Dynamite Exploded in a House Where Forty Non-Union Men Were Asleep. Homestead, Pa.. Oct 7. A dastardly attempt was made last night to murder, in their beds, about forty non-union men. Dynamite was the agency resorted to, and that it failed was due to the force of the explosion being expended downward. The explosion was so severe that it was felt in camp, and the front part of the Mansion llouso was wrecked. Mrs. Marion keeps a boarding establishment, frequented by non-union men, which is located at the corner of Amity street and Filth avenue. It belongs to the Coxe estate, and is known as the Mansion House. Shortly after 2 o'clock this morning, when the mill-workers were all asleep, they were suddenly awakened by an explosion, which overturned their beds, scattered furniture around tho rooms and broke windows and crockery ware. They were all shocked aod greatly frightened, fearing tbey had been attacked and were going to be killed. The bouse was tilled with dust from plaster, and the peculiar odor of the explosive conveyed tbe impression that tbe house was on fire. For a minute tbe men huddled In their rooms, and then rushed panic-atricken down stairs. Tbey reached tho sitting-room and found tbey could walk into tho street The front of the room had'been blown out One man stumbled and nearly broke his leg. lie had fallen into a huge hole in tho lloor. It was where a dynamite cartridge bad fallen and exploded. The street was deserted at the time, bnt the explosion aroused people for squares around, and they soon Hocked to the ecsne. Tbe deputy sheritls were soon there, and secured whatever evidence tbey could. It appears that a window in front bad been broken, and through this the stick of dynamite was thrown. There are four large window-glasses in the front, as the room was once used for a store. Those panes were shattered Into fragments, the door was broken, several chairs battered, and the room was a'coraplete'wreck. Had some explosive whose force is upward instead of downward been used, it is probable that ail of the inmates of the house would have been killed. As it is. the mill-workers are terrorized, and the company will have to put watobmen in the boarding-houses be fore tbey will go back again. As a result of th i dynamite ontrsge deputy sheritls are p.itrolliug the streets and guarding the non-union boarding-houses. The strikers' advisory committee issued a statement this evening condemning this dastardly aot aud ottering $100 for tbe arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. The stntement says that such actions are not sanctioned by tbe committee and they don't believe that any of the men are guilty. In the opinion of the committee tbe dynamite was thrown by some one to whose interest it is to keep the troops and deputy sheritls here. NEW 6C3IMEK KESORT.

SCHEMING TO STEAL A STATE

Editor Pomeroy Discovers a Deep Dem ocratlc Conspiracy in Pcnnsjlvania. Plan to Cast the Electoral Tote for Cleveland by Withholding Ballots from Republican Coamicj Until Too Late to Print Them. Hill Reported to IlaYO Made n Deal That Will Enable Him to Knife Cleveland. Democrats Afraid to Let Voters Read the 'Force'' Bill Sfcretary Charles Foster's View of the Situation in the fcoutb. NICE DEMOCRATIC SCHE31E, Plan to Steal the Electoral Vote of Pennsylvania Unwittingly llevealed. Philadelphia, Pa.. Oct C A. Nevines Pomeroy, editor of the Chambersburg Kepository, to-night made afiidavit before a notary publio that the Democratic party will endeavor to cast the electoral vote of Pennsylvania for Cleveland by withholding the ballots from Republican counties until too late to be printed for election day. Mr. Pomeroy in his atlidavit alleges that the scheme was unfolded to him by State Superintendent of Printing Grier, through mistaking him one night on the street at Harrisburg for a Democratic clerk. Republican State Chairman Keeder, upon being informed by Mr. Pomeroy of his alleged discovery of tbe scheme of the Democrats to steal the Stato's electoral vote, to-day telegraphed Governor Pattison, asking him if the form of the ballot should not be reduced. Governor Pattison to-night reoolved the following telegram from the Pottsville Evening Chronicle: It is possible to call an extra sosalon of tbe Legislature to repeal tho ttaker ballot law. Bentitnent hero iu favor of repeal, as it was feared many counties canuot bo supplied with ballots. The Governor sent the following answer: There is no ocoasion for an extra session of tho Legislature. Tbe Baker ballot law passed by a very larje majority in both branches of tho Legislature. It was enacted In obedience to a very decided publio sentiment. The press, almost without exception, approved of it. If as earnest efforts were made to enforce it as there is a disposition to ilnd fault with it there could be no trouble lu its execution. Ballot reform In Pennsylvania has cotao ro stay. Amendments may be found to be neceisary in tho future, but tbey will be in lino of present legislation. II ILL MISTRUSTED. Report That the Senator lias Made a Deal and Intends to Knife Cleveland. New York. Oet. 7. "Senator Hill has made his deal. From an excellent source I have it that the State Democracy will indorse the Republican nomination of Charles Andrews for judge of the Court of Appeals," says an Albany dispatch to the Herald. "The , Cleveland men are much disturbed over this programme. They fear that the Senator intends to knife Cleveland, and have taken this' step to prevent conviotion after election. With no contest in the State, if Cleveland is beaten there would be no way of telling what did it. If a Hill candidate for judge ran ahead of Cleveland it would be evident that there had been treachery. It is tbe fear of Hill and the shrewdness of his movo in working to have Andrews indorsed that makes the Cleveland men excited over the reported deal. They want a Democratio nomination for judge made so aa to bold tabs on Hill, and they swear they will break the deal. These men seem to me to bo unnecessarily alarmed. There is no evidence that Hill will play Cleveland false. The Senator does not like the nomination, and althongn he is not putting over his work, ho is supporting the ticket and so are his nearest friends. 1 find Hill men betting on Cleveland, which is a good sign of their loyalty. Hill's object in not wanting a Democrat noinnated. for the Court of Appeals is more likely to be because he fears that, while he is loyal, many over-realous Hill men may vote for tho Judge and cut Cleveland. This would make it very uncomfortable fpr Hill in Then again he may not car to tako the risk of having a Hill candidate for judge run behind Mr. Clevclaud in this State. That would be bad, too, for Hill." OVATION TO M'KINLEY. Citizens of Jersey, Regardless of Partj', Greet the Great Tariff Expounder. Newark, N. J., Oct 7. Governor McKinley's reception here, to-night, was the most enthusiastic and magnificent ovation tendered to any man within tho past quarter of a century in tnese parts. Citizens, without distinction of party, turned out to greet him. Governor McKinley said, among other things: "After all political parties are but agents of the people. The Republicans have no desiro to shirk their platform and are determined that the Democrats shall not escape theirs. The leaders of the Democratio party have been financially nnsonnd for thirty years. For instance, take the greenback currency, the national banks, national bonds, unlimited ooinage. the cO-cent dollar, and now tho abolition of the 10 per ceut. tax on State banks. They have been beaten in every position tbey ever took." He then spoke on the fiscal policy of the Democratio party. The people, lie said, did not want to have to carry a bank-note detector again. Tho Democratio party not only wanted to debase the currency, but to debase labor. He asked: "Is (irover Cleveland a better constitutional lawyer than was Jefferson, or Adlai Stevenson a better interpreter of the Constitution than was Madison, or Henry Watterson a better expounder of the Constitution than was Henry Clay, of old Kentucky home? Are all combined better than tbe United States Supreme Court? I'M tell you when wo can have free trade. When the nations pay the same wages for labor we do. In European cities the American watch is ticking Hail Columbia.' " Governor MeKinley then spoke of Commissioner Peck's and other reports. "Mr. Cleveland says we must consult morals as well as markets. Does he mean that protection is immor! The leaders of the Democratic party predicted the failure of the McKinley bill. If facts did not overtake predictions the Democratio party would bo tho great est in the world." AFRAID OF THE "FORCE BILL." . Democrats Dont Want the Voters of the Country to KSow What It Really Contains. Bpecial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Oct. 7. The Democratic campaign committees hero find themselves in a very embarrassing situation. Their party has made the "force bill" the leading issue of tho campaign, and in many Congressional districts it is the only issue. At the opening of tbe campaign tbey ordered a lartre number of copies of tho election, or "fore bill" printed. It was thrn believed that every speaker in the party would want one, evcry Democratio newspaper would demand one, and the discreet workers would all desire a copy. It was not tbe Intention, however, to give out the bill for educational purposes, as tho managers

had long since learned that the bill itself not only did not make Democratio votes, bnt lost them, for tbe measure is not vicious and does not propose any improper interference with States' rights. It was arranged that the "force bill" should be described as a terrible measure, as one which deprived every citizen of his rights and turned over tbe bollot and the ofhees to the negroes. Hut the copies of tbe bill itself were to be given out only to men known to be all right Very severe instructions were issnod to not only the Democratio committees here, but the otneers of the documentroom of the lower honse of Congress. A day or two ago an otlicer in tho Treasury Department received a letter from a friend in Indiana, requesting a copy of the so-called "force bill." He stated that he had been iu formed that tbe supply in tbe hands of the Republican committees was exhausted, which was true, as tbe Republicans haye wanted no hotter denunciation of the lies being circulated about the election bill than the bill itself. It vindicates itself, and no fair-minded, or intelligent honest man, can read it without saying it isU6t and right and should be in force. So tbe department official started out to Jet a copy for his Indiana correspondent lo found none at any Republican place, end, finally, found himself leaning over the railing at the House document-room, asking the Democratio superintendent to give him a copy of tbe "force bill," These pills are primed for no partisan nse, bnt are paid for out of the public treasury, and belong to any one who calls for them. "Can I get a copy of the forco bill!'' inquired the ofiicial, deferentially, "Well," said tb8 superintendent looking at the inquirer suspiciously, "I am not sure that wo have them. Who' do you want it fori" "A man in Indiana," was the reply. "Is he a Democrat or a Republican!" "Ho does not state his politics." "Who are you! ' 4,My name is Smith." "Live here!" "Ves." "In government employ!" "Yes; Treasury Department" There was a pause, then the superintendent said: "We are just out of tho bills." SOUTHERN BOURDONS,

Secretary Charles Foster Thlnhs It Is a Hopeful Sign When They Dlscnss Live Issues. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Oet 7. "Whaterer the outcome of tbe election next month may be, tho present political conditions of the South are the most complicated and interesting they havo ever been, to my certain knowledge," said Secretary Charles Foster, of the Treasury Department, the other day, in conversation with your correspondent "For a half century slavery and social caste have kept the South practically solid. Sinoe tbe war the South has been a solid column on war issues. It is tbe best evidence in the world, to my mind, that the war, and all that it involved, are going rapidly to the rear In the Sonth, when we see the old-time leaders, and the bone and sinew of the Dour bona, fighting each other with hammer and tongs. It begins to look as though the South had entered on a new era. Progress is taking the plaee of prejudice. Independence is coming in where political blindoeus arid ignorance once were, and it seems as though there would now boas much contention in the South overofiiee and the spoils of place as there has ever been in the North. Our people have been too much of readers, too independent and progressive, too inventire, to follow any leader but one who tried to advance his country. In the South tbey have only wanted to know that a man was a secessionist a Bourbon, and he was supported without question. It only remained for the leaders to pick out tho ones to be .favored;' the voters saw to it that the rest ' was done. No one questioned the degree of tho bosses. Now the bosses tbemsolvcs are being relegated to tbe rear. And the political revolution which is taking place is over questions which involve the future. It is not the past that they haggle over. That is the hopeful sign. Heretofore tbe Democratic party, South especially, has laid down its political lines of battle from past accomplishments. They promised no future. Now they have actually broken away from their past prejudices and are contending over issues which propose chances in present policies. It is the first time since the defeat of States' rights and the abolition of slavery that they havo looked forward. It begins to look as though they would choose men for office because they bad ideas, living principles, and, no matter who wins in this congest, tho politico! linos of tho Sonth will be. broken. There will be new principles which will control parties, and the future destiny of state aud the people will bo discussed." Haston's Alleged Mission to Jackson. Jackson, Miss., Oct 7. Messrs. Iluston and Long, members of the national Republican committee from Indiana and Florida, respectively, have been cloietcd iu this city, to-day, with leading Republican federal omcc-holdcrn, black end white, from all parts of tho State. All effortsto ollicially ascertain tho object of tbelr presence has failed, but It bas leaked out from Republican sources that their mission here is similar to that in Toxa and Louisiana tbe asseftsnient and collection of money for campaign purposes. Moro Republican otlice-hoUlcrs were present In tbo city than have been seen hero beforo at any one time, other than at a State convention, for years. They decline to be Interviewed, further than to state that their presence here wo requested, but refuse to diclose tbe nource from whence tho Invitation came. It is allecred bv Republicans who oueht to know that there will be no Republican electoral ticket in this State. Georgia Ballot-Boxes Stuffed. Atlanta, Ga., Oct 7. State Chairman Irwin, of the People's party, says: "There was a great deal of ballot box stuClng on Tuesday. In Dougherty county It was shameful. Out In Roekdalo county tbey offered $10 forv negro votes. We got no help from the Republicans, who would naturally have voted agalust tbe Democrats. Many of tbe laboring men were told that tbey would be discharged If tbey votod for tho People's party, and- the railroads gave tbe same notice to their empolyes. For that reason we did not get out our full strength. We shall fight riht on through the presidential and congressional elections In Kovember, and then we expect to inako a far better showing. We will have united et&tes marshals at the polls in November, who will protect tbo balloting. There are many of our people who nro Democratio In State matters and People's party in national politics." Weaver' Will Go to Pulaski To-Day. Nashville, Oct. 8. General Weaver and Mrs. Lease spoke to a large crowd at a barbecue given by the People's party at Gooulettsville, a village ten miles north of Nashville. General Weaver made a'long speech. In wLlcn he dwelt chiefly upon the silver question, denouncing tho positions of both Democratic and Republican parties. Mr.-. Lease's speech was frequently applauded. To-night General Weaver was billed to speak in this city, but 'because of fatUuo declined. Tbo party leave for Pulaski, Tenn., in the morning, where General Weaver and Mrs. Lease have nppolntmeuts. There is some feeling in that town against General Weaver as an individual, but all measures will be taken by all tbo political parties to secure bini an uninterrupted bearing. ' Hill Will 5peak In Indiana. Alranv, N. tT., Oct 7. It was reported tnat an Invitation had been extended to Senator Hill to stump the fetate of California. Senator Hill said, to-night: I know nothing about the San Francisco trip except what i see In tbe afternoon papers. I would prefer to saj uothlng about it un til I know more about It" It is not ex pected here that Senator Hill wi!i accept the reported invitation extenaoa to mm uy can fornia Democrats. He ha an extensive cam paten tour now before him, and, with only four weeks remaining be i ore eleotion. it Is a dKflcult problem to figure out afortnlzbt's trip to the Pacitlo roust. He bas promised, to speak In Mr srinia, Wet Virelnia, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut, and be has several speeches to muko in this fctate. The Connecticut Muddle Uecldei.

The majority of Montana Democrats are opoecd to fusion with the Populists, but lnstruoons have been sent from national headquarters to indorse tbe People's party electors, at least, with the hope of throwing the election in the House. Ex-Qovernor Foraker. of Ohio, and J. R. Bar ton, candidate for Congress, add rested thousands of people at Concordia and Abilene. Kan., yesterdav. It was one ot the greatest political meetings ever held there, and the enthusiasm of tho Republicans was very marked.

He is very positive in his declaration that tho State of New York wilt elect Republican electors next month.

Englishwomen Accused of Drnnkennesa b Lady Cavendlih and the Duchess of Bedford Copyright. 1S&2, by the Js'ew York Associated Pra.1 London, Oot ?. A sharp aod probably salutary shock has been given to high social circles by the startling exposures in regard to the prevalence .of drunkenness among aristociatio ladies, made by; Lady Frederick Cavendish and the Duchess ol Bedford at the Church oongress.. Hitherto allegations ot wide-spread drinking practices among women of rank and fashion havo been deemed prejudiced gossin, bnt nothing that rumor ever suggested equals tho outspoken rev elations made by these high-., ly placed leaders of society. Lady Frederick Cavendish said that she had been recently staying at a country mansion where roomy dining-room chairs were still need. The seats were deeply curved to save tho gentlemen from falling oat after dinner; that although heavy drinking had been abandoned by the men. the women were becoming inveterate tipplers; that many ladies havo re coarse to "Dick-me-ups" at 11 a. m., brandy and soda during the day, wine ot dinner and something hot at bed-time. She saidsLs knew a yonng lady who could not get through the exertions of the London season without taking a "cordial," a pretty name foradram, kept handy at tea, and that after a certain morning concert a lady beside her had called for a "white cup," a deceptive name for a champagne-cup. Lady Cavendish protested especially against the new fashion of the young ladies, and old ones, too, accompanying gentlemen to the amok ing-room after dinner and sharing not only . the cigars, bnt also the spirits. She said that a distinguished phyaioian had assured her that many ladies who were living idle lives had consulted him for nervous symptoms which revealed, in perfect oncon sciousness on their part, a condition of alcoholism bordering on delirium tremens, but that alcohol was not the only fashionable falling, as chloral, chloradlno and morphine were taken in secrecy in boudoirs, and were adding to the maladies of modern life. The Dnchess of Bedford, taking up the theme, put the blame for these evils on the straining of faervo power, through the supposed exigent demands of society, until the nerves required atonie. The argument ' of tho neceisity of stimulation, she said, atl'orded but the very slightest protection against temptation. The real remedy was avoidance of misohievous forms of excitement, together with total abstinence. The Dnchess maintained that "moderation" was a very elastic term, and would not meet tbe evils like abstinence. It was a serious thing, she said, for Christian workers, pledged to tight the drinking praeticea of society, to reject the practice of abstinence, and she besought everybody interested to avoid the banter and jesting, too common in reference to tho greatost evil of modern life. The wife of Archbishop Benson. Sir William Herschell, the Dean of Kochester and others continued in a similar strain. Thi whole topio is deeply stirring the social elite. SHOT AT THE CONSUL.
