r-: sacred place was crowded to the very doors with the friends and neighbors of the dead man. Seated in the body of the church were the 20U members ot K. of P. Lodge 479. The two iront pews on the left-hand side had been reserved for the family. Just behind the chanrel rail and directly under the oaken pulpit were two wooden horses draped in black, and on these supports the coffin was deposited. The floral offerings were laid, on a small table at the right of the pulpit. "While the mourners were working their way through the crowded aisle to their seats the undertaker's deft fingers were busy with the coffin lid, and when all were seated the upper half of the lid was turned back and the white face of the corpse ex posed to view. Then at a given signal, "the choir, composed of five men and a young and pretty woman, softly chanted the familiar hvmn, "Nearer my God to Thee." The voices of the singers blended be'autilully, the sweet fresh notes of the soprano Contrasting wi:h the deep tones ol her associates. When the last words of ihe hymn had lost themselves in a flood of harmonious echoes, a tall, clean shaven man with white hair and mild eyes stepped to the edge of the platform. Brought Tear to the Eyes or Alt. He turned to the open Bible and in a low trembling voice read a chapter of Bev elations. The congregation listened atten tively to this reading of the Scripture and when the reader had finished his task, tears stood in the eyes of many ot the stern laced men in the house. "Now" said the venerable preacher, "the band will render the hymn 'Sweet hour of prayer,' and I wish as many of those stand ing'in the rear of this room as can will find seats." When the musicians had finished their task and the choir had rendered "Bock of ages cleft for me," the pastor of the chnrch, Bev. S. J. Mcllyar, delivered the funeral sermon. Contrary to the usual custom, he did not preface hiB remarks with any set text Turning to the reporters seated on the platform lie said: "I understand that there are a number oi reporters and correspondents present. Before proceeding with the sermon, I ask of you gentlemen of the press to quote me cor rectly." "In my time as a minister of the gospel" he said, "I hare officiated at the funerals of men in the higher grades of military life and also at that of common soldiers. I have spoken the last words over the dead during times of cholera, smallpox, malaria, but never before hae I .been called upon to speak words of comfort to the afflicted on an occasion so unnecessary and sad as this." faid Carnezle Was Responsible. The speaker then made an exhaustive and remarkable resume of the events and in cidents of the present trouble between the Carnegies and their employes. He spoke in a clear, uninipassioned voice, aud the only ieeling which he manifested at any time was when he spoke ot the personal qualities ot the man who lay dead before him. After he had carefully reviewed the the history of the trouble up to Wednesday morning, he proceeded to criticise the action of the company, and in no uncertain tone, stated he belie ed the members of that business firm were alone responsible for the tragic episode which had cost "Morris life and brought sorrow and despair into the home ot manj' families in Homestead. He said furthermore that when capi.al and labor could not agree the proper remedy was ar bitration, but in this particular case the cm ploj ers had sternly refused to settle the disputes with the men and by any peaceful remedy. He said: "During all these negotiations between the company and the representatives of the Amalgamated Association, there was per fect quiet in Homestead even after the last conference had been held and the men were locked out of the works the SheriS of Al legheny county cam to this town and held a peaceful interview with the leaders of the men. There was no disorder and no attempted violence. All would have remained quiet but in the evening of the Fourth of July an evening when the citizens of thii beaiiti Jul and prosperous village were enjoying a period of perfect peace and rest there canw floating down the Ohio river from abov Pittsburg two gun boats or in other words two barges furnished and fitted for war like purposes. The inhabitants of Hope stead were perfectly ignorant at this time of what was going on down the river." Taken Oat ot the Sheriff's Hands. "They did not know that the company had taken the matter out of the hands of the Sheriff and by their orders there had been employed in the City of New York a force of 150 Pinkerton men. These men w ere smuggled aboard of the boats on July 5, and iu the darkness of that night were moved up the river. At an early hour on ttie next morning they arrived in front of the works. The company, knowing that the Pinkerton men were unauthorized by the United State. 6ent then, with instruc tions to take Tosscssin ol the plant, and if necessarv use force to accomplish theit pur pose.

The preacher then argued for arbitration and praised the aims and untiring efforts of the Amalgamated Association. In the con cluding sentences of his peroration Mr. Mc llyar criticised the policy of Mr. Prick in unmeasured terms. I rick Denounced by the Pastor. "All this trouble," he said in conclusion, "has been brought about by one man and lie is the President of the Carnegie Steel Coni pauy. They could not have selected a bet ter man lor the work they had on hand His veiy name causes a frown on the face of an honest man and warms the blood of every citizen. I believe that there is no more sense of feeling in him than a toad. I will close my sermon by reading to you this brief selection of David from 'second Samuel, 'Abner died not as the fool dieth. His hands were not in bonds nor his feet in letters.' " The sermon created a profound sensation. When the congregation heard the strong condemnation ot Prick it almost voiced its sentiments by around of applause, but the sobs of the widow and the sight ot the cof fined comrade brought the men to a realiz ing sense of their position. During the progress of the sermon the aged mother of Morris was suddenly taken ill and was led out ot the church by her daughter. Save for a few sobs during the latter portion of the sermon the widow made no audible sign of her grief. When the sermon was over the choir sang three stanzas of the hyinu "Jesus Lover of My SouL" Then trie congrega tion was invited to take a last look at -the dead man's face. One by one the many women made their "way past the corpse and then hurriedly left the church. Then the family and the immediate friends of the deceased gathered for a moment about the co tli u. Strange to relate there was nothing sensational about the leave-taking. Mrs. Morris drew aside her veil and with a half suppressed sob gazed long and tenderly into her husband's face, and it was the face of a young and intelligent man. In the center ot the forehead half hidden by a stray lock of brown, hair was a square piece ot "white court plaster. Court 1'Iastrr Bit! tin 1'. ound.

TJp the long steep hills the mourners toiled, the band leading the way and playing, as they marched, airs appro priate "to the occasion. Just before the gates of the cemetery were reached, an other of the great body of the wage workers joined the procession. This second divit ioji was also headed by a band and was composed for the most part of Slavs. These well-dressed foreigners were there to pay their last respects to Peter Farris, the voung Slav, slain iu the first skirmish with the Pinkertons. Men who knew him and knew him well said Farris was a sunny-tempered, big-hearted fellow, and judging from the number of men who followed him to his grave he was most popular. At the City of the Dead.

The final service over the Morris grave was exceedingly brief. It consisted of a short burial service read by a member of the lodge of Odd Fellows and the usual prayers by the Bev. Mcllyar. Then amid the widow's sobs and the dirges of the band, clods fell on the coffin and all was over but it was different across the way. There the Slavs were drawn up before young Farris' grave, and with bowed heads listened to an impassioned address by the Bev. Ham u ml Wider, of the Slavonic Church in Braddock. The priest wore a surplice of snow white linen and a black tcrretta. He spoke in the language of his people, and, according to those who could understand, his words were eloquent and appropriate. Farris' funeral was solemn ized in his brother's house, which is situ ated in the lower end of the village front ing the river. Hardly had the Morris funeral party re turned to the village when the people who lingered iu the vicinity of the new made graves saw another procession moving up the road. It was made up ot the friends and neighbors of Silas Wnine, the young mill worker whose head had been nearly severed from his body by a shot from a can non early in the battle! Waine, who was unmarried, lived with his mothfr at the corner of Seventeenth and Miffiin Streets. It was in the little front parlor 01 his mother's house that the service was held. The Bev. John B. Glass, of the Free Metho dist Church, officiated. Waine is buried close to where Morris lies. The golden shadows of early eventide were gathering when the last mourner had left the ceme tery. Slowly and sadly the people returned to their homes and the long, solemn-day ot earthly leave taking was closed. DISOBEYED HIS MOTHER. Willie Foy Tells His Experiences as a Lead er of the Attacking Party Re Fell n the First Fire With a Bullet Through Ilia Z-unsrs. William Foy, who fell at the first firing of the Pinkertons Wednesday morning and who was reported among the dead, is aliv'e and now threatens to recover. He was visited at hiv home yesterday by a Dis patch representative. He was found propped up in his bed reading the morn ing's Dispatch. He was excited and was considerably worked up by the reports of Wednesday's battle. He is a rather good-looking man of 30 years of age. He lives with his mother and four brothers. His mother attempted to quiet him, but he refused to heed her. He told his storv with much earnestness, and he admits, although reluctantly, that his disobedience caused all h& trouble and may cost him his life. "I was in the first rush to the gangplank of the Pinkertons' barge," he,, said, "and I think I was the second man on our side to fall. I was leading, as I supposed, the rush to get on the boat and make a hand-to-hand fight with the invaders. I had just reached the gangplank when I was shot in the shoulder. The ball entered just above my left lung and passed through, and is still in the muscles of my back. I ubled over and rolled under the gangplank For a time I thought it was all up with me, but after the first stream of firing I crawled up the shore, and climbed up the embankment to where my Iriends were intrenched. There I fainted and seemed to die. I was carried home and my death was reported with the others." Willie Disobeyed His Mother's Heeding. "If yon had obeyed your mother yon wonld'not have been shot," Mrs. Foy inter runted. "Yon are not working at the mill, and you had no business there," she con tinued. Then the old lady explained that the other four sons had been working at the mill and had a right to go out and fight for their situations. "1 told the other fonr to co out that morning," she said, "and I told them not to come back if thev allowed the black sheep to walk into their places, but I coaxed "Willie not to go. I had a mind as be had no business there bo might be hurt. The others are just as brave as lie is, but they did not disobey their mother and they es caped without a scratch. Willie will mind me after this, though," the old lady con cluded, as she went with tears streaming down her cheeks to the bedside ol her boy and buried her face in the pillows on which he was propped np. "I guess I'll not, mother," her son re pliedwiping awav a tear and endeavoring to console his mother. Voy's wound is dangerous, but his physi cian says it is not necessarily fatal. Her IlusbJtncl Died In II of Defenxe. Mrs. Morris, the widow of John Morris, who was killed by the Pinkertons on Wednesday morning, told a doleful storv to The Dispatch reporter after the fuueral ot her hnspand. She seemed to be over whelmed with grief, and while she talked she wept bitterly. "We had just gotten our little house paid for by hard work, and we were so happy," she began. "I was afraid he was going" to be killed, and when the alarm was sounded that morning I coaxed him to stay with me. He said he had to go. 'Women,' he said, 'I would rather die defending you and my job, than to live and be called a black sheep.' We then sat down and drank a bottle ot root beer together, and then he kissed me, and with his gun on his shoulder he ran out to his death. I want the world to know he was a loyal husband. I am sorry for the widows of the Pinkerton men who were killed. The weight of their dis tress must be increased when they realize that their huabands died while trying to take other people's jobs" Then she broke out in a hysterical fit ofy crying. She is a rather pretty woman. 1 I M 9f 'THE PlTTSBURa THE GALLANT Dwindles Down to Thirty- Fonr in the Sheriff's ." ' Citizen Brigade.

" SCENES AT THE COUXTT PEACE OFFICE SheriS McCleary is not a howling success as a recruiting officer. He sent out 400 notices to good and able-bodied citizens to report at his office at '9 o'clock yesterday morning for duty as deputy sheriffs at Homestead. The ranks of his gallant 400 were sadly decimated. Uerve food had evidently not been their diet for sorAe time, and consequently about 266 of them are cow suffering from that tired feeling or some other complaint which incapacitates them for duty. Only 31 responded. Chunks of courage could be picked up on almost any street leading to the Court House yesterday. In a few cases it could even be seen oozing out of the bootlegs of some of the unfortunates who were the un happy possessors of notices from the Sheiifl. It solidified on the sidewalks, and terrified the timid. Three hundred and sixty-six able-bodied men wished.for the time being, that they were in the "Bad Lands,',' or some other secluded corner of the earth. The Sheriff was not alone in anathematizing riots and rioting in general. Misery is supposed to love com pany, and he had plenty of it. Probably more men suddenly discovered that they were fit subjects for a hospital yesterday than ever before in the same length ot time in Pittsburg. They All Hud Good Excuses. The scenes and remarks in the Sheriff's office yesterday were scarcely encouraging. None went there except thoso who were compelled by pressing business. They breathed easier when they succeeded in get ting out without being deputized to go to Homestead. The excuses and pleadings of those who were called were more ridiculous than Beri ous. Everything imaginable from "mother-in-law ill'" to "baby teething" was given as an excuse for not being able to serve in McClcary's gallant brigade. They said that had no desire to be stormed by shot and shell, or to emulate the heroes ol Balak lava, who were immortalized by Tennyson. Joe Marshall, the Sheriff's chief clerk, was harrassed all day, and although his posi tion was not calculated to promote patience he presented an unruffled countenance to all visitors. About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a big robust-looking man stalked up to the counter and bawled out: "Say, I can't go to .Home stead." "Whv, what is the matter with yon?" asked Mr. Marshall. "My wife objects," was his answer. "She is rais'ing Cain up at the house, and says she knows I'll be killed, and I ain't go ing." Well, I suppose that settles it," replied the clerk, and the robust man went out More ATi ho Didn't Want to Go. "See here, what do you people mean by sending me a notice?" said a tall, well-built old man, who spoke with a slight German accent and wore a Veteran Legion badge on the lapel of his coat. "You folks ought to know that I am a crippled soldier. Why, even the United States Government would not thick of ordering me out Here are tickets I bought last nizht for New York, before I got the notice, and I am not going to wait for the honor of being a deputy" said the old man as he tried to throw a tinge of sarcasm in his tones, and strode indignantly out of the office. . This kind of dialogue was kept up all day and the result was that only- 34 men were found who were willing to go. The Sheriff refused to give for publication a list of those whom he had subpoenaed.

Robert E. 1'attlson, Governor, HarrUburg: .Last night I went to Homestead, accom panied by officials of the Amalgamated As sociation, and succeeded in bringing an ay tlio guards sent by river who hud surren dered to the rioters.

Tbo result is that ud 1 to noon to-day 31 persons have l eportod, all P without arms.

Theso notices will be served to-day.

As soon as any etiort is made to take possession of the property another outbreak will oocur. W. H. McCleaut, Sheriff. .Tne Sheriff spent the entire afternoon in in his office. He said he did not expect a reply from Governor Pattison to his telegram, but he wanted to be on deck in case any word should be sent from Harris- burg. 'He said ne would go to Homestead this morning with these men, although he. did not expect that all of them would be found in line when the start is made. Conncllmen CDonnfell Gives His Views.

JULY .8, 1B92. all times, believes that the trouble at Homestead as practically over. He said last evening: "A dav of sober second thought will, I believe, have satisfied those poor fellows at Homestead that they cannot win against the power the Carnegie capital can torn against them. They will fight no more and it is to their interest now to assist in every way toward the preservation of the peace and restoring the mills to whomsoever the company may desire to put in them, "Kegarding the action of Sheriff Mc Cleary I think he has acted in a dilatory manner, though perhaps it was for the best that he did not take a large number of citi zens to Homestead on Tuesday. His action of issuing summons on the class of men he has ordered for depnty duty at Homestead to-morrow seems like a burlesque. The idea of calling on such men as Joseph Home, John B. Larkin, Philip Hoerr and myself, all men well advanced in years, seems farcical in the extreme. "I doubt if any man over 45 years of age can be compelled to serve on a Sheriffs posse. The military law exempts a man irom compulsory service after he is 45 years of age, and I don't think the Sheriff's authority permits more than that of martial law. I think I will contest the point if the issue is forced upon me." STATUS OP THE GUARD. i General Wiley Says Th:re Are 8,400 Men in the MUltla Armories Carefully Watched Two Men Caught Climbing Through a Window. The question that is now being asked by nearly everybody is: "Will the militia be called out,-and are they strong enough to combat with the thousands of iron work ers?" General Wiley was in the city yester day, and gave, the standing of the militia as follows: First Brigade, with headquarters at Phil adelphia: Regiments, First, Second, Third and Sixth; Battalion, State Fencibles, four companies; Battery A, Gray Invincibles (colored) company and City Troop Cavalry, in all mustering about 2,500 men. Second Brigade, headquarters at Franklin: Fifth, Tenth, Fourteenth, Eighteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth Regiments; Sheridan Troop of Cavalry, of Tyrone, and Battery B, num bering in all about 3,100 men. Third Brigade, headquarters at Lebanon, consists of the Fourth, Eighth, Ninth Twelfth and Thirteenth Regiments; Governor's Troop Cavalry, and Battery C, the number of men being about 2, 800. This makes a grand total of 8,400 men in the National Guard of Pennsylvania, in cluding the cavalry and the three batteries. Some Men Wouldn't Go. The officers of the militia located in this ciCy have been on the qui vive since the trouble at Homestead has been brewing. All Wednesday night Colonel Norman Smith, of the Eighteenth Regiment, waited patiently for orders irom Harrisburg to prepare his regiment for duty. Some of the lieutenants and a great many of the men in the ranks say that they will lie in jail before they will go to Homestead, not through fear, but because the majority of them have friends and relatives there. The Iron workers are not leaving any thing to luck, and a close watch is being kept on everything that could in any way be used against them. From this the mil itia is not exempt, and for several days suspicious looking persons have been loiter ing about the armories of theFourteenth and Eighteenth regiments and Battery B. The officers bad their suspicions aroused, and two men were placed on guard in both armories and double guard was placed on Battery B. The Gnirdi "Were Needed. That the guard ivai needed was proved on Wednesday night When one of the guards iu the Eighteenth Regiment armory was making his rounds he noticed two men slip through aback window. The guard pounced upon the midnight visitors and grappled with one of them. The other fled. and the guard, being the weaker of the two, was unable to hold the marauder. The guard states that the men were well dressed and looked as though they were- not ordinary thieves. At the first of the trouble only two men were placed on guard at Battery B headquarters, but word came to the ears .of the officers that an attempt would be made to spike the guns of the bat tery. Orders were at once given to double the guard, and a vigalant watch is being kept, and only members ol the organization are allowed in the armory. The coming of General Wiley to the city caused some comment. The General said: "I was merely passing through the city and stopped off for a short time. The officers ot the brigade have called on me, and started the report that I came to prepare for a cam paign. If there is any intention of calling out the National Guard I have received no word, and I am the one who would get the first intimation." The General stated further that the militia would, if called upon, protect life and property. This leaves the Inference that thev would not act as guards. WILL STOP THE BOATS. AH Suspicions Vessels Will Be Held TJp at Lock No. 1. When Jones & Laughlins' men visited Homestead on Wednesday ' they entered into a solemn compact with the men there to protect them. One part of the agreement was that the Southside men should watch Lock No. 1 on the Monongahela river. There is an organization among these men and a code of signals as at Home stead. They have pledged them selves to stop any attempt to run non union men or Pinkertons up the river. They are prepared to use force if neces sary.

Mny Attempts Blade to Bell Fake News Items in Homestead. AH sorts of attempts were made to make money off the newspapers early yesterday morning at .Homestead. One man came around with a fake list of the Pinkerton men that W offered for 510. Hefoundsome foolish enough to buy. He was only a sample of the people who tried to sell bogus news'matur. The only official list was captured at the surrender by Hugh O'Donnell and he did not give it out for publication.

VERY GLAD TO GET AWAY. H. C. Frick Charters a Special Train From President Roberts.' MADE A MYSTERY OF THE MATTER. Nearly All the Detectives Are flow Ac connted for bj Officials. SPENDING A BAD NIGHT ON THE CARS Great mystery surrounded the removal yesterday forenoon of the Pinkerton detec tives from thistitv. A special train on the Pennsylvania Railroad left the yards at Eighteenth street at 10:15 A. 3L, containing the majority of the Pinkerton men, sand carried them east as far as Philadelphia. It was rumored that they were to be taken to New York. The mystery about the removal was that no person could be found who knew the circumstances under which the special train was chartered, or who was to pay for it Naturally it would be expected that Divi sion Superintendent Pitcairn, of the Penn sylvania Railroad, would know, but he did not He was seen yesterday afternoon and said that the arrangements for the train were not made with him, and that he did not know with whom they were made. He assured the reporter that he was in dead earnest in saying that he knew absolutely nothing about the train. It was learned positively that the special left Pittsburg at the hour named. A rail road official, who did not desire the publica tion of his name,said that an cSort had been made by the Carnegie Company to find Mr. Pitcairn, but that they could not find him during the forenoon, and that business was done directly with President Roberts in Philadelphia. No one about the depot knew who was to pay for the special, but it was the general understanding that the Carnegie Steel Company was responsible for the expense. The Men Were In Bad Shape. Some claimed that arrangements for the train had been made by CL L. Magee. This was denied by thai gentleman himself, but he admitted that he had arranged for the train which brought the men from Home stead to Pittsburg. 'Those men were up there in very bad shape," he said, "and every human instinct 'dictated that they should be removed as speedily as possible. Thev were brought to this city, and here my knowledge of their disposition ends." Sheriff McCleary pleaded equal ignorance of the arrangements by which.the men were taken East He had nothing to do with it, but understood that a man named Huntley had made the arrangements. During the morning Chief J. O. Brown and Superintendent O'Mara visited the offices oi the Carnegie Steel Company and had a' talk with H. C. Prick, asking him to have the men removed from the jurisdiction ot the county and State. Mr. Prick, it is said, promised to attend to ihe matter, and the officials left. Within an hour the special train had been made up. The Pinkertons spent a bad night in the cars at Ben Venue. They had -nothing to eat all night long, and were almost starved. Yesterday morning luneh was served to them in the cars, being ordered by the Car negie Company. The men were so hungry that the food fell far short of their desires. The Cars Guarded by Officers. y During the night the ears were guarded by Inspector Silvis and a dozen uniformed officers and detectives, who saw to it that no man escaped. The tired officers were re lieved at 10:30 o'clock, and were brought down to the Union depot in a special car. There was some mystery also as to the number ot men brought from Homestead and sent East The Sheriff said that he did not know how many men he brought d.own. It was reported from Homestead that only 185 men had been sent away, and there was much speculation yesterday as to what had become ot the 100 missing men. Stephen Madden, of the Amalgamated Association, said that the officials of that organization who accompanied the special train reported that the number oi Pinkerton men on it was 285. This figure agrees with the statements of the Pinkerton men themselves, who say that there were about 330 in the entire force when it went up on the twobarges. PINKERTONS AT HOME.

The party rapidly dispersed, and 'while most bf them sought the nearest way home some of them hastened toward the nearest saloon and washed down the-dust that had been collecting in their throats from Tuesday night A number of newspaper men were await ing their arrival, but one fellow, who seem ingly had the men in charge, ordered them to decline to say anything, or even acknowledge that they were Pinkerton de tectives. Three or the Pinkertons Talk. Three of the men who were caught be yond the espionage of this watchful person talked freely enough. They were loud in their denunciation of tne Homestead strikers, and declared they were treated shamefully. One of the three expressed his willingness to return ifan adequate force of men with gatling guns was pro vided. According to the story told by the three Pinkerton men during that long 'day on the barge they spent their time in seeking for crevices in the side of the" boat to fire at the strikers. They fought at a disadvantage, for the men on shore could see info the open ends of the barge, and so pick off any men who approached too closely toward the opening, and in addition the bullets from the rifles of .the Homestead strikers were continually piercing the boilerplate sides of the barges. On toward S o'clock in the afternoon their ammunition began to grow low- and the question of an unconditional surrender was broached. One man opposed the idea strenuously, but finally the, "rest of the men decided- to run up the white flag. Pinding the sentiment was going azainst him, the man who opposed surren dering became more vehement than ever in his opposition. He said he, would not sur render; that death was preferable totrawl- ing ashore like whipped dogs, and that he, for.one, would fight it out to the end. Suicided Bather Thai Mmehdrr. According to the men telling the- -story there were sharpshooters aboard the barge, and one of these said to the man who pre ferred death to surrender, "You , if you do not agree to come in I will blow yonr - brains out"' The reply was, "I will not come in; lam going out to the end of the boat to defy them." Turning toward the open end. of the bqat, the man walked that way. In his hand was a a Colt's revolver, and while the rest of his less brave companions were watching him walk toward the end of the boat, he sudden ly raised the pistol to his head, pulled the trigger and fell back on the deck dead, with his .brains oozing ;out on.the already blood-soaked boards. This tragedy, coming so fast upon so many of others, took the last pirticle of courage' out'of the de tectives, and they at once surrendered. The story of the terrible gauntlet run between the lines of infuriated workmen, has already been told.

The Pbiladelphians escaped with comparatively slight injuries, and with the exception o'f a man named Kelly, who was killed on the barge, none of them were dangerously hurt None of the men have received any pay yet for their services. They claim they "were hired as watchmen, and that they were to receive f 2 50 a day. THE TRACK WAS CLEARED. Can leaded Willi Pinkertons Whirled Thronjh to the East. Altoona, July 7.

SpeciaL A constant stream oflabor leaders of all stripe,? poured into headquarters of the American Federal tion of Labor to-day to learn particulars re garding the rout of the Piukerton men at Homestead.

Have heen re fused a conference. Watch all labor organi zations in Ken- York and Brooklyn. "Regarding a rumor that many of the 300 armed Pinkerton men were non-union men In disguise, who, if they had effected a quiet landing, would have filled the places of some of the strikers, Mr. Gompers said: "I have heard the rumor, and I believe it. The fact that 300 men gathered, together in to short a time shows that the company was prepared to assemble them. It wasv a piece of bloodthirsty business in the begin ninsr." He spoke very bitterly of the attitude of Air. .BricK; who ne said was cold-blooded, arrogant, and absolutely indifierent to' the feelings of the workinginen. "I sought an interview whh Mr. Frick"' he continued, "during the troubles of the coke workers, over a year ago, and told him civilly that I wanted to talk mat ters over with him with a view to an amicable settlement 'I have made up juy mind,' he said, 'never to confer with labor men.' He would not have arguments irom me, so I left in disgust" Mr. Gompers would not say that hewas in Pittsburgh last week, but 'he admitted that he had been in consultation with the leaders of the' Amalgamated Association before the strike took place, and was still in communication with them. Secretary Christopher Evans of the- Federation, who is also a member of its executive council, is believed to be in Pittsburgh.

" -'-1 TAKING lOpCES, A IjolicemaE Doing Sentinel - Duty at the Company s General Offices. DETECTIYES AS GUABDS. Mr. Fjick Seldom Goes on the Streets, and Eats in His Boom. THE FIBM HOLDS A CONFERENCE, And Decides to ftght It Out With the Amalgamated People. WILL SUE THE COUXTT FOE DAMAGES If the members of the Homestead firm are badly scared they manage to conceal it very cleverly. Their position is not pleas ant, and they realize it. A visit to the general offices on Fifth avenne yesterday would not have revealed to a stranger that the company has had trouble- of the most exciting kind wjth its men in the last 48 hours. The clerks ete busy at work, and the click, click of the typewriting machines was heard continually. The external appearances did not indicate anything unusual, but the presence of a big policeman at the elevator door downstairs was significant. Occasionally the of ficer was absent yesterday, but he was always around when a crowd collected to read the bulletins. On the day of the riot the guardian ot the peace did sentinel duty at the elevator entrance. "When a suspicious-looking person ap peared, he politely asked his business. Whether he had any right to or not, this precaution was taken. , Wanted to Know, Don't Ton Know? The big officer followed his instructions yesterday, and once in awhile he wanted to know what some person was after in the building. A few men lounged around in front of tbe build ing as if doing detective work, but, of course, th?y denfed it. A business man who seemed to know re marked that Mr. Frick is practically a pris oner in his own office. Not that he is really confined, but he seldom goes on the street. "When he arrives in the morning, ha comes prepared to stay all day, and his dinner is sent to his office. It is possi ble he may be too busy to go out for his meals, or he wisely keeps in seclusion to ponder on the situation. Mr. Lovejoy denies that Mr. Frick is guarded by two detectives and that he has as many more, around his home in the Eat End at night. There "are others, ,the 'detectives them selves, who admit it is true. Mr. Frick's office is on the second floor of the building. His room is a snail one, fac ing Fifth avenue, and he can sit in his chair and look down on the hurry ing throng below. A swinging class door, stained, white and with the word "Chairman" written on it, conceals the manager Irom view. A bench is provided in the ante-room for visitors waiting to see the coke king, and irom the seats the man who is fighting the Amalga mated Association can be seen every tini the door is opened. C A Description ofMana-rer Frick. Frick is a short man and wears a f beard. His manners are t, a h not hard to reach. Haiunusua.i.y talks freely, but sinjw the riot he has ioo. up like a clam. If he has a statement to make he writesit. He claims the local newspaper men garble and twist what he says to suit themselves. This shows Mr. Frick is excited. Apparently be was cool yesterday, and received i-is callers without much ceremony. He came to his office in the morning in an unDleasannt humor, and relused to talk at all for publication, but later in the day he changed his mind and had a long statement prepared. Business men who Know Frick say he is a fighter, and in dealing with him they watch his neck. "When they see the blood rising, fil ing the veins under his jaws and flushing his lace, they realize he is mad aud it is time to quit. Even the pert youngster delegated to find ont your name and business has the suspi cious fever. If a man asks a question not in the line of armor plate or pig-iron, he looks at von quizzically arid puts you down as a reporter. He doesn't hesitate to ask if you are not a newspaper writer and want to know something about the strike. A great many reporters called at the office yesterday, and the boy will soon be well posted. "Ah, you can't pump me," he replied to two gentle men, who carelessly asked how soon Mr. Frick could be seen and if anybody was in bis office. Something About Secretary lovrjoy. Secretary Lovejoy is a young man, a new one in his present position and a very smooth article. He occupies a room on the sixth floor, and he is quite democratic and easy to approach. He trotted around in his sleeves yesterday and answered questions glibly. He has seen so many re porters in the last few days that he takes it for granted every caller is a newspaper man until he learns otherwise. He smiled a good deal as he talked, about the future and deplored the affair at Homestead. It is plain the young Secretary hasn't much sym pathy for the workmen. Yesterday afternoon the members of the firm had a conference, but Mr. Lovejoy de nied it He said they met often and. had informal talks on the situation. When asked if he had anything to say, he replied laconically, "no. . "WJH the firm provide for the families of dead and wounded?" "That question hasn't been considered. The firm will do wliat is right with its own men." "That is, the Homestead people will have to take care of themselves." "Yes, certainly." The Time Past far Conferences. "Will the company confer again with the men?"- ' "With the Amalgamated Association, do you mean? Never. The time has passed. We are through vith all conferences. Those who want to go to work for us can do so. We want no interference with the mill. We will do what we can to assist the Sheriff to restore order and secure pas session of our property. If he asks us to help him in getting deputies we will furnish him some, but-I don't think he should ex pect us to do that." "Will any more Pinkerton detectives be sent to Homestead?" 'I guess not," with a smile. "The com- any is as determined as ever. We have een accused of being arbitrary, but that is not true. We gave tbe men notice of onr position, and they were not surprised. "Mr. Carnegie is in the Highlands, and Is taking no- part in the trouble. He has left the problem to the men at home to handle. The barges that were burned cost 75,000 spiece. We will have to pay for them, but we will look to somebody else to make good tbi loss." ' ' "Some lawyers offer their services free to bring charges of murder against members of the firm. "Ob, that doesn't worry us," was the re ply, and this point the Secretary turned to his work. JB.&B..
