ORLOWITZ AND I1ERGXIA5. a?retty Sure In New Haven that the Anarchist Was Among Them. New Haven, July G.-That Alexander Bergman, the would-bo assassin of If. C. Frisk, is none other than Orlowitz. otherrfte he count," for two months previous to May 1 subbing" on papers in New . Haven, is through yesterday's investigation regarded as a fact almost beyond question. During the period he did substitute "work on the Ledger, Register and News at different . timet Almost with one accord every newspaper man in the cUy turned their thdaahts to "the Count" after reading the meagre discription of htm. Aside from his striking appearance and manners tbe man would evoke a lasting remembrance. According to the secretary of the Typographical Union the -Count" deposited Jlis card, bearing the name of H. J. Orlowltz, about April iil. The fact that Bergman is an inveterate cigarette-smoker also tallies with Orlowitz exactly. Ilia quick, nervous manner and restless black eyes were very noticeable. While at work in the comoosinfrooxn, he occasioned numerous disputes and argumens by skillfully . .arranging rules of the "chapel" before the chairman. He made himself obnoxious to his brother compositors by his londmoutbed utterances on all labor matters, andfcaYO ample evidence of being an Anarchrst at heart. Often be was eqnelclied by bis fellows. He neer let remarks drop that' would establish his. antecedents, though he admitted that Oxiowitz was not bis correct name. THE IIOMESTEAD INQUEST. Farther Evidence on the Death of the Victims of the July 6 Itlot. Frrll t tbe Indianapolis JonrnaL PiTTSnCRG, July & Coroner McMowoll this afternoon resumed the inquest in the case of the ten victims of the Homestead riot of July & Much of the evidence taken was in the form of technical descriptions of the injuries, sustained by the victims, the testimony npon this point being given by Drs. Mager, Walker and Seyfer, of the Homeopathic Hospital. Captain O'Coons, a Homestead merchant, testified that the first firing came from the boats. He said that when bo was rushing down to the landing before the boat bAd reached the mill-yard O'Donnell overtook' him and begged him to help in ,trviDf to stop the men from landing without trouble. The other witnesses were William Mansfield, David Li neb, chairman of the police commission; tieorge Kumer. whose son was killed, and Deputy Sheriff Joseph H. Gray. The latter testitied that shots were tired at' t Little hill all he way down the river, nnd that the tirst firing camo from the mill men. i'be reetof the witnesses were about equally divided on this issue. The inquest will be resumed and finally concluded ou Tuesday next. . 11KADDOCK MKN WILL NOT STRIKE. The Homestead men have apparently abandoned all endeavors to bring the Braddock workers out on a strike. After four days of proselyting the leaders are somewhat (lisco"urged, and say that Draddofck seems determined to continue at work notwithstanding the combined pressure of the the Carnegie operatives. A member of the advisory committee ro-day said he bad been informed by beveral Amalgamated men who bad gone amoug the liraddock rneji that they had 'not forgotten the fruitless appeals for assistance they made to Homestead in 1&S7 and were disinclined to strike for sympathy. Several of the lovked-out men, although awarethat the leaders have given op theiiope of astrike at too Edgar Thorntun plant, are still hopeful of bringing them out. 'lhe intense heat has prostrated many of General Superintendent Potter's nonunion men, it is alleged by the Amalgamated scouta. At all events there is not the activity that was manifested around the mill yesterday, and no plate was rolled this morning. The withdrawal of soldiers from Homortead has commenced. Wildly euthnaiostic cheering to-day among tho hundreds of white tents on Shanty hill proclaimed the fact to the strikers in their homes at the foot of tho slope. The lucky boys in blue who. were the tirst ones to get marching orders were the members of the Eighth Kegiment. It is believed that the troops will gradually be removed until only two regiments remain. These two regiments will be held until there is no further danger of trouble. STRIKE f.S REFUSE TO TREAT. Qogh, O'Donneli May Resign as Chairniau Uecane Not Indorsed. Homestead, Pa., July SC. It is hkelv Hugh O'Donneli will resign the chairmanship of the advisory committee, if he has not already done so, and the indications are that the committee Is now casting nbont for a new leader. The break up was caused by the refusal of the committee to approve an almost unconditional surrender in the light on hand. Mr. O'Donneli expressed himself as anxious for a settlement, even if ho had to be sacrificed. He authorized two newspaper men F. D. "Madeira, of New York, and J. Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia to see Superintendent J'otter. and ascertain upon what terms tho old men could return to work. When they' bad executed the commission O'Donneli wan ted to bring them before the committee, but that body would not admit them. 1 bis rebuff undoubtedly will cause O'Donnell's resignation, as he said he would resign if hta colleagues did net indorse bis feontlments. The mediators called upon Superintendent i'otter and wanted to know upon what terms he would accept the old employes, lie said there was no vindictivenessiu their dealings with the men. but they would not take back certain objectionable strifemakers under any circumstances. No names were mentioned, but he said those against whom criminal charges had been preferred were among them. Even these might not be rejected if the informations against them proved incorrect. He further tated that the men would not be questioned about membership in any organization, but they would bo required to sign an ugreement as individuals fixing the scalenf wages as based on the $3-bilIet rate. There would bo no dealings with any association committees, except as provided in the agreement for a conimitteo of workmen and officials to meet quarterly and fix prices of billets. No men now in tho employ would bo discharged if the work was satisfactory. The mediators were assured that tho places were being tilled rapidly. The advisory committee refused to admit the newspapermen, bat said they would hear the report through the chairman. This was refused, as the nowspaper men had no interest In the matter except to bring tho two parties together. Superintendent Potter was informed of the result, and express d regrets, as tho places of the old men were being rapidly failed. Mr. Curry, who was present, took occasion to deny the gtatemenfrthat Andrew Carnegie wonld interfere. He stated that In a cablegram Inst received Mr. Carnegie said he hud no intention of returning to America at present, and that he would not interfere with the management or interpose to settle the lockout. WHAT TOM MANN SAYS. ' Surprised that the YVouIrt-Ile Assassin Was Not an American. Bi eelal to tH Indian polls Journal. 1 London, July 25. The attempted murer of Prick, the Carnegie m'anager, has Irbused widespread attention among the Working classes. The general expression is one of condemnation. Tom Mann, the labor leader, who is noted for the moderation of his views, is reported as saying: MThe British working classes will strongly condemn any attempt at assassination, under the pretext of avenging the wrongs or assisting the cause of labor. Indeed, wo working people of Great Pritain have every reason to oppose anarchy, for w Lave the making of the laws ourselves, ar d will soon have the Jnll control. Then, if capital treats labor unjustly, we will pass

laws that will make the capitalists the Anarchists if they attempt to resist the laws. I understand it is different in America, where it was said that certain provisions of legislation would have to be repealed before the majority could rule." Mr. Mann added: "1 am surprised to learn that the assassin in this case is a foreigner. All the famous assassins I have heard of in America have been Americans, including the men who killed Presidents Lincoln and Garfield, the noted risk ud the man who recently attempted to kill Sage. The American record on the sabi'ect of assassination is an awful one. Two 'residents have been assassinated within a little more than a quarter of a century, whereas it is more than four hundred years since the assassination of a ruler of France. Even despotic IiusMa has only seen two rulers assassinated in the present century, and Mexico, the neighbor of the United States, .has not. I believe, seen a single ruler die Uy the assassin's hand. With such a record we Pritonn are not so mnch surprised as we would otherwise be at this latest attempt at assassination. Thft surprise is that in this instance a -foreigner is thn assnasin." A prominent Tory said that Englishmen would feel inclined to condemn such a crime as the shooting of Mr. Frick most strenuously but lor the slichtly-veiled sympathy extended by the Americans for assassination and outrage in the island. He did not Relieve thero was any danger of that method of settling labor dispntes being imported to England. It was not tho British way. The Times says: "Bergman overstepped the line, but his crime differs in degreo from deeds of lawlessness and violence whjch not many strike leaders venture heartily to discourage, and which some eVen openly advocate and defend. Mr. Carnegie's position is singular. The avowed champion of trades-unions, ho now rinds himself in almost ruinous conflict with the representatives of his views. Ho has been compelled to modify his praise of nnionism. Or are we to assume that the doctrine is tree in Glasgow, but not in tho United States, or that it ceases' to be applicable the moment Mr. Carnegie's interests are touched!" A reporter yesterday drove from Kingussie to Iiannocb Lodge, onLoch Hannoch, Scotland, Mr. Carnegie's residence, and made repeated efforts to obtain an interview,but hismisston proved fruitless. This morning, however, he was more successful, and was finally admitted to Mr. Carnegio's presence. The representative opened the interview by saying to Mr. Carnagie: "In view of the events of Saturday last at Homestead, I have come to ask again for an expression of your opinion of the outcome of the Homestead troubles." At iirst Mr. Carnegio positively refused to discuss any phase of the situation, bnt finally said: "Well. 1 authorize you to make the following statement: I have not attended to the business for the past three, years, but 1 have implicit confidence in those who are managing the mills. Further than that I have notbingto say." It is known that Mr. Carnegie ia greatly distressed by the attack of Pergman upon Mr. Frick, and that he daily receives many cablo dispatches giving the fullest particulars of bis condition. It is very evident that Mr. Carnegie has no intention of returning to America at present.. -

CHRISTENED THE -COLUMBIA." Jlisi Morton, Daughter of tho Vice-President, CrackeJ a Utth on the New Cruiser. Philadelphia, July 2G. Under a sun that almost made her metal sides vibrate cruiser No. 12, as tbe vessel had popularly been known, "The Pirate." was launched this afternoon from Cramp's shin-yard and christened tho Columbia by Miss Edith Morton, daughter of Vice-president Morton. Secretary of the Navy Tracy, Vice-president Morton, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Schelly, Commander Scholeh, Congressman John K. Fellows, Commander Aliboue, Uni ted States Senator Chilton and Assistant Secretary of State Urinnell reached this city at 1 o'clock from Washington. Mre. Morton and her two daughters. Miss Edith , and Miss lleleii prion, arrived at 1:00. The two parties were met at the station by Henry Cramp, and taken in carriages to the shipyard. They reached tho yard about 3:30. The Misses Morton was each presented with a bouquet upon their arrival, and then the entire company was escorted to the christening - stand below. The vessel stood upon her stocks in an unfinished state. It was hard for the eye of the nnoraoticed landsman to determine in her the most deetructivo cruiser that has ever been built. The great length of tho cruiser cas noticeable as she hung out over the rlVer and in comparison to her the Caravels of Columbus would hardly batfe served the monster for Ions boatn. While the christening party had been taking thtir staud upon tbe platform, the busy workmen beneath the keel of the vessel were preparing her for the journey down the ways. The shoring was rapidly struck down and the timbers sawed through. At ten minutes to 4 the crashing sound of breaking planks was heard and Miss Edith Morton was banded the bottle of champagne and was told to prepare to break it as soon an the cruiser started. Tbe noise of the cracking wood teased and the cruiser started on her downward sweep towards the river. As the vessel began to gather headway Miss Morton crushed the bottle acainat tbe boat nnd said: "1 christen this cruiser the Columbia." WIIT BISMARCK RESIGNED. An Austrian Newspaper Tells All About That Iv.ttle Qnarral, Geneva, July 26 The newspaper Oenevois publishes an interesting statement made by a friend of Prince Bismarck, a great novelist and historian, whose name is not revealed. The friend says that he entered Princo Bismarck's study on the day of rupture between tbe Prince and the Kmperor. Bismarck, trembling with agitation, was walking the room muttering imprecations. When ho saw his friend, Bismarck exclaimed: "The Kmperor has kicked me out without consideration me, tbe greatest servant of his gramlfatfier and father. He ajfkedfor my written resignation on the spot, but he shall not have it until torubrVow, even if his impatience over the delay causes his death." When he became calm, Bismarck explained that the Emperor had announced Me intention to attend a fete given by Dr. Windhorst, the Centrist leader. Bismarck begged the Emperor not to go. saying that his presenco would bo regarded as condemnatory of the attitude of the Chancellor in the eyea of the Centrists, bis bitterest enemies, while it would cause great satisfaction to enemies of the empire and would be. an overt repudiation of the Chancellor. The Emperor answered brusquely and disdainfully, stamping one loot. "Are you going to dictate my very bill of fare?" he asked. Bismarck replied: "Then must resign." 'I accent your resignation," said the Emperor. "Von may retire. Send me your resignation in writing." Bismarck then withdrew, but he obstinately refused to send in his resignation until tho next day. Another Itnnjr of the Virgin. St. Petersburg, July 26, A sensation has been caused among the lower classes here by the miraculous discovery of an image of the Virgin in tbe foundation of the church that is being built on the spot where Alexander 111 was murdered. It is Said that the Virgin revealed the presence of the image to an old man in a dream. The image' was conveyed to the palace of Grand Duchess Catherine Michaelovni, where the court chaplain wan the tirst to venerate it. Doubters assert that tbe story, was concocted to quicken the zeal of the public in behalf of the church-building fund. Want it 1'rlncft Murdered. Sofia, July 2Ca.

Hardy, one of tbe most desperate and reckless bank robbers and jail breakers that this country has ever produced, is in the custody of the police of Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany. When arrested he was living on the proceeds of robberies in Berlin and BadenBaden, in handsome style, as Edward Carson, a wealthy American mine-owner. Ho had apartments at one of tho fashionable hotels in Frankfort and was associating with several well-known Americans and their families and with two English noblemen. He wore expensive jewelry. His lavish spending of money won him the title of the "American millionaire." While seated in the reception-room of his hotel last Friday, conversing with n Mr. Green, of iaw fork, the police placed him nuder arrest. He protested vigorously and Mr. Green was pnitivp that an absurd m stake had been made. But a BadenBaden banker recognized in Hardy a tall, slender, dark young man who had dashed into bis bank, seized a package containing $:1000 and escaped. Hardy was taken to jail and tbe German police cabled a description of their prisoner to Chief 'Inspector Steers. The message was received at police headquarters yesterday morning. Chief Inspector Steers at once recognized "Carson" as Hardy, for whom the poltco of many large cities in the United States and Canada have been searching since December last. The Inspector sent a reply to the Frankfort polico giving Hardy's record and asking that he be held. a THE S1LYERITES TOGETHER. Don't Know What They Want, but Wilt Do Homethlnc Sure. Denyt.r. CoL, July 26. The first convention of the State Silver League assembled in tbe Chamber of Commerce this morning (fo? tbe purpose of nominating a State ticket, together with fonr presidential eleetors. There were about five hundred delegates present, and the convention promises to be an exceptionally lively one, because of the many opinions held as to tho proper policy to be adopted. Some favor a fusion with the People's party, while others object tOj the party being made the tail to any party kite and demaud a straight ticket to bo put in the field. M. II. Slater, president of the State Silver League, has published a letter in which he recommends that the convention ' nominate electors pledged to cast their vote for no presidential candidate who will not publicly declare himself in favor of free and unlimited coinaae of silver. They hope by this means to force either President Harrison or Mr. Cleveland to declare themselves, and in caso they do not, they expect to carry Colorado. Idaho and three or four of the Western States and throw the election of President into the House of Kepresentatives. The assemblage was organized by the election of C. I. Thompson, of Aspen, temporary chairman. The various committees were appointed and an invitation extended to General Weaver to address thum. After some discussion a committee was appointed, which at once waited upon Gen. Weaver at bis hotel. During tho interval between the going and returning of the Weaver committee Capr. C. A. Power, of Torre Haute, lnd., the national committeeman of the People's party for that State, was introduced and said that bo was glad to see tbe delegates and to notice the spirit of harmony which prevailed, and he felt sure that the work of the convention woold he felt to the euds of the Nation. Events which had transpired recently had made the movement reach down deeper than anything which - had sprung up since the wur. The liberty of the people was involved. Speaking of tbe international monetary conference he said that wh"ti Harrison akcd a lot of foreign aristocrats to sit in judgment on a domestic nflair, it struck him as a movement to barter away the sovereignty of the American people over thoir domestic atlairs. The silver question concerns the whole people, arid he trusted that this question would stir up the American Eeople as no other movement ever ad. The wheat and cotton regions were deeply interested in the silver question. He did not care to say more, for he knew that General Weaver would explaiu things better than he. General Weaver, however, sent word that his time was limited, and that, while ho could not accept the invitation to be present, he expressed himself as heartily in accord with efforts of the convention for free silver. Julius Thompson, who is prominently spoken of as the People's party candidate for Governor of Colorado, said that the time had come for aetion. He was in the movement to work with harness on his shoulder and with the collar on bis neck. Clark Wheeler, of Aspen, followed Mr. Thompson. Ho said that the silver men had got nothing from Chicago or Minneapolis, bnt had received everything they asked for from the Omaha convention. In conclusion, Mr. Wheeler said that two-thirds of the members of the Silver League were going to vote the People's ticket, aud that the People's party was organized in every State in the Union, and was going to carry many States. Hon. Thomas Patterson, of Denver, in addressing the convention, said that the election of either Cleveland or Harrison meant the same thing to silver-producing States, and that it was the downfall of silver. He said that Genet al Weaver was Colorado's choice and he should receive the support of Democrats mud ltepublicans alike. Nominated on the 759th IlalloU Little Hock, Ark., July 26.

BAY CITY'S FIERY SCOURGE Scenoof Desolation Among Citizens Who Lost All in the Conflagration. Three Hundrcl Families Fi at MHnicrht on the ( ommons Tttal Low More than a Million One Old )Ian Found Lnrned. Bay City. Mien., July 2T. After the adjournment of the Common Council, last evening, a number of wealthy citizens subscribed several hundred dollars for the temporary relief of families whose homes baa beeu destroyed in tho tires that swept over forty blocks of business houses and residences. A committee was appointed to purchase and distribute provisions. They immediately set to work and after purobasins the stock of several restaurants proceeded to the camp of tne homeless with a couple of dray-loads of provisions. Eatables were apportioned among the enfferers and at midnight in the glare of flames which lit the firmament, nearly one thousand people partook of the first food they had tasted since they ate their noonday meal. ' The scene on the commons where the people were huddled, guarding the few personal e fleets they had saved, was one of desolation. Such bedding as had been preserved was arranged on the sod and allotted to women who had infants to card for. To the northward, extending over half a mile, and from two to five blocks wide, lay a waste of burning embers whore less tban twelve hours before had stood hundreds of happy homes. At tbe break of day the scene changed to one of activity. The men left the group and proceeded to the ruins in a vain attempt to recover property overlooked by the flames, while women and. children busied themselves assorting furniture and securing their personal effects from tbe general mass. Never did a Are do cleaner work than this one which swept through the city yesterday. Wltbin the burned -territory not a house is left standing. It will require soveral days to ascertain precisely bow many ' buildings were consumed. The total loss is somewhere around 1,000.000. This afternoon the most conservative estimate places the number at 350, while many persons acquainted with the situation claim that icily 500 houses were destroyed. The loss at Miller & Turner's manufacturing plant will reach SiOO.OOo. These figures include 1U.OC0 00O feet of lumber owned by Joseph Turner and Spencer O. Fisher. The lumber was insure4 lor SU5,0tt). Albert Miller loses everything. His fine residence, situated on Thirtieth street, was reduced to ashes.

There were at least 250 houses destroyed belonging to other parties, each of which, with their furnishing, represented 81,(00. The msjority of the latter belonged to Polish families, and, as far as can be learned, most of them were insured. Hundreds of families whose homes were not destroyed sutler losses by reason of removing their furniture in anticipation of being burned out. As always on such occasions, thieves were about, ready to ply their nefarions calling. Five pillagers were arrested, and now 1 io in the city lock-up. A masa-cneatinr of citizens was called, and means will be devised for affording permanent relief to tbe homeless. While the conflagration is a serious blow to the city, aud will occasion much suttering, the Idea that the city lies in ashes is a mistaken one. Tbe principal business portion lies over two miles fron tho burned district, and remains intact. It is the ponror class wiip will suffer most, and much food, money and clothing will be required. The tirst fatality has just come to light. It was learned this morning that Jesse M. Miller, an old nnd respected citizen, was missing. A search among the debris of his dwelling resulted in finding of his teeth and a few charred bones. Lying close by the remains were several gold coins, ft is supposed that he arrived atbis home to find it ui llamec. and rushing insideto rescue his gold, was overcome by heat and smoke. Searching parties are going about at present among the ruins, but it is not believed that any more persons have perished. Konin and OU Burned. . Cincinnati, O., July 6.
