HOW THE RIVER is WATCHED.
Your correspondent had an excellent op-
portunity to-day of seeing how well the
picketing of the river has been arranged.
With two companions he went up the
Monongahela in q row-boat to the site
of the battle on Wednesday. All along
each bank of the river were groups of
scouts in threes and fours, who hailed each
boat going in the direction of the Carnegie
works and asked the business of
ITS ,Ss occupants When nearly sha car TO
negie property the reporter was
asked to give an account of himself. The
answer was seemingly satisfactory, and the
boat was allowed to proceed on it's way.
But the men along the banks watched it
closely. Some of them were lying under
trees. while others were ensconsed in little
iean-tos built to serve the occasion
Further mp the river, opposite the site of
the attack on the Pinkerton men, some OF
the pickets were sheltered by small tents.
As the boat came opposite the Carnegie
property. two of the workmen on duty
there kept pace with it along the bank of
the river to the end of the journey.

There is q mystery surrounding the dIsap-

ion Is about evenly divided that some of
them escaped from the barges and that
they fell victims to the fire from the shore,

TO ESCAPE, however. although some OF the
pickets made an attempt to overtake

asked or turn back. The men along the
banks are unusually vIgilant. acting on
the belief that messages may be carried TO
the works or that spies on their movements
are in the boats they hail.
CORRESPONDENT 'FIRED."
The saloons of Homestead, which were
but. contrary to natural OK pectations, they
did not do q thriving business. The disc,-
pline IL so perfect that men do not seem to
care to congregate in saloons. They
are guarded in their demeanor acting on
the advice Of the leaders, and each looked
out man has she interest OF his cause so
much at heart that rything that
would tend to harass IL is
avoided. But tonight some of
the OverZealOuS carried matters to an
extreme. Plckets paraded the town in
little squads and held up all who were not
known TO them. Some of these unknowns
were practically arrested and would
have been compelled to leave town
if sober headed leaders had not
admonished the patrols who made
the arrests that they wero going too far.
AS rule, strangers who could give good
account of themselves were treated
courteously after explanations had been
made. Your correspondendent was sur
rounded by q score of pickets near the
river bank. but upon explaining his busi-
ness apologies were offered and he was al
lowed to 90. Another man. Robert Her.
