It was in this way thet Morris ‘was shot. He was standing behind the pumps house. The men had received ammunition and guns. ‘They are better prepared than last night. They swear that the Pinkertons will never land while @ man remains in Homestead. The town is wild with excitement. Every moment the situation becomes more critical. Petty left and went to consult with H. C. Frick. ‘Mr. Weihe said: “I em bere tosceif this matter cannot be arranged, end I am hopeful this day will sce the trouble ended. I believe Mr. Lovejoy? secretary of the Carnegie Steel Company, today mid the men who went up on the boat were deputy sheriffs and were sworn in by Sheriff Gray, who went up on the bost with them. He added that the company was not responsible for any trouble, as the whole matter was now in the hands of the sheriff. Sheriff McCleary was swakened at 3 o'clock this morning and asked by whose authority armed men were being sent to Homestead by le WEST PORTION OF THE CARNEGIE PLANT. Beuber Forest was shot through the heart at 9:30 gm. Another Hungarian was taken to the tempordry hospital dying. The Pinkertons seem about to make another move to land. ‘Their boat is almost riddled with bullet, De- wilder has just received two wounds and David Sutter reported as killed. files Waynes has Just been carried down the street dead. 10:50 a, m.—The strikers have fired a car of oil standing near the works on the P. V. and C. | road for the purpose of firing the boat in the river. They expect to set the river| on fire. The men have placed & cannon | on the hill on the north side of| the river and are firing imto the Doat. 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 shooting. Not ssoul| ean be seen on th» boat and no word can be gotten from or to it. ‘The strikers claim at least five men on the boat were killed or fatally injured. One man/ alone says he saw six fall.

Every possible form of firearms is! being gathered and shot guns are being loaded | | with buckshot. pe WHAT THE DEPUTIES SAY. It is Claimed That They Acted om the De-| fensive. Prrrsevno, Pa., July 6—Capt. P. H, Hein, who had charge of the Pinkerton men at/ Homestead, has been brought to the Homeo-| pathic hospital in this city at noon with five companions who were wounded. ‘The list of Pinkerton men st the hospital is as follows: Fatally injared—J. W. Kilne, shot in was going up, but it does not go by my authority.” “Then the men are not deputized by you?” “No, sir.” “It is rumored that you bave turned the matter over to the Murphy Detective Agency. Is that true?” “No, sir, it is not.” “Your next appeal will be to the governor, will it not?” “Yes. This ma dor is assuming a very serious aspect. I will hold another conference in the morning.” The sheriff did not state with whom he would confer. Beyond this the sheriff dectined to dis- cuss the matter. CALLING ON THE GOVERNOR. Sherif MeCleary Says That He Cannot Queil the Disorder. Prrrssvune, Pa., July 6.—In answer to the governor's message Sheriff McCleary sent the following: “The works at Homestead are in possession of anarmed mob. They number thousands. The mill owners this morning attempted to lands number of watchmen when an attack was made on the boats and six men on the boats were badly wounded. A number of the men on shore were killed and wounded; how many cannot say, The boat later came down stream and was fired upon from the shore and the pilot was compelled to abandon his position. I have no means at my command to meet the emergency. A large force will be required, and any delay may lead to further bloodshed and great destruction of property. You are therefore urged to act at once. “W. H. McCuzany, Sheriff.” Hunuissvas, Pa., July 6.—In response to the telegram of Sheriff McCleary of Allegheny ‘The Steamer Little Bill Received by the Strikers With Bullets, Homxsrzap, Pa.,. July 6.—Near the lavatory one man aimed his rifle and the next instant « At 11:30 a.m. the boat Little Bill, which towéd the barges to Homestead, was secn com- ing down the river,» large United States fag flying from the masthead. The appearance of the boat was a signal along the river front for renewed ectivity, both on and off the barges. “She's coming to take the barges away,” was the cry raised on the shore. As the bopt 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 boat in 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 tocover. Several men on the Doat 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- tempt to tie up with the barges, but this was futile, owing to the shower of bullets from the shore, and the towbost passed down the river, Jeaving the cecypants of the barges in very un- comfortable quarters. TRYING TO FIRE THE BARGTS AGAIN. ‘The attempt to set fire to the barges did not prove successful by the raft process and an- other attempt was made. From the converting department of the mill to the edge of the river where the barges are moored runs aswitch. On this was runs car filled with barrels of oil, lumber and waste. ‘To this a lighted. torch was epphed and the car cut loose, The fames sprang up a distance of a hundred feet, while volumes of smoke rolled heavenward. The crowds on the hillsides overlooking the scenes sent np a lusty shout as word reached them of the intended burning of the barges and all on board. The car of fire rushed down the steep incline in the direction of the barges end the men on the barges watched its approach with blanched faces. Just then the steamer Little Bill pulled in be- tween the barges und the shore, but on reach- ing the water the car of fire came to # stop. The heat, however, was intense and the little steamer was All this time s continuous fire was kept up and it is estimated that 1,000 shots were ox- 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.

Russel Wells, shot in right shoulder. J. G. Hoffman, shot ip right leg, David Lester, shot in head, seriously injured. Another man was shot in the arm, but he left the hospital and the authorities did not know bis name. The above is a complete list of the injared brought to the hospital. One other man was injured who will arrive at the hospital later. Capt. Hein, one of the injured, hes been in employ of the Pinkertous for matiy years and has bad charge of the men in several strikes. He was always considered a very conservative man. When seen in one of the rooms at the hos- pital this afternodn Capt, Hein seid: “I had whistle biew and immediately the strikers com- menced to shoot. To protect ourselves we had to return the fire. Seven or eight of our men are burt, but I do not know their names,” Capt. Hein also stated that he did not know wuch about the strike, but that he hed been “Local authorities must exheust every means at their command.” Several more dispatches were received, and the governor, seeing that the situation was becom- ing desperate, had a private consultation with Attorney General Hensel and of the Commonwealth Harrity as to what would be the Pamaperrst, July 6—Adjutant General 'W. W. Greenland was here this morning to consult with the officers of the first brigade, Natioval Guards of Pennsylvania, the coming annual encampments.

Hein, who |{s now in the Homeopethic Hospital with a badly wounded leg, describes, the scenes while the boats were passing up the river and during the fatile attempts to land the men. “When we reached the Baltimore and Qhio bridge above Glenwood,” said he, “‘the time was about 8 a.m, There was a heavy fog, but we could hear shouts and calls of mém, women and children from the Homestead sidé.. As we neared the works firing commenced from the, bank and the rattle of disc was like the whirr of bees. The boat Wy the center of the two barges steamed up to aburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny railroad bridge at the steel works and then backed down to the landing. When ‘the barge next the shore swung in one of our men and myself threw a plank ashore. The firiag had then ceased and we could by thie time'see swarms of people crowding from the tafl bank right down to the water's edge. As soon as the plank was thrown ashore Kline, in advance, apd my- self started down the plank. Kline renched the shore and { sawhim scuffing with some men. Then the firing commenced, and before T had taken two steps on the plank I received » shot in the leg and fell on the plank with my shoulders on the deck. Afterward the boat Pulled out and steamed to Port Perry, where we were placed on board of » Baltimore and Ohio train and brought to the city.” fitness eS. THE PINKERTONS’ BARGES. They Are Fitted Up With All Living Ac commodations. Prrresvno, 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's representative of the Associated Press found the two barges at the landing of the Tide Coal Company. From the dank large stacks of cots could be seen on the Barges, A model barge is built somewhat 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. stacked the bed clothing and cots. About the center of the barge there were long tables erected on either side of the boat. Ip the aft end a good-sized kitchen was being fitted u A large ice box filed with ice was near tho kitchen and « iarge shed was’ being made for coal. Provisions were brought on board and the men in chargo said arrangements: were being made to accommodate 500 men, wiiile on the barge Monongahela as many more could be ac- commodated. Nothing but cots were stored on The situation at noon is quiet, thongh the battle is likely to be renewed at any moment. ‘THE SITUATION AT NOON, Prrresvno, Pa, July 6.—Ex-Sheriff Gray re- turned from Homestead at noon. He desoribes the situation as terrible. A report was in cir- culation that he had sworn in all the Pinkerton men as deputy sheriffs. This he denios. 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 tho 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. peers eerahlay WHAT A REPORTER 6AW. He Went to the Front of the Line of Hougsrzap, Pa., July 6.—At 10 s, m. the chief leader of the workmen, secompanied by a reporter, went to the front of the line of battle. The main fight was at that time being made nesr = huge ofl tank on the river front, one mile from Homestead. Here the reporter sew one of the workers breathe 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 » Winchester rifle in the bands of a Pinkerton. Hugh O'Donnell, one of the most conservative men here, was scen. by ® 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 water works whistle a messenger rushed to my house and dragged me out of bed. In = balf- dressed condition I rushed to the scene, and on the way met Capt. 0. C. Coon of the eighteenth regiment and John Flinn.
