The Suspicion That Dunford Was Mur-dered Now Intimated. IT IS A GROUNDLESS RUMOR. Saloon Men Before the Police Court Plead Guilty Other Notes of Crime. Coroner Harris is investigating the cause of the death of Harry Dunford, who was buried this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Dunford died from the effects of a blow received at the hands of some parties about four days ago. He was arrested on the charge of being drunk and was put in jail over night. The next morning he pleaded guilty to being drunk under the name of G. H. Doe. The court asked him how long he had been drinkiutr and he replied Keudals at a quarter to 11 Sunday morning. Hcury Luce, jr., the bartender, who gave his name as John Doe. was behind the bar, doing business He gave bouds in the sum of $100 and his case has been set for Wed-nesday next at 2 p. m. Captain Donovan and the chief were the officers who arrested Louis Hobein and John Brun, who run the Star saloon ou State street between First and Second South. Hobein locked the door but Donovan forced it oDen. Some eight or ten men were in-- , side. Both Hobein and Brun gave bonds in the sum of $100. Wm. Merritt and James Goodman were arrested at the St. Louis beer hall on Second South street by Captain Donovan and Officer Johnson, and John E. Trewhala and L. Hellstrom were pulled by the latter officer in Trewhala's place on Commercial street. The authorities give it out that Sunday saloon closing has come to stay and most of the saloon men are disDosed to obey the law. Some of them, however, are a little bit radical and say that if they close the festive soda fountain man must also shut down and that the practice of taking men one after the other behind the prescription counter for conversations wmcn aiwavs re-sult in changing the odor of the breath must cease. CHARGED WITH GRAKD LARCENY. Two Sports Arrested for Stealing: a Rou-lette Wheel from Brown's Saloon. Ou Saturday afternoon Deputy Marshall Will Goodsell attached the fixtures of the Wave saloon on Main street in the suit of Auerbach Bros. vs. Browu, et al. In going through the place the officer found that a roulette wheel, which was there on Friday had disappeared, and there was no one about who could give him any information as to where it had goue. Mr. Goodsell then visited the express officers, and found the wheel at the otlice of the Pa-cific express company, where it had been left for shipment to Evan-sto- n. He next found the shipper and learned that he had purchased it from two sports named McKay and Mott, who have since been arrested for grand lar-ceny. They will have a hearing before Commissioner Greenman tomorrow at 10 a.m. Mott has been released on bonds, but McKay was unable to find sureties, and is in the penitentiary. Arrested for Assault. William Fox, an employe of the IXL sta-bles, was arrested this afternoon on a war-rant charging him with assault and battery. C. W. Kneuppel is the prosecuting witness but a short time. He declined to state when he was Btruck or who struck him, but his face bore evi-dence of the fact the must have been dealt a frightful blow, and that, too, with some blunt instrument. The right eye was nearly closed and a bad bruise just over it showed that he had becu hit on the temple. He claimed to be feeling very badly at the time. Coroner Harris secured a jury and visited the house this afternoon and examined the remains. An adjournment was then taken to await developments. The theory that Dunford was murdered, which theory aforesaid is set up by a 'writer in the sanctum of the six-da- y history is as absurd as it is groundless. That Dunford met his death from the effects of a violent encounter with some one is highly probable, but everything goes to show that he was fighting with some one. His reticence regarding the affair is of itself sufficient toiustify a belief in this point. Sergeant Frank Wire says Dunford's con-dition the night he was brought in was one of beastly intoxication. The bruises over his eye were the same as described above. Justice Kesler says Dunford told him he fell down and hurt himself. The general opinion at the station is that Dunford fell down near the Valley house, where he was found, while he was on his way home, and that no one is to blame for his sad ending. Coroner Harris held an inquest over the remains of Dunford this afternoon. The jurors were W. B. Booth, A. C. Ivins and Steele. Untlertaker Joseph W. Taylor was first sworn. He testified to the nature of the wounds on the head, which were the in-direct cause of death. He testified to hav-ing seen the deceased about 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon last, when deceased showed witness the bruise on the side of his head. Witness asked him where he got it, and he answered that he did not know. Mr. George Dunford testified that deceased come to his house about 11 o'clock Thursday morning, with his head fearfully bruised and his eye black. He asked him where he got hurt and receiv-ed an evasive reply. Friday he told his wife that tome one had "thumped him." W. J. Jackson, a butcher opposite the Valley house after closing up his shop, about 8 o'clock, went over and sat in front of the house. He saw Harry sitting on a bench apparently asleep, and soon after saw him fall off the bench, striking the right side of his head and face on the ground. He was picked up but fell again, when three men picked him up and laid him on the carriage platform in front of the house. L. W. Schied.who helped pick him up, tes-tified to the same effect. Neither of these parties noticed blood or bruises on his face, but stated they did not notice particularly. , . - Mr. Carter, proprietor of the Valley House. " stated that his attention was called to a man lying on the carriage platform in front of the house about 11 o'clock, and he got his porter and carried Dunford behind the house and laid him on the grass. Saw blood and bruises on the right side of his head and face, and right shoulder of his coat, and got Bome of it on his hands. In about half an hour v Dunford came out in front of the house again and laid down. Mr. Carter then called the patrol wagon and Dunford was taken to the city hall. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. POLICE COURT. A Man With $1 1,000 Is Held for Examina-tion Other Cases. The morning session of police court was a dull and spiritless affair with one excep-tion. That exception was Arthur Williams, charged with petit larceny and vagrancy-Arthu-r is a young man of about 30 years-whos- e face bears evidence of a lack of men-tal acumen and a two weeks growth of whiskers.

He effered to show to the astonished eyes of the court $11,000 in five minutes. The representative of the majesty of the revised statutes said he would be pleased to fasten his optics on a stack of money of that size, and turned hi3 head a few moments to engage In conversation with the city attorney. When he looked the defendant was again gone. "Where did that man go to?" asked the . court. "Out," responded the bailiff. "Didn't you turn him loose?" "Well, not if the court knows itself it did not. Bring him back instanter." Williams was brought back. He explained that he was going to go and get the $11,000 to 6how the court. "Where is this money?" inquired Kesler. ' "It is down at 166 South West Temple," responded Williams. . "Who has it?" "A lady named Miss Williams, who made it in Paris dress making. She and I think a jjTeat deal of each other, and we are going to travel to Europe together." " i "Is 6he your wife?" "No, but maybe she will be. You know how it is you'eelf, judge," and from that point the gay and fes- - tive VMlIlams lost what little sense ho had and in the end the court committed him for examination as to his sanity. He is doubt-less as crazy as a loon. Chas. Lester, William Wilson, George Day-ton, and J. Smith, four drunks, pleaded guilty but sentence was suspended in their cases. At the afternoon session the cases of some of the liquor dealers for selling on Sunday came up. James Goodman, one of the men . arrested in Merrill's saloon was dismissed on a showing made that he was merely there cleaning up the place and had nothing to do with selling anythine. Merrill pleaded guilty and was fined $15 which he paid. Trewhela also pleadl euilty and it being ! his first offense he was fined $15. His bar- - tender was released, the court remarking ! that the law contemplated punishing the owners of the saloon and not agents who ; misht innocently violate the law. j (n account of the illness of Captain Paul who went home sitk, the case of Louis Hobein, owner of the Star saloon, was con tinued until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. i Clarence Hall is attorney for the defense. ' Pat Kclley and Jacob Isaacson charged j with trespass were discharged. AKKESIED FOR SUNDAY SELLING. j Seven Saloon Men Seised for Sabbath Sa loon Sacrilige. Tiie merry war against saloons which are open on Sunday has began and as a result seven dispensers of liquid refreshments are awaiting trial for violation of the Sunday ' ordinance.

J yT An English Paper Asks Some Leading 1 Questions . , J New York, July 1S.-- ?A dispatch from London says: Referring to ti-- e Homestead' troubles the Times and Echo, the , leading organ of the tvade unionists and working classes generally, says that the only, remedy ; for the present condition of affairs through-out the labor world is the substitution, of national corporations for capitalistic eompe. tition. Mere private combinations being the employees on one hand, and trade unions of workmen on the other, will never, do any real good. They have done some good-trad- es unions especially, but at their best they are but armed bodies waging war, aud all war ia immoral, wasteful and pernicious. There must be in the near future, national! for the acquisition and j1 opment and direction of all indK. t.-- i I which only the workers shall have share, and in which there shall be no temp-tation to make unfair profits, because all profits will be shared by the workers alike. Competition, he says, is crushing the life; out of labor, and yet strangely enough the employers grow richer and richer, ana praise t competition as full of all sorts of blessings. The paper goes, on in this radical strain: "Competition has long ceased to. be. the struggle for the survival of the fittest; it i now simply a battle of the strongest and most unscrupulous, and in this battle those who are the most reckless in their adultera-tions, in their misrepresentations to buyers, in their oppression of their workmen, in their fraudulent appropriation of capital, must win if they have ordinary business ca-pacity and energy. They do win every-where. There is little or no honest trading in England today. There is little or no hon-- " est work dose, because the emplo3-c- r has handicapped the worker so thoroughly, taught him Uie art of making things seem what is wanted and not to be such, that the art of doing really honest work is half for-gotten. Meanwhile the great capitalists) grow richer year by year. , The small ma-- ; ters are crushed out everywhere, and so, few teachers are left of the arts and crafts. The large employer runs three or four or a dozen businesses, each superintended by managers who are bullied if the yearly rate of pront is not maintained, and who are consequently careless of every other condition. Pharoah is in his palace, drowned in the sensual en-joyment of the vast tribute of the slaves he never sees. The taskmasters are the bond-thrall- s' only embodiment of true raas-terhoo- d. If this horrible condition of things to which we have come continues.and grows in evil intensity, as grow it must, there is no possible end of it all but national decay, preceded probably by fearful scenes of rev-olutionary violence.

Of the eighteen seats yet seven Irish and six British in the late parliament were held by the opposition and five by unionists. As changes are un-likely, the new parliament will consist of 353 Gladstonians and 315 unionists. without TesuIL The greatest caution waa exercised to prevent the publication of the figures, but the cost of making a ton of basic open heartti and and acid open hearth was secured. The official figures"were taken right from the books of Carnegie, Phlppa fe Co., December 28, 18S9. There follows a lengthy itemized statement which shows the total cost of acid open hearth per ton to be $26.84, and. the total cost per ton of basic open hearth, $24.41. The paper analyzing the statement says that acid open hearth steel is selling at $55 per ton. The cost of reduction to be $26.9$. But to be just it is necessary to enumerate the ex-pense attached to rolling & ton of acid open hearth into plate and also the cost in the slabbing mill, and the total cost of one ton is reached at $41, giving Carnegie a profit per ton of $14 exactly. The figures of the tasic open hearth show that a ton would net profit something like $16. Since December. 1889, the minimum basis has been dropped from $30 per ton to $25. The reduction in all departments was accepted and the cost of labor made much lower. President Wcihe of the Amalgamated as-sociation, being shown the figures, said they were certainly strong evidence, and had they been m possession of the men at Home-stead while the investigating committee was here they would have made strong argu- ments.

The "Northwestern Financier" Thinks the Strike an Important One Clearings on the Increase Bosiness Briefs. The following letter from Hon. John T. Caine to Secretary Sears speaks for itself: When the Interstate Commerce commission received that talegraUi from prominent merchauU of Salt Lake City re-questing a ninety-day- s postponement of the hearing of the case instituted by the cham-ber of commerce against certain railroads, they sent it to me by one of their secretaries to see if I had any suggestions to submit in the premises. I requested them to telegraph the dispatch back to you, and ask your opin-ion in regard to the postponement. The commissioners could not see their way clear to proceed with the full hearing of the case when the defendaut, backed by so many of the leading importers in interest, were ask- - ing for a continuance, and so, in justice to, parties, the hearing of the case was post-poned. With kiud regards. John T. Caine. This letter shows very clearly that the action of the shippers who signed the peti-tion for postponement gave the commission-ers the impression that the action of tie chamber of commerce was not sustained by the Salt Lake merchants, than which nothing could be more disastrous to the cause. MURDER IS CHARGED Leaders of the Recant Homestead Troubles to be Arrested on Specifio Charges of Murder. INFORMATION FILED TODAY The Mechanical Committee Calls Upon Superintendent Potter and all bat One Member Refused a Hearing. Conference of Strikers Galled for 4 O'clock this Afternoon to Discuss the Situation. ' CARNEGIE STANDS FIRM. Reported That Two of His Foremen Have Gone to Europe for Non-Uni- on Men. PittsbcrO, July IS. This afternoon in-formation was lodged before the city alder-men charging murder against Hugh O'Don-nel- l, the principal labor leader of the Home- - stead riots; John McLuckie, Burgess of Homestead; Sylvester Critehlow, Anthony Flaherty, Samuel Birket, James Flannegan, Hugh Ross, all labor leaders in the recent Homestead troubles. They are specifically charged with the murder of T. J. Connors and Silas Wayne, Pinkertons, killed in the fight. All the accused will probably be ar-rested this afternoon except O'Donnell, who is out of the city. The information was made by Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie company, that con-stables left at on;e for Homestead and are now looking for the men. The news cre-ated much excitement among the strikers as the action was not yet expected. GONE TO LABOR WITH BELGIANS. Leaders of the Strikers Mysteriously Leave for the East. Pittsburg, July 18. David Lester, of the military, while drunk this morning ran a bayonet into Frank C. Calhoun, inflicting a wound which will prove fatal. A dozen of the best educated, and most conservative of the locked out men at Home-stead left for the east this morning with great secrecy. It is believed they have gone to labor with the lot of Belgians said to be on the way to take the places of the old men. The Amalgamated Lodge of Workmen at Carnegie's Union mills met this morning and resolved to stand firm in the strike and tendered the Homestead men both financial and physical assistance. KEPT THEIR THREAT. Beaver Falls Workmen Refuse to Go to Work and the Mills Are Idle. PiTTSBURO, July 18.

The Xorthwestern "Financier" on the Gas Company's Artesian Well. Under the headiug, "A Great Gusher, the Largest Artesian Well in the World," the last issue of the Xorthipettem Financier says: Since Noah's deluge there has not been known such an outpouring of water as that which came upon the earth from the subter-ranean caves uorthcast of the city of Salt Lake recently. The Salt Lake Natural Gas company at 900 feet from the surface struck the fountain of the great deep, aud a torrent of water ush-ered forth with terrific force, and so mighty was the stream that the workmen at the drill had to flee for their lives to avofd being swept away before the cataclysm. This unusual demonstration of aquatic na-ture is deluging the country northwest of the city for miles about and there seems no way to repress this artificial outlet to the subterranean flow. The company was sinking a well with a view to striiking a reservoir of natural gas, but instead they met the bursting stream of an earth-foun- d ocean that shot high into the air a volume of water, the capacity of which is beyond calculation; no such 6tream of water has ever before been discovered in this part of the country. The discovery settles the fact that there is an abundance of water underlying the en-tire valley foi irrigating purposes." Business Briefs. T. G. Webber, the superintendent of Z.C. M.L, has gone east ou business. Moses Peterson, tne leading merchant of the San Juan country, is in town. Mr. Fyler or the Walker Bros. & Fyler company, left for the east today ou a busi-ness trip. GONE TO ENGLAND FOR SCABS. One of the Curtent Reports at Homestead Today. Homestead, July 18. Two brothers, named McConncll, Englishmen, who worked as foremen in the Homestead mill, fcave not been 6een for thr je weeks, and the locked-ou- t men believe tbey havt gone to England to engaare non-unio- n men to take their places in the mills. One of the Carnegie forraen was spoken to about the matter. He treated it with ridicule, 6aying there were plenty of non-unio- n men in this coun-try, and that wort; would te started by this afternoon. The tension between strikers and the mil-itary ia increasing. There are many irre-sponsible and reckless men in town, mostly with some sort of armi and any untoward event might precipitate a conflict. The military, while not expecting such an out-come, evidently ia preparing for it. Large additional amounts of ammunition have been received from Frankfort. Thers are'at least 25,000 rounds of ammunition here and 50,000 rounds more are expectci. Another regiment was brought over the river this morning, aud it is understood that three others, will be brought ovw day by day.- All is quiet at the big mills and there is no visible evidence of an intention to start them np today. Amalgamated officials here say thev know nothing of a paper asking for aid, which is said to be circulated in New York, ud pro-nounce it a fraud. Railroad men deny the truth of the rumor that they will refuse to handle freight for the Homestead mill. STRIKING AT THE DETECTIVES. A Bill to Prohibit Armed Forces from En-tering Another State.

Yesterday's meeting of the employees of Caanegie's non-union works at Duquesne did nothintr of a sensational character. The meeting was ad-dressed by a number of Homestead and other Carnegie employes. It is stated that some 160 men present signified their intention of joining the Amalgamated association at once. Burgess McLuckie said at the meet-ing that all men at Duquesne would be in the ranks of the association inside of a week, and considerable eunosity was aroased by the departure of Hugh O'Donnell on a fast line east. He refused positively to give his destination or mission. George W. Runner, a stool worker wounded in the riot July 6, died yesterday, as did Ed-ward Speer, a Pinkerton man of Chicago. This makes eleven deaths resulting from the riot. THE LIBERAL CONFERENCE. Extensive Preparations Being Made and Nearly 5000 Tickets Already Issued.

Get a jineling, jangling tune, a danseuse and a buffoon and an orchestra that mur-ders all it plays. And a chorus of a glory that is all antique and boary, and you'll soon set up a show that really pays. Get a heroine that's pretty, and steal what you think's witty from every blessed opera that's known You need not feel compunctions, for in get-ting up these functions a conscience is a thing one shouldn't own. Let there, be a fleshly Sally of a sprightly corps de ballet that used to win applause in ancient Rome. Get some puns that are so fearful they'll make people weak and tearful, till they have to be removed and taken home. Then get a man half witted, who is really to be Ditied, and style him "a comedian" on the" bill; And write some love songs stupid, dragging in poor luckless Cupid, and buy a lot of costumes "lit to kill." When the structure is completed and the audience is seated, you'll sit back and count the shekels at the door. You'll know iu your inmost spirit many folks will come to hear it, and after, every num-ber yell for more. -- Chicago Xewx-Rtxor- Baptists Adjourn. Detroit, July 18.
