BRECK ON THE POISON.
He Said One Powder Was Put in Every 30
Gallons of Coffee.

He Said One Powder Was Put in Every 30
Gallons of Coffee.
Captain E. Y. Breck, the attorney for the
Carnegie Steel Company's criminal business
had this to say yesterday: THE drug used
in the poisoning of the men was very
powerful To give you an idea," here
Captain Breck folded piece of paper to the
size of one By two and one-half inches, "a
powder this size was used to poison 30 gal
Ions OF coffee or tea. The men were fully
instructed in the use of the powders-not
oftener than every two days Some days
we had as many as $50 men affected oy this
drug. We are not going upon a supposi-
tion In this case, we are dealing with facts.
As to what the powder is composed Of, we
do not care to state. 1t is not our purpose
to divulge any of our evidence until the
proper time.
SIT was decidedly plot of the K. of L.,
and in it are also some Amalgamated men
of the local lodge. The poisoning con-
tinued for two months. Sometimes it
would cease altogether, the parties being
afraid, but it would soon be resumed. As
to the number of men implicated, that will
come out in due time. We have all our
men under strict surveillance and none can
get away. We were not quite ready to
make the matter public, but Beatty's going
away precipitated the whole affair."

GALLAGHER is In TOWN.

The Carnegie Steel Company Is Keeping
Him Hid-He Quit Work Yesterday
and Was Reported to Have Left Town
Said to Be Scared.
Patrick Gallagher, the cook, who is al
legged 20 have confessed to the Carnegie
Company Of the poisoning at Homestead, is
still in town. He is being kept under cover
Yesterday DISPATCH man tried to locate
him, but Gallagher could not be found.
The alleged confessor was employed at
Porter's restaurant in the Diamond. He
only quit there yesterday morning When
the reporter called at the eating house
in the afternoon, the manager was
backward in speaking of Gallagher. He
finally admitted that the cook had left
them at O'Clock in the morning, having
been called away by his wife. The restau-
rant keeper said that he did not know
where Gallagher lived, and, after some
hesitancy, said that the information might
be learned at 110 Water street. A call was
made there, but the residence of Gallagher
could not be learned.
Gallagher was we'll known in this estab-
lishment He had been a cook on the river
for number of years and has been about
Pittsburg for the past IS years. At this
place the reporter was told that Gallagher
had left Pittsburg at s o'clock in the morn
ing. Where he went was unknown. The
gentleman giving this information saw
Gallagher Sunday night and said the man
was badly scared.
Later in the afternoon it was learned that
Gallagher was still in town. He was seen
on Grant street shortly before noon. He
was then said to be somewhat agitated, and
was afraid of his life He is said to be tear
tul lest some of the men against whom he
is alleged to have damaging testimony will
try to get him out of the wav.
Gallagher is man of about 81 years of
age. he is sllmly built and feet inches
in height. His hair is very dark and he
wears rather heavy dark mustache. Gal
lagher is said to look not unlike an Italian.

had died of diarrhea He was EMPLOYED
at Homestead and was taken i'll there and
brought to his home in Oakland, death fol-
lowing several weeks later. His brother
ln-law Albert Edwards was seen last night
and be tells this story of Paulson's illness:
"Paulson contracted typhoid fever at
Homestead. He came home and was i'll for
several weeks. He gradually recovered.
Paulson was afflicted slightly with diar
rhoea, but never very severely. Fora num-
Der of years he had been troubled with
heart disease, and had often told me that it
would kill him. The trouble was
noticeable quite often. He was SEEM
1ngly nearly over the fever when
he died. The day before his death he had
been well enough to be out of bed. When
the physician called the next morning
Paulson's heart was futtering in peculiar
manner. The doctor said he was diving of
heart disease. 1t was true, for a few
minutes later he expired. We are positive
bis death was alone due to heart disease -

FIFTY NEW VACANCIES.

A Number OF Men Leave the Homestead
t Min-some Grow Tired OF the Work
While Others Are Discharged for Going
On a Strike.
There are nearly 30 vacancies in the
Homestead mill of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany. These were caused by the resigna
tion of some % or 80 men who had grown
tired of the work, and the discharge of II
more who went out on strike yesterday. The
striking men were employed in the trans
| portation department.
The direct cause of the trouble occurred
several days ago when one of the new men,
a conductor of crew No. 7, was taken sick.
He laid of and his place was temporarily
filed by one of the old workmen. Yester-
day the new man reported for
duty and went to work and the
man who had been filling the vacancy was
given the position of brakeman. When
crew No. learned that the new man had
returned to work they declared him in
competent and refused to work. They
were all paid of and discharged. Before
refusing to work the discharged men called
the attention of the company to the fact
that the new man was incompetent, but it
is said they were given to understand that
non-union workmen should always be given
the preference over the old union men.
The 32-inch mill, better known as the
armor plate mill, which started up this
week with a new crew of men, was
shut down Yesterday for repairs 1t
is stated that the new crew did
not understand the mechanism of the
machinery, and before they had gone very
tar they did so much damage that the mill
was ordered shut down. The crew at
tempted to roll 12-inch channel and broke
the rolls. 1t is thought highly probable
that some of the old men will be taken back
to run this particular mill. Besides those
already mentioned there are two more va
cancies at Homestead. Sylvester Zinkana,
q steel worker, fell down in a fit Sunday
evening, and was removed to his home in
McKeesport. E. Randall, a colored man
working in the yard, was taken out yester-
day by Constable Sweeny, of this city, on a
warrant sworn out by E. Goodin. She
charged him with false pretense.
A room has been secured by the Relief
Committee on the corner Of Fourth avenue
and Amity street, where all contributions
will be stored as fast as received. Secre-
tary Hadfeld said last night that the Relief
Committee had plenty of business on hand.
Twenty families, including more than 100
people, had been found In destitute circum-
stances Every case reported is thoroughly
Investigated, as there can be no impositions
practiced. President David Lynch, of the
Homestead Amalgamated Board, left the
borough last night for Philadelphia His
mission is q secret one.

NOT ASKED TO ASSIST.

Detective Beltzhoover Gives His Views on
the Homestead Poisoning.
County Detective Beltzhoover has not
been asked to assist the Carnegie Company
in hunting its alleged poisoners.
Detective BeltzhoOver said yesterday: 81
have never been asked by the Carnegie
Company to assist them in any of the cases
growing out Of the strike. L had little to
90 with the treason cases, but
that was because Judge Paxson
said the prosecuting officer would
have to do the work. The Carnegie
Company seem to want Pinkertons to do
their work. They work the cases up all
night, but we have seen Low loath iuries
are to believe their testimony. 1t seems
very queer to me that with all those people
dying at Homestead from poison that the
story could be kept quiet so long"

WHAT HOMESTEADERS SAY.
Physicians There Do Not Give Much Gre
denee to the Sensation-The Presence of
Soldiers Had Much to Do With the Sex

Physicians There Do Not Give Much Gre
den0e to the Sensation-The Presence OF
Soldiers Had Much to Do With the S.ck-
Dr. Hamnett, of Homestead, in speaking
of the latest sensation, said: cat the time
there was so much sickness in the mills
several physicians and myself had a talk
about the matter. We thought it extra
ordinary that the disease should appear at
intervals and in such severity. The idea of
poison was broacbed, but was excluded, as
the fact of an encampment of several thous-
ands of soldiers on the side of a hill above
the mill seemed to US to give an ample cause
for the sickness 1t has always been the case
that when large bodies of men are gathered
together and fed as in the war, that the
greatest thing they have to contend with is
diarrhea- This, with the situation of the
mill so that it would get the full effects of
the drainage from the camps; the peculiar
circumstances under which the men
were there unsettled, nervous, fearful
of the position. in which they
were placed, all tended to impair
the mems digestive organs, and it is no
wonder the disease appeared. The disease
in the mill was different from that epidemic
in the town. The latter was typhoid fever,
but the former was in the nature of an OBJ
stinate diarrh9a."
Dr.. Weible, who is resident physician in
the Homestead mills, did not speak as
though he had much faith in the poisoning
story. He said: ''The epidemic within the
mill was certainly alarming, the type of
diarrhea being of the most obstinate kind
our medicines very rarely affecting it We
never had any foods examined for poison.
The State Board of Health thought 1t had
struck upon the cause when they
visited US, but even refraining from the
use of the river water did not exempt
a person from the disease. One feature
which seems 10 point toward poisoning is
the TACT that the sickness broke out in one
dining place at q time. No. 6, the last
cook house to be visited by the epidemic,
developed the most serious cases. Men
would be taken sick at their meals and rush
awav from the table. 1 think this can be
accounted for by the presence ofthe soldiers
o. the hill. !"
Manager Linderman, of the City Poor
Farm, did not think it was the river water
that caused the sickness in the mill. "We
receive our drinking water supply from q
spring on the hill, but with all our provid-
ing, we cannot prevent our inmates using
river water. II was just so during the time
of sickness at the mills. The majority of
our patients drank the water which comes
from the river below the sewer outlets of
the Carnegie mill, and yet never a one had
any sickness such as was prevalent in the
mills"
DE- Barten, a prominent physician, said
that be attributed the sickness to typhoid
fever. and that the idea that the men were
poisoned was absurd. All the physicians
and druggists seen expressed themselves in
8 like manner.
