In Sheriff McCleary's office Mesers, Weihe and Wakenight of the Amalgamated Associa- tion, Knox and Reed, representing the Carnegie Steel Company, the sheriff and R. B. Petty, his attorney, were in consultation for two hours, and then Messrs. Knox and Reed and R. B Petty left and weat to consult with H. C. Frick. Mr. Weihe said: “I am here to see if this matter cannot be arranged, and I am hopeful this. day will see the trouble ended. I believe the whole question can be peaceably arranged and no more bloodshed follow. The attorneys for the Carnegies and the sheriff are now in consultation, and I hope for good results.” ‘THE PINKERTONS WERE DEPUTY SHERIFFS. Mr. Lovejoy, secretary of the Carnegie Steel Company, today said the men who went up on the boat were deputy sheriffs and were sworn in by Deputy Sheriff Gray, who went up on the boat with them. He added that the cotapany was not responsible for any trouble, as the whole matter was now in the hands of the sheriff. ‘Sheriff McCleary was awakened at 3 o'clock this morning and asked by whose authority armed men were being sent to Homestead by river. ] Beuber Forest was shot through the heart at 930 a.m. Another Hungarian was taken to ‘the temporary hospital dying. The Pinkertons seem about to make another move to land. | ‘Their boat is almost riddled with bullets. De- wilder has just received two wounds and David Sutter reported as killed.

V. and C. oad for the purpose of firing the boat in the river. They expect to set the river on fire. The men have placed a cannon on the hill on the north side of the river and ‘are firing into the boat. Balls and pieces of iron are being used, and at every shot the boat's side is penetrated and pieces thrown into» the air. No move has been made to stop the hooting.

The locked-out men had gained entire possession of the company’s lava- tory, and in this their ammunition is stored. ‘The workmen have at least 500 rifles in their possession. At 11 o'clock the men reported that they were out of ammunition and the com- mittee was immediately sent after more., At 11:30 a.m. the boat Little Bill, which towed the barges to Homestead, was seen com- ing down the river, a large United States flag flying from the masthead. The appearance of the boat was a signal along the river front for renewed activity, both on and off the barges. “She's coming to take the barges away,” was the cry raised on the shore. ‘As the boat came nearer it was seen that she carried a squad of armed men, who were lined on the side next the Homestead mills, When opposite the converting department | the men on the boat opened fire on those | on the shore. For ten minutes firing continued, | the Pinkertons on the barges joining the men | on the boatin the shooting. The men on the | bank returned the fire from behind furnace | stacks, which they used as a shield. So warm was the fire from the shore that the men on the boat were driven to cover. Several men on the boat were seen to fall, and it is certain that they were wounded. No one on shore was injured by the firing from the boats. The Little Bill made an at- futile, owing to the shower of bullets from the shore, and the towboat passed down the river, leaving the occupants of the barges in very un- comfortable quarters. ‘TRYING TO FIRE THE BARGES AGAIN. ‘The attempt to eet fire to the barges did not Prove successful by the raft process and an- other attempt was made. From the converting départment of the mill to the edge of the river where the barges are moored runs a switch. On this was run a car filled with barrels of oil, umber and waste. To this a lighted torch was applied and the car ent loose.

Just then the steamer Little Bill pulled in be- | tween the barges and the shore, but on reach- | ing the water the car of fire came to a stop. The heat, however, was intense and the little| steamer was soon smoking hot. HOOTING KEPT UP. All this time a continuous fire was kept up and it is estimated that 1,000 shots were ex- changed during this brief engagement. For | some unknown reason those in charge of the cannon on the opposite shore did not fire a shot during the battle. ‘The steamer Little Bill, which had evidently received a fresh supply of ammunition and re- inforcements of Pinkertons, continued down the river. A ten-pound cannon has just been planted at the main entrance to the mill. The situation at noon is quiet, though the battle is likely to be renewed at any moment. ‘THE SITUATION AT NOON. Prrrecre, Pa, July 6.—Ex-Sheriff Gray re- turned from Homestead at noon. He describes the situation as terrible. A report was in cir- culation that he had sworn in all the Pinkerton men as deputy eheriffs." This he denies. Col. Gray says the strikers fired on the Pinker- ton men first and that a constant volley was kept up from Six-mile ferry until the boat landed. Lieut. Col. W. C. Connelly, jr., the only staff officer of Gov. Pattison’s staff in Pittsburg, had not, at 1 o'clock this afternoon, received any communication from the governor. ——>—— WHAT A REPORTER SAW.

The main fight was at that time being made near @ huge oil tank on | the river front, one mile from Homestead. Here the reporter saw one of the workers Vreathe his last. The man was standing near the Baltimore and Ohio tracks firing a twenty-pound cannon, trying to sink the barges on which were the Pinkertons, His shots went wide of the mark. A moment later ‘the mill worker's head was almost severed from his body by a shot from a Winchester rifle in the hands of a Pinkerton. Hugh O'Donnell, one of the most conservative men here, was seen bya reporter. When de- picting the early morning scenes he wept as numbers of men gathered around to hear the story. It certainly was a sight as the cannons and guns pealed forth their thunder. O'Donnell, summing up sufficient courage, said: “‘At the first shrill sound of the house and dragged me out of bed- In a half- drewsed condition I rushed to the scene, and on the way met Capt. 0. C. Coon of the eighteenth regiment and John Flinn. With these men we went right to the front, standing onthe river bank with 3,000 men who were shouting and yelling and eager for the fray. I could scarcely be heard. Capt. Coon then took shouted to the men, ‘For God's sake put down Mr. O'Donnell was shot in the hand while at- ing. In speaking of the trouble Mr. O'Donnell VIEW OF THE STEEL MILL ordered to take charge of the men and protect the property, and he did this the best he knew “The odds were against us,” said the captain, “and it was hard to do anything.

They Are Fitted Up With All Living Ac- commodations. Prrrsavne, July 6.—The model barges which carried the Pinkertons to Homestead were named the Iron Mountain and Monongahela. They were formerly owned by the Tennessee Navigation Company, but were sold last week by the United States marshal to the present owner. ‘Yesterday afternoon a representative of the Associated Press found the two barges at the landing of the Tide Coal Company. From the bank large stacks of cots could be seen on the barges. A model barge is built some@Mat dif- ferent from the ordinary coal barge, and, in- stead of being open, is covered on the top and sides. They are about 125 feet in length and 20 in width. In the bow end of the Iron Mountain was stacked the bed clothing and cots. About the center of the barge there were long tables | erected on either side of the boat. In the aft end a good-sized kitchen wns being fitted up. A large ice box filled with ice was near the kitchen and a inrge shed was being made for coal. men in charge said arrangements were being made to accommodate 500 men, while on the barge Monongahela as many more could be ac- commodated. Nothing but cots were stored on the Monongahela. John Clark of the tow boat Coal City is steward and had a corps of twenty waiters and cooks. s sit Ee Ged CARNEGIE AND HIS WORKMEN. ‘The Labor Troubles at Homestead Leading to Today’s Exciting Events. The trouble feared by the residents of Mif- flin township in case the Carnegie Steel Com-| pany undertook to place armed guards in the works at Homestead was proved by the events of today not to be entirely imaginary. The people of Homestead offered yesterday. as stated in the news dispatches, to put from 50 to 500 of their best men inside the mill to guard the property, and to give a bond of $10,000 for the faithful vigilance of each man, rather than have deputy sheriffs or was refused. The struggle at Homestead is between the Carnegie Company and the Amal- gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. Conferences were held last week between the Carnegie board, of which H. C. Frick is chair- man, and representatives of the Amalgamated Association regarding n new scale of prices sub- mitted by the labor organization and to which the company objected. THE NEGOTIATIONS. ‘The negotiations were short. Chairman Frick submitted a scale which had steel billets at $220 ton asa minimum. This was a 12 per cent reduction on the scale which has just ex- pired. In addition there were reductions of wages upon the $22 basis. Theso reductions run from 12 to 40 per cent for each workman.
