Jl Confusion of Steam Whistles Dis
turbs tlio Town.
THE LITTLE BILL WAS ON A SNAG.
Ftople From the Town and the Mill Bush
to the Kiver.
CONFLICTING STORIES GIYEN ODT
The citizens of Homestead were greatly
alarmed yesterday afternoon at about G
o'clock by the repeated blowing of the
whistle on the steamer Little Bill and the
whistles In the mills. They ran down to
the river bank to learn what caused the
alarm. The men in the mill rushed out of
the yard to see what was going on, and soon
the nver bank wa? black with excited peo
ple. Inquiry revealed the fact that "while tow
ing two barges up the river the Little Bill
ran into an obstruction just opposite the
the works. Fearing some trap designed to
sink the boat, the barces were quickly re
leased, and the steamer backed out, leaving
the barges in the river. "While getting
away from the barges the pilot pulled the
whistle. A whistle in the mill
answered, and then began a series
of prolonged alternate whistlings between
the boat and the mill This unusual sound
caused a deal of alarm in town, and niind
lulof the tragic part the electric light
whistle played on the morning of July 6 in
arousing the people to meet the Pinkertoas,
the streets were soon filled and a mad rush
was made for the river.
People Were Indignant.
Whe 1 the cause of the alarm was learned
the people were indignant. Many expressed
a wisii that more careTie exercised as pub
lic feeling is still at a high pitch and little
is required to thoroughly arouse the town.
Buinors were rife in Home'stead yester
day of numerous desertions from the non
union men in the mills. The withdrawal
of the Fifteenth Regiment on Monday
and the prospective early sending away
of the Sixteenth were assigned as
the principal cause ot the disaffection in
the non-union ranks. To substantiate the
report, the striters pointed with pride to
the mills, claiming that less work was now
beinc; done than at any time during the
past three weeks. This inspired them with
new hope. The locked-out men say tne
firm cannot run the mills vwththe present
force of men and are as f r u as ever in their
demands.
The locked-out men also say that they
ha e positive proot that many more will
leave before the end of the eek The non
union men are beginning to circulate freely
in the town without molestation irom the
strikers. From expressions heard, it is
interred that the Amalgamated Association
is now depending upon moral suasion, as
by this means itie new men can be won
over to its side easiet- than by force, since
they are accessible.
No Desertions at the 31111.
At the mill it was denied that there are
eny desertion's It is claimed that the re
port that the men were leaving the mills
was started by about 20 men
being discharged on Monday after
noon for incompetency About 75
new men vere claimed to have
come into the works for work yesterday.
The withdrawal of the troops is said to
have had no effect on the uon-union men,
as no more leave than could be expected
lrom the large number of new men em
ployed. Disaffection of any kind is de
nied, and the mills are said to be running
lull. A number of Amalgamated men are
said to have returned to worn yesterday
morning.
Colonel H tilings, his stall and the rifle
team ot the Sixteenth Regiment were
escorted to Brigade headquarters yesterday
by the regimental band, where the Brigade
trophy was presented to General "Wiley.
Tins trophy, a handsome silver urn, was
won at ML Uretna a short time ago by this
rifle team, it having led the Second Brigade
in the number of points made. The
contest for the Connelly medal was begun
yesterday, when a squad from the Six
teenth Regiment went to shoot oyer the
Salt Works range. This medal is offered by
Lieutenant Connelly, Inspector ot Rifle
Practice lor the regiment, to any member of
the Sixteenth, except members ot the team.
Some of the troops are expected to put in
the aiternoon on the range as long as they
remain in camp.
The Slicrifl was in Homestead all day.
His deputies are attending strictly to busi
ness. .No disturbance occurred yesterday,
and no insults were offered to the "non-union
men while passing along the streets. Xot a
tingle arrest was made during the day.
AEBANGIHQ FOE C0LT;AIETJ3 DAY.
The Mayor "Will Confer "With Columbus
Club Members This Mornlns.
A committee from the Columbus Club
will have a conference with the Mayor ibis
morning in regard to the celebration of Col
umbus Day on the 21st of next month. The
club is anxious to have an understanding, as
many of the other Catholic organizations
are desirous of going ahead and have a sec
tarian demonstration if the city officers de
cide not to make it a popular movement.
The cholera scare has deterred the Mayor
lrom acting in the matter until now, but he
thinks the danger is practically over and
will probably lend a baud toward booming
the celebration.

These genuine Dickey
Scotch Cheviot Suits (see
cut) have never been
known to be sold for less
than $7. And they're worth
it, because they will wear
longer and better than
any other Boys' Suits
made. We could not
now sell them for less than
$7, had we not chanced
.to buy a large lot of them
rom a prominent manu
facturer, who, being
crowded against the wall,
was forced to dispose of
them for half price. We,
in t;urn, dispose of them
at half price to you. Come
in, take your choice for
$3.50. We could easily
have sold these suits at
$5 and $6, but, being
crowded for room (on ac
count of present exten
sive building operations)
and wishing to make a
QUICK TURN, we will
let them go at only $3.50.
At this price they're the
best and biggest bargains
ever offered , anywhere.
Ask for them.
