WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
It's not possible to say with mathc-
matical certainty just what would fol-
low should the governor order the
troops here. II they we're to come
simply to protect the property, there is
no occasion for their presence. They
would probably be unmolested, saving
for the possibility Of some unauthor.
lied act, causing trouble. But should
they attempt to act as an escort and as
means whereby. non-union men were
to be introduced, trouble would result
almost inevitably, unless the militia
made such strong demonstration as to
overawe the men, who IRE as n class
more intelligent than the average
workingmen, OF o determined nature
and of English, Scotch and Welsh
stock to q large extent. And there
might then arise a row il, after the nom
unionists had, been put to work, tho
soldiers should be removed.
It was rather late in the morning be-
fore tile village was stirring after tho
fight OF the previous day and evening:
Tho men were up late, and the fight bad
made them tired. Moro strangers than
residents were on the streets. at II
o'clock when the morning trains had ar.
rived. They came to SEQ the scenes OF
the fighting. At that hour tho village
was as quiet and peaceful rs New Eng
land village. Everything seemed at
sleep. were II not for the fact that here
and there small groups OF men, saying
little and looking much at each new ar
rival. The hestorekeepers seemed to have
nothing to do. Their stores were only
half opened.
AT HEADQUARTERS
At the Amalgamated headquarters, o
largo three story brick building, on a
corner about two stones throw from and
in full sight OF tho mills, dozen or
more men were gathered. On the doors
of the ground entrance three posted no.

tion Of funerals OF members of the
order There was nothing much to
learn from the men here, the leaders
being absent.
The newspaper men could get but
little news. Each one was suspected OF
being other than what he was. Some
OF them took the precautlon OF estab-
fishing their identity aud secure cre-
dentials in the shape OF stamp OF the
order These were very useful doCu-
ments to those who had secured them
before Inst nights fight, for it was nee
essary then to show what right you had
on the premises, or to git"
Over at the mills at this hour every
thing was orderly. The strikers, to
prove that they had offered in good
| faith to protect the works, hunted up
the former watchmen OF the works and
again put them in charge. They were
soon going their rounds. The fence,
which had been torn town, was fixed
up and rebuilt, the yard was cleaned,
things put in place and as far as posi-
BILE made to look as they had always
looked. Understanding, it is said, ex-
lists between the men and the watchmen
that tho latter are to protect property
but there will not be any trouble be-
tween them. The watehmen will reliFe

along the river showed signs of the con-

cracks. The two barges were invisible.
They had foated down stream after
burning to the waters edge and filled
up completely. During the day there
were numerous stories Of the events

| HOW he DIED.
John Morris, it is said, met his death
in his eagerness 10 see how shot he
fred had resulted. He thought he had
drop on Pinkerton man and when
he looked out to see what the effect
had been he was picked of. One news
paper man, OF the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
bors a big black bruise, where big
piece OF lead had crashed into the small
OF his back. A few minutes later he
attempted to get away from that To-
cality and was brought to halt by u
big muscular fellow with gun, who
ordered him to go back and fight. 1t
took the newspaper man some time to
convince his captor that it was not his
place to do the fighting.
Soon after noon arrangements began
to be actively made for the funeral at 2
o'clock over the body OF ]. L. Morris,
one OF the workmen killed He was
twenty-eight years OF age and married,
but with no children. Undertaken J..
H. Gillcn had carefully patched up the
body go as to show as little rs possible
tho effects Of the bullet which killed
Morris, butt was impossible to wholly
hide it, as the bail entered the fore
head. Morris fell forty feet after being
hit and his nose looked as ii it had been
broken in tho fall, while the chin had
been crushed.
The three funerals took place in close
succession and they were sad process
sions which moved out through tho
still lanes OF upper Homestead into tho
two little cemeteries facing each other
on opposite sides OF the road about q
half.niIe out OF town.
The fellow workmen OF the men aided
in giving tho buried a decent funeral,
and sadly escorted the bodies OF Morris,
Vain and Forres, tho Hungarian, to
their resting places. The professions
OF the first and last followed each other
up the hill, and debauching to tho
right and left, two services were going
on in opposite cemeteries at the samo
time.
MoRRIs's FUNERAL.
Tho funeral OF Morris was more large.
" attended than those of either OF the
others. Morris was a member Of the
Odd Fellows and Knights OF Pythias
and also very popular personally. Tho
