Captain Locscb , muster of the boat , gives
the story of the accident , lie brought a
pnrly of about forty up from Pokln to see
Pain's "Last Days of Pompeii. " After the
exhibition thuy pulled out , nnd when in the
middle of thu river tlio storm struck them in
nil its fury , without n moment's warning.
Ho attempted to steer tbo steamer toward
thu shore , when a turrulc gust of wind struck
the craft and keeled it over in nineteen feet
of water. The scene which followed beggars
description. Men and women were thrown
Into the water , but the larger part ot then :
managed to reach the upper guard nnd cllnc
there until help reached them. Tholr cries
of distress wuro hoard from the shore , nnd
in spite of the heavy wind n number of sidlTo
went to their assistance and gradually thuy
were brought to shore.
C'aiiKlit III tint Cabin.
Quickly they were taken to residences
where dry clothes could uc secured , and in
tills wnv it was Impossible to got their
mimes. Until n list of the missing comes
from Pekin the uxuct nuinbar of deaths can
not bo told. The persons drowned were
nearly nil In the cabin when the boat tipped
over , and thorn was no cscapo for them.
ICverv nno perished. A window was
imashcd In and ono woman pulled out. She
was breathing , but died in a few bccomu.
3'ho survivors nil tell the most thrilling
tales of the disaster , and thcro were many

thought bho will recover. Ho snld tbo ncol-
ilont was canned by the pilot getting sud
denly s cured when the storm struck them.
Had hit kept his head and bended the boat
lor thu willows on thu opposite bank , there
would have Leon no dungur of capsizing.
I'uitiiiMigcTH Terror-Stricken ,
His description of tlio sccno Is realistic.
When the storm struck the boat there wus
thu wildest scene imaginable. Men anil
women huddled to the side next thu shore
and when the boat careened over many weiu
kwopt off , The vessel settled rapidly to thu
bottom of the rlvor , and ovury gust of tlio
Morm would sweep some poor unfortunate
off into the waves. Thu wind wcs blowing
directly off shore , but the screams of the
women and tlio hearse shouts of moil could
bo heard over it all.
Alderman M , Goloou of Pokln has lost his

When the storm struck tlio lake nnd river
Iho water wns covoiod with binall row bouts
loaded with merry-maker * . The furv of the
rule lashed the witter Into foam , and the
frail shells bobbed up und down in the heavy

Inexperienced , and as soon ( is the gulu burst
upon them they lost control of thu bouts ,
which ueru drivun alonu beforu thu wind.

tuko to the water and swim for the bhoio.
bomo of the boats were overturned. The
women and children were tbu greatest
luffurcra. People who Nero on the shore
rescued many of 11101.0 from waterv graves.
His believed that not u few have norUhed In
Ibli way.

Springing Into tbo littlu crafts , they
would push off , determined to save tholrdonr

the sen , for when the boats capsized the oars
were loit and they could not bo guided by
the willing would-ho rescuers.
John Bard wus caught nbout lOOynrd
from the shore and had great dldlculty hi
getting nshoro. While standing in tlio shel
ter of n house ho saw several small boats go
whirling down tto river nnd there Is llttlo
doubt but that their occupants bavo found a

Two couples were saved in n miraculous
manner at the foot of Muln street. The ooats
collided and nil the pffoplu were thrown out.
Hy clinging to their Inverted boats they

ICInnoy had been ordered out ot thu couii'

They had boon entirely disarmed and'were
waiting for n bout , which was Into.
Just nt dusk last evening a squad of olght\
armed men came charging down the railroaa

scattered in different directions nnd rut
for the river , mountain nnd gulf , tholi

the men went out that there would be
trouble , and that they were arranging to
noiid iloo men to Homestead nnd wanted
them dcputl/cd ,
ilo had not deputized the Pinkcrtons nnd
had authorized no ono to dcputl7C thorn. He
did not go to Homestead the day ot the riot
because It was useless.
President Welie on the Stand ,
President Wovho was the first witness on
ttio side ot tha men , In reply to Judge Tay
lor ns to why the men thought they had n
right to take possession ot the mill , Mr.
Woyho said : "Thoro mav bo some who
think so , but they nro not luught so In thu
association. "
"This thing has boon n mystery to me. I
would like to Know why tlu-so men think
they had the right to take other people's
property , " snld Judge Taylor. "Tboro seems
to bo some queer Ideas of the rights of prop
erty. Was not the object of these men , when
they fought the Plnkertons , to prevent the
milt from being worked by nonunion men ] "
"Woil , that may bo the object ; 1 do not
kuow that It was. "
"Well , 1 have llttlo doubt that such was
the case , " said Judge Taylor.
"Aro these matters of physical resistance

"Well , I hardly know what the association

man usually cot the worst of it. 1 believe
that It will soon como to this , however , nun I
personally can sou little objection to it. in
my opinion compulsory nrbitratlon would not
bo n success in t'his country. It the nrbltrn-
tlou was made compulsory nil parties should
bo mndo to exhibit their books , The work
men believe they understand their business
bettor man anyone * , and think that outsiders
should attend totholrown business. "
"Yea , " snld Mr. Hoatncr , "but you did not

were killed. "
ftir. Woyho was aslcoil if the association
always carried out its contract , and ho snld
yes.

ns.iodutlou notified the company that unless
certain things were donb in this controversy
they would quit work , nnd thus break their

"Woll , 1 know some such tiling was dono. "
Hugh O'Uonnoll was railed and Mr.
Dates said : "Now , Mr. O'Donnell , wlulo

When the men -wont out the eight lodges
hold a Joint meeting and appointed the tul-
vlsory committee of which witness was
chairman. Men were placed around the
fence to keep out the Irresponsible people.
This was July 1. The imm werj nil in
structed to use only moral suasion. They
were not instructed to keep anyone out of
the mill. They were there to try and nor-
suudu nonunion men to roiiuin away from
the null.
"Tnoy intended to use only peaceable
means , " said the witness , "and no ono ro-
grcts moro the assault than thu advisory
committcn does , "
Tno witness then repeated the story of
the battle and his ufforts to prevent tbo
linns by the crowd on the shore. The inhu
man treatment ol the prisoners after their
surrender , ho said , was not the work of the
slrlkorh , but irresponsible parties.
Witness said ho averaged $1-11 per month ,
eight hours , under the old scalo. He said the
works had built the town. About -10 percent
were American born. The persons affected
by the proposed scale were most all Ameii-
cau uoru.
"What is the great cause of this hatred to
the Pinkcrtons i"
"Tho laboring pcoplo look upon thorn as
enemies of the laboring man. The chief ob
jection to thorn , however , was that \\c feared
with them would como nonunion men. "
At this point the meeting was adjourned
until o'clock p. in.
Thinks It n Urent Consplraey.
In the afternoon Burgess McLuckio tosti-
liud. lie said ho thought there was a
irig.intiu conspiracy somewhere , nidod and
abetted by legislation to deprive worldng-
mcn of their rights under the constitution of
this Government , of lifo , liberty and the pur
suit of happiness. Ilo bad formed Unit opin
ion bocituso , after going to wane , satisfied
that they had a safu basis upon which they
could depend , the McKinley bill cnmo in and
reduced tiiat identical nrtlclu upon which
thulr compensation was based and raised the
tariff on other articles.
Mr. Hoatner Is It your Idoi that the com-
miny , after having jour wairos based on the
price of billets , hud the larllireduced on that
arliclo !
"That's the idea. "
Mr. Taylor You think tlio less the tariff ,

"I think so"
Continuing Mr McLucklo said ho hoilovod

the Cnrnogios with Frick at their 'head ,
