usual incident To disturb It's peace. but
the troubles when caused the tragedy
OF Wednesday are seemingly as far
from adjustment As ever. Under the
excellent leadership OF the prominent
associates the locked out workmen
nave maintained quiet attitude, but
beneath tie surface OF their calm de-
msanor, rigid determination exists, and
the men are ready 10 meet any emer-
gency that eonfronts them. The high
ways To and from Homestead and
the bAuks Of the Monongahesa river
are patrolled by squads Of men.
Strangers are stopped aud questioned
aud made to give good accounts of
themselves. An unusual feature of the
trouble Is that the town of Homestead
Is more quiet and orderly than it Is
when nothing OF an exciting nature Is
IN me wind. Taking the advice of the
leaders the Bseo have kept in doors all
days. No unusual gatherings are seen,
except at the railway stations and the
crossings at train time.

calm. Funerals OF three of the men
killed IN tue battle on Wednesday were
held today. but they were attended only
by that reyereutlal character that pre-
walls al ceremonies of a similar charae-
Ter ia times OF peace. This Is the sltua-
ton IN a nut shell. The most import
ant event of TINS dav OF uncertainty
other than the meeting at the rink was

tween Sheriff McCiesry of Allegheny

The meager attendance at the con-

IL vas openly stated tonightby some of
the worklngmen that they believed Me-
Cleary was waiting for an opportunity
OF creating more trouble IN order TO
turn the trend OF popular sympathy
from the strikers. Tue harsh feeling
against him is intensified by the sus-
piclon that the sheriff knew
of the intention of the Pinkerton
men TO take possession OF the
Carnegie plant The name PlnKer-
ton To the lockout workmen Is
like tue waving of red flag in
frsnt OF a bull. and In their eyes man
cannot commit greater SIN thau have
connection with the hated name. To-
night rumor gained currency that
Captain Bob Plnkerton was IN Home
stead. Today be was reported to be- IN
Pttsourg and the man to whom his
name Was applied created some excite
ment by drawing revolver on n news
paper reporter. Conservative men do
not believe that Pinkerton would take
his life in his hand without reason, for
he would do 80 by coming to Home
stead. The feeling against him here is
so strong that the coolest heads would
hardly have influence enough with the
excited people to keep him from bodily
narm.
a statement Denied.
The statenlent made today by Sec
retsFy Lovejoy of the Homestead
works that be with two other offirlsls
was prevented from entering the Car
negis property today. - denied tonight
by several OF the men prominently
connected with the strike. That is to
say their denIsls to statement that
no orders were issued tn prevent any OF
those connected with the works from
entering the property and they hardly
think it would have been applied TO
Mr.. Ioveloy II he had made himself
known. Listle interest appears to be
manifested in the expected arrival here
of II. V Povdsrly. J. W. Hayes and
other labor men. The people believe
that Messr.. Wiahe. Garland, O'Donnel
and Others of their own leaders Are
capable OF managing the troubles in
the best interest of the workingmen.
Tonight Mr.. O'Donnel with three OF the
local leaders are ia Harrisburg confer

trouble. IL ls understood that they

state troops until every other means TO
prevent violence is exhausted.
