PITTsBURG. July 1S-John McLuckie,
Burgess, of Homestead, is sleeping tonight
on n'oot In one of the cells in the county
jail. kilograms are being sent to dozen
points between here and New York seeking
the aid of police authorities for the arrest
of Hugh O'Donnell, the leader of the
strikers. and warrants are in the hands of
the officers of the law for several other
prominent participants in the troubles
at Homestead, and who are but the van
guard of a small army of strikers that it is
proposed to bring before the bar of the
law. The intention of the Carnegie COM
pany to institute criminal proceedings
against the Homestead leaders in the event
of the county authorities failing to take
cognizance of the recent riot was carried
into effect much quicker than had been an
ticlpated. or than the authorities at the ex-
ecutive Offices who had feared the effect OF
the premature publication Of their inten-
lions. were willing to admit. x,s.S.s
1t was shortly before noon when Secre-
tary Lovejoy of the Carnegie Company
sauntered leasurely into the Office of Al
derman McMaster at Diamond and Grant
streets He was unaccompanled and bv q
coincidence, nobody but the Alderman
was In the Office at the time, the constablcs
attached to the place being behind closed
doors of the ante-room. Secretary Lovejoy
stated that he desired to lay inform alton
against q number of men charging the
crime of murder and the Alderman pro-
ceeded to draw up the papers. When the
papers had been completed Secretary
Lovejoy listened to the readingof the OATH
kissed the Bible, appended his signature to
the information. bnttoned his sack coat
shook hands with the Justice and
sauntere out of the office as leisurely ana
to all outward appearance as free from care
and anxiety as he had entered half hour
before. No time was lost by Justice Nc
Masters in making out the fourteen war
rants and shortly before 2 o'clock they
were intrusted to the constables
GENERAL sNowDEN ASSISTS.
On the arrival of the constables at Home
stead they made known their business to
General Snowden, who referred them to
Colonel Green. in command of the provost
guard. The latter detailed two companies
of soldiers to accompany the constables,
and the latter visited the houses OF oil 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
started to this city at toward dusk they
were surprised to find that Burgess Nc
Luckie had gotten out of town while they
were searching for him. and had already
surrendered himself to the alderman. He
was In the Office In company with attorney
Bremen, of the Amalgamated Association,
and several friends. The warrant was
formally served upon him, and to the mag
istrate he said that he had airesdy sent
word TO the other men who were wanted to
come into town in the morning and eur
render. To those around him McLuckie
said thathe and O'Donncll were not lend
ers bat among the smallest of the strikers,
and as for himself he did not know if he
was any longer member of the associs-
tion. He wont on to say: II might as we'll
come out with lt and gay that information
will be laid against Frlck. Carnegie and
Potter. Whether We will bring any one
you we will make this man Frick come
down on his knees SO hard that the sound
will be heard In the farthest corner of CIV
ilization."

once the warrants issned We will have

Alderman McMaeters waited In his Office
until o'clock. and then. mono of the other

men, he walked TO the county Jail. On the
outside be shook hands with his friends
and then passed through the iron gate.
After being searched by Chief w arden No
Alese, who found in his pockets nothing
more dangerous than the key TO the Home
stead lookup, he was taken TO cell of the
first tier and locked up. Half an hour
later he was fast asleep.
Secretary LovejOy, OF the Carnegie CON-
pany, was IN good spirits tonight over the
snccess of has maneuver. and in an in
terview explained at length the cir
cumstances under which the step had
been taken. He said: These iniorma-
tions were entered IN my capacity as n pri-
vate citizen, and not as secretary of the
Carnegie Steel Company. There are
good cases against these men, and
from now on from ten to fifteen IN
formations will be made each day.
1t is my intention 90 make them as fast as
tho authorities can handle them. We
have evidence against one thousand men,
and we propose TO push these eases.
The laws of Pennsylvania are very broad
on this subject, and the persons who
were on the premises at the time of
