AFRAID OF THEIR DESERTS.
A Judge Who Has Sentenced 73 Murderers
Causes a Prison Panic

Causes a Prison Panic.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. May 6-[Speciaz J.
Judge Parker, of the United States District
Court at Fort Smith, Ark, and who during
his term has passed sentence of death upon
73 murderers, principally from the Indian
Territory, the last two of whom were exc
cuted week ago, is in the city. Judge
Woodson, of the Criminal Court, is quite
ill, and asked Judged Parker to sit on the
bench in mis- place during the present term
of court. This fact coming to the knowl-
edge Of the prisoners confined in the
Buchanan county Jail caused panic among
them, as they at once concluded that justice
would be meted out to them and would not
be tempered with mercy. When Miller,
the murderer of Merchant Smith, of Rush
vile, heard the news his face blanched with
terror, and he was seized with veritable
ague Of fright.
The prison officers added to the commo-
tion by increasingly discussing the prob
able speedy conviction of Jacques Lavalette,
the murderer of his brother, Pierre and
Sim Hughes, the colored girl assailant All
in all, the fright among the prisoners was
something unprecedented, and it is doubt
full if any of them will breathe freely until
Judge Parker takes his departure from
Missouri.

Wheeler Refused to Sit Down.

sTt is not point of order then that you
want" said Mr.. Mcintosh angrily, address,
ing Mr.. Wheeler, "but you wish to call at
tention to my language"
Mr. Wheeler-Bishop, want my point
decided.
The Bishop said something, but it could
not be heard Mr. Mcintosh began to speak
again, but was instantly cut off by Mr..
Wheeler, who, in ringing tones, demanded
that the Bishop state whether the point of
order was well taken.
'It is entertained, said the Bishop, "sit
down Brother Mcintosh"
The latter, however, did not hear the de-
cision and remained standing.
"Sit down, tell you" said the Bishop.
"Well, what is your decision?" asked Mr..
Mcintosh.
.'You are out of order, sit down." was the
reply.
There were cries here of gag law and it
was some time before quiet was restored.
Amendments and substitutes then came
pouring in until there were half dozen
motions before the house. One man in the
rear of the house declared the speakers were
making 'bunco speeches"
Rev. Alexander Walters, of New York,
suggested that an auditing committee be
appointed to inquire into the affairs of the
Sabbath school department. Several other
motions were put and a compromise finally
reached by which the entire matter was
left to the Board of Bishops.
Fought Over Naming the Delegates.
A motion to send fraternal greetings
by delegates to the A. NJ. E. Con-
ference in Philadelphia and the NJ. E Con-
ference at Omaha had to be laid over on ac-
count of the disorder over the naming of
the delegates.
Bishop Harris suggested that when the
delegate went to Philadelphia he should
be instructed to invite the A. NJ. E. Con-
ference to send commissioner to this city
to sit with the A. NJ. E. Zion Conference
tor the purpose of forming basis of union
between the two bodies.
Another attempt was then made to elect
the Bishop at once, but it was decided to
hold off until after the quadrennial address,
which will be delivered by Bishop Harris
this morning. Bishop Moore announced

NEW BISHOPS TO BE ELECTED TO-DAY

The third days session of the Grand
Conference of the A. NJ. Z. Zion Church, at
Wesley Chapel, on Wylie avenue, was as
full of storms as an April day. Bishop
Thompson presided, and on several occa-
sions he had to tell the members OF the
august body they were like flock of
geese" and that 'if they didn't shut up he
would put them out" The election OF the
three new bishops was put off until to-day,
although there was serious fight over it.
The afternoon session of the Conference
was the liveliest of any that has yet been
held. Disorder prevailed almost continually,
and it was beyond the power of the presid-
ing Bishop to maintain the least semblance
of order. Twas seldom that any respect
was accorded to his dignifed position, and
the marshal, despite the significance of the
large oaken cane he carried, was powerless
to restore any sign of peace or secure the at
tention that the bishops requested. There
was no special cause for the unruly conduct
that was manifested, and Notwithstanding
the clearest explanations of some of the
questions In dispute, there were delegates
who would not become impressed thereby
and the room would again be thrown into
confusion.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-05-07
How the Disturbance Started.

The first disturbance in the afternoon was
motion to appoint committee on Sabbath
School Union. Nearly the whole Confer
ence arose in a body and claimed the floor.
Bishop Thompson gave up and threw down
the gavel. This sign OF submission so
touched the delegates that one by one they
sat down. Prof J. @. Price then moved to
substitute the name "Sunday School
Unions" Again another wild scene fol-
lowed, and it was then developed that at
present there Is O committee on Sabbath
schools. A number of delegates desired an
other committee in con junction with this
committee, intimating that the money un-
der the control of the Committee on Sab
bath Schools would be disposed of with
more care. A number of other delegates
thought the idea of having an additional
committee would be an insult of the deepest
kind to the members of the committee now
in charge.
Above the din the voice of Rev. P. j.
Mcintosh was heard He said: "You can't
hoot the idea of Sunday school union out
of existence"
This seemed to restore silence and the
speaker was about to proceed when Rev. B.
F. Wheeler, of New Jersey, called for the
privilege of stating point of order. Mr..
Mcintosh refused to be interrupted. A
chorus of voices then chimed in with cries
for the Bishops attention. Mr.. Wheeler
secured it first and was told to state his
point He said there was q motion before
the house ard that Mr.. McIrtosh was not
speaking to the issue. He then began to
elaborate on the word "hoot" that had been
used, and said it was a discourtesy to the
officers and members that such language
could be permitted. This brought on
another storm,

History of the Trouble.

The strike at Homestead is the result of
fight between Andrew Carnegie and the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers. The Amalgamated Association
consists of 60,0 600 members.
The immediate causes of the strike may be
summed uo as follows: The appointment of
H. - Fricx, who is known to be opposed to
organized labor as Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Carnegie Steel Associa-
ton; the declaration of an ultimatum to
toe Amaigamated Association, and the al
legged neglect OF Mr.. Carnegie to arbitrate.
Representatives of the Amalgamated Asso-
clifton state that the new scale contemplated l
sucn sweeping reductions that the men were
not abe to sign it.
After a long discussion the work
men agreed to accept a minimum price
for steel billets of 624 a ton. Mr..
Frics. however, would not go beyond
S23 This made difference of 81 per ton.
An ultimatum was then madc by Mr.. Frick
tnat the new wage scale be signe1 by mid
night of June "a, and that after that hour
there would be no conferences, Immedi-
ately after tais Mr.. Carnegie's representa-
tives began TO fortify the works at Home
stead.
The great steel works at Homestead cover
110 acres. Twelve big buildings and score
OF smaller shops and sheds occupy much Of
the space. Among these are the converting
mill, where Bessemer steel is made, the beam
mill, the plate mill. the armor plate mill,

Passaic City record., 1892-07-09

ment the ten-inch, the twenty y-two-inch and
the 119-inch mill and the big plate pressing
room.
The water for the works comes from the
Monongahela River and is sufficient in guam
tity to supply town of so, 600. One hum
dred and fifty boilers run the great engines,
the pumps and the steam hammers.
Natural gas for fuel is furnished by the
company's own well. About 1900 men are
employed, and the OUTPUT is four times as
big as from the great Krupp works in Ger
many.
The Carnegie company has purchased 100
additional acres and will add it to the works
next year. 1t is already fenced in by heavy
barbed wire.
The steel works are completely surrounded
by stout board fence twelve feet high,
built upon foundation of Stag three feet
high. The fence is three miles long and is
strung along the top with three strands OF
bsrbed wire SO connected with the electric
plant that the turning of switch makes the
wires alive with a powerful current OF cleo
tricity.
Hydrants are stationed at frequent inter-
walls, from which great streams OF hot or
cold water can be poured. The fence Is
lighted with electric lights, while powerful
search lights make the approaches as clear
as day. Four-inch portfolios are bored IN
the fence The Office is fenced additionally
and railroad track connects it with the
Munhall station.
A bridge connects the Office with a build
ing outside the works. The place has been
completely fortified, and preparations have
been made to accommodate an army OF de-
tenders.
A big camera has been set up to take in
stantaneous pictures in case of riot. On the
river front is an armed steel launca.

would be less bellows-mending In running

CLARKsoN, Nichols, Lowe, Quinn, Stiv-

a very pretty triple play. He caug ght line

THERE has been lots of talk that the
double championship season is not popular,

umpires and sick players.
