The Judicial Conference.
The first conference between the Be
publicans of BuUer and Lawrence counties
regarding the Judicial nomination, took
place at the Leslie House in New Castle,
Tuesday. Jno. M. Greer, the nominee ot
this County was represented by Newton
Black, Geo Maxwell and John Dindinger;
and "W". D. "Wallace, the nominee of Law
rence Co., by G. W. McCracken, H. P.
Shanor G. "W. Lawrence.
Both candidates were put in nomination,
eight tie votes were taken, and then the
conference adjourned to meet in Butler on
Thursday, the 21st inst
Free Silver in the Senate.
- The United States Senate passed a free
silver coinage bill as unqualified and un
relieved of every saving grac* as it is pos
sible for language to make it Even tho
proviso that foreign silver coins should not
be brought here and dumped into oar
mints, was strioken out The silver plank
of the Chicago Convention, which professes
to express the Democratic faith aa to sil
ver, and would have operated as a rule oi
interpretation if placed in the bill, was
laid on the table by the Democratic Sena
tors when moved aa an amendment to the
bill. The free coinage of a 600 grain sil
ver dollar which embodied the recom
mendation of the Democratic platform
that the gold and silver dollar shall be oi
the same intrinsic and exchangeable val
ue, was also voted down, showing the in
sincerity and essential dishonesty of the
Democratic professions on that point Not
content with providing foT the free coin
age into United States legal tender dollars
of all the silver in the world at a rate 50
per cent, above its present value, it is also
ordered that the silver bullion now in the
Treasury, against which United States
legal tender.notes have already been issued
shall also be converted into silver dollars.
This bill passed by the vote of 17 Dem
ocrats and 12 Bepublicans in favor to 7
Democrats and 18 Bepublicans against. Of
the twelve Bepublicans eleven are from
silver mining Statfißj_or from States imme
uißieiyeflJPtgflig *
is silver. The other Bepublican voting
for free silver is J. Donald Cameron, of
Pennsylvania. The eleven voted in ac
cordance with what they had reason to be
lieve were the interests and wishes of theii
constituents. Mr. Cameron voted direct
ly against the interests of his constituents,
and is the only .Bepublican hailing from
any Btate east of the Dakotas who had the
hardihood to join the Democrats in voting
to stamp as a dollar every 68 cents worth
of silver brought to our mints.
Should this bill beoonie a law and remain
on the statute book long enough to worl
out its fall effect, it would reduce by one,
third the allowance oi every pensioner,
the legal value of every savings bank de
posit, and all fixed inoomes; and until a
painful readjusting prooess had been gone
through with, it would reduoe wages and
salaries by a like amount. Free-silvei
coinage means a rapid drop to a silvei
basis, and the substitution of a silver dol
lar at its true value, for the gold dollar at
the legal measure of value. It means the
exodus of gol4 and the reduction of the
United States to the ranks ot the silver
standard countries such as Mexico, China,
and British India. It means the introduc
tion for a season of a general state of insta
bility by which sharp speculators will
profit but the general body of the people
will lose.
Happily there is no danger of this result
while President Harrison is in the White
House ready to veto such vicious legislr.
tion. The strength and audacity or the
free-silyer men show, however, the urgent
necessity oi electing Senators and Repre
sentatives who will support the President
in resisting such assaults upon the integri
ty of our currency.
As is very apt to be the case when vory
important votes are taken, Mr. Quay was
not present when this pernicious measure
received the sanction of the Senate and the
support of Mr. Cameron.—Philadelphia
Press.
Closed Against Americans.
A dispatch from New Castle dated last
Friday read as follows:
In court this morning, the examining
committee of the Lawrence County Bar
Association asked to be excused from ser
ving any longer, saying there were too
many applications from law students to be
admitted to the bar. D.B.Kurti stated
that he had no less than three applications
in his pocket at present. This statement
brought forth some caustic remarks from
Judge Haien, who was on the bench at
the time. Said he:
"We as a people are shutting our doors
against young Americans learning any of
the branches of skilled labor, and the rea
son of this is the very stringent laws which
are passed and rigorously enforced by la
bor organisations. Go to any of the works
where skilled labor is employed and see
wbo occupy the skilled labor positions.
They are Europeans. The doors are shut
against our own young men, and about the
only way an American boy can get an op
purtnnity of learning a skilled labor trade
is for him to hare some foreigner adopt
him. It is a deplorable state of affairs,
bat it is true. Go to our steel rod mills
and you will tind that foreigners are in the
best positions.
T visited the Pittsburg Plate Glass Works
plant some time ago, and found that every
position requiring skilled labor was filled
by an European. Understand me, the
Europeans are filling those places, bat I
deplore the necessity which exists for
bringing them here. The bars are fast
filling up in all the cities, simply because
young men want to earn a living and the
doors are shut against them by labor or
ganizations and they are compelled to sta
in Ohio some years ago, any man who
could obtain the signatures of three Asso
ciate Judges could be admitted to the bar,
and as it was an easy thing to obtain these
signatures the State was soon overrun with
attorneys. The State was obliged to take
a hand and put a stop to it, and now a man
can not be admitted to the bar unless he
first passes an examination before the Su
preme Court. In Lawerence County we
bare 40 attorneys, and in Butler Coaniy
CO, and there is not enough business for
one third that number. The examining
committee will not be interfered with at
present, and it is hoped that they will be
awn stringent in (he future.
rHE HOMESTEAD AFFAIP..
Homestead, Pa., a town of 12,000 inliab
itants on the Monongobala, a few miles
above Pittsburg, was the scene, last week,
of a terrible and bloody enconntcr between
nrganixed labor and the immense capital
of the Carnegie Company.
The facts which led to this conflict seem
to be as follows:
The wage agreement between the firm
Mid the Amalgamated Association expired
in July Ist. By it the wages paid were
Sxed on a sliding scale, based on the
market price of iron and steel. Recent
improvements in the machinery have been
introduced at Homestead which, accord
tng to Mr. Frick, Carnegie's Manager,
(could increase the output so much that a
ower scale of wages in the case of some
528 men was necessary. Under this pro
posed reduction, he stated, the men wonld
■eally make at least as much as hereto
■oie. This applied to men who were mak
ng from $8 to sl2 per day. This was the
irst point. It is said that the Amalga
nated Association are now willing to agree
,o this and to the following point:
Under the old scale $25 was fixed as the
ninimum price for steel; that is, while the
irice could go as high as it pleased and
!he workers wages along with it, when it
ivent below $25 per ton the scale was not
iffected but remained as if steel were
(forth $25. Frick asked to have it chang
sd to $23. *
The third point of difference was the
late ot expiration of the gliding
las heretofore expired on June 30. Frick
Fished to have it expire on Dec. 31. This
g the main point of difference. Tt really
means whether in case of trouble at tlio
jxpiration of scale, the workmen will have
!rarm weather to fight in or will be antag
>ni*ed by winter's oold as well as Frick.
On this point both sides are firm. On
luly Ist, no agreement having been reach
sd, Frick declared the works closed. The
workmen at once assumed control of the
town of Homestead and everyone entering
WM closely examined as to hisbusiness.and
was ordered to leave if he could not give a
good reason for his presence.
Mr. Frick appealed to the Sheriff on
Tuesday and Deputy Sheriff Cluley at
tempted to take possession of the works on
that day, and took the afternoon train for
the seat ot trouble.
As soon aa the train was brought to a
standstill the deputies steppped down,and,
forming a compact body, headed by Cluley
started toward the gate, against which
stood several hundred brawney mill men.
Not a sound was heard save the heavy
breathing of the strikers and the grating
of the pebbles beneath the heels of the ad
vancing deputies. They came within a
few feet of the determined strikers, who
looked them square in the eyes without
flinching or moving an inch from their po
sition before the gate.
Ex-Sheriff Cluley advanced and in a
clear voice said: "Men, we command
you to fall back, and give us entrance tc
the property of the Carnegie Steel Coropa
ny, which we have been detailed tc
guard."
There was silence for a moment, when
one of the workers stepped from the crowd
and said:
"We cannot permit you to enter thf
mill. Tho property isn't in danger, noi
does it require your guardianship, and w«
think that should we admit yon to thif
mill, it would bo against our interests, sc
we will not allow you to enter. Sbouk
you wish to return to Pittsburg we wil
see that you get safely out of town.
A messenger was immediately dispatch
ed to the captain of the little steamer Ednf
to raise steam and hold himself in ret»di
muitiiMrrattia df-ftutips tf> Glenwood
while a large guard of brawny worknrei
gathered around the deputies and startc<
towards headquarters,whsr<
the men were to be kept till the boat wa;
ready.
The guard was hardly needed, as then
was but little demonstration, and tho dep
uties were taken through the 3000 work
men so quietly that many didn't knov
what was going on. Thirty minutes late
word oame from the Edna that all wa
ready, and the march to the boat, abou
one-quarter mile distant, was begun. Eacl
deputy was escorted by a workman, and i
large forco of men took their position
across the street, not permitting the largi
crowd to pass and follow the deputies
Not a loud word was spoken during tin
trip, and the uninitiated had occasion t<
think it was a funeral procession. Acting
Sheriff Cluley brought up the rear of thi
procession, with Burgess McLuckie, o
Homestead, and when the riyer bank wa
reached each deputy shook hands in tun
with his escort, thanked him and steppec
on board. Mr. Cluley was the last t<
leave the shore, and as he stepped on thi
plank waved his hand to tho boys, saying
"I am much obliged boys for your kind
ness, and now I will walk the plank. Thi
Enda pushed off amid dead silence, am
the little crowd dispersed as quietly as i
came.
Bnt the tragedy was to follow. Frick
engaged 300 Pinkerton detectives and sent
them by boats from Pittsburg, on Tuesday
night,to land at the works and guard them.
The workmen were informed of this and
were gathered en masse to prevent the
landing of the Pinkertons. The detectives
were in two barges, iron plated, and towed
by the "Little Bill" steamer.
Before the barges were within 100 feet
of the landing, that portion of the rivor
bank was literally covered with millmen,
brandishing their clubs, while some on the
bank above were tiring their revolvers at
the occupants of the boats.
Up to this time there had not been a
sign of life on the barges, but when within
50 feet of the shore the large doors at the
end of the boats were thrown open and as
many men as could conveniently stand on
the little forward decks crowded qnickly
oat.
Through the rapidly coming daylight the
men on the bank recognized the slouch
hatted, blue-coated, heavily-armed Pinker
ton men. Every one of the Pinkertons
held in his hand* one of the deadly Win
chester rifles, and though three score of
the glittering barrels were leveled directly
at the mill men as the boat neared the
land, not a man retreated,but rather press
ed closer to the shore in order to be the
first to fall if necessary. The din was
terrific as the lusty-lunged mill men vent
ed their rage upon the intruders. "Don't
come en land or we'll brain you, you dirty
black guards!" they yelled. "Why don't
you work for your living like decent men!'
they howled.
Not a word answered the Pinkertons,
but as the boat touched the shore and a
gang plank was thrown out, every Pink
erton covered as many men as possible
with his Winchester. Kage had now
transformed the usually pracitic Home
stead men into demons. They knew uo
fear, but even jumed forward to wrest the
rifles from the bands of their hated
enemies.
The last moment before the slaughter, as
seen by a reporter who was within 40 feet
of the barge, the crowd was surging down
ward against sis of the leading mill work
ers, who stood with their backs to the
Pinkertons, fairly under the muzzles of the
rifles, trying to keep the mill men back
from what seemed certain death. Clear as
a bell, far above the roar of the angry
crowd, came tha voice of Hugh O'Donnell.
as, hatless and coatless, he tried to check
the angry men. "In God's name," he
cried, "my good fellows, keep back! Don't
press down and force them to do murder
It was too late, the last word of the
peace-maker's appeal was drowned by the
sharp report of a Winchester from a ma.i
in the bow of the boat. The first ball hac
hardly left the smoking barrel on it
mission of death ere it was followed by ;
sheet of flame from a score of rifles in thi
Pinkerton's hands. William Foy, win
stood at the front with bis foot on thi
gang plank, staggered and fell, bis lilu
blood gashing oat.
For a moment the vast crowd was strncl
dumb by the attack. Only the groans o
several wounded meu were heard. Ihi
echoes of the rifles had hardly reached th.
neighboring hills ere the crowed replied
Out from the semi-darkness nfthe morninj
flashed a wall of fire. The men on th.
bank, too, had arms, and were mdng thorn
The leader of the Pinkertons clapped hi;
hand to his breast and fell, while severa
sther Pinkertons staggered back and wer.
'arried inside the boat by their comrades
At tho first flash of the Pinkertons
■ifles many of the crowd took to theii
leels, but close to tho water's edge stoot
ibout 200 of the angry men, firing then
evolvors straight at the Pinkertons. Soor
he latter, vnable to withstand such fire
■etreated into tlieir cabin and fired froa
inder cover as quickly as possible. Wher
ho men on shore had emptied their re
rolvers. they retreated up the bank
jreeting every shot from their enemies
rith a defiant cheer.
It is remarkable that among that vasl
ot of Homestead men not a gun was seen,
>ut after the first attack messengers flew
vildly to the town and in a quarter ol ac
lour, armed with rifles, shot-guns,musketi
ind everything in the line of firearms, they
cere hurrying again to the scene of battle
The Pinkertons kept rather close undei
wver, but when the mill men came down
,o the water and asked for a conference
,ne was readily given them. The spokes
nen of tho Pinkertons eaid they didn t in
end working, and a voice from the crow.]
inswered: "You fellows wouldn't work;
ts against your principles." This evident
y ended the conference, as the speakei
shouted: "Yon fellows have been blowing
;hrough tho newspapers what you were
<oing to do, and in 15 minntcs wc will
nake a landing and clean tho grounds in
ihort order."
This, of course was greeted with a de
iant cheer on the part of the mill men.
3ne old gray haired man shouted to thi
Pinkertons: "Onr boys have just whipped
jrou and we can do it again. If you want
to fight we'll send the women down, u
pou'ro afraid to light men.
Nothing further was done by the Pink
ertons until after they had eaten breakfast
jn tho boat, when, at 8.30, they made
mother attempt to land on the company *
grounds, but were again repulsed.
In this attack Ilrnry Straigle and John
Morris, two well known )Touiestead men,
were shot dead, while several of the Pink
Brtous fell and were hustled out ot signl
by their follows. The mill men now tool
their position on top of the bank, whilt
skilled marksmen were placed at ever}
sheltered point and with their long-rangt
rifles proceeded to shoot down every Pink
erton they could sec.
Though there wero fewer rifle shot
during the afternoon, and no one was kill
ed by tho Pinkertons, it was scarcely ales>
exciting time than the morning. Ilu
crowds about the railroads, tho yards o
the works and the river bank increased
the greatest expitewent prevailed and tht
most inflammatory utterances Vere hear"
The universal demand was re.euge tor tut
death of the men slain in the morning
The Pinkertons were ready to capituiatt
by noon, but tho ejpited Homestead met
wanted nothing less than thejr lives
Three times they showed a white Hag
their supposed object being to surrende:
and gut yqt of town As often was th<
flag riddled with bullets or shot off th.
stick on which it wa» upheld, from tin
Hh °They havo killed our comrades! Lc
n. Wo their lives;!', was an expressioi
Ttrnrrr — » c- —
ol the water!" "Set tho-r boats on tin
and burn the thugs alive! ' and "They ar.
murderers ! Xo quarter,' wero cries echo
ed cwywere. and the 2,000 or more mer
who by 2 o'clock had possession of th.
mill yards were disposed to act upon th.
sentiments. , .
It was safe to walk through the yard;
at that hour, for the men in tho barges hat
ceased U show fight, and if over a Pinker
ton man pray a J-hpy were propably cower
ing in the bottom of their -raft, lnvofcwf
divine assistance to deliver th-m .ron
what seemed like a most certain and nios
horrible death. ... ,
On the right bank of the river abovt
them was a cannon which over and anoi
vomited a shower of slugs and missiles up
on the iron roofs a? the barges which alon.
protected them from destruction. Anoth
er cannon was planted on the Hrat«doi;l
side of tho river and seemed th.e more pow
erful of the two threatening engines o
death, for its volleys of slugs, were heaviei
and the aim of the amateur gunners 11
charge of it was better. How uscy mer
were dead inside the two barges it was im
possible to tell, but no one seemed ti
donbt that tie work ( >i tho riflemen hat,
been most deadly. li*t the unljroen expe
rienced no relief in the burning desire toi
revenge, au.l the most diabolical ingenuity
and the most untiring energy were exert
ed in tho direction of bringing the misery
which all knew to bo hidden behind and
beneath the sides and tops of tho lowlying
barges to a 2&eiy o f bloody end. Min
chesters, shotguns and muskets continued
to spit spitefully toward tho low erati, an
answering shot coming at tho rarest inter
vaU and the cannon were loaded and dis
charged yith unceasing regularity. The
supply of ammunition possessed by the
Homestead men is cifciwe.d to be inex
haustable. They had powder w shelh iu
abundance, plenty of gnus, with more in
easy reach, and a supply of dynamite to
fall back upon as a last resource. The
combined use of dynamite and oil wa* be
ing considered and prepared for when the
arrival of President William SVe.ho nail
his assistants averted death from probably
nearly 300 men. ....
The firing of oil tanks hail beeu tried in
the morning in the hops that the blazing
fluid would run down into the river and
destroy tho barges with their human
freight. The plan failed and the meu who
framed it thereupon proved themselves
most fertilo in ideas of destruction. It was
decided that they should tleluge the barges
with oil, and then by means of dynamite
cartridges or in/lamniablowaste shot from
the cannon, set them on fire. The Pink
ertons must then perish miserably by
drowning or fire, or come out on the bunk
to be shot down, as tho men say their
comrades wer#. There were plenty of
facilities at hand to put this into operation.
Near the river were two tanks partly filled
with oil, and the mill buildings near at
hand were stored with barrels of it for use
in the machine shops or for filling the
huge tank in which great masses of steel
are tempered. The volunteer fire appara
ratus of Homestead was procured, connec
tions weio made with tho tanks, lines of
hose were run out as far as possible with
out exposing their manipulators to abso
lutely certain death, if tho Pinkertons
chose to bring their rifles again into play.
Streams of oil were soon running upon or
dangerously near tho barges.
The arrival of Amalgamated aflicials at
this moment changed everything, and the
Bag of truce of the detectives was recog
nized and they were allowed to surrender.
The/ were forced to march about a mile
from the barges to the building and on the
way ran as awful a gauutlet as ever sav
ige races forced tfcfir victims 1.. pass
.hrough.
Hundreds of men aruieij wMh club** wen;
Rationed along the line a"d the appear
knee of a l'iukertoii was the signal lor
icores of blows upon his defenseless head.
Even the women assisted, throwing rocks,
lust, etc. This work was tint done by
he strikers, it is said, but by the roughs of
he town. The pinkertons were shipped
o Pittsburg that night and placed in ln>s
litals and iu a day or two were sent to
heir homes in Chicago, Philadelphia and
few York.
Thus the strikers won at every point in
he first great battlo between the forces.
On Sunday, Gov. pattison, in response
to a call from Shoritl McCloary ot A lie
ghetiy county, ordered the entire National
Guard of the State, which consists ot
eleven regiments, three troops ol cavalry
and three batteries, und numbers in all
over 8000 men, to move to the support ot
the Sheriff in preserving the peace ftt
Homestead. „ . .
The correspondence between the ntticiais
was as follows:
Pittsbcko, Pa., July 10.
To Robert E. Pattison, Governor, Harris
burg, Pa.
The situation at Homestead ha.- not im
proved. While all is quiet there, the
strikers are in control and openly express
to ire and to the public their determina
tion that the works shall not be operated
unless by themselves. After making a 1
eCorts in my power, 1 have failed to se
cure apo sc respectable enough in num
be s to accomplish anything, and I am sat
islied that no po»e raised by civil authori
ty can do anything to change the cond
t'on of affairs, ami that any attempt by an
inadequate loree to restore the right of
law will only resnlt in further armed re
sistancc and consequent loss oflife. Only
a large military torce will enable me to
control matters. I believe if such force is
sens the disorderly element will be over
awed and order will be restored. I. there
fore, call upon yon to furnish me such as
sistance. _ „ ~, ....

and a large crowd of their relatives and
their friends kept them c impany.
At 8:15 they were off for Homestead by
way of Blairsville, at which point their
train was run upon the main line of the
P. R. R., and headed west.
At Kadebaugh|station,which is about two
miles west oj they found other
train loads ol soldiers waiting,and they all
waited there till 7 A. M., when all the
trains moved west to Brinton station on
the I'. It. R. where they left the main line
and entered the short road connecting the
P. R. R and the P. V. & C, and which
crosses tho Monongaliela at Port. Perry.
At Munhall station on tho P. V. A C.,

tho town were placed in position there,ami
also on tho hill on tho opposite side of the
river: and a whole battalion was assigned
to patrol the town. .
