SHUT OUT.
Tim Homestead Workmen Forcntntled
tr
tlin Firm.
PiTTsnuiiott, Piu, July 1. Tho Homo
stcid shut down went Into operation
yesterday. There wero 8,000 Idlo ton
nngo men on the streets and they havo
Invited tho mechanical department, day
laborers and watchmen to join them.
They expect the mon will do so, und if
so, tho entire plnnt will be idle.
Tho firm discharged all tho employes
nt midnight and notified them to report
for their pay nt tho olllco on Saturday.
Ry this action tho Cnrncgfcs havo
clearly forestalled the men and by
making it a lockout instead of a strike,
havo placed them on the defensive. Tho
Btrects aro crowded, but everything Is
quiet
As predicted, tho sheet iron manu
facturers und Amalgamated association
succeeded in settling their differences
at a conference hold last night Mutual
concessions wero mado. Tho settle
ment affecta about twenty-five compa
nies nnd 10,000 mon. Tho Oliver &
Roberts Wire Co. signed tho scale yes
terday morning. Tho firm employs 800
men.
During tho lock-out every means pos
sible will bo used to preserve tho peace,
nnd the end ls desired by both tho mill
owners and tho Cnrncglo company. Tho
Amalgamated association hns sworn In
twenty extra men to do police duty,
without pay, and the company has add
ed a number of watchmen to protect
their property. It Is thought tho latter
uro till well nrmed and will keep a
sharp look-out day and night
Tho trains aro being watched by com
mittees of tho association and thero aro
men stationed all over tho country at
manufacturing points to inform tho or
ganization hero should any gang of
workmen board tho train for Home
stead. A commtttea of workmen called upon
the Pittsburgh, McKcesport & Youghic
trenv railroad authorities nnd reouested
I that no trains bearing men to take tho
places of tho strikers bo stopped in tho i
limits of the yard. The request was
refused, tho officials stating that tho
yard of the Carnegie steel works wns a
regular station. Tho refusal of tho
company to comply with tho wishes of i
the men caused great excitement and ;
many threats of violence wero made!
against the railroad company.
Tho scale under which tho members
of the Amalgamated association havo
been working for tho past year oxplred
nt midnight wltU a condition of affairs
confronting both manufacturers nnd '
workers that has not occurred In recent I
years. Tho scale to govern wages in
the iron nnd steel mills employing
union men for tho year commencing to
day remains not alone unsigned, but
exhibits such a wide divergence in tho
prices demanded by each sldo us to
place a settlement very far off and
probably difficult to arrive at
No immediate effects of tho differ
ences between tho manufacturers and
their men will bo visible for somo time.
Thn tnatnrilr nt th mllla will Rhnt '
,lowll for repalrs and two weeks will
elapMS beforo any attempt to recom- I
mence operations will be made.
Thero Is still somo hopo that during
tho interval tho iron scale may havo
been mutually ugreed upon.

viblo movement Ry 1 o'clock tho
uenvens were almost covered and people
began to hurry toward places of safety.
Shortly after 1 o'clock a few persons
who were on tho beach were panic
stricken, seolngn black cloud of dread
ful funnel shape rushing ncross tho
river in a southerly direction.
With almost incredlblo swiftness tho
cyclone boro down on this city. Tho
cloud did not approach with a direct
forward movement, but bounded from
tho water llko a gigantic football. Tho
path of tho cyclone was about 400 feet
wide and whenever it struck tho water
It lashed it into foaming waves. Fort
unately no ships were in tho path of
the wind nnd It wasted Its fury upon
I .. ,
v,,u river.
In tho meanwhile the people
upon tho beach rushed for shelter.
Somo jumped Into tho river and,
us tho cyclono pnsscd over
them, thoy dived Into tho water.
Patrick Highlands was among those on
the bench. Ho ran towards liogen's
pavilion. Tho wind, however, was
closo on his heols und as he dashed Into
the building tho cyclone struck it
There was a crash of falling walls and
Highlands fell dead across the doorway
with his brains beaten out with n heavy
girder.
A toboggnn nnd merry-go-round re
ceived part of the debris and were
wrecked. Rehind Rogcn's was the
humble home of Hamilton. Hamilton,
wife and daughter wero ubout to sit
down to dinner. With appalling sud
denness tho greater part of Rogcn's pa
vilion was hurled upon tho house,
crushing it to tho ground. Hamilton
was instantly killed and his wife and
daughter badly injured nnd will prob
ably be crippled for life.
