Warrants Sworn Out Against the Leaders of tho HoincMtead Strike. E A special from Homestead, dated the K 19th Inst., says: Not since the night when Governor Pattison ordered tho State troops to Homestead was tho borough thrown into such a state of feverish excitement as it was this evening when E ■ the nows went abroad that warrants, charging the leaders of the strike with Wilful murder, had been issued In Pittaburgh and that, six or seven charged, had given themselves up to tho authorities. About 4. p. m. two men walked I into the office of 'Squire Kuhns, a local magistrate, and made inquiries of the places of residence of Burgess McLuckie and other leaders. They refused to tell why they desired the information. The inquiries were continued at other places and suspicion as to the real character of their business became aroused when they were recognized as Constables Price.and £ Jiwln. The suspicion was not verified, however,, until about 4 o’clock, when H. M- Williamson, a member of the Home--1 stead borough council and also a member of the local advisory committee on the strike, arrived in Homestead from Pittsburgh with the information that warrants had been issued. That news soon became noised about. AVhile a suspicion that arrests were anticipated ~ bad been prevalent for two days, it was not supposed the charge against the leaders would be so serious a one as murder and the workingmen were thrown into a state bordering on consternation by the direful news. Atk meeting of the advisory committee to-night it was decided to swear out warrants against H. C. Frick, Secretary Lovejoy, Superintendent John Poms, Yardmaster Davey and Superintendent Potter, as the men who were to blame for the riot, the charges being murder and treason. - Crash on the Grand Trunk. Merritton (Ont.) special: One of the , worst railway accidents that ever happened in this vicinity occurred the other day. The mail train on the Welland division of the Grand Trunk railroad from Port Dalhoirsie, bound south, and the accommodation train from Niagara Falls, bound north to connect with the Steamer Empress of India, met in a collision a short distance north of this Station at a particularly bad point A short wooden bridge crosses the waterpower raceway and the engine of thp boat train had just crossed it when the trains met and the two leading coaches on the boat train were thrown from the track over the bank, plunging into the race. The engine was demolished and thrown over the opposite bank. Efforts were at once made to remove the killed and injured. Three bodies have so far been recovered. Seven were injured > seriously. Intestinal War Among the Arabs. « London special: Advices from the Ingiers state that a sanguinary battle recently occurred between the followers of , the Arab chiefs, of the Kabyle tribe.

It is not known when they K . came from. • * • I Freren In Sweltering Weather. I | Miss Lena Wltterman, the village I belle, at Grove City, Ohio, narrowly I ’ escaped a most peculiar death recently. K Sh(! is the daughter of Fred Wltterman, I F'* grocer and butcher. She had been ißySerintUgreatly with the heat, and cotiI s celved aijhvel plan to cool off. herTather’s refrigerator she went in If and tightly closed the door after her. I The young lady was perspiring when she |k entered the refrigerator, but experienced K A lightning change, for the atmos|t phere inside was fifty degrees lower Sgjfhktl without. The effect I k upon her circulation and resl|; Juration was instantaneous. She fell un-

conscious to the floor before she could leave the Ice-chest, which came near being her tomb, for It was sometime before her prostrate form was discovered. Two physicians were summoned, and It was with groat difficulty that they saved her life. It was necessary to perform an operation before she was out of danger. Tho pain of such an experience Is said to be tho most agonizing thing a person can suffer and yet live. .i STRUCK A GAS-PII‘E. In »n Instant Hie Entire Boat Was Ablase. While the tow-boat Jim Wood was passing near tho Beaver Home, a few miles above East Liverpool. Ohio, bound .up. she struck and broke a natural gas main which crosses tho river at that point. In an instant the escaping gas camo in contact with the fires in tho furnace and a terrific explosion occurred, setting tho boat on fire. By almost superhuman exertions tho crew extinguished the flames. An investigation showed that tho engineer had been literally roasted at his post and a colored* roustabout blown nearly tho entire length of the boat, receiving such injuries that he died within an hour. A peculiarity of the mishap was developed by the gas, which continued to escape after tho Mood bad floated away from the scene. As the gas bubbled up through the water it became ignited, forming widely spread bits of flame, which rendered it dangerous for another boat to attempt a passage of the scene. In consequence the steamer Iron Queen and other boats were compelled to tie up. awaiting the stoppage of the escaping gas. CHOLERA. Moscow’s Prayers to God to Stay the Awful Scourge. London special: The epidemic of cholera is not of so highly an infectious character as former outbreaks. Very few persons are attacked in the proportion to the population, but the disease is quick y fatal. The disease is raging with- extreme virulance among the workingmen of Tsaritsln, where many of them have died three hours after they were attacked. Riots similar to those that have occurred at Astrakhan are feared at Titles, where the butchers are excited over the. decision of the authorities to destroy the old abbattoirs and build new ones. The religious communities in Moscow are organizing processions to appeal to God to stay the scourge. .Springfield. Ohio, Swept by a Cyclone. A severe wind storm, coming from the southwest, struck Springfield, Ohio, and almost destroyed the south end of the town. a Two hundred houses were either blown to pieces or badly wrecked, and the streets are full of faßen trees, telegraph poles and debris of all kinds. That dozens of people were not instantly killed is considered miraculous. A number were seriously injured among them being Mrs. Jacob Leech, and her five children, Jacob Neff, Mrs. Mary Espenbrenner. J. H. Roberts and James Hinkle. Some of them may not recover. The loss of property is estimated at 8200,000. Four Killed. Part of a freight train on the Ontario and Western Railroad struck a wagon containing ten persons at Middletown, N. Y., killing four of its occupants and injuring three others. The driver, when near the crossing, saw the engine and train, as he supposed, pass. Just as his horses had passed safely over the tracks he saw several cars bearing down towards them on a heavy down grade. They proved to be part of the train which had but a few minutes previously passed, and which had broken from the forward part The wagon was struck squarely in the center, kilflng'the four who were seated on the two rear seats. The Fair to Be Closed on Sunday. The Senate has finally disposed of the Chicago Exposition provisions of the Sundry Civil bill. Mr. Quay's amendment to close the Exposition on the “first day of the week” called “Sunday.” was adopted without a division after amotion to table it had been defeated by a vote of 4to 1. A further amendment by Mr. Peffer to prohibit the sale ot all intoxicants in the Exposition grounds, except for “medical, mechanical or scientific purposes.” was adopted by a majority of two. With these conditions attached, the Senate voted to issue to the World’s Fair managers 10,000 souvenir silver half dollars. Drowned in Lake Erie. The steamer Cumberland which has arrived at Ashtabula, -brought a young man named Adolph P. Lazer, who was picked up from an overturned boat three miles from the Canadian shore the other night. He says he and his brother went boat riding with two young women from New York who were camping near Kingsville, Canada. They were caught by a gale, the boat overturned, and his brother and two girls were drowned. Lazer reLuses to give the names of the young women as he wishes to be the first to break the news to their parents. A Terrible Fate. Denver special: Wm.

Berlin special: At Linden, a suburb of Hanover, some workmen jeered a passing squad of recruits, whereupon the sergeant in command ordered tho soldiers to charge with fixed bayonets. The order was obeyed and in the charge and the panic that it caused among the crowd many persons were seriously injured. Store Severe Than at First Reported. The storm at Cincinnati proves to be far more disastrous than first supposed. Damage was done in every part of the city and a score of houses unroofed. The proprietor of Ward's foundry had his skull crushed,bv a falling brick and, a dozen other persons were injured. The property damaged will be large. Killed by the Cars. A north bound local on the Chicago and Indiana Coal road ran into a buggv near Rob Roy, Ind. Mrs. Samuel Brier, aged 30 years, was instantly killed.

Final Adjournment of Congress. Speculation as to the final adjournment of Congress still continues to fix the date at July 25, and though every effort is being brought to bear, to gather in the loose ends of of the older members are inclined to the belief that it may be a few days later. Two Boys Drowned Near Hammond# James Morris and Henry Newman, aged 9 and 15 years respectively, were drowned at Hammond, Ind., while bathing. The two deaths occurred within an hour. Newman was drowned in Wolf Lake, and Morris in Calumet river. To Arbitrate the Behring Sea Question.

WAR IN THE WEST. AN IDAHO COUNTY UNDER MARTIAL LAW. ths Union Man Threaten to Blow Up the Minoa When the Troop* Arrlve-Blooily Conflict ProlrnU* lu tho Valley—Bushing In Soldiers. They Know No Law. i A Boise City (Idaho) dispatch says: Gov. Willey has Issued a proclamation placing Shoshone County under martini law. Word has been received that throe companies of Federal troops from Missoula have arrived at Mullan. Tho other troops have not been heard from. Adjt. Gon. Curtis, who is In command for tho State and who went to C<vur d’Alene In advance of the outbreak, has not been heard from and it is feared that ho has fallen into the hands of tho strikers. A dispatch to tho Governor from Judge Heyburn at Spokane says that union men drove 132 non-union miners out, firing on them and killing two. At Portland, Ore., the Union Pacific Company has received word from Cceur d’Alene that the Northern Pacific railroad bridge, together with several hundred feet of track, was blown up. by s?rlkers west of Mullan. The company is preparing to take all non-union men out of tho mines to Tekoa. The union men assert that the moment troops appear on tho scene they will blow up Bunker Hill, Sullivan, Sierra Nexada and Gem mines. The burning of the bridge near Mullan will hold troops there, unless they march on foot to Wallace and Wardner, a distance of about ten miles. It is now reported that the union men have taken Van B. Delashnutt of Portland, William Sweeny and other mine owners and will hold them as hostages until the trouble is settled. It is reported that the telegraph wires to Wardner have been cut. Superintendent Dickinson of the Northern Pacific telegraphed the Governor from Tacoma that their tracks and bridges have been destroyed in the vicinity of Mullan and Wallace, and that wires have been out. They will hold the county responsible. Another message to the Governor says that several non-union men have been blown up and that tho union men propose to fight the troops to the death. A special train over the Union Pacific left Portland, bearing 200 troops of the Fourteenth Infantry from Van Couver, Washington, for Caur d’Alene mines. A special train over the Union Pacific arrived at Pendleton, bearing troops from Idaho. Two companies have left Fort Sherman for the scene of the trouble. In all about 700 United States troops and militia are on their way to the mines. Gen. Schofield has ordered as additional troops to the Coeur d’Alene district four companies of .infantry from Fort Spokane, Washington, a troop of cavalry and six companies of infantry from Vancouver barracks, Washington. These troops, with those previously ordered from Fort Sherman and Fort Missoula, will give Col. Cartin an active force of nearly 800 men. WILL CLOSE SUNDAY. The Senate Taken Decisive Action in the Matter. The United Senate, by a vote of 51 to 14, has approved the $5,000,000 appropriation in aid of the World’s Fair. Attached to the appropriation is the following important proviso: “That the appropriation provided in this act shall be upon condition that the said World’s Columbian Exposition shall be closed on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday.” Another condition of equal importance has been attached, although it is likely to be struck out on a reconsideration. It is as follows: “Provided the sale of intoxicating liquor on the Exposition grounds shall be prohibited, except for medical, botanical, or scientific purposes. ” The final contest on the World’s Fair items came up in the Senate Wednesday afternoon as the climax to the three successive days of debate which have been given the subject. Through a fiction of the Senate the bill was not before the Senate itself, but before the “committee of the whole” for preliminary revision and amendments. It was in this committee of the whole that the important action was taken, so that there is still opportunity for change when the committee of the whole reports to the full Senate The votes were so decisive, however, that there is no possibility of change upon the $5,000,000 appropriation or upon the Sunday question. According to a Washington dispatch, there is a certainty that an effort will be made to strike out the liquor prohibition, and, as this was passed by only two majority, the prospects are that the prohibition will be eliminated. The two Illinois Senators who voted for the liquor prohibition have determined to change their votes, which is sufficient to change the narrow majority which was given on the first vote. Too Haftty. Doctor Brunton, in an address lately reported in the London Lancet, was cautioning his hearers—the members of a medical society—against hastily expressed opinions as to the nature of patients’ diseases, and emphasized his warning by two professional anecdotes. He was once present at a clinic, the subject of which was a man evidently suffering from some disease of the heart. An unnatural murmuring sound could be heard from that organ, and the pupil of one of his eyes was very much dilated. The peculiar appearance of the eye seemed to .have some connection with the cardiac affection, but various opinions were expressed by the different students as to what the precise nature this relation could be. The discussion was just becoming interesting when the patient remarked that his strange-looking eye was made of glass! At another clinic the professor in charge was discussing learnedly about the importanceof attending to minor symptoms. “Now gentlemen,he said, “in the case of this woman here, certain things should be confidently affirmed from the condition of her teeth.” He was proceeding to particularize, but just then the patient broke in upon him. “Please, sir,’’ she said, as she took out her teeth, “I will hand them round; the young gentlemen might like to look at them closer.” Femininities. We hear of men sowing wild Oats, but who ever heard of a woman sewing Anything but tares, ? - ■ Miss Tompkins says that every unmarried lady of forty has passed the Cape of Good Hope. An Indiana woman claims to have worn a corset for seventy years. A rather protracted stay. ~ .. Glynn County, Ga.; has a woman hermit who has only spoken to three persons in eixteen years.

SANK WITH THE FOISOM OVER A SCORE LOST IN THE PEORIA DISASTER. Many Person* Yet Unaccounted For Be* lieved to Do In the Cabin of the Overturned Boat—Story ot the Accident — The Storm Came Up with Awful Rapidity. Found Watery Grave*. Twelve bodies have already been recovered from the wrecked steamer Frankie Folsom, and sixteen persons are yet to hear from, telegraphs a Peoria, 111., correspondent. The bodies of the following named persons are recovered: Tho Rev. J. H. McMe< n, Benson; Mrs. Fred Fisher; Cora Fisher; John H. Arends, Pekin; Mary Flatt, Pekin; Mrs. Henry Dulsdeoker, Pekin; Mrs. W. G. Willis, Pekin; Miss Lottie Shade, Shelbyville; Miss Lottie Rutltfr, Pekin; Mrs. Kate Beebe, Pekin; Grant Heppler, Streator; unknown body of a young girl. Divers who were sent down near the wreck reported seeing four bodies crushed under the wreckage. Those cannot bo gotten at until the boat is righted. Nearly the whole excursion party was composed of the better class of the population of Pekin and Delavan. Never since the Chatsworth disaster has there been any such excitement hero. Tho storm burst with remarkable “suddenness. Above tho roar of the wind and thunder the cries of the passengers on the Folsom, as they clung to spars, guards, and pieces of furniture, could plainly be heard, while at each succeeding flash of lightning tho wreck could be seen by thousands who lined tho river bank in the face of the drenching rain. The etonn did not last long. It blew up with rapidity little short of marvelous, and as quickly subsided. The rain continued, but the danger was over, and soon more than a score of rowboats were slowly bringing passengers to the shore. Everything possible was done by the citizens and officials. Patrol wagons, ambulances, and nearly the entire police force were ordered out to assist in caring for the rescued. Miss Heppler, of Streator,was rescued in an insensible condition and removed to a house. It is impossible to tell whether she will recover or not. James Thomas is in the hospital. A swinging timber struck him, terribly crushing a leg. The search for bodies was prosecuted all night. Mrs. Kate ot Pekin, is known to have been lost. She was on deck at the time of the accident and must have been washed overooard. Her father, Fred Zuokweiler, was dragged out of the water as he was going down the last time. No trace of the daughter has since been found, and all thoughts of finding her alive havt been abandoned. John Smith has not been seen since the accident, and he too must have perished. Immediately on the approach of the stofih women took refuge in the cabin, a small room, closed the doors and shut the windows. When the boat capsized they were as if in a prison with no means of egress. Wm Returning trom Lake View Pork. The steamer was returning from Lake View Park, where a spectacular preduction of the “Last Days ot Pompeii” had been given. The crew numbered five. The evening had been pleasant, but during the latter part of the performance there were mutterings of a storm. It burst suddenly with great violence when the boat had gotten out in the middle of the river. Edward Loesch, the captain, was in the pilot house when the storm struck. He attempted to head the boat for the shore, and as he did so the wind caught it and capsized it. Most of those who were on deck rushed tb the upper side, and were in this way saved. Capt Loesch helped all he could to put on life preservers.. He pulled up two women who were struggling out of the cabin. When the beat began to sink a whistle was sent up for aid, but in a few moments the boilers were under water, word was sent to the police station and Mayor Warner ordered out at once all the policemen, the patrol wagon, and ambulance. The Folsom lay about 100 yards from shore in sixteen feet oi water, and was about two-thirds under water careened over on the side. There was not an available tug in the city. The Longfellow, which was struggling near the Folsom, made a landing ae soon as she could, and hurried her passengers ashore. It was the intention to go to the aid of the sinking boat, bul the wheel got caught in some manner, and great difficulty was experienced in getting away. Meanwhile numerous small boats were put out, although the rough condition of the river rendered the mission .very perilous. Rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew in fierce gusts. All of the steamer above water was covered by half-drowned passengers clinging to the upper deck, one side of which showed just above the surface. When the first relief boat appeared, men and women leaped from the steamer and swam to the boat. So many attempted this that they had to be driven back with oars in order to keep the little boats from being swamped. Four persons were broughtpoff in the first boat, and after this the work of rescue went on rapidly. Mayor Warner had ordered out a number of haclft, and as fast as the people were brought off the steamei they were placed in hacks and driven to places of shelter. The river is being dragged for the bodies of those that are still missing. . Omaha and the Crow. There is probably no city in the United States where the common wild crow makes himself as much at home as in Omaha. Here they are as common almost as English sparrows or tame pigeons, and evince about as little fear of man. All through the winter months, especially when the ground is covered with snow, this beautiful and intelligent but very mischievous bird is a common sight on our by-streets and lanes, and often in the very dooryards in the center of the city. They seem absolutely without fear of man or boy, and when busily engaged in the enjoyment of a meal can be approached within a few yards before they will take Wing. This is all very strange to people who have lived in the Eastern States, where the crow is considered the shyest and most wary of all wild birds. Just now they are at their thickest in and about Omaha, and great flocks can be seen every morning and evening flying over the city. In the evening their line of flight is from the south and southwest to the north and northeast. In the morning they traverse the same flight back again. For years and years the birds have roostad In the forest of low willows east and north of Cut Off Island, and when the sable hosts are congregating thither in the shades of evening the spectacle Is a wonderful one.. ftma-. ha’s escutcheon would certainly be incomplete without the graven image ot the cunning and industrious crow upon It.—Omaha Bee. A thief arrested down In Georgia now turns out to be a detective. He probably wanted to test the axiom that ti takes a thief to catch a thief

Another condition la as follows: “Provided the Rale of Intoxicating liquor on the Exposition grounds shall be prohibited, except for medical, botanical, or *clentlflc purposes.” World’s Fair legislation Is again the property ot the House. The Senate, on the 14th. passed tho Sundry Civil bill with various amendments relating to the Exposition. Sunday closing Is made ironclad, but former action in prohibiting the sale ot liquors on the grounds is reverced and that matter left entirely to tho Exposition management As the sundry civil bill came from the House It merely appropriated tho remainder of the $1,500,000 provided for in the bill of the Fifty-first Congress for the running expenses of tho Government exhibit and the National Commission, with a proviso that the Governmentexhibltshould bo closed Sunday. The Senate Increased the amounts for these purposes by $500,000 and added the new propositions for souvenir coins and for payment of awards, making the total increase over the House in the neighborhood of $6,200,000. It also mad* the Sunday closing apply to the entire Exposition. The House was occupied In minor business. On tho 15th the field of operation of the World’s Fair bill was removed from the Senate to tho House, and the final termination of the controversy was brought In sight by an agreement of unanimous consent that a vote should be taken at 12 o'clock op the 19th on all the World's Fair propositions, Including tho $5,000,000 appropriation, the Sunday question, the liquor prohibition, and other amendments which may be offered. This amounts to a vote of the previous question and cuts off tho chance of filibustering which some have believed would threaten tho bill during the last davs of tho session. At no time were there more than sixty or seventy members out of the total of 335on'the floor of the House, and by actual count there were just fifteen iflembers on the Republican side mid thirtysix on the Democratic at one time during tho debate. On the 10th the House resumed consideration of the World’s Fair appropriation bill Many five and ten minute speeches were made, some favoring and some opposing an appropriation. Tho chief points of difference, however, relate to Sunday closing. The session of the Senate was notable chiefly for an angry encounter between Senators Harris of Tennessee and Sanders of Montana No business of Importance was transacted. CROP REPORTS.

Dun <t Co.’b weekly review of trade says that crop reports promise results not equal to last year’s, which would be disastrous, but beyond expectations. With the decrease of only 6 per cent, the wheat yield would be far beyond the quantity consumed and exported in any year except tho last, and nearly equal to last year’s consumption and exports. The price dropped below 84 cents, but has since been stronger. Western receipts" are large, 1,800,000 bushels in three days, and exports 771,000 bushels In the same time. Corn acreage shows a decrease of 4.4 per cent., and tho price has dropped cents during the week. Oats have also declined two cents, while hog products are stronger, pork 25 cents per barrel, and coffee and oil unchanged. The cotton reports show condition only 2 per cent, below last year, and oh any estimate of acreage the yield, with the surplus still in sight, will more than meet all demand for the year.
