tracted to the place, and us they owed
no allegiance to any organization, could
not be controlled. They wanted to see
the carnage go on, and it was not until
some of the strikers pointed their guns
at the outsiders that a hearing was OBJ
tanned.
AT o'clock the Pinkerton men hung
out another white flag, and this time it
was respected, and committee of
strikers went aboard to prepare terms
of capitulation, They guaranteed safe
conduct for the Pinbertons, provided |
they left their arms and ammunition |
behind and agreed to leave the place |
under guard. The detectives had no al. |
Tentative, and promptly accepted the
terms, some of the men saying that it |
was the first time they had ever sub
mitted to such humiliating surrender.
When an inspection of the boats was
made, it was found that at least seven
of the Pinkerton men had been killed,
and twenty or thirty wounded many
OF them so badly that they will die. AS

over the head and shoulders, intlicting
serious and in some eases, perhaps,

As the procession reached the Anal
gamated association building, the de-
tcctivcs had to remove their hats and
salute the flag. When they removed
their hats, men and women hit them
with umbrellas and Sticks, and abused
them in every way imaginable. There
seemed to be determination to kill
the prisoners, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that the dcmon-likc
crowd could be restrained. The men
were finally lodged in the opera house,
where they were to be kept for the
night. Thousands, however, gathered
around the building, and the wounded
men were kept in constant state Of
terror, and it was long before their
wounds could be dressed.
After the prisoners had been removed
from the barges the rioters had their
revenge. They carried ell into the
holds, poured it over the bedding and
furniture, and then set it on fire, first

at points below. When the flames
broke through the decks the cheers
which rent the air were deafcning, and
the ncisc could be heard miles away,
The hills on either side of the river
were literally crowded with people who
could witness from this high point all
that was TRANSMITTING on the battlefield
and be out of range of the deadly bull
lets.
The dav was one that will be rcmem-
bered with horror by the people of the
borough as well as the citizens of the
cptire comfy. who for the second time,

omoupt of money entailed in the shape
of riot losses
This was tbe bloodiest labor battle in
the history of the country and the see
onJ one that has occurred in this vicin.
