PITTSBUEG, July S.-There was no trouble
bt Homestead yesterday There was no
reason for trouble. The sheriff could not
get deputies to 60 there, and the mill men
had complete control with pickets out,
guards at the railway stations, and the
town in a complete state of siege. The
news from this city of the sheriff's failure
to obtain n sufficient posse was nuts to the
strikers, and the governors deliberation in
coming to conclusion about ordering out
the militia was equally gratifying to them.
Until posse of sheriff's deputies arriv IS
at Homestead there will be no trouble, as
the company has definitely stated that it
Will do nothing further, only hold A le-
gheny county responsible for any loss of
property that may occur.

paper correspondents, but even these
ubiquitous personages are not permitted
by the strikers to enter the compan's
property. As to the militia Gov. Pattison
up to p. m had made no public move
ment. Adiutant General Greenland and
the local militia officers were in conference
here yesterday, but say they have no
knowledge of any purpose to call out the
troops, and that Gov. Pattisou will not
need to do so.
The Sherih's Rough Road.
Sheriff McCleary is to be pitied His
duty Is to enforce the law. Wednesday he
issued summOnses to the citizens in gem
eral and to a couple of hundred in person
Yesterday there were just thrty-six re-
sponses. He telegraphed the fact to the
governor, together with the statement
that when any attempt to obtain posses
sion of the works by the owners is made
another outbreak will surely occur The
question asked the sheriff by numerous
citizens Is, What are You going to Go?"
To this he replies that he will 90 to Home
stead today with posse as large as he can
muster. The posse will be small Git
Zens have wholesome dread of trying
conclusions with the brawny and desperate
men who are in possession of the works
