PITTsBURG. July 6-About o'clock In
the morning al effort was made to land the
detectives, but the workmen met them and
a fierce battle was precipitated, both sides
exchanging heavy volleys of shots, the
Pinkertons being armed with Winchester
rifles. But at the point where the attempt
to land was made there was a steep en-
bankmeDt. and they were compelled to go 10
single file, and they were soon driven back
70 the boats by steady fire from the shore.
The noise Of the battle spread about the
borough like wiidfre, and thousands of
men, women and children thronged to the
river-bank TO witness the fight that was In
progress. The Pinkerton men were deter
mined to land, and they poured voley after
volley into the ranks Of the wOrknen, many
OF whom were stricken down bY bullets
some fatally injured and others killed out
right, Asthe battle progressed the workmen
took up position behind a breastwork
hastily constructed of steel rails and bilets,
and from this place OF safe refuge were
able to pick of the guards as soon as they
appeared on the decks of the boats. In the
meantime Captain Hind and Superintend-
ent Kline OF the PinkertOns were disabled,
and the fire became so fierce that the crew
oil the towboat hastily cut loose from the
barge and steamed up the river, carving
as many OF the wounded as they coufd
reach 10 Braddnck, from which point they
were sent TO the hospitals at Pittsbnrg

and as the men passed By, each in charge of
two deputies, the mIllmen and their friends
kicked them, and they threw some
OF them down. The unfortunate detectives
begged Tor mercy. Some of them had pis-
toi shot wounds iD their heads and three
bad their eyes slot out. Several were
scarcely able TO limp along. The blood was
running III streams down their shirts. and
they fairly yelled with pain. Fully 80 in
1ured men were taken to the town hall.
One had his eyes punched out by an UNI
brela in the hands of woman. Sand was
thrown in their eyes and the miIlmen
struck the detectives over the head and
shoulders with their rifles, inflicting serious
and in some cases perhaps fatal injuries.

with the greatest difficulty that the Demon

were finally locked in the opera-house,

PIrTsBURG, July 6. - The situation OF
the detectives was such as to appal the
stoutest hearts. Three times they ran up a
flag Of truce. but as many times it was
stricken down by bullets fired by the
workmen. Then it became evident that the
ammunition of the besieged detectives was
either exhausted or they were too much
worn out to continue the fight. Toward
dusk efforts were again made to burn the
boats with their living freight, and they
would doubtless have been successful had
it not been for the interpostion of leading
officers of the Amalgamated Association.

their efforts it was agreed to allow the de-
tectives to surrender, but this was not Sc
cured without the greatest objection on the
part OF the men. many of whom had lost
friends and acquaintance during the day.
Besides, there were thousands of turbulent
characters who had been attracted to the
place aud who wanted TO see the carnage 20
on, and it was not until some of the work
men pointed their guns at these outsiders
that hearing was obtained.
At O'clock the Pinkertons hung out
another white flag. This time il was re-

During the afternoon fully 5000 men
