A GREAT IRON STRIKE AT HAND.
Manufacturers Refuse to Sign the Scale
of the Amalgamated Association.

Manufacturers Refuse to Sign the Scale
of the Amalgamated Association.
PITTsBURG, June 15.-There is serious
disagreement on the wage question be-
the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers and the iron manu-
facturers, and unless there is
compromise effected there will be a general
strike on July 1. The Amalgamated AS
sociation has completed it's Western scale
of prices governing the wages of the iron
mills today, and the scale was pre-
sented to the Pittsburg manufacturers at
conference this afternoon.
The scale is chiefly surprising from the
fact that the high-priced workers had
their wages cut. The joint conference
was in session nearly three hours, and
then adjourned without arriving at any
agreement. Both sides are firm. The
manufacturers insist that they will not
sign any scales but their own. If a strike
is ordered it will affect 100000 men, and
cause an almost general suspension of
work in the mills of Pittsburg and the
West

FATHER MOLLINGER Is DEAD.
"A Faith Cure Priest Succumbs to q Sur
gical Operation.

PITT sBURG, June 15.-Rev. Father H.
Mollinger, the. renowned faith cure
priest, died this afternoon from the effects
of surgical operation for rupture of the
stomach. Father Mollinger was stricken
last Monday while ministering to the
thousands of pilgrims that had come from
all parts of the country to be healed. He
gradually grew worse, and tody an opera
ton was performed for rupture OF the
stomach. Instead of its re-
liev:ng him be began to sink
rapidly and died In few
hours. When the tidings became known
to the people of the vicinity of the church
the excitement was intense. Hundreds of
invalids who were boarding near the
church in hopes of being healed were
stricken with terror and many were heard
to exclaim that there was no hope for their
recovery. Father Mollinger was over 20
years of age, and was reputed to be worth
two or three million dollars. The fame Of
his miracles is worldwide
Father Mollinger was the pastor OF a Catholic
church on Troy hill, in Allegheny City, and had
held that charge for many years. He has long
made practice of gathering large numbers OF
sick people to his church at certain periods and
would heal them by amounting them and admin
isterirg medicine, but very largely by an appeal
to the patients faith in the divine power of
healing with which he proiessed TO be endowed.
Thousands of persons were said to have been
healed by him, including many apparently help
less cripples and sufferers from spinal diseases.
At the tine when he began his series of
special services for healing the sick Troy

Allegheny river and inhabited chiefly by Ger
mans would be black with the assembled mu.-
titude, and every house on the hill and in the
vicinity would swarm with the sick ana their
relatives. At first Father Mo!l;ngers fame was
only local but it gradually spread TO all parts of
America and reached Europe. II must be re-
membered that he did not profess 10 heal en-
tirely by arousng the patients faith, but ad-
ministered material remedies as well. His
church was immensely enriched by the dona.

THAT ASSASSINATION.

Another chapter in the assassination
| fake sent out from this city some two
| weeks ago has come to light by dispatch
sent out from Topeka TO the Kansas City
Journal Sunday night. which says:
The biggest sensation connected with
the late Kansas campaign was made pub
nc today. 1t is the public confession of L..
>. Harvey, assistant secretary of the Peo-
pies party campaign committee.
Harvey has been charged with giving
out the secrets of the committee, and, this
morning. 60 defend himself, he exposed
| the plot which was arranged in Topeka to
have an attempt made to assassinate Jerry
simpson. Harvey says the parties to the
scheme were w. G. Jones, chairman of the
Democratic state committees; Breidenthal,
chairman of the Peoples party, and Jerry
Simpson. The Object was to create sym
pathy for Simpson and aid in his election.
The pls II, says Secretary Harvey, was
to have Simpson return to his district and
be waylaid and beaten and bruised,
| and the pretended effort to assas-
slnate him, the letters to be found regard
ing the employment of Il man to murder
| him. as has been Published, and the whole
to offset southern outrages and Great SYM
pathy for Simpson. During the discussion
of this scheme Jerry objected to being
beaten aud bruised up, but he was talked
out of the opinion and agreed to undergo
the punishment, but insisted that che fell
low who did the pounding must not carry
it too fur"
Mr.. Harvey further SAYS that sowing to
the biunder of Simpsons district chair
man, the letters Offering s. 900 reward &c
the man who would murder Simpson were
found, and the sham attempt AT assasina-
| ton was prevented.
when General Weaver was here Chair
man Breidenthal urged him TO hire some-
one to walk beside Weaver's carriage aud
pelt him with eggs. so that the outrage in
the south might be- repeated in Kansas,
the object being to place the blame on the
| Republicans"
{ The exposure by Harvey has created a
great deal of excitement here, and many
| threats are made against him. He went
to his home, fifteen miles from Topeka, TO-
day, and telegram was sent him advis-
ing him not to come to Topeka.

hernia, Croatia, Dalmatia and Jewish
Russia, are simply transplanted in their
entirety when individual members of
them settle here. To this fact are
traceable the frequent mysterious muir
ders which periodically startle the pub
lie. occurring in those districts especial
" where the lower class of immigrants
congregate.
To instance this we will begin with
the Omladina, secret society which
first spread southwark from Bessarabia
and westward to Hungary, Servia, Bos-
MIA and Croatia It is now the most
powerful one among our Hungarian
and Slavak population, and in their ma
tive lands its wide ramifcations have
long been known to the authorities.
Information CLEANED from special
sources goes TO prove that the Omladi-
mas influence continues to prevail
among its members long after they
emigrate, for the same system of hold
ing together and observing the tradi-
tions of their secret mutual bond is
Characteristic of the expatriated Hun
garian working in the Pennsylvania
coal mines, or in the great industrial
concerns of that state, or still further
west.
Here is the situation: A certain boss
workman is obnoxious to a large num-
Der of his men and they resolve to IRE
move" him The next question is how
shall it be done. The conspirators be-
ing loyal members Of the Omladina,
proceed Systematically, and after the
secret session which has decreed the
removal" dissolves, a piece of red pa
per is sent to another village where
members of the order are numerous.
This contains the name of the victim
and is addressed to one of the faithful
selected by a majority vote to carry out
the sentence The latter knows the
scarlet missive means bloodshed, so he
forthwith arms himself with knife and
revolver and proceeds to the village
whence it came. Arriving there he goes
to the residence of the local head Of the
order, and as he enters places the index
finger Of his right hand upon the
Adams apple of his throat-thus giving
the secret sign Of identifcation-fol-
lowing this up by the password, pc
culiarly framed and lengthy sentence,
the exact translation of which even the
writer has been unable to secure.
Then the two proceed to business; the
chief arranges for the commission OF
the deed, and dispatches the murderous
emissary upon his fatal errand. Notn-
ing more is known until the COM
munity is aroused to the contempla-
ton of the assassin's work. Suspicion
may rest upon any one of the Hungari-
ans or Croats dwelling in the immediate
vicinity. but it is, of course, impossible
to establish a case against them, be-
