaron Stamm has been in the
city Tor several days, and it is claimed,
has been waiting for a favorable oppor-
tunity to kill his victim. He is said to
resemble Bergman very much and is
armed with a revolver in one pocket Of
his coat and dynamite bomb in the
other. The plot was Matched in Vienna
and was given to the New York police
bv Vice Consul Eberhardt, of Austria.
NEW YORK, Aug. l2.--Supt. Byrnes
said this morning that he knew moth
Ing regarding the subject matter of the
dispatch from Pittsburg, which states
that an Anarchist had left this city for
Pittsburg, a couple of days ago,
with the avowed intention Of
killing H. c. Frick, the manager of
the Carnegie Company. The dispatch
in question says that the second plot to
XIII Mr.. Flick was revealed to otto
Eberhard, Austrian vice-consul in this
city, who communicated it to the police
of this city. Supt. Byrnes said he
had not seen the vice-consul nor
heard from him concerning any plot
to kill Mr.. Prick. He added that no
information had come to him from any
source regarding the man Aaron Stamm.
Supt. Byrnes places little faith in the
story that such person has gone to
Pittsburg to kill Mr.. Frlck.
