I*INKFETON’S 31KN 1NT0THK KIVKK AM) 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.

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 and one of Pinkerton’s men is d< ad. KoAuthoiity Given. Fittsihtrg. July (>.—Sheriff Mc 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) •ban Mr. f^larkson.—Constitution. 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 ‘•who lovoth whom heehasteneth,” :uid who in Acts no sorrow that heaven can not lieal.—Eagle News From the “Dominion” of Ca inula, Georgia Rain!
