The Pennsylva nia troods took possession of theCarne- gle'mills and the. town of Homestead shortly af ter'9 o'clock yesterday. The arrival was bo sudden and the troops took possession bo quietly that the strikers were taken completely by sur prise. They were, therefore, unable to give the troops the reception that had been agreed upon. The best of order prevailed. The town is ; now guarded in every part by the troops who have picket lines and guards all over the town. -Monday night a body of negroes, armed with Winches ter rifles attacked the citlzans and State troops guarding the jail at Pa ducah, Ky. One of the soldiers wa3 mortally wounded and several of the negroes received wounds. The excite ment was very great. William W. Astor is not dead, but is improving. A landslide in Savoy buries a num ber of bouse beneath a mass of debris. Thirty dead bodies and a number of Injured persons have been taken from beneath the earth atd rocks. The Governor of Idaho calls on the Pres ident for aid in quelling the riots of the Fresno mines and the Secretary of War has ordered troops to be sent to the scene of trouble. The loss by the St. John fire is now p'aced at 515, 000f0$0. The insurance losses placed in the St. Johns agencies amounts to $4,250,000.

Reuben McSrayer, of Ashe- ville, died yesterday.- The Third party convention at Fayettevile broke up in a wrangle yesterday, and the minority, com posed of two negroes and nine white men, most of them .Repub licans, nominated F. D. Koonce, of Ons low, for Congress, and Andrew Perry, of Bladen, for elector. The latest returns from the British elections show a Liberal gain of thirty-seven. They needed a gain of only thirty-four to overcome the Conservative maj jrity. Soon af ter Gen, Snowdon baa taken possession of Homestead he -was waited upon by a committee representing the Amalgamated association and the citi Z2ns of the town. They went to tender the General a reception, but he de clined and informed the committee that he did not recognize the Amalga mated association aud all he wanted the citizens to dd was to behave. The commitiee retired rather crestfallen. About 10 o'clock the company took possession of the mill property in a very quiet way. The Anti-Option bill, after gainiDg the position before the Senate of unfinished business yes day, wa9 displaced and again went" to the foot of the calendar. No more trouble at Paducah, Ky., ' yesterday, but trouble was feared last nigh. E -mer Edwards, the soldier shot by the . negroes has died. The Democrats of New York city are preparing to re ceive Cleveland and the committee ap pointed to notify him of his nomination. The -notification will .take place in public.

New YcsK,July 12. Hubbard,Price & Co., say of cotton: pinners in Manchester bought fairly on the Liver pool market to-day, taking 7,000 bales and the feature of the market was but one point lower at the opening than yesterday. Thia was a much better re sponse than had been expected and our market opened at a slight advance of 3 points. The agitation, , however, over the Hatch bill drives buyers away and the market cased, losing cot only the advance but some 6 points in ad dition. After the decline the appear1 ance of a prominent house as a buyer caused a steadier feeling. During the afternoon the - Improvement was lost, the occasion of this decline being the passage by the Senate of Senator "Washburn's resolution" to .give the Anti-Option bill precedence every af ternoon at 2 o'clock Ontil dispssed of. fifty-second; congress.

I Senator Morgan objected to the printing of the correspondence in the Record. It was. he Baid, an argument on the silver question concocted be tween 1 the Senator from Illinois and the Secretary of the Treasury, an un fair argument, and he did not wish it to go to the country without oemg ac companied by explanations. After further .remarks Senator Alli son objected to the discussion and the matter went over. I Senator Sherman offered a resDlu- t'on' calling on te Secretary of the Treasury for a statement of the several shipments of rum from Boston to Afri ca, with the names of the consignors. during, the fiscal year ending June 30, 1892. ! Ohipr.tion was made bv Sanators Chandler and Hawley to confining the inquiry to Boston and the resolution was changed so as to apply to all ports of tbe Uaited SUtes and, so modified, was agreed to. I Senator Dolpb, from the uommittee on Foreign Keiatlous, reported tne bill ameDdatory of the last Chinese Ex clusion act, the amendment being to strike ou t the words, one credible white witness" and iue-ert in lieu thereof the word, "one credible witness, not a Chinese parson or of Chiaese descent. Senator Allison, seeing that the bill was going to lead to debate, objected to its consideration and called up the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, the pending que?tioo beiog Senator Qjay's amendmeut requiring the Columbian exposition at Cnicago to be closed on Sunday; The debate was temporarily interrupted to allow the presentation of the conference report on the District of Columbia bill and j it was agreed to.

Senator Allison and consideration of the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill was proceed with. Senator Quay's Sunday closing amendment was discussed until after 5 o'clock, j Unanimous consent was then given to have the debate to-morrow on tbe exposition section under the five minute rule. Several amendments to the exposition section were presented and ordered printed.

I Senator Pettigrew, chairman of the Quadro Centennial committee, sent to tne clerks desk and had read some half a dozen telegrams received by him to-day urging persistence In the Sunday observance j amendments and Senator Quay also j sent up a score or more which he had received. The uuiformlty of expressions in them caused much laughter as one after the other was read. They all urged Sena tor Quay to "hold the fort," to "stand firm" and to make no compromise." The subject was then laid aside and various committee amendments of a bui-iaess character were offered to other portions cf the bill and were agreed to. The Senate then at 5:40 o'clock ad journed. M HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Mr. Tucker, of Va., made a very ab'ev speech upon a legal line in favor of the bill. He was listened to with the greatest attention and at the cocclu sion of his speech received warm con gratulations upon his maiden effort. He is forcible in his delivery and grace ful in his gestures, in both those parts resembling his distinguished father. The debate was continued by Messrs.

State Troops Cxiiardins: I lie Jail at raducab, Ky., , Attacked by Ne- . groe-Oae Soldier Mortally ' Wounded Great Excitement of tne People. Cincinnati. Julv 12. A Commer- ciaUGazatte Paducah, Kv., special says: Shortly alter 9 o'ciocKuasi even ing, while the city council was in ses effiri t.hA p.hipf nf nolirfi threw a bomb in their midst by announcing that are- port had lust reacned mm inai two or - three hundred negroes, armed with Winrhpstp.r rifles had eonffresrated in the vicinity of the jail prepared for attack. The council at once adjourned. The mayor at once sent a dispatch to he Governor asking him to oraer out Comnanv C of the State Guard located here. Every able bodied man i3 now on the streets-and every one that can obtain arms of any kind is doiog so. The sheriff has charge of a posse composed of falty of seventy-nve mAn armed with shot cuns and revolt vers,Jprocured from the various hard,; ware stores. ' Thn nndfirlvin? cause of the unris- ing is the hanging of Charles Hill, the negro who made an as-auit upon iyaia Starr some weeks ago. They 'have been secretly obtaining arms for some time and something of this kind was looked for at most any time. The im mediate cause oi tne outoreaK, as stated by a negro last night, is the ar rest of a colored man named Thomas Burgess. At 11:20 o'clock the marshal and mayor returned to the jail from among the squads of negroes, who, when the mayor and marshal promised that no violeuce should be done the prisoner in jail, promised to disperse and began to do so, The marshal addressed the crowd of white people and told them to go to their homes a3 the negroes were dispersing and no violeuce need now be feared. This the people began to do and in a few" minutes the crowd was re duced to militia and about forty armed citizens. At exactly 12 o'clock a band of seventy-flye negroes suddenly ap peared marching down Sixth street and opened fire upon the men collected at the iair. At i the first fire Elmer Edwards, a young man of 20 years of ae. fell shot through the abdomenr He is dvinsr. He was a member of the militia company and a harness maker by trade. The fire was re turned by the militia and armed citi zens and the negroes beat a precipi tuous retreat. The militia also re treated in disorder back to the court house where they kept up the firing until the negroes had disappeared down the street. It" is thought some of the negroes are wounded, although it Is impossible, as yet, to learn the particulars. The jail and court room are now filled with militia and armed citizens. The negroes retreated back to the Odd Fellows lodge, which had been their chief headquarters during the night. The police have arrested over fifty negroes found carrying arms, and they are guarded to prevent anv attempt to release them. The mortally wounding of young Edwards has aroused a storm of indig nation that is kept from breaking out with difficuly and an attempt to avenge his untimely death is almost certain to be made. Excitement runs high and at 1 o'clock this morning the street is still filled with people. a wm.. Death of Hon. ISeuben OfcBrayer. Shelby, N. C, July 12 Special. Hon.

OVER FIVE THOUSAND STATE TROOPS AT HOMESTEAD. The Citizen Taken by 8urprUe The En tire Town Guarded by Soldiers The t - Citizens Orderly Their Interview ; With Gen. Snowden not Satis fo o factory to the Strikers No Reception Wanted. ! Homestead, July 12. Everybody expected the trcoos would invade the city by . daybreak, but 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 9 o'clock passed without any news from them. At a few minutes past 9 o'clock the cry suddenly went tip '."the troops are coming." "The troops are coming," and instantly the greatest excitement prevailed, i The militia came in by rail from above the town and at once surroudded the Car negie mills. They were received with a lew cneers ironi ine surrounamg Dy- ftanders ss the trail rolled in and tnost respectful consideration was ao corded them in every: respect. The first detachment of troops numbered it least 3.000 men and was in command cf Gen. Snowden. They comprised the Second and Third brigades, First dlvieian. The Fourteenth and Eighteenth regiments from Pittsburg are nere, ana oauery u oi tne .trirst brigade ha3 shown up with two Gatling guns and three field pieces. Portions of the Fifth. Tenth and Fifteenth regiments are on the field and com panies A, C, E and H.of the Eighteenth reeriment are also recognized among the blue coats. The troops came from the point of rendezvous two miles this side of Greensburg, and it is stated that the First Brigade is now at Mount Gretna, where it .will remain until further orders. ; Immediately on the arrival of the trains there was great bustle and ex citement, but the militia themselves preserved perfect order and responded silently and promptly to every order of their superiors, liapidly descending from the train the troops formed in column at the switch yards just beyond Munhalls station. Oaei company was a ' once detached on picket duty and tl e Hue immediately thrown out among ti e mill yards. Then the main boly oj troops marched down the streets headed by a regiment band and along what is known as "Scab hill." This is as eminence overlooking the mills and tljiQ Ecene of last week's bOoiilities, and i3 bluff w s cov. red with - spectators, mostly women. There 'was not tne slightest manifestation cf hostilities and, although the troops had arrived so suddenly that all tne leaders oi tne strikers were absent, it did not require their presence to maintain proper respect from the rank and tile. Once or twice there was even a nttie handclapping from the younger ele ment as the jaunty militiamen hove in tight 'and the band was an obi act of much interest. The carefully "prepared reception, of cour3e, was frustrated by the budden arrival of the militia, and it was manifest that the officers in com mand did not desire to be made the object of a ceremonialirecepiion from the people, whose lawlessness they had Vipfiri finmmnnfid to suonress. In twentv minutes the works were entirely sur-1 rounded and the Carnegie mills were once more in the hands of their owner. Ail the eurrouDdiugj streets were patrolled by pickets and a guard at every street intersection kept the crowd at a respectful dis a ice acd pre vented the assembling of groups of strikers. It is due to the workmen, however, to ay that no militiaman was called to exercise his authority. The strikers were unifdrmily good natured and peaceful and the pro gramme of their leadsrs was observed to the letter. There waa much speculation as to whether the troops would occupy the town or merely confine themselves to the mille, but the doubt on this point was not of long duration. Immediately after the troops had surrounded the works and the picket lines had been es tablished several companies suddenly f jrmed at the command of their offi cers and marched directly to the heart of the little town of Homestead. One company halted near to the striker's headquarters. Another marched to the vicinity of the depot and the third occupied a slight eminence overlook ing and commanding tbe commercial centre of the town. Homestead was in the hands of the militia and martial law had succeeded the arbitrary reign of the advisory committee. The great est order was "maintained by the troops in all their movements, jouog militia men showing the benefits of careful training. The citizens of Homestead were deeply disappointed that the militia should have deemed it necessary to oc cupy the whole town instead of merely confining themselves to the mills, but there was not a hoot or cry or a single manifestation of disresptct to show their disappointment. It was a com plete acquiesence to the power of the State and as gracefully as thev could the strikers philosophically accepted the inevitable. The Flfteeaih, Eight eeoth, Fifth and Sixteenth regimect3 were the corps pushed into Home stead, the. Fourteenth and Teith bad, half ai hour reioisly.tst e i i.oseson on the opposite bank of the Monorga tiela river just across from the Car negie mills. There two batteries were planted commanding the whole of the town. Had there been any resistance to the entrance of the troops thecacnoa on the other side of the river could, by themselves, have made the strikers position untenable. As soon as Gen. Snowden had estab lished his headquarters in the school house on the hill over the iron works he wa3 waited upoa by a committee consisting of O'Doncell, Coon, Craw ford," Schuckman and Clifford, repre senting the Amalgamated association advisory commitiee and citizens. Cooo was the spokesman and coming to Gen. Snowden he stated that he represented the association nd citizens; that on j their part ho welcomed tr o troops to (the town and he on:rei tee cvvperu Jtion of the citiz2ns in preserving order. I Gen. Snowden said: "I thank you for your welcome, but I do not need your co-operation. The only way that rnnd r.ftirAnn nan co-ODerata with US Is to go peaceably about their business." Coon said: The citizens wish to know at what time they may give you a public reception." " Gen. Snowden replied: "I can accept no reception, sir, it wo aid bo most im proper.

"I rec ognize no one but the citizenB of the city. We have come to restore law and order and they are j already re stored." .

"But we have obeyed tne sneriir," O'Donnell said, "iiuven't we, Mr. McCleary?" "No, you have not," said the sheriff. "You refused to let my deputies enter the works." There was pome further talk cf thls snrt. in which Gen. Snowden took no part and tne conlerence ended In an awkard silence which was finally bro: ken bv O'Donnell, who said : "Wei!, 1 believe we have nothing further to say." ftp.n. Snowden bowed in silence and the committee departed for headquar- . J! . 1 ters, where a very stormy ; uiscubsiuu followed on the ground taken by the authorities. - -,-Gen. Snowden said after.tbe com mittee . had left that there was to be no such thing as taking formal possession of the works or town. "As soon a9 we came into the town we were in posses sion and law and order is restored. That is all there is ,of it. . I am not going to have any reception or any ceremonies of any sort. Tbe mill prop erty Is already in the hands of the Carnegie committee. I under stand Mr. Chilis i3 now in the work, but with all that we have nothing to do. We ara here to support the sheriff in the execution of his duties and the presence of troops was enough to settle the whole question. We will be here for several uays aud will take advantage of the occasion to have an annual in spection. "How many troops have you here i "Five thousand two hundred and fifty at the present time. We will have some more before night, but we haye plenty as it is." i The strikers' guards have ba,en witn ri rawn from about the mill. Their places are being taken by tbe provost. patrol, which guards all the streets leadincr to the mill and about it. Rep- rftntativs of the comDauv. led by Mr. Oils Childs, took possession about 10 o'clock, but so quietly was this done that their presence was not suspected until the aiternoon: They Stick by Mr. Cleveland. Chicago, July 11. Contrary to the strict injunction of ex-President Cleve land that Mrs. Cleveland's name must not be used for organization purposes in the next campaign, the Monmouth, (III.,) ladies have organized a Frances Cleveland club of Warren county. They have organizsd the club to pro- mote Democratic interests with their moral support and to raise a campaign fund, as shown by the subjoined letter: Parlors of the Francis Cleveland Club. Monmouth, 111. To the Hon. Theodore Nelson, secretary of the Democratic State committee. My Dear Sir: I am directed by the Fran cis Cleveland Club of Warren county, a woman's Democratic organization, to send you the Enclosed check for $100 as our contribution toward the State cam paign fund. Though the sum Is small, we trust that it will assist in wresting our State from Republican supremacy. Wit i thia hope and this belief, I re main, very sincerely, Sarah Bone Hanly.
