which may at any time break away and
Act as a Mob
on the volition of its individual men,
bers. No one is willing to assume re-
sponsibility, and, so far as any control
goes, it is now exercised unOfficially
and through separate lodges. in which
secrecy obligations hold as well as
through committee. The advisory
committee consisted of the president.
and two members OF each lodge. Their
function was to direct the men, to see
that duties were assigned to them, that
acted as unit and generally to see that
whatever was done was to the interest
of the men. One reason for its
disbandmen, members of the commit
tee say. was that Sheriff McCleary
and others endeavOred to use the
committee and get its Endorsement of
the presence of deputies here. and,
through the committee, get consent OF
the men, who were OH the whole against
it. They claim that the men are now
acting together without direction, and
are themselves each directing affairs
properly and keeping good order, and
that therefore an organization is un-
necessary, but other considerations that
are not stated bave much to do with the
matter. Mr.. O'Donneli this evening re-
fused to admit that the advisory conf
mittee was

saying of Lord Nelson, England

too, expect every man to do his duty in

''Have '' you received any information
from the sheriff tOday?'
'NO, nothing"

What steps will you take to receive it?''-

"Yes; Dan Harris. president of the

Temporary Hospital.
| Arrangements have begun. it is said,
| by which there will be a temporary
hospital for the care of the wounded
near the probable scene of battle in
case another flint occurs. The struggle,
IL one comes. of course will be for the
possession of the mill property, and it
| will be in its vicinity the war will rage
| if at all. The little town of Homestead
| has not yet risen to the importance and
| size of making hospital one of its
institutions, and there were no means
| except those hastily improvised in the
| care of men injured in battle.
This afternoon, it is said, a
young physician came to Hugh O'Don-
nell, the local leader, with note of in
PRODUCTION from Sister Madeleine, cf the
Sisters OF Mercy, which has charge'of
! the West Penn hospital, to which some
OF the. injured in Wednesdays battle
were carried. 1t is reported that she
suggested to O'Donnell that he be given
temporary hospital quarters of any per-
sons who might hereafter De injured.
was, he said, of course to be hoped

Further Trouble
might be averted. but preparations
could be made to give immediate and
| proper attention to all those persons
/ needing it, and subsequently, they could
be removed to the hospital in Pittsburg,
| where better facilities would of course
| exist. O'Donnell is said to have asked
the physician what he would need, and
| was told that quarters should be ar
ranged. There should be nurse and
mattresses, and cots should be provided.
His suggestions were we'll received by
! O'Donnell. who thought that it would
be a very wise precaution to take.
He is said to have promised
to arrange to have suitable
quarters turned over to the
physician. and it is probable that they
will be located in the ihree-stOry brick
building of the Amalgamated ASsocia-
ton, which stands on a corner not far
from the works and is where the men
meet. The strikers are constantly in
expectation of a fight, and the prompt
acceptance of the offer shows this, and
also the realization the men have that
the next fight is likely to hove more
serious result than the previous battle.
Mr.. O'Donnell himself was very non
committal when interrogated upon this
point this evening. and merely stated
that DR.. M. d. Buchner, of the Pitts
burg Mercy hospital. had called and pro-
offered his assistance and had also
ffered to receive any wounded that
might be now i'll the city.
