The riot to-day was the culmina

submitted a scale which was lo yov

and announced that it was their ul

men, and it was ofticially an nun need
that unless its terms were complied
with before J uly I the places of the
workmen would he tilled by others.
This was followed by a peremptory
refusal on the part of the company
to recognize the amalgamated asso

intended and no damage would be
done to property. They even offered

showed that the applications made
for the assistance of the sheriif
were merely for the pnrpoM' of
covering what was intended to be a
coup de main on the part of the
Carneyie compi.ny in clandestinely
introducing a body of l'iukerlon
guards into the mill enclosure.
These men had been rendezvoused
some live or six miles below the
city on ti e Ohio river, at which
point two model ha ryes had been
prepared for them. The barges
were tilled up with bunks, cookiny
arrangements and other accommo
dations, and, as an extra precaution,
as if in preparation for the si eye to
which they were subjected to-day,
were lined with heavy sleel plates
on the inside, while the whole back
of the deck was protci ed in a simi

l'.v I o'clock in the mommy an ef

n fierce battle was precipitated, both
sides c chauyiny heavy volleys of
shot. The rinkertons were all
armed with Winchester rilles, but
at the point where the attempt to
bind was made there was a sleep
embankment mid they were com
pelled to yo in sinyle tile and were
.soon driven back to the boats by
the steady tire from the shore. The
noise ol the battle spread about the
borough like wildfire and thous

and they poured volley after volley

of whom were stricken down by

others killed oiitriyht. As the hat

The news of the riot reached I 'itts

workers now idle conyreyated in
the streets, while I mud reds of others
armed with yarns and revolvers and
well supplied with amunition, took
up the march to reinforce the strik

secured a small brass ten-pound
cannon and planted it within the
steel billet ciiibrazurc, so as to com

time mere than a thousand men
took up ii position on the opposite
side of the river and also planted a

thiuy remains ipiiet here, but the
citizens arc becominy anxious to
have the rcyularly constituted au
thorities in chnrye once more in
stead of the present choatic condi
tion in whice ever" man assumes to
be an ol'licer, and labor leaders yive
orders as if the were the properly
constituted authorities.
A mass meetiiiy has been called
for this eveiiiny at which an effort
will be made to induce .the men to
ayree to permit the deputies to take
chiirye of the works, but were un
successful. Leual Points.
It is understood the men propose,
if possible, to have the ipiestiun le
yaliy decided whether the Pinker
tons have a riyht to briny armed
duputies here. Another attempt by
the Pinkertons is apprehended and
there is a nervous dread of what is
to come. Ayainst such an attempt
the strikers will array all the power
the- ha e.
The railroad men are in hearty
sympathy with the men and for this
reason it will be hard to surprise
the strikers with an adequate force.
The have plenty of money and the
best of ieynl counsel. Guards are
on duly ayainst surprise at ever
point and dynamite is stored all
alony the trestle tocut oil commun
ication between the two shores of
the riv er if necessary.
Another speaker said the sheriff
and the men he would briny here
would be in sympathy with the peo
ple of Homestead, lie would not
be foolhardy cnoiiyh to briny a lot
of men lu re to shoot us down. We
have their sympathy and will have
it when they come. The sheriif
must do his duty, and will do it, not
in a spirit of animosity.
Another speaker said "one lawyer
had told us what the militia can
do. If we can't believe him, who
arc we to believe'.- We all know
this yrciit struyyle, if the associ i
t ion di ies not wi n, will not amount
to a row of p'ns. In future the
ipieslion is, will we permit the
sheriif to keep possession of the
mill as our n it-iid'."' Time will show
the best thiny for us. J.et the
sheriif take possession. We know
the law is uyainst us." The ineet

"A decided stimulus is likely to

far out in the stream under the ex
citement of the moment that she
was carried o,l her feet by the cur
rent, and Miss linrr swain out ayaiu
and broiiyhl her salely to shore.
The strikiny fact about this
double rescue was not only th.it
Miss Purr was the only swimmer in
the partv , but that she had learned
to swim at I.asell L'emale Seminary
at A iiburud.i le, Mass. The princi
pal ol the scminarx , Prof. liraydou,
wrote a stiony letter on the subject
to Representative Williams, and
Mr. Williams went to the treasury
department and represented the
case so stronyly to the cxamiuine
hoard that it was voted unanimous
ly to yrant ;i medal. The
courayeous v ouny woman, if Secre
tary Luster approves the report of
the exainininy board, will enjoy a
further distinction in the fact that
her medal will be of y'ohl instead of
silver.
Silver medals are yrauted for dis
plays of heroism, and yold medals
are yrauted rarely for cases of cx
traordiiiiii dariny and endurance.
Miss Purr did not intend to o into
the water at all mi the day of the
rescue because she was not feeliny
