Pattison Maintains His Ground

PrrrsBURG, Pa, July 0-The Home
stead committee that went to confer
with Governor Pattison at Harrisburg
returned this morning. Mr.. Cox, speak
ing for the party, said: Governor
Pattison will maintain the stand he
has taken all through the present
trouble, that the national guard of
Pennsylvania will not be used as a
police force. He will refuse TO call out
the militia until IN emergency arises
In this case If there is another out
break he will probably summon the
guard Immediately. The governor be-
lieves that the PInkerton men had no
authority whatever to appear on the
ground; that 1t was the sheriff's duty,
and his only, to preserve the peace.
He will insist that the sheriff must do
his full duty.n

Settlers Alarmed without Goo Reason--
A SEMI Religious Waltz.
DARLINGTON, l. T., July 6.-The
Arapahoe Indians arc again indulging
In tho ghost dance and the settlers are
unduly alarmed Complaints have
been forwarded by mail and wire to
the head of the Indian department at
Washington asking hat the ceremony
be stopped at once, as the settlers fear
that IL II Is continued it will end in an
Indian outbreak. A thorough exam
nation Of the situation shows that
these fears are utterly g~roundless; the
dance Is simply q semi-religious cere-
mony. There is nothing in it that in
dicates that there is any feeling of en-
nifty toward the whites and the whole
thing is a great improvement over the
old time dances in which the red men
INDUCED. The dance which Ia now
going on west of this place Ia visited
nightly by hundreds Of white people,
who arc unmolested and who are well
coined with great effusion, especially
when the hat Is passed around, which
Is done with remarkable regularity at
the end of each hour. The dance is a
very tame affair and consists in the In
dirns dancing Oh ''crow hopping

men had been shot:
VIM Fry, probably fatally injured.

ANDREW SJURLER, seriously wounded.
JunS KANE, badly hurt
HAIRY HUGuEs, wounded. aud an I'M

some distance from Homestead evidently
badly hurt.
Five thousand men, women and chill
dren stood upon the river bank watch
Ing the fight and cheering on the
workmen in their efforts TO prevent u
landing by the Pinkertons
The first shot OF the engagement
came from the barge. 1t was aimed at
a big Hungarian. who stood at the
waters edge. The ball went wide of
the human target, but was the signal
to the Pinkerton men to begin and for
fully ten minutes they continued To
fire.
The lrst man to fall was Michael
Murray, a heater in one of the mills
lie was shot in the left side and fell.
Close beside him stood n Hungarian. lie
stopped over Murray PROSTATE body
md as he was in the act Of raising him
he staggered aud fell beside his com
rade,
This bloody spectacle reused the
dropping spirits of the crowd, aud
with a hoarse cheer half n dozen men
rushed TO the place where Murray and
tho Hungarian lay. They picked up
the bodies and carried them behind a
trestle. One Of the reseuers, a WEIGH
man who refused to give his name, was
shot in the left leg just as they raised
Murray from the ground, MURRAY and
the Hungarian were carried to n physi-
clans Office and after u hasty examin-
alton he announced that both men
would probably die.
