the men are silent but 1t is evident that
there is no cessation Of the desire held
by the men to prevent intruders from
entering the plant.
PITTSBURGH, July s.-The number Of
injured Pinkerton men now at the West
Pennsylvania hospital foots up twenty
seven. One died yesterday morning af-
ter his arrival. He was Edward Con-
nors, OF New York. Three of the in
jured Homestead workers are in dan
gerous condition and their death is ex-
pected at any moment. William Foy is
fast sinking and George Retter is also
In a critical condition. Richardson
Durham is in sinking condition. The
others, it is thought, will get better.
Elijah A. Covert is one of the injured
who will die. While standing in the
barge he was shot with rife ball He
had his hand resting on his hip The
lead passed through his wrist and
lodged in the pelvis cavity. The ball
can not be removed and the wound is
fatal.
Sheriff McCleary again telegraphed
the governor at noon. He stated posi-
lively that all his means had been ex-
hausted and left the matter in the
hands of the governor. The telegram
also stated that on the general call for
assistance no responses had been re-
ceived, and out of 100 persons served
with special attachment about one
third had responded.
The $50 Pinkerton men, less the num-
ber taken from the train to the West
Penn hospital, brought from Home
stead to this city at an early hour yes
terday morning, were kept locked in
the five coaches on an obscure sidetrack
of the Pennsylvania railroad in this
city until 10 a. m, when an engine was
attached to their train and they left for
New York City.
PTTTsBURGH, July s.-Just how the
strikers were so well armed in so short
a time was puzzle. There were scat
tered around among the mill workers
about $50 fine Winchester rifles as relics
of the strike in 1889 and at the first
shot being fred n rush was made for
these At the same time messengers
were dispatched TO Braddock, returning
with $50 guns. The lIibcrnian Rifles
also contributed quite number of
rifles. The cannon was one of two
owned by the local Grand Army post.
This was the one the north side of the
river. One stationed on the Homestead
/ side of the water burst with the first
discharge, though but one was injured.
In an interview yesterday II. C. Frick,
chairman of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, said: "The question at issue is q
very grave one. 1t is whether the Car
negie company or the Amalgamated as
( sociation shall have absolute control OF
our plant and business at Homestead.
| We have decided, after numerous fruit
less conferences with the Amalgamated
officials in the attempt to amicably ad-
| Just existing difficulties, to operate the
! plant ourselves. | can say with the
greatest emphasis that under no cir
eumstances will we have any further
dealings with the Amalgamated associ-
alton as an organization. This is final"
The exact damage 10 property at
Homestead has not been calculated.
The two barges that were burned by
the strikers belonged TO James IL. Park.
Considerable money was spent In fit
ting them up. The two barges with
their contents, outside Of the Winches-
ter rifles and ammunition, were worth
at least 81, 600 The Winchesters were
the property Of the Pinkerton Detective
Agency and were shipped to Pittsburgh
from New York some days ago TO the
Union Supply Company, one OF II. c.
F'rick's country concerns. In all there
we're 800 men and each man was pro
rided with uniform, which he was TO
have donned upon entering the works
! HARRISBURG, July S-Gov. Pattison
continues TO receive many messages
from Homestead, which he says, indi-
cate that no troops will be needed and
that the strike can be suppressed II the
sheriff makes proper effort TO do 80.
lie also says: 81 have number Of dis
patches which show that the sheriff has
been very derelict in putting forth ef-
forts TO stop the difficulties"
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July s.-Iast night
the headquarters OF the Homestead men
were invaded by three men who min.
glcd among a crowd in the rooms and
distributed an incendiSry circular, evil
IDENTIFY prepared by Anarchist societies.
The Anarchists met with the greatest
surprise Of their lives The strikers took
them prisoners and hustled them out Of
town.
CHICAGO, July SIN an interview last
evening, William A. Pinkerton declared
that Carnegie has decided TO close the
mill at Homestead until non-union men
are allowed to peaceably go TO work
and hold the county for all damages
that may result from the action Of the
strikers. In other words, Carnegie will
attempt 10 destroy the union now wag-
ing war against him.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1l.-Peace and
quiet apparently reigned yesterday, but
II is only the peace and quiet that pre-
cede storm The stiffness Of forced
quiet BODIES trouble. People remain in
doors II they meet upon the streets
they converse in whispers. No one
doubts that we are on the eve Of trouble
and those who understand the situation
look for more serious trouble even than
that Of last week. The sheriff is pow

yet this borough Of 1900 inhabitants is
in the hands Of q set Of determined men,
who propose to settle their dispute with
Carnegie without outside interference.
They make their own laws and regula-
