The movement at Benwood, among
certain of the steel plant employees, for
an increase in wages, appears TO be in
accord with a general attempt to
achieve the same end up at Pittsburg,
and therefore has something more
than a local significance.
The employees at the Sligo mill Of
Phillips, Nimick & Co. have scored a
victory in obtaining a substantial ad-
vance, which affects about 400 men.
The agreement signed runs until June
9Oth, at which time the 1S94-95 scale
expires. At the keystone Rolling Mill
Companys plant 200 men are out for
an advance, as are the men at the
"POrk-hOuse" mill.
At New Castle, Pa, the men are still
out, and the furnace laborers, at Shar-
on, Sharpsyille and Claire, Pa, are also
out, and the prediction is made that
by Friday every furnace in that dis
trict will be banked.
At South Chicago a serious strike IS
on among the employees of the Illinois
Steel COmpany's big plant, and the
American Tube and Iron Company's
employees, at Youngstown, have de-
manded an increase.
At Benwood yesterday, the River
side plate mill employees demanded an
increase in wages, and are awaiting
the action Of the management Should
these men go out, the entire plant
would be seriously affected so far as
continuance of work is concerned, and
a general suspension of work would be
little short Of calamity
At the Aetna-StandaTd, yesterday,
nine women applied for work as open
ers," and all secured employment. 1t
is understood there are several other
applications for the same work, TO be
passed on to-day.
At the Benwood plant of the Wheel
ing Steel and Iron Company, yesterday,
a committee Of the striking wOrkmen
were notified to meet the manager at
Q a. n. to-day at the Company's Office.
SO far, the management has given out
nothing for publication. The men feel

Moved in the Ambulanc,, Admitted-Ad-
journed TIL To-Morrow.
Louisville. KY, May S.-The eXamin-
ing trial of Fulton Gordon was resumed
at 2:30 o'clock to-day Judge Thomp-
son stated that he had decided to admit
GordOns cOfession to Officer Lapellle
as it was entirely competent.
Officer Lapeille testified as to Cor
dOn's statement made in the ambu-
lance. Gordon said he went into the
room and his first shot would have
killed Brown if Mrs. Gordon had not
jumped in the way. Brown, he said,
had fred while he was getting out his
pistol. After the first shot out OF
Browns revolver, Gordon said he
grabbed him. After several shots had
been fired Brown dropped his pistol
and Mrs. Gordon picked it up, shot
Brown, killing him. Mrs. Gordon. the
prisoner said, fought him like tiger.
Just as she got to the door Gordon said
he fired a second shot at his wife. He
said:
you will find two bullets in her.
Gordon said that Brown had not
struck him. From Gordon's state
ments witness was led to believe that
Mrs Gordon had struck her husband
with a pitcher or something else. Wit
ness described GOrdon's nervous con-
dition. After the hearing of further
evidence the Commonwealth rested its
case, and Mr.. KOhn, attorney for Cor
don, moved for the discharge Of the
prisoner.
Judge Thompson ordered an adjourn>
ment until II o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, when the argument on the motion
viii be heard
The plans Of the prosecution in the
Gordon case has taken a sensational
turn in the issuance of a subpoena for
Webster Gazlay. Attorneys engaged
in the prosecution have taken this step
upon the theory that Gazlay as the man
who telephoned to Gordon and who
shadowed and located the couple.
