The Constables left at once for Homestead
and sre now looking for the men.
The news created q great deal ofexcite-
ment among the strikers. as it was believed
by them that nothing would be done for the

BuRGEss n N'LUCKIE sURRENDERs.
When the constables returned to the Office
Of Alderman MeMaster they found that
Burgess John McLuekie had predceeded
them, and had surrendered himself W J.
Bremen, attorney for the Amalgamated As
sociatiOn, was there eonferring with Mr..

that be had dispatched q friend to Home

A number of Mr.. MeLuekie's friends men,
bers Of the Amalgamated Association, soon
arrived. The question was asked:
"Mr. MeLuckie, were you in the fight at

That is a question propose to have sift-
ed in the court. 1t is all a mistake to call
Mr.. O'DOnnell and myself leaders. We were
among the smallest people in the whole
town. was a member OF the Amalgama-
Association. 1 don't know whether / am
at present, or not. I might as well come
out with it, and say that informations viii
be made against H. C. Frick. We will make
informations against Carnegie, Frick and
Potter. Whether against rnyone else can
not tell yet. We will make this man Frick
come down on his knees so hard the sound

zation. InformatiOns against these people
are now being prepared.
M'LUCKIE Co.'s TO JAIL.
At S O'Clock in the evening none Of Mr..
M'Luckie's eo-defendants in the case had ap-
peared, and Alderman McMasters committed
him to Jail. Before the commitment the
prisoner had consultation with Attorney
Bremen, who told him that an effort would
be made to have him and the other defend
ants released on bail this morning.
Burgess MeLuckie started to jail in charge
Of Constable VI. J. Price, and accompanied
by Jere Dougheriy, an Amalgamated Asso-
ciation official, and Thomas Cogan and Geo.
Clark, two mill workers. At the entrance to
the Jail McLuckie shook hands warmly
with his friends and went inside. In the
prison Office the warden searched the pris-
oner, and as Price handed over the commit
ment the warden asked, What is your
name?7
John McLuckie, of Homestead" was the
reply.
No further conversation passed between
the Two. Nothing of an Objectionable ma
ture was found in the defendants pockets.
One article taken from them was the key to
the Homestead lookup.
The bearing was set for next Friday, but
no hour was fixed.
1t IS the purpose, as above stated, to go
into court this morning and seizure permis-
sion to bail The prisoner and other defend
ants. Opinions as to whether this could be
done varied last night.
