PiNKERTONS TOLD NOT TO SHOOT.
The History of the Strike as Given to the
COngreSSmen.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 14.-W. D. Bynum
of Indiana was the only prompt
member of the Congressional Committee
investigating the cause of the Homestead
strike and riot this morning. He was in
the committee room at 8 O'Clock and
spent the half-hour waiting for his asso-
ciates in reading the papers. The labor
element was particularly we'll represent
ed. H. G. Frick, chairman of the steel
company, and his attorneys, were early
on hand. Mr.. Frick carried huge bun
die of data.
Chairman Oates announced in the open
ing that the commission so far had
searched only for facts, and were not
ready to make report. He declared 1t
likely there would be no minority report.
General Superintendent Potter was the
first witness. He described the general
details of the steel making and the work
performed by the different classes of
workmen. He said that the Homestead
mills were the finest in the world, and
workmcn got 80 per cent. better wages
there than in any other plant. He said
the average reduction proposed by the
company which precipitated the strike,
was 12 per cent. About 300 men were
affected. The reduction was made be-
cause the laborers were getting more
wages than in any other mill, and the in
PRODUCTION of improved machinery, in
creasing the amount of product, increased
the wages. The first disturbance that
occurred was before the mill shut down,
when he and Mr.. Frick were hung in
effigy. When one of the clerks OF the
company went to tear them down he

some of his foremen and men were
stopped by others, who tried to keep
them out of the mill. On July 2 he left
the mill, and returned on the boats Tide
and Little Bill on July 6, when the Pink
ertons were taken to the works. He was
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Gray.
AS they drew near Homestead they saw
the banks crowded with people, shouting
and firing shots. He cautioned Deputy
Sheriff Gray not to let the men commit
any over act. The crowd ran along the
bank, following them up. lie

no further than the fence OF

boats within the works. The strikers
broke through the fence and commenced
firing on them. Deputy Gray pacltled

VAUDEVILLE, July 14.-At II o'clock
this morning clouds of smoke were dis
covered issuing from the vacant store of
Mrs. A. L. Thompson on Main street,
and only by the most assiduous and
prompt work of the fire department was
a conflagration avoided. The store in
question had been used by H. M. Gould,
tailor, up to three months ago, from
which time it has remained unoccupied
and from it's situation among half doz-
en- wooden blocks the chances OF Main
street looked dubious for short time.
The fire is supposed to have caught from
chimney. The loss will be about $1,000;
insurance $4OO, with the Fire Association

take part, and to be run in connection

will be stationed on the steamer, who
will sort the mail as fast as it is received,

 man, ''Tom" O'Brien, is said to be in Chicago, or at least he was here yester- day, according to reports. It was matter of surprise that he should come to Chicago, for there are dozens of men here who know him, while all the old members of the detective force are we'll acquainted with his features.
 O'Brien was here twelve or fifteen years ago, when he worked with Post and the notorious "Doc" Baggs and made this city his headquarters, but he never did anything here that entitled him to special consideration.
 He was arrested for vagrancy, but as he always worked outside of Chicago the police here never fastened anything upon him. He is wanted, however, for tricking an old farmer living near Springfield out of several thousand dollars, and there are warrants out for him at points further west than this.
 After escaping from the New York of fcers O'Brien must have steered directly for Chicago, if the story of his presence here is true. It is said he got off 8 Lake Shore train at the Van Buren street sta tion in the morning, being unburdened with baggage. and hurried to a barber shop in the basement of No. 123 Clark street, where his beard was removed and his hair cut close to his head.
 The transformation worked by the barber is said to have been startling, for his nearest relative or best friend would not have known him. O'Brien then, it is alleged, visited Turkish bath estab- lishment near by and remained there an | hour or more, after which he entered 8 | cab and drove away.
 Where he remained in hiding during l the day is not known, but he would have no trouble in finding friends here tC l shelter him. O'Brien has not been ir | Chicago much of late years, but he has kept up communication with his friends all the time The famous bunco man, | it is claimed, visited some of his friends | in two or three Clark street sporting re- sorts last night, but kept very close foI fear detective would run across him. It is believed he was kept yeste rday al the house of friend who lives near th' stock yards.

 FA1ErTB. Mo, April 2B-This town is again on tho verge of race war be- cause of tho sale of vagrant negroes which took place here Saturday. About Q month ago good deal of excitement was caused by the sale of three yagrant Negroes. This feeling has been inten- sified by the public sale on the block of three men and one woman because they could offer no visible means of support. Fly Thompson, Wm. Miller and John Wilkins were the men. All are hearty negroes who were never before arrested. The woman was a Mary Whiteside. She was accused of vagrancy.
 The colored people were brought into the public square at II o'clock, and q great crowd of both colors gathered The whites made fun of the poor victims and the blacks freely expressed their dis pleasure at the Scene that so cruelty brought to their minds the days of actual slavery.
 The woman was put up first. She brought $10 for the sixty days work that the county fined her. The men sold for $1O, $12 and SIS respectively, being taken by reliable farmers hereabouts. The woman will work in good" family in town. Negroes declare that this must stop, or that the whites must be sold with the negroes. The sale took place on block, Sheriff Creiger officiating.

The late Mary NJ. Bourne left to Rice and his issue valuable real and personal property, ap- pointing him principal executor.
