noise of the battle spread about tn
borough like wildfre and thousand
of men, women and childre
thronged to the river bank to wit

Pinkerton men were determined t.
land and they poured volley afte
volley into the ranks CT the strikers
many of whom were stricken dow
by the bullets, some of them bein!
fatally injured and others killed out
right. AS the battle progressed TIN
strikers took up a position behind
breast-works hastily constructed o
steel rails and billets, and from thi
point of safe refuge were able t.
pick off the detectives as soon al
they appeared on the deck of thu
boats.
In the meantime Captain Hint
and Superintendent Kline of the
Pinkertons were disabled and the
fire became so fierce that the crew
of the tow boat hastily cut loose
from the barge and steamed up the
river, carrying as many of the
wounded as they could reach tc
Braddock, from which place they
were sent down to the hospitals fol
treatment at Pittsburgh.
Seven of the force were thus cared
for, while the strikers that fell
wounded were carried to their
homes at Homestead, the dead being
taken to the undertaking establish

The news of the riot reached
Pittsburgh as early as 6 O'Clock in

to reinforce the strikers.
AS soon as day broke, the strikers
secured a small brass 10-pounder
cannon and planted it within a steel
built embrazure 80 as to command
the barges which were moored at
the river bank.
At the same time force of 1000
men took Zip position on the op-
posite side of the river and also
planted cannon which they pro-
tected with breastwork of railroad
ties. The fire from both sides was
kept up and the barges were pierced.
Shortly before 9 clock the can

for several hours an awful lombard

en- timbers forming the sides Of the
boat were splintered, but the heavy
steel plates on the inside prevented

Butler ON the Legal Points.

BosTON, July 22.-Gen. Butler, speak
ing of the Homestead cases, said that.
in regard to admitting to bail in case
where murder is charged, although bail
was not as n rule allowed, still it was a
matter wholly within the discretion of
the courts. AS TO the e%xtradition Of
Andrew Carnegie, he could not sec
how n man could be taken in a foreign
country for acts said to have been done
in this country in his absence. He was
very strong In expressing his conviction
that legislation should be had that
would cause the d~isbandment of the
Pinkertons and the prevention of such
riots hereafter. Personally he had no
correspondence with the strikers, and
had heard nothing whatever as to his
being engaged as counsel.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 22.-In the
