HoMEsrEAD, Pa, July PA new
movement for the solution; of the
Homestead dead lock was inaugurated
to-day under impressive circumstances.
The tragical occurrence in Pittsburg,
with H. @. Frick as the, victim, was
takenas the occasion for this latest de-
parture. In the presence Of a gather
ing made up largely Of strikers and
militiamen it was proposed to make
a. fresh attempt at arbitration. The
proposal came from source beyond
either party to the difficulty, and was
put forward in way 80 unusual us to
command marked attention. Divine
service at the.principal Catholic church
in Homestead was interrupted at the
most solemn part while the
pastor, Rev. Father Dillon, at
tired in his priestly vestments,
who had turned from the brilliantly
lighted altar and faced the congrega-
ticn, began denunciation OF anarchy
and tho attack upon Nlr, EFlck. NoL u
sound could be heard in the edifice ex-
cept the earnest words from the sane.
tuaty SO wrapt was the listeners in
what was being said.
The Clergyman dwelt upon the pleas
ure afforded all good citizens by the fact
that the imprisoned man was not from
Homestead and that his principles
we're not theirs. He declared that
peaceable means wore best for both
sides and the only one that
should be employed, violence only
tending to create IN increased bitter
ness Of feeling. He hoped to be able
soon to say that the company had real:
lied that it would be more benefited
financially which he assumed was tho
object in view, by an honorable ar
rangement with the old hands rather
than in securing the. country to I'LL
their places,
The strikers were urged in conclusion
to hold themselves in readiness for an
opening toward what was the only feas-
able means for rightful settlement,
Just to both sides, arbitration.

ranging downward, pefilously close TO
the heart. Tho ball showed under the
skin below the left shoulder blade, and
was extracted without any difficulty.
The wound had all the appearances
Of being fatal, but Of course the physi-
clan could not tell for certain from the
superficial examination he was able TO
make at that time. He was still with
the wounded woman when the reporter
left Benwood.
The weapon with which the shooting
was done was 3S.calibre Hopkins q
Allen double action revolver. The
cartridges were still in three OF the
chambers, showing that two shots had
been fred.
Until the story of tho other sido is
heard, the cause OF the shooting can
only,be matter OF conjecture. Moy.
Ian himself would tell nothing, except
that Weinsberg and his wife had
thrown stones at him. and he was
obliged to shoot in self defense, though
he also claimed that he shot wild, and
did not know whether his bullet struck
home.
From others 1t was learned that there
has been trouble between the two
families fora long time, and that two
years ago Moylan was under arrest TOR
molesting the man who was killed last
night.
About one o'clock, Squire Riddle, act:

the killingto view Weinsbergs body

Iiery about eleven o'clock yesterday, by
which eight men are known to have
been killed outright, two died alter

known killed are ps follows:
John Harrison, of Vaudeville, fire

The explosion completely closed the

on the track. AT 10 o'clock several men
were known to be closed in, but how
many or what the extent Of their in
juries was impossible to ascertain.
The scene at the colliery has been one
OF the greatest excitement. Hundreds
Of men, women and children are gath
cred about the mouth of the slope,
waiting for the tidings OF loved ones,
who may be either dead or mangled In
the workings. Officials cannot tell how
many men were overtaken by the dis.
aster, as the confusion attendant upon
incidents OF this nature is go great. 1t
is estimated. however, that there are
fully thirty men engaged in close prox-
unity to the scenes Of the explosion.
