GRlENvILLE, II. l.. Aug. Yesterday
morning at about 7:5O o'clock fire broke
out at the old Paine Tavern. situated
about half way between here and Man
ton, on the old Killingly road. This Is one
of the old Revolutionary buildings, and
was probably, since the burning of the
old Paine Mathewson stand last fall, the
oldest tavern in the State.
The cause of the fire is at present un-
known, but is supposed TO be incendiary,
as there had been no fires In any OF the
stoves in over eight hours and but one
lamp burning and that was found to be
burning safely after the fire was discov-

window and jump, or rather fall out;
The distance not being very great 1 landed

OF that time the fresh air coupled with
my natural anxiety managed to
revive me sufficiently so that

household furniture on the ground foor.
We saw at once that it was no use TO try
and save the building.
There were In the home at the OF the

lady boarder from Providence, all OF

Mr.. Wade puts his loss at &. 500, and

LEAVING THEIR HOMES.
Homestead Strikers Moving Out to Escape
Eviction.

Homestead Strikers Moving Out to Escape
Eviction.
HoMEsTEAD, Pa, Aug. 1.-While the
Carnegie Company was planning to give
amusement to the black sheep within the
high board fence Saturday, the evicted
families were moving out of the houses
of the company. The rain poured down
in torrents, but a long procession OF
wagons loaded high with furniture
moved along Eighth avenue.
1t was the lest day OF grace for those
who occupied the houses belonging to the
company. The leases, which seem to
have been made as IL a strike was expect
ed, make IL necessary for tenants to
move or they would be in danger of hav-
ing their furniture set out on the side
walk.
Under ordinary circumstances IL would
never have been made a moving day. The
heavy rain would have caused a postpone
ment. But in these cases there could be no
postponement. At least 80 thought the
score or more of families who left the
rows of houses. The soldiers got under
shelter and laughed at the drivers of the
wagons who made clumsy efforts to es-
cape the wet. But the workmen did not
laugh. Neither did they speak.
The leaders in Homestead were prepared
for the eviction notices, because they ex-
pected them and there are houses, or at
least room, for all who are compelled to
move. Some of those who were to have
moved yesterday refused to leave their
old homes. They said they would give
Mr.. Frick and the Carnegie Company the
pleasure of forcibly ejecting them.

WARWICK, Aug. 1.-For number of

''The Republican Party" but the main
object of the dinner was hardly accom-

HOMESTEAD, Aug. Fort Frick, the

plant Of the Carnegie Steel Company, is
from now on really fort, garrisoned
and armed.
There are ] 900 men inside, and there Is
a repeating rifle for every man. The
rifles are stored in a convenient place
where they can be got at in moment.
Besides the thousand workmen who can
be called in a moment to defend an attack
there are are now fourteen coal and iron
policemen trained to fight, and 100 deputy
sheriffs. The deputies and coal and iron
policemen are armed with both clubs and
rifles.
This preparation has been made in view
OF the withdrawal of the larger part Of
the militia and the possibility of the early
withdrawal Of the remainder. That the
preparations are necessary Is proved by
the fact that threats fly thick and fast as
to what will be done when the soldiers
are gone.
The more ignorant of the strikers make
no bones about saying that they will at
tack the mills and drive out the men at
work the instant the military Is with
drawn.
The wives OF the men also make threats
freely, al d even in the street. They are, as
"a rule, more bloodthirsty than the meu.
