Ihey surrender victory VIC
have them nowl" and like cries rung
out Then Hugh O'Donnell, accom-
panied by two or three Of the old ad-
visory committee, ran down the steep
bank to receive the message of peace,
The spokesman Of the Pinkertons an
nounced that they would surrender on
condition that they be protected from
violence After a short parley this was
agreed to, though multitude OF en-
ragged people were bowling for the
blood OF the men who killed their com
rades.
AS soon as the committee had ar
ranged the preliminaries hundred men
from the shore climbed upon the boat
A reporter went on the craft and there
found one dead and eleven wounded
Pinkerton men. Asked where they
came from, one big fellow, who looked
like tough, said Boston and Chicago
had furnished the most of them, but
there were some from other places. The
steel workers did not let them talk long,
but ordered them to hurry out.
The latter took them from the boat in
double file and for a moment did not
know what to do with them. Cries of
''To the woods" Lynch the dogs"
ETC.. were heard on all sides. Every
striker seemed as If he wanted a par
ticular man among the Pinkertons
Some one suggested that the guards
be marched TO the big skating rink and
there tried for murder. Many Of the
captors would not listen to this. Some
of them wanted to take the Pinkertons
and shoot them as they stood. Cooler
heads, however, prevailed and the
march to the rink began.
Several thousand people crowded
around them on all sides and demanded
revenge for the killing of the strikers
during the day. In the crowds were
hundreds of women, who tore the
clothes from the backs Of the guards.
The latter had their Pinkerton uniforms
on over their citizens clothes and these
were pulled off and thrown into the
river. All their firearms were taken
from them and after considerable fight
ing, the eleaders forced a passage through
the crowd, and at last reached the rink.
While the men were being formed in
line for the march to the rink part Of
the strikers boarded the boats. They
ransacled everything and secured $50
rifles. The men took from the boats
what they thought Of value and then
burned the barges
! At an early hour this morning the
Plnkerton men were taken to Pitts
burgh under escort of the advisory COM
mittee of the mill men.
PITTSBURGH, July y7.-After three tele-
grams TO the governor for state aid in
suppressing the fast increasing disturb
ances, Gov. Pattison wired the follow
ing to Sheriff McCleary: "Your tele-.
grams indicate that you have not made
any attempt to execute the law to en-
force order and must insist upon your
calling upon all citizens for an adequate
number of deputies"
This showed that the governor was
determined not TO proceed in the mat
ter. The sheriff issued the following
proclamation, which was posted up:
"All good citizens are hereby notified
to appear at the sherifrs office Thurs
day morning with arms and subsistence
to aid the sheriff in suppresstng the riot
now in progress at Homestead"
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July s.-Homestead
is quiet Fearing that perhaps another
effort would be made to land worlsmen
and deputies at the works Thursday
night, the worlmen detailed R,strong
armed squad to guard every approach
to the immense plant The complete
routing of the Pinkertons puts the men
in high spirits and the more radical de-
clare that should another attempt be
made by the company TO obtain posses
sion Of its property, the enemy will re-
ceive even worse treatment than that
given the detectives brought here on the
barges.
Mr.. ODonnell aud other conservative
leaders denounce the action OF the mob
after the surrender Of the deputies as
brutal and cowardly. The great major
ity OF the men who are locked out had
no hand In the assault upon the de-
fenseless men. They did all in their
power to protect the men who had
thrown themselves upon their mercy.
But they were powerless to control the
angry mob of foreigners, especially the
female portion Of IL
On every side evidences OF the fierce
conflict were visible yesterday. At the
waters edge the fragments Of freight
car were all that was TO be seen, the
burned barges having broken away
from their moorings and gone adrift.
The ropes holding the barges in check
were burned and the cargo Of flame, for
such IL was, went down the Mononga-
hela and the last OF the fleet which was
the cause of the. great battle lodged
itself right In the center Of the stream
near the Homestead water works. A
committee Of pickod men made thor
ough round of the works Not de-
partment or single hiding place was
overlooked. A search was made in every
available place in an endeavor TO locate
any armed guards who during the scrim-
mage might have escaped and sought
quarters in the recesses OF the great
plant The search was complete, but
not man was TO be seen. When the
committee was perfectly assured that
there was not man concealed in any
part Of the works IL retired TO the gen.
eral headquarters and there action was
taken which goes 10 show how the men
have endeavored TO preserve peace. In
substance, the committee decided TO
place in the works every watchman en-
ployed by the company who deserted
the plant.
