WON'T MAKE GUNS.

Secretary Lovejoy Denies the Report That
the Carnegie Firm Was Going Into the
Business-The Steel Hard to Make and
the Profits Small.
A report was circulated Yesterday that
after the trouble at Homestead is settled
the Carnegie Company intended to 60 into
the manufacture of guns and heavy projec-
tiles, or rather the business of producing all
the means of defense and offense used in
war.
When DISPATCH man called on Secre-
tary Loyejoy, he settled back in his chair
expecting to answer the usual questions
about the situation, but he frightened up at
once and the old smile broke out on his
face like the sudden eruption of geyser
when he was asked for information about
something not connected with Homestead.
''That report is not true" he answered.
"We have lots of offers from the owners of
patents on guns, but il wouldn't pay the
company to go into the business. We don't
make the variety of steel needed. The
high temper of the material requisite is
hard to attain.
Constant Struggle for Supremacy.
"We would also require force of skilled
men No, the profits would all 60 to the
other people, and we couldn't stand that l
suppose this rumor started from the fact
that we make plate. You know the rivalry
between the armor plate and projectile men
is very great As soon as some improve
ment increasing the resisting power OF plate
is made, it starts the projectile makers to
figuring out how it can be overcome.
1t wouldn't do for the same firm
to make plate and projectiles, ior
the one could be adapted to the other. At
different times we have looked into the gun
business, but with no intention of going
into it. Krupp is the great gunmaker of
the world. The general supposition is that
the German Government is back OF him. l
am told that Emperor Wilhelm is person.
ally interested in krupp's factory"
viii Start Duquesne on Monday.
Speaking of Homestead, Mr. Lovejoy said
that they had only sent up about 20 men
during the day. They were run in so fast
for a time that superintendent Potter asked
the firm 20 let M until he could sort the
employees This is being done now. Eighty
men are at work cleaning and repairing the
Duouesne plant Mr.. Lovejoy says the
works will be started on Monday with 800
of the old men in spite of the statement
made that the Amalgamated people had
withdrawn their applications.
"We are not worrying much about the
Beaver Falls MILL Mr.. Lovejoy continued.
''The sympathy strike there was playing
into our hands. The nail trade is very dull
at present and we kept the plant going to
keep it In repair and furnish our men with
work. II we had to go into the market to
buy billets / don't think we would start
again before next November 1t is true we
do a great deal of finishing there. By
taking billets from the Duquesne mill to
Beaver Falls in large quantities We
manage to make little profit"

terday morning. The company furnished
him with transportation to Baltimore and
he started tor home last night.
Before he left, Bell :. informed the
Advisory Board ehat he had been
tricked into coming to Homestead.
He had been hired as a pipe filter, but
directly after he arrived at the works he
was ordered to work with gang of negroes.
His wages were 81 40 for IL hours WORK.
The salary did not suit him and he quit.
1t proved an uneventful day to non-union
men in the mills. Superintendent Potter
was about the yard all day and was ap-
parently well satisfied with the situation:
'You may say in THE DISPATCH" said
Mr. Potter, "that all but two departments
of the works are now running on single
turn. By Monday every department will
be running on double turn and the mills
will all be manned. There are now SIX din
ing halls within the fence. Each OF these
halls has accommodation for 22O men;
multiply 900 by 6, and you have the exact
number of men now at work. We have all
the skilled workmen we want, and we are
bringing in no more for the simple reason
that we have no place for them. To my
mind the strike is broken"

Potter says that he has all the skilled men
he wants. Well, you can quote me as say.
ing that this is untrue. Mr.. Potter knows
the value of skilled labor, and is straining
every nerve to induce his old men to come
back. II he is satisfied with the new
hands why is he SO eager for his old men?"

THE TIDES ACTIVE WORK.
Plenty of Mon to Select From and Only the
Best Are Taken.

Plenty of Mon to Select From and Only the
Best Are Taken.
Captain Rogers took a hopeful view of
the Homestead strike yesterday afternoon.
His job boat, the Tide, has played an i'm
portant part in the incidents OF the past few
weeks, and he has kept in pretty close touch
with the incidents connected with the pres
ent trouble. When the subject was broached
he said:
eft you took notice to the trips made
to-day, it was perhaps evident that q
smaller number OF men than usual was
taken up the river. The fact is, the firm is
becoming particular as to who is taken into
the mills. There are plenty to select from,
and only the skilled men will now be
taken. The Homestead mills have their
complement of men, and those taken up now
take the place of those who fall out. Next
week the other mills will be started up.
The men not needed ct Homestead will be
moved to Duquesne. There are 1000 at the
former place now. The demonstrations at
the wharf on the departure will not amount
to anything, as the police will see that
order is maintained.
AS to how long the Tide would continue to
run to Homestead he would not say, but
talked as though her services would not be
needed much longer.

FIVE NEW RECRUITS.
They Enter the Upper Union Mill Yesterday
to Go to Work.

They Enter the Upper Union Mill Yesterday
to Go to Work.
At the Upper Union Mill yesterday the
Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, succeed
ed in securing five new recruits from Sharps-
burg, but for every one of the men who went
into the mill it is reported that at least two
deserted The new men are supposed to be
from the Moorhead mill They were brought
in over the Allegheny Valley Railroad at 6
o'clock in the morning, and are supposed to
be heaters and rollers.
Shortly after the recruits entered the
Upper mill ostensibly to 60 to work, the
locked-out Amalgamated men induced three
other non-unionIsts to join their ranks.
Later in the day several more came out and
the old workmen secured the promise of an
even dozen more that they would leave the
company's employ as soon as they can make
it convenient. One of the workmen who
has been engaged in the mill for a week
past and is in position to
know told several of the strikers that not a
single car load of good iron has been made
by the non-union men thus far.
A shearman is quoted as saying that the
amount of material from two furnaces so far
has amounted to only 6, 200 pounds which is
only about one-tenth of days work when
the mill is running full time. The gas
makers, mechanics and blacksmiths are still
ont.

THEY MARRIED In HASTE

And Now an Alderman Must Adjust Their
TroubIe-A Coiored Man Grows JeaI-
Gus OF His White Wife and Assaults
Her.
George Lee was arrested yesterday after
noon by constable Connolly, of Alderman
Donovan's Office. on the warrant sworn out
by his wife, Alice Lee. charging him with
assault and battery. The parties live at 1S3
East street, Allegheny, and the case prom
ises to be sensational one.
George Lee is colored man and Is high
up in colored social circles, being the owner
of his own property, president and secretary
of several lodges. He always wears a
golden shield to denote his authority. Mrs
Lee, on the other hand, is a decided blonde,
with bright blue eye and bewitching
smile. She is white and is said to be of
respectable parentage. Notwithstanding
the fact that she is said to be less than 1S
years of age, yet Lee was her second choice
in matrimonial life. she having buried her
first husband more than year ago.
The story is that Lee went to her house
to do some kalsomining and that the widow
was perfectly carried away with his manly
form. Lee realized this fact and at once
began to make love to her, declaring that
he would be ever faithful and true. His
words of wooing had the desired effect and
a speedy marriage followed.
After being married short time Mrs
Lee realized the folly of being an old man 8
darling and concluded that she would
rather be young mans slave. This spirit
of dislike for her husband was not openly
manifested until one day, the first of the
week, they attended picnic at Ross Grove
While in the grounds Mrs. Lee saw her
ideal and she began at once to regret the
ties which bound her and her husband to-
gether. Lee noticed the change and kept a
weather eye on his susceptible young
wife.
No breach occurred on the grounds, but
while en- route for the city Lee noticed his
wife wink at the fellow just across from
her. Instantly he was on his feet and was
making for his wife sadmirer, but the latter
OWNED his intentions and escaped by jump
ing from the train while running at full
speed.
There was high old time in the Lee
mansion when the pair arrived at home
Mr.. Lee removed his coat, rolled up his
sleeves and proceeded at once to make his
wife as black as he was. He succeeded ad-
mirably, especially in the locality Of the
eyes.
Upon the advice of friends Mrs. Lee went
before Alderman Donovan and charged her
husband with assaulting her. OfficerConnelly
arrested him just as he was leaving the
house on important business. He was COM
mitted to Jail in default of $500 bail for trial

THE POLICE INTERFERE.
The Crowd flinders the Work on and
About the Tide

About the Tide.
The Tide left yesterday afternoon with a
good cargo of provisions and supplies for
the Homestead mills Shortly after dinner
a crowd began to assemble on the shore and
on the Smithfeld bridge. By the time the
boat was ready to leave, the idlers on the
shore numbered several hundred. The
least mishap or incident would set them to
cheering and heaping epithets upon those
on the Tide. About dozen skiffs were put
in the river and remained near as though
ready to try to take some of the men
from the up river boat at the last moment
Captain Sllvus with squad of police put
in their appearance and soon dispersed the
crowd. The captain drove off the skiffs
and quiet was restored. These crowds have
become SO troublesome that the police have
to be called in each day to restore quiet,
and prevent work being hindered about the
wharfboat the Tide took up 20 men on
her afternoon trip and about the same num-
Der on each of her three trips yesterday.

Doctors find out by little practice
that they have to make allowances as
to the descriptions patients give OF their
symptoms. Excruciating pain means
one thing with one patient and another
with another. The poor creature who
has not slept for week does not get
so much pity from the doctor as the
more stoical sufferer who has simply
had one or two bad nights. Appetite,
too, is a comparative thing. A fright
full loss of it does not invariably mean
risk of starvation. The lady or gentle
man without appetite can still pick a
bit.
Mental feelings are also presented in
strangely erroneous forms Hearts are
broken and mended many times in a
life. The widow, so strict in her mourn
ing as only to play on the black keys
of her piano, was comforted at last.
