LEFT THE AMALGAMATED.
The Men Who Took Positions at Beav
Falls Now NOn-Union Men.

The Men Who Took Positions at Beaver
Falls Now Non-Union Men.
Honor Lodge of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, of New Castle, has answered the
series OF questions regarding the actions of
a number of its members in going to Beaver
Falls and taking the vacancies of the strik-
ers The questions created great stir in
Amalgamated Association circles Just
before the Beaver Falls strike was declared
off dozen or more AmaIgamated men from
New Castle went to Beaver Falls and went
to work. A few days later the strike was
declared off and the new men were re-
tanned. The questions referred to were ad-
dressed to the men, and were in substance
as follows: "Did you know the strike was
to be declared of, and if you did who told
you?" "Did you consult your lodge
(Honor) before you went to work?" care
you still members of the Amalgamated As
sociation?" A committee of three from
Honor Lodge were appointed to answer the
questions, as the men referred to refused to
say word.
This committee makes the following
statement: mo information could come
to us as lodge, and if the men who went
to Beaver Falls knew the strike was to be
declared of, they knew it from outside
sources not connected with the Association.
We say most emphatically that the men
who went to work at the Carnegie mills did
not consult~the lodge before going We
will say further that these men are not now
members of the Amalgamated Association
and will not likely be until they explain
their position in this case. They have
acted badly, and what they did was without
the consent or knowledge of Honor Lodge.

Foster, was hospital steward at Homestead
mill for two months. He started in the
doctors Office about August z. He said:
Il noticed sickness as soon as started IN,
hut 1t didn't amount to much until about
September /. got sick about the middle
of August and continued in that state, get
ting worse and worse, until removed, at
the request of my father, to the hotel.
Here l improved, but was not well by any
means, being obliged to take my dinners
sometimes down in the mill.
Blamed the Water for Sickness.
'"rhere was a great deal of talk at that time
about the effects of the water among the
doctors. Then 1 heard complaints on all
sides about the taste of the coffee. Many
said it was chickory, a root which is some
times used as substitute for coffee. but it
was contended that chicSory would not
make that disagreesble taste which the mill
coffee had. Others blamed condensed milk
but all noticed that the coffee bad not the
natural taste. The doctors never discussed
the possibility of poison in the coffee. The
coffee was the only bad thing that we had
given US. When the coffee was poured out
it would have bead on it like beer. 1t
was part of my duty to- carry coffee from
No. restaurant to the hospital patientE
1t seemed to have bad effect on them so
DR.. Weible thought coffee did not agree
with them and cut their allowance down to
once q day. A graduate of the Boston
School of Technology, upon his return from
a months stay at the hospital, was laid low
again in three davs by the drug. 1 took
opium and bismuth until l went to sleep
and could hardly be awakened, yet it had
no effect on the diarrhea Otis Childs and
Dr. Weible had conferences every day
about the great number of cases throughout
the mill, but never reached any conclusions
about the matter. We had 80 to 80 appli-
cations day at the hospital fer treatment,
and would always have at least 90 who were
laid out by the disease. Coffee was the
only thing that would remain on my stom-
ach when I was sick.

NOTIFIED THE MAYOR.

Industrial Alliance Delegates Tell His
Honor He Is Their Candidate-He
Asks for Time to Consider-The Polit-
ical Situation Still Puzzle.
There was little improvement in the
chaotic condition of local politics yester-
day. The leading politicians of both parties
were busy all day comforting and sending
for their henchmen both at City Hall and
the Court House, but what it all meant no
one could tell A number of Republicans
who are known to have been set up as dele
gates for DR.. .McCandless for Mayor were
among those called in, and it was learned
that some of them declined to obey re-
quest to forsake McCandless and walk into
the convention as uninstructed delegates
A numbers of others agreed to the propos-
1t1on, and were instructed not to pledge
themselves until the convention meets.
Senator Finn and Chief Brown each de-
clared ignorance of who would probably be
the Mayoralty candidates. Mr.. Brown said
the convention would name the man'and he
didn't believe anyone would have an idea
who he will be until the vote of the dele
gates Is announced. 1t was reported that
the object of Dick Quay's visit here was to
induce Postmaster Mexican to become
come here tomorrow or Friday tor the
same purpose. Mr.. Mexican and Mr.. Quay
both deny talking on the subject at all.
The Executive Committee of the Indus
trial Alliance called on Mayor Gourley at
his residence last night and formally noti-
fed him of his nomination for Controller
by their party. 7. j. Mcdonnell was
spokesman for the party and made an elabo-
rate speech. The Mayor listened attentively.
When he replied he thanked his visitors
cordially for the honor done him and prom
ised to give his answer in two or three days.
The Alliance will send out $1,000 printed
copies of its platform to-day.
Mayor Gourley returned from the West
Yesterday. He saws he has no idea whether
the Democrats will nominate him or not
and has not talked to- the leaders on that
subject. The name of Pressly Fleming as
a Democratic candidate for Controller was
being used yesterday, notwithstanding his
emphatic statement that he would not ac-
cept it under any circumstances. Joseph
Erny, Cashier of the German National
Bank, was talked off as q City Treasurer
candidate, but without his AUTHORITY.

OBJECT TO A SAWMILL,

Ladies Buy a Site for the southside Hos
pital and Now Learn That They VIII

for Way Out.
A special meeting of the Ladies' Aid So
clety, OF the Southside Hospital, was held
yesterday afternoon in the Guild House to
consider proposed entertainment to be
given BY Mr. H. E LEM for the benefit of
the building fund. 1t was the intention Of
MI. Lenz to present a play of his own at
tne ALVIN Theater, the proceeds to go to
tne building fund, provided the ladies ap-
prove OF 1t. After some discussion, it was
decided that 1t would not be we'll to give
any more entertainments at present Mrs
MCMILLAN reminded the other ladies that
the Southside Hospital had taken q great
deal OF the public's money through the fair
and meals in the old postffice, the dramatic
performance on the Southside last week,
etc So Mr.. Lenz's offer will be gratefully
declined. It was thought, also, that it would
be only right to give other charities q
chance, notably the West Penn Hospital,
that is to have benefit Jannary 13
There was considerable informal talk
about the position that the association has
been placed in by the action of Mr.. Schultz.
who sold the Hospital a site for the erec-
tlon OF the building. He was paid 81, 200
on the lot purchased by the hospital, and.
has now broken ground on a lot adjoining
for the erection of sawmilI. The ladies
are very much worried over this, as thev
declare that sawmill in such close prox-
unity to their property will make their new
lot practically useless for hospital purposes.
As they have paid the 81, 200 on the land,
the ladies do not see how they are to
change the site now, which would be their
natural action if they were not tied BY
financial considerations. The general opin-
ion yesterday was that the matter was one
for the trustees of the hospital to take in
hand. 1t is something that will have to be
arranged in some way. Either the sawmill
or the hospital will have to give way, and
the ladies think that, as they purchased the
ground in good faith, the owner of the ad-
joining property should not persist in his
intention of erecting a noisv Sawmill under
the very windows of an institution provided
for the care of the sick. The trustees now
have the difficulty in their hands, and
special meeting will be called as soon as the
trustees have seen Mr.. Schultz.

GALLAGHER In JAIL.

Davidson Also Arrested, but Carnegie
Official Furnishes $4,000 Bail for Him
The Grand Jury VIII Consider Their
Cases To-Day.
Patrick, Gallagher and ]. M. Davidson
were arrested yesterday afternoon. Both
waived hearing at once and were held for
court Their cases will be presented to the
grand jury this morning aud it is expected
a true bill will be returned to-day. Assist
ant Superintendent John Molamphy, of
Carnegie's Thirty-third street mill, fur
nished S., 900 bail for Davidson and he was
released. Gallagher was committed to Jail
and at a late hour last night there seemed
no prospect of his being released. Both
men are charged with felonlous assault and
battery. The information against Gallagher
was made by w. E Grifiths 10 days before
Gallagher's confession.
The arrest of these two self-accused con-
spirators in the Homestead poisoning
scheme was brought about by District At
torney Burleigh. After conference with
the court judges, at which it was decided
that the Commonwealth duty was to give
the whole subject thorough investigation,
Mr.. Burleigh went to Alderman McMas-
ters' Office and demanded to know why
Gallagher and Davidson had not been ar
rested and treated the same as Beatty. The
Alderman could give no sufficient explana-
ton. Thereupon he was peremptorily or
dered to have them apprehended at once, if
they were in the city. If not in the city he
would take steps to have them found.
In few moments the Carnegie officers
were notified by the Alderman and not
long afterward Pat Farrell brought Gala
CHER in. A Pinkerton detective soon fol-
lowed with Davidson. Evidently both men
had been near at hand. Acting under in
structions intended to avoid the production
of any further evidence they waived a
hearing Davidson left the Alderman's
Office in company with the detective who
had brought him.

In addition to the many cases of alleged
poisoning of non-union men at the Home
stead mills, it is now believed that
Squire William jackson, of Browns
town, was poisoned BY something
be ate OF drank there. When
he was taken i'll after his short stay in
Homestead, he was suffering with the
symptoms that have been described in so
many other cases, and his ailments obsti-
nately refused to yield to treatment until
he wasted away and died
His friends and family have begun an in
vestigation on their own account, as they
are confident his death was due to drugs of
some description They say that they have
knowledge that John Brown, of New Flor
ence, a Philadelphia salesman, was
also taken sick suddenly at Home
stead, and that he died soon af-
terward with the same accompanying
symptoms that marked the case of the
Squire. Further, that a Nineyeh man
named Harry Rogers, who has been at
home from Homestead for some weeks. is
now dying in the same manner in spite of the
best medical attendance. They claim that
they have evidence that great many more
men than the public knows anything about
have been sent home from the Carnegie
mills, distributed to different parts of the
country and taken out of the place sinply.
