An Englis mdp. .iiamed r. J. Crowley
has taken out patent in Great Britain
for opening up direct communication
with Mars. He writes.to The st. James
Gazette, giving delightfully."- vague
hint of what his secret process is. There
is no difficulty but expense in the way,
he says. He has had much expense in
helograph signaling, and his plan CON
sists in the arrangement of series of
mirrors to collect and reflect the light
these to he connected by electricity and
operated by telegraph key. He pro-
poses to establish communication with
parts of the universe that even pho
Biography has not shown u.s." Mars, he
says, is doubtless in communication with
other planets, and the Martial people are
tearing their hair because they can't
"raise" us, as telegraphists say.

Electricity In Drowning Cases.

An account of electricity as life
saver comes from Scotland, where a
man, while bathing, was seized with a
cramp and sank, being two minutes be-
low water. When rescued he was
thought to be dead but after two appli
cations of the electric current anima-
ton was restored. The current was
passed between the nape of the neck and

The federal census of 1890 returned
the adult white male population Of the
United States at 1G,Oi0,3ll. Deducting
the aliens, Of whom there are more than
a million, and the electors resident in
the territories, the total number of quail
fed electors was l5,js3.3l3. Fully 10
per cent. of these, for n variety of causes,

The Washingtons outbatted the Pittsburgs
yesterday, having total OF fifteen bases on
hits, but lost the game by poor base running.
Mullane was out of sorts in the opening
inning at Cincinnati Yesterday and on his bad
pitching and bad decisions by the umpire the
Philadelphias made five runs in the first inning.
The Reds worked like Trojans to catch up, but
could not make the runs.
The BrOOklyns won two games from the
Chicago Colts yesterday afternoon and put
Washington back in seventh place in conse-
quence The first, fourteen-inning contest,
was the prettiest game seen ON the home
grounds this season. Each side scored one run
in the eleventh. Clean hits by Burns and
Griffin in the fourteenth sent in the winning
run. 1t was 4:45 when the second game was
called. The Colts found Hart easy. but Ward
swung Haddock into the box in the sixth, after
his side had a run the best Of 1t, and won out.
Cleveland had but little trouble in defeating
Baltimore yesterday. Six hits were punched in
the second and runs scored. The Orioles
hit well, but could not put their hits together
Burkett, Van Haltren and McAleer made bril-
liant catches.
Poor fielding lost the game for the Giants
yesterday at Louisville. Both pitchers were
batted freely, but the New Yorkers could not
handle the Coionels' balls. Jennings and Doyle
did brilliant work.
BOston's champions gave an exhibition of
their ability to slug the ball at st. Louis yester-
day. They jumped onto Breitenstein's pitching
in the second inning, and before they concluded
to quit hitting the ball they had scored runs.
Staley retired in favor of Nichols in the third
inning, and Mike Kelly relieved Bennett in the

THE SECOND BATTLE.

Fighting Was Resumed at Homestead Soon
After O'Clock.
PIrrsBURa, Pa, July 6, $50 a.m.-The fight
ing between the PInkerton forces and the work
men was renewed shortly after O'Clock and
the battle continued for fully half an hour
The second conflict was precipitated when an
other effort was made by the Pinkerton men to
effect a landing A number of workmen
were injured in the second encounter.
but their names cannot be obtained
at this writing. The widest excitement
isprevailing in the town. Thousands of workmen
from all the surrounding places are reported to
be marching toward Homestead TO reinforce the
workers that have made such vigorous and
unexpected resistance to the attempts to land
the hated Pinkerton detectives.
In the second engagement at 7:30 am. Henry
Streagel was killed and some wounded. Viii
liam Foy was shot and killed at the first en-
gagement. The bodies of both men were
taken home. Great excitement prevails.
The workmen have built a fortifcation of
steel bars in the river bank, and over 1 900 men
are within. They opened fire, and it is sup
posed that several of the Pinkerton have been
killed on the boat.
At $50 O'Clock the firing was resumed IN a
desultory manner. A workman named Wallace
was fatally shot at 9th street. He was removed
to his home.
The crowd on shore kept constantly increas-
ing, as the morning wore on, and became more
determined than ever to prevent any one from
the boat landing. All the trains were carefully
watched and all means Of entering the works
were guarded by the men, and desperate
struggle is promised
All along the river and railroad men were
stationed to watch and give warning of the ap-
proach Of any trims or boats.
THE PrNKERroNs' THREAT.
Before the second attempt was made to land
the officer in charge announced to the crowd of
workmen assembled on the bank that his men
were Pinkertons and that he would
land them il he had to NOW down
everybody in sight. He then ordered
his men to advance, and as they advanced from
the barge they were met by q shower Of lead
from the rifles and pistols of the workmen.
The officers fell back for an instant as il re-
pulsed but they were promptly rallied, and,
marching eight abreast, endeavored to get
ashore. They were driven back again, how
ever.
1t ID not definitely known how many men are
on the two barges. There are thought TO be ct
least three hundred in their party.
Several Of the Pinkertons are injured, but no
one is allowed to 60 aboard and their injuries
cannot be definitely told.
Already four Of the lockedout men have been
killed John Morris was killed in the last effort
to land the officers. Another man was killed
but was carried away BY his friends before he
could be idsatiHed.
The killing Of Morris seems to have craxed
the people, and men, women and children are
running through the streets crying for rsvsnss
and for blood

From Homestead to the pump house il is good
two miles, but all things considered these half

record-breaking time. Once there they gath

Slowly the tide brought her silent consort down
the channel
STRIPPING FOR ACTION.
Just below the Pemicky bridge she partly
turned her prov toward the shore and then,
amid the shrieks Of steam whistles and the
angry groans and misses from those gathered on
the banks, the occupants Of the boats stripped

gathered on the shore. There was one lonely
instant Of awful silence and then bright fash
and a sharp report announced that the first
shot of the battle had been fired 1t also proved
that the detectives had determined TO take ex-
treme measures and, if necessary, fight their
way to the mill.
Almost Immediately after the first shot had
been fired the firing became general on both
sides. At first the strikers retreated and for a
moment it looked as though they were COM
pletely routed, but the men quickly rallied, and
although they retired from the immediate vicin-
ity Of the boats, they held their own. and by
the sheer weight of numbers they compelled the
deputies to proceed with caution.
ATTEMPTS TO LAND.
Up to this time no one had attempted to
leave the boat, but suddenly fifty or more of
the invaders attempted TO jump ashore. The
strikers responded with a sharp volley, and so
thick and fast came the bullets that the depu-
ties retired to the semi-shelter Of the lower
deck 1t was in this attempt to force the fighting
that the Pinkerton men sustained their most
serious loss. Their captain was carried to the
pilot house Of the steamer. One of his men in

though the wound was serious. il was not fatal
Directly after this episode both sides rested for
a few moments, and then after another sharp
volley, which did little or no damage to either
side, hostilities ceased.
PINKERToN's SEEK SHELTER
At z O'Clock all was quiet, the Pinkerton' & had
not yet succeeded in landing. After the first
attempt, in which they were repulsed, they
sought shelter in the lower decks Of the Tide.
The boat lis anchored about twenty-five yards
out from the river bank. The captain of the
