BY A RUSSIAN ANARCHIST.

The Chairman of the Carnegie Steel As

IB Proud of Kla Act The News
Causes Great Excitement
Throughout the Country.
PITTSBURO , Pa , , Suly 23. H.C. Friclr ,
chairman of the great Carnegie Iron
and steel company and the man gener
ally held mainly responsible for the
present trouble at Homestead and
elsewhere , was shot at 1:55 o'clock
this afternoon by a man named Alex
ander Berkman , who lives on Forty-
second street , New York city. lie is
a Russian Jew and is supposed to bean
an anarchist.
This morning Berkman called sev
eral times at Mr. Frick's office. He
stated that his business was of a pri
vate nature. Mr. Frick was too busy
\
HKNKV C. FIUCIv.
to see callers but finally the man
gained admission. Evidently some
words were exchanged , and as the
pistol was displayed , Mr. Frick turned
around the table. This is why the
shots all took effect in the back and
back of the neck.
The would-be assassin had frequent
ly been in Mr. Frick's office and was
admitted to-day without question. Mr.
Frick was alone and what passed be
tween them is not yet known. Secre
tary Leishmau rushed in and grabbed
the man. who turned on him , but was
overpowered. The police was then
summoned and the man taken to Cen
tral station.
One of the Carnegie clerics who came
to the door after the shooting occurred
said : "We were all busily engaged at
work. The door leading from the
hallway stood open. Mr. Frick was
alone in his private office. Sudden
ly we were all startled by a noise
which sounded like the swinging of a
door. About half a minute after
ward four pistol shots broke the still
ness of the office and just then a man.
darted out from Mr. Frick's private
office. It was then we realized what
had occurred , and , running to Mr.
Frick , found him lying upon the floor
with his hand near his heart As the
assassin reached the stairway he was
intercepted Ijy some men who had
heard the shots fired and they stopped
him. "
David Fortney , the elevator man ,
said that the would-be assassin had
been in and about the building for
three days. Six or eight times he had
taken him up in the elevator. Each
time he asked to see Mr. Bosworth of
the Frick company. Fortney said he
never liked the locks of the man ,
whom he described as a Hebrew , with
a mean , sneaking look.
The shooting was done with a Hop
kins & Allen 38-caliber revolver. Four
chambers of it are empty.
Berkman said he was a Rusian Jew
and had been in this country four
years. He came here from New York
only a few days ago. He worked , so he
aid , for the Singer machine company.
Vhile here he stopped at the Mer
chant's hotel.
The "Wretch Proud of His Act.
When Berkman arrived at the Cen
tral police station he presented a most
desperate appearance and looked and
acted the anarchist he is said to be.
His curly hair seemed to be standing
on end and his sallow complexion
was Weached to an ashen white
ness. He was covered from head
to foot with blood , and was very much
excited , but seemed proud of his deed.
When the question was repeated by an.
Associated press representative as to
why he shot Mr. Frick , he said : "Well ,
I guess you know. "
Berkman would not talk further and
was hustled upstairs in the police sta
tion. He was placed in one of the wo
men's cells , which are closed out from
public view and is on the second range.
Mr. Frick had no guards about him
as had been generally reported. Since
the commencement of the trouble he
had never barred his office door and
was easily to be seen on inquiry of-a
doorkeeper. Strangers were of course
asked their business and if the answer
was that it was of a private nature the
reply would be accepted and the vis
itor shown into the room. Mr. Frick
walked about his office building and
on the streets unaccompanied. He
thought no one would molest him.
The excitement over the shooting
was intense. The news -spjresa like
wildfire , and in a few minutes Fifth
avenue in the vicinity of the Carnegie
offices , which-are located inthe same
building"as-the Associaie.dUpress offices ,
was ttiroage'd with aneMfcedcrowd. { < .

Hugh O'Donnell said : "Oh. th.it Is

deeply and visibly affectpd , and it was
with the greatest effort that he couid
control himself.
At the station , Berk < an said that lie
was a Kussian Jew , and that he was
proud of his nationality. He w.u
stripped of all his clothing and
a new suit put on him. He
is evidently a cigarette ficn ! .
His fingers were yellow with
nicotine. He had a common plated ci
garette box with six bullets in it. He
also had jast thirteen : ' .H-oaliber bul
lets. He ha 1 a cheap p'ated silver
watch , which was twe.tty minute
slow and stopped shortly after he
was arrested. He was very uncom
municative and it was on1" after per
sistent questioning that anything was
elicited from him.
A sevond examination was made of
lierkman at 4 o'clock and two dj'na-
mite cartridges were found in his
mouth.
At 4:4f o'clock the physicians sent
out word that Mr. Frick was consider
ed out of danger. All three balls had
been ex . .racted.
Officer McRoberts who assisted in
I'.rro.iling the man , said : "Mr. Frick
va : > standing up when he reached the
room "and several of the clerics had
the fellow down on the floor bath
ing him in the blood of the
mail he attempted to murder. Mr.
Kriuk was one of the bravest fellows I
ever &aw. I don't really believe he
knew he was shot , and when I turned
him around I saw that he had a big
hole in the back of his coat from which
blood was streaming. ' "
Ex-Judge Reed , counsel for the Car
negie company , and Captain llodgers
were admitted , and when Mr. Frick
saw them he smiled. Captain llodgers
said : "Keep up your courage , Frick ;
you are all right. "
Mr. Frick-smiled and said : "Oh , yes ;
I'll be all right , 1 guess. "
HENRY CLAY FRICK.
. Urlef Sketch of tlio Career of the Mil
lionaire Coke Manufacturer.
Henry Clay Frick has been chairman
of the board of trustees of the Carnegie
steel association since July 1 , when all
of Carnegie's interests were consoli
dated. Previous to that time he was
best known as the head of the
H. C. Frick coke company. Al
though he is only 4i years old
he has fought numerous battles
with labor : : t his coke works and has
been victorious in every one. Frick
has been classd as third in the list of
America's great coal kings ,
fay Gould and the Coxe
family of Drifton , Pa. , being re
spectively first and second. He owns \
or controls over 25,000 acres of rich I
i-oal land in Western Pennsylvania. !
Tliis enormous bed of fuel is mainly i
in the Connellsville coking coal region.
The 11. C. Frick coke company has
over 7,000 ovens ; its daily output
is about 12,000 tons and its total pro
duct is larger than that of any other
coke producing company in the
world. His fortune is estimated
at from § 5,000,000 to $8,000,000.
Twenty yearo ago he was a
bookkeeper on a small salary. He
was industrious , saved his money , won
the jvspe.-i of his einplo3"ers and later
entered into bus tie-as for himself. In
Id ! } ' . ) Frick : nteivd his grandfather's
flour mill and distillery at Uraddock
as bookkeepe. While there he
u.scovered the possibilities of
the ioke business. With the
means then at his command he pur
chased an interest in a coal tract near
Hrazil and with several other young
men built fifty coke ovens. This num
ber was boon doubled , more land was
purchased and a second time the num
ber of ovens was doubled , mak
ing 200 in all. In 1873 the
panic came. Frick's partners , embar
rassed by too numerous indorsements ,
were forced to sell their interests ,
which were purchased by friends of
Frick. As the financial distress in
creased , others in the coke business
were forced to sell and Mr. Frick or
his friends xvere on hand to buy.
Ovens which he could not buy he
leased.
Frick carried on the business in his
own name until 1878 , when he sold
one share to F. M. Ferguson of New
York and the If. C. Frick company be
gan its existence. In Ia82 the Carne
gie company bought a large share in
the coke company , and the name was
changed to the H. C. Frick coke
compan3' . It was then the largest
coke company in the world , controll
ing over 12,000 acres of coal Ian3 ,
more than 4,000 ovens and giving em-
ploj'ment to 5,000 men. Several years
later Mr. Frick purchased an interest
in the firm of Carnegie , Phipps & Co. ,
I'ittsburg , and when W. L. Abbott re
tired three months ago Mr. Frick suc
ceeded him as chairman of that com-
nnnv.
The capital stock of the Carnegie
steel association is 525,000,000 , and
when elected chairman of the board of
trustees Mr. Frick was given absolute
control. The Homestead plant is
valued at § 8,000,000. Ten years ago
Mr. Frick married Miss Ada Childs ,
daughter of the late Asa P.
Childs of Pittsburg , who for many
years was at the head of Pennsyl
vania's cotton mills. The union was
blessed with four children , the last of
whom a boy was born during the
recent riot , and on the same day that
the New York Sun published an ed
itorial condemning the action of the
-.tvikers. The boy has since been
named Charles Anderson Dana Frick.

news came of the shooting of Mr.
Frick. They were deeply impressed
and some of , those who had
been foremost in the discus
sions -which had taken place
on the subject of the rela
tions of capital and labor and the
Homestead troubles were plunged into
a thoughtful mood. It was with feel

The Feeling at Homestead.
HOMESTEAD , Pa. , July 23. Strikers
in Homestead are shocked over the
'stfoojtin ? oNH * c- Erick at the hand *
of a craik in Pit' Imrpr. The
first unthinking moment of
some of the men was one of con
demnation of Frick but the cooler
heads , and without exception the
American leaders of the strike , sternly
suppressed these manifestations and
were most outspoken in their denun
ciation of the attempted murder.
Near the Western Union office , a
brawny steel worker droped on his
knees on the sidewalk with clasped
hands and uplifted eyes to thank God.
Friends quickly hustled him away.
MORE MAY GO OUT.
Pressure Helng Hrought to IJeir oil the
Ktigar Thompson Kmployes.
HOMESTEAD , Pa. , June 23. This
morning1 a general , concerted move
ment of the strikers on the Edgar
Thompson steel works at Uraddock ,
the gre * st of the Carnegie plants
now in operation , was began and every
train from here to that point was more
than crowded. The strikers all be
lieve that the Edgar Thompson men
can bo induced to quit work and the
Amalgamated association is ready to
promise everything to the Braddock
men if they will join the sympathy
strike movement.
Despite the gloomy reports from the
coke region the men here do not in
tend to abandon that region without
an attempt to secure aid. For that
purpose it is proposed , if the Ilrad-
dock men strike , to make pmnal
appeals to the coke workers , sen up
Slav orators and agitators , and scatter
broadcast pamphlets bearing on the
strike and appeal to the men to take
advantage of this time and organize.
TVhat with borough officers , special
waU-hmen of the Amalgamated asso
ciation , c-oal and iron police , Carnegie
watchmen , deputy sheriffs and militia ,
this certainty is the most policed town
in the ; world. There are jar more con
servators of the peace than probable
law breakers.
Arbitration to Do Sought.
PITTSBUKG , Pa. , .July 23. There was
no change in the situation at the city
mills of Carnegie to-daj' , and every
thing was quiet.
It is stated that the attorneys of the
Amalgamated association will file a
petition in court asking that the pres
ent troubles between the former work
men at Homestead anil the Carnegie
Steel company be settee I by a board of
arbitration to be appointed by the < ourt
under what is known a the voluntary
arbitration act of 1883. The com
pany's officials say arbitration must be
requested by both sides , which has
not been done. Besides the names of
the strikers have been stricken from
the pay rolls and they are in no . . ; use
employes. One hundred non-union
men were taken to Homestead to-day
by the steamer Tide.

WICHITA , Kan. , July 2. . . A bold at

made last night by two strangers who
hired a buggy here yesterday after
noon. The charge of powder which
blew open the safe was , however , so
noisy that the neighborhood was
awakened and the burglars only just
managed to get away themselves with
out taking any swag. The buggy was
found hitched near by.

The following , clipped from the Burlington
Junction , ( Mo. , ) Post , contains information of
no little value to persons troubled with indi
gestion :
For years the editor of the Post has been
subject to cramp colic or fits of indigestion ,
that prostrated him for several hours and un-
fitied him for business for two or three days
af erward. About a year ago we called on S.
J. Butcher , druggist , and asked for something
to ward off an attack that was already making
life hideous. Mr. Butcher handed us a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cholic , Cholera and Diar
rhoea reniedy. We took the medicine accord
ing to directions , and not only found relief on
: hat occasion , but have several times since
tried its virtues and found relief in eveiy in
stance. We take this method of acknowledg
ing the benefits derived and recommending
: he cure to all others subject to indigestion.
