FOR NEW INDUSTRIES.
A Conference With Spring6eId's
Board of Trade Committee.
ABOUT A DIRECT R. R. ROUTE.
The Views OF Springfield and Providence
People I'm Regard to New Line Be-
tween the Cities-Messrs. Greenlcaf,
Mason and Webster Talk IL Over.

A meeting of the committee on new in
room b Of the City Hall. The chairman,
Gen. Elisha Dyer, presiding.
A delegation from the Springfield Board
of Trade consisting of Messrs. Oscar S.
Greenleaf, A. ID. Mason aud w. A. Web
ster was present at the meeting and the
subject of better railroad facilities be-
tween PROVIDENCE, Springfield and the
West was discussed.
Four maps were exhibited, one of the
Atlantic Ocean showing steamer routes TO
reach PROVIDENCE; one of Narragansett
Bay showing the deep water channel to
PROVIDENCE from the Atlantic Ocean; a
railroad map showing connections with
the North and West from PROVIDENCE
and map of PROVIDENCE harbor showing
the proposed improvements. During the
meeting these maps were frequently re-
ferrcd TO.
Gen. Dyer asked Mr. Greenleaf to state
his views on the proposed railroad exten-
sion to Springfield.
Mr.. Greenleaf said that Springfield
was interested in anything which would
favor its development. The public are
not informed on the subject. Whatever
is said In the meeting will be reported ~
the people OF Springfield as accurately as
possible.
Chairman Dyer asked what the pros
poets Of continuation would be IL road
was put through to Danielsonville. This
lead to discussion and Mr.. Scarboro ex-
hibited map showing the project of
road between PROVIDENCE and Spring
field as originally proposed,
The questions of freight rates, prices of
coal, etc, were discussed and any advan-
tages which might be brought about by
railroad communication between the two
cities.
1t was stated that at times Of freight
wars goods could be shipped cheapest
through Providence.
The gentlemen said that they could not
state how much Springfield would do in
putting road through, as the public had
not considered che subject. The only
morning paper which they had for some
time opposed the plan, aud not much was
known about IL except what reporters had
spread in the columns Of the several
papers.
A merchant was afraid the great city
OF PROVIDENCE would take away great
part OF his business while many were in
favor of the plan as it would increase
competition.
After further discussion the committee
adjourned and together with the visitors
dined at the Narragansett Hotel. In the
afternoon the party inspected the works
on the cove lands and the proposed harbor
improvements. The Springfield delega-
tion returned late in the afternoon.

Resting on Their Arms.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July THE mill hands
are resting on their arms to-day and since
the withdrawal of the Pinkerton men
matters are comparatively quiet.
The list Of dead, as prepared this morn
Foy, John Fares and J. II. Kline, Pinker-
toms; Henry Streiger, Joseph Strepa,
John Morris. Anthony Wayne. Thomas
Weldron, Edward Conners, Pinkerton;
Jules Markeoski, Peter Heise, David Da-
Wis and William Johnston, two Pinkerton
men who were killed and fell overheard,
and two unknown Huns.
1t is believed that seven Pinkerton men,
three more than are accounted for in the
list, are lost. Their bodies are believed to
be at the bottom Of the Monongahela
river
The officials of the works this morning
secuted the idea that Sheriff McCleary
was in earnest last night when he issued
his proclamation calling for volunteers to
aid him in defending the mills and pre-
serving the peace.
In response to the sheriff's call Ave men
had put In an appearance this morning at
800 O'clock.
The report spread today that the
steamer Little Bill was again coming up
the river and that the mill owners had
sent another barge from Pittsburg loaded
with detectives.
Sheriff McCleary has called on the citi-
zens to act as deputy sheriffs They will
move on the mill tomorrow. Upon re-
ceipt of this news the strikers doubled
their guard on the river banks. The
b)ats, however, did not put in an appear
ance. II Is thought exceedingly improb-
able by most people that the company
will again attempt to send Pinkerton men
or any other armed force to the mills, in
view Of the decisive victory OF the strikers
yesterday.
The Pipkerton guards are lodged in
train OF five cars In this city under the
charge of the police.
There are thirty-five Pinkerton men
confined In the city hospital.
A thousand armed men are guarding

Tie same vigilance was maintained at
his home. The opinion is freely ex-
pressed that he should be placed under
arrest by the authorities for precipitating
the riot and being responsible more than
any one else for the awful loss of life.
Capt. +. ii. Heinds of the Pinkerton
forces is at the Homeopathic Hospital.
His right leg is terribly injured and will
probably he amputated to save his life.
His story of the affair is as follows:
"W hen we reached the Baltimore and
Ohio IL was about 3 A. NJ A heavy fog
greatly obscured things but we could see
host OF the strikers and their families
on the river banks, as we neared the
works the firing commenced on the banks.

The firing then ceased and we could see
swarms OF people crowding down the bank

plank was lowered Kline and myself start

BERLIN. July THE Reichsauzctger,
the official organ of the government, re-
ferred yesterday for the first time to the
Bismarck polemic. It declares that the
utterances attributed to the prince are
not Of such practical value as to induce
the government To concern itself with
them. The newspapers published last
night, which are the most friendly toward
Prince Bismarck, express their regret and
disappointment at the tone of the bitter
personal invective employed by the prince
against Chancellor Won Caprivi. They
also express the opinion that IL the con-
troversy continues on the present lines
the government will be compelled to take
suppressive measures against Prince
Bismarck.
The Hamburg Ndthrtchten makes a
further onslaught on the government
which was probably written by Prince
Bismarck. The article in question de-
nounces in most bitter terms measures
which it is alleged were resorted to in
order to prevent audiences between Prince
Bismarck and Emperor Francis Joseph
during the recent visit Of the ex-chan-
cellor.

In the Court of Common Pleas yester-

orderly person.
The defendant gave his version Of the
affair, stating that he used to spend his
entire earnings for his and Mrs. Trscy's
joint support. Last winter she became
enamored Of another man and notified
him that she could not again take board
ers, and he must make arrangements else
where.

Yesterdays Frightful Chapter in the
Homestead Iron Lockout.
PTTTsBURo, Pa, July 7.-Pittsburg has
had another experience with labor riots,
and this time, as during the fearful
scenes which were witnessed during the
railroad riots OF 1877, blood has been
shed, life jeopardized and valuable prop
erty placed in danger. This time there
was no destruction Of property, but the
mob was thoroughly well organized, well
disciplined and had efficient officers at
the head to conduct the operations.
The force embraced all the men en-
ployed In the extensive plants of the Car
negie Iron and Steel Company at Home
stead, some eight m lies cast of Pittsburg,
and battle which for blood thirstiness
and boldness Of execution wad not been
excelled In any actual warfare wagsd
from o'clock In the morning until 5
o'clock In the afternoon, and only ceased
when the force OF Pinkcrtons brought to
the place to suppress the strike, uncon-
ditionally surrendered, leaving their
arms In the barRes In which they had
been transported TO the works.
The riot yesterday was the elimination
of the troubles which have been brewing
Mt Homestead for the past months. The
