 John McLuckie Wants the Carnegie Com
 pany Indicted.
 Haverhill, Mass, July 26.--John Me- Luckie, burgess of Homestead, Pa., spoke before the Central Labor union here this afternoon, his effort being to agitate the bringing of an indictment against the Carnegie company of Homestead, for furnishing the United States government with defective ar- mor plates for ships. He was bitter in his utterance. He stated that he was not doing his work for the love of country, but for revenge.
 He said: "In 1892 the men at Home stead had 300 Winchesters. Now they have $500 and they are ready to use them if occasion requires. In the late war the north compelled the seeding states to return to the union by force of arms and in a like manner the labor unions ought to compel workmen out of the union to come in, by shot and shell, shooting them down in case they did not come in, so that the capitalists cannot use them. The government in vestigation of the armor frauds was hung up through the efforts of Sena- tor Quay MT. Carnegie's tool" Me Luckie was frequently applauded.

NARRoW ESCAPE FnoM DEATH.
Passengers Knocked or the Footboard of
 a West Haven Car.

messengers hnOCkeu OH the FOOUnOarQ or
 West Haven Car.
 Oscar Fritzell, who lives at 60 Nicoll street, was knocked off an electric car while returning from West Haven last evening about 6:30 o'clock. Fritzell was standing on the footboard next to the track upon which the out trip Is made, at the time the accident oc- cured. Several bicyclists, some of whom were known to the young man, had just passed the car en route to Waverly Grove where picnic was being held. Fritzell leaned from the car to wave his hand at the passing wheelmen. Before he could recover to a safe position a car which was return ing to Savin Rock struck the young man.
 FritzeIl was hurled to the ground in front of the car which struck him. H. B. Hartley, the motorman, had already reversed his brake, and none too soon. When the car came to a stop Fritzen was lying only about four inches from the wheels
 The man was taken from his perilous situation. Both the hospital and police ambulances were called in the excite ment Of the moment. The latter ar- rived first, and was starting to the hos pital with the injured, man when the former came upon the scene of the ac- cident. It was found upon exanina- tion that Fritzell had received serious though not fatal injuries.
 Fritzell had sustained two long scalp wounds, which laid the skull bare. The left ankle was broken and dislocated and the left shoulder broken. It will be several weeks before Fritzell will be able to use his foot.
 Those who saw the accident commend Motorman Saunders for his promptness in stopping his car, thereby saving Fritzelrs life.
 The occurrence caused talk in fa- vor of guard rails and also foot boards which may be raised to the side of the car as contemplated by the ordinance proposed by Councilman Liefield at the last meet of the board of councilmen

Nihilism Rises Spectre-like to Restrict
 His Freedom.
 Berlin, July 27.-The dates of the czar's proposed visits to the principal continental capitals, if indeed, they have been fixed are being kept very dark. Recent announcements have been made that his trip is becoming more uncertain daily and nihilism seems to be the spectre which is stand- ing in his majesty's way. All that is now known of his intentions is that it is his purpose to visit Vienna and Ber- lin and probably Paris, but when the visits will take place 1t is impossible to say.
 The emperor's visit to Nijnii Nov gorod, which he made on Saturday, was accompanied by the usual precau- tions, so far as railway travel was con- cerned. The railways over which he travelled were guarded by troops throughout, but when his majesty was within the limits of the city the usual lines of soldiers and police guarding the streets through which he passed were dispensed with The mayor of the city issued manifesto to the peo- pie urging them to maintain order and keep the course clear.

Neb., July 26.-Senator Jones of Arkansas arrived in Lincoln this evening and was immediately driven to the residence of Mr. Bryan, where an earnest conference was held on subjects Of much importance to the democratic and populistic parties.

Bentley, the prohi- bition-silver nominee candidate-Lin- coin is a very quiet place. MT. Bryan has been seen but little since his re- turn. He spends most of his time in his library going over the mass of mall matter and the packages of telegrams delivered every day. He has three as- sistants. one. lady, and they each have their hands full in keeping up with the nominee's correspondence. So great has been the avalanche of written mat ter addressed to MT. Bryan that he is practically swamped and many of the letters and telegrams that were sent immediately after his nomination are not yet answered.
 The Bryan and Sewall headquartcra at the Lincoln hotel are intended prin- cipally for the use of MT. Bryan in re- ceiving visiting delegations and .on- ferring with democratic managers MT. Bryan has used them two or three times only, but with the national silver and populist conventions added it is ex- pected he will be obliged to go there more frequently.
 A meeting of the state committee of the silver wing of the democratic party of Nebraska will be held in the Lin-S coin hotel in this city on July 30. Mir. Bryan has promised to be present. Senator Jones left Lincoln on lata train tonight for his summer home. Washington, Tenn. He wired Cover nor Stone of Missouri to meet him at Jefferson City tomorrow. Just before leaving Senator Jones said he would leave it to the common sense of the people to right the nomination of Wat son. No definite action, he said, would be taken at this time with regard to the acceptance or declination of the populist nomination of MT. Bryan.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
RFPUBLICAN MANAG FRS WILL SOON
 SOUND FIRST GUN.

Senators Sherman and Hawley Believe There should Be No Delay in Exposing the Rotten Roots of the Silver Tree Their Opinions Concurred in by Major McKinley-Latte VIII Give His Letter of Acceptance to tho Public In About a Month-It Will be an Analytical and Comprehensive Document - Many In- quiries For Currency Literature.
 Cleveland, July 26.-Major Mckinley. who arrived here from Canton last eve- ming, and Mark Hanna, chairman of the republican national committee. were in conference most of the day and evening at MT. Hanna's suburban home on the lake side.
 Major Mckinley said to-day: T came back to Cleveland because my many engagements during the centennial ex- ercises made it impossible for me to have full and satisfactory talk with
 
 management Indeed, we have had but one extended talk since my nomi- nation, and now find that there are scores of matters which demand atten- tion and discussion with MT. Hanna
 The campaign has been outlined in a general way only by Mir. "Hanna and his committee. They do not know what turn affairs may take in reference to another democratic ticket, and, of Ye- cessity. their actions are somewhat linn ited in scope, and significance by the imperfectly developed situation which confronts them. Under the circum- stances the most that can be done Is to have campaign literature of an inform ing character quickly prepared and widely circulated.
 Senator Sherman, who was here two or three days last week to participate in the centennial exercises, is some what alarmed at the manifestation of the silver sentiment in certain sections and communities. He told Major Nc Kinley that his voluminous correspond ence was laden with inquiries about the money question, and that he was of opinion that most active measures to combat the silver sentiment ought to be taken at once He urged both Mir Hanna and Major Mckinley to have the speaking campaign begin at once. and said he was willing to take the stump at moments notice. Other re- publicans of prominence, such as Sem ator Hawley and x-Governor Merriam of Minnesota, have expressed them- selves in pretty much the same terms.
 Major Mckinley and his manager have reached the conclusion that the best results will be attained by holding an uncommonly large number of politi- cal meetings. When Major Mckinley settles down in Canton again this week he will begin to think seriously about his letter of acceptance. He expects to begin work on it within ten days, and may have a. draft of it completed with in a fortnight.
 It is not his intention to make it pub lie for month or so, however. He wants to see what turn events will take and needs something to determine the ultimate cast which he shall give to the issues of the campaign. The letter of acceptance will be sort of final, sup elementary, up-to-date platform, and the great work of the campaign will be done on the lines which it indicates. Major Mckinley will prepare this doc ument with great care, and it will 5e one of the most important utterances of the campaign.

CLOUDS OF GRAssHOPPERs.

Possibly in Quest of Silver Bugs at Bry-s
 ans Home.
 Linsoln, Neb., July 26.-Myriads of grasshoppers in clouds so dense as to almost obscure the sun passed over this section of Nebraska to-day about noon. Their appearance caused apprehension among farmers, but few alighted. Their course was from west to east. The grasshopper scourgein Nebraska was in 1874 and as those insects usually make their appearance much earlier in the season it is thought the present visita- sion does not presage any serious dam age to crops in this locality.
