First Synod of the Divines of the Arch Diocese of Milwaukee. MiOTicm, Wis., July 12. The seminary of St. Francis was the scene today of the first synod of the Catholic divines of the arch diocese of Milwaukee that has been convened for very many years. The council has been calledjit the instance of Archbishop Katzer, and this prelate is presiding over Us deliberations. Absolute secrecy is attached to the proceedings of the body, but it was officially given out this morning that it had been called Tjrimariiy for the purpose of discussing" matters of discipline, or the laws which bind the members of the church in their conduct as dis-tinct from dogmas or articles of faith, which affect their belief. One important subject to come up for consideration is the decrees of the third plenary council of Baltimore with particular reference to the application to the laws of discipline. The schpol ques-tion and other semi-politic- al matters, which during the past year or more ihave consid.-erabl- y agitated the state are also likely to be considered. It is expressly intimated that the synod has simtly advisory powers, and that in all matters examined into, the arch-bishop himself will have full and arbitrary powers of decision. . . a . welcome is not needed. It would be an amazing thing if the national guard of Penn-sylvania was not welcome to any part of the state.' O'Donnell said: "On the part of the Amalgamated association, after suffering an attack from illegal authority we are glad to have the legal authority of the state here. "I do not recognize your association," Snowden replied. "I recognize no one but. the citizens of this city." "But we wish to submit," O'Donnell said, when the general cut him short by saying, "Then submit to the gentleman behind you," indicating Sheriff McCleary. "1 do submit to him," said O'Don-nell, "we have never at any time ques-tioned the sheriff's order." O'Donnell appealed to the sheriff to say whether or not they had obeyed orders. "No, you have not," said the sheriff, "you refuse to let my deputies enter the works." After some further desultory conversation and an awkward pause the committee de-parted. HOMESTEAD MILLS TO RESUME. So Says Frick of the Carnegie Company in an Interview Today. PiTTSBCRfi, July 12. H. C.

If tuey Go to Work All Carnegie Work-men Will Co Out, Which Will Cause 50,000 Men to be Idle. Pittsburg, July 12. Sheriff McCleary has sworn in a number of special deputies to serve bench warrants on leaders of the' strike. It is said that such Bteps will have a greater effect at Homestead than even the troops. The fact that (hose arrested will be put in jail and cannot be released under bail will take the leaders and their counsel will bo misRed. On the other hand it is claimed that this step may cause the hot-heade- d to break out as 60on as the cool-hea- d 3d leaders are removed. No arrests will be made until tomorrow. Chris. Evans, sscretary of the American federation of labor, arrived here from New York to look over the ground with a view to report to the executive council of that or-ganization. A QUIET NIGHT. in Holiday Attire to Greet the Troops. Homestead, Pa., July 12. The night passed quietly ; all Homestead was in holi-day attire early this morning in anticipation stead mills as soon as possible. I here were many of the locked out men who were will-ing to accept the terms of the company and return to work, if they could be protected in doing so. It would be necessary, how-ever, to secure additional outside non-unio- n help. He thought it could not be long bn-fo- re the entire plant wonld be in operation. Pattison Talks. Baltimore, July 12. The News corres-pondent at Harrisburg had a talk with Gov-ernor Pattison on the Homestead affair. Among other things he said that Pennsyl-vania had very strict provisions against the entry of armed men but the Pinkertons on the barges were not armed until they entered the state. They secured arms and ammunition at lock No. 2. The governor declared he did not know of the trouble at Homestead till he returned to Harrisburg. He supposed it was merely the annual July shut-dow- and the men were always glad of this opportunity to take a holiday and picnic with their fami-lies. Congressmen on the Grounds. Pittsburg, July 12. President Weihe of the Amalgamated association, substantially admitted this morning that the workmen in all of the Carnegie plants to aggregate 20,-00- 0 will be called out if the company at-tempts to start up at Homestead with non-union men. The congressional investigating commit-tee arrived at noon and held a preliminary conference with Carnegie's attorney and others. The attorney said the company would like the fullest investigation and that Frick would appear before the committee and testify. The committee went to Home-stead this afternoon and will begin taking evidence at 4 p.m. of the miiitia. It was expected the troops would arrive by daybreak and people turned out in anticipation of that event ready to welcome the blue-coate- d representatives of the state with a procession of brass bands, school children and flowers, but the situa-tion became somewhat ludicrous as the hours passed and the militia did not appear. The bands did their best to keep up the spir-its of the multitude, but with indifferent success. It was after 9 o'clock when the cry went up that the troops were coming. They arrived by train from the rendezvous at Greensburg, and consisted of the Second and Third brigades, numbering THREE THOUSAND men, under command of General Snowden, together with two Gatling guns and three field pieces. The sudden arrival, in the ab-sence of the leaders of the strikers, discon-certed the programme for the reception and the soldiers evidently did not desire such treatment from men . whom they were sent there to keep in order. They were received with perfect respect and here and there . was an ATTEMPT AT CHEERING set up by the populace. The troops descended from the train, formed and silently marched in perfect order and took ptnossession of the mills, deployed artillery the access to the Monongahela opposite the milis, set pickets all about the works, tnd settled the question of taking posse-sion of ihe town by marching one company direct to the strikers headquarter, another to the vicinity of the depot ana a third to the slight eminence overlooking and com-rnandi-the commercial center of the town. Then Homestead was in the hands of mili-tary and martial law had succeeded the arbitrary reign of the advisory committee. Citizens of Homestead were deeply disap- - fointed thathtethwehmolielittioawtnhoiungsthetaditonfecceonsfsianr-y ing themselves to the mills, but gave no open evidence of the fact. It was a complete ac-quiescence in the power of the 6tate and as gracefully as they could the strikers ac-cepted the Inevitable. Batteries across the river command the whole town as well as the Carnegie works. AVhen the troops arrived the strikers' pickets located in the neighborhood, left their posts and congregated to watch the soldiers. The strike leaders at once sent them back to their stations, telling them they had no business to leave their poets, in-structing them NOT TO LET AST KOX-TJXIO-JI MEN or detectives through the lines. The leaders told them the troops would not interere with them in this. Similiar instructions were given other watchmen and the whole strike picket line outside the picket of the troops. DON'T LIKE SNOTVDKN. Strikers Very Bitter Against Him for His Kebuif. . T . . rr i . homestead, uiy i. ine sinners' guards have been withdrawn from about the mill. Their places were taken by the provost guard which patrols all the streets near the mills. A representative of the Carnegie company quietly took possession of the mill about 10 a. m., so quietly in fact that his presence was not known till afternoon. The rebuff which the strikers met when they called on General Snowden has made them very bitter against him. They de-nounce turn in unmeasured terms and now look for a large importation of Pinkertons today or tomorrow and while the majority are decidedly intimidated by the presence of the troops some swear they will resist the landing of detectives at any cost. It is believed that the Carnegie company has over a thousand non-unio- n men ready to run into the works as soon as safety is assured by having the Pinkerton guard now supposed to be scattered about in Pittsburg ready to be ordered to Homestead. SNOWDEN IS CRUSTX. The Leaders of the Association Get No Consolation from Him. Homestead, July 12. As soon as General Snowden established his headquarters he was waited upon by a committee represent-ing the Amalgamated ass6ciation and citi-zens. The spokesman said for them that they welcomed the troops and olfered he of the citizens in preserving order. General Snowden said: "I thank you for the welcome,' but don't need any of your The only way the good citizens can now with us is to go peaceably about tber business." The spokesman said: "The citizens wish fo fknow what time they may give you a public reception." Snowden replied: "I can accept no re-ception. It would be most improper.

The Bubbling Passions of this Cosmopol-itan Nation Finds Vent In Murder. Cincinnati, July 13. A Commercial Ga-zette Paducah, Ky., special says: Shortly after 9 o'clock last evening, while the city council was in session, the chief of police threw a bomb in their midst by announcing that a report Lad just reached him that two or three hundred negroes, armed with Win-chester rifles, had congregated in the vicin-ity of the jail prepared for an attack. The council at once adjourned. ' The mayor 6ent a dispatch to the governor, asking him to order out company C of the state guard, lo-cated here. Every able-bodie- d man was on the streets, and everybody who could obtain arms of any kind did so. The sheriff has charge of a posse of fifty or seventy-fiv- e men armed with shotguns and revolvers procured from various hardware stores; CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Underlying the cause of the uprising is the hanging of Charles Hill, the negro who made an assault upon Lydia Starr some weeks ago. The negroes have been secretly "obtaining arms for some time, and some-thing of this kind has been looked for al-most any time. The immediate cause of the outbreak is the arrest of a colored man named Thomas Burgess. At 1:30 o'clock last night the marshal and mayor returned to the jail from a round of the 6quads of negroes, who. when the mayor and marshal promised that no violence would be done, the prisoner in jail promised to disperse and began to do so. The marshal addressed the crowd of white peo-ple and told them to go home as the ne-groes were dispersing and no violence need be feared. The people began to do so, and in a few minutes the crowd was reduced to the militia and about forty armed citizens. At 13 o'clock a BAND OF SEVENTr-FIV- E NEGROES suddenly appeared marching down Sixth street and opened fire upon the men col-lected at the jail. . At the first fire Elmer Edwards, a young man of about 20 years of age, fell shot through the abdomen. He was a member of the militia company. The fire was returned by the militia and armed citi-zens and the negroes beat a precipitate re-treat. The militia also retreated in disorder back to the court house where they kept up firing until the negroes disappeared down the street. The jail and court room are now filled with militia and armed citizens. The negroes have retreated to the Odd Fellows lodge room which was their chief headquarters last night. The police arrested and placed in jail over fifty negroes who were found carrying arms and they are guarded to prevent any attempt to release them. The mortal wounding of young Edwards aroused a storm of indigna-tion that is kept from, breaking out only with difficulty and an attempt to avenge his death is almost eertain to be made. The excitement is high and at 3 o'clock this morning the streets are filled with people. More Trouble Feared. Louisville, July 12 There has been no more blood shed but further trouble is ex-pected tonight. Elmer Edwards, the soldier shot last night, died this morning. If the negroes congregate at the jail again tonight there is likely to be a bloody clash. DEATH. The OoBur d'Alene Mines the Scene of Bloody Fighting Between Union and Non-Uni- on Men. SIX MINERS ARE KILLED. Many Mora Are Wounded and the End of the Trouble Is Not Yet in Sight. Idaho Militia Unable to Cope With the Fighting Miners and President Harrison Appealed To. JUDGE BEATTY'S OPINION. ready lost; much valuable property is destroyed, and the mob is moving to Wardner. Jtyerjthing now depends on promptness. The latest dispatch received by the sena- tors (signed by Governor Willey) says the reported casuallties so far Is six killed and eeven wounded. Fear is expressed that scenes of violence may extend to other parts of the state necessitating a proclamation of martial law. Union miners are described as an undisbiplined mob from 400 to 500 strong and armed with Winchesters and revolvers. They are elated with their success and will not qe satisfied until every new man is driven from the mines. Many preliminaries have been arranged so the president will be able to act tromptly when formal requisition is made and as soon as it is received it will be sent to the presidedt who is evpected to bo in Saratoga all day. JUDGE BEAILT'S OPINION. He Grants a Provisional Restrainlng'.Order in the Coenr d'Alene Case. Boise, Ida., July 12. The opinion of Judge Beatly of the United States district court ii the injunction case against the Miners Union of the Coeur d'Alenes, was filed yesterday. The judge reviews the case at great .length, reviews the granting of a a temporary injunction on the prayer of the mine owners restraining the miners rrom interfering with the property and after cit-ing the leading features of the case, the acts of violence alleged on the part of the men,J inquiry en the part of the governor and the proclamation of the latter which is a part of the record warning the inhabitants of Shoshone county the court says: "After a most careful ex-amination the conclusion that the foregoing is a correct statement of facts cannot be avoided that wrong exists. Rights have been infringed on, unoffending citizens have been maltreated, the law has been overridden." The judge then declared the court has jurisdiction, and says the outcome of the acts complained of would be to give the miners control of the mines on their own terms. In view of all these facts the court grants a provisional injunction pending the final hear-ing of the case. Judge Beatty takes oc-casion to explain that his original restrain-ing order was not intended to apply to any newspaper. This explanation was rendered necessary by the fact that one or more news-papers in ihe Co?ur d'Alenes alleged that they had been officially served with copies of the injunction. --a.

The president telegraphed from Saratoga today to the secretary of war to send troops to with the civil authorities in preserving life and property in Idaho. General Sehofield thereupon telegraphed the governor of Idaho that troops would be sent at once. He also telegraphed to Gen-eral Merriam at St. Paul to send three com-panies of infantry from Missoula and tele-graphed to General Ruger at San Francisco to send all the infantry that could be spared from Ft. Sherman. In case other troops are necessary they will be sent from Ft. Custer and Fort Spo-kane. The presidents order is as follows: Saratoga, N. Y., July 12. Secretary of War Washington: The governor of the state of Idado has called upon me under section 4 of the constitution, for assistance n sup-pressing a domestic disturbance which the state authorieties are unable to control. You will at once send to the scene of the disorder adequate forces of troops from the nearest station under an officer of rank and discretion with orders to with the civil authorities in preserving the peace and protecting life and property. I will reach Washington tonight. Benjamin Harrison. General Sehofield who addition to being major-gener- commanding the army is act-a- s secretary of war, thereupon sent a tele-gram to the governor of Idaho that he would send the troops, K General Sehofield also telegraphed Gen-eral Wesley Mcrritt, commanding the de-partment of Dakota, at St. Paul: "Send three companies of infantry from Missoula by rail direct to the scene of the disturbance with directions to reDort to the commanding officers of troops sent from Fort Sherman for a like purpose and with orders to assist the civil authorities in sup-pressing the existinc, disorder in preserving the peace and protecting property and life. This is by order of the president upon the call of the governor of Idaho. Report the receipt and execution of .this order. Direct Uhe com-manding officer to report to you frequently everything important, which you will trans-mit to me." General Schofield's telegram to General Ruger at San Francisco was of like tenor. It is intimated he will send to the scene of the disturbance all the infantry that can be spared. PRESIDENT HARRISON APPEALED TO Idaho Troops Inadequate to Cope With the Strikers. Boise, Idaho, July 12. The following message was sent by Governor Willey to President Harrison last night: This morning riot andiloodshed by the striking miners in the Cneur d'AMie district commrncea. The mill was blown up by dynamite. Many men were killed and injured. Inspector General Cur-tis of the I. N. G. informs me that 400 or 500 armed men constitute the moh. The legislature is not in session and cannot be promptly convened. The civil authorities of the county and state are wholly Inadequate to maintain peace. The immediately available military force of the Idaho national guard num-bers only lM6men which in my opinion ia far too few to successfully cope with the mob, though 1 will order it at once into the field. In this emer-gency I deem it necessary to call for the assist-ance cf federal troops. I therefore request that enfflrient force be detailed from Fort Sherman or else w here to act in concert with the state author-ities toward maintaining public order. N. B. WILLEY, Governor. NEW MEN TO BE DRIVEN OUT. Union Miners are Jubilant, and Trouble May Extend Over Idaho. Washington, July 12. Senators Shoup and Dubois of Idaho, received a number of dispatches in regard to the mining troubles in the Coeur d'Alene region today. The first one came from Marshal Pinkhsui, who transmitted a message from a man named John Pinch, at Wallace, reporting fighting in the Gem and Frisco mines saying: We are powerless to stop the conflict and we fear many will be killed and the mills burned. With the telegram containing this infor-mation the senators went to call on the president and secretary of war, but were not able to see either, the president being out of the city and' the secretary away from the department. They then called on the attorney-- general and after, a consultation with him telegraphed the governor as to condi-tions under which the president could act in the matter of calling out Federal troops to aid in maintaining order and preserving peace. At midnight the senators received the fol-lowing from theattorney-general- , Geo, H. Roberts at Boise, Idaho? . "The governor Is now preparing to call-- , on the president for troops.

Meldrum Cuts Hia Throat From Ear to Ear. NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR THE ACT. The Horrible Discovery Made at 5 O'clock This Morning Meldrum was a Re-turned Missionary Friends Here. Special Dispatch to The Time. Pkovo, July 12. This city was thrown into a fever of excitement this morning, when John B. Meldrum, a resident of the Fifth ward, was found lying on the prem-ises of J. G. Jones with his throat cut from ear to ear, and barely alive from loss of blood. THE HORRIBLE DISCOVEBTPVAS MiM at 5 a.m. and the wound was Inflicted with a razor, undoubtedly in his own hand and with suicidal intent. ; Dr. Pike was at once called and he dressed the cut, which exten-ded across the throat, cutting the wind pipe and several arteries. Mr. Meldrum had just returned from Skull Valley, where he had been on a mis-sion for three years in the Interest of the Mormon church in ,. . THE KANAKA SETTLEMENT. He left his father's house about 10 o'clock last night to go to the train and meet his wife, who was expected down from Salt Lake, but it is not known whether he went to the depot or not. He left no.letter to explain the cause .for his rash act. At this time he is still alive. He is well known n Salt Lake where he has many friends. Later Meldrum died at 4 o'clock this af-ternoon. THE LIBERAL CONFERENCE. It Promises to Be a Great Gathering of the Party. . THOSE WHO WILL BE ADMITTED. Judge Powers Says Those Who Believe In Division Will Not Bo Debarred From Attending Split Recognised. Everything indicates that the liberal con-ference to be held in this.city on Wednesday July 20th, will be the greatest gathering of liberals ever held, which shows that its im-portance is appreciated. The questions, to be considered are vital ones, and the result of the conference will be far reaching. Interest in it is by no means confined to this city, but extends all over the territory. There is much discussion here, and probably elsewhere, as to who will be eligible to admission to the confer-ence, and for the purpose of clearing the matter up, a Timbs reporter called on Judge Powers at his new home in the Dr. Beattie residence, on J street this morning. "As you are doubtless aware," said the re-porter, "there is much uncertainty as to who will be admitted to the liberal conference. Will you answer the question V WHO WIIX BE ADMITTED. "Certainly," replied the judge. "Anyone and everyone who at the last election held at the place where he lives, voted the liberal ticket, is eligible, no matter what his views concerning the liberal party are now. More-over, any person who has never voted a lib-eral ticket, but who desires to support the party, can receive a ticket." "How will it be with a man who has al-ways been a liberal, but who honestly be-lieves that the election this fall should be on national party lines?" "He is entitled to a ticket and has a right to take part in the conference. Otherwise it might just as well be announced that only liberals holding certain views can attend, and attend, and a conference of that kind wonld be a mockery." "Will men who believe that the election this fall should be cn party lines be allowed to express their views?" they will be recognized. - (.''Why, of course. - It ia the intention to secure as .much light as possible oa the sub-jects referred to in the call. The confer-ence assembles at the request of the liberal territorial committee for the purpose of enabling the committee to ascertain the views of the men who have composed and still compose the liberal party. No favoritism will be shown and every man will be invited to express his honest convictions, without fear or favcr." "Such a man as Hon. C. S. Varian will then be entitled to be heard?" "Most certainly. He will be welcomed and listened to with pleasure." THERE WILL BE NO PACKINO. "There is a rumor abroad that it is the in-tention of the radical liberals to pack the convention so it can only result as they de-sire. Can you say that this is false?" "It is, absolutely." THE PARTT DIVIDED. "You recognize that there is a division of sentiment in the liberal party as to the advis-ability of placing a candidate in the field this fall?" "Yes, an to determine that question is one of the reasons why the convention was called, for in a multitude of counsel is wisdom.' " . . "You expect a large attendance?" "Yee, it looks as though there would be a great gathering, and it puzzles us to find a suitable place to meet in. AVe may get the exposition buildings. It looks now as though there would be 5000 people in attendance. We don't propose, of course, to have the convention hall packed with people who are not in any sense liberals. We want a calm, deliberative body." "How long will the conference last;" "Until everyone has been heard who de-sires to be heard; and the conference will last mntll everybody is satisfied, if it takes four days." HE IS NOT A. PROPHET. "You don't care to make a prediction as to what the action of the conference will be?" "If I did, it would be said that I was not trying to pack the convention, but to pack people's minds with my own notions. Be-sides, I am not a prophet. In this connec-tion, I may say that ladies will be admitted as well as gentlemen." IN RAILWA-Y CIRCLES. Howard Gould and Other Union Pacific Magnates In Town Railway Notes. The party of Union Pacific magnates who passed thaough here a short time ago have returned to the city on their way east, and are stopping at the Knutsford. The party consists of Howard Gould, a son of the Wall street wizard, Ed Dickson, J. H. McConnell and L. H. Korty, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company. SALOON MEN RILED.

T'l saloon keepers are riled and no mis-take, and they propose to take action. "We are going to have a meeting this af-ternoon," said one of them to a Times man, "and are going to take action on the matter. We consider that we are not being treated right by the administration which we cre-ated. The saloon men of this city have, ar a rule, kept their places very orderly on Sun. day. There maybe a few exceptions but the?, are very few. We pay a higher license in this city than in any other in the United States and have less privileges.

"We are not decided as to that. Soma oC us are in favor of asking the city council to give us a rebate of $200 per year on our license. But I don't favor any 6uch move-ment.

Some people say that Baskin is stubborn and has got a backbone and all that. I don't care a tinker'6 continental if his backbone is as stifE as a crowbar. What I am in favor-- of is the organization of clubs." "How do you propose this scheme." "Simply refrain from applying for or re-ceiving a license. There is $1200 a year saved at the start. Then open a club house Have everybody initiated that desires. Set up a nice lunch every day. Make the initia-tion fee low so that all can come in. Then sell to your customers.

"Well, what do you think you will do re-garding closing?" "Do? why, we will close until we gefc thoroughly organized and then we will open clubs without license."

He objected to being located where anybody who could raise a quarter and car fare could get to see him, and he acted wisely. Sullivan is now hard at work, and B. Y. Chambers of New York, who was with the champion re-cently, said on Sunday last: "John didn't take nearly as many pounds of useless tissue to his new quarters as he dis-played a month ago on the stage. He worked hard and perspired freely at Phil Casey's hand-ba- ll court before he really got to business. While there he ran a good deal and tossed a six-poun- d ball; the result being that he speedily worked off over twenty pounds. While in the court he lifted his feet not more than two inches from the wooden flooring and made the circuit of the tomb-lik- e iinclosure with the least possible exertion. "It was apparent that none of his strength but much of his elasticity had left him. Casey kept company with him, and though stripped to the waist, he perspired freely. Sullivan wore a heavy woolen sweater, and the moisture which was oozing from every pore trickled down his cheeks and in swell-ing rivulets disappeared in the sweater. "The work was very hard, and while it was evidently distasteful to John, determi-nation was written all over his face. "There is no doubt he Is very much in earnest. "He recognizes that if he hasn't every-thing to win he, at least, has everything to lose. "That Sullivan's muscles have lost much of their pliability is evident, but he may recover it before he is through with his training." Sporting Splinters. The Facific Athletic club of San Francisco wants to match Soe Goddard and Joe Choyn-sk- i. At Danville, Illinois, Thursday, Miss Lola Grimes of Indianapolis, drove the pacing horse Riley against 2:18, the best record of the association. The first mile was paced in 2:19 and the second in 2 :19. Nancy Hanks, 2:09, was the attraction at Belmont park, Philadelphia, Thursday. She was sent against Sunol's record of 2:0834, but 2:11,V was the best she conld do. Budd Doble sent the crack mare two warming-u- p heats in 2:26 and 2:21 and then, accom-panied by a runner, and, after scoring twice, Bhe went the mile. The time ' by quarters was 0:32. 1:04 V. 1:37. 2:11V This is the. fastest mile ever trotted at Belmont. In September, 1890, Sunol made it in 2:11V. Nancy Hanks worked beautifully, but she tired perceptibly on the last half. Bob Fitzsimmons is on his way to New Orleans, to prepare for his fight with Jack O'Brien. He expresies a great desire to meet Hall, and when asked regarding a re-port that he and his old trainer, Jimmie Car-roll, would make up and become friends said: "! would cut off this left arm at the elbow first. I am done with Carroll forever. He is small and mean. He tried to backbite me in every town we traveled through and was jealous of every piece of applause I re-ceived. I whacked up every dollar I made with him, never got a dollar in return, and got nothing but ingratitude and abuse be-hind my back." Arthur Zimmerman, the American cyclist, bow in England, will leave for home July 16. His stay abroad has been most disap-pointing both to himself and his friends on this side. Not that "Zimmy" failed to win all the honors and races possible, for he did that nobly, but because he failed to conquer England's boasted champion, Fred J. Os- - mond, of 2:16 fame. Osmond refused to go against him. He would not start in the English one and one-ha- lf mile champion-ships, pleading lack of condition, but his action is significant. He could not afford to risk his reputation and that of the wheel he rides against the American, but it is possi-ble that by his cowardice he will lose far more than he would have done had Zimmer-man defeated him. THt PLUMBERS' STRIKE. MR. ELLERBECK SATS HE NEVER GATE A SCAB A GUN. The Affidavit or W. Scott Morrill Shows That He Did The Strike Still On Both Sides Still Firm. It was hODed yesterday that the difficulty between the striking plumbers, tinners and cornice workers and the .employers would soon be adjusted. but the expected settlement now seems further off than ever. In an interview, which appeared in one of the day breaks this morning, Mr. Ellerbeck, a master plumber, takes issue with a statement made in Tee Times to the effect that he had furnished one of the scabs with a gun, but adds that he would give every man a doubled-barrele- d shot gun if necessary to protect themselves. the proof. The following affidavit shows whether The Times or Mr. Ellerbeck has told the truth: Territory of Utar, ) County of Salt Lake. ( W. Scott Morrill being duly sworn and says; I am a resident of Salt Lake City, Utah, and am a plumber by trade and occupation; on .Jane 23rd, 1S92, 1 was employed by the lirin of Ellerbeck & Heefch of ejid Salt Lake City who are in the plumbing business; that owing to difficulties be-tween employers and employees a general strike was then on by the plumbers Union men includ-ing Salt Lake City, Utah. I was seen and inter-viewed shortly after I was so employed as afore-said, by a Union man who came to me and aked if I did not know a strike was on. I replied that I did, but it was on account cf needine money badly that I worked: I was also interviewed by another Union man later and made the same re-mark to him. Shortly thereafter on the next dsy, one B. M. Ellerbeck of the firm of Ellerbeck & Heeech, accosted me and inquired if I had been seen and interviewed hy Union men in relation to my work with eaid firm and I informed him that 1 had been ; that thereupon, the said Ellerbeck, replied, "If I see any of theses of b s (meaning said Union men) monkeying around with iny of my men I will shoot them, by J esus Christ " He iurther asked me in said conversa-tion if I had not better carry a gun, and asked me if I had one. Thereupon deponent replied that he did not think there was any use, that he conld not whip the whole Plumbers tTnion. Thereupon said Ellerbeck replied and said that deponent HAD BETTER CARRT A 6CJT and that if he. said deponent, got into any trouble he, said Ellerbeck, wonld ee said deponent through if it costs one thousand dollars. That in aid conversation deponent asked sai d Ellerbeck if he would Uke any of the nnion men back, and the said Ellerbeckreplied J 'No, I don't think the sons of bitches will ever work for me again."

It Open Under Very Auptcias Circum-stances. Helena, Mont., July -- 12. The national mining congress which opened today "is much more important in point of numbers than the one which assembled in Denver a year ago, and from which the call for the present gathering was issued. Nearly every state and territory is represented, the dele-gates in the majority of instances being ap-pointed by the governors of the several com-monwealths. Silver men are here from all over the un-ion, and there is a remarkably large numbST of the mono-metallist- It is intended to be a strictly non-partisa- n gathering, devoted entirely to the mining business, aflhough the free silver question will be freely dis-cussed. Up to 10 o'clock this morning over six-teen hundred delegates had registered, not counting the hundreds of visitors who are interested in the pnoceedings of the gather-ing although not officially accredited as dele-gates. Amone the prominent arrivals this morning was 1j. F.'DeForrest, who repre-sents the New York Mining exchange. He says that the New York mining market has for several months been in a bad shape, ow-ing to the unwillingness of the general pub-lic to indulge in free trading, and he pro-poses to present a statement on the opening to the convention. There is great need, he says, of a reform, and through'which all the wild-ca- t stocK may be exterminated., specu-lators, he said, ought to be able to go into a mining exchange with the same degree of confidence enjoyed by those operating in wheat, cotton) and other commodities. The time has arrived when it has become abso-lutely necessary to protect the public lrom imposition, and this can only be done by routing out and absolutely exterminating the wild-cat- s. The splendid new auditorium was packed to its full capacity shortly after noon, when tha convention was called to order. It was the inaugural national , convention of the new structure, and its conveniences and beauty elicited many warm expressions from the delegates from south, east and welt. The convention was called to order by Hon. B. Brown, chairman of the executive com-mittee of the National Mining association, and who with General J. K. Toole, n. P. Hauser, and ethers delivered ad-dresses of welcome and to ' which several ' appropriate responses were made by visiting delegates. The states were then called for the usual committees on credentials and per- manent organization. - POLICE COURT. O'Neill's Hearing Set for Thursday The Other Cases Tried.

Thomas Smith's Heirs Plant at Heavy Suit Against St. Louis. 8t. Louis, July 12. The heirs of one Thomas Smith are suing the city for a million dollars, and the suit is ready to go to trial. Several years ago the city pur-chased from Thomas Smith the ground known as Washington square, paying him $25,000 for it and pledging itself to keep it as a public square forever. Now it is erect-ing a new city hall in the center of the, square at an outlay of $2,000,000, and the Smiths elaim another million as damages for breach of agreement. Several eminent lawyers are encouraging the Smiths, bat the city's legal advisers laugh at the claim on the ground that the square will be beautified by the proposed fountains and walks around "the municipal building.
