CREAM FREEZERS,
A BATTLE AT THE CARNEGIE IRON
WORKS,
The Pinkerton l ire First
and Into a Crowd.
SEVERAL MEN PROBABLY
FATALLY WOUNDED.
THOV8ANUS MAKCIIINO
HKI.P TIIK OTI?K.:i-:u.
I'lT'fsnuRC, July 6. At an early hour
this morning 300 Pinkerton detectives
arrived in Pittsburg from the cast. They
were quietly marched to the Moiion-
gahela river where they were loaded on
barges and shipped to Homestead, (where
the Carnegie iron works are) at 2:15.
The news of their arrival spread rapidly
and when the steam tug towing the barges
arrived at Homestead there were 5.000
people waiting to meet them.
Pinkertons Fire the First Volley.
As soon as the Pinkertons attempted
to land they were met by a firm rclusal
from men and a battle followed. The
Pinkertons opened fire and at the first
volley two workmen fell. This enraged
the workmen and they bore down on the
Pinkertons with resistless force. Nobody
stopped to inquire whether the new
comers were deputy shenlis, Pinkerton
detectives, or non-union laborers.
After the exchange of shots the crowd
grouped on the bank fell back and
rushed toward a big trestle leading to
the Pemicky railroad bridge.
Frobably three hundred men stood
their ground and with their revolvers
returned the fire. These shots did little
or no damage, and the plucky band,
finding their weapons ineffective, slowly
fell back before the withering fire of the
Pinkerton Winchesters.
The First Shot.
The first shot of the engagement came
from the barge. It was aimed at a big
Hungarian who stood at the water's
edge. The ball went wide of the human
target, but was the signal to the Pink'
ertou men to begin and for ten mm
utes they continual to five. The first
man to fall was Martin Merry, a heater
in one of the mines. He was shot in the
left side and fell face downward on a pile
of ashes.
Tbe Second Murder.
Close beside Merry stood the big Hun
garian. He stooped over Merry's pros
trate body and as he was in the act of
raising him, he daggered and an instant
later fell by the side of his comrade.
This bloody spectacle roused the spir
its of the crowd and with a hoarse cheer
a half-dozen men rushed to the place
where Merry and the Hungarian lay.
They picked up the bodies and carried
them behind the trestle. One of the res
cuers, a Welchman, who refused to give
his name, was shot in the left leg just as
he raised Merry's head f.-om the ground.
Merry and the Hungarian were carried
over the trestle-work to a physician. He
said that both men would probably die.
Four Pinkertons Wounded.
Five more of the strikers were wounded
and two of them very seriously. The
shots of the strikers were ulso well
aimed, as four Pinkerton9 are reported
dangerously wounded.
Another Account.
Homestead, Pa., July 0. Excitement
is at a lever heat at Homestead.
It was exactly 4 o'clock when a steam
er and barges were sighted by the work-
ingmcn's watchers gathered on the river
banks a mile below the town. As soon
as the fleet was sighted, three mounted
messengers started for town shouting as
they went in advance of the dreaded
barges. Some one notified the engineer
at the electric light works and n second
ater the harsli-voiced whistle sounded a
general alarm. The people responded
with wonderlul alacrity. There were
old men and young men, elderly women,
mothers with their babies in arm, and
any number of children. The throng
headed toward the river.
Haltered Down the Harrier.
The day wasjust dawning and cbuds
of thick, grayish vapor hung over the
waters. Suddenly from out the shadows
were seen the lights of the steamer. (In
either side ol her were barces. The
moment the people on the bank caught
a glimpse of the flotilla, they made a
break down the road toward the Came
gie works. V hen the head of the line
reached the city farm fence, which had
been built out several feet into the water,
ou men or more used tneir snouiders as
battering rams and almost in a twinkling
had forced down the barrier. Once
through the fence the crowd poured
along the stcip embankment skirtinc
the river lenee ot the Carnegie company,
ana despite tnc muu and uneven char
acter of the ground, made rupid head
way.
Silent, but Determined.
It was a strangely silent crowd. Few
words were spoken and these sprang
from the lips of the women who were
apparently as anxious to participate in
tne coninct as the men. I roni Home
stead to the pump house it is a good
two mucs, oui tnese nan dressed men
nnd women made the journey in record
breaking time.
Facing tbe Pinkertons
Once there they gathered in one solid
mass, most of the womcu on the out
skirts. The front rank of this solid wall
of humanity stood at the water's very
etige nno every moment we crowd grew
in numbers and determination. Slowly
the steamer lidc brought her silent con
sort down the channel. Just below
Pemieky bridge she partly turned to
ward shore and then amid the shrieks of
the steam whistles and angry groans
and hisses Iroin those gathered on the
banks, the occupants of the boats strip
ped for action.
Ready to Kill.
Each one of the Pinkertons was
armed with a Winchester rille and each
rifle was loaded to kill. Slowly the boat
edged toward the landing and when the
keels of the barges grated on the sand,
the grim faces of the invaders were
within a leu feet of their opponents
gathered on the shore. There was one
instant ot awful silence and then a bright
flash and a sharp report announced that
the hrsl shot ol the battle had been tired.
Almost immediately after the first shot
was fired, the firing became general on
both sides. At first the strikers retreated
and for a moment it looked as though
thty were completely routed, but they
quickly rallied aud although they retired
Irom the immediate vicinity ot the boats,
they held their own and by sheer weight
of numbers compelled the deputies to
proceed with caution.
Plukertous Driven Hack.
Up to this time no one had attempted
to leave the boat, but suddenly fifty or
more invaders attempted to jump ashore.
The strikers responded with a sharp
volley and so thick and fast came the
bullets that the deputies returned to the
semi-shelter of lower deck. It was in
this attempt to force the fighting that
the Pinkerton men sustained their most
serious loss. Their captain was carried
to the pilot house of the steamer. One
o( his men informed the Associated Press
reporter that although the wound was
serious, it was not latal.
Directly after this episode both sides
rested a few moments and then after
another sharp volley which did little or
no damage to either side hostilities
ceased.
The FlKhliiiic Resumed.
PiTTSiuidi, ulyb. the lighting was
resumed shortly alter 7 o'clock and con
tinued half an hour. Thousands of work
men trom surrounding places are re
ported marching toward Homestead to
reinforce the workers. In the second en-
engement one man was killed and sonic
wounded. The workmen have built a
fortification of steel bars on the river
bank and over a thousand men arc in it.
Already four locked out men have been
killed. Six more Homestead men were
shot at the second attempt at 8 o'clock
to land the Pinkertons. The captain of
the tug and one Pinkerton man are
dead.
Another Collision.
Homustkai), Penn., July 6. The
steamer Tide came down the river
shortly before 11 o'clock this morning to
take off the Pinkertons who were im
prisoned in their barge. The moment it
reached the shore a regular fusiladc took
place. Cannoneers across the river fired
three cannon balls at the steamer. Their
aim was bad and one ball, entering the
mill, took off a man's head.
Ten Killed.
The number killed is now put at ten
with eleven wounded. The boat was
driven olT and went down the river.
Homestead; Pa., 1 p. m., July (!. 1 he
men on both sides of the river opposite
the barges containing the Pinkertons arc
lying in wait for some of the detectives
to show themselves. The men fire nt
eyery moving object on the barges. An
occasional shot conies from the barges.
IN THE NEW QUARTERS.
Tbe Fire Horses Confused When
tbe Alarm Sounded.
The horses of the lire department ran
wild last night when the alarm sounded
and caused slight dclav to the companies
in starting to the fire on Patton avenue.
The apparatus was moved to the new
quarters on yesterday and the drivers
have not had a chance to drill the horses
because of the force of carpenters who
have been finishing up the rooms. The
big electric light, the plank floor and the
distance of the carriages from the stalls
were all new features to the animals and
it took an nnusual amount of time to
get them to their work. Hoth drivers
say the change has affected the horses un
favorably, but that as soon as the work
men leave the house that it will take but
a little while to make everything move
with celerity and precision.

of tbe Corner Mtone.
Waynesvili.e, July 3. The Southern
Assembly of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union convened here Thurs
day morning. Mrs. Wells of Chatta
nooga, president of the assembly, was in
the chair, and a morning and afternoon
session were held on the day of opening.
On Friday morning the several depart
ments of benevolent work under the
auspices of the W. C. T. L'. were pre
sented, and physical culture was pre
sented in the afternoon by Miss Hair, of
New Orleans. Saturday morning's ile
voiional exercises were conducted by
Mrs. Cliapin of Charleston, after which
Miss Kearney of Mississippi, spoke upon
young woman s work (or
the Y. W.
CT. U.)
Asheville lawyers who have attended
court at Wnyucsville should peep in upon
the assembly and sec the wonderful
transformation as a. result of woman
entering the hall of justice. Farming
implements anil all of Richland creek
were ul lied in making Wayncsville's
court house a thing of beauty. The dec
orations arc tasteful in the extreme, nnd
appropriate niottos and beautiful silken
banners, with teslooning of national
colors combine to give a beautiful effect.
Many Ashevillians are in attendance,
and others are expected this week.
Wayni-svii.i.k, July 4-. Not withstand
ing the unpromising looking weather,
I he house w as full to overflowing this
morning ere the appointed hour arrived
for Fourth of July ceremonies ol the W.
C T. U. Assembly. Reserved seats were
rapidly filled by a children's baud one
hundred and fifty strong composing the
Loyal Temperance Legion of Wavncs-
ville. Thev marched in to the beat of
drum, wearing badges and carrying ban
ners bedecked with flowers and embel
lished with illuminated mottoes, such as
"Tremble king nlchohol, for we shall
grow up," "Seeking to save," etc. The
children were greeted bv the audience
standing find waving the Chautauqua
salute.
Alter introductory remarks by Mrs.
Wells, president of the assembly, cx-Gov.
Anderson, ot Kentucky, delivered au ad
dress of welcome. Mrs. Chapin next
followed in remarks, representing the
entire south upon this occasion ot so
much importance to the W. C. T. U. A
poem composed for the occasion by Mrs.
Lidc Mernweather ot lennessee, was
rend by Miss Yeargin of South Carolina.
Miss Kearney, of Mississippi, spoke
for her state in most eloquent language.
Asheville has the promise of an address
by this most gifted daughter of the
south within the near future. An at
tractive personal appearance adds
greatly to the charm of Miss Kearney's
addresses. Miss liaer, of New Orleans
represented Louisinuna and made inter
esting reference to the suppression of the
lottery. Otherstates were similarly rep
resented, and then Mr. J. M. Leach spoke
most eloqently on "Woman in organized
charity." Songs by the children were
interspersed by talks by the adults, and
it was past 2 o'clock when the closing
song "Saloons Must Go," was sung, fol
lowed by the benediction.
The concluding ceremonies connected
with the laying of the corner stone were
postponed for another session. The pro
gram increases in interest as the days go
by, consequently the court house proves
inadequate to the demand for room.
Many from extreme western counties
were present today, besides Ashevillc's
large delegation, and Wavnesville en
masse. Hr. Carry Ic, from Wofford col
lege, is to speak tonight and on Wednes
day night. The assembly bids lair to be
the absorbing topic in Western North
Carolina until the middle of the month.

DID HE TRY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE?
The train which leaves the Asheville
depot at 3:05 was rounding the bend
yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off. His rash
act created great excitement among
the other passengers they all thought it
was a case of suicide. Ladies fainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
sec his mangled form upon the track,
out the tact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Ituncombe Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour
ney without them. He took great chances,
