POUR OIL ON THE WA
TERS
And Net It on Fire—The Pink
ertons Will be Jlurued Alive—
It Was Without Authority
of ThcNbcrifT That they
Were Sent —A Bloody
Battle.
Homestead, Pa., July 0.—Ear
ly in morning 300 pinkertons at
tempted to land at the Carnegie
works from a barge towed by a
steamer.
The strikers.tore down the fence
surrounding the works, and formed
in line facing the landing.
'The Pinkerton’s fired on - the
crew and the fire was promptly
returned. Several were killed and
many wounded on both sides.
The steamer left. The strikers
covered the river with oil and
fired it.
The barge is surrounded by
buruingoi!. The Pinkertons are
firing steadily, hut it looks now as
if all will he burned alive. The
river is stained with blood, and
ihe strikers are firing on the
barge with cannon.
11 was exactly 4 o’clock when
1 lie steamer and barge weresighted
by the watches gathered on the
river hanks one mil° below the
town. Directly the fleet was sigh
ted, three messengers each moun
ted oil fresh horses, started for
Homestead, shouting as they went
in advance of (lie dreaded barges.
Nome one notified the engineer at
the electric light works and for
a. second time the harsh-voiced
whistle sounded the general alarm.
Tho people responded with won
derful alacrity. There were old
men and young men, elderly wo
men, mothers with their babes in
their arms, and any number of
children. The day was jus! dawn
ing, and clouds of thick grayish
vapor hung over the waters.
Suddenly from out the shadows
were seen the lights of the steanier.
On either side of her were barges.
Jn a moment the people on the
hank caught a glimpse ’of the flo
tilla.
From Homestead to the pump
house it is a good two miles, and
yet, all things considered, these
half-drested mi'll and women made
the journey in record breaking
time. Once there, they gathered
in one solid mass tho women, or at
least, most of them, on the out
skirts. The-front rank of this sol
id wall of humanity stood at the
waters very edge, and every mo
ment the crowd grew in numbers
and determination.
Slowly tlie tide brought her si
lent consort- down the channel.
Just below fim Ponnicky bridge
she partly turned her prow toward
the shore and then amid tho
shrieks of steam whistles and an
grv groans and hisses from those
gathered on the hanks, the one u
pants of the boats stripped for ac
t ion. Each one of them was arm
ed with a winchester rifle, and
each rifle was loaded to kill.
As the boat approached within
a few feet ft' the landing, there
was an instant of awful silence,
and Iht'n » bright flash and a
sliarp report announced that the
first shot oi the battle had been
tired.
Almost immediately after the
first shot was fired, the firing be
rami > general on both sides.
Up to this time m one bad at-
1 erupted to leave the boat, but
suddenly fifty or more of the ir
vaders attempted to jump ashore,
11 was in this flltenipt to force
the fighting that the Pinkerton
men sustained their most. serious
loss. Their captain was carried

Thousands of Working Men Marching
to Reinforce the Strikeis.
—o
PiTsmuto, IV, July, (I.—The
fighting at Homestead was resum
ed shortly after 7 o’clock, and con
tinued a half hour. Thousands of
working men from the surround
ing places are reported marching
toward Homestead, to reinforce
the workers who have made such a
vigorous, and unexpected resis
tance to (lie attempted landing.
Jn 1 lie second engagement, Hen
ry Slmgle was killed and some
wounded. The workmen have
built a fortification of steel bars
on the river hank and over a thou
sand men are in it.
Already four of the locked out
men have been killed, and six
more were shot at the second at
tempt at 8 o’clock.
The captain of the tug is dead

I.cavy was asked, by whoso author
ity the armed men were sent to
Homestead. Tho sheriff replied:
”1 understood the boat was go
ing up, and if does not go by ’my
authority.”
“Then the men were not depu
tized by you?”
“No, sir.”
“If is rumored you have turned
the matter over to the Murphy De
tective Agency. Is that true?”
“No, sir.”
‘•‘Your next appeal will bo to
the government?”
“Yes.”
PROTECTION AND WAGES,
The advocates of the McKinley
policy of high tariff protection
should get together mid agree up
on a fin*' of, argument. Henry
Clay said :
The d gne of protection which
will be" required for domestic in
dustry, beyond 1842 depends upon
the reduction of wages, the ac
cumulation of capitol, the perfec
tion of machinery, and the cheap
ening of the price at home of es
sential articles, such as fuel, iron
and so forth. We know that in
all human probability our num
bers will 1)» increased by an addi
tion of one-third at least to their
present amount, and that may ma
terialiv decrease wages.
Now, Andrew Carnegie has a
long head, He is i’amilliiir with
Clay’s arguments, and he takes
the position that our increas 'd |
population has caused the reduc
turn of wages, and a higher tariff
is needed to protect American la
bor. This p >sition, positively as
sorted and plausibly maintained
makes Mr. Carnegie apparently
consistent.
But ex-Chaiiman Clarkson, of
the national republican commit-;
tee, seems to be incapable of any-;
thing like finesse, when qui billing
becomes necessary. IIo bluntly
declares that Alv. Carnegie is
wrong, that he should have set
fled Iho Homesfead differences,
and that after attracting skilled
ed workmen to his town and in
ducing them to build and buy
homes ho haft no* right to run a
; protected industry and then re
wages.
All of wiiieh shows that Mr.
Carnegi" is an a bier poliiieial)

Death of a Good and Noble
Woman.
Another saint has passed away
from earth to heaven; another gem
has been set in the crown of the
Redeemer of the world. Christ
Jesus has placed another precious
jewel in the casket in which lie
collects His purest and .brighest
treasure's.
On Monday, July 4th, the sancli
fled spirit of Mrs. Francis Emily
Hughes, consort of Rev. Goodman
Hughes, of Dahlonega, passed
peacefully and resignedly from
earth to heaven, there to meet the
loved ones who have gone before,
and with them await the coming
of those who are to follow.
Born in South Carolina in 1817,
she was consequently about sev
enty-five years of age when God
claimed her. She with her pa
rents and other brothers and sis
ters, came to Georgia in 1823. At
the tender age of fourteen she was
converted at Mossey Creek camp
ground, Whi te county, and joined
the M. 15. Church and has ever
since lived a godly, righteous
and pious life, shedding joy and
peace, comfort and happiness on
all who came within the ; sphcre of
her saintly influence,
In 1833 she was happily mar
ried to Rev. Goodman Hughes,
who survives her. During their
long wedded life of nearly sixty
years, she proved to be* a helpmeet
indeed, and through all the vicis
situdes, trials and sorrows incident
to our common humanity, she was
to him a counselor ar.d comforter
in adversity, and a counselor and
a contributor to his enjoyment
when fortune smiled and life mov
ed on smoothly. In all the rela
tions of life ‘‘Aunt Emily,” as she
was familliarly called, and was so
well known, was truly a mode!
Christian woman, beloved, ho: -
orod and respected by all whoever
had the pleasure and privilege o!
her ncquaintam - but it was with
in lmr own immediate household
and with those who were more in
timately associated with her as
near relatives and ’close friends,
that her life was a benedict ion, and
her loveable character was best ap
preciated.
Yes, at all times and under all
circumstances her purity of Chris
tian life was an inspiration; for
in all her intercourse with others
“Stic lured to brighter; world’s and led
the way.”
All that was mortal of this elect
hulv, was laid to rest at Dahlone
ga yesterday afternoon, and her
grave was not only bedecked with
spring’s brightest and most fra
grant flowers, but was bedewed
with the tears of hundreds of sin
cere grief stricken mourners.
Her venerable husband, in this
his time of sore affliction has the
sincerest sympathy of a wide cir
cle of friends, whose hearts bleed
with his, and who can do no more
than point him to the only true
source of consolation—to Him

Hon. Daniel K. Beaty, the great O
gan and Piano manufacturer, is build
ing and shipping more Organs and Pi
anos than ever. In 1870 Mr. Beatty left
home a penniless plow-boy, and by liis
indomitable will lie lias worked his way
up so as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since 1870.
Nothing scums to dishearten him; ob
staples laid in his way, that would have
wrecked any ordinary man forever, he
turns to an advertisement and comes on
of it brighter than ever. His instru
ments, as is wellknown, are very popular
and are to be found in all parts of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years h'c intends to sell 200,000
more of his make, that means a business
of 820,000,000 if we average, them at 8100
each. It is already the largest business
of the kind in existence—Send to Daniel
