HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 16.-Thc
borough of Homestead was placed un-

the outcome of the unwarranted arrest
of strangers Wednesday.
There are now an unusual num-
Der Of men in the steel works but
whether they are non-union workmen
or not has not been learned. The
strikers are convinced that bv night
fall men will be put to work in the
mill under the protection OF the mill
tary.
They are watching all Pittsburg,
Braddock and Homestead stations
closely. About ten men got of at tho
Baltimore q Ohio station across the
river this morning and announced that
they were going to apply for work.
They were persuaded to go back to
, Pittsburg.
The men IRE more subdued than dur

not threaten to enter the works and
drive off non unionists, notwithstand-

ers employed in the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works and other Carnegie estab-
lishments will go out this afternoon;
that the Homestead mill will be in
vaded tomorrow by 400 non-union men
who will put things In shape for
operating the mammoth plant next
week; that more Pinkerton men and
couple of thousand non-union men
will put in an appearance here by Sat
uruay to take the place OF the locked
cut men and that the militia will aid
the Carnegie men in introducing the
non union men. The first two reports
are probably true:
Hugh O'Donnell continues to receive
kilograms encouraging him to keep up
the fight. Over six hundred labor
bodies scattered from Maine to Cali
fornia have teleg, aphed their official
Endorsement OF the mems position.
Assurance of both moral and financial
support continue to pour in upon the
Advisory committee. In this connec-
ton it is only proper to say the
reports indicating suffering among the
loclted out men for want OF food are
entirely groundless. No assistance is
vet needed. The $500 men who are
out of work are thrifty and most Of
them have money laid by for rainy
day. The Amnlgamated association
has n bountiful treasury and is per
fectly able to supply any help tina
may be required by the families Of the

criminal cnrelessness on the part of an

PIrrsBURG, July 16.-General Super

finest in the world and workmen made
so per cent more wages there than in
any other plant. lie said the average
reduction proposed by the company,
which precipitated the strike, was IL

were affected.
Andrew Huff was on one of the
barges during the fight. When the
firing commenced from the shore only
a few of the Pinkertons tried to land.
W. L. Danahy, reporter on the
Pittsburg Leader, arrived at Home

fight. Heard some firing at the time
but did not know where it came from.
He could not get near enough to ascer

Chairman II. C. Frick of the Carnegie
Steel company was then questioned by
Chairman Oates. He said some of the
workmen had testified that the poorest
paid men and those who had the hard
est work suffered most under the re-
duction. He selected the wages dur
lug the month of May, just before the
trosble, admitting, though, that the
wages were little large. Out of 800
men employed on the 1l9-inch plate
mill only eighty-two were reduced. In
1882 206 men were employed in the
same departments and by the change in
the scale then lo6 were affected and
100 were not. More men were affected

PARSONS, Kan, July 16.-Ncws has
reached here that the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas passenger train No. was
was ha allied and robbed at Adair sta
ton. in Indian territory, seventy miles
from here, yesterday. The despera-
does who committed the robbery are
the Dalton brothers, who have been
guilty Of more crimes of this nature
than any of the other gangs of ruffians
that mi Ike the nation their headquar-
tiers.
The thieves blew open the safe and
secured the contents, which, it Is as
serted by an official who knows, were
certainly between $50, 900 and s75, 200.
The 70 bbery was not accomplished
without hard fight, however, in
which Capt j. J. Kinney, chief of de-
tectives of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas road; l.. A. Flora, a member of
passengers on the train and residents
of Adair. were wounded. None of
them, however, is likely to die from
the injuries received.
The train left Vinita, forty miles east
of Adair, on time Nothing wrong was
noticed until, few miles from Adair,
two men with faces masked jumped
down from the tender into the cab and,
presenting revolvers at the engineer
and fir eman. ordered the train brought
to a halt. The command was obeyed
and the train soon came to n standstill.
AS soon as the train stopped shots
were heard outside. Capt. Kinney,
Flora and the two doctors who live in
Adair rushed from the cars. They
saw two men standing at the side of
the ex press car, into which they had
fred several shots, after the messenger
had failed to comply with their de-
mand to open the door.
Capt. Kinney and Mr.. Flora opened
fire on the men, who promptly sent
several bullets at them, while several
men came from one side toward them.
They. too, opened fire, and lively fu-
SHADE ensued, in the course of which
Kinney, Flora aud the two doctors
were wounded. None of the other
passengers came to their aid and they
were forced to retreat into the
cars, their revolvers being empty.
The men who had last appeared kept
mp lively firing for the purpose of in
tim:datinS the passengers on the train,
and with excellent effect, not a soul
appearing. AS a matter of fact, most
of them were under their seats or lying
in the car aisles.
The two men at The express car were
joined by third, only one man being
left with the engineer and fireman.
Up TO this time the messenger had
persisted in his refusal to open the
door. One of the Dalton boys then
shouted he had placed dynamite under
the car and would blow it into atoms
if the door was not opened. firing, by
way OF emphasis, several shots into

A PET theory obtains among some
church people that the life of n
preacher is a perpetual picnic that he
lives the typical life of n Sybarite.
No theory can be further from the
fact than this theory when applied TO
the life Of q man of the cloth and OF o
conscience, too There is no profess
sion where so much of the gratuitous
is expected as from the profession OF
theology, none from which so much
is demanded none more hedged in by
an exacting public. Because Il man
happens to follow tho dictates of his
conscience and embark in the profes
sion Of the ministry, the public falls
into the error of looking upon him as
something more than human. as en-
dowed with greater patience with q
stouter heart with more physical en-.
durance than any member of the laity.
The preacher is expected TO be for
ever turning the other check also.
