AT HOME ESTEkD

leaving the seat of war the governor stated
emphatically that no change had been
made in the orders of the troops, and that
none was being contemplated. The gov
e-nor has made no personal investigation
among the strikers during his presence in
Homestead. Up to the time Of leaving for
Harrisburg he confined his movements TO
a official farewell visit to General Snow
denis headquarters. Sheriff McCleary. af-
ter short stay in Homestead, left on the
same train with Governor Pattison. The
sherif's destination was Plttsburg. The
two officials engaged in an earnest consul
| tation at Munhall station while waiting
for the train. Only company OF soldiers
| and fewer than a dozen civilians witnessed
| the departure, which was without demon
stration of any kind. The train wbizzed
| through the center of the Homestead mills
| enclosure, and then out into the town of
| Homestead, where only moments stop
| was made. An address from the advisory
| board of the strikers association, counsel

| train was disappearing.
| Swiftly on the heels OF the governors
! departure the serving of eviction notices
commenced on Shanty hill, and so expedi-
! tiously was it conducted that in all forty
| or fifty families subject to notice were
| served before the chief executive was ten
miles on his journey to the state capital.
| As "a rule the notices were received in grim
| sileuce and without an exhibition of feel
ing by the recipients. Chief McBrown of
the Carnegie police force, with one assist

ii. Corbett, who made the distribution in
person. Willingness to pay rent cut no
figure, clause in the lease of all the
houses giving the company the peremptory
right OF possession on ten days notice. No
distressing scenes OF forcIoIe removal were
to be seen, the ten days margin postpon-
ing such occurrences, though the talk of
some of those served indicated that If they
followed present impulses the unpleasant
spectacle was certain to be presented at
the end OF that period.
At the strikers headquarters the ranks
were reported as solid as stone wall, but
the line of strikers awaiting admission TO
the room of the relief committee was
stretched out to nearly double the length
of any day yet. Around the main gate of
the mills the gossip was that total of
about fifty men had been taken within the
fence since sundown last night. just
where the reinforcements came from, how
they got in, or who they were, is not
known.
The PENNSYLVANIA militia were tonight
taught their proper place 1t was a stern
lesson, administered by Governor Pattison
himself. AT the governors suggestion a
body of police officers, in the persons of
deputy sheriffs, was this evening placed
throughout the borough of Homestead, to
supplant the unlimited military control
that has been gradually established. The
soldiers are now to aid the civil authori- |
ties, and not TO be their superiors. Gen |
eral Snowden admitted tonight that he |
was aware that the installation of the |
sherifs representatives was at the COVER |
nor's own suggestion. He refused to discuss |
the reasons for the change in the situation, |
and denied emphatically that any differ |
ences existed between himself and the |
governor. This new arrangement, how |
ever. does not alter the military's control |
over the Carnegie mills and the company's |
surrounding houses, as this part adjoins |
the borough Of Homestead.
