HOMESTEAD.
A Chapter of Incidents Growing Out
of the Homestead Riot.

Work was continued at the Upper Union
Mills of the Carnegies. in Pittsburg, Tuesday
by non-union men without molestation from
the strikers. At the Homestead Mill the
COMPANY claimed that 1900 men were at work.
Superintendent Potter took a committee OF
the locked out men through the works at their
request, and subsequently they reported what
they saw at mass meeting OF their fellow
workers. Counsel for the Amalgamated AS
sociation made application in court IN Fits
burg for the appointment of a voluntary trade
tribunal to settle the Homestead trouble.
Judge Ewing made an order for provisional
license for the tribunal as provided for in the
act when only the employees request the ap-
pointment of the Board. If the Carnegie
Steel Company does not sign the petition IN
sixty DAYS it will be dismissed. Attorney
Cox stated that it had been decided to bring
suits against II. G. Frick, Secretary LoveJoY
and Superintendent Potter at once for con-
spiracy. The charges are founded upon the
introduction of the Pinkertons, which pre-
cipitated the riot on July 9th.
Lieutenant Colonel Streator was arrested
at his home, in Washington, Pa, on Tuesday,
on charges of aggravated assault and battery
and assault. and battery preferred by Private
Iams. Col Strcatorwaived IA hearing and
entered bail tor his appearance at the Septem-
Der term of Court.
The Anarchists Bauer and knold on Tues
day made application in Pittsburg for release
on bail, and Judge Ewing fixed the bail at
$1,000 each. Two men offered 10 go on the
bond, but the Court would not accept them.
The Sheridan troop ami part Of Battery b
were ordered home. Three regiments still
remain.

For Congress,
j. FRED. c. TALBOT,
The Tax Commissioner Sustained.

One of the most important positions IN
MARYLAND is that of State Tax Commls-
sioner. Upon this officer devolves the duty
of looking after and assessing corpora
tions. The Office was created some
fourteen wears ago. its establishment be-
coming necessary by reason of the inability
of local authorities to deal adequately with
corporations. Through the Tax CommlS-
sioner's Office many millions have been
added to the taxable basis Of the state.
The work of the Office is immense aud the
duties of the Commissioner require high
degree of financial ability and Il careful and
clear Interpretation Of the tax laws. Hon.
Frank r. Shaw is the present Commissioner
and is administering the Office with rare
ability and prudence.
On Friday of last week the State Board
of Appeal considered appeals from Dr.
Shaw's assessments on The Maryland White
Lead Company, Pittsburg and Connellsville
Railroad Company, the Confluence and
Oakland Railroad Company, and the Cum
berland Railroad Company, and sustained
him in each case.
The aggregate amount Of state taxes
assessed upon corporations in the year o9l
by the State Tax Commissioner was S274,
242.I9, an Increase of sl43,47S.72 over
the previous year The increase was due
first. 10 tho acts of Assembly of 1890, and
second, to the vigilance and efficiency of
the State Tax COMMISSIONER office.

The nomination of knute Nelson for
Governor by the Republicans of Minnesota,
is a recognition of the sentiment among the
Republicans of that state for lower Federal
taxation. MIR. Nelson has been tariff re-
former for some years, and is strong with
the large body Of Scandinavians in the upper
part of the state, who have been gradually
leaving the Republican party. In 1856
he was elected to Congress by nearly Il
unanimous vote, aud he made his canvass
on tariff reform. Before the Mills bill wat
formally reported to the House, Mr.. Mel
son surprised the Republican side by de,
livering an able speech on tariff reduction
and voted with the Democrats for the pas
sage of the Mills bill

Congressman Watson, ofGeorgia, Farm
ers's Alliance issued Il campaign book re-
Gently in which he made wholesale charge
of drunkenness against the present Con
gress, and last week reiterated the charges
an the floor of the House. Immediately a
committee was appointed to investigate the
facts. When Mr.. Watson and his wit
nesses were examined they only had one
case To cite, that of Congressman Cobb, Of
Alabama. MF. Cobb courted the fullest in
vestigation The instance of intoxication
Was when he delivered two hours speech
in the Rockwell-Noyes contested election
case. Many Congressman, of both Politi-
cal parties. testified contrary to Mr. Wat
sons charges, showing conclusively that
they were unfouRded. Mr.. Watson has
been greatly censured for his reckless and
ssholesale charge of drunkenness against
ihe House.

Christ Church Protestant Episcopal Parish
began the celebration Of its bi-centennial on
August LIST. The parish consists of three
churches-Christ Church, Midlothian Chapel
and st. Peters. The latter, at Solomon's
Island, was consecrated only few years ago,
and since the present rector, Rev. X. Heber
Murphy, has been in charge. The first church
erected on the Christ Church site was log
building, and built some time prior, to 100,
as the parish had rector in 1862. In 1882
the old log church gave place to the present
commodious brick one, the bricks for which
were brought from England. This building
was repaired in 1892 at a cost of 800 pounds
Of tobacco, and again in 1881. The longest
passionate in the history of the parish was that
of Rev. Jonathan Cay, who is buried immedi
ately in the rear of the Christ Church. and on
whose tomb is this inscription: Here lieth
inferred the body of ye Reverend Mr.. iona
than Cay (son of Mr.. Robert Cay, Of New
Castle upon Tine, rector of this church TWEEN
ty-two years He died the 18th of May, 1877,
aged fifty-seven years" Christ Church is
situated near Port Republic, and not far from
the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. In the
services which were held in this church on
Wednesday, the rector, Rev. r. H. Murphy,
was assisted by Archdeacon Moran, Dean
Theodore c. Gambrall and a number of for
mer rectors of the parish. A tablet in the
interior of the church in the south wall states
it to have been built by Col. Alexander Som
ervell, many of whose descendants are still
connected with the church.
