MR.. CARNEGIE OUTNITTED.
EMPLOYEES at Homestead Form Another
Organization.
The Work Accomplished With Great
Secrecy, and Reliable Men We're
Selected for the Purpose.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Jan. 20.-The employees
of the Homestead steel plant have stolen
march on the company, and the Amalga-
mated Association has again secured a
foothold in the works by the organization
ofsat least one lodge, the first since the
break of the big strike in 1892.
The organization was necessarily accom-
plished with much secrecy, and it is under
stood that only the most trustworthy in
each of the departments were selected for
the initial STEP and through them it is
hoped to regain the old-time power of the
association in the mill. Then the original
charters of the eight lodges which existed
prior to the famous strike will probably be
returned to the officers.
The lodge already organized is what is
termed general lodge, which will en-
brace workers of all kinds. From this
lodge they will be graduated into the SUBJ
lodge to be organized in each department.
That the com bination spirit is rife among
the men was evidenced by the attendance
at the open meeting to-day. Between 1000
and 1901 men were present. President
Garland of the Amalgamated Association
was made president of the meeting, and
the newspaper men secretaries.
No more open meetings will be held, as
the work in the future will be done in the
stricteSt secrecy

case, wherein the United States uprem
Court decided that State holds the title
to the soils under tidewaterin trust for the
people of the State, and it was expected by
Attorney-Gereral Hart that the decision in
that case would form precedent for this.
He fully expected that this principle of
common law would win the case for the
State, but the Supreme Court, without dis
cussing the real merits of the case, as they
did in the case of the Illinois Central Rail-
road, where the lake front was involved,
decided that no Federal question is pre-
sented and it has no jurisdiction.
Tomorrow is the day set for handing
down decisions, and it is not improb-
able that this case will be among them,
though the announcement of the decision
may be deferred for some time yet.

that no lives were lost. The Enquirer
special saws five men were rescued tonight
below the scene of the wreck. They had
been clinging to trees.
The Commercial Gazette's special says
seven passengers were picked up In bad
condition at Hawkesville, KY. Advices to
both these papers up to 1890 indicate that
no lives were lost.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. GO. f. Hicks, gen.
eral agent of the Memphis, New Orleans
and Cincinnati Packet Company, returned
from Stevens Point, KY. He reports there
were only nine passengers aboard the
steamer when she went down and 1t is be-
ieved none of them were lost. The boat
had full crew of about fifty men.
The latest information obtainable Is to
the effect that the only persons .ost were
roustabouts The number is not believed
to be over five. The boat and cargo Will
be total loss. She is valued at 10000.
Her cabin capacity was fifty rooms and
she had freight capacity of $4,000 tons.
Among the passengers were Casper White
head, stockdealer, Logansport, Ind; James
McCaffery and wife, Philadelphia a
young married couple on bridal tour
from Cincinnati; Mr.. Garland of Cave-in-
Rock, H.; one man from New Albany,
Ind, and one from Morgansfield, KY.
The boat was running about twenty
miles an hour, and on account of the
swift current she got away from the
pilots control as she was rounding Bull
locks Point She crashed into the rocks
and soon went to pieces.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2O.-The State of
Missouri was built at Madison, Ind, in
1890, by the Kansas City Syndicate for the
Missouri River trade, at a cost of $4,000
She was one of trio of fine steamers
built by the same company-the State of
Kansas and the A. L. Mason being the
Others She was $50 feet long with a
44-foot beam and 6-foot hold. She was
never launched on the Missouri, but
placed on the Ohio and Mississippi, ply
ing between Cincinnati and New Orleans,
with occasional trips to st. Louis.
The Kansas City syndicate was COM
PEELED to sell the State of Kansas to enable
the company to continue business. Then
followed the fatal loss by sinking of the A.
L. Mason and her cargo at Friars Point,
Miss, January 4, 1894 This misfortune,
with the low rates and Is per cent insur-
ance on the Missouri River, forced the
Kansas City syndicate into liquidation, and
shortly thereafter the State of Missouri
was sold to the Cincinnati, New Orleans
and Memphis Packet Company for $15, 5000,
or a little more than one-third of her cost.
She went down from overlooking near
New Madrid last February, but was
pumped out and raised. This misfortune
caused old river men to look on the State
| of Missouri with superstition, and they
have been expecting some such fate as that
which has overtaken her. She was in
charge of Captain Joseph Coulton, with J..
r. Wilman as clerk.

AND YET ANOTHER STORY.
This One States That at Least Forty Lires
Here Lost.

Here Lost.
ST.fLoUIs, Jan. 2O.-A special to the Re-
public from Hawesville, KY, gives another
story of the sinking of the steamer State
of Missouri, and places the loss of life at
not less than forty.
The writer of the dispatch to-day visited
the scene of the wreck, thirty-five miles
from Hawesville, and reports that there
were twenty-five passengers and a crew of
seventy-eight on board. Of these, thirteen
passengers and nearly half the crew, prin-
cipally negro roustabouts, were drowned.
C. c. Whitehead, an old river pilot, was
on board and to the correspondent said:
OF the twenty-five passengers only nine
were saved. There was young married
couple from Louisville. The husband
swan ashore with his wife and they were
saved A man and his wife from Phila-
delphia escaped, but the man lost his
clothing and $4,000.
A Mr.. Bush, from Barrows Point, Arkan-
sas, was my roommate. He had thirty
five mules on board which he was taking
to his plantation. He was drowned and so
was all of his stock.
Second Clerk Charles Howard of Padu-
cab, KY, was saved, and also Captain Cop
Ter, but the rescued passengers scored him
bitterly for not attempting to save the
boat. There was a passenger en- route to
Cairo injured. Pell and his son were the
pilots and both were saved; the young
man was at the wheel.
One of the engineers was saved. The
mate of the steamer, by helping drown
ing man with an oar, managed to save
every woman in the boat, and when he
was found he was waist deep in mud and
almost dead.
Two minutes before the accident Gopher
was in the pilot-house and remarked
that the boat was easy to steer and that
the work was easy. [ went to the next
deck and then a cloud of steam enveloped
everything by the bursting of steampipes
and the yelling of people caused terror
everywhere.
If there was a command given by any
body, did not hear it. One lady named
Ong of Philadelphia, got ashore by swim
ming on negro's back. l found when
got to shore a negro hanging to willow
brush by his teeth dead. He had strug.
gled along in the water and died just when
he was about to be saved.
The first clerk of the boat is now al
Alton, Ind, insane. He was one of the
few on the boat who seemed to try to dc
something and he was found half buried
in the mud on the Indiana shore below the
wreck. 1t is thought that his reason will
never return.
AS the rear end of the boat went down
the forecastle caught fire and for two min.
utes lighted up the whole country. But
the boat soon settled to the bottom and left
the struggling people in utter darkness
The City of greensboro came along soon
afterward and picked up the passengers
and did everything possible for them.

FIFTY-FlVE WERE KILLED.
Two Persons Expire From Injuries
Received at Butte.
The Indications are That Four More
Will Be Enrolled as Victims Of
The Fearful Explosion.

BUTTE, Jan. 20.-John Sloan ST., the fifty
fifth victim of the explosion, died last
night By his death his wife is left en-
tirely alone. Two sons, John and Ed, fire.
men, have been instantly killed by the first
explosion.
Con St. Clair, another victim, is very low,
and it is not expected he will survive the
night.
George Dewey, a cigar-maker, the fifty
sixth victim, died at o'clock this morning.
Three more funerals of victims were held
in Butte to-day, and one more body was
shipped away.
There are four more in the hospitals who
can scarcely recover.
The relief fund has reached over $4,000
to which was added over $500 tonight by
benefit performance given by Nellie Nc
Henry.

Earthquakes Again Destroy
kuchan.
SERIES OF TERRIFIC SHOCKS.
Twelve Thousand PerSiaRS Perish in
the Disaster.
THE SUFFERINGS OF THE SURVIVORS.
Terror Stricken Inhabitants Whose
Houses We're Destroyed Exposed to
Intensely Cold Weather.

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-The Times has dis
patch from Teheran, the capital OF Persia,
stating that the town of Kuchan, IN the
province of Khorasan, which was de-
stroyed by an earthquake fourteen months
ago and which was. subsequently rebuilt,
was again destroyed by an earthquake
shock on Thursday last.
There was, as on the previous occasion,
great loss of life. One hundred women
who were in bathhouse were crushed to
death by the falling building. The weather
was intensely cold, and this increases the
sufferings of the survivors whose houses
were destroyed.
The dispatch adds that four distinct
shocks were felt at Meshed within three
DAYS. None of these shocks, however,
were of sufficient strength to do any dam
age.
Kuchan lies at the foot of the Shah
Jahan Kuh a mountain 11,000 feet in
height. The town, which is about eight
miles northwest of Meshed, is 1900 feet
above sea level. 1t is, or was, an important
place, being on the route to Shirvan. The
population prior to the earthquake of 1893,
which destroyed every house in the place,
was between 10000 and $4,000.
The official report of the disaster places
the number of persons killed at 1900.
Fifty thousand head of cattle have persisted
in the valleyI at the head of which Kuchan
is situated.
From November I to q there were 1877
distinct shocks. 1t was the first shock that
DESTROYED the town.

Los ANGELES, Jan. 20.-A serious cutting
affray occurred in this city about $50 this
evening in a saloon at the end of the Cen
tral-avenue electric line. Two carpenters
named Taylor and Vaughn, while drunk,
quarreled at their clearinghouse on
Flower street, and adjourned to meet at
the saloon named to fight it out. Taylor
who is the larger man, was getting the best
of the fight, when Vaughn pulled out a
pocket-knife, stabbing Taylor in four
places, once in the throat, barely escaping
the jugular vein, but severing the wind
pipe Another blow was in the back,
making a wound three inches long and
four inches deep.
Two bad cuts were also made in the right
arm. Taylor's injuries are pronounced
serious. Vaughn was arrested.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Jan. 20.-There has
been no change in the situation of affairs
in the Brooklyn trolley strike to-day. No
new lines have been opened, as President
Lewis promised they would. Superintend-
ent Campbell said early this morning he
had received no official notice from the
railroad companies that they were about
to open the lines, consequently the police
were not notified by him to do so.
The same lines are in operation to-day as
were running Yesterday, On Bergen street,
where yesterday there was great deal OF
disturbance, nine cars were running this
morning, and both along the line and at
the stables of the company, at Sumner
avenue and Bergen street, everything was
quiet. AT the stables two companies of the
Thirteenth Regiment were guarding the
property of the company.
From midnight last night there were the
usual number of minor disturbances likely
to occur at such time. At 5 A. NJ. the
wire on the uptorn track at Sackman
street, on the Fulton-avenue line, was cut
and was in a very dangerous condition to
passers-by. These breaks were promptly
repaired by the trolley company's repair
wagon. On upper Broadway the wires OF
the Brooklyn, Queens County and Subur-
ban railroad were also cut.
About 3 o'clock this morning moi
of strikers marched down Ninth avenue tc
Fifth avenue and Twenty fourth street
They numbered 300 and were supplied
with drums, with which they made the
night hideous in that immediate neighbor-
hood. They filed by the militia men and
jeered them, but as the soldiers paid no at
tention to the abuse the strikers soon grew
tired and disappeared.
An effort was made by the strikers thi:
morning to coerce the men who were a.
work on the Second-avenue line, which
starts from the Thirtieth-street ferry
South Brooklyn, into joining the ranks O
the Knights of Labor. Some excitement
was caused in the neighborhood by
the violence displayed by the strik
ers. Although a number OF cars are
running on the various lines which are
open, a noticeable feature of the day wa'
the comparatively few passengers who pat
ron1zed the cars of the companies. 1t wa
evident they were considered too great {
risk to ride in them by the public. Ii
consequence of orders of the police, thu
saloons throughout the city were CLOSED
up tight at midnight, and in the neigh
borhoods where the strikers were con
gregated they were kept closed.

BARRETT SCOTT HANGED.
Recovery Of the Body Of the Defaulting
Treasurer.
Evidence Of the Work of the Enraged
Farmers Shown by Rope Around
the Slain Mans Neck.

OMAHA, Jan. pa Bee special from
O'Neill says: The body of Barrett Scott,
Holt County's defaulting Treasurer, who
was lynched December 81, was found in
the Niobrara River at midnight. There
was rope around the neck. He had been
hanged. The Coroner's jury found that
Scott had been hanged and that George
MuIihan, Moses Elliott and Merit Roy,
those now under arrest, and other Holt
County citizens composed the mob.
The ice in the river was cut where the
trail of the lynchers had been followed
yesterday, and to-day 100 men were on the
scene, dragging the river. The body was
lying in several feet of water and only a
short distance from the bank. The body
bore evidence that the victim was dead
when cast into the water. Around his neck
was piece of rope about three feet long,
a moose in true hangman's style.
The other end bore evidence of having
been cut, showing that Scott had been
hanged until he was dead and then cut
down and cast into the river. The body
was minus a coat, but his watch and chain
and other jewelry, which was on his per-
son the night of the tragedy, were still
there. The face of the deceased con-
frmed the truth of the story told by Mrs
Scott, to the effect that in the fusillade
which preceded her husbands capture he
was slightly wounded on the side of the
face
The crime for which Barrett Scott paid
with his life on last New Years night
was the ENLIGHTENMENT of $4,000 of
the funds of Holt County and the subse-
quent wrecking of the Holt County Bank,
practically impoverishing nearly all the
farmers and business men in Holt County.
The amounts stolen from these confding
people are variously estimated at an ag-
gregate of $3.50, 900.

LATER REPORTS REcEITED.
Officers Of the Company Say No Lires
Here Lost,

CINCINNATI, Jan. 2O.-Commodore Laid
ley and Captain Wise, officers of the Gin
cinnati, Memphis and New Orleans Packet
Company, which owned the State of Mis-
souri,, insist that they have reports from
their officers on the wrecked steamer stat
ing that the boat and the entire cargo are
an entire loss, but they do not believe any
passengers were lost. 1t is impossible to
get track of all who reached either bank of
the river, but they report that the officers
are of the opinion that all the passengers
will be accounted for. One of the pilots
telegraphed his family here that they had
a hard time getting to shore but that no
lives were lost. The State of Missouri left
this city last Friday. Most of her crew are
from this city and private dispatches from
them to their friends and families, as well
from Captain Wise, say they are safe and
