It is eiecied that the amalga

the rnsii ,.r jmsi 1 ions tomor
row morning. According to
Stiperinten lent Wood of the Home
stead works, not more than MM 01
'M) of the total number of the old
employes will be able to secure
cmplo inent. Ilelore the breali ot
ln-t Thursd i.v there were left in
llomestei'l about L',.M)() (,f tK.
original n,s,K) men who were locked
out on the '-',th of June.
Of these U J. men, 'JJd ) were m'-
chatiics and laborers and GDI) were
amalgamated iissociation men. I'p
to date 1.1(10 have applied fur em
ployment and it is estimated th it
not more than :ilO men have been
supplied with employment. 1 he
question of declaring the mill open
bewail to agitate the minds of cer
tain amalgamated men as noon u
it became apparent that the mechan
ics intended breaking away in
a body. Not only the rank and file,
but many of the leaders, recognized
that without the numerical aid of
the niechauicH and laborers they
could not hope, to carry the day.
Money, or lack of it, also became an
imp mailt factor. The failure to re
ceive promised money of larjre
amounts, followed by the bottom
dropping ,,it of the promise of vic
tory for the Mrikerx in the event of
the democratic party coming into
power, together with the unfulfill
meut of other promises, all came in
for consideration. They could not
subsist on promises and so told the
leaders, who.seeinjr that it was hope
less to try to hold the men together
longer, took steps to play their
brethren upon equal footing with
the mechanics in the great rush for
work.
Saturday's meeting was attended
exclusively by amalgamated asso
ciation members, much to the cha
grin and disappointment of the
sympathizing mechanics who were
turned aside. They turned to their
homes in silence, 1iope dead within
them.
The meetin y was not a large one,
and considerable surprise attended
the announced resignation of Chair
man Crawford. When this resigna
tion had been accepted a striker
arose and moved that the lockout
be declared at an end and that the
men be allowed to seek employment
in the Homestead mill. Discus
sion of this question continued
until 6 p. ni., when the meeting ad
journed without result. This morn
ing the same question was taken up
but those for and against such to a
vote, so evenly were they divided.
Only about 300 incu attended to
day's meeting. Those opposed to
bringing the light to an end strug
gled hard to prevent the ballot,
pleading, arguing and predicting
the disintergation of the amalga
mated association in the event of
such action. They stated that they
would prefer nakedness and starva
tion rather than acknowledge they
were iu the minority, and they
knew it, yet they pleaded with their
brethern to atand firm if for no
other reason than to show to the
world that they had not forgotten
the men who were lying in piison
cells awaiting trial. It was of no
avail. The question was pill.
When Vice-l'rcsidci't Carney an
notinced the result tl ere was no
joyous outhur.-t. There was no
demonstration such as that which
follows the standing vote of the
mechanics declaring themselves in
dependent of the amalgamated as
sociation, I'or a few minutes the
men sat and stared at each other
Then followed angry denuncia
tions. The men slow ly left the hall
iu twos and threes. They seemed
loth to leave the building the very
rafters of which have quivered with
the declarations made a thousand
imes the victory was theirs if they
would anly be patient.

A HALT MII.UOX HLAZi:.

very dinar-Irons lire occurred' h"re
Ihiw lifter. 10011 about '1 o'clock. The
Desha r, in her iNc Planing com
pany's noil was burned to the
ground, with an immense amount
of lumber iu their yards. Their
loss will probably foot up !fiS!)0,KX).
The mill was said to be the linest
one iu the south. There were quite
a number of dwellings burned also.
Judge J. Murphy had three dwell
ings, valued at about !f;t,000, de
stroyed. The mill employed about
;t00 men, wdio ar; now thrown out of
employment. Your correspondent
was about the lirst person on the
ground after the alarm was given.
The origin of the lire unknown,
Thin plant was owned by a Boston
company, and iu charge of Mr. A.
Kimball, general manager. The
wind was blowing a terrific gale lit
the time, and all attempts to sub
due the flames were useless, until
everything combustible iu itsjpath
had been destroyed.
AXDKKSOX tin plate works.
Axiii-kson, I.D., November 20.
The burning of the Anderson tin
plate works last night is the sub
ject of much talk, and the matter
will be given thorough investiga
tion. The mill was doimr a profit
able business, being run by Court
land C. Clarke of Anderson and S.
V. Allerton of Chicago. These gen
tlemeii own and operate the Arcaee
File Works, and took charge of the
tin plate mill when the owner, C. H.
Orvis, became embarrassed finan
cially and had to shut down, They
have an office at No. 21 Lake street,
Chicago, and the tin produced was
quickly sold. It now develops that
an attempt was made to burn the
mill Friday night while Watchman
Foust was in a room in the mill.
The door was slammed and locked
and the building fired. He kicked
the door down and extinguished
the flames. Last night the entire
front end of the building was doped
with Kerosene and a match applied
and it burned like tinder. The only
person to whom suspicion is ap
pled is a discharged employe, who
has been seen loitering around the
building. The loss on factory and
machinery reaches $20,000, partially
insured. Raw material and finished
product to the amount of $7,000 was
burned. It was insured for $4,200. It
ia probable that detectives will be
employed on the case. Mr. Clarke
will not say whether the factory
will be rebuilt.

JoiIX KAMSKII, badly burned

The explosion did comparatively
little damages so far as is now
known, to the mine or its equip
ment. That more of the miners were not
suffocated was due to the prompt
action of Miners James Clark and
James Borden, who, when the big
door that closes the draft was
blown from its fastening, quickly
placed it in position again.
The works belong to L. B. Smith
of New Cumberland, William Smith
and John McNulta of Wellsville,
Ohio.
The mine has. been iu opcrap'on
since May, 18iH, and fifty men wen
employed there today.
There is still one man unac
counted for in connection with the
disaster today, a miner named John
Hully.

spectacle of the democrat in the
Speaker's chair of the Kansas legis
lature is not an improbability.
There will be but three democrats
in that body, and will hold the bid
mice of power. One of them will
open headquarters in a (kiy or two
and make the rac4for Speaker. His
name is Joseph Koenthal,and he in
a banker at Santo i'V, Haskell
county. A dicker with the republi
can bosses is reported, by the
terms of which lvoc-uthal proposes
to help them orgaui.e the House.
He thinks that the contest can be
made successfully. Thi would
mean a rt-publicau successor to

posed fusion.

is expected they will act with the
