ing to take cognizance Of the recent riot,

than had been anticipated. The prelim-

was shortly before noon when Secretary
Lovejoy, Of the Carnegie company, saun-
tered leisurely into the Office of Alder
man McMasters, at Diamond and Grant
streets. He was unacconpalied and by
a curious coincidence nobody but the
alderman was in the office at the time,
the collstables attached to the place
being behind the closed doors of the
anteroom. Mr.. Lovejoy stated that he
desired to lay informations against cer-
tain men,
Charging the Crime of Murder
and the alderman proceeded to draw up

that on the 9Th of July the men did fel-

and Silas Wayne, Il worker i'll the mills.
Secretary Lovejoy named as the men
accused, Hugh O'Dcnnell, John Nc
Luckie. Sylvester Cricillow, Anthony
Flahcrty, Samuel Burliett, James Flan-
nigan and Hugh Ross. When the papers
had been completed Secretary Loveioy
listened to the reading of the oath,
kissed the Bible, appended his signature
to the information, buttoned his sack
coat, shook hands with the justice and
sauntercd out of the Office as leisurcly
and to all outward appearance as free
from care and anxiety as he had entered
half hour before. No time was lost by
Justice McMasters i'll making out the
warrants and shortly before . o'clock
they We're entrusted to Constables Joseph
Neber, j. Morriss and Mike j. Price
who ut once left for Homestead.
Looking for the Men.
On their arrival they made known
their business to General Snowdon, who
referred them to Colonel Green, in com-
mand Of the provost guard. The latter
detailed two companies of soldiers to
accompany the constables and the latter
visited the houses Of all the men wanted
but without result. Not one of them
was at home and most of the residences
were locked in darkness. When the
officers returned to this city toward
dusk they were surprised to find that
Burgess McLuckie had gotten out of
town while they We're searching for him
and had already surrendered himself to
the alderman. He was in the Office in
company with Attorney Brennan, of the
Amalgamated association, and friends.
The warrant was formally served upon
him and to the magistrate he said that
he had already sent word to the other
men who We're wanted to come into
town in the morning and surrender. Tc
those around him he said that O'Donnell
and he We're not leaders but among the
strikers and rs for himself he did not
know if he was any longer member OF
the association.
After Carnegie. Fricll and Potter.

he said, ''and say that information will
be laid against Fricls. Carnegie and Pot.

else into it cannot say at present. !
tell you we will make this man Frick
come down on his knees so hard that the
sound will be heard i'll the farthest cor
ner of civilization"
EYES," put in one of those present,
"and once the warrants are issued we
will have Carnegie extradited in short
order"
Alderman McMasters waited in his
Office until 8 o'clock and then none of
the men putting in al appearance, he
committed the burgess to the county
Jail without bail pending preliminary
examination on Friday. In custody Of
Constable Price and accompanied by
Jere Dousherty, an official of til,
Amalga- ed association and severa
mill men he walked to the county Jail
On the outside he shook hands with hi
friends and then passed through tn
iron gate. After being searched b,
Chief Warden McAlees, who found il
his pockets nothing more dangerou
than the key to the Homestead lock up
he was taken to cell on the first tie
and locked up. Half an hour later h
