IIRE VICTIMS Ill POISON.
Homestead Workers Who Had
MySterlous Diseases.

THEY SAY MANY HAVE BEEN
DONE TO DEATH.

The Terrible Revenge Taken on
Non-IUnion Men.

CHICORA, Pa., Dec. 23.—This town has

four victims of the Homestead poisoners—'

L. H. Craig, George Arny, H. B. Thomp-
son and George North. Each of these

men had good paying positions in the‘

mill, but they were among .the first to be
stricken with the mysterious malady,
which they say has sent more men to
their graves than the general public
dreams of. They held on‘ at the works,
thinking their ailments would yield to
the ordinary treatment, but were finally
brought home broken down and almost
helpless.

Ar'ny’s troubles have developed liver
complaint, and, although he was a large,
healthy man, he is now a living skeleton,
and is'unable to do anything. In speak-
ing of the condition of things at the mill
during the strike the men all tell the
same story, substantially as follows:

“We had worked in the mill only a few
days when we were attacked with severe
cramps and dysentery. Because many
other workmen were affected the same way
we attributed it to some general disease,
and finally agreed that it must be the
water and the change of our manner of
life.

“The thing that finally alarmed and
discouraged us was the fact that the

, treatment given us at the hospital depart-
ment in the works did us no good, and it
was only a question of time until we were
physically unable to do our work and
were forced to come home. It was a con-
dition of things where sickness begot
sickness despite all that the company
could do, and no man who will tell the
truth will deny the company poured out
money like water in providing for the
men in its employ at that time.” '

TWELVE FIGHTING TRAMPS.

The Police at Susquehanna, Pa., Have a
Lively Scrimmage. - ’

SUSQUEHANNA, Pa., Dec. 23.~—Twelve
tramps of a. desperate character visited
this city. Three of them. broke into a
store and stole a number of articles, and
were discovered and frightened aWay
while attempting to gain entrance .in
another store. Erie Detective Elwell and
two city policemen started in ‘pursuit of
the tramps, chasing them across the SUS‘
quehanna River to a barn where the rest
of the gang were in hiding. The ofiicers
surrounded the building and commanded
them to surrender. The tramps replied
with a fusilade from a number of revolv-
ers in' their hands. Ofiicer Fraleigh was
shot in the face, but inot dangerously.
Detective Elwell went in the' barn, but
was seriously beaten. The tramps then
made their escape. Telegrams were sent
in every direction to apprehend the fugi-

~'.- tives, which resulted in the .arrest at

Binghamton of a man who claimed to be
Ed O’Byrne, of Port Jervis, N. Y. At
Port Jervis Officer Yaples arrested a per-
son answering the description of- one of
the tramps. He gave his name as James
Smith, of New York city. Parties are in

" pursuit of the fugitives.

FOR AN EXTRA SESSION.

Speaker Crisp Says the Democratic Ma-
Jority Favors It.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 23.-'l‘he pub-
lication of the factthstrSpeaker Crisp and
D011 M. Dickinson held an important

 

_ conference aroused great' interest at the

capital and started anew the discussion
as to the organization of ' the new House.
Following close upon the heels of the
cenference, Speaker Crisp is quoted as
being in favor of the early meeting Of the
new House in order that the organization
may be effected, the committees appointed
and the decks cleared for prompt tariff-
reducing legislation in Fall.

The Speaker is quoted as saying: “I
think there is no doubt, however, that
the majority of the Democratic members
of both Houses of Congress favor the
proposition of an early extra session
limited in its objects. They would be
perfectly willing to meet and sit here for
three or four weeks if that amount of
time was necessary to organize the House
and get the work on the tariff satisfac-
torily started. The prompt revision of
the law on this subject is recognized as
the great duty of the Democratic party.
The sooner it can be commenced the
better.” ‘

TWO IMMIGRATION iBILLS.

One Provides for Quarantine Abroad—The
Other Suspends Immigration for a. Year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The joint Com-
mittee on Immigration found itself un-
able to agree upon a measure, and decided
to report two bills—ione tothe House and
the other to the Senate. That reported to
the House is the bill prepared by Mr.
Stump, of Maryland, and the one present-
ed to the Senate is Senator Chandler’s
bill.

Mr. Stump’s bill establishes foreign
quarantines at which alien immigrants
are to be detained at least seven days he-
lore being allowed to embark, and at
which time their clothing and baggage is
to be thoroughly disinfected by the most

improved methods before they start for-

the United States.

Senator Chandler’s bill, which was in-
troduced yesterday, suspends and pro-
hibits for one year from March 1,1893, the
admission of alien immigrants for resi-
dence in the United States, as now allow-
ed under the act of March, 1891, except
those coming from American countries

who have been citizens and residents .

therein for one year previous to their de-
parture.

ting City Clerk. Mr. Hayes positively de-
clined to accept the new office and the

The Political Situation in Montana..

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 23.—Senator
Sanders has the reputation of being at
least an uncompromising Republican,and
in the muddle into which politics has
drawn his party in Montana, he sees no
hope of being returned to the Senate. In
fact, he believes that a Democrat will be
returned, but says that such a result is
contingent upon the inability of the
Populists to control the Legislature. If
the Republicans should accede to the
overtures of the Populists, which are now
being made, there Is a chance for a Re-
publican to be sent to the Senate.

They Only Want a Little.

PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Dec. 23.—The

MARRIED HIS OWN CHILD.

London Polite Society Set Agog by I
‘ Shocking Story.

LONDON, Dec. 23.—Po;ite society is just .

now discussing with bated breath one of the
most shocking scandals of the many that
have sullied its history. The scandal will
soon occupy the attention of the divorce
court in the form of a petition for the
nullity of a marriage which was presented
on December 14 by the Rev. Edward A.
Chichester, Vicar of Dorking Surrey, on
behalf Of a most unhappy girl. The girl
is the illegitimate daughter of Alfred
Aurelius Clark, who moves in polite 50'-
ciety and whose name figures in the court
directory. When her mother died, the
girl was taken as a ward by Clark, who
did not tell her of the relationship. When
she became of age he married her and
they have one child. The girl, has been
made almost insane by the frightful dis-
covery.

AN INfiIAN UPRISING. .

The Mexicans Unable to Put- Down the
Yaqui and Meyo Tribes.

CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Dec. 23.—The Mexi-
can Government troops sent' from here to
the Sierra Madre County to suppress the
Yaqui and Maya Indian uprising are un-
able tO put down the rebellion. The In-
dians, to the number of about 8,000, have
their rendezvous in an almost inaccessible
canon Of the Yaqui River, and bands of
them continue to make frequent raids

upon the white and Mexican settlers. -

Dozens of families have been massacred
during the past few weeks, and the
troops have been powerless to prevent the
depredations. The Yaquis number about
20,000, and they have never been con—
quered by the Mexican Government.
They occupy a rich agricultural and min-
eral region, and have never paid taxes.

FOREIGN NOTES.

Fo’ur new cases of cholera were Oficially
reported in Hamburg yesterday.» Several
other cases of the Asiatic type have ap-
peared recently, and the indications point
to a recurrence of the disease in epidemic
form when warm Weather sets in.

The Berlin Post says that “in spite of
the political corruption the French
army has been in any wise impaired. Gov-
ernments compromised in home affairs
often seek to divert attention from them-
selves by creating complications abroad.”

Prince Alois Schwartzenberg, a member
of one of the most ancient families of
Austria, has been court-martialed at

' Vienna and sentenced to four months ar-

rest for absenting himself from dutywith-
out leave in order to make a pleasure visit
to Italy. '

Much public comment has, been caused
there by the fact that the'Argentine Cabi-
net has had a meeting with ex-President
Pellegrini, General Roca, General Mitre,
and the newly appointed Minister to
Chili to,discuss the political relations be-
tween Argentine and Chile.

GONEY ISLAND STAYED.

It Offers Burge and McAulifl‘e the Great-
est I’urse Ever Put Up.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.———The Cresent City
Athletic Club of New Orleans have
thrown up the sponge in their great duel
with the Coney Island Athletic Club for
the possession of the International light-
weight battle betWeen Dick Burge, of
England, and Jack McAuliffe, the Ameri-
can champion. It has been an interest-
ing struggle, but the Coney Island Club’s
management were in no temper to play
second fiddle to any organization this
time, and they decided to have the battle
at almost any cost. They were compelled
to bid high, and for a purse of $45,000, the
largest amount by $5,000 even offered for a
prize fight. Dick Burge and Jack Mc-
Auliffe have placed their names to an
agreement. '

The club will give Myer and Gibbons
$5,000.

 

The Purse is Too Small.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—In regard to the
$4,000 purse offered by the Olympic Club
of New Orleans for a fight between Aus-
tin Gibbons and Billy Myer, the letter
said that he had reached no conclusion.
It is likely, however, that Myer will re-
fuse to-fight for a purse he considers too
small. Kennedy suggests that if Mc-
Aulifle and Dick Burge are worth $45,-
000, Gibbons and Myer ought to be worth
considerably more than’$4,000.

A Bloody Twenty Bound Fight.
SHAMOKIN, Pa., Dec. 23.—-A bloody 20

don prize ring rules took place in an old

A VERDICT 0F NOT GUILTY.

A Prominent Citizen of Wappingers Falls
' Acquitted by 3 Jury.
Poocnxsnrsm, N- Y., Dec. 22.-—The
case of the people against Clinton W.
Cl”IPP. 0f Woppingers Falls, was. tried in

' the Circuit Court yesterday. ClapP is 0110

of the most prominent and wealthy cit-
izens of the Falls. He was indicted for
sending an obscene letter to Mrs. Eliza-
beth W. Smith, a widow. The letter is
full of bad language. The experts in
handwriting, Ames and Carvallhc, of
New York, testified strongly that the let-
ter was in Mr. Clapp’s handwriting.
Bank cashiers, bank clerks and others
with whom Clapp had transacted business
swore that the letter was not in his hand-

writing. Prominent citizens swore tOI

Clapp’s excellent character. During the
day the defense sought to charge the
writing of the letter upon Mr. Henry B.
Maures, who boarded with Mrs. Smith
and who was at one time pastor of the
Baptist Church which Mrs. Smith at-
tended. At the proper time Maures was
called to the stand and was asked if he
wrote the letter. He rose suddenly,
straightened himself out, raised his right
arm and exclaimed loudly and dramati-
cally: “May God Almighty paralize me
now if I know anything of a criminal
nature of this letter.” The jury after be-
ing out half an hour rendered a verdict
of not guilty.

IN GUNGBESJESTERDAY. ‘

The Senate Did Little and
llorled Without a Quorum.

M’GARRAHAN AND- ANTI-OPTION
BILLS POSTPONED.

Happenings in and Around the
Capitol.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—.—There was less

than a quorum of Senators present when
yesterday's proceedings began. IMany
had left the city for the holidays, and
among thos.- was Vice-President Morton,
in whose absmce the chair was occupied
by Mr. Mazuierson (lieu, Neb.), Presi-
dent pro tem. .

Among the papers presented and re-
ferred were joint lC-SJILILIOIL‘i of the Ver-
mont Legislature requesting Congress to
enact laws establishing a uniform policy
of immigration from foreign nations and
of immigration from State to State.

In presenting a batch of petitions ask-
postponement of the Anti-Option bill,
Mr. Cockrell (Dem., Mo.) spoke of them
as stereotyped petitions, marked With
fraud and hardly entitled to be recog-
nized as the kind of petitions that ought
to be presented to the Senate. Many
other petitions of the same kind were
presented by other Senators, and were all
referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture.

Mr. Perki (Rep. Kan.) introduced a
bill to enabl he people of Oklahoma and
of the Indian Territory to form a consti-
tutional and State government and to be
admitted into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States. Referred
to the Committee on Territories.

The McGarrahan bill was taken up, and
Mr. Hunton (Dem., Va.) concluded his
argument in favor of its passage over the
President’s veto. Several Senators intend
to speak in opposition, and on that ac-
count a suggestion to have a day and hour
fixed for voting on it after the holidays
did not meet with favor. The bill, how-
ever, retains its privileged place in the
morni; ,1; hour.

Alf... attempt was made in regard to
the A ,ai-Option bill after Mr. Pefi'er
(Pop, Han.) had finished his speech in
its lax-pr, but as Objection was made, Mr.
Wasi . urn (Rep., Minn.) declared his in-
tenth r: of pressing the bill for considera-
tion and for a vote after the re-assem-
bling of the Senate, even at the expense
of along segsion. He asserted that the
li lwas favored by a considerable ma-
jority of Senators, by nine-tenths of the
whole people, and by ninety-nine hun-
dreths of the farmers of the country. '

After a short-executive session the Sen-
ate (at 3 p. m.) adjourned till Wednesday,
January 4.

N... business of importance was done in
the Home, as no quorum was present,
and at 12.15 it adjourned until January 4,
1893. -
