An nlgamatod association , which Mauds on a
corner not far from the works , nnil Is where
thomon moot The strikers nro constantly
in expectation of n right nnd the prompt nc-
ccntnnco of the offer shows this , mid nso the
realization the tneti have that the next llpht
Is likely to hnvo n tnoro sorlous vomit than
the previous battle.
Mr. O'Oonnoil himself was very non-com-
tnltlnl when interrogated upon this point
this evening , nnil merely stated that Dr. M.
O. Buchner , of the Pittsburc Maroy hospi
tal had called ana otTorcd Ilia ftsslstmco and
also offered to receive any wounded that
might now bo In the city.
They Mint Olitilit I'nrmlMlitii from the
Striker * to Muy hi llomcsteail.
HoMcsrcvn , Pa. , July 10. Una of the
curious episodes of the day was the round-up
of unbadgod nowsnapar tiion nt the strikers'
headquarter ] Immodlatoly upon their or-
rl\ul from 1'lttsnurj. Ttioro were ubout
half n dozen correspondents dn the nttonioon
train Into UotnoUoitd , and immediately upon
leaving tbo cars thov were 'not by several
nolito well drojsod gentlemen , and asked
wlmtthoir buslnosj was In town. As soon
as It was explained , the correspondents
were told to co right to hoadqu&rtori , uuvo
themselves Idoitlllod and got a badge , and
In ardor that there should bo no tnistnko
about the dlroctlon , several volunteer * came
tilontr to show the way. Tno whole thing
was done so iiuiotly and with such n oom-
ploto air of good ( minor , tnat Itvn some
limobjforo any of the ropjrtors imagine !
that there was any thins Itlto duro Intended.
Uven then it only dawned upon thorn gradu
ally. When the little party was brought to
the headquarters It was found that Mr.
O'Donncll ' , who Is the cotnmtttoo on proas ,
was absent at rest. Ho had been up the
whole o f Uio preceding night. Nobody olio
could Issue the b ndpos , and tbo irontloincn
were advised that It might bo Imprudent to
co away from headquarters wltuout tholr
llttio square of wulto calico.
Kept In Duress ior Two Hours.
"Of if wish " said
course you can go you ,
Mr. Crawford , one of the committee , "out
you may ho subjected to anuoymico and 1
would advise you to stay hero until O'Don-
nell has seen you. "
The gonilomen nil agreed to stay , and a
few moments later some of the reporters
gathered In and warmly recommended ttie
most exact oocclietico to tiny ndvico tendered
by the committee. The duress lasted about
two hours before O'Dunnoll nppij ircd , and
oven then It took moro than half an hour for
the uadces to bo awarded , the committed
being in anything but an atniablo mood , one
of them suggesting that the mode nf idcntill-
cation was so loose that If tno Plnkortoni
were not fools they would bo well repre
sented among the so called reporter * .
That there nro at least a dozen I'lnltortons
in the town is conceded bv the committee ,
wtio thus explain the stringency of tholr
press regulations , and stones nro told ot the
extreme vigilance with whfoh everybody is
watched. Olio suspect , last mght was
stripped to his underclothing , his papers
closely examined , and nothing being found ,
his monov and other things were returned to
him , but he was taken to the track and
pointcu out the way to Pl.tsbunr. He had
aroused suspicion by lying about among
several groups and ono" man bad followed
him for hour bolero ho was talci'ii in hand.
The pitnots are bv no moans v olont. Thay
question n stranger politely , but If tie cannot
give a good account of himself he must leave
the town at nnco.

IJnMcsTiu : > , Pa. , July 10. There Is no
promising indications that those Jealous
humanitarians , who hnvo charged that arbi
tration bo invoked to settle the existing ditll-
culty uotwcon capital and labor will overreach
roach the reall/.ation of their hopes. His stat
ed that the Carnegie coaioany has received
the suggestion with depressing chilliness ,
ana the leaders of the strikers intimate that
they consider the Amalghinatod association
moro competent than any outsider to pre
serve the interests of labor In the present
difficulty. To an audience of nowspanor
men this afternoon , Mr. O'Donnoil road the
following letter , which among many others
ho received in today's , mail.

O'Dimllell on Arbitration.
"What do vou thinlc of this suggestion for
arbitrationi" Mr. O'Donnoil was nskod.
1 could not say anything uollnito about
the proposition tor arbitration , fur I have not
tallied to thii Amalgamated association.
Speaking for myself , however , 1 will buy
that I think wo have Intolilgeiico enough In
our ranks to settle our own affairs. 1 do not
think wo would approve of such a proposi
tion. It is not customary to settle our mat
ters in that way. '
Abettor wus today received by Mr. O'Don-
tiell from Hotuco Ij. Stiles , lawyer , of Wash
ington , D. U. , urging that "tho advisory
committee ) reorganise , legally incorporate
ana uy inciriiungn bill in equity claim illegal
lion upon the company's property. "
' As you are in possession"say.s the letter ,
"tho company could not eject you us Mini-
maiily as they seem disposed to do. Let your
company announce thatVour , p'opsussioii Is
under color of title and demand of the sheriff
that ho show legal warrant for your dispos
session. Ciot the host legal talent of Pitts-
burg , Hnrrisburg and Philndolphia und give
them u battle roval and Institute criminal
process againstMr. . Filck for murder and
treason. "
This letter was read with co.nsldcr.iblo In-
terosl and at Its conclusion it w'us staled that
as the Amalgamated association win. repre
sented by three nf the leading lights of the
Alleghunoy'counly bar the suggestion would
bu referred to them.

enclosed a drawing of a clioap und cITectivo

"These letters and suggestions , " sain Mr.

HnMitsicAi ) , Pa. , July ID , Intense oxclto-
muut WUH created lute tonight by the an
nouncement that the Pennsylvania militia ,
8,000 strong , had boon ordered out and would
arrive In Homestead tomorrow. Too news
( lathed ever the wlros to this city at 11:01 :
p. m. , and a few minutes later It bud coma to
the oura of the Blrlkoni. At first thu report
wan received with Incredulity , but u few In
quiries among the prim njoreaoutotivoi cou-
vtncaJ thorn UinL It was right , I.lttlo
groups cixttiored.itj / the street corners ami
the situation waa discussed in low but
earnest tones , , , .Tho hot-hoadud strikers
were Hist dlspSsod to bo a Itltlo
delimit and thofU Were oocnslonal declara
tions that oven the , uillitl i would ho onposod ,
but when It was learned that tno division
ordered out numbered 8,000 , f-ojo declara
tions promptly grttc way to "Oh , well , wo
hsvo bant the Piukonons nuyway. Tnoy
did not dare to come , " and thus consolation
Is found In the t'oilcl'liian that the inoit hated
enemy of or anlxsd labor the Pinko rton
guards had bcouujillgoJ to confess doloat
und glvo up thu battle.

"Tho loaders ofr'tho strikers were unusuaily
uncommunicative.Vo can't talk , " was tbo
response to nil Interrogations. Later the
opinion was freely exnrossod uy the rank and
lllo that the militia would bo received by no
hostllo demonstration and that tin nrmlstlco
would bo declared uutllut .er tholr departure.
"Hut they will have to go away some time , "
sala the loader ot a little group near the
depot , "ana when they do wo would like to
sco them run the mill non-union. "
This little sentence expresses , ns fully ns
possible , the situation that will Do ushered
in by the advent of the militia. As long as
this army of militiamen are on the ground
there will be no opposition from the stilkers ,
no lawlessness ana no violent uamonstru-
lions. Hut when the militia Is withdrawn
the strikers will swoop down Hue birds ot
prey upon the non-unionists , whom it Is
attempted to ln tall In their places and they
will bo rant to pieces hi' their oncmlos.
IVnr They \VII1 Muugglu In I'lnl.urtoim.
Tins is undoubtedly the nlun of the strik
ers und the chief fear of their lenders is now
that the Curnegio company will hasten to In
stall the non-union worKmcn in the mills Im
mediately upon the arrival of the militia. IT
this Is done , u great /anlngc will bo gained
by the company in the possession and occu
pancy of the null , and as tin opportunity
would also doubtless bo afforded them to
bring In arms for the defense of their worn-
men , the strikers would bo at a great disad
vantage oti the rotlrompnt of the militia.
At midnight the horrlblo fear took posses
sion of the strikers that the company might
ovou sneak In Pinkerton men In dlsuulso of
workman , whllo thu militia hold possession ,
and as such u move would mean practical
triumph over the strikers , the suspicion has
caused great perturbation. Altogether tbo
strikers nro in a very uneasy frame of mind
late tonight and their anxious faces give
evidences of their excitement. It is possible
that a fooling of desperation ever the pros
pects may cnuso the hotter headed to counsel
violence to the militia , but It is sale to say
such a suicidal policy will not bo approved
by the leaders and if endorsed by th'o moro
ignorant workmen will bo carried out only
in the face of do'.ormlnod opposition fro in
the leaders.

i'lTTsiiruo , Pa. , July 10. Henry Clay
Prick , the chairman of the Unruogio Stcnl
company , limited , who has boon identitled
with the present trouble at Homoitoad , is n
man of indomitable courage and will power.
Ho is a native of Pennsylvania , born nt West
Ovorton , Westmoreland county , December
10 , 1SIU. His father , a farmer of means , guiM
him a good education and a chance to know
the world , so that at 20 years of ago ho was
iulrlv well equipped for life. Ho began it
with small display as clerk in a dry goods
store nt Mount Pleasant , and in IbGO im
proved his business icnowlodtro us booukeoper
at his grandfather's Hour mill and distillery
at Ilroadford , 'in' ' Pavotto county. Whllo
there ho discovered tbo possibilities in the
coke business , and with n fullness and
clearness which conlltmed his faith In it.
With such capital as ho could command ho
bought , an Interest In a coal tract near
Hroadford , and \vlh | some other young men
built IHty cokn , ovens. Encouraged by his
experience with tljcsq , moro coke land was
bought. i
A\IOJI | tin * r.inu * cuiiiD. ,
In 1S73 the p oilo camo. That was the
source as well us the ruin of fortunes. It
was the rldo which overwhelmed the weak
but carried tbo strong on to renewed
strength. Mr. Pndt's partners , embarrassed
bv endorsements , had to sell tholr interests ,
which ho induced certain men to buy. As
the financial distress increased other coke
men were forced to soli , and Mr. Prick was
on hand to buy , and ovens which ho could
not ouv IIP leased. Meantime , his enter
prise was called rashness , and there were
prodic-Jons that the tide would overwhelm
him next , but ho kept heart and struck out
all the more vigorously. In answer to the
predictions , when the revival of business oc
curred , ho pointed to the annual prollts of
the leased evens as greater than the value of
the ox'cns themselves.
Ho carried on tbo business In his own
name until 1S73 when ho sold a share in It to
13. M , Pereuson of Now York , when it was
known as thu of U. 0. Prick & Co. In 1SSJ
the Carncgles bousht a largo share In it and
the name was changed to the II , C. Prick
Uoko company. It was then the largest coke
company in the world , controlling 12,00'J
acres of coal land and more than 4,000 ovens ,
giving employment to moro than 5,000 hands
\Titilu It th Unit In the U'orld.
Whllo enlarging the output every means
was used to maKe It thu best in the world.
Toootainpuro waterworks wcra erected
costing u quarter of n million. As a result the
coke was demanded 'or a steadily Increasing
variety of uses und its reputation llrmly
llxed.
It Is said that no othnr man over saw "oo
far into the future of the craat Uonnollsville
industry as ho did , " and certain it Is that no
mnn ever ventured u pen it with moro con
fidence , put.sucd. it with moro energy or
reaped from It a greater reward.
A few vc.iri later ho bought nn interest in
the linn at Carnoiriu , Phipps & Co. , and
when W. L. Abbott retired throe months
ago ho succeeded him us chairman. On .lulv
1 of this year all tuo ( Jarnoglo interests were
consolidated , with a capital stock of ? ; "iOJJ- , ( ,
000 , and Mr. Prick was givou absolute con
trol of the gigunlta concern. His wealth is
variously estimated at from ? "i , 000,000 to
Ton years ago he was married to Miss Ada
Chitds , daughter of the Into Asa P. Childs , u
prominent iill7un of Plttsburg and for munv
years nt the head of the Pennsylvania cotton
mills. Tlio union was blessed witn three
children. Ho resides In ono of the handsom

language. Chairman Holmes announced
that the following resolutions had been prepared -
pared by the committee nnd ho proceeded to
lead them :

The bloody battle at Hoinostoud revives
memories of the terrible labor riots ut Pitts-

The struggle sot the country ullame. Prom
that point labor striko- > spread like u coutu-
gion , shaking the country from center to cir

An ox-militia man who figured in riots at
Pittsburg recently laid iho story of Iho part
the militia played in the bosom of blood and
tiro. Ho said : "It was about 1:30 : m the
afternoon on theUOth of July , IS" , when our
train pulled out of the depot at Philadelphia
and good-byes were called out , accompanied
by laughter and Jests. As wo sped ever tlio
country at a rate that mude us all wonder ,
wo exchanged adieus with thu r.ulioiul men
alonir the line , but I noticed u sulloniioss in
the hitler's looks that seemed to foror.ist the
nutuio of our reception at our destination.

"Hut that wan the .sklrmlsn of thu great

slatlons between Hurrisburg and Altoonu
offered no obuaoloi to our progress , as the

"Tholr plan , ns developed , was to hold our

and engines from the rear. I believe It took
us about three hours lo gu clear of that
depot. Final ono coupling pin would bo
