The Intellectual Assault on tho Guards Sat-
urday Morning.
1t was shortly alter . o'clock Saturday
morning when tho guard on duty at the
switch light noticed the advancing mob
and ordered halt. This light is about
fifty yards south Of the south end Of the
warehouse. At this point there are two
tracks diverging from the main line to-
ward the mill, one running almost parallel
with the main line, and between it and
the west side OF the warehouse, which Ia
used to run cars on to be loaded from the
house, while the other track forms the east
arm OF Y made by the two switches, and
running close to the southeast corner Of
the warehouse, curves il front OF the
office and into the furnace department.
On this last track were standing two
empty freight cars. They stood at the
southeast corner Of the warehouse, leav-
ing Just room for person 10 pass between
a car and the corner of the building, so
close does the track run to it.
When the guards attention was first
attracted by the rioters they were only q
few PAGES distant. The heavy fog that
had arisen and prevailed at that time had
covered their approach, which had been
very quiet.

Members of the Mob Wounded BadIy-Nias
Arrests.
Saturday It ives learned that number
Of the attacking party had been wounded,
at least two OF them MORALLY, though at
a late hour last night no deaths had re-
suited. Thomas Dawson, a fell hand, who
lives in Martins Ferry, receiveda revolver
ball in the back, which passed almost
through his body, so seriously affecting
the spine that his lower limbs a-e para
lyzsd. Philip Rsisling, heater from
Aliugo, was shot three times, once in the
right leg. once in the neck and once in the
arm. His wounds are pronounced fatal.
A man named Wright, from Brilliant,
Clark Lynn and Ed Bender, OF Martins
Ferry, were also slightly wounded. The
conflicting accounts Of the wounding of
Joe Stephens, formerly Of this city, now
Of Mingo, leave it matter OF doubt
whether he was with the party at all. He
was reported dead. Another report waa
that he was fatally shot. 1t is said on
good authority, however, thas ne was not
hurt at all, ani it is even deliad that he
was in Martins Ferry at the time.
TWELVE WARRANTS ISSUED.
Saturday Mr.. Alex Laughlin President
OF the company, went to Bridgeport and
swore out twelve warrants, for men alleged
to have been riugleaders in the mob,
Nine OF these were arrested, and it is ex-
pected that all will appear before Squire
Robinson, at Bridgeport, at l P. NJ. today,
to which tins the hearing was postponed,
the men being admitted to bail in the SUN
Of 500 each. The twelve men are:
RICHARD STEWART, roller.
RICHARD BRowN, mailer.
EUGENE WILSON, heater.
FRO NIEMASN, heater.
JOHN ALLEN, feeder.
JoHS HALPIN, feeder.
REESE FURRY, roll hand.
HENRY CAnriS, heater.
JOHN BISsErT, heater.
WILLIAM BIssETT, heater.
PATSY MULLEN, mailer.
Ed. BENDER, mailer.

was promptly on hand, and made the ar.
rests. No resistance IVES offered. Hon.
Ross ]. Alexander hiss been retained to
represent the company in the prosecu-
tons, while Attorney Duncan is counsel
for the defense.
Tie excitement in Martins Ferry was
intense, but there was no further breach
OF the peace or disturbance OF any kind.

THE DEADLY BoMRs.

While he was talking, one OF the gre.
nades came crashing through the transom
overhead. 1t was followed by another,
but fortunately neither did any damage.
Mr.. Laughlin threw open the door at
that point and volley was fired By the
workmen at two men who were on the
railroad track with basket Of these gre
nades. They dropped the basket and a
ladder they had and disappeared up the
hill.
The grenades were made OF pieces OF
log about eight inches long and three in
diameter, bored about three.fourths OF the
way through with IN inch auger, and
filed with giant powder. The hole was
closed by plug through which extended
a fuse. This was lighted and then thrown.
The night was dark one and the ex-
element such that it is not surprising
that moro were not thrown into the ware
house. They were designed doubtless 10
fire the building and scare the workmen
outside. They were aIgo liable to do some
damage TO persons in case piece Of the
flying wood should strike anyone.
The ladder, like tho grenades was a
crude affair being a notched piece ofscant-
ling. 1t was probably intended to use
this in getting into the warehouse over
the transoms or in throwing the grenades.

At $50 o'clock the firing had Ceased,
rioters had Withdrawn aud the little
band OF guards had time to breath and as.
certain the damage done, Thomas Daft
received heavy charge OF squirrel shot
in the breast and stomach aud Willard
Bailey had q rifle ball through his right
hip. Both wounds were painful, but not
serious in any way. Doctors were
at once sent for and the men made as
easy and comfortable as possible. Sixty
two shot were taken from Duf's person.
Both men continued to fight after being
shot, going to and from the ofEice alter
ammunition as often as the others. The
guards fought from under and about the
freight cars. There was no sleep after the
assault. Another attack was feared and
q close watch kept up. The workmen
were naturally very much excited and
sat up talking the situation over until it
was time 10 20 TO work.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT,

All the nailers and other workmen seen
expressed their disapprovsl Of this sort Of
thing, and those interested in the strike
said they regretted it, as it would do no
good, but much harm. One ironworker
said il would have disastrous effect upon
the cause OF the strikers. No attempt
was made to justify tho assault by any
body, though one or two expressions were
heard to the effect that men in desperate
straits sometimes did things which in
their cslmer moods they wonld disap-
prove aud bitterly regret, and that the
circumstances should be taken into con-
sideration before the men were too severe
ly condemned. Almost the only express
sion to be heard, however, is disapproval
Of the affair aud condemnation OF those

While excited, they were by no means
frightened and they freely announced
their intention to remain and hold their
jobs at any cost as long as the proprietors
allowed them to.
The first thing Mr.. Laughlin did after
caring for his men was to have the whis-
Tie cord tixed, 80 that at o'clock II could
be blown as usual. Promptly at that hour
the familiar screech resounded up and
down the valley, Weakening the people and
proclaiming that the LRughlin mill

that several Of his trusted men who had

A srEAIrHY APPROACH.

The guard is OF tho opinion that they
stole along the side OF the embankmeHt on
which the road runs at that point, until
within a few feet Of the guard, when they
stepped up on the bank. Not needing his
command to halt, the guard started to ad.
vance toward the mob, again repeating
the command. A third time he uttered
the command, this time in aloud voice that
was heard all over the grounds.
Hardly had this last command been
spoken when scattering volley OF shots
was fred by the mob. The guard at once
retreated towards the cars on the switch.
His commands to halt had attracted the
attention OF the other guards, and as soon
as the shots were fired they hastened to
aid in the defense OF the property and the
men sleeping in the warehouse.
As before stated, the fact that an attack
had not been made Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning, and the belief that
It had been postponed until Saturday
night or yesterday morning, had caused
the mill owners to somewhat reduce their
defense, and instead Of half dozen or
more in the office, Mr.. Alexander Laugh.

TuE MOB WARNED OFF.

These two ran out and joined the guards,
taking q position in the angle formed by
the east side OF the warehouse and the
cars on the switch. Here they were well
protected, as the open space in front OF
them at the point Of the angle, was only
wide enough to allow man to pass
through.
Major Anderson passed through this
space and stepped out in front Of the mob,
for the purpose OF addressing them. This
he did in a cool, dignified manner, telling
them that they had no business on the
premises at that hour, and in such con-
ditlon, advising them to go home and
sober up, it being apparent that several Of
them were under the influence OF liquor,
and warning them that while no trouble
was desired, they were certainly liable to
be hurt II they attempted any violence.
While he was yet talking, the mob fred
a second scattering volley, the Majors tall,
commanding figure being q central target.
The mill forces promptly returned the
volley, and the firing became general.
After the battle was over many q hearty
laugh was had over the sudden transition
in the Majors manner when he was fred
at Suddenly changing his conciliatory-
tone to one Of anger and surprise, he pull
ed his navy and joining Mr.. Laughlin pro-
ceeded to do good work in repulsing the
midnight assassins.
