VO.XIPICKENS,, S. C., TH~IURSD)AY, JULY U4p82.N 3 TOO MUCII AOWLING. THE CAMPAIGN MEETING AT OR ANGEBURG BROKEN UP. The News amod Courier Very Truly Says Wth Sides Used Their Liug Too Much -Ouly Tbroe of the Castditates Spoke. ORANGEnURG, S. C., July 6.-The News and Courier in its account of the ieeting at this place today says "a hun dred or so wool-hatted howlers, with 9- their enthusiasm and party patriotism stimulated by some brand or other of ii se or less mean whiskey, disgraced the charming little city of Orangeburg today by breakin, up the campaign m1eLing here." Aud then goes on and gives the following acc)unt o the meet Ing: The procession started for Duke's Park, where the meeting was to be held, at 10.30. Carriages had been providLd for the whole party, and as Governor Tillman emerged from the ho tel he was grabbed up by half a dozen of his followers and borne on their shoulders in triumph to the carriage. By the samne means he was removed from it and placed upon the stand. Now, as to the crowd. There were, according to the best estimates I could obtain, about twelve hundred or fifteen hundred people present. This is the estitnate which accorded nearest with that made by the representative of The News and Courier, though there were others dif tering fhom it very widely expressed on ill sides. The representative of the Augusta Chronicle thought that there were about one thousand people on the grouud, of whom three-fourths were Tillmnuites. The following is a detail id account of what happened at the The opening prayer was offered by the lRev. G. P. Watson, and was a fer vtnt anpeal for good order. The chair man then infroduced Attorney General MeLaurin. Ile said that this was the first time that lie had been in Orangeburg, and, in nfo5 Mr. Dibble's boasting, he ,ou4uison l oeople about as solid for -jri ne other 'tavere in Marlboro. le - -..sit News and Cour ier and had seen thit Mr. Dibble had been doing most of his talking in the newspapers. The speaker continued to ridicule Chairman Dibble's claims that there was a great change taking place, and his wittioisms were greeted by loud at-d enthusiastic cheering from the people in front o him. The News and Courier and the other newspapers received a considerable share of the speaker's abuse, and some of his references were Vreeted with considerable cheering and laughter. iIe said that Col. Orr had been brought out to crush Tillman, Sheppaii d had been selected as a shrewd, doduinl politician and Youmans was of lotspur o; the campaign. The newspapers had started out by swinging to Orr's coat tail, but they had now changed to Youmans. 'ilinan had made such a speech in Charleston as those people had never heard before. The hand primary had been a great success there, in spite of tbe ne wspapers. le (lid not recognize his speech as it had been reported. The Attorney General could haraly be said to have made a camj)aign speech even; what lie said was simply a humorous attack on all of the ant,-candidates in ge neral and on Col. Youmans in partic ulair. lie wanted the people to listen to that scrap book of Youman's. A voice: Tell us something about t yourself. What have you done? Attorney General M'cLaurin: L wili come to that, but I am making your hheep) mighty sick. Wherever I go I give your shieep the dry-rot. lie paid his respects to thne Coosaw case, biut the crowd were not munch in a humor for serIous talk and kept up a ruiming lire of more or less funny corn -ments and interruptions. Thia Agricul tural lIall muddle was explainedl alter S tihe Attornecy General's uisuau method. Col. Youmnans hiad resortedl to his scrap hook methods of attacking Tilhinan lbe. cause they were alraid to conie before the people and discusas these questions. TIllmnan was the first man who, since the war, had made fr.e speech p)ossible in South ('arolina. lie was the lather ou Clemson College. A voice: 1I, aiin't opened yet. Att'rney General McLau rin: No, but it will he soon, and you had better go a to school up there. When the history of South Carolina came to be written then, and niot, till t,bei, wvill Tillman receive justice. T1he se-aker was liberally chee'red when he closed his speech. The chairman said that he next had the honor of introducing Col. Murphy. A voice yelled out, "A citizen of Or an)i.eburg Counnty." For a few moments things looked i(qually, but there were numerous cries ci "Hear himi" "No howling dlownl" and um a few mements quiet, was ie st,ored. Col. Muirp)hy's assertion that there would always be a warm spot am his haeai t for old Orangeburg was received with cheering, iIe had not,, he said.1 been in the count,y since '76, and lie aip peared before them now because lhe be lieved that the ticket, which he ini part 9 epresented was it thei field for the best inti-rests of South Carolina. The crowd ag'ain broke out into niumerouts veils, cries, etc, and for a few moments Col. Murphy had to leave oil speiakiing, lie asked them as reasonable men to go home to-night and ask themselves it At torney General McLaurin had said any thing which woutld cony one single idea to any body's mind. 'he rowdyism began again, Tillman came forward and was about to speak to ask that qAmiet be restored, .but, Col. Murphy turned to him and s-aid: "Governor Tiliman, I have the floor, and I wIll rule this crowdl or i. *will rule rue." Tdalimn remained standing and Col. Murphy continued to call upon him to SIt dawn. Gol, Dibble, on tihe btand, arose and said that Col. Murphy hiad the floor and Ito one couhld take itfrom him. Govemn. Sor T.llman slowly turned and sat down. The County Chmairman: Listen to him, spen, Cot, Murphy can't convert aisy body. The crowd did not quiet down, but Col. Murphy went on speaking. A voice: What about the Adjutant and Inspector General mat'er which was exposed? Col. Murphy: I will tell you about that and show you that there was not an iota of fraud connected wth it. Ile said that every dollar o& the State's money had been paid into the tressury. If it had not been it would have been a crime, and by not prosecuting it B. it. Tillman would have been guilty of com pounding it. That was the whole truth in iegard to that matter. A voice: Who are you, anywa3? Col. Murphy: I am a ltwyer from Colleton, and they say over there that I am a mighty good one, too. At this point a perfect pandemonium began in the crowd. Yells, howls and cries of all sorts were heard, and coin pletely drownled Col. Murphy's voice for sonie Litie. Col. Murph3: Ilf you want to hear the truth keep quiet. but it you are afraid of It continue your 'elling. Continuing Col. Murphy arraigned Tillman for his charges of fraud and corruption against the Administration, but the row in the crowd continued an(3 prevented his voice from being heard. About this time a momentary (iversion was occasioned by a little impromptu scrapping match between to over-ardent members of the opposing forces. Col. Murphy continued his remarks with an argument to show that capital was what was wanted to develop the enormous resources of the State, the In terruptions continuig without interinis sion. le was here not to represent the farmers or any other class, but the In terests of the whole people of South Carolina. The man who put up that pitiful plea for the farmers alone did so because the farmers were in the majori ty, and he wanted their votes. These assertions produced loud and long ap plause. Everybody in South Carolina was in favor of the farmers, and was ready to defend and fight for their interests be cause the farmers were the most impor tant class in the State. The crowd be gan to howl and yell again, and there were clntinuous cries for Tillman. Col. Murphy: Don't you know Voices: No, we don't know; no, we don't knowl and continued howling. Col. Murphy: I believe you are right -you ?on' know. The speaker then began to condemn what he called "the unseemly war" which the Administration hal been making upon capital, and having by sheer force of lungs talked down the howlers, lie took up the taxation matter and condemned as usurpation of power the Comptroller General's methods in raising them. Col. Murphy was here informed that he had run over his time. Before closing he said thtt he wanted to answer the question of the gentlemen who wanted to know what (Alice he was running for. Ile was a candidate for the ofll.e of Attorney General of South Carolina, and he would promise the peo plc it he was elected lie would not call in outside aid to administer the business of the ollice. Before lie would have it said that it was the biains of "Iam" Smith or Samuel Lord who had won the cases lie would resign. These senti ments produced loud cheering in tMe crowd, and Col. Murphy sat down amid much general applarse. The chairman next introduced his Ex cellency, Governor B. It. Tillman, who was received by loud cheers. A contro versy ensued among members of the crowd, in which was heard the asser tions that there were "No IIaskellit.es here," andl "We arc ,Jcf'ersonian Dem ocrats." 'rThe Governor said that lhe was glad to be in Orangeburg, because ever since lie made his maiden speech here in 1886 the people of the county hiad stood to his back in a solid phalanx. [Cheers.] Whenl this peoaco, and unity business had been started hie had gone to Greenville to try (conclusionis with Orr, andl after wants he had gone to Edgefld andl tried them Lihere, andl now lie was glad to come to the liome ei Samuel Dibble and show lhiin a tning or two, lie charged I)ibble w ithi the intention of buying the votes 1)1 thle whiite p)eople and of using tissue ballots, iIe knew thiat Dibble had been f'urnished with plenty of money .o buy votes with. A voice: Yout can b)uy negroes, but not white men. Governor Tillman: There was never but one effort to use nogro votes ini this State, and that was made by the very ILadicals who had put these men up. [Loud cheers.] The Governor read Gen. McGrady's speech at tihe ratifica tion meeting mi Charleston and at its con clusion took one of his hand primaries. Ile said that it had been stated that only one of' the South Carolina delegation to Chlicago w as a D)emocrat, andh he wanted everyone who endorsed the actions of that (delegation to hold up his hand, The hands of the crowd immediately in front of the standl went up[ and there was some cheering. The Governor then took another hand primary that was a primary in (lead earnest, iIe called upon all who intended to suipport Cleveland to hoid( up their hands. 'rhe hainds of' the whole crowd wcnt up withl a mlighity shout, andl it was some minutes before quiet was restored. We will tgive Mr. Clevelandl the electoral vote of South Carolima, continued the G;overnior. iIe wanted to ask that little crowdl of sheep over there a question. Biut the ''little crowdh" reterred to kept up such a steadiy caliing for Shippai d that the Governor had to suspend operations. The yells continued for some minutes, and at last. hIe tur'nSd to his people and asked them not, to interrupt him any more. . ie ran(d that "little crowd" over there was like the crow d of liaskellites who said the (day befoie at Columbia that they would not supnort him if nominated. That was what they were getting ready to do. "Old Granny" downi there neyer spoke of beating him in August, but, In INovember. That was what was meant. One of the candidates had intimated the plan they were going to pursue when he saidl thlat they trouhd support him If he was "fairly"~ nominated. A voice: What about those cows? At this iuncneth romw.. bega in dead earnest, and the Governor was treated to a regular howling down spell. The Governor replied to the interroga tory given above to the effect that ie had sold "those cows" to the Asylum at less than onehalf of their value. and that the herd of seyenty-five cows and calves had been taxed at much more than their atual value, The assertions were aceompanied by several witticisms directed at the interlocutor in a very savage manner. The Shepp.ard men then became up roarious, and shouted and howled ii style. The Governor tried to grin and bear it, but it was evident that the per formauce somewhat puzzled and greatly annoyed him. Ilo shouted out one or two sarcastic remarka at the - crowd, which were indistinguishable, but the enthusiastic opponcnis of the Governoi however, paid little attention to him and continued to perform a species of wat dance. The shouting continued for live or si. minutes, and then when it had partialli subsided the Governor crossed over tC the ouposite side of the stand with the remark that he would give up trying tc speak to "those Ilaskellites and would address these peaceable Christians." Tiee shouting continuing, Goveraor Tillman said: I want to say right here it I dont speak no one else shall. I can adjourn this meeting in five minutes if I want to. The crowd then quieted down some, what and Governor Tillman continue( his speech. IIe stood there and boldly said tha the free schools of the State were v humbug. When speaking of the school districts, which lie had proposed a voice, wanted to know "why he had not donc it." Governor Tillman: Because thai driftwoed Legislature would not vote for it. When he got to the three-dollar pol: tax matter there was some cheering fron the audience. He knew the county well, and h< knew that there was many a poor mar whose children did not Let one month o: schooling. The remedy lay wilhi th( people. They must first elect membere of the Legislature who would support it, and then they must vote for it when il came back to them in the shape of a constitutional convention. Ile took c hand primary, resulting as usual in a number of hands being held up in sup port (of the three-dollar tax, and non< against it. He referred to the railroad matter it the usual terms, claiming that the drift wood Legislature was reBponsible for thi fact that they did not now have relief Ie had vetoed the bill because they ha< inserted in it provisions contrary t< what lie had recommended. Governu Sheppard and Col. Orr were accused o being railroad lawyers. Speaking of the financial aspect I said that those men who were to follov him would tell them that lie had ruine( the credit of the State. The Anti-Ad ministration )eop:e raid that 2 and I made 3 instead of its making 4, and ther they went oft and got the Judges to con firm it. If that crowd was elected ther would be one law in South Carolina foi the poor mian and another for the rich This was apropos of the fact that th corporation could get a mandamus anc the poor man could not. Col. Murphy had deserted the faith oJ his people and had gone over to ringsi, le was paying his way-but no, he wac a guest; Col. Dibble was paying hiF way. iIe wantel to tell Col. Murph that lhe had just struck the true D)emo cracy, and if lie (Col. Murphy) (lid no0 have a grassy row to hoe between here and Greenville lhe was a "nigger." Col. Murphy had said that nothing had been lost to the State. Buit whyl it was because he had allowed him t< pay up, whein the doors of the Penitenti ary were standing opot just n front o1 him. That was not all. The treasure: of Charleston County was $8,000 short and( his bondsmen wvouldI have to be sued, In Sumter it was the same case, but that had been madle goodl. Two meni in' Union, elected otn the Tilhuian ticket, had defaulted, and lie had unhesitating ly kicked them out. Col. Murphy came from the pe(ople and now that lhe has gotten tip among the aristocracy, lie wanted to keel) dowr the rest of them. A few moments wern then devoted to the peace and unit2 question, and lie saId that Col. Orr ha< said many hardl things against him, ant Sheppard had compared him to Scott Chamberlain and Moses. That was the kind of peace and unity we arc having Ilolloring would not win elections They must remember that we had Jesuit to contend with now. A voice: What is a .Jesuit? Governor Tillman: You go get you dictionary and find out. Then ott see ond though: Il tell you what it me"me It means that for ways that are darl an'd for ticks that are vain Sam Dibble i very peculiar. The Governor started to stop atm then turned back and said that lie ha come near forgetting the best thing c all. lie recounted the incidents of the ro cent meetings, claiming that every mcet ing that hie had attenm'ed, not even excep ting Charleston, had shown an apparea] majority for him; but the "funny" thins he wanted to tell was how "this mal Yotumans" wvas doing hinm. lie salt that after the charges which hiaid bee: made about his running away f'ronm You mans, lie had stayed on the stand n: several places andI listened to wh at Ii had to say. To-day lie was tired, ani would have three more speeches t< make this week, so that it the p)eople would let him he would go to the hiote and rest; he would stay however, if' the. thoug ht he ough t to. With that the Governor miade an en of' his speech amidl cheers, and proceed ed at once to climb over the baek of' the stand and make for the hotel. County Chairman Lowman iroduce< as the next speaker Governor Sheppard. The crowd beaan at once to yell Governor Shiepparfl advanced to tit front of the stand and atteimpfed t< speak, but his voice was dlrcwned by the yelling. After the shouting from the crow< had continued for several minutes thi county chairman made a fhw feeble of fort to restore order, but with no etfec Gen. Far'ey was cominiz forward t make i similar attempt, but Col. Dil ble and Governor Sheppard both of jected. Many of the Tillnanitos coul be heard zondeining this vehemeutl and soeic of them attempted to obtai quiet. Every effort, proved fruitlest and finally after standing for seventee mioutes Governor Sheptard took hi seat and the meeting was declared a( jnrned. The crowd began to call for Farle] but Capt. Dibble objected to Gen. Fai ley beint allowed to speak. The poir was sustained, and G(en. Farley at vanced to the frout and informed ti crowd that he could not address thet from that stand, but lie would be gii to speak to them at any other point the might collect. The crowd then disper. ed, but about, half' of them reassemblc af-ain in 1.out of the Court 11ouse an Orangeburg Hotel. DurinL, the court of the afternoon there were occasiout calls for P'aile), the iatue of whose rabb story had evidently gained wid) circuit tion atnt popularity hereabouts. Abut 4 o'clock the General c.ime ot on the front veranda c4 the hole an spoke to the crowd for a half or thre quarters o' an iour. The speech wai i Gen. Farley's usual vein and put t crowd in it Lrood hunior. A lew minutes ifter Gen. Farle stopped speaking, and beore the crow had entirely dipersed, Capt. Dibb quietly tLepL)ed out on t,he poich and b gan to speak. The crowd quickly can back, and, though there was randoi shouting, the s eaker for a time li good attention, and his rtmarks wei frequently punctuated by loud and gei eral applause. IIe said that we were all D.ni )crat and that no matter what dill'erenci might divide us now we would all vol solidly for the part's nominees. Bi in the f'ace of the differences betwer the t,o parties there was one mai c whom all could unile-there was ot man on whom the whole Democracy South Carolina wast a unit and for who it could vote solidly-and le was Gr ver Cleveland. 'Phese remarks wet loudlj cheered by the crowd. Capt. Dibble then begun to refer I the morning's meeting and the right i free s-eech, and as soon as I e did so few of the morning's howlers broke oi afreshi,aud kept the distur anuce up unt Capt. D;,bble clostA his speec'. This ended the day at Orananebur the crowd gradually oipersed and il candidates left for Aiken on the alte tnoon trainl. WILL HAVE TO WORK.

Who are Finally Coinpelled to Surren n1 der Uueonditionally tfa the Workaien and They are Terribly Treated. PITTSBUio, Pa., Junly 6.-l'ittsburrg has had another experience with labor riots, and this time, as during the fear ful scenes which were witnessed during i the railroad riots of 1877, blood has . beea shed, life jeopardized anl valua e ble property placed in danger. This time there was no destruction of prop d erty, but the mob was thoroughly and well organized, well disciplined, and Y had ellicient otlicers at the head to con duct operation. The force embrace I ,d all the men vimployed in the extensive d plants of the (larnexie Iron and Steel e Company at Ilomestead, somo eight I Ll miles east ot l'ittsburg, and a lhttle, I it which for blood-thirtiness and bold- 1 - ness of calculation, has not been ex- I celed in actual warfare, raged from .1 1 o'clock i the morning until 5 o'clock I it this afternoon, and only ceased when a d force of Pinkertons brought to the I c the place to suppress the strike, micon o ditionally surrendered, leaving their le arms in the barges in which they had been transferred to the works. The riot to-day was the culmination Y of the troubles which have been brew d ing at Homestead for the past month. I le The Carnegie company submitted a L- scale to govern their workmen in the I e steel plants and announced that it was their ultimatum. The scale made a I d sweeping reduction in the wages of i e the skilled men, and it was o licially . announced that unless the terms were 4 complied with before July the places 1 of the workmen would be filled by I , others. This was followed by peremp tory refusal on the part ot the com L pany to recognize the Amalgated As sociation of steel and iron workers as 8 3 such, or to confer with any committee t of workmen short of an acceptance of ithe terms offered. Tte men statedi e that they wouli never submit to the f proposed reduction and announced t their determination to resist any effort c on the part of the Carnegies to start e ip their plants with noi-union men. As both sides were determined bot.h o proceeded to prepare for a contest which culminated in deeds of violence a and bloodshed that were witnessed to (lay in a big hive of industry oil the Monongahela. The contest was precipitated by tie workmen at Homestead by lianging It. C. Frick, president of the compaity, in I ie etligy, and in retaliation the company r- ordered an iniinediate shut down or tile big works two days before thIe time provided by the contract under which the men were working. The em ployces at once proceeded to organize ,tur the defense and the company erect. e. a high board fence around the en tire works, giving them the appearance of an inimense stockade, the Eides be J ing pierced with port holes. -r, Yesterday the Carnegie Company ill announced their intention to proceed ,e- to get ready to make repairs and the ie oflicials asked the 6herift to appoint e- deputies to protect, their pioperty. ie [he Sief ilf sent a simali ,quad ip to e, the vor ks, but the strikt ro assi ibitd ig in force and notified then to get out !i of town as no disor-der was int,end "s ed, arid that no damage woul(l be done i- to any property. They ev( n offered to .o be sworii ii as deputies and to give ii- bonds for faithful performance of tneir duties as conservators of the peace. 12 When this ofler was declined, the ad e vi4ory coinmittee which had been tii- t is recting the action of the workmeii and 1 is wvnich held the turbulent spin-is ainiongi cl the workcimin in check was i imediatt-1 >r ly dissolveod anid all records of the coim r,: mit,tee promptly dest ro.Se4d.

News of the riot oached littsburg as early as 6 o'clock ii the morning and thousands of mill ands, all of whom are now idle pend ng the conference on the scale, con ,regated in the streets while lindreds >4 others, armed with guns and revolv rs and well supplied with ammuni ion, took up a line of march to rein orce the strikers. As soon as day broke the strikers se mired a small brass ten-pound cannon Lmid planted it within the steel billet m brasire so as to comimand the barges vtich were moored at the bank of the iver. At the same time a force of nore than one thousand men took up L Imsition on the opl)osite side of the iver amd also plantid a cannon which hey )rotectvI with a breastwork of milroad iron. Fire from both sides vas kept l), the barges having been )erced i iig (he side3. Shortly before I o'clock the canon were trained on lie boats and for several hours an aw til bombardment. was kept up. Tle tout oaken timbers forming the sides f the boats were splintered, but the teel plates on I he inside prevented the alis from penetrating the interior. dany of the striker-i, however, were ex >ert marksmen, and they sent shot i ter shot, into the port holes in the )ows and inflicted terrible injury to hf' imprisoned men. When it was found little impression ,ould be made by the cannons on the oats an effort was made to fire the arges, and thus compel the detectives o leave the vessel or suffer the terrible ate of being burned alive. Hose were .recured and the oil was pouired on the ides and decks of the barges. While his was being done barrel after barrel vas enipted into the river above the nooring place, the object being to al. ow it to float against the boat and hen ignite it. This terrible deed was tt empted several times, but the boats lid not; burn, and then the mob became nFuriated and hurled dynamite bombs it the vessel with great ellect. Tie ituation of the detectives was such as .o appal the stoutest heart. The Inen tad een left, co,.ped in the barges at, he mercy of the infuriated mob. The owboat nad left them and they were ,o encompassed by the maddened army > strikeis that no succor coult reach .hem. Thr( e times they ran up a flag A truce, but as many times it was tricken down by bullets tired by the itrikers. Theu it, became evident that tLe aitmunition of the besieged detec tives was either exhausted or they were too much worn out to continue the light, and for two htoturs before the end of1 the struggle was reached not a shot was fired by the barges. Towards dusk efforts were again made to turni the boats wit,h their liv ing freight, and they would doubtless have succeeded had it not, been for the iLterposition of the leading ollicers of the A ialgated Association who went to tlie scene of war in tle afteenoon. Phrough their efforts it was agree!l to illow the deteeLives to surreniour, hut his was not secured without, the great st, objection on the part of the ten, liany of whon had lost friends and ac iuaintancei during the day. Besides, is in all such outbreaks, there were ,iouis-inds of turbulent charactere at .racted to te place,aid as they owed no illegiance to any organization they oiild not, he controlleu. They waited ,o see the carnage go on; b-t it was ot until some of thle st.rikers poinlted heir gumis at the outsiders that a hear nig was obt ainied. At 3 o'clocK the 'inrkertoni men hi ung ouit another white lag anid this timen it, was respect,ed, anid icomnnttie of strikers went aboard to repare tIhe terms of capitulation. l'hiy guaranteed the safe cond(het, f or he I 'mrkertonis, p)rovidled they lef t their irims and ammniunit ion behind and iigreed to leave thle pilace iund(er guiardl. fle detectiv~es hail mio alterniativye arid 'romnpt ly aicceptedl the t.eems, .sorine of hie tmen sayinug that it was the Iirst hue they had ev"r sutbin itted to suieh ni humiiatinig suirrend(et. VWen an iniNpeeti(on of the boats was tadle it unas roun ii that seven of the 'in kert.on meint hiad beenu killed and .wenty or thirty woiunded(, and many iiI ihin so badly t hat, they will die. As hey were brought f rom the boat they present ed a terrible aptpearance. Many were besmneared with blood, while all >f them showed signs of exhaust.ion Irm thte long conifiinement in the close lularters beutween the decks. Tihe miost ,luoekimg andl dastardly deeds, however, were committed while t,he prisoners were being '!scorted through the streets >y an escort of guaardls appointed b)y ,he strikers. An angry mob hmed the atreet onl both sides. As the tien )iass'ed by each ini charge of' two depu .ies the miill men and thiir friendus <icked them arid threw soine of them lown. Th'le unfortuniate detectives Jegged for mercy. Some of them had >istcl shot, wounds in their heads and( .hiree were sceen that had thieir ('yes shot mtt. Se.veral were shot in the should rs, arnus and legs and could scarcely iluib along. Blood( wiIs runnIng in treams down their shirts arid they ~airly yelled with pain,. F'ully thirty injured mneun were taken o the town hall. Oae of them had his 'ye ptunched out by arn umbrella in the iands of a womiani. Sand was thrown ni their eyes anid t,hey were struck with :hbs and other ssailes. Many were miocke'd down with clubs and trampled iponi andl some1 were too weak to walk vhien they st,arted for the town hall. l'hie mill men usedl the stocks of their Ifles and struck the detect.ives over the ieadi and shoulders, inflhcting serious mdl in some cases perhaps fatal inju 'is. As the procession reached the X malgamated Association building the letectives had to remove their hats md salute the flag. WVhen they remov d their hats men and women hit them vi',h aumbrellas aind sticks and abused horn in every way Imaginable. Thay ieemed( to be determined to kill the irisoners and it wa's with the greatest tifliculty that, the (iemnon-llke crowd '.ould be restrainedl. The men were inally lodgedl ini the opera house where they were to be kept for t,h aight. Thousands, however, gathered uround the building, and the wounded men were kept In a constant state 01 terror, and It was long before theil Wounds could be dressed. Before the prisoners had been remov ad from t he barges te riotm-er ha t.e. revenge. They carried oil into the holds poured it over the bedding and furniture. and then set it on fire, first securing the barges so that they they could not Iloat down the river and cause damage at points below. When the flames broke through the decks the cheers which rent the air were deafen ing and the noise could be heard miles away. Tne hills on either side of the river were literally crowded with peo ple who could witness from this high point all that was transpiring on the battle field and he out of range or the bullets. When the defeated L'hnkertons sir rendered the leaders of the workmen promised to protect the property left on board the barges. In this they con tracted for more than they could fulli 11, for no sooner had the detectives reach ed tile river bank than the barges were charged upon by the crowd of men, women and children. Despite tile ef forts of the cool-headed leaders to keep their promise and their protests against the pillage and destruction the iiolb took posession of all on board. The cooking utensils, bedding, provisions and household effects generally were distributed to the children, while they seized upon the large stcre of Win-:-hes ter rifles, and anuntiition. These rifles all are of the linest patterns, in perfect, condition, and, with unlimited amm. nition, are a great acquisition to the strikers, as all of their men were not armed. During the looting of the boats and in the great confusion two meni ac cidentally shot themselves, one fatal ly. The detectives claim that they were miseralAy misled and that they cane fiom different towns, were strangers to one another and had been told that they were wanted as watch men. In proof of this each guard wore a badge, with the inscription "Watchnan, Carnegie Steel Company, limited." Among the scenes and incidents at tending the surrender and landing of the discomiitted detectives from the barges, one especially worthy of note shows the brayery anwl coolness of one of the Pinkerton men. As he reached the river bank with his companions, they were assailed from all sides by the angry crowd. In the shower of stones and mnissels of all kinds this man sepA rated himself from the others and beg ged f'or a hearing. In the silence which followed lie said: "Fellow-citizens: When I caime here I did not understand I lie situation, or I would never have come. I was told l was to meet. and deal with foreigners. I had no ido that I was to light American citizens. I am a menmber of the .Junior Order, and I appeal to you for permission to leave and get myself out of this terri ble affair." 'the crowd cheered himi, and lie proceeped umiolested. Tile liay is one that will be remember. td with horror )y the people of the bor ough, as well as the citizens of the en tire country, who for a second time will be called upon to pay an enoruious amount of miioney entailed in the shape of riot losses. Tihe complete list of the killed and wounded are not obtainable at midnight. As far as could be ascer tained, eleven workrmen and nine detev tives were killed, and eglit eei work inen and twenty-one detectives injured in battle. I i addition to this at least, 1() detectives were si rioitsly injured by tei strikers while on their way to jail this evening. Tho number of Pinker tons now in the lock ip and rink is'23 1.
