Colonel Norman NJ. smith Has Great Faith
in the Men.
Colonel Norman NJ. Smith, of the Eigh-
teenth Regiment, was at the Union depot
last evening. He has faith that the Home
stead trouble will be satisfactorily settled.
He had heard that an appeal had been made
to Governor Pattison, but he thought troops
wouldn't be necessary. If the worst came
to the worst, he suggested that it would be
good policy not to send the local regiments.
'As long as the affairs at Homestead are
under the control of the Amalgamated
Association" continued Colonel Smith,
nobody need have any fear of disorder.
The officials of this organization are sensible
and intelligent men, and are opposed to
outbreaks of any kind. The trouble is that a
rabble NAV collect and take things into their
own hands against the protest of the leaders
However, don't look for any trouble. I
havn't been in Homestead for a long time,
and my presence there now would only stir
up disorder. will say that the boys who
served In the coke country never received
SO much as thanks from the operators, and
they feel very sore about it.

Needy Applicants.
A gentleman connected with the Sheriff's
Office said yesterday: "It seems to me that

Sheriff had seized. Any day during the

Petersburg be says in part:
Cold, as well as hunger. causes terrible suner-
ing. In some neighborhoods large numbers OF
persons are huddled together in houses most
conducive TO warmth, while the barns have
been torn down and the boards used Tor nre-
wood. Even matched roofs are torn on ana the
straw made TO feel the dying embers. Clothing
Is given sway for bread, and horses
and cattle are sacrificed at one-nitn
their value. Fodder is as scarce as human
food. and in some cases horse flesh has been
sacrificed for sustenance. During the winter
there is no work and fathers have left their
wives and children to fight the battle OF want
alone, because they could do nothing, and their
absence left fewer mouths to feed at home.
The bread which many are eating is composed
OF wild arrsck. potato, chan and leaves, anc
these terrible conditions inevitably produce
disease Within radius of one mile there are
10 eases of typhus fever. Pesslsnce is decimat-
ing the reopte.
The official estimate OF the number OF those
without food or means of support who require
aid Is given as 100000 persons, and this Is
probably below the true number. The loss TO
Russia by the famine is estimated at $3.50, 100000
Up to the present time there have been few con-
tributions from abroad. but the governmentand
people of Russia are deeply sensible Of the spon-
taneous offers made in various parts OF the

made reference to the facts in the case
and severely scored the defendants.
Among other things he said:
Without any more apparen, cause than would
exist in case OF any OF the thousands who hon.
esty received checks from Bardsley during his
official career, you boldly and sensstionaliy
charged the prosecutor with being an accom-
plice Of q defaulter and sharer in his plumber.
Before the publication you had in your posses
sion the prosecutors denial, If any were needed.
In his sworn information he again ayerred
the falsity of the published charges. Had
your arrest been followed By a retrac-
ton, or even by silence, It would have
teen possible to infer that no malice instigaied
the original publication. You seemed de-
termined, however, 20 leave no possible room
for such inference. From one OF these Iibelous
editorials, published only a week before the
trial began, IL would seem that you were acting
on the amazing theory that If q newspaper &C.
cuses a man OF a crime he is conclusively pre-
sumed 10 be guilty untilhe proves his Innocence
in court of justice. az the trial, even after the
prosecutor had proved his innocence, you con-
ceded nothing fully, although unable TO offer
sclnfl!ia OF evidence 20 establish the truth OF
the charges and not more than seintills to
disprove. The case was so clear 70 make il alb
surd TO suppose any twelve men who could have
been selected from jury panel would have
acquitted You. Nearly two weeks have
elapsed since your conviction, yet not one word
OF explanation, retraction or apology has ap-
peareI in your newspaper. Under the circum-
stances, 10 make the sentence unduly light
would be to throw the proceedings into mock
err and 70 judicialiy condemn the trial.
In conclusion / may add that If you had
hbeled the humolest man in Beaver county TO
the same extent that you have traduced the
prosecutor the same sentence that is here
imposed would have been inflicted.
After sentence was passed, Mellon and
Porter were taken TO the county jail to
serve their terms. 1t is said that after a
short incarceration application will be
made to the board of pardons for their re-
lease. 1t is also rumored that the fines
will be paid by the Democratic state COM

THE JUDGEsHIP VACANCIES.
Appointees Not Decided Upon-Hanford
and Pritchard Are Favorites.

WAsHISGToN CRY, Feb. 1.-[Special. r.
Senator Allen called upon. the attorney
general on Saturday to find out if he had
any recent consultation with the president
in reference to the appointment Of the
judges in the Eighth and Ninth judicial dis
tricts. The attorney general said that the
matter had been given little attention In
his department. during the last two weeks.
Today Senator Allen said he was con-
WINGED that the president had not given
the judicial appointments any considera-
ton because of the time he
had to devote to the Chill
can imbroglio during the last
few weeks. Other senators seen by the
PosT-INTELIIGENcER correspondent today
said that they had no information regard
ing the probable action of the president
upon this matter. Senator Davis, of Min
nesota, who is urging the appointment of
Judge Samborn, of st. Paul, IN the Eighth
district, said that the last time he called
on the president he was busily engaged
with the Chilean war correspondence, so
he had no time to talk with the
senator regarding the judicial appoint
ments. Mr.. Davis said tonight that he
had no idea when the appointments
would be made and who the lucky candi-
dates would be in either of the remaining
districts. In some quarters, however, it is
believed that the president will take the
judgeship matter up for consideration at
once, and there is bare possibility that
he will send TO the Senate the appoint
ments for these two districts during the
present week. The Washington delega-
ton still stick to Hill, but in the event
that his appointment is impossible they
are for Hanford for the circuit iudgeship
and Pritchard to I'LL the vacancy made by
the elevation of Hanford.
