Bloody Work at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, July 6 There has beer
a terrible battle here today between
the locked-out men and squad Of
300 Pinkerton detectives, and q
number of men have been killed on
both sides. The detectives, 300
strong, started for the Homestead
works on a barge in the morning,
towed by steam tug. The lookout
men gave the signal, and when they
reached the Homestead works they
were met by nearly 5000 men, women
and children. The workmen asked
them not to land and they opened
fire on the crowd, killing two men.
The battle then began, and scene
followed which beggars description.
Three hundred well armed workmen
made a game fight and drove the
Pinkertons into the river A SIX
pound cannon was then procured and
the mob opened fire from the hill,
loading the piece with scrap iron and
old bolts packed i'll sacks. The eff
| feet was to kill a number OF the
Pinkertons Ten thousand excited
people lined the river edge, watching
the battle. Old barges were satu-
rated with oil and set on fire to be-
fioated down on the detectives. Bar
rels of oil were emptied on the river
and fired. The sight Of the dead
strikers being taken through the
streets reused the frenzy of the mob,
and the widest scenes were enacted.
The people were craz6d by the sight
of blood. The strikers brought every
available weapon into play, and |
rained down the fire on the barge |
until 2:30 in the afternoon, when the
white flag was raised by the Pinker
ton forces. The roor of the cannon
and musketry was kept mp as the
crowd urged the gunners not to let
up while Pinkerton remained alive.
The firing was kept up until $50
when another white flag went up and
the firing ceased. Hugh Donneil of
the strikers held five minnie con
with the detectives and they
stated that they would 60 to Pitts
burg with Sheriff McCleary. Six
Pinkerton men were killed, and their
bodies are being taken from the boat
amidst the widest excitement The
Plnkertons took the train for Pitts
burg. More trouble is feared, and
here is talk among the rioters of
