tempted TO board the car for the purpose of
persuading the man not TO go 20 Homestead,
They could not get on the train and Agent
wilson OF Cincinnati, who was In charge,
says they conteuted themselves with
calling the men ''scabs" and "black sheep.n
and telling them they would be murdered
before they reached Homestead.
When Hazelwood was reached about
twenty-five brawny friends of the strikers
swsrmed ON the car and were soon miRRling
with the non-union men. One man used
insulting epithets 20 Wilson, who pulled his
revolver and compelled him to get Off the
car. In the meantime three OF the men got
OF out OF window and have not been seen
since. Agent Wilson denies that there was
riot amoag the men and claims that they
knew perfectly we'll where they were go
ing.
o'DoNNBLL LEAVES HOMESTEAD.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2S.-Hugh O'Don-
nell has left Homestead quietly aud is prob
ably on his way east again. Mrs. O'Donnell
was quite nervous this morning and said
when questioned On the subject, that her
husband was away on private business. 1t
le not understood here that the labor leader
has any particular mission east, unless it be
30 further his political schemes. He has no
commission from the amalgamated ASSOC
citation or the advisory committee, so far as
SoA 10 AShEAo4. u6 EuokIlD6TH Oh bn6 hu@
Vlsory committee have little Co say oon-
cerning the rosy reports OF mill work, ex-
cspt that 1t ia very easy 70 impose upon a
person not acquainted with the subject A
fact which is being brought to the notice OF
the committee by many of the earnest
lighters is the increasing number OF
absent workmen. AT the beginning Of the
nght resolution was adopted that any man
who left Homestead without leave would
not be allowed to work in the mill after the
fight was over.
HUNDREDS HAVE LEFT.
For three weeks after June 2S very few
persons left town and they were oil excused,
yet during the last week hundreds have
gone away, and as result, watchfulness
has been most decidedly impaired. A week
ago not stranger entered the mill without
being noted. Yesterday 150 men went In
and few people outside knew of il until in
formed OF the fact by the newspapers. This
morning two strangers with valises got off
the train at Homestead and inquired the
way 20 the steel works Some townsmen
told them, bus no one asked why they
wanted to go to the plant This could not
have happened last week. The militia Is gen
orally responsible for this seeming apathy
as the strikers recognize that SO long as the
men remain in the works IL is impossible 10
argue with them and induce them TO leave.
So no necessity exists for such vigilance as
before.
TROOPS BREAKING CAMP.
Camp Black was looking rather dreary
this morning. Several regiments have gone
and others are breaking camp. Mai. Gen.
Snowdsn aud staff left this afternoon In
an interview the commanding officer said:
Tho troops have behaved admirably, the
discipline being almost perfect. 1t Is de-
plorable indeed that a condition. of affairs
exists which neoessibate3 the calling out Of
the state militia every two or three years to
suppress trouble arising out of wagss dis
putes. Some other means OF settling these
troubles should be arrived at" The Impress
sion is prevalent among the soldiers who are
to remain that tney will not be kept In
camp longer than the end Of next week.
They expect "a settlement Of the dispute by
that time.
ONLY 1000 SOLDIERS LEFT.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2s. 10 p. M--The
great division encampment with nearly ,00o
soldiers, established here sixteen days ago, ia
a thing OF the past Tonight Instead, about
1000 soldiers, battery and small squad
ron OF cavalry are the reminders. This
provisional brigade is all the more vigllant,
for it cannot trust to overawe by mere force
of numbers.
Twenty-Five families of striking laborers
who lived In the company houses
on Shanty Hill moved out this
evening. II being the expiration Of
the time for tho men 90 go to
work for the company or leave the resi-
dences The families made quite striking
procession as they marched through the
town TO the quarters furnished by the
amalgamated association. They walked
with their wives aud children on the side
walks, while number OF vans with house
hold goods accompanied the evicted in the
streets
COAL HURLED AT NoN-UNIoN MEN.
This evening a number OF strikers boarded
a coal train on the Pittsburg, McKeesport
and Youghioghony railway passing through
the works, and hurled Jumps OF fuel at the
non-union men. Tonight orders were
issued for the provost guard to search all
trains entering the yard to prevent O recur-
renee of the outbreak.

Of men left this city on various trains to-
day b1und for Pittsburg. and it is said they
