H. C. FRICK SHOT. The Carnegie Manager the Victim of an Anarchist’s G-un. Intense Exc itement Caused by the CrimeFull Details—The Situation at Homestead. Mr. H. C. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, was shot at 1:45 o clock on the 23d, at Homestead, by Alexander Burgman, aged twenty-one, a printer by trade, who says ho lives on Forty-second street, New York. Ho is a Russian Jew. Four bullets were fired, •diree taking effect. The assassin then used a knife, inflicting one wound with it. All morning a man of medium height had been calling at Mr. Frick’s office. He stated his business was of a private nature. Mr. Frick was too busy to sea callers, but finally the man gained admission. No one excepting Mr. Frick and the stranger were In the office at the time. The first bullet entered Mr. Frick’s neck, the other two lodged in the back. Dr. Litchfield says that he cannot tell whether the wounds are fatal. Evidently some words were exchanged between Mr. Frick and the stranger, and as the pistol was displayed Mr. Frick

H. C. FRICK. '

turned around the table. This Is why all the shots took effect in the back and back of the neck. David Fortney, the young man who operates the elevator,says that the wouldbe assassin has been in and about the building for six days. Six or eight times he has taken the man up in the elevators. Each time he asked to see Mr. Bosworth, of the Frick company. Fortney says he neyer liked the looks of the man, whom he describes as a Hebrew, with a mean, sneaking look. The shooting was done with a Hopkins & Allen thirty eight-caliber revolver. Four chambers of it are empty. Burgman said he was a Russian Jew, and had been in this country four years. He came here from New York only a few days ago. Ho worked, so he said, for the Singer Machine Company. While here ho stopped at the Merchants’ hotel. “What did yon do this for?” asked inspector McKelvy, of the prison. “I guess you know,” was the answer. The excitement over the shooting is intense. The nows spread like wild fire,and in a few minutes Fifth avenue, in the vicinity of the Carnegie offices, which are located in the same building as the Associated Press offices, was thronged with an excited crowd. The building was quickly closed and officers stationed at the entrance to prevent the passage of any one. Indignation was generally expressed at the cowardly crime, and the perpetrator, was denounced on all sider and by all classes. As he was escorted to the station a large crowd followed, shouting: “Shoot him!” “Hang him!” etc. Burgman was quickly taken to tho central station and locked up. At first he refused to give his name, but afterward admitted that it was Burgman, and that he came from New York. It Is believed that he is an anarchist. Ex-Sheriff Gray was on the stand when the news reached the court room that Mr. Frick had been shot throe times in his office, and the news caused great excitement. Mr. O’Donnell was evidently greatly shocked and said: “Ob. that is terrible!” He was deeply and visibly affected and it was with the greatest effort that he could control himself. A dispatch from Homestead says; The report of the shooting of Chairman Prick spread like wildfire here. Persons are crowding the bulletin boards in front of the telegraph offices. The loaders deplore it, but many of the strikers are saying: "Served him right. Wish ho was dead,” etc. The militia is ready to suppress any outbreak. When Burgman arrived at the central police station he presented a most desperate appearance, and looked and acted the anarchist he is said to be. His curly hair seemed to be standing on end and his sallow complexion was bleached to ashen whiteness. He was covered from head to iSfot with blood and was very much excited, but seemed proud of his deed. Two physicians were in constant attondmce on Mr, Frick after the shooting. The surgeons extracted the bullet and after full examination gave it as their opinion that he would recover if blood poisoning did not ocqur. Mr. Frick acted very bravely, and by closing in on the assassin prevented not only the killing of himself but of Mr. Leishman, his assistant. and of the clerk who had come to his assistance. He is able to continue the direction of all the movements of the mills as in the past. ftargman, the would-be-murderer,shows

no contrition for his crime. He gloats over tjie attempt he made and says Frick ought to die. He is sane, but an anarch ist of the most radical type. After being placed in the cell it was discovered that he had two dynamite bombs in his mouth and intended to commit suicide by exploding them is his mouth, but the caps ieemed defective and would not explode. Before they could be taken from him he had to be choked until he was black in the face. DBUMED FROM THE CAMP. Private Ijams, of K. Company, Tenth Regiment, shouted yesterday afternoon whoa the report of the attempted assassination of Mr. Frick reached the provisional brigade for three cheers for the assassin. Colonel Stroetor, from his quarters. beard the incendiary shout. He hurried into camp, and ordered the regiment to be paraded in double quick time. When his command was drawn up be recited to the soldiers the report he had heard. “I heard the voice distinctly,” the Colonel said. ‘T think 1 recognized it, and I want the man who made the statement to advance two paces.” The Colonel had recognized Ijam’s voice, and he was standing directly in front of the accused when he was talking. Immediately private Ijams boldly stepped to the front •‘You offered three cheers for the killing of Mr. Frick, did you not?” the Colonel asked, Ijams nodded in the affirmative and was ordered to the guard house. The colons and his staff, including the surgeons, then went to the guard house. The officer ol the day took charge of the criminal, and at the Colonel’s orders he was hung up by the thumbs for thirty minutes. The surgeons remained with the unfortunate during all his punishment; one of them kept watch on his pulse while another looked after his heart, and at the end of thirty minutes Surgeon Neff ordered him taken down. When released Ijams was limp and apparently unconscious. The surgeons remained with him an hour, when he was taken to his quarters. The severity of Ijam’s punishment was due to his refusal to take back or apologize for the expression. To-day one side of his head was shaved and the buttons cut from his uniform, of which he was then stripped. He was given a suit of cast off plain clothing, part being a pair of overalls, and was ut once drummed out of camp. The proceedings were aproved by General Snowden. Ijams lives at Waynesburg. NOTES OF THE STRIKE. The 730 men employed in the Duquesno mills have quit work and declare they will not resume until the Homestead matter shall have been settled and the Amalgamated Association recognized. The mill until a few weeks ago had been non-union but at that time the Amalgamated Association had organized a lodge, and the strike is backed by that organization. A dark and most threatened story is in circulation, which causes much adverse comment, though denied by the advisory committee. Several engineers on freight trains over the Monongaheia division o* the Pittsburg. McKeesport it Youghloghenry railroad have been approached and warned by parties unknown that if they carried a pound of steel out of the Manhall yards they would be shot. The engineers have been requested to furnish descriptions of the men convoying the throat and promised that arrests will be made. The soldiers have been supplanted in the police control of Homestead and special deputy sheriffs given their authority. The military will bo subject to the orders of the sheriffs, and will be called into service whenever needed. Except on call of the sheriff’s representatives the militia in Homestead are to restrict their operations to looking after their own members, such, for instance, as apprehending absconders from the ranks, if any, and enforcing an order issued prohibiting the national guard from entering saloons.
