The Little Bill lay alongside the wharf
yesterday afternoon. The number of curi
ous -visitors who parsed through it and ex
amined its bullet scars would have returned
a. handsome revenue to Captain Itogers, the
owner, if an admission fee had been
charged. There is little beautiful about the
Xittle Bill at ordinary times and her pres
ent appearance is somewhat more desolate
than usual.

cago, big and burly, with a slouch hat, a r
powerful frame, and a stern expression on a i
lace that mav at one time have been frank
and good-humored, sat on the lower deck.
He treated his recent trip to Homestead
and back as a mere routine matter in his
work, and spoke of other and hotter occa
sions when he had been under fire. He ex
hibited one hand minus a finger as part evi
dence of his long service under the Pinker
tons. Proud of His Employers.
He is proud of his employers and speaks
of them as possessed of millions of money,
In control of thousands of men,and not easily
rebuffed. He was strong in his opinion
that thestrikfirs would be made to regret
their actions before long and that with a
tree hand the Pinkertons would be able,
ready and willing to avenge their losses.
Bullet holes and imbedded bullets are in
conspicuous evidence all over the boat.
The panes of glass in the pilot house and
cabin windows are broken in many places
and three or four partitions have in some
instances been penetrated by the same
bullet. The steam whistle was punctured
by one missile and the main steam pipe was
struck but uninjured by another.
The men on board who had made the trip
were comparing notes with one another and
thanking their stars that all but one of their
number had come on nmniured. Captain
"Wishart, who was in command of the
Little Bill throughout its adventurous voy
age, was too tired to give a detailed account
ol the occurrences.
Had Been Under FJre Before.
This was not his first experience under
fire, as he said it was his misfortune to be in
charce of the tow which brought the militia
to this city in 1877. He asserts that on the
ionrney to Homestead "So shot was fired
by the Pinkerton men until two of their
number had been wounded. There were
ST' -j.1F
W-5,"
not more than twenty rifles among the two
barge loads of men. The fire seemed to be
directed almost exclusively at the
barges until the Little Bill lett
them. But on the journey to Port
Perrv and back the Little Bill "had to run
the gauntlet of a regular fusillade from both
sides of the river for a mile below Home
stead. The reports were more frequent
than you ever heard on a Fourth of July.
I was "in the pilot house, and that seemed
io be the principal target for the shooters.
There was only one man wounded on board
uid that was John T. McCurry. I was
imply obeying my orders and performing
he work for which I was hired. I asked
o questions and considered It none of my
usiness to inquire into the character of my
irgo or the disposition to be made of it
ter it left my hands at its destination. "
A Trlrran of the lute War.
John T. McCurry was wounded in the
Toin on the Little Bill's return from Port
Perry toward Homestead, and brought to
Pittsburg on board the steamer, and taken
from the wharf by an ambulance of the
Alleghenv General Hospital In an inter
view yesterday morning he said: "My
name is John McCurryandl am 64 years
old. For 17 years I was on the Allegheny
police force. I have been nnder fire before,
as I served daring the war in Company B,
Sixty - Second, Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and was wounded at Fredericksburg in
18C2. I was employed temporarily by Cap
tain Itogers last night. The "workmen
opened fire on the detectives; I have my
God tomeet, and if I am to die now, I am
willing to take oath that the workmen fired
first, and that the Pinkerton men did not
shoot until some of their number had been
wounded."
WANTED THEIR GUNS.
Captnin Corbett and His Men Hare a Lively
Experience. '
Captain Corbett, of Company K, Four
teenth Regiment, got a taste of the fight
yesterday. He had a detail practicing at
the rifle range at the salt works. There
were not over ten men in the party, and all
. T T y 1, , S,' ,' ,. " Q -- - - S - i.

were in uniform except Captain Cor
bett, who is over six leet tall and
built like an athlete. AVheu his
detail fired at the targets a squad of strik
ers suddenly appeared and had the soldiers
surrounded in a moment.
"It looked for a short time as though we
were in, for a fight," said the Captain, "and
the men loaded their guns, and stood on the
defensive. When I explained that we
were only target shooting our visitors
cooled down. They thought, I gness,
judging troni their actions, that we
came out to assist the Pinkertons. A little
later I heard some remarks among them
abiut taking our guns, and finally they be
came so bold that I saw we would have to
make a stand or they might attempt to dis
arm us. I cautioned the men to be on
the lookout for trouble, and then
notified the strikers tha we would kill the
first one among them who tried to take a
gun. This seemed to check them for a mo
ment, and before thev could do anything a
train came along and we got aboard without
wasting any time. For a few minutes I
was almost sure we wot Id not escape with
out bloodshed, for I was determined to
keep the guns at all hazards.
WHAT A MODEL BAKGE IS.
The Two Boats Which Took the Pinkerton
Men to nompstend.
The two barges which carried the Pink
erton men to Homestead lormerly belonged
to the Tennessee Navigation Company.
They were sold as the property of that com
pany by United States Marshal Harrah Jat
week. They were well supplied with cots
and bed clothing. Tables were arranged
alone the centre of each and in the aft end
were ronghly constructed kitchens. All
the necessarv utensils were supplied, in
cluding ice chests.
A model b irge is built somewhat differ
ent from the ordinary coal barce, and, lu-

"nu -u lu wiain.
A Bloody Pillow From Homestead.
Officer Moore yesterday afternoon found
a pillow in the Monongah'ela river near the
Point bridge. It was covered with blood,
and it is supposed came from Homestead.
He took it to No. 8 Police Station.
Ax opportune friend will be found in Dr.
D. Jayne's Expectorant, when racked by a
severe cold, and the many lung or throat
affections which sometimes follow. This
old remedy has met the approval of two
generations, and is to-day as popular, safe
and effective as ever.
Mr. "W. M. Terry, who has been in the
drng business at Elkton, Ky., for the oast
12 years, says: "Chamberlain's Cojgh
Kemedy gives better satisfaction than any
other cough medicine I have ever sold."
There is good reason for this. No other
will cure a cold so quickly; no other is so
certain a preventive and cure for croup; no
other affords so much relief in cjses of
whooping cough. wrhsu
