1t Was understood last week that an
appeal would be taken from the decis-
! ion of Judge Perrault requiring Mayor
Clements to appoint three members Of
tho Commission to be charged with the
erection of our public school house.
We are glad to be able to announce
that the idea has been abandoned and
that Oh last Tuesday night the Mayor
complied with the order Of court by
making the appointments, thus putting
a quietus upon the mooted question
Of the legality OF the tenure Of
a majority OF the Commission.
Certain MISUNDERSTANDING as to
the position of the members appointed
by Mayor ClachcrG having been remov-
ed, our worthy Mayor was glad of the
opportunity to retain their services and
cheerfully reappointed all of them.
They are, as our readers will remember,
Messrs. j. B. Sandoz, E. Latreyte and
Geo. G. Pulford-all gentlemen vitally
interested in the welfare and advance
ment of the town aud parish, and who,
we doubt not, will vie in friendly rival
ry with the other members to he ap-
pointed in the'zealous discharge of the
highly important trust for second time
to their hands. The shadow
Of doubt resting upon their tenure hav-
ing been dispelled, the School Board
and the Committee of Twenty-Five
should at once appoint the other two
members Of the Commission, 50 that
that body may organize and go actively
10 work. There is now no good reason
Why we should not have a fine school
finished, furnished, and ready
or occupancy in less than six months.

4 STREET CHRISTEEED THE GAUNTLET

One who witnessed the terrible butchery
ct Homestead on Tuesday can never forget
it The scenes were so thrilling and the
moves in the awful tragedy so rapid that so
far only the leading features have been
given to the public. Not since the days Of
the war has one man perched aloft been
able to look down on a field OF battle where
hundreds were arrayed against hundreds In
mad attempts to take each others lives
Men have wondered why civilized people
will watch bull fight The events of
Wednesday told why. The heart of man is
as savage as the painted barbarian. The
spectators of that carnage trembled when
they hesrd the firing mile

battle they worked their way along
accepting the protection of every obstrus.

sickened them and they turned away, yet
bent to see the effect OF each shot. The
charge was coming.

Then fear left and they riskea their lives
to catch better view. Like the maddened
mob. they were intoxicated with de-

were afraid the barges might get on fire.
Following them were half dozen trucks
bearing barrels of lubricating oil. Promi.
nent among those who assisted in the work
was man in full Salvation Army uni
form. Though in his strange dress he was .
mark for all eyes, he went on with his work
with as much of will as if he was beating
drum at the head of a procession.
Fired Under the Bow of the Little Bill.
Jack Leasure was the man who gave the
first warning of the approach of the gun
boats at Homestead. After the word had
been received there he started down the
river in skiff. He told his comrades that
If there was any real danger he would fire
three shots. When he sighted the Little
Bill and the barges Monongahela and
Tennessee he called to the pilot to know
where he was going. Though he was then
directly beside the boat he fired three times
and then pulled for a place of safety. He
said no shots were fired after him.
Probably never before was there such q
scene of pillage as at the surrender BOYS
and rioters quickly took down the doors in
stern of the barges and they poured in
like so many rats Soon they reappeared,
bearing anything they could get their
hands on. They took stuff they had no
earthly use for. Some come out loaded

The man was too dazed to understand, and
the next instant the burly ruffian felled
him to the ground. The blood gushed from
the wound on his head, yet each of the
mob pounded him as he passed. The
others caught it up and every
one was similarly treated after
that. They forgot they were men
and descended to every kind of abuse. The
Pinkertons would be seen running like
hunted beasts and a dozen men chasing
them with clubs. blackjacks and stones.

THE FEELING IN BRADDOCK.

Edgar Thomson Employees Inclined tc
Hold Aloof From Their Homestead
Brethren-No Love Lost Between the
Former Contests.
A special telegram to The DISPATCH
from Braddock says there may be some de.
termination on the part of mill workers at
Cafnegie's Edgar Thomson works to unite
with the Homestead workmen in case oi
further trouble, but It was not on the sur
face last night. However. it may be posi-
but very little encouragement to enlist the
workmen in Carnegie's Braddock and Du-
quesne mills in one army, fighting for one
principle-organized labor.
There is no organization in Braddock, al
though the men attempted one little over
q year ago, forming an assembly numbering
over 200; but they were refused charter BY
the Amalgainated Association simply be-
cause they had never won q contest while
the Amalgamated Association or Knights
of Labor were in existence there. This
was the last attempt to organize the men at
Bfaddock, although the few who had inter-
ested themselves for that purpose had fire.
quent meetings subsequently.
'It is almost certain" said an Edgar
Thomson man, ''the men here will not in
terfere in the trouble at Homestead. We
made losing fight four years ago. after re.
naming out over five months, not having
assistance from Homestead or any other
place"
The men in the finishing department and
Harry Bingham, of the converting mill.
were all interviewed and were not inclined
to believe that such an incident would oc-
cur here. The latter said 1t would be folly
for the men at the Edgar Thomson to at
tempt such thing. 'They have three
year contract, signed from the 1st Of Janu-
ary last, and don't think they would leave
the mill at this time to assist those who
hold bitter animosity against them. The
greatest fear here is that the Homestead
workmen might, upon the slightest provo.
cation, march upon Braddock and demand
that Edgar Thomson employees fall in."
William Redmon, who lives here, and is
employed at the 40-inch mill at Homestead,
said he hardly thought it possible that the
Braddock workmen would unite to helm
their Homestead brethren out There is
estrangement between the two sets of men.
The latter are mighty bitter, he said, against
Carne9ie's Braddock workers, simply because
they always fought losing battle. There
are now q number of Edgar Thomson men
united with Homestead workers who live
here, and they are keeping close guard be-
tween Rankin and Keating stations This
would indicate there is not much bitter feel
ing between them as above suggested.
Fred Primer, q former Braddock police
man, was one Of the men routed from the
barge 1t Homestead yesterday morning. It
was under the same conditions that this man
came to Braddock during the big strike Of

man crawled 100 yards like snake dragging
his gun after him. He appeared to be
choosing his prey with all the caution Of q
hunter attempting to surprise q eovey OF
partridges. Another man attempted to fol-
low him, but he moved him back for fear
he would scare the game.
The rioters carried all kinds of arms.
There were many OF the old style national
guard muskets seen that were good at 1000
yards A few of the blue barrels of the new
State rifles could also be seen. Others were
outwith the old-style. .muzzle-loading squirrel
rifles that crack like whip. but send ball
with terrific force Others only carried
shotguns loaded with slugs. but the range
was SO short that they were almost as sfee-
tive as the rifles.
The men who ran with the hose carriage
laughed TO the bystanders and said they

work of death more certain. The up
turned faces of the men who had lighted
fuses on the bombs were scarcely
human, they were so wrought with
passion. Some drew their coats that they
might make longer cast, and each time
the smoking bombs went flying the mob
howled and cheered, but the workers
needed them not They only prepared
fresh bombs to keep up the bombardment,
and when the strength of the arm was not
sufficient they threw the dynamite in
slings hastily made out of bits of rope. For
fear the bombs might be thrown off before
they exploded they held them so long that
some of them went of while still fying in
the air.
Every time there was an explosion it
gave tine sharpshooters q chance, and they
were good shots The Braddock sharp
shooters we're dead shots. The idea that
ary one escaped from the boat during the
boubardment is nonseusical. There was
not an inch of the barges that was not ex-
posed to the fire of the sharpshooters. So
close was the watch kept that when q tin
pan was held up to one of the portfolios in

posite bank of the Monongahela put hole
