PrrrsnuHO , Pa. , July 30 "We will
have over 1,000 men in the yard of the
Homestead mill by to-night , " said Sec
retary Lovejoy this morning. "A large
number will go up to-day by train and
boat and they are coming into the city
from all directions. There are a num
ber of our old men at work I
she : ' 1 IVk at least fifty. By Monday
we will have over 1,500 m.511. at work ,
among- them being skilled workmen ,
equal to the best of our old meu , and
we are entirely satis Bed with the work
they have done and the manner in
wbk-h they doit , the time occupied and ,
in fact , everything is satisfactory.
We will have enough men on hand
Monday to make an excellent start in
all departments and are confident
there will be no further delay in get
ting all the departments running full
by the end of the week. When this is
done we will attend to starting our
other plants , but not until we get tile
Homestead mill in full operation. "
huige M.igee's decision in the
Critrhlow ease lias eaused a Miiall-
fiized exodus from Homestead. The
ollieers from Alderman MeMaster's
otiice have been making- diligent search
for the other Homestead rioters , but
they are unable to find any trace of
them about their accustomed haunts.

effects of about , sixty families wore
moved from company houses. It was
done quietlv. The vacant houses are
to be Oi cupied by non-union workmen
as soon as they fan be put in good
order. Th - vnarge is made by the mill
people that during the last few days
the evicted tenants broke manj- windows
dews and doors and otherwise de
stroyed property.
Treasurer Carry said this morning
that contracts for thirty-five houses of
the new Carnegie extension had i jeii
let , ai.l they would be rushed to
completion as rapidly as possible.
Meanwhile arrangements have been
made to accommodate 2,000 men in the
w or Its.
The advisory committee is confident
that by the middle of next week it can
induce one-half of the men now work
ing' to come out. Just what the plan
to be pursued has not been made
public , but a member stated that
strong influences were working toward
that end.
Chief Murphy of Allegheny and Su
perintendent O'Mara of this city held
a long conference this morning and
mapped out a plan of dealing with the
anarchists , but refused to give any of
the details. It is rumored to-day
than the anarchists intended to go af
ter the millionaires in Pittsburgh but
the police do not anticipate any trou
ble. Threatening letters are still
being received by officials of the Car
negie company and special oflicers are
kept on guard about the premises.
The authorities have been notified
that New York "reds" will be called
upon to take up a collection for Borg-
man's defense. The impression is grow
ing1 in police circles that the condemna
tion of Bergman by the Anarchists was
only for effect and that the plans of
the proposed assassination were known
and the work done at the suggestion
of the organization.
John M. Dickson , a clerk in the
Homestead mill , who is an important
witness in the riot cases , entered suit
to-day against Emory Spiers ami a
number of others for surety of the
peace. He alleges that his life has
been threatened if he persists in te ° .ti-
fj-ing against the rioters. Spiers has
been arrested and locked up for a
"hearing on Tuesday. Other arrests
-will follow.

"Do you think the trouble is over ? ' '
"By no means. The bad fealin ; i- .

will remain at Homestead. Su h .if

They believe that \yorisare , theirs

ALICE MITCHELL A MANIAC.
The Notorious Memphis Case Kndcd for
tlic I'ri-scnt.
MEMPHIS , Term. , Aug. 1. A large
crowd was in attendance in the crim
inal court to-day to hear Judge J. J.
Dubose deliver his charge to the jury
in the notorious case of Alice Mitchell ,
the murderess of Freda Ward , on trial
as to her sanity.
The defendant appeared calm and
collected during the reading of the
charge , the time occupied in its de
livery being fifteen minutes , the ques
tion of the sanity or insanity of the
prisoner at the time being the only
question considered. The jury retired
at 'J:30 : o'clock and twenty minutes
later return ' 1 to the court room with
the following verdict :
We , the jury , find the defendant. Alice
Mitchell , insane : : ud believe it woull en
danger the safety of the community to set
her at liberty.M.
M. C. GALLAWAT , Foreman. .
Alice Mitchell was then remanded
to the custody of the sheriff and will
be ordered placed in an insane asylum.
Should she be released as sane at any
time , she can be then placed upon
trial , on the charge of murder , as she
was only tried as to her mental sound
ness or unsoundness , at the time of
her trial , the question as to her men
tal condition at the time of the com
mission of the homicide not being
touched upon.
When the verdict was read by the
clerk a faint smile spread over the de
fendant's features , as if she had been
confident of the jury's verdict. She
was taken to jail , gaily chatting as she
went , and will be sent to one of the
state insane as3'lums.
