Newspaper Page TextHomestead, Pa., .’uly 6.—Early in Uoi-uing 300 Pinkertons attempted to laud nt the Carnegia works from a barge towed by a steamer. - The strikers tore dovrn tbo fence Bnr- ronnding the works, and formed in line fuciug the landing. The Pinkerton’s fired on the crew and the fire was promptly returned. Several were killed and many wounded on both Bides. The Bteamer left. The strikers cov ered the river with oil and fired it. The barge is surrounded by burning oil. The Pinkertons are firing steadily, bnt it looks now as if all will be burned alive. The river is stained with blood, and the strikers are firiug on the barge with cannon. It was exactly 4 o’clock when the steamer and barge were sighted by the watcbes gathered on the river banks one mile below the town. Directly the fleet; was sighted, three messengers, each mounted on fresh horses, started for Homestead, shouting as they went in advance of the dreaded barges. Some one uotified the engineer at the electric light works and for a second time the harsh-voiced whistle sonuded the gen eral alarm. The people, responded with wonderfal alacrity. There were old men and young men, elderly women, mothers with their babes in their arms, and any number of children. The throng headed to the river. The day was just dawn ing, and clouds of thick, grayish vapor hting over the waters. Suddenly from out the shadows were seen the lights of the steamer. On either side of her were barges. In a moment the people on the bunk caught a glimpse of the flotilla. From Homestead to the pump house it is a good two miles, and yet, all things considered, these half-dressed men and women made the journey in record-breaking time. Once there, they gathered in one solid mass, the women, or, at least, most of them, on the out skirts. The front rank of this solid wall of humanity stood at the water’s very edge, and every moment the crowd grew in numbers and determination. Slowly the tide brought her silent consort down the channel. .Tnst below the Penuicky bridge she partly turned her prow toward the shore and then, amid the shrieks of steam whistles and angry groans and hisses from those gathered on the banks, the occupants of the boats stripped for action. Each one of them was armed with a Win chester rifle, and each rifle was loaded to kill. As the boat approached within a few feet of the landing, there was an instant of awful silence, and then a bright flash aud a sharp report announced that the first shot of the battle had been fired. Almost immediately after the first shot was fired, the firiug became general on botn sides. Up to to this time no one had attempt ed to leave the Wat, but suddenly fifty -<\r more of the invaders attempted to jump ashore. It was in this attempt ‘to force the fighting that the Pinkerton men sus tained their most serious loss. Their captain was carried to the pilot hous^ on the steamer. One of his men in formed the Associated Press reporter that, although his w*oand was serious, it was not fatal. About 9 o’clock a general fire took place; the strikers attacking the barges frdm both sides of the river. It is said four Pinkertons were killed in the last scrimmage. Their bodies fell from the barge into the river. Gov. Better a prominent citi zen had his thigh shattered. It is stated that the captain of the Pinkerton detectives and five of his men are dead. Eleven men were carried from the river bank badly wounded. A cannon has been planted on the river bank to be brought to bear on the Pink ertons. „ ANOTHER BATTLE. Thousands of Working Men Marching to Reinforce the Strikers. Pittsburg, Pa., July 6.—The fighting at Homestead was resumed shortly af ter 7 o’clock, and continued a half honr. Thousands of working men from the surrounding places are reported march ing toward Homestead to reinforce the workers who have made each a vigorous and unexpected resistance to the at tempted landing. lu the second engagement Henry Etrugle was killed and some wounded. The workmen have built a fortification of steel bars on the river bank aud over a thousand men are in it. Already fonr of the locked out men have been killed and six more were shot at the second attempt at 8 o’clock. The captain of the tug is dead and one of Pinkerton’s men is dead. THERE IS DOUBT As to Whether Gladstone WUl be Suc cessful. London, July 8.—The leading feat ures of todaj’s elections were liberal victories in five of the metropolitan dis trict?, the defeat of Cabinet Minister Ritchie and the trinmph of Conserva tive Alderman Hammond in New Cas tle. The successors in London have given new heart to the liberals. Their lailure to capture the provincial bor ough?, where literal msij rities were deemed secure, made the general out look gloomy for a time. L ndon is aton ing for alL It is now established be yond a doubt that many of the metro politan districts, especially the wo.king class centers, have experienced a pro found revulsion. of feel ng and have adopted with ardor the main points of the New Castle platform. Home rale had absolutely nothing to do with D"? change. The platform of each of the successful candidates gave prominence solely to social questions and metropolitan local reforms. The progressists’ programme which recently revolutionized the Lon don county council, has again been a potent factor in outing and conserva tives. Been, who defeated Minister Ritchie, is a progressive member of the London county council, and is a large employer ollibor. He was backed by the trade unionists. The same in fluences ruled in the conservative de- i fits in the other London districts. Ritchie’s disappearance from parlia ment will not last long. He is too use ful a man as minister and & m imber ot the house to be allowed to remain in re treat. • - T ! J The Results of the Day.

A $5.00 GOLD PIECE Drops From a Chicken's Craw When Killed. An Athens widow was in great luck yesterday. ' A few days ago she purchased a half dozen chickens from a popular dealer. Tnero is nothing nnusual about that. She had|killed all these chickens but one old hen, and had concluded to save it, as ehe thought the hen to be a very good “setter.” Yesterday morniog however, the hen being chased by a deg, snagged one of her eyes out by flying into & barbed wire fence. Yhe lady at once killed tbe hen, and began to prepare for a chicken pie. When she out into the chicken’s craw imagine her surprise to find a bright $5.00 gold pucs. She says it beats buy ing prize boxes to invest in ruchohick- ons. Perhaps if tbe owner of the hen knew of it, he would claim ’lie money as his. The good lady says ehe would like to know if she has “killed the hen that laid tho goidsn egg.” The Entire Family Suffocated. NkwY^bk, July 8—At 3 o’clock j STABBED BY A MINISTER. A estrange Tragedy Reported from Pioyd County, Roux, Ga , July 8.—Upon the banks Of tbe Little To wet Dry creek, near the Homing mOls, an unfortunate accident happened. Rev. J. L. Dyer and Joe Wise went fishing. While upon the banka, it seems that Joe Wise was rather abasive to the «<ld minister, and after a while thought he would throw him into the water. Mr. Dyer endured the treat ment as lung as he could, and then, in defense of himtelf, used his pocket j knife. The breast of Joe Wise re ceived a teveto gash and the report to night is that his condition is serious. Their many friends Tegret tbe tragedy. The old minister acted in self-defense, is the general report. i sue I tfwrn. £ bat **ly l To be nithuut BecchamV j BuJ tifii Jjflilfct ip piipLaifip ^ THE SEAT OF WAR. THE STRIKERS AT HOMESTEAD STILL UNDER ARMS. ARMED WORKMEN From Pittsburg Ready to Take Part- Sixty Car Loads of Pinkerton Men Reported to Be on Tho Way to 5J tho Scenes of tho Late Labor Troubles. Homestead. July 8.—The town is practically uuder arms and there has been many rumors afloat. As the committee passed along the street one exclaimed in a loud voice: "We are all armed and will not allow any one to enter the works, be he white leg or black leg. ” A rumor has reached,here, and is causing much comment, that forty to sixty freight cars are being,equipped at Cincinnati and Lima, in which tbe Pin kertons will be sent to Homestead. The rumor may not be true, bjjt. as a leader remarked, "we did not believe''the barge story until they came up, and we will certainly ndt discredit this story until it is proven falso." ^ Tbe report that Sheriff McCleary is responsible for the appearance of the Pinkertons in Homestead has caused much bitter feeling, and if he comes to Homestead lie will havo a chance to make several explanations. The mill is quiet, but in expectancy of another attack. An unusually large number of armed men have congregated near the works, aud at the first movement ihey will en ter and take possession. It is reported one hundred armed workmen from Pittsburg are concealed near Homestead, and ready to march into the town at the first sign of being needed to reinforce the strikers. Tbe Sheriff Gee* Alone. Pittsburg, Jnly 8.—At 9 o’clock the hoar set by Sheriff McCleary for the assembling of 500 men to act as deputy sheriffs at Homestead not more than 80 appeared. - The majority had excuses of various kinds. After calling the list of summons sent ont only 23 had signified a willingness to go. The sheriff an nounced that he would go alone. THROWN FROM A BUGGY And Painful Injuries Sustained. Yesterday morning Miss Mina Lang ford, the young daugb'er of Mr. Gns Langford, of Watkinsville, was coming to Athens in a buggy. The horse became frightened and ran away, when Miss Langford was thrown from the buggv to tbe ground. Her collar bone was broken and she was rather badly shocked and braised by the fall to the grourd. She was brought to Athens where medical attention was rendered. Her injuries are not at all serious, though they are quite painfm. Her many friends wish her a speedy reoovery.

Capital cannot aflt rd to invite ruth less conflict with Lbor. The masses when driven to tbe wall have a habit of turning npon tbe classes. The p -ges of history aie full of snob c nil cts- Tbe Carnegies should remember, too, that the masses have more votes than the classes, and that tbe former may bring down tbe protection temple even as Samson brought down destruction upon his enemies. It is not well to goad tbe muzzled ox. From the Buffalo Courier. Tbe excuse of Carat gie & Co , is that they cannot compete with the *• pauper labor” ol the new south. But why are wages so low in the new south, which has exactly the same McKinley protec tion as the old north? Is net this an other demonstration that wages are not regulated by the tariff, but by sup ply and demand ? It may be sud fur ther that as tbe tariff operates directly to limit the demand it3 real effect is to reduce wages rather than to raise them From the Albany Argus. 1 _ • Four yean ago the Hon. William L- Scott in his great speech on the tariff, May 10,1888, showed from the books of the Carnegies the way in which protec tionism operates. Or a total cost at the time of $26 79 for a ton of steel rails, the labor employed by tbe Carnegies receiv ed only $4.00, while the profits < f the firm on each ton were $5 and Mr. Car- negies himself confessed to Mr. Scott that in one year he bad drawn $1,500,- 000 as bis share of the profits from the E igir Thompson Sied Works, only one establishment ont of the many united last week in the Carnegie trust. Or ganization secures labor’d wages; a pro tective tariff secures monopoly's pro d's. From the Boston Globe. If bard facts count for anything, then every intelligent woikingman must see that the Carnegie inoident is not so much the resale of exceptions' causes as of a permanent and constant condition covir ngall the protected industries. It is to be hoped that the other great protected barons would show more dis cretion than Mr. Carnrgie, who has in trenched himself within the walls of Fott Frick like a besieged mediaeval warrior; but the same conditions bang over them all, and will continue to me nace the peace and the bread of labor until they are utterly abolished by the great political overturn next Novem ber. From the New York T1ih-s We are not aware that Hr. Carnegie and hie associates have evtr asserted that they have been compelled to rednoe the price of steel billets., because the McKinley duty on euch billets was too low. Tnedaty on steel rails was re duced, but the change was merely the substitution of one prohibitory duty for another, and, with the aid of a tax of $13 44 per ton on foreign rails, Mr. Car negie and bis as ociates in the Bteel rail combination have been able to exact continuously a ring price of $30 per ton, in tbe face of a notable decline in the cost of tbe raw material. The change in the duty has not annoyed this unlaw ful organization. From the Birmingham Age-Herald. Property must be protected, but let it be done by tke constabulary or the oitizen soldliry of tbe country. The name of "Pinkerton” pr-vokes to deeds of bloody resistor ce and defiance that command the sympathy of milHons of p< ople. Politically, the strife in Pennsylvania comes as a God-send to the Democrats, but is welcome to no good man on that account. The question will be asked by millions of men today—to be auswered in November— it the logical result of protection and yet more protection and yet mote and more, that the arch benefioferv ef the whole system should sit amid bis mil lions and issue orders for an issue of blood between his workmen and a baud of mercenaries?” Fro-ii tie St. Louis Republic. With his pcoktts lined with ill-gotten gains, Carnegie, like tbe charletan prophet of a false creed, takes himself far away from the scene of his knavery, well out of earshot of tis victims’ angry curses Then while he trkes bis ease in that notable Scotch castle, bis man Frick calmly notifies tbe mtn at Carnegie’s Pennsylvania mills that this isn’t tbe year for roait beef and plum pudding; that Bsit horse and bard tack are good enough foi hirelings, and in short that they must accept wages reduced by 20 to 60 p r cent. <r tramp If they obj. ci at all bumptiously to doing t.be one or tbe other they will be scalded with hot water or shocked to death with the lateat electric devices. No wonder that Col. Cbns Mag e, tbe Pennsylvania republican boss, is raid t > be travelling iu bot haste to Pittsburg with a mess> gi from Candi date Harrison demanding of Carnegie’s managers that this tl r.-etenir g volcano be choked up at all hazards. The lock out at Carnegie’s has already converted whole communities o' republicans to democracy; one man scalded by Carne gie’s hot water batteries would make lOO.OOo votes against Harrison in Penn sylvania and Ohio. JACKSONVILLE UNDER GUARD. Three more Companies of Static Troops Ordered In. Jacksonville, Fla , July 8.—Adju tant General Larg arrived npon tbe scene of hostilities last night just after the shooting of ant gre and tbe acci dental wounding of Private Stout. There was a great deal of excitement on both sides, and the adjutant general was fully impressed with the gravity of the situation. He therefore telegraph ed about 1 p. m. for three additional companies of infantry to report here, tbe City Guards, of Palmetto, and one each from Gainesville and S ark. The former reported for duty at 6:30 o’clock this morning. There was no outlook af ter midnight, and today everything is quiet as far as appearances go. Tonight, however, armed negroes are expected to congregate again, and Gem eral Long has ordered a cordon estab lished covering an i rea of ten blocks about tbe jail. About forty negroes have been arrested so far and disarmed, among them two wome n. Several ca ses of this kind were called in tbe city court this mornirg.
