SHOOTING AT HOMESTEAD.
The Military Guard Attacked by Armed
Men on a Train.

HOMESTEAD, Aug. 18. - There was
great excitement both inside and out
side of the Carnegie mills at Homestead
last night. The non-union workmen
became almost uncomfortable in their
terror. About 8:i5 p. m. long freight
train on the Pittsburg, MoKeesport and
Youghiogheny railroad passed through
The mill yard and onto the railroad
bridge spanning the Monongahela river.
Just rs the train emerged from the mill
yards several shots in rapid succession
were fired from various parts of the
rapidly moving train into the militia
men who were doing guard duty along
the river front.
The company attacked were given or
ders to return the fire, which they did.
A battalion from the other side of the
river opened fire on the tram, and over
hundred shots were sent after the un-
known shooters that were on the fast
disappearing train. 1t is not yet
known that any person was injured.
Three men were found on the railroad
bridge and were placed under arrest.
They disclaimed all knowledge of the
affair and were released. The first shot
fired came from the engine cab window.
The officers have been called upon to
investigate the shooting.
Superintendent Potter says only one
man, Cooper, was injured by the gas eK-
plosion which occurred in the mill yes
terday. Cooper died from his injuries
yesterday afternoon.

HUMANITY INTRINsIcALLY DIVINE.
But you ask. Does not the Apostle Paul

Man Is not simply meat. A dog has

Is man to be confused with the flesh, the
soil out Of which he grew. Man was
born at the top-the climax Of the crea-
tive process. He never became mau
until he ceased to be more than flesh.
For this reason we find this divine Jewell

Believed to be an Aooomplios Of Berk-
man, Fiok's Assailant.

PrTTsBuRG, Aug. 1s.-A man, sup
posed to be Russian nihilist, was ar
rested by Detective Coulson yesterday.
He wore false beard and had large
revolver and dirk knife on his person.
He is regarded as dangerous charac-
tel. While at breakfast in the Mer-
chants hotel on Water street it was dis
covered that he was in disguise. The
detectives were notified and followed
him through the streets. When about
half way between Smithfield street and
Wood street, on Fifth avenue, Coul-
son says the suspected man stopped
German and in the German language
asked some questions. The man pointed
down the street towards Mr.. Frick's Of
fee. Coulsnn Immediately arrested the
man and took him to the office Of the
chief of police. Coulson compelled the
man to remove his false beard, which he
said he was wearing to surprise his
brother.in-law, Otto Bergman, clerk at
the Merchants hotel. On his person
was found the address of "Charles
Staddler, Government Orensburg.
County Werehneurasky, Bielortzker
Iron Works, Russia" He gave the
name of George Lehberger.
An investigation proved that this
place is where all the nihilists in Rus
sia were sent, and the police decided to
hold him.
Otto Bergman called at headquarters
later and said the man was his brother
in-law, and asked for his release. When
told that he was wanted for criminal
assault he seemed much surprised, and
VIXEN asked about the address found on
Lehberger said he knew nothing about
it, but admitted that it was the place
where nihilists We're confined. Berg
man departed almost Immediately. He
said he did not know that his brother
in-law was nihilist. Bergman is
Russian count, and has lived in this city
for some time.
The police are hard at work on the
case, and think tho man may be con-
nected with Nihilist BerlSman, now in
jall, There are some suspicious circum-
stauees surrounding the case which the
police are keeping quiet.

The Old Roman Method Of Caring IIls.
The ancient Greeks, In their desire to
honor the healing art, cherished thu
myth that the first knowledge Of medi-
zine came from gods and demigods. Frifs
Romans, though in general more practi-
cal than the Greeks, evinced lees sense
Of the Importance Of the healing art,
and for centuries held pracHcers Of med,
icine in small esteem. Foreigners who
tried to establish the art at Rome were
looked on with contempt and suspicion.
The elder Cato said that these doctors
came to Rome to put an end to the peo-
pie. He cautioned his friends to let
them alone, and preferred to treat bis
family and neighbors from an old hand
book of medical recipes which had prob
ably been delivered to him by his father,
who in turn had received it from his
progenitors. Professor A. P. Montague

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug S.-Dispatches
from Teheran state that in the last three
days the death rate has increased to 500
daily. Cholera victims are dying in the
streets. The Mohammedan zealots are
facilitating the spread Of the disease by
the strict observance of their funeral
forms. In most of the Mohammedan
families the dead are washed and then
buried without clothes or coffin. The
washing results almost invariably in
the contamination of those doing it.
Through the influence of the board
system of dead carts have been added
for the purpose of clearing bodies from
the streets and the houses of the poor.
