C CREAM FREEZERS, PEACE ON AT HOMESTEAD IT MAY BE A QUIET STORM. I1EI-ORE The Town Under Arms More Plukcrton Reported on their Way to Homestead MlevMisou on the Trouble. Pittsiu'w;, uly 8. A l 0 o'clock this morning, the hour set by Sheriff McL'lcary for the assembling of SCO men to act as deputy sheriffs nt Homestead not more than thirty appeared. The majority had excuses of various kinds. After calling the list of summons sent out, and only twenty-three had signified n willingness to go, the sheriff announced he would go alone. IIoMKSTliAi), I'a., July 8 The town has practically been under arms since last night, and there were many tumors afloat this morning. As a committee pitsscd along the street, one exclaiming in a loud voice: "Wc are all armed to day and will not allow any one to enter the works, be he white-leg or black-leg." A rumor bas reached here and is causing much comment, that forty to sixty freight cars are being equipped at Cin cinnati nnd Limn in which the Pinker tons will be sent to Homestead. The rumor may not be true, but, as a leader remarked, "We did not believe thebarge story till they cune up, and we will ccr tainly not discredit this story till it is proved false." The rcpor t that Sheriff McClcary is responsible for the appearance of the Pinkertons in Homestead has caused much bitter feeling and if he comes to Homestead today he will have a chance to make several explanations. The mill was i(uict this morning, but in expectancy of another attack during the day an unusually large number of armed men have congregated nc,r the works and nt the first movement they will enter nnd take possession. It is reported that 100 armed work men from I'ittsliurg are concealed near Homestead and arc ready to march into the town nt the first sign of being needed to reinforce the strikers. The ruin that was incident to yester day's preparation of warfare has been repaired, the dismantled fence around the works has been rebuilt, the yard has been cleared of all debris and inside the works the old watchmen of the firm peacefully perform their customary pa trol. Tliis statement is the best' that can be said inbehalf of the striking men and they can honestly assert that, ex cept in defence of what they claim to be their right, that is to prevent the introduction and protection of non union workmen who will dispossess them of their homes and means of livelihood, they are orderly nnd careful conserva tors of the peace. No proerty has been destroyed, no pillage exceusing that at tending the disgraceful scenes enacted af ter the surrender last night, has been at tempted; no disorder has occured. The keeping of lpwful owners nnd those whom they choose to place their own properly, out of it, is another mat ter which outside sentiment will differ up on, though in this borough, where every man is the millworkcr of his relative or tradisman, only oneopinioniscxprcssed. The darkest stry of the whole affair is that of the running of the gauntlet after the surrender and the brutality in flicted upon the defenceless I'inkcrtons. An inquiry among witnesses show that the reports of it were not exaggerated and all that men can say cannot exten uate it. The women were the most viru lent and savage after the surrender, and it was due largely to their acts and their goading ol the men that the leaders were unable to restrain the mob, HAKRism-itc, Pa., July 8. (lov. Patti son received this telegram this morning: "Could you meet a committee of Home stead citizens on the arrival of the mail express at 10 o'clock tonight." This was signed by "John Purmni, J. H. Wil liams, Hugh O'Donncll and Geo. Sarrcl, committee." The governor replied that he would be at the executive department at 10 o'clock tonight. Lot'isviu-u, July 8. A bill willjbe in troduced today in the general assembly at Frankfort to prohibit the employ of Pinkerton men in Kentucky. ttlevei.Hou on the RlotH. ClliCAi-.o, July 6. Adlai E. Stevenson, the democratic vice-presidential nominee, arrived in this city tonight, licing inter viewed on the Homestead riots, he said : "I read a few of the dispatches this evening, but am not thoroughly posted on the situation nt the Carnegie works. It is a very unfor tunate condition of affairs and greatly to lie deplored. It demostrntcs the fact that a high protective tariff affords no protection to laboring men and never betters their condition. I do not care to say more, as I am not at all familiar with the situation." SIMMON! ELECTICD. Chairman of the Democratic state Executive Committee. Kai.uigii, July C The democratic state executive committee met this after noon. The attendance was remarkably large, nnd all save one of tlie candidates for state offices were present. It was de cided that the campaign should be aggressive, and that it ought to begin not earlier than mid-August, though locacul canvasses could begin sooner. There were bad' reports from n few counties, notably Chatham and Vance, as to the extent ol the third party disaf fection. The meeting expressed its in tention to carry the state by 20,000 ma jority lor Cleveland and Cnrr. 1 he committee met neam nt night and devoted itself to tne election of a chair man, lid Chambers Smith was re elected but declined to serve. Ee-Con gressmnn P. M. Simmons, of Newbcrn. was then elected and accepted the post' tion. The nominees for offices did not make any suggestions as to the selcc tion of the chairman, but left it entirely to tlie committee. Charlotte Observer, The English Elections. London, July 8. Up to 3:10 this morn ing the returns show the election of 162 conservatives, 124 liberals, 220 liberal unionists, 13 unti-Pnrnellitet and 4 Par ucllites. This makes a total of 325 mem bers, or nearly half the G70 members of house commons. Away off iu Mississippi. West Point, Miss., July 8. A suit was filed here yesterday against the Rich mond and Danville railroad, lesecs of the Georgia Pacific for $73,000 state and county taxes for the yean 1880 to 1892 inclusive. .1 STKMCIir tii: I I Sport I say, Jack, can't you give me a tip on the races ?

THE HOUSE AND SENATE IIIRINU rilSKICKTOlSt ACT OK TREASON? AN An InlcrcMtl.iic Debute in the Hen nte The Oliver mil Tin IMatc measure-Republlca.m Not Vol lK and Not Counted. Washington, July 8. The fortification bill was reported by Mr. Dawes in the senate today and placed on the calendar with a notice that it would be called up soon for action. Mr. Hill introduced a bill changing the date for the dedication of the buildings of the World's Columbian Imposition! (rom the lath to the 21st of October, 1802, nnd after a statement by him as to the reasons for the bill and one from Mr. Cullom assenting to it, the bill was passed. The houjc bill to pay to the Mobile nnd Girnrd railroad company $22.08 for transporting parolled prisoners was taken from the calandar and passed. The senate silver bill was taken up for consideration by the house coinage com mittee today. Mr. Shively moved to suspend the rules nnd pass the tin plate bill. Mr. Dalzcll demanded a second, which was ordered, 1G8 to nothing, and the repub licans refusing to vote, in hope of break ing the quorum. A speech was made in the senate Wed nesday by Mr. Palmer, of Illinois, was remarkable for the advanced position ta ken by the Illinois senator in maintain ing the right of factory and railroad em ployees to continuous employment at reasonable fair rates of compensation. Voorhees' speech on the same subject wns made up principally ol an attack on the republican party and its policy of high protection, to which he ascribed the crop of labor riots a(l over the country. He was replied to by Mr. Hale, who criticised him for converting such a grave matter as the Homestead conflict into a question of partisan politics. Mr. Call ollcrcd a resolution which was referred to the judiciary committee, inquiring whether the employment of a private armed force is not an act of treason and levying of war against the United States. NO lA'NCIIINti Jacksonville Whiten Will Await the I.aw'H Action. Jacksonvii.u?, July 8. Shortly be fore midnight last night n mob of 700 negroes marched t the Duval county jnil iu squads. They were all heavily armed. The negroes claimed that they received positive information that the whites intended lynching n negro con fined in the jail who is charged with hav ing murdered a man last Monday. Tlie jail officials quickly notified the governor nnd orders were at once issued to have several companies hold themselves in readiness. The companies assembled at the armory, with Capt. Turner in command. The negroes sent a committee to the nrmorv to confer with Capt. Turner. The captain assured thccolored men that there was no danger of a lynching and advised them to go home quietly. When the negroes saw the soldiers they scat tered. Iacksonvii.li:, I'la., July 8. Three white men were fired upon whilestanding upon the corner ol Kay and Uog.m streets about 1:30 this morning. The shot wns fired evidently from soiup pluce of concealment. The policeinvcstignted, but could find nobody in the vicinity likely to have done the firing. Oneof these white men is said to have indulged in threat enine talk last Monday night ubout lynching a negro name Keed. A mass nieetinc ot colored citizens passed resolutions last nighteondenining the action ot negroes in organizing mob, assuring them that the prisoners in iail would be protected, and counsel ing to refrnim from any further demon strutions. The Harrison and Morton el ub of w hitc republicans also passed reso' lutior.s simillar in import. About 500 men are still under nrms, hut only ns a matter of precaution The negroes arc generally quiet. NATIONAL, COMMITTEE. Chairman Campbell Names a De rented Ticket. New Yokk, July 8.

Romance of a Quiet Nelichbor-bood-Short Lived HapplueHH Soine Personal Notes-At Sea In au Oi.eu Boat. WEAViiKviLi.it, July 4. 1 hope it is not too late and that it will not be in bad taste for me to send a lew words of com- mcndatiou for The Citizen. It has grown into a ncwspaier in the fullest sense of the term. It has in the last year ascended to the dignity of having an opinion of its own. I hope you will continue your good advice to those who have iu charge your city's welfare. It seems to me to be almost a crisis iu Ashcville's history. Her downhill would be our downfall as well. So keep her afloat il you can. All this time Weavcrvillc is growing; she is fast becoming a hustler from "way back." She is swelling herself up like Mark Twain's frog, so when the railroad comes snort ing through it will not fail to sc us and slop. A quiet Sabbath morning not long since. The worshippers of the village weie returning home having heard a dry sermon and feeling thirsty and longing for rest. An ancient turnout consisting ol a dclnpidatcd buggy and a horse of un certain age, but many fine points, the former containing a man and women, he about twenty live.andshenhoiittwenty, came rattling down the main street and stopped before the door of n certain jus tice of the peace. They wanted to be married quick; and the magistrate stop ped a' passer by nnd made the twain as one. And turning the horses' heads thev set sail upon that sea on which so many sails have whitened and upon whose strand so many wrecks are strewn. They went to live with relatives in If Cove. He wrestled with the fes tive tobacco plant and did his best to keep down the weeds in the growing com on the mountain side, while with a heavy paddle she beat the life out of their clothes down at the "wash place," setting a thousand warring echoes adrift in the mountains. At night, the frugal meal eaten, the banjo was brought out, and to the strains of "Old Joe Clarke" and "Pretty little Liza Jane" and "I'm gwine down to town," the puncheons resounded to the tread of the "dancers dancing in tune." Hut their happiness w..s shortlived. They had gone to sea in an open boat as it were; an tinpropitious wind had blown into their sail. Not a month of wedded bliss had been passed when some tales from over the mountains in Ten nessee were whispered ubout. They reached the ears of the truant groom and a spirit of unrest settled upon him. The other night tlie climax of this romance was reached. It was reported m the cove that the officers were coming to ar rest turn, but he was sharp enough for them, and when the night hud worn itself well awav he slipped out of the cabin, and stepping off into the darkness, will be seen in these parts no more. Another romantic marriage which promises to be all smooth sailing and ul bliss without anv blister was one which took place the other day. Last Wcdnesdnv a crowd of voung tolks ac companied by Kev. Mr. Wagg went on a tripto Craggy. While uptherc Mr.Llcdcn weaver and Miss Laura l'rothtt were oined in holy bondsof wedlock. Standing on the massive pile of granite under which so many gay mountain climbers have passed the fleeting hours with revel and song, the solemn words were spoken which made them one. May their hap piness be as solid and lasting as the rock upon winch they stood and their joys as boundless as the wild panorama which stretched itself before their nstouislied gaze. Mrs. l.uey Ooodsliv, ol Orccnslioro, is re with her daughter Marv on a visit to relatives. Miss Ilcssy Alford, a pop ular young lady of Greensboro, is visit ing Miss Carrie Nichols at her pleasant dome near here. Kev. I. Austin is up rom Lincolnton on a short visit. Miss Myra Sue Howell, of vour city, is visit ing her sister, Mrs. Hannah Weaver. It rains every day. The oldest citizens say these arc the dampest rams they have ever experienced. CHOLERA AND CHOLERINE. Deaths From Both Iu Russia and In the Suburbs of Paris. St. PhtkhshUko, July 6. The cholera has reached Tsaritsin, on the Volga. Fifteen cases of the disease and six deaths have been reported. In the city of Sar atov 20 cases and six deaths have been reported. in llaku the deaths number 100 daily. The disease is rapidly increasius in sever ity throughout the Caucasus. Paris, July b. There were twelve deaths from cholerine iu the suburbs vesterdav. A TOWN BITRNINtt. Elk Grove California, Suffers an I'nkuowu I.oss. vackami;nto, July 8. A telephone mes sage from Elk grove, 13 miles from here, at a late hour last night announced that the town wnson fire. The Toronto hotel, livery stable and railroad depot had burned. Communication has been cut off by telegraph and telephone and the extent of the fire cannot be learned. A railroad train has left here for the scene. What the Third Party Missed, From the Philadelphia Times. Had Judge Grcsham been nominated without a dozen supcrserviceable leaders forcing him to apicar to seek the can didacy, be would have ended the republi can party us a great political organiza tion, and Harrison would not have car ried a single state west of Ohio. He is a great leader; able, honest, and just the man to inspire and command a revolu tion. The railway commission is actively at work. It settles many disputes by correspondence. It thus settled claims for damages made by F. S. Royster & Co., of Tarboro, against the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line Rail ways, for alleged detention of car loads of meat for a week. It was shown that the delav was not the fault of either of these road., but of the Chesapeake & Ohio, one cur having been billed only to Petersburg and the other wrongly shi- ped to bullolK. DID HE TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE? The train which leaves the Asheville depot at ;i:05 was rounding the liend yesterday when a man rushed to the platform and jumped off. His rash act created great excitement among the other passengers they all thought it was a case of suicide. Ladies fainted, men rushed to the platform expecting to sec his mangled form upon the track, but the fact was he had forgotten to put his bottle of "Huncombe Pills" in his satchel und would not start on his jour ney without them.
