The car of fire rushed down the xtae,
incline in the direction of the ba rpea
and the men on the barges watched its
approach with blanched faces.
Just then the steamer Little Bill
pulled in between the barges and the
shore, but on reaching the water the
car of fire came to a stop.
The heat, however, was intense. and
the little steamer was soon smoking
hot
All this time a continuous fire was
kept up from the Winchesters by both
sides and 1t is calculated that one thous-
and shots were exchanged during this
brief engagement.
The steamer Little Bill, which had
evidently received fresh supply of am
munition and achievements of Pipker-
tons. continued down the river.

A DAY OF TERROR.
The Great Battle Between Workmen anG
Pinkertons at Homestead.

The Great Battle Between Workmen and
Pinkertons at Homestead.
Never in the history of the Homestead
Mills has such day of war and terror
been witnessed. The town was literally
besiege6, and throughout the day the
roar of cannon and the firm g of guns
stirred the citizens to the highest pitch
of excitement.
About 3 a. m. word WAS received here
that the steamer Scout, with IS men
aboard, supposed to be sheriff's depu-
ties, had left Pittsburg for this city.
Upon receipt of this news a general
alarm was given on the big electric light
works whistle, and in a few moments q
pandemonium, akin to that only sup
posed possible in the Internal regions,
was raging.
About 4:45 a. a., the steam tug Tide,
several barges in tow, on which were
about 300 Pinkerton detectives crept
through the fog to the landing at the
steel works.
For two hours before the boats ar
rived 5000 or 5000 persons awaited
their coming on the river banks.
The mills have landing for boats
within the enclosure Of the fence and at
first it appeared that there would be no
way to prevent the Pinkertons entering
the mills.
Shortly before the boats reached
Homestead a horseman, riding at a mad
gallop, spread the alarm that the Pink
ertons were coming.
AS the boats steamed toward the land
ing it was impossible to longer restrain
the crowds.
With a whoop and yell of derision
an onslaught was made on the fence
Soon 100 feet of the enclosure was torn
away and 1000 men were at the land
ing.
As the Pinkertons landed they opened
fire and two workmen dropped in their
tracks.
The first shot came from the barge
1t was aimed at q big Hungarian who
stood at the waters edge. The ball
went wide of the human target, but it
was the signal to the Pinkerton men to
begin, and for full ten minutes they
continued to fire.
The first man to fall was Martin Merry,
q heater in one of the mills. He was
shot in the left side and fell face down
wards on pile of ashes. Close beside
Merry stood Hungarian. He stopped
over Merry's PROSTATE body, and as he
was in the act of raising him he stag
gered and fell by the side Of his com
| rade.

THE TRIP OF THE BOATS.

Capt. Heinds Describes the Attempt to
Land the Detectives at the Mill.
PITTsBURG, July 7.-Captain F. H.
Heinds, who is now in the Homeopathic
Hospital, with a badly wounded leg,
describes the scenes while the boats
were passing up the river and during
the futile attempts to land the men.
"When we reached the B. & o. bridge
above Glenwood," said he, "the time
was about 3 a. m. There was just day
light enough to show that there was a
heavy fog, which obscured the river
banks; but we could hear shouts and
calls Of men, women and children on
the Homestead side.
GAS we neared the works firing COM
menced from the bank, and the rattle
of discharging firearms was like the
whirr Of bees.
''The boat in the centre of the two
barges steamed up to the Pittsburg, Nc
Keesport and Youghiogheny railroad
bridge at the steel works, and then
backed down to the landing.
"When the barge next the shore
swung in, one of our men and myself
threw plank ashore.
1.-The firing had then ceased, and we
could by this time see swarms of people
crowding from the tall bank right down
to the waters edge.
GAS soon az the plank was thrown
ashore, Kline, in advance, and myself
started down the plank.
Kline reached the shore and saw
him scuff1ing with some men.
Then the firing commenced and be-
fore had taken two steps on the plank,
l received shot in the leg and fell on
the plank with my shoulders Oh the
deck. Afterward the boat pulled out
and steamed to Port Perry, where we
were placed on board of B. & o. train
and brought to the city"

CHICAGO, July THE lockout in Car
negie's Homestead mills may result in a
postponement of the dedicatory exercises
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition in
October and like delay in the opening
of the Exposition proper.
Twelve miles of elevated railroad in
the interior of the grounds cannot be
furnished until the settlement of the
difficulties in the East. Union men do
not believe that workmen at the fair
grounds would put in place material
made up by non-union men.
There is no prospect of an early settle
ment of the strike, and fears are express
sed that the big exposition may suffer on
account of Carnegie's uncalled for lock-
out of his men.

"Well, ] suppose he has lot of

He has never shown any evi.

The second man thought the mat.
ter over for a moment and then said:
"Oh, well, some people have a
faculty of making others think they
are smart men even when they are
not"
He hasn't that to any marked ex-

What is the secret of his success

His ability and readiness to say

Antiquity of Nicknames.

The origin of the word as well as
the exact date of appearance of the
custom of "nicknaming" is unknown.
Such names are as old at least as
the most venerable chronicles. for.
upon diving into ancient history, we
have no trouble at all in proving that
Plato was called the Attic Bee" and
Socrates "Old Flat Nose" There
isn't the least doubt but that MANY
OF our surnames come from nick
names applied to our ancestors, such,
for instance, as "Dollarhide," "Ox-
enrider," Bright, 'Lightfoot, +"
"Walkingshaw," "Redhead," Long
man, ''Longfellow," etc.
julius Caesar was popularity styled
"Baldhead," +" and even the third Ra-
meses is said to have been known by
an Egyptian word which signifies
"Limpy." No one has been able to es-
cape the blighting or benign influence
OF the nickname. Kings. queens, phi
losophers, divines, statesmen, as well
as many other eminent persons, have
been made to prosper or suffer by
having some appropriate or ridicu
lous sobriquet added after the lawful
bestowal of the Christian" name
