The Pirtsbu-s Riot /.

PTTTsBURG, July 7.-Shenff McCleary,
in addition to the proclamation last eve-
ming calling on all good ci;izens to ap-
pear armed at bis Office this morning,
cent Ont number of personal summonses
to the same affect early this morning.
Neither proclamation nor summons bad
much affect. At 8 o'clock, the hour
mentioned, only one man appeared under
the general proclamation, and of the $50
men personally summoned only 12 re
sponded. AS 1t was apparent suffi-
cientls large force could not be got to
gether, the sheriff decided to postpone
his trip to Homestead till to. morrow. In
the meantime he will issue additional
summonses. Much reluctance is shown
ov citizens about going to Homestead,
where they know a fight would await
them. In this city and Allegheny there
are 5000 members of the Amalgamated
Association who, OF course, would not
march against their fellow workDen.
Figures at the sheriff's office show 16
killed and 62 wounded, six of whom will
die, making the total larger than that IN
the riots of 1877.
Eleven workmeu were severely hurt,
SIX of whom may die, and % others
slightly injured. Nearly every one of
the PInkertons are more or less hurt.
Seventeen of them are suffering from
gunshot wounds. and the remainder bear
evidence, by cut. bruised and swollen
heads and faces, of the rough treatment
they received at the hands of the work
men, when they surrendered last evening
and came out of the boats. The applica.
tion OF fists, clubs, stones and brickbats
as they rae the gauntlet of the crowi left
them in horribly battered up condition.
but it is not believed any of them will die
from the effects OF the beating they re-
ceived. They came mostly from Chicago,
New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston. Ali of them, except those in the
hospital who were unable to go, left for
New York this morning on a special train
on the Pennsylvania road. Every man of
them was only too glad to get out OF the
neighborhood. A deputy who returned
from Homestead this morning says the
taking of posse to that place would
surely bring about conflict. The men
are flushed with yesterdays success and
are unreasonable, A double force of
policemen are on duty in this city to pro.
vide for an emergency in the way of tur-
bulence among idle crowds in the streets.
The home of H. e Frick was guarded by
private detectives last night. Others are
keeping a personal guard over Frick.
Lovejoy, secretary of the Carnegie Steel
Company, SAID this morning the company
could do nothing until tho sheriff restored
to its possession Its property. He added:
"The time for conference with the men
has gone by, but those who wished will
be given work indisidualls"
The sheriff again telegraphed the gov
ernor at noon saying all means were
exhausted. and he left the matter in the
hands of the governor. Three of the in.
jured workmen are in precarious con-
dition, and death is expected at any
.noment-William Foy, George Ritter,
Richard Durham. Physicians who ex
amined the wounded Pinkertons say the
hands of most of them bear evidence of
hard work. Several of them told him
they were mill men and came here for
the purpose of working, not fighting.
There are now 81 wounded Pinkertons in
the hospital Michael Commas, one of the
number, died of his wounds this morning.
He came from New York city. Ed
Jacovoy, another, will also probably die.
