CARNEGIE SUED.

Victim of Homestead Poisoners Will Try to Get Damages. Homestead, Pa., Nov. 14.—H. J. Bird has entered suit against the Carnegie Steel company for $30,000 damages. Bird was brought here during the strike from Chattanooga, Tenn., by the Carnegie company. He boarded at restaurant No 2 and was poisoned by some of the food, for poisoning which Master Workman Hugh Dempsey, of the Knights of Labor, and others are now serving time in the penitentiary. Bird has been ill ever since. Last April he was discharged on account of his ill health, for which he holds the Carnegie company responsible.
