THREE POISONERS INDICTED. Dempsey, Gallagher and Davidson to Be Tried at Pittsburg. | The Homestead poisoning cases were taken |. before the grand jury at Pittsburg yesterday, | and indictments were returned against Master | Workman Hugh P. Dempsey, Patrick Gallagher and J. M. Davidson. The commonwealth had along array of witnesses, The grand jury wanted first to hear the testimony of physi- cians, and Drs. Amburton and W. H. McGeary of Homestead were called. Then Dr. D. G. Foster of Crafton and Dr, W. 8. Foster of Pitts- burg were called. Both of the latter have treated ‘cases of illness from the mills, and are supposed | to know a good deal more about the poisoning of the men than they have made known, After those four witnesses had been examined the grand jury announced that it had sufficient testimony and at once found true bills against those named. It is likely that the trials of these cases will take precedence over the other Homestead cases, Much has been said about the Carnegie at- torneys and the Pinkertons being in possession of knowledge relating to the kind of drug used, about their analysis made of the contents of the stomach of one man who died and about an analysis having been made of the tea, coffee, &c., containing the drug. The district attorney and county coroner both demanded of Attorney Breck a report of the analysis, Mr. Breck admitted to both that he had no such evidence, and from this it may be inferred that the prosecution knows no more than is contained in the confessions of Galla- gher and Davidson. The latter #aid they bad been told by Beatty that it contained Turkey rhubarb, catarrbal snuff and “something else.” Capt. Breck, counsel for the Carnegie Com- said: “‘Sofar as we have been able to learn the number of persons who died from the effect of the poison they received number thirty-four, but many other workmen, some of hom will ‘appear at the trial, are dying on their feet. ‘They have taken the poison so thoroughly into their systems that it is impos- sible for them to rid themselves of it. There were altogether about 4.000 men employed by the Carnegie Steel Company during the strike, atid of these over 2,000 became sick. Some died and many more are on the edge of the grave. Seven doctors have written to us from many different states, saying that they had at- tended sick persons who had returned from Homestead, and all indicated that they haa been systematically poisoned.” Mr. Breck said further that evidence incrimi- nating two members of the old advisory board and others had been obtained and was in the hands of District Attorney Burleigh for his consideration. Coroner McDowell proposes to carry his in- the grave. He intends to exhume the bodios of all the men who worked in the mills and who have since died under circumstances to whicu the slightest suspicion is attached. In each case the stomach will be subjected to a chemi- test to discover the presenco of poison, if any. ——ree suthorities in building the three vessels de- Send your contributions of provisions or clothing to Tux Evexixe Star Santa Claus Club for distribution to the poor at Christmas, ——s Cottonhead Sam Acquitted, Sam Lewis, a negro who is known to the police as “‘Cottonhead Sam,” was tried before Judge Miller yesterday on a charge of stealing apiece of cloth from Nelson Conovers’ tailor shop on 4th street.

Four motormen perished in the burning of the big car stables of the West End Street Rail- way Company on Ferry street, Everett, Mass, last night. The fire broke out shortly after 7:80 o'clock in the enginé room and spread to the oil room and in five minutes enveloped the entire structure. John Clarke, Luke Glennon, George Wallis and John Maguinness, all motormen, were en- gaged in the “pit” clesning the electric motors and their escape was cut off. The bodies of two were taken ont at midnight. Ono was identificd as Clarke's, but the other is so badiy burned as to be unrecognizable. The loss is $125,000. Gen, Miles’ View of Canada’s Attitude in Putting Armed Vessels on the Lakes. “If Canada has built and armed three vessels for service on the lakes, as described by the officers of the revenue marine service at Wash- ington, it amounts to a declaration of war,” said Major General Nelson A. Miles yesterday in Chicago, alluding to the report that the do minion bas increased its armed force on the great lakes. “I do not want to be quoted as saying that Canada or Great Britain means war," said Gen. Miles, “The fact is, though, that these three vessels are in direct violation of the treaty of | 1817, which limits the war vessels that either our government or Great Britain can maintain on the lakes to @ certain number and limits their gun power. Tie action of the Canadian of | scribed by the officers of the revenue marine | service violates the treaty in both particulars. | The President is favorably considering the invitation to become a non-resident professor his official term, and will probably deliver a series of law lectures before the students of that institution, The Monterey, the new coast defense vessel, was given a preliminary run on San Francisco bay Monda: - Are Society Women .
