flying colors, claiming he had hosts of
friends who would insure him frst-class
trade A prominent New York liquor firm,
for whom Thomas travelled last season,
stocked the bar. His receipts, according to
the books, show that he did very light
business, although the barroom was re-
peatedly crowded at all hours since June 10
last, when he opened. The total gross re-
turns were trife over 81, 300. He was to

Yesterday morning Allen was informed
that Thomas was missing. His family, who
had been stopping at the st. Paul, are also
missing. No trace of them could be found,
nor could that of two close companions who
had been guests of the hotel all summer.
These gave their names as James Palmer,
OF New York, and Frank D. Ellis, of Balti-
more. They, however, left with no indebt-

most important of them being the Bergner

EMINENT LAWYERS COMING.

They VIII Be In Pittsburg To-Day and Will
Assist In Defending the Accused at
Homestead, Whom They Think Are OPP
pressed and Abused.
A special to THE DISPATCH from Chi
cago says: Two eminent lawyers left Chi
cago for Homestead this afternoon on a
peculiar mission. They were George Argo,
of Sioux City, Ia, and w. w. Erwin, of
st. Paul. Argo and Erwin go East as rep
resentatives of the labor assemblies OF the
Northwest to defend the strikers in the
courts of Pennsylvania They first proceed
to Pittsburg, where they will formally ten
der their services to President Weihe, OF
the Amalgamated Association.
Lawyer Erwin, famlliarly dubbed at his
home ''The Pine Tree of the Northwest, "
from his gigantic stature, arrived in Chi
cago over the St Paul limited on the North
western road, at $50 o'clock this morning.
'Our mission is gratuitous; we charge
nothing for our services in this matter, he
said. 'tAll we ask is that our necessary ex-
penses be paid. We give our time and
they are oppressed. The idea of my inter-
esting myself in their defense originated at
a meeting of the various workingmen's and
trades assemblies held in St Paul in July.
Later was asked about the matter and said
] would be glad to do all could for strikers
in Pennsylvania courts, if my expenses
there should be paid. ] insisted that if 1
went Argo, of Sioux City, must go too. I
regard Argo as a ten-gun battery, so to
speak, believing him the ablest man at the
bar 1 ever have known. He raises the dust
when he goes in; fight in the clouds, try
ing to keep in sight of him as we'll as can.
He was telegraphed to and Immediately
donated his services. and our proposition
was accepted by the trades unions and as
semblies of the Northwest, after correspond
ence was had with President Weihe.
The strikers are oppressed. They need
help. We hope to prove, before we are
through, that law should once in a while be
q protection to the unfortunate working
man. Other than this we have no interest
In certain sense, though Westerners, we
are of Pennsylvania Argo lived in Pitts
burg in early life. It was his home. Ny
parents always resided in Easton."
Erwin and Argo are two of the most
prominent criminal attorneys in the North
west.

GREENLAND ON THE SITUATION.
He Believes the Troops Should Be Left at
Homestead.

He Believes the Troops Should Be Left at
Homestead.
Adjutant General Greenland, who is at
Harrisburg, last evening received the
following message from General Wiley:
Everything quiet here and at Duquesne
during last night More men arrived in the
mills safely"
Where is no change in the situation at
Homestead" said the adjutant general
''The mills are rapidly filling up with new
men and 1 believe the Carnegie Company
will have all the workmen they need BY the
first of next month. 1 am confident
that the trouble is about over,
but I cannot say when the troops
will be withdrawn. The soldiers
are doing splendidly; they are working
twenty hours out of the forty-eight Be-
sides working very hard the troops have to
endure the insults and jeers of many of the
strikers without being able to resent them.
This shows discipline in the National
Guard. The men have been on duty for
nearly two months, and are thoroughly
familiar with their duties. If they were to
be Withdrawn and new men substituted
for them, things would not move along for
q few days as smoothly as now, as the new
men would have to be instructed in several
matters"

George L. Cake is now in Washington
looking after his interests in the appoint

to DISPATCH reporter: II want

possible will not allow the appointment to

now. There is no necessity for delaying the
appointment at this time"
It is also understood that the Glass Work

Cake, and if he is not appointed, it is not
likely any other man will be recon-

encs in Attempting to Arrest Young
woman-Her Sister stoutly. Objects
The Law Finally Triumphs.
Detective Fitzgerald had lively expert
ence with two colored women, one of whom
he went to arrest, yesterday afternoon. A
letter had been received at headquarters
from Mayor McCleary, of Wellsburg, W.
Va, requesting the arrest of Jennie Rich
ards, great big overgrown girl of II, who
had run away from her parents and come to

When Fitzgerald went to the house
yesterday the elder sister, who is small and
wiry, denied her identity or her sister, s
accept her statement as fact and pushing by
her he began q search for the girl. In O
cupboard on the second floor, squeezed into
narrow space he at last found her. With
q wild scream she attempted to escape bnt
was caught by the detective. The sister at
this point came to the rescue and grabbed
the officer by the legs trying to throw him.
For five minutes he was in doubt as to
whether he was wrestling with human
being or Q wildcat Between escaping
from the one woman himself and prevent
ing the other from getting away he had his
hands full, but he finally succeeded.
The two women were taken to headquar-
ters and detained until the patrol wagon ar
rived. Then another scene occurred. The
big girl began to cry and refused to 70. She
was so stout that the officer could not get
his arm around her and each time he seized
her managed to get away. Finally the
patrol officers came to his assistance and
amid the girls tears and lamentations she
was forced into the wagon. Mayor Nc
Cleary was notified and Wellsburg officer
will take the girl home to-day.

1t is highly probable that Joseph Loll,
the cripple who was assaulted and so fright
fully abused Sunday night while passing
through field in Lower St. Clair town
ship, will die. Yesterday afternoon his
general condition became SO serious that
the attending physician was called. He is
still lying at his boarding place on jose
phine street.
DR.. Kirk stated that it was impossible to
make any predictions, bat it was evident
that the internal injuries which were in
ficted are more serious than they w4e at
first thought to be. 1t is feared now that
man is suffering from internal hemorrhage.
He has had several sinking spells, and DR..
Kirk fears that in his present weakened
condition the next will prove fatal.
The police have been working on the
case, and think they have good idea as to
who made the assault ON LolL Constable
Lindner said last evening that it was only Q
matter of short time, till, he felt sure, the
guilty party would be captured.

tensive improvements will be made about
Munhall which will transform the place to a
model town such as Pullman has established
near Chicago Pullman is garden spot
laid out in broad gravel roads and walks
lined by model houses which are never per-
mirted to assume dingy appearance. All
the buying is done in large arcade, and the
busy scenes there in the mornings when the
housewives come to buy their provisions is
verv interesting. Inc Pullman Company
owns everything in the town and gets about
per cent return on the capital invested,
and as result the rents are very low. 1t
Is Just such place as this the Carnegies
are now discussing. Their property is all
outside the borough of Homestead, and the
establishing of separate borough would
De very easy matter
1t is proposed to build model houses,
which the company will rent to their work
men at low rates. A large casino will be
erected, which will contain a gymnasium
and theater. The basement will be devoted
to an immense swimming pool Some years
ago Mr.. Carnegie talked of giving public
library to Homestead. If this new bor-
ough is established this gift will doubtless
go to it Homestead will thus be entirely
shut out and overshadowed by the new
town.
f. T F. Lovejoy, when asked to particu-
larize the intended Improvements at Mum
hall, said: "The matter has been discussed,
but that is as tar as it has gone. 1t will
doubtless be the outcome of the Homestead
trouble, but it is too far in the future to
make any positive decision now. We have
enough to take up our attention at the mill
now without undertaking new enterprises.
No movement will be made until the
spring."

IT FINDS ITS MARK.
4 Heavy Stone Thrown by an Angry
Boy With Fatal Result.
THE VICTIM STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
A Farmer Drives Dogs From a Field and
Anglers Their Owner.
THE AsSAILANT STILL AT LIBERTY

Residents of Verona are excited over a
probable murder which occurred at Penn
township, within few miles of that town,
yesterday morning. Three boys stoned a
man named Michael Peterman. One of the
missiles struck him on the head and he is
now lying at deaths door. His physicians
say he cannot recover
1t was o'clock yesterday morning when
Lawrence Snyder, aged IA, j. F. Toner, aged
II and William Klein, aged Is, left their
homes in Verona They met according to
arrangement made the day before. They
all had buckets on their arms and
companying the boys were two dogs. The
neigh borhood' in which Peterman lives is
noted for the large and juicy berries that
are to be found there. The boys had been
picking the fruit for half an hour and had
their buckets nearly full. Suddenly they
missed their dogs and upon looking around
they saw the CANNES chasing sheep in an
adjoining field.
An Angry Boys Fatal Deed.
About the same hour they made this dis
covery Michael Peterman appeared upon
the scene. Fearing the dogs might injure
the sheep he gave chase and attempted to
drive the brutes off, The dogs were stub
born and showed fight, and some little time
was consumed before he finally succeeded
in getting them off the property. The dogs
left the field and Joined their masters, and
Peterman, who followed them, told the
boys they should take better charge of the
animals. With few words of warning for
the future he turned to 60.
Hardly was his back toward the youths
when Klein, in an angry mood, caught up a
large stone and, hurling it at Peterman,
struck him behind the ear. Pe.erman
dropped to the ground unconscious and the
boys beat hasty retreat. Someone from
the house saw the action of Klein and OBJ
served Peterman fall The injured man
was carried to his home and placed in bed.
Tho Victim Will Probably Die.
Peterman could not be aroused Dr.
Clark was summoned and after a thorough
examination pronounced his patient in a
very precarious condition. Mrs. McGregor,
sister of Peterman. with whom the latter
lives, Immediately went to the office of JUS
tice of the Peace, Houghtelin, of Oakmont.
Here a warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of the boys Constables Mitchell and
Craig were assigned to the case and had
little trouble in apprehending Toner and
Snyder, who were very much frightened
and willing to confess everything.
They blamed the assault upon Klein.
The latter realizing the extent of his error,
fled to the city. Parties who knew him
claim they saw him on Market street early
last evening. The constables on learning
this gave chase to Klein. They tracked
him to several places, and at one time just
missed him by ten minutes. At late hour
last night he had not been captured, but
the constables say he cannot escape. They
will put forth their best efforts to catch him
to-day. Toner and Snyder are now in Jail
awaiting hearing

Have q Working Agreement
A report was current in the city yester-
day that the Westinghouse Electric Com
pany had consolidated with the Western
Electric Company of Chicago. George
Westinghouse when asked about it said
there was no truth in the report
"We have" he continued, "a working
agreement with the Western, by
which we handle apparatus of
their manufacture which we do
not make ourselves, and they do the same
in regard to our materials. This is as tar
as the agreement reaches. There is no
pooling of interests There is also no truth
in the report going the rounds in the East
concerning our consolidation with the T. II.
people"
The rumor evidently got started by the
Western Company giving up its Office in
Pittsburg.

A Fatal Play with Electricity.

The Coroner's jury rendered verdict Of
accidental death in the case of Fred Smith,
who was killed by touching an electric wire
on the roof of the Joseph Horne building
on Monday. The testimony showed that
Smith had put his fingers on the wire to
feel the current, and had asked Robert Zal-
mizer. his fellow workman, to do likewise.
Zalmizer's back was turned when Smith re-
ceived the shock which killed him. The
men were building fire escape when the
accident occurred.
