THE END NOT YET.
Steel Workers in Carnegie's Plant Seem Yet Determined to Re-
 organize Their Forces.

HOMESTEAD, Pa., Jan. 15.-The deter mined stand taken by General Manager Schwab of the Carnegie Steel company to check the reorganization plan of the 5000 or more employees in the big steel works furnishes plenty of food for ref sction and conversation throughout the town. The discharge of so great number of leading and most skilled workers has led to all sorts of reports, and it is apparent that the trouble has not yet subsided.
 Up to noon today no additional dis charges of the men who participated at the meeting last Sunday had, so far as known, been sordered, but it is understood that the management is not yet through. Many idle men occupied the street corners dis cussng the situation.
 The men who were brought to Home- stead to break the strike in 1892 are the most excited and eager for organization. It was announced last night that Charles Hoichkiss, one of the best plate rollers in the United States, had been replaced in the 11-inch plate mill on account of tue reduc- tion.
 This is the mill in which most ofthe plate is rolled for the battle ships. It is reported that meeting will be held Sunday, and the attendance at the proposed meeting will determine the effect the company's ac- tion has had on the men.

PLUNGED TO DEATH.
A Husband, Maddened by Impending Danger, Attempts to Save His
 Wife, But Both Are Killed,

BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 15.-Thomas Whitridge and his young vile were in- stantly killed this morning at their home, on West Riddle street, while fleeing from the flames, which enveloped the struc- ture.
 They were awakened about o'clock by a policeman, who discovered fire in the rear part of the house. MT. and Mrs. Whitridge were on the second floor and tried to escape by a stairway, but smoke and flames drove them back. With the flames approaching them with awful rapid ity they stood at the front window waiting tue efforts of the firemen to raise ladder for their escape. Their cries could be by dense volumes of smoke that rolled out of the windows.
 The firemen worked frantically. They ran up ladder, while others began to stretch a rope net across the sidewalk. Scorched and blinded, Whitridge caught his wife about the waist with one hand and grasped the ladder with the other be- fore the fireman could mount 10 the win dow. In his excitement, or because he could not sustain the com bined weight Of botb, Whltridge released his hold upon the ladder, and he two forms plugged to the pavement, 20 feet below, striking on their heads.
 Mrs. Whitridge was instantly killed, and Whi.ridge died hall an hour later wi bout regainiug consciousness. Whitridge was 6 son of John A. Whitridge, and was asso- ciated with his father in the banking and brokerage business. Mrs. Whitridge was formerly Miss Bessie Shoemaker, and was married not quite year ago.

THE GERMAN EMPEROR
FORMALLY OPENS THE LANLTAG-sYMPA'
 THY FOR THE FARMERS.

FORMALLY OPENS THE LANLTAG-sYMPA-
 THY FOR THE FARMERS.
 BERLIN, Jan. '15.-The session of the Prussian landtag was opened today by the emperor in person. At noon only the Catholic members had assembled in the white chamber. They passed the time in studying the new decorations of the hall |, especially the models Of the Prussian sov- ereigns, which were placed along the walls.
 At 12:15 p. m. the emperor, in grand state, followed by the protestant m emb bers. entered the Chamber from the chapel, traversed the hall and retired by another door. At 1925 p. ID. his majesty re- entered the chamber, preceded by the color com pany of the castle guard, and ascended the throne.
 His speech was handed to him by Chan cellor Hohenlohe, and was read by the king in clear voice. His majesty said that several bills would be introduced for the benefit of agriculture, in which he was greatly interested. He was disposed to strive in every possible way to advance the interest of the agricultural class. He hoped, he said, with the patriotic assist ance of the landtag to combat successfully the renew d attacks which were being made npon the social order and monarchy.
