sands of 0rangemen
WITH BANDS AND MARTIAL MUSIC.

,3 the Allegheny's Banks.
THE ORATORS REFER TO HOMESTEAD

Under blazing sun yesterday morning
Allegheny county's Orangemen trsversed
Pittsburg's streets in honor of the ami
versary of the Battle of the Boyne.
This annual occasion so well loved by
these sons Of Erin was commemorated by q
parade, followed by picnic at Hutton sta
tion on the Allegheny Valley Railroad.
From every corner Of the county, save from
Homestead, the gallant Orangemen came.
Up there the organization has lodge of 72
members
The sympathies of those who had to stay
at home were with the commemorators of
the Battle of the Boyne. Likewise were
the feelings of those that gathered on Hull
tons green sward yesterday toward the
workmen of Homestead. Indeed the ma
Jority OF the feeling was expressed toward
the men up the Monongahela.
In Sympathy With the Homestead Men.
In the groups of friends, which COM
pletely dotted the pretty picnic grounds,
the sole topic of conversation was of the
battle which is now being fought between
capital and labor. William, Prince of
Oranges victory was a minor event in the
minds of the celebrators yesterday, and
even when the speakers arose, they, too,
had but one topic-the welfare OF the
Homestead workmen.
james johnson, of Pittsburg, William
Graham, of Allegheny, and r. A. Patter-
son, of Plttsburg, were the speakers of the
day. Their one hope was that the work.
men of the Carnegie Steel Company,
Limited, would win their cause. Each
speaker commented in a glowing manner
on the victories SO far won at Homestead.
One gentleman said that if their brothers
needed the assistance of the Orangemen, the
organization stood ready to lend aid in
whatever lawful way it would be called for
He hoped, however, that matters would not
take such q serious turn. Comment was
then made on the Governors action in send
ing troops. The Pinkerton men were given
very liberal turning down.
How the Day Was Spent.
The speeches were the only entertainments
arranged for, and after they were over the
1900 people present enjoyed themselves in
many different ways. The best of order
prevailed during the day. Lovers by the
hundred wandered up and down along the
banks of the Allegheny river, or sought
secluded woodland spots to tell each other
loves story. Others hired skiffs and spent
the afternoon rowing over the waters of

party were content to sit or walk under the
protecting shade OF the forest trees, meeting
old friends and making new ones. What
ever their conversation. was in the begin
ming, before it closed the topic had been
drifted to the situation at Homestead.
Sunset brought to close their pleasant,
yet to certain extent sad celebration of so
memorable event as the battle of the Bovne,
The four sections of the Allegheny Valley
train were soon boarded, and short1p after
o'clock the picnickers were landed at
Union station.
The splendors OF the Parade.
No civic parade in Pittsburg was watched
with more interest or presented a more
beautiful sight than did that of the Orange
men as they paraded yesterday morning
Shortly after o'clock the members COM
menced to pour into New Grant street, the
place appointed for the forming of the
parade. The short and narrow confines of
this thoroughfare were soon found
to be too small and Seventh avenue had to
be. appropriated. Chief Marshal w, j.
Kyle found it no small task to form his
men, but by 10 O'Clock he had them all in
line. His aides were: Adiutant General.
