were found to contain four and one-haF
drachms OF powder and an ounce of No.
shot, very small size for the deadly
work they were intended to do.
Little interest appears to be mani
Tested IN the expected arrival here Of T.
V. Powderly. j.. W. Hayes and other
prominent labor men. The people be-
heve that Weihe, Garland, O'Donnell
and others of their own leaders are cap
able Of managing the troubles in the
best interests of the workingmen. Inst
night O'Donnell, with three Of the local
leaders, were in Harrisburg comforting
with Governor Pattison as to the trou-
bles. 1t is understood that they will im-
perfume him not to call out the state
troops until every othes means to pre-
vent violence is exhausted.
Funeral of the Victims.
The bodies of three of the victims Of
Wednesdays bloody fray were inferred
yesterday, quietly and with little osten-
tation, in the little Homestead ceme-
terry. Dirges were the only musical Sc
lections heard on the streets. People of
the town stopped and stood by respect
fully as each grim cortege passed, but
thC AOOho VI kEiul on In6
faces OF those who had lost friends or
relatives at the hands of the Pinkertons
boded no good for those who might
make another attempt to take possession
Of the Carnegie works under the author
lty OF the great detective agency.
The body of Henry Striegel, lad of
~ years, was the first of these inferred,
He was u mere boy who had gone to the
scene of the bate to carry food to some
Of the worknen there. A stray bullet
cut short his life. A delegation of the
Turnerbund, of which he was a mem-
ber, attended the funeral yesterday
headed by brass band. Services were
held at the German Catholic church and
the body was then inferred. The other
funerals were those of Joseph Sotak, a
Hungarian. and Thomas Weldon. The
funeral of the latter was probably better
attended than those of the other two
victims. Weldon met death In a pecu-
liar way. He was attempting to break
hgun after the Pinkerton forces had
surrendered when the gun went off,
killing him instantly.
The Committee at Harrisburg,
HARRISBURG, July 0.-A large party
OF newspaper men awaited the arrival Of
the committee from Homestead at the
executive department of the capital, and
1t was 1890 before the gentlemen ar
rived. Messrs }. T. Williams, Hugh
ODonnell, ex-Representative John
Cox, DIR. John Purnam and e.. w. Sar-
yer composed the party. Everyone in
waiting was disappointed, as it was gem
orally supposed the meeting would not
be secret. However, as soon as the gem
tlemen put in an appearance they wero
closeted with the governor and Attorney
General Hensel. Nothing could be got
ten for some time.
One Of the members Of the committee
turned over to the adjutant generals
department valuable book found on
one of the harges, which contains all the
names of the Pinkerton men, their plans,
organization and contracts under which
was made to obtain glimpse of the
contents, but Major Worman, who had
possession Of the work, refused all such
requests, Before the committee leaves
the city the contents Of the book will be
submitted TO the governor, who is ex-
pocted to take action on the same.
The committee explains the absence
Of Burgess McLuckie by stating that he
thought it best not to leave the town
under the present circumstances. Pri-
vate Secretary H. Tate has been called
Into the governors private room to at
tend the conference. The committee
returned to Homestead this morning.
The conference closed at midnight.
Hugh O'Dopnell, member of the com
mittee and the representative of the
workingmen, said that the committee
met the governor at the suggestion OF
the burgess Gnd that the works at Home
stead are in the possession OF the owner,
and watchmen are now doing duty as
usual. He said no attempt had been
made to destroy property and that the
citizens of Homestead would pledge
themselves that none would be destroyed,
"At any time the sheriff could have
taken possession bad he wanted to do
30, and oven at this time he can take
possession of the works in behalf of the
citizens and sheriff if he desires to do
so," said Mr.. O'Donpell. "At no time
was any effort made to serve writ and
no one thought of doing anything he
was not permitted to do" added Mr..
O'Donnell.
Mr.. Cox said the people of his town
commend the governors action and re-
luested that he adhere to that position
until some official should report a diff
ferent status of affairs. He regretted
That the riot had occurred, but was sure
lhe blame rested with the Carnegie conn
pany for bringing armed men in with
out any official authority and also for
trying to get them into the town se-
cretly. There was no organized attempt
TO prevent their landing, simply an ac-
cidental collision.
Governor Pattison said: al am glad
to hear that comparative good order pre-
walls in Homestead, and hope that it
will continue. had taken the position
and will adhere to it, that civil authori-
ties must exhaust every effert to pre-
nerve order and peace, ana the law will
be maintained even If it requires all the
military force of the state or an appeal
TO the federal government, but 1t will
be done under the forms Of laws and in
subordination to the civil authorities.
Property will be protected and the right
OF all parties In the existing struggle
will be strictly maintained without re-
gard to the merits or demsrits Of the
business differences between them"
Mr.. ODonnell again spoke, saying the
difference between employers aud work.
ingmen could be divided into three chief
reasons. namely, difference in the scale,
time of changing scale from January to
July, and the unwillingness and refusal
of employers to deal with them as an
organization. He gave detailed ac-
count of the riot, stating he went to the
scene TO dissuade the men from doing
violence, etc.

suggestion that tho goveSnors Of Ohio
and Pennsylvania in conjunction with |
I. V. Powderly form board of arbitra-
tion to settle the difficulty, he was
asked: "Would you consent to arbitra-
tion?,
