The Aceuamt.

The accused are: Chairman II. C. Frick, Sooretury P. T. F. Lovrjcy, Superintendent .1. A. Potter and U. A. Corey, an under superintendent at Homestead Vice Chairman J. O. A.

Friok will not ho arrested while he is confined to his homo, but the warrant will be served as soon as he appears on the st rent.

May Another Indictment.

It is probable that informations will be made later against the same persons for ronspiraey to depress the wages of workmen ami conspiracy to incite riot by bringing a force of armed mou to Homestead. The attorneys say the Fuits were held off on aoconnt of tho shooting of Mr. Frictf.

HOMESTEAD I'a.. Aup. 4.—Th« arrests of Yardmnstcr James Devojr and Superintendent Mcf'onncll. of open lioarth department No. 2, on the chargc of murder Wedne*ilay afternoon were attended hy turbulent scenes, nocessitatinpr interference of the militia and the additional arrest of a atrilcer. It was '2 o'clock when Constables Amos Stewart and Ginher reached Homestead with four warrants. two for the above Carnegie officials and the others for Supt. John O. Potter and George A. Forey. The last uumed hud g-one to Pittsburgh by the time the constables arrived. Messrs. Dovov and McConnell, however. were found at the mill and were taken to their residences where tho.r donned street suits. ln.tho meantime rumors of the prospective arrests spread through tho town and hundreds of locked-out and striking mill nion gathered at tho different Rtations. At Munliall the crowd numbered 200. The Pittsburgh, Virginia & Charleston traiR is due there -t 4:05. and nbout a minute before it was to come the constables and thoir prisoners appeared. This was a sig-nal for a greatshoutof exultation, and thu crowd surged around the station door as the prisoners wore hurried into It. A patrol of militia strove to keep back the men, and wer aided by a few deputy sheriffs. The train was twenty minutes late, however, and every minute the crowd increased, while muttered threats especially directed against Dovey were plainly to be heard. fuelled hy the Militia.

As the time passed the crowd became more turbulent and wnni was hastily sent to the provost marshal, Lieut. Col. Mechling. He dispatched at once Maj. Craw ford with a company of the Fifteenth regiment to the station. Those arrived jusl as the patrol was fixing bayonets to repel tlio people. The soldiers marched oompany front, pushing back the crowd. whioh retired in a surly way. One. striker named Thomas Bowen became obstreperous and yelled: "Three cheers for Dovey. Damn him." Before the crowd could give them Maj. Crawford signed to two soldiers, who hastily seized Ilowen. He had a penknife in his hand at the timo. He was hustled into the station and placed in charge of two deputies. This stern measure quelled tho hostile demonstration. On the arrival of the train Messrs. Dove.v and McConnell, with ltowcn also, were put on it. and in addition to constables and deputy sheriffs a detail of soldiers were put aboard to protect the mill bosses.

At City Farm anrl Homestead stations companies of militia were drawn up in line as the train passed and kept back the crowd. At the sight of the prisoners, however, the crowds cheered lustily. Bowen, the striker who was arrested, will be charged with unlawful assemblage and disorderly conduct, und probably with inciting to riot.

Striker* Disappointed.

The news that all the Carnegie officials were admitted to bail at once is a great disappointment to me people here, who hoped that they would be kept in jail for a night at least. The arrests apparently did not in the slightest interfere with the operations of the mills, while the turbulent demonstration of the afternoon has convinecd (Icn.

Verdict nl'tlifi Coroner'* -lurv.

PrrrsHi noii, Pa.. Aug. 4.—The coroner concluded his inquest on the seven strikers and the three 1'inkerton guards killed during the Homestead riots Wednesday afternoon. The returns in the cases of the seven strikers were the same. In the casa of Silas Wain the jury found that he had been killed by a missile from a cannon while in an ilawful assembly which was trying to prevent the landing of PinUerton guards sent to protect Carnegie's property. In the case of tho Pinkertons the jury found that T. J. Connors was fatally wounded while employed as a Pinkerton guard to guard the property of Carnegie. The shooting was done by a purty or parties unknown with felonious intent. The verdict recommends that the said unlawful assemblages be certified to the grand jury at the September session. No attempt was made by the jury in any of tho ten cases to designate the persons by whom the fatal shuts were tired.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.—After another exciting day of caucus and conference the world's fair people have becu induced to neccpt a compromise of S'J,500,000. But it remains to be seen whether even the compromise can be executed, for it is loaded with conditions and qualifications which mukc its success quite as doubtful as that of tho 000,000. As it is, the world's fair men are divided. Some of them—and perhaps the majority—believe that the bett has been made of a bad situation. Others, including Messrs. Muliann, of Chicago, O'Neill, of St.

Louis, and Messrs. Babbitt, English and several others, declare that tho world's fair forc.es have been led into a trap and that the thing to do is to ignore the compromise and tight the battle out on the original plan. Mr. Durborow also opposes the compromise, but is willing to accept it if it is the Ix^st that can be got.

Aureed to the Williams I'lan.

Early in the day the peace committee, made up of five members from the two antagonistic factions, resumed their efforts to find thoir way out of the deadlock. It was not until noon, however, that an agreement was reached, and even then Mr. Durborow stood out against it. The other nine united on the plan proposed by Mr. Williams, of Illinois. This was to cut the amount down to $2,600, 000 and to have tho world's fairoontost proceed separate from the sundry civil bill. This would allow the big sundry civil bill to be disposed of and yet insure a vote 'n the separate world's fair bill drawn by Mr. Durborow. The vote on the S'i.ftOU.OOO plan was to be taken before a o'clock next Saturday afternoon. lcmocrats

Meet in Caucus.

At o'clock a democratic eaucus was held ill the house to consider what should be done with the compromise report. There were about 140 democrats present at tho caucus. No sooner had Chairman Holmau rapped the meeting to order than many members began leaving the chamber, showing that a good-sized bolt was to occur. In all there w#r« about twenty world's fair men who declined to take any part in the caucus. It was noticeable also that the tilibusterers bolted the caucus, and thus 'saved themselves from being bound by its aotion.

The conference had an attendance of nearly 126 members after tho bolters had retired. The first subject considered was as to binding members to abide by tho determination of tho oaueus. This met with a spirited opposition. Judge Culberson finally secured the passage of a modified f4»n by which all meinbors present wore bound to carry out a programme of business agreed upon, but were not bound as to their vote for or against an appropriation. Then came the consideration

the compromise submitted

by the peace committee. There was no objection to for all the objeotlng element had quit the field. There was only a few minutos of debate and then the plan of the peacc committee was indorsed by a unanimous vote. 118CU9A«C1 the SltuHtlon.

The rest of the day was given over to speculation as to what the final outcome would be. Well-posted authorities differ widely as to the compromise. The majority of the democrats think that it breaks the deadlock arjd that there will be no further delay on the 3.,500,000. On the other hand, quite a number *f the democrats and of the republicans Insist that the compromise is a cowardly surrender to the filibusters, It is asserted that the world's fair has been "bunkoed" and that there is no more chance of getting the f2.500.000 than there is of getting the 85,000.000. The senator* who have been most friendly to the world's fair share in the uhngrin and criticism on the oompromiso.

DHtiffer Iu the Senate.

It should bo borne in mind that the 'surrender of $5,000,000 In the sundry civil bill makes it necessary to take up an entirely new measure, known as the Durborrow bill, which must not only pass the house but must also pass the senate. The mere fact that the senute passed tho world's fair item in the sundry civil bill by no means Insures the passage of the Durborow bill in the senate. One senator can readily talk the bill to death if he chooses, foist this late day in the session even the anti-option bill expired as a result of prolonged speeches. rurall* In the Way.

Altogether the .situation is regarded as very squally for the world's fair. The full amount has been surrendered, and the best that can be done is to secure £2.500,000. But even this half-loaf is still a long way off, with many parliamentary pitfalls before it. The filibusters are by no means muzxled, as their action in bolting the Caucus showed. Neither is it certain that the house on another direct vote will show a majority in favor of a world's fair appropriation. Finally the senators loel that they have not been sustained in their fight for the fair, and they are not disposed to remain here any longer. It cannot be denied that the friends of the world's fair feel greatly depressed at tho outlook.

A DAM HURSTS.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 4.—By the breaking of a dam at Page street, on the west side, at 8:45 o'clock Wednesday evening, three houses wore wreoked, two persons were killed and five seriously injured. When the dam broke the water rnsliod down Page street, between Woodbury streot and Brown avenue, with such force that houses were swept before it like straws, throe of them being shot over the bluff to the Kansas City railway truok below.

Two Lives l.ost.

Mrs. August Adams and her mother, Mrs. Horn, were crushed in thoir house. Tho Adams house was a brick one. Philip Blocker's house was swept away and StocUer cut out from among the rafters in a badly Injured condition. Philip Cregier's house was also wrecked and two members of his family wero seriously injurod.

In tho wreck of Mr. Adams' house he was severely injured, his legs and arms being broken. Charles ICling was injured, how seriously is not known. His house was carried away and demolished. His little son, Freddie, was found down the valley In his nightgown tangled up In a troo with his leg broken.

A Mlfflity Kush of Waters.

At the hour named people living in tho vicinity were startled by a peculiar hissing noise, followed by a sound like an explosion, then the noise of a mighty rush of wators. From the steep hillside came a torrent of water, sweeping everything before it with relentless force. Down tho bill it poured, over the brow of the lower bluff and down upon the level of the. Kansas City railroad tracks. In its sweep the water plowed a furrow through lots, yards and streets that impeded its progress and piled upon tho tracks at the foot of the hill a great mass of debris. In ten minutes the whole thing was over and the work of resoue begun. A general alarm of fire was sounded and all the ambulances and patrol wagons In the city were on the scene. Men, women and children were fished out of the debris and wrecks extending nearly half a mile.

Cnuftert by the Late fioiti!hur«t.

The accident was the result of the late cloudburst. Up on the hillside above Page street was a deep gully, the natural outlet of the water from the country abovo. A year ago Page street had been filled up across this gully, leaving a small oulvert to carry off the ordinary water. This culvert had long ago been choked up and the recent storm had filled the deep basin to the brim, making- a lake two ucres in extant and 46 feot deep. Two days ago the fill gave signs of giving way and a force of men were put to work te run the water off by siphon. On Monday there appeared a crack 3 Inches wide on the lower side of the fill, but there was no thought of immediate danger. Suddenly the till let go. and with a mighty rush the vast body of water swept down upon the low land below.
