SIXTY FAMILIES EVlCTED.

4LocAed-out Homestead Workmen Lose
Their Homes-No Resistance Made.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 3O.-In Home
stead to-day looks like May day. All
the wagons which can be secured are in
use transporting the household effects
of about sixty families out of company
1 houses. 1t was not necessary to use
force to evict any of the occupants,
as they were ready to move into
other quarters in preference to return
ing to work at the company's terms.
There was no hostile demonstration
made by any of the strikers, and this
was probably due more to the pres
ence of the National Guards than to
Indifference on the part of the
Homestead men. The houses are
to be occupied by the non-union
men as soon as they can be put in good
order. The charge is made by the mill
people that during the last few days the
evicted tenants broke many windows
and doors and otherwise DESTROYED
property. Treasurer Curry said this
morning that contracts for thirty-fve
houses of the new Carnegie extension
have been let and they will be
idly as possible. Meanwhile ar
rangements have been made to
accommodate 1900 men in the
works. There are now S73 men in
the works, 63 having arrived this
morning from Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and St. Louis. The advisory commit
tee IS confident that by the middle of
next week it can induce one-half of the
men cow working to come out. Just
KahHa ft the plan is to be pursued has not
that strong ifnifflfuenld1ttss member stated
toward that end.
eve will have over 1000 men in the
yard of the Homestead mill by to-
night" said Secretary Lovejoy this
morning. "There will be a large num-
Der 90 to-day and they are coming into
the city from all directions. There are
also number of our old men at work
should think at least fifty. On Mon
day we will have over l 800 men ready
to work, among them being many skilled
workmen, and we are entirely satisfied
with the work they have done and
the manner in which they do
it, and in fact everything is satisfactory.
We will have enough men on hand
Monday to make an excellent start in
all departments, and are confident
there will be no further delay in getting
all the departments running full by the
end of the week. When this is done
we will attend to starting our other
plants, but not until we get the Home
stead mill in full operation"
Judge Magee's decision in the Critch
low case has caused a small-sized ex
odus from Homestead. The officers
from Aid. McMaster's office have been
making diligent search for the other
Homestead rioters, but they are unable
to find any trace of them about their
accustomed haunts. At their homes
the officers are told that the men they
are looking for are not in town, and
their friends profess to know moth
ing about them. James Close is still
in jail in default Of 1000 bail, and
there does not seem to be any prospect
Of his getting out. He told Warden
Maceleese that his friends had prom
ised to secure his release yesterday, but
they failed to do SO. There have been
no signs of any trouble, and the physi-
clans now confidently expect that Mr..
Frick is now beyond all danger, and his
complete recovery is only question OF
a few weeks. He rested last night and
was very comfortable this morning.
