Homestead Affairs.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 9.-The Car
negie company seems to have checked
the retreat of its non-union men which
began yesterday morning. No further
assertions are reported and several of
those who left Saturday night returned
to-day. The firm claims that no incon-
venience resulted from the leaving OF
the men yesterday and that the mill is
operating as smoothly as before. The
number of applications for positions
from old men continues to increase,
but the men are afraid to report at
this time.
A dispatch from Duquesne this morn
ing states that the mill is working
smoothly and goes on double turn at
once. Several of the workers there
tried to exact Il promise yesterday
from the men that they refuse to work
material for Homestead. The steel
workers, however, did not give en-
couraging assurances and it is probable
that they are too BADLY beaten 10 rebel

Fish, of Hartford, that he Fish) be-
licved that Miss Lizzie Borden and Mr..
Morse concocted the murder Of the old
couple and hired some one to do it, said
that his counsel had advised him to
have nothing to say for publication.
He added, however, "You know as
well as l do what grounds there are for
such an absurd charge as that. 1t is en-
tirely unreasonable. That is all I will
say" This morning Bridget Sullivan,
the servant girl in the Borden family,
was summoned to the central police
station. Miss Sullivan was brought
before the men to undergo thorough
examination as to the facts before and
after the murders as far as she knew
them. While the servant was in the
court room locked up with the authori-
ties Mr.. J. V. Morse was walking along

PoLITICAL.-There was a joint dis
cussion at Louisa yesterday between B.
3. Turner, third party candidate for
Congress i'll this district, and Hon. John
E. Massey. Turner lead ofiin Il speech
in which he devoted most of his time to
discussion Of the silver question,
charging the democratic party, with
Cleveland at its head, as its worst enc
my. Mr.. Massey began by replying to
the ''sub-treasury" scheme, upon which
his opponent dwelt so infinitely, which
he showed up in this manner /:
Every few of those before me have land
or non-perishable property which they
could pledge to the government for
money bearing 2 per cent. interest.
The poor men, who need most money,
could get nothing from the govern
ment, and the rich man would borrow
from the government at 2per cent. and
lend to the poor at 6 per cent or more"
He spoke for an hour and quarter, re-
futing every charge Mr.. Turner made,
saying that he would keep on turning
and twisting and on the 18th of Novem-
Der still be Turner.
The people of Louisa say that never
was man so completely vanquished
as was Mr.. Turner.
Mr.. ]. Brad. Beverly made speech
at Martinsville yesterday during which
he abused the democratic party in I'M
measured terms; upheld the force bill,
declaring it was not half as bad as the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bill; crying
Away with the solid South! !" HAway
with Mason & Dixon's line " and
Down with the democracy" He
claimed that Weaver is better friend
to the South than Cleveland. The
speech will do much to consolidate the
democracy of Henry county.
Judge n. II. Hairston replied to Mr..
Beverly and. it is said, "sewed him up
with single stitch"

preached Winston Tunnel on the Fris-
co road last night it was tagged by the
Waterman, who said that ten or twelve
armed men had been making particu-
lar inquiries concerning the train. The
conductor backed to the station, and
as the train started back three armed
men who got aboard at Winslow jump
ed of and disappeared. A strong force
of deputy marshals went down and
guarded the train through. When the
train first left Winslow shot was fired
on the mountain side near by. This
was repeated near the tunnel, and it is
supposed that it was intended for a
signal for the gang that the train was
coming. 1t was found they had pre-
pared for the holding up at high tres
tie near the west end.

The Gold Train.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The special
train which has brought $20,0O0O00ir
gold coin from the United States sub
treasury at San Francisco went into the
west train shed of the Grand Central
station at 1910 this morning. As soon

and ran it over to the west SIDE Of The
yard at 46th street, where eight bio
two-horse mail vans and three expires,
wagons were waiting to transfer the
gold to the sub-treasury at Wall and
Nassau streets. 4 number of postal
clerks were on hand and rapidly car.
ried out the boxes containing the bull.
lion and placed them in the waiting
wagons. The train left San Francisco
on the evening Of August / and has
been running on regular passenger
time although it has had the
right OF way all along the route.
Altogether there were lilty-one persons
on the train, OF whom forty-liyc were
armed guards The transfer Of the
gold was ordered by Secretary Foster
on account of the large accumulation of
specie at The San Francisco sub-nea>-
ury. The supply there exceeded all
probable requirements by more than
100000, 0GO, and the exhaustion of tie
supply in New York caused by the IL
crcasing ships of gold to Europe. Tie
coin was packed in 500 small boxes.

days for the entire force at the San
Francisco sub-treasury to count the
money.
1t is said that another shipment east
of a similar amount, and perhaps Two
more, viii be made from San Francisco
before long, for they have at least SIC
100000 in specie out on the Pacific
coast that they can easily spare. The
sub-treasury in Wall street is strongly
fortified against any attack that may
be made against it. There are four
Calling guns within its walls, in add

State democratic convention will be
called to order at noon to-day. Practi-
cally there will be nothing to do except
to nominate Judge Peter Turney, the
only democratic candidate for Govern
or, thereby ratifying the action taken
in the primaries during the recent
months. The convention is entitled 10
1,G04 delegates but not more than LOGO
or !, 200 will be present. Gov Buchan-
an, acknowledgements, withdrew his
name from consideration by this con-
vention several days ago, it being
evident that Turney had secured 4 ma
jority of the votes at the primaries. 1t
is thought the absent delegates are OPP
posed to Turney and will not support
him if Governor Buchanan will run as
an Independent.

HIS FIRST LOVE 0BJEcTs.-NIiss Reba
Greiner, pretty and accomplished
young girl, about eighteen years of age,
whose home is in Baltimore, is sorely
afflicted through the duplicity of her
lover, Thomas Mathis, of Hammonton,
\. J. Mathis is the captain of large
coasting schooner, and, some months
ago, while in Baltimore, made desperate
love to Miss Greiner. With the inten-
ton of making her his bride, Mathis
went to Baltimore last week, and
carried her to his mothers but with her
arrival trouble began. 1t appears that
Mathis had also wooed won and prom
ised marriage to Miss Bertha Gage, a
pretty young school teacher, who, on
the strength of his promises, had given
her honor to the man of her choice
Mathis, however, showed disposition
to postpone the wedding, and Miss
Gage had reason to feel very much
alarmed. When her dilatory lover ar
rived in town with his second intended
bride, Miss Gage lost all patience, and
declined to listen longer to his oft
repeated promises, and by advice of
friends Immediately brought suit for
$4,000 damages, for breach of promise.
Mathis was arrested, and bound over to
appear at court, when Miss Gage will
offer a bouncing baby boy, as evidence
of his faithlessness. Miss Greiner, who
had fully anticipated becoming Mrs.
Mathis on her arrival at Hammonton,
was greatly shocked at these develop
ments, yet seems determined to remain
steadfast to the man who has won her
heart.

BATHED IN FULL DREss.-A rather
startling event happened last week at
Ocean City, Md. A fair maid, who is
fond of bathing, had been forbidden by
her mother to don her stunning cos
tune and go into the surf one morning.
The maid had been bathing to excess
and mamma thought her daughter
needed to be restricted. The maid was
defiant and said she would battle. Then
mamma hid her stunning suit, but the
maid arrayed herselfin her most stylish
white dress and before the eyes Of
hundreds deliberately walked into the
surf. Women screamed and men yelled,
but the young damsel with will of her
own kept on until the water was up to
her shoulders. A policeman went after
her, but all the satisfaction she gave to
his query was, I don't know that it is
any of your business. This costume
suits me to battle in" And battle she
did for few minutes, when she return
ed to the beach with water dripping
from the pretty dress, all ruined.

before the seven o'clock whistle blew,
crying to each other, " the jig is up; we

The Carnegie Company has now two
ofits mills at work with full compile
nnents of non-union men. Now, the

strike, but if so, the knowledge of such
a result has been sedulously kept from

Most OF the white members OF the
G. A. r. in New Orleans having with
drawn from that organization in conse-
quence of the order that they must, in
the assemblagcs thereof, associate on
terms of equality with the negro mem
bers, the latter now control the organi-
zation there, and at meeting last Sun
day elected negro delegates to the ma
tional encampment, and adopted a
resolution to establish soldiers homein
New Orleans, to which negroes shall be
admitted. If the negroes i'll all the
other posts of the G. A. r. in the South
would do as those in New Orleans have
done, they would soon have control OF
the whole organization in this section,
and would either constitute an inlluen-
-tial factor in the national encampments
or else, and more probably, be entirely
eliminated therefrom.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. o, 1892.

If THE recent decision of the Judge
of Prince Georges county, Md, in the
Hyattville single tax case, be sustainec'
the farmers and other land owners OF
that county will be in a bad way, Tor
al that majority of Elm he respect
i've communities in which they may live,
would have to do to relieve themselves
entirely of taxation, would be to vote
that nothing else than land shall be
taxed. and that al revenue shall be
raised bv a tax on land; and as i'll every
community there are fewer land owners
than other people, and as human ma
ture is essentially selfish, the lot of the
farmer would be any thing else than
happy. That the rich man who owns
houses, and bonds, and stocks, and
horses, and carriages, and yachts,
should be totally exempt from taxation,
and have the expense of the preserya-
ton of his life and property put upon
the poor land owner, may be just and
proper, according to the new lights, but
that it does not seem so, according to
the old ones, goes without saying.
