says the strikers did. So does Deputy
Sheriff Gray, who was at Homestead for
several hours yesterday while the fight
was progressing. The strikers say the
Pinkerton men fired first. That is all
that is known at this writing.
The Battle RaGes Hotly.
However that question was be settled,
the fight was begun. The firing became
general, and the worknen retreated for a
moment but rallying took up positions in
the works behind shelter and when fifty
OF the guards tried to 90 ashore met them
with a volley that drove them back and
wounded five or six The Pinkertons then
drew in the gang plank and sheltering

they saw anything to shoot at and the

Appearance of Another Steamer.
From SIS to 1870 a. M, however, little
firing was done At the latter hour the
steamer Little Bill was seen approaching
with the United States flag flying. Her
approach had been anticipated by the
strikers picket, and as soon as she was in
gunshot a fire was opened on her By
this time the strikers had gotten possession
OF two cannon ,one of which was posted on
the river bank above the works and the
other across the river from the works, and
both of these opened fire on the Little Bill,
without effect, hover, except that shot
from the gun across the river killed one OF
the strikers.
The Little Bill Driven OF.
Men on the Little Bill and on the barges
returned the strikers fire, but the latter
Mas too hot, and the steamer was driven
off amid the yells of the mill men. While
this was going on the talk among the mill
men was in effect: Before the mill is run
by non-union men it will have to be built
1t should be stated here that the tug Tide
which had brought the barges to the land
ing, had cast them off Immediately and
left for this city, so that the barges with
the Pinkertons could not get away. The
barges had swung off from the bank, sc
that the mill men could not get aboard
without pulling them in, and that would
have been certain death to any one " he
had tried it.

Desperate Fight.

Desperate Fight.
PITTsBURG, July I'm these dispatches
of July it was reported that the Car
negie company were loading cots on
barges in Allegheny City to send to Home

threatended that there would be bonfire
when the cots arrived. Well, the bonfire

opposing forces were the men from whom
Sheriff Cleary had to get pass before he
was permitted inside the property Of the
Carnegie company, and who sent his
deputies back to Pittsburg Tuesday, and
about 800 Of the hated Pinkertons on the
other.
Net Results of the Turbulence.
It is difficult to discover just what the
result of the days work yesterday will be.
But as near as can be ascertsined there are
about dozen men of the Piukerton force
either killed or wounded-three being
dead. OF the mill men, it is still more diff.
ficult to write correctly, but it seems that
seven have been killed-one probably by a
cannon fired by the strikers at the Pinker.

bly, fatally. The barges with the cots were
burned, and the Pinkerton men who sur.
rendered threatened with lynching, al
though the surrender was accompanied
with pledge of safety to the guards.
The Boats Loads of Furniture.
Early yesterday morning two barges
containing the cots referred to above and
probably some other furniture required te
provide for men who are fed and housed
where they work, were taken in tow by
the tug Tide at this city and moved ul
the river to Homestead. On board the
barges were 800 Pinkerton men whose
duty was to act as wstchmen inside of the
Homestead mill property and of course tc
protect as far as they could the furni turt
on the barges during it's voyage to the
mills.

A Story of Two Boys.

Atlanta Constitution
The Raleigh State Chronicle tolls Il
good story Of the late Ex-Governor W.
w. Holden which is worth condcnsng
and reproducing here.
Holden started in life as u printers
devil, One cold morning the boy was
delivering papers, and at Il rich mans
mansion he was invited into the dining
room to warm himself by the fire. A
handsome college boy on /; visit to the
family was sitting at the table, and
when the little devil left, this comtorta-
ble aud happy youth handed him albut-
tered buiscuit.
Young Holden walked off eating his
buiscuit, envying the college student
and feeling very blue.
Time brings wonderful changes.
Thirty years later the boy who gave the
buiscuit was defeated for governor by
the barcfooted lad who received it.
There is plenty Of encouragement in
this story for poor boys, and they vii!
not stop to inquire whether the right
man was elected or not.
