“Truth above all things.”

FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1892.

The McGarahan Case. g

Poor old McGarrahan must wait a
little longer. The bill passed by Con-
gress only enabled him to take his case
to the Court of Claims, but even that

was more than the New Idria Mining—

. Company desired. and the President
has vetoed the bill. Of course it is only
a coincidence that the chief owner of
New Idria is the father-in-law of White-
law Reed, but the veto will give more
satisfaction to Mr Mills than it will to
anyone else—Phfidelphia Press.

During the administration of Presi~
dent Cleveland, republican orators and
newspapers all over the country sound-
ed the bitterest anathemas against Sec-
retary of the Navy \Vhitney, for hav-
ing been influenced and prejudiced
against grand Old John Roach, to the
extremity of driving him into bank-
ruptcy and to his death. No one for a
moment believed that the brilliant and
genial Secretary Whitney did this from
any malice aforethought or prepense.
He was simply influenced by unscrupu-
lous partisans and interested rivals of
old John Roach. And who was John
Roach ? He was an Irishman by birth,
but American in every fiber of his feel-
ing. He loved this country with Irish-
born intensity. He was a shipbuilder,
and as might have been expected of
one of his zeal, intensity of ambitious
pride in his business and exalted patri-
otism, he soon rose to the head of his
profession as a ship-builder. He built
many great ships for private individu-
als, for companies, corporations and
his government,and never was cloud or
stain put on the honest fidelity of John
Bosch. Yet in an evil hour, Sec-
retary Whitney having him in his
gpower, deliberately broke him in
~(business. humbled his pride, broke
his heart, and the poor old man
“ turned his face to the wall and
diet .” NO paper was more severe than
the GA ZETTE in denunciation of the, in-
excusably ‘cruel and unpardonable con-
duct of Secretary Whitney.

Can the. GAZETTE be less severe in its
criticism of President Harrison’s cruel
and utterly unjustifiable veto of the
bill simply giving to the poor old Irish-
man “ Billy ” McGarrahan,’ the beg-
garly privilege of going to-the COurt of

”Land Claims and- proving his title to

valuable California mines, that scores
of committees of both Houses of Con-

, gross, have repeatedly reported were
stolen from him and the rich products
of the mines used to the extent of mi].
lions of dollars, to keep him from get-
ting possession of what, the present
two committees of both Senate and
House and by uncontested votes of both
Houses, in sheerest justice, put him in
legal position to acquire. President
Harrison is a just man; yea more, he
is notably a devoutChristian, yet with—
out due examination of the merits of
poor Mac’s claim, he has allowed him-
self to be influenced to do one of the
most unjustifiable acts of his life.
Should the time ever come when he can
find the time and improve it, to thor-
oughly examine and become acquaint-
ed with the justice of “ Billy” Mc-
Garrahan’s claim. he will more serious-
ly regret this cruel veto,than any other
act of his whole ofiicial life. The GA-
ZETTE speaks thus confidently because
it knows the case. the claimant and the
President. -

Manufactory Noise.

There is much grumbling and growl-
ing by residents in different parts of
the town at the noises made by ma-
chinery of different kinds in use in our
thrifty hives of industry. Such noises
come from what gives the life-blood to
our town and all ought to wish there
was vastly more of such noise- than
there is. NO doubt it is a serious en-
noyance to the nervous and to invalids,
but the general experience in cities is
that when noisy machinery invades a
neighborhood it is time for those who
object to noise to move out. A legiti-
mate industry conducted in a legiti-
mate way cannot be interfered with.

They “'ere Both Hui'r.l)ly Mutilated by
a Cit-:‘c\'rl'-—l"llnl'llcl' and Suicide.

FALL Brynn. Mass, Aug 5.—Andrcw J.‘

Borden and his wife were found dead at
their home, 9:3 Second street, at 11 o’clock
this morning. Both Were frightfully muti-
lated about the head and face with an ax,
cleaver or razor. Mr. Borden lay on a sofa
. in a room on the top ficor of the house. His
head had been cut, and gushes frrgn four to
six inches long were found on his face and
neck. Mrs. Borden was in her own chamber
on the upper floor, and the condition of her
face and head was the same as that of her
husband. She lay face downward in the
bed, which was a veritable pool of blood.
The police were notified and immediately
began an investigation. Up to the .hour of
writing no implements that could hike been
used in the commission Of the crime had
been found. This leads to the horrible sus-
picion that Mr. and Mrs. Borden were mur-
dered. The murder and suicide theory is
advanced and finds many supporters. Mr.
Borden” was a wealthy real estate owner
and millman, and was seen on the street
half an hour before he‘was found dead.

 

Died of Hydrophobia.

Lynn, 'Mass.,‘ Aug. 5.—Patrick Farrell,
fifty-two years old, of Swampscott, died of
hydrophobia this morning. Farrell was
bitten by a rabid dog on May 13. Beyond
slight throat spasms and an aversion .to
water the case did not tally with those best
known and described in medical works.
Farrell’s death was not violent. An autopsy
will be held. Thedog hit fifteen persons,

Superintendents of the Homestead
Works Held in $10,000 Bail.

BLAMES THE MILL HANDS.

[he Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the
Men Slain at Homestead—Separate
Verdicts Returned in liucli Case.
Anarchist Bauer mun-a Out.

Prrrsntuc,
Potter, Nevin, McConnell and James Dovey,
of the Carnegie company works at Home-
stead, appeared before Judge Ewing this
morning and Were released on $10,000 bail
each for examination on the charge of mur-
der preferred by Hugh Ross, of the Amal-
gamated association.

It is said that the reason Superintendent
Potter did not surrender yesterday is that
the evidence against him is stronger than
against the others, and he was afraid he
would be gent to jail over night. He was
on the bargeso‘ith the Pinkerton men, and,
it is asserted, gave the order to fire.

Frlck, Levejoy, Leishman and Curry,
against whom similar charges were pr..-
ferred, appeared before Judge Ewing yes-
terday, Mr. Frick by counsel and the others
in person, and gave bail in the sum of $10,-
000 each to appear for a. hearing today.
Owing to the death of Mr. Frick’s little son
it is probable that he will not be asked to
attend the hearing.

names the Mill Hands.

Prrrsncnc, Aug. 5.—The coroner’s jury
in the inquest on the men killed in the
Homestead riot returned verdicts last
night placing the blame for the tragedy
upon the mill hands as a. body, but men-
Separate verdicts were
returned in each of the cases investigated.
In the case of one of the mill hands the ver-
dict read: '

“Silas Wain, aged about twentysfour
years, came to his death on Tuesday, July
8, 1892, about 8:30 a. m., while in company
with others in an unlawful assembly upon
the property of Carnegie, Phipps & Co.’s
steel works, Mifiiin township, to prevent
the landing of two model barges loaded
with Pinkerton guards to protect said prop-
erty, and he being struck by a missile from
acannon which had been taken by said un-
lawful assembly to the Pittsburg side of
the Monongahela river and discharged by
them, striking and instantly killing the said
Silas Wain, and we recommend that said
unlawful assembly be certified to the Sep-
tember session of the grand jury.”

The verdicts on the deaths of the three
Pinkertons killed were identical with that
on Connor’s, which read:

“T..J. Connor, aged thirty years, came to
his death at. the West Pennsylvania hos-
pital from shock and exhaustion, due to a
gunshot 'wound in the right arm, which
severed. the femoral artery. The wound
was. received while on a barge, employed
as a Pinkerton detective to guard the
property of Carnegie Phipps-8; Co.’s works,
and being shot by a ball from an unlawful
assemblage which had assembled on said
property to prevent the landing Of said
barges, and we find that the shooting was
done by a party or parties unknown with
felonious intent, and we recommend that
said unlawful assemblage be certified to the
September session of the grand jury.”

Mador Crawford’s Statement.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 5.—Major Craw-

ford, of the Fifteenth regiment, has made
the following statement concerning the
threatened riot over the Dovey and McCon-
nell arrests yesterday:
:2. “I went to the scene with two companies.
As we reached the station the sheriff had
read a proclamation ordering the men to
disperse.‘ They would not. and many
booted. The sheriff then returned and
told me he was powerless to keep the men
back. I. said to them: ‘

“ ‘You must disperse and at once.
are defying the law.’

“My adjutant gave orders to the men
to be careful how- they used their bayo-
nets, but to press forward. They did
so in a firm manner, forcing the crowd
backward. Bowen, who was arrested,

You

yelled: ‘You have no right to arrest usi-

Boys, don’t move.’ Then we arrested him,
and this action frightened the crowd.”

It is said that a charge of attempting to
incite a riot will be preferred against
Bowen, who is now in custody in Pittsburg.

Anarchist Boner Ballad Out.

Pmsnunc, Aug. 5.—Anarchist Bauer, ac-
cused of complicity with Alexander Berk~
man in the attempt to assassinate H.'C.
Frick, has been released in $5,000 bail.
Knold, the anarchist who pointed out the
Carnegie officers to Berkman, will seek to
have bail fixed in his case today. '

 

Union Pacific Tclogrnphers to Strike.
- DENVER, Aug. 5.—Private information
came from Omaha .last night that the con-
ference of Chief Ramsey- and the teleg-
raphers’ committee and General Manager
Dickson, of the Union Pacific, had resulted
in failure, and that a general strike on that
road had her-"l ordered for Friday. This

OMAHA, Aug. 5. —The Union Pacific tele-
graph operators are awaiting an answer
from President Clark before deciding
whether or not to strike.

Premier Abbott Attacked with Faintneu.

OTTAWA, Aug. 5.-—Premier Abbott was
attacked with faintness and became insensi-
ble at his desk in the privy council yester-
day. The premier rallied in half an hour
and was driven to his chambers. Thither

the minister of militia. the only other cabi--

net minister in town, was hastily sum-

moned. Every effort was made to keep the .

matter quiet. The premier has hitherto eh-
joyed good health, notwithstanding he is
seventy-two years of age. Last night the
doctors said he would soon rally, but that
he must refrain from official work for some
time.
Sutherland Keeps 'ma Sent.

LONDON, Aug. 5.—The Liberals, dissatis-
fied with the result of the recent recountat
Greenock, giving the seat to Sir Thomas
Sutherland, Liberal-Unionist, have caused
mother count to be made, but without af-
fecting the decision that the seat belongs to
Sutherland. ,

Delayed by the Homestead Strike.
Barn, Me, Aug. 5.—The new harbor de-
fense ram cannot be sent into ”the stream
for six weeks at least. The Homestead
strike has delayed work, all the ship’s mate-
lial coming from that plant. ' .
