Homzstzap, Pa., July 6.>-The men having charge of the cannon at the Baltimore and Obio railroad side of the Monongehela river oon- tinued firing this afternoon, and it was appsr- ent that the barges in which the deputies re- mained in retreat must soon sink. g leak was sprung in one of them, caused by the continu- ous fusilade of powder. No man inside the barge dared place himself in view, as any ex- posure would result in death. For this reason the pumps could not be worked, and it was only a question of time when they would sink. Telephone messages were tent to men on the South Side, Pittsburg, requesting them to get the “‘gang” out and come to Homiestead well armed and supplied with ammunition before night. What was meant by the “gang” could not be learned. The sender of the message re- fused to explain. ‘The attempt to fire the barge by the use of burning oil on the surfsce of the river has been abandoned as useless, and the men at the Pumphouse are confining their attention to firing the two cannons and throwing dynamite bombs. THROWING BOMBS, At 1:30 o'clock # man arrived with an armfal of bombs which were thrown at the barge under cover of the pump house, near the rail- way bridge. The men secured something to eat shortly after noon and renewed the cannonading with increased vigor. Thus far no shot from either gun had taken effect. as the pieges could not be depressed to bring the roof of the barge within range. At every shot the small pump house near the water tanks quaked. Bricks and pieces of wood flew out of the door and windows in a manner sufficient to drive back any crowd that might have collegted. The gun kicks so after every discharge that little effective shooting can be done with it, ‘The men said they would get the larger can- non into a better position and could then sink the barge. The bombs all fell wide of the mark. None of the Pinkertons showed themselves, Occasional shots were fired by workmen sta- tioned behind piers on the opposite side of the river. ‘Two thousand mill workers employed at Jones & Loughlins, lic iron works, South Side, picknicked at Kenney's Grove yesterday, One of the officials said that in all probability the entire number would stop off at Munhell sta- tion at 6 p.m. and do their utmost in support of the men who are now at the front of the Dattle, ei ‘The determination to on the com- pany's ground and fight to the bitter‘end was strong ss ever. Although bullets continued to fly about with great rapidity the mob increased instead of decreased. + ‘Five thousand strangers have arrived in town, mostly from the South Side, Pittsburg, A num- ber of these men sre armed. A number of ‘women and children also arrived, but these were taken in charge by the strikérs and sent out of town. The available ‘number of men now at the command of the strikers is at least 10,000, with as many more in readiness to go to the scene of the battle. Pe 4 fh of mill owners looks like s preconcerted scheme to precipitate s battle, Any child inight have ‘known that an attempt to reach the works from ‘the river would result in bloodshed. For all the lives thet have been lost the company is, to myomind, alone responsible. The men on the A gentleman said: “This ection ‘on the patt since the railroad riots of 1877, is only just begun.” ANOTHER DESPERATE ATTEMPT. A desperate attempt to dislodge the Pinker- ton men on the barges was prepared this after- noon, Several barrels of oil were secured, as ‘well as several hundred feet of fire hése. Men | BI were getting the pumps in shapes, The plan was to throw a stream of oil upon the barges and completely saturate them. This ‘done » dynamite bomb was to be thrown from the shore. By this means it was hoped to set fire to the boats, thus compelling the Pinkerton crew to show fight or be drowned or burned. Any attempt to cut the ropes holding the barges would be certain death to those making the attempt, as at least fifty guns were leveled at the opening in the barges through which those on the inside would have to emerge in order to release the boats from their fastenings. ‘Those on shore were confident that the oil and dynamite plan would work and are satisfied | Zor they will be able to remove the Pinkertons be- fore nightfall. In anticipation of the ‘conflict sure to ensue when the pumps are put in operation in the mill yard the»Pittsburg, Virginia and Charles- ton tracks and the hillsides on either side of the river were lined with those in sympathy with the workingmen. It was believed that the climax would be reached within the two hours. It was asserted on good authority that a com- mittee went to Pittsburg this afternoon pro- vided with ample means with which to purchase rifles, ammunition and dynamite. A rumor reached headquarters that twoboats with several barges in tow, loaded with addi- tional Pinkerton men and additional arms and ammunition, had been intercepted at a point six miles down the river. Attempts to confirm the rumor were not successful. A charge from acannon on the opposite shore struck the cover of a barge, tearing away some of the roof. This is about all the damage the men in charge of the cannon were able to do. SCHEME FAILED To WORK. ‘The first attexppt to pump ofl upon the Pink- erton barges failed. The hose was too large. After pumping a few barrels by means of a hand force pump the work was abandoned. A dozen men started for a smaller hose. President Weihe of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation arrived at the scene of the battle at 3:15 o'clock. He went into consultation with some of the leaders at amalgamated headquarters. Accompaning Mr, Weihe were forty iron work- ere from Birmingham, Ala. They came not to go to work, but to get an ides of the situation and if possible render aid to the locked out Homesteaders. CANNON ROAR AND MUSKETRY RATTLE. At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon the cannons were roaring and the rattle of umsketry con- tinued. The sullen explosion of dynamite adds a dangerous element to the conflict. The men threw dynamite cartridges over the bank which alighted near the barges and exploded. The men hoped by this means to blow up the Pinker- tons. It looked as if the imprisoned detectives would never escape alive if nightfalt came and there wasno rescue. The men had another cannon, which they are shooting over the bank- It was sighted too high and the broken pig iron used in place of cannon balls always hit the- river. WHITE FLAG RAISED AGAIX. ‘The Pinkertons raised another white flag at 2:80 o'clock. The arm of the fellow who hoisted it was hit with a bullet. A striker gained admission to the pump house over the barges and shot twice before a volley from the barge drove him out. He believes he killed a guard. ‘The strikers captured s 600-gallon oil tank at the east end of the works at Munhall station. ‘The stuff was set on fire and let into the river, but «strong wind blowing in the opposite di- rection saved the barges a few yards below. Shote were fired from the boate and returned by the strikers. One man on the boat was seen to fall overboard, but his comrades, being afraid to expose themselves to attempt his rescue, the man sank. The men threatened to. capture two other tanks and burn the barges. RUMORS OF REINFORCEMENTS. ‘There was intense excitement over a report that 400 deputies in charge of the sheriff haa left Pittsburg on two barges to join the Pinker- ton people. ‘The cannons were bombarding the barges every few moments, each shot telling and car- ying away pieces of the vessels. The Pinker- tons hid and seldom return the fire. The Pink- | Sine Washington n News and Gossip. Index to Advertisements. casa eaaedageUd ean aad CHa TEUaTEASTAUNREE TET TGETOUTTEAT MISCELLA!

Homzsteap, Pa., July 6.—Capital and labor have clashed at Homestead and the town is red with blood. Never in the bloody history of | riots in thie vicinity since the great railroad riots of 1877 has there been such carnage and such o battle. union men they would burn it over their heads. ‘The story of the battle is hard to tell. In the dark mist of early morning, when the town was quiet, the rumor of the arrival of the boat load of Pinkertons reached Homestead. The word to return without even a tear in their others to part forever on the Mothers stood with babes in their arms, wonder- ing what would be the result if the Pinkerto made sn attempt to land. The most horrible forebodings have been realized, and today there are many homes in | distress, many mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and sweethearts with tears running down their cheeks, mourning the loss of some one who fell by the bullets from that boat, A DAY To BE REMEMBERED. ‘The landing of the Pinkerton boat will ever be remembered at Homestesd, and for genera- tions to come the fathers will tell their children of the bloody battle of the Monongahela, ‘When the boat was sighted by the multitude more intense.

STRIPPING POR ACTION. Just below the Pemicky bridge she partly turned her prow toward the shore and then, | amid the shrieks of steam whistles and the angry groans and hisses from those gathered on | the banks, the occupants of the boate stripped for action. | Each one of them was armed with a Wi Tifle and «ach rifle was loaded to Kill. Slowly the boat «ged toward the land- ing, and when the keris of the barges grated on the sand the grim faces of the #n- vaders were within a few {cet of their oppovents, gathered on the shore. There was ove lonely instant of awful silence and then a bright fish ‘nd @ sharp report announced that the first shot of the battle had been fired. It also proved that the detectives had determined to take ex- | treme measures and, if necessary, fight their way to the mill. Almost immediately after the first shot had j Deen fired the firing became general on buth sides. At first the strikers retreated and for « moment it looked as though they were com- pletely routed, but the men quickly rallied, and | although they retired from the immediate vicwn- | ity of the boats, they held their own, and ty the sheer weight of numbers they compelled the deputies to proceed with caution. ATTEMPTS TO LAND. Up to this time no one had attempted fo leave the boat, but suddenly fifty or more of | the invaders attempted to jump ashore. The | strikers responded with « sharp volley, and so | thick and fast came the bullets that the depa- ties retired to the semi-sbelter of the lower deck. It was in this attempt to force the fighting that the Pinkerton men sustained their must serious loss. Their captain was carried to the pilot house of the steamer. One of his men in- | formed the Associated Press reporter that «l- | though the wound was serious, {t was not fate, , Directly after this episode both ides rested for few moments, and then after another sharp volley, which did little or no damage to either side, hostilities consed. PINKERTON'S SEEK SHELTER. At 7 o'clock all was quict, the Pinkerton's bef not yet succeeded in landing. After the first attempt, in which they were repulsed, they sought shelter in the lower decks of the Tide. ‘The boat is anchored about twenty-five yards out from the river bank. The captain of the Pinkertons, whose name could not be learned, was very seriously wounded. chim ~tacoa THE SECOND BATTLE, Fighting Was Keeumed at Homestead Soon After 7 O'Clock. Prrranona, Pa., July 6, 8:90 a.m.—The fight- ing between the Pinkerton forces and the worb- men Was renewed shortly after 7 o'clock and the battle continued for fully half an hour, The second conflict was precipitated when au- ‘other effort was made by the Pinkerton men to effect « landing A number of workmen were injured in the second encounter, but their names cannot be obtained st this writing. The wildest excitement is prevailing in thetown. Thousands of workmen from all the surrounding places are reported to be marching toward Homestead to reinforce the: workers that have made such « vigorous and unexpected resistance to the attempts to laud the hated Pinkerton detectives. In the second engagement at 7:30 a.m. Henry Btreagel was killed and some wounded. Wil- liam Foy was shot and killed at the first om gagement. The bodies of both men were taken home. Great excitement prevails. The workmen have built a fortification of steel bars in the river bank, and over 1,000 men F i a ff H i f i : if i Itt on the two barges.
