The Arrest of Two of Carnegie's Employes Almost Causes a Riot. Homestead, Pa., Aug. 4. The arrest of Yardmaster James Dovey and Superintendent Superinten-dent MeConnell of. the open hearth department depart-ment on a charge of murder yesterday afternoon was attended by turbulent scenes, necessitating the interference of the militia and the additional arrest of a striker. When Constables Stewart and Geoher reached Homestead with four warrants, two for the above Carnegie officials aud the others for Superintendent Potter and George A. Forey, rumors of the prospective arrests spread through the town, and hundreds of locked-out locked-out and striking men gathered at the different differ-ent stations. At Marshall the crowd numbered num-bered two hundred. The trains on which the constables and prisoners were to be taken to Pittsburg was a few minutes late, and when the constables and prisoners arrived ar-rived at the depot the crowd surged around the station door as the prisoners were hurried into it. The patrel of militia strove to keep the men liack, but the force was unequal to the task. Every minute the crowd increased, while they uttered threats especially directed nginst Dovey. As the time passed the crowd became mere turbulent, and word was hastily hasti-ly sent for a company of the Fifteenth regi-Ment, regi-Ment, On their arrival at the depot the soldiers pushed back the crowd, which returned in a surly way. One striker named Thomas Bowen became obstreperous, and yelled, "Three cheers for Dovey, damn him." Before Be-fore the crowd could reach them the soldiers hastily steized Bowen. He was hustled into the station and placed in charge of two deputies. dep-uties. This stern measure que led the hostile hos-tile demonstration. Bowen will be charged with unlawful assemblage and disorderly conduct, and probably with inciting to riot. The turbulent demonstration has convinced con-vinced General Wyle that it would bo useless use-less to remove the militia from Homestead at present. |
