Capt Charles Wishart, an old river

the crack of musket and rifle and mimic
thunder of the double barreled shot
guns and the bullets rafting from the
sides of the barges, and saw the water
whipped into foam about them. Never

A sharpshooter drew bead from the
Pittsburg and McKeesport bridge on
Capt. Wishart. There was n puff of
smoke from behind pillar and the cap

They assumed position alcng the river
front and awaited the advancing barges
in silence.
The Fight.
Slowly the barges approached the
landing and then the silence was broken
by jeers and boots. Then in the dark,
angry mass of men which lined the
banks beneath the pump house were
little glints of light, which showed that
hundred hands had been in a hundred
hip pockets and came out with six
chambered revolvers full of death in
each. Still no movement was made as
the deck hands tied the steamer up to
the little landing The crowd was
waiting for the Pinkertons, the rims of
whose SLOUGH hats they could see now
and then on the bulwarks of the barges.
Down went the gangplank, and then at
its further end appeared the figure of a
man whose blue uniform and badge
could be made out in the gay light of
D O'Clock of July morning.
Toward him, TO the other end of the
gangplank, resolutely marched Billy

but women, too; women armed with
clubs as they joined the throng which
streamed up the Pennsylvania and
Pittsburg and McKcesport tracks, pick
ing its way with fine footedness born
Of long practice over the ties.
The members of the disbanded Adj
visory Board were present, urging their
fellows to maintain GOODNESS and avoid
bloodshed. AS the crowds neared the
palisade erected by the Carnegie Com
pany in the fatuous belief that 1t would
keep out the mob when its Hood was up,
it split in half. Those who were OF
peaceful intent followed the railroad
track up through the works, feeling
their way i'm the dark over the ties OF a
high trestle. Those who meant bust
ness made for the river bank, where the
barges would land. Scarcely was the
first slap of the Little Bills stern pad
die wheel heard down the dark river
when the white board fence went down.
Into the yard, stumbling over ingots
and billets, swarming about cupolas and
ringing loud defiance with their clubs
and their heels against the armor plates
meant for the country's defense, now
the bone of bloody oonte ntion among
countrymen, went the mob, wild with
warlike delight over their easy victory.

took han1 A row cf rifles cleaned an
instant from the side of the shoreward
vessel, and in an instant more n sheet
of flame ran all along her clumsy hulk
from stem to stern. Bad craftsmanship
saved hundred lives. The volley
which one would have supposed would
have broken the backbone of the riot
and blown the hopes o. the mob to hold
the mill out of their very existence, only
dropped two men. One was Andrew Soul
jer, the other an unknown Hun. On
both sides there was heavy firing for
several minutes, but the advantage en-
ioyed by the repeating Winchester rifles
of the Pinkertons was too much for the
men. For moment the crowd b came
panic-stricken and it broke and fled up
the steep embankment to cover. There
it rallied. The Pinkcrton men, discour-
aged at the loss of their captain and
disheartencd at the formidable foes they
had to meet, remained for the time mac
tive in their boats.
The first battle had been fought and
the Pinkerton guards were worsted
Their captain had received a severe
wound and several Pinkertons were
wounded. On the steel workers side
there were four fatalities and half u
score of injured. John Morris, a young
mill worker, who was in the pumping
house, received two bullets in the head

and fell forty feet TO the bottom of Il pit.
The steel workers were now in for a
bloody war and the inactivity of the
Pinkertons gave them time for effective
generalship. Homestead was secured
for arms, and firearms Of every kind
were impressed into service. small
brass cannon belonging to the local
Grand Army post was secured and was
ferrled across the river where it was
mounted near the trestle work Of the
Pittsturg McKeesrort a YouGhiogheny
Railroad. From this POSITION it sent
slugs into the sides of the Tennessee,
one of the two barges upon which the
Pinkertons were entrenched. The Mo-
nongahela was the name of the second
barge. While the men were making
these preparations for further resist
ance the Pinker, on men had put their
crippled captain and the wounded men
on board the Little Bill for Braddock.
Toe Fight Renewed.
At O'Clock there was a show of move
ment on the barges. The Pinkerton
guard who had succeeded the badly
wounded captain came to the gang
plank and called some Of the steel
workers TO him. Once more the inten-
ton of the Pinkertons to effect land
ing was stated, an | again was the an
nouncement received with aeers and de-
rision. Scarcely had he lie entered the
barge when another shot was fired from
the land side and swift fIom the baig es

that the switch was turne and that the
car would Jump the track at point
about opposite the larges aud tOpple
over On to them. The car and its
freight, blazing furiously, rushed down
the incline at "a rapid rate, hut the
switch was not set as the workmen eX-
pectcd, and the burning car ran into
hank OF earth and burned
there for two hours far away
from the barges. Oil was then
poured on the waters and fired,
but il refused TO flow toward the barges,
and burned where il fell upon the river.
Before this time white flag was sent
up from the barge Tennessee. This
signal that the Pinkertons were anxious
for truce WIS disregarded, just as the
Pinkertons in the ms rning fired upon n
flag of truce that tie workmen had un-
furlod. Three times the beIeagured
Pinkertons sent up the white signal and
as many times was IL cut 10y bullets.
The steel workers were i'm no humor TO
parley. They had tried small arms and
cannon and burning oil TO exterminate
the Pinkeltons; these had failed, and
now they had another and fearful
resort. Dynamite sticks of the deadly
compound, with short, lighted fuses,
were hurled at the barges, but time and
again they fell short OF their work. AT
length one lighted upon the roof of the
Monongahela and lay there with smok-
ing fuse. Not sound came from
within the barge; this awful method OF
attack was unknown to the Pinkcrtons.
But on the land its fr.ghtful POSSIBLE
ties were delighted in, and cheers rent
the heavens as the spark crept nearer TO

roar it exploded, but inflicted little dam

Beginning of the Trouble.

Homestead PA Correspondence.
But few weeks ago and Homestead
was the scene OF busy industry of hap
piness and prosperity. The ponderous
machinery OF the great steel plant OF
Andrew Carnegie-the life OF the village
shook the very earth, and scatter cd
through the works were nearly 1000
men, brawny OF arm and stout OF heart,
tolling in the heat of hundreds of
furnaces for the support of themselves
and families. Quiet reigned in the
streets. Laughter rolled from the coy
homes of the workmen, where joyous
children sported and wives aud daugh-
tiers contentedly went through their do
nestle duties. Almost pastoral peace
sat on the bare hillsides of the south
side that looked down upon the indus
trial scene below, and on the sylvan
hill to the north that lay ed on the
shining WI ters of the Monongahela.
Then cloud appeared in the horizon.
