CHARGED WITH TREASON
The "Crowning Outrage of the Great
Homestead Affair."
Nine of,the Homestead Strikers Now
in Jail on «rare Charge of Treason
—Bail $10,000 Each.
Pittsburg, Oct. 1.—The issuance
of warrants against the Home
stead strike leaders, charging
treason, at the instance of Chief
Justice Paxson, yesterday caused a
decided sensation, not only among
the strikers, but also among their
sympathizers here and at Home
stead. This is the first time the
charge of treason has been brought
into any state for acts arising from
a strike or labor trouble. • The
strikers merely laugh at any charge
of riot or murder brought against
them by the Carnegie company,
but when the great state of Penn
sylvania takes the matter up it is
an
ENITRELY DIFFERENT T1IIN0.
I nformations were lodged after
long consultations between all the
members of the supreme court and
the district attorney. A novel
point in the case is that the chief
justice will hear the applications
for bail before the cases go to the
grand jury, and will call that body,
before him and deliver a special
charge on treason. Should true
bills be found, an unprecedented
thing will occur. Chief Justice
Paxson, as ex-officio judge of the
court of oyer and terminer, will sit
and try cases. Attorneys for the
strikers declare the
PROCEEDING A PERSECUTION
of defendants and assert the charge
of treason cannot be made to hold.
There is a hint that the long con
templated suits for treason against
the Carnegies will now be hushed.
. O'Donnell, Critchlow and Clifford
are now in jail, making nine under
arrest. It is expected more arrests
will be made. Homestead is quiv
ering with excitement. Some talk
of takiug a band and flag, march
ing to' Pittsburg in a body and
apply for admission to the jai).
Under all is a deep seated anger
which is liable to take almost any
unexpected turn.
This afternoon an informal dis
cussion was held by Chief Justice
Paxson and the attorneys for both
Bides. Justice Paxson decided
that the accused could give bail in
$10,000 each, but up to a late hour
none of the defendants now in jail
have secured the necessary bond.
Attorney Knox said the reason
the eases were begun in the supreme
court was because it has always
been the practice in this and other
countries to begin suils for treason i
in the hightest courts. This is
done in the gravity of the offense.
The highest executive authority is
resisted and it ie proper that the
highest judicial authority of the
state should first take cognizance
of the offense.
W. J. Brennen, attorney for the
amalgamated association, charac
terized the arrests as the
CROWNING OUTRAGE
of the great Homestead affair.
"Why," said he, "we were just
talking about bringing suit against
the Carnegie people for treagon for
bringing an armed force into the
community and attempting to
usurp the power of the government
municipal and state."
The strikers at Carnegie's city
mills and friends of their cause are
greatly exercised today over the
report of the unexpected move- !
ment by the Carnegie firm. The '
advisory board, it is said, is it to !
be held on the charges of conspir- j
acy, treason and as many other j
bills as can be entered against it.
ALL CAUSED BY M'KINLEV.
Mustaches are said to be great
microbe catchers, but if a microbe
knows when it is well off it will
keep away from the man who
smokes M'Kinley cigars.—New
York Herald.
The crops this year in the main
will be excellent, as they were last
year. These crops have insured
pretty general prosperity, and even
the. incubus of the M'Kinley law
can be carried until its "time for
dissappearing," in March next.—
Boston Globe.
It is several years since so large
a crop of cranberries has been
gathered at Cape Cod as that of
the present season. Right in sight
of Gray Gables is some of the finest
picking. The increase is attributed
to the McKinley law.—New York
World.
An Iowan complains that some
seeds secured from the agricultural
department like shirt buttons.
This must be a mistake. It is the
McKinley bureau of the treasury
department that is sprouting but
tons—all of the pearl variety.—
Philadelphia Record.
At an agricultural fair, held at
Northapmton, Mass., recently, a
baby show was' made a feature,
and the infant industry drew five
times more of a crowd and ten
times the money than the cattle
did. The McKinley' law is a stun
ner, sure enough.—Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
FROM TACKS AND CATS.
Hm Twa Snug Fortmn War* Acquired in
Early Day«.
"The first 'corner' on record in
California," said a pioneer yester
day, was that made by a Boston
man in 1849."
"He observed that tacks were
used in all mining and building
operations. Thinking he saw a
chance to make a turn he bought
all the tacks in the city and all
those to arrive. Soon tnere was a
round demand for tacks, and our
Boston man sold his at their
weight in gold, ounce for ounce,
and returned home with a fortune.
"Another corner was made by
a Virginia negro, Peter Briggs.
He arrived in Los Angeles in 1849,
as the servant of Captain A. J.
Smith, of the dragoons, afterward,
commander of the B.'xteenth army
corps.
"Peter was known to the Ameri
cans in Los Angeles as the black
democrat and the Mexicans called
him 'Don Pedro.'
"He engaged in speculation, and
finally set up a barber shop, the
only one in village. But his big
strop was the corner in cats.
"San Francisco was overrun with
rats in those days and short on
cats. The reverse was the case in
Los Angeles.
"Peter laid traps for the cats and
e\ery night would capture a batch
of them. He secured enough to
make a schooner cargo and brought
them to San Frandîsco, where they
were sold at from $5 to $25 each,
netting him a modest fortune.
"But Peter could not stand pros
perity, and lost his cornered for
tune at the old El Dorado gambling
house."
Poisoned bj Scrofula
Is the sad story of many lii -es made miserable
through no fault their own. Scrofula is more
especially than any other a hereditary disease,
and for this reason: Arising from impure i
and insufficient blood, the disease locates
itself in the lymphatics, which are composed
of while tissues; there is a period of fœtal life
« hen the whole body consists of white tissues,
add therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease, lint
there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hered
itary or acquired. It is Hood'a Sarsaparilla,
which by its powerful eflect on the bloctl,
expels all trace of the disease anJ gives to the
vital fluid the quality and color of health. If
you decid to taue Hood's Sarsaparilla do not
accept any substitute. j
Happiness s a good deal like
money; a great many pereoiiS who
have it coming to them are cheated
out of it. —At'jhison (Hobe.
Corix't t has 5>old the right to a
whiskey firm to name a new brand
after him. No doul>t it will be n
good liquor to make strong punches
with.—Philadelphia Record.
The Cure For
Scrofula was once supposed to be the
touch ol royalty. To-day, many grateful
people know that Ute "sovereign remedy" Is
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This powerful altera
tive extirpates "the evil" by thoroughly
eliminating all the strumous poison from the
blood. Consumption, catarrh, and varions
other physical as well as mental maladies,
have their origin In
SCROFULA
When hereditary, this disease manifests it
self in childhood by glandular swellings,
running sores, swollen Joints, and general
feebleness of body. Administer Ayer's Sarsa
parilla on appearance of the first symptoms.
"My little girl was troubled with a painful
scrofulous swelling under one of her arms.
The physician being unable to effect a cure,
I gave her one bottle of
Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, and the swelling disappeared."
—W. F. Kennedy, McFarland's, Va.
"I was cured of scrofula by the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla."—J. C. Berry, Deerfield, Mo.
" 1 was troubled with a sore hand for over
two years. Being assured the case was
•erofula, I took six bottles of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla
and was cured."—B. Hlnkins, Riverton, Neb.
