The Methodist College, Ma­ sonic Hall, and Orange Hall were among the first to be burned to the ground and Ihe Government buildings, containing Ihe public records and the archives of Parliament, soon followed. Over 8«iQ houses were destroyed. The dfcy had one of the most excellent water •yeteins on the face of the earth, but It proved powerless to stem the awful inarch of the fire-fiend. Firemen fell exhaust ed.citizens who volunteered were taken away fainting to keep from being Crushed to death by falling buildings, while others were powerless to save even contents of their homes.

The Pltakertons were sent down from Pittsburg to protect the Carnegie steel works, which were re­ cently partly closed down, throw­ ing 15,000 workmen out of em­ ployment. Fruitless efforts had been made to settle differences between the management aAl the workmen. No vi­ olence had been attempted to property, but the works were surounded by stock­ ades and guarded by armed men. Work­ men persisted in visiting those remain­ ing at work, and the Pinkertons V'ero sent down. Then ensued the trouble, The Pinkertons began firing before the boat and barges on which they came had tied"njp. Thousands of the work­ men were armed, and returned the fire with such effect that the officers retreat­ ed to the boat and barges. The work­ men then succeeded in separating the 6teamer from the barges, poured oil on the river and fired ii. Jinny Finkeiion men perished. Cannon w*r« used by thi workmen with fearful effect. Gov. Pat- tison has ordered several regiments of State troops to the scene. LATE Homestead; Pa., dispatches say j the situation is very like that of several thousand terriers watching for several thousand rats to appear. There is slim prospect from pr» sent indications of the "rats," or Pinkerton men, who are re­ ferred to as rodents, giving the terriers an opportunity U> us© their 'tings again. The neit enemy to combat will be the regular State militia, and the 4,000 Car­ negie strikers and their 4,000 friends, who made up Ihe resisting and victorious force, say they aire ready for them and that they will give battle to any and all opponents. The strikers" at present have everything their own way. A body of determined men surround the mill and challenge the approach of every man who ventures too close to an imag­ inary "death line," a hundred yards away from the mill fences. Three thous­ and men are distributed all over the town, and so carefully are these lookouts deployed that not a soul can enter or leave the town without givine an ac­ count of himself. The prolonged and desperate battle between the Pinkerton men on the two barges and the locked- out employes ended, after a contest of fourteen hours, in the unconditional sur­ render of the Pinkerton men. At five o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the assault, while bombs and lighted waste were being thrown on the barge, a Pinkerton man appeared0 on t^e deck and waved a white handkerchief. This was the signal for the surrender, and Jack Clifford, a heat­ er's helper, rushed on board and tried to to keep the workmen off. He was pow­ erless to do so, and the cheering work­ men, with guns in hand, rushed on board. Then the landing of the van­ quished commenced. It lasted over an hour. They came ashore singly and in parties, and as they reached the top of the bank they were pounced upon by the crowd, beaten with clubs and rifle butts, kicked and knocked down and trampled upon. It was a horrible sight for ' the non- combatants. An angry mob lined the street on both sid^p. As the men passed by. each in charge of two deputies, the mill men and their friends kicked them and threw some of them down. The Pinkertons begged for mercy. Some of them had pistol shot wounds in their heads and three were seen who had their eyes shot out. Several were shot in the shoulders, arms, and logs, and could scarcely limp along. They were finally locked in the Opera House, and the wounded attended to. . %*ewied betwoaa a I discharged, sending the ball through Benaer then ran up stairs WESTERN.

THE east-bound Wells-Fargo express train No. 14, of the Chicago and Erie Road, carrying express matter exclus­ ively, was wrecked Thursday night near Decatur, lnd. Cross-ties had been placed on the track lor the purpose of wrecking 1he train to rob it. The train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour through the cranberry marsh, where there is adense growth of bushes. When Engineer Foley sighted tho ob­ struction on the track ahead he reversed his engine and jumped and escaped in­ jury. F;^e passengers were injured. The enpine struck the ties and went plowing into the ditch, followed by ten cars, all loaded with valuable express goods.. The packages and boxes were scattered over the track and through the wreckage. Conductor Straden, the train men, and express messengers, who were not badly injured, gathered up the stuff and succeeded in saving nearly the whole of it. Two weeks ago ties were found on the track near the same point, but they were removed before any damage was done. The railroad company and the Wells-Fargo officials will take immediate steps to apprehend the guilty parties. A CHICAGO dispatch says; The Board of Directors of the World's Fair re­ cently gave to a body of men known as the Henry Syndicate a contract en­ titling them to the exclusive privilege of parrying passengers by boat from the city of Chicago to the Fair grounds. In Sursuance of this step they induced layor Washt»urne to Issue an ' order directing owners of boats out­ side the syndicate to vacate the Yan Buren street piers. There Was a rtot on the lake front at the foot of Vau Buren Street Tuesday, when four com­ panies of police in command of Assist­ ant Chief Hubbard attempted to clear the landings of the pleasure boats, in puruanee of the order from the Mayor. Several people were injured and the crew of the Kosaline, excepting the cap­ tain, was placed under arrest after a bitter tight. That there was no loss of life is due c#tly to the presence of mind of the commanding police officer, who ordered that no revolvers be drawn un­ less it was necessary to save the lives of others by firing upon the fighling tars. The boats are not yet withdrawn. Pop­ ular opinion is in their favor. THE Peary relief expedition Balled from St. Johns, N. F., Tuesday morning on I the steamship Kite.

AT Toronto, Onti, some 300 China­ men have arrived from British Columbia during the last few weeks, and it is sup­ posed they find their way into the United States. No Toronto Chinaman yet discovered will confess to a knowl­ edge of English sufficient to name their destination. They generally arrive in batches of four or five, but sometimes as many as ten or fifteen come in one train. They stay around the Chinese laundries for a dtgr or two and then mysteriously disappear. A NUMBER of Minneapolis millers who are at Washington express the opinion that there will be a decrease in this year's wheat crop of from 100,000,000 to U0,000,000 bushels. Charles S. Pills- lury was unwilling to give any numeri­ cal estimate of the decrease, but he be-' lieved thfct the decrease woifftl bo marked, and declared that it was un­ reasonable to expect so large a crop as last year. In North Dakota alone, ho says, the yield will be 20 per cent, lighter. He attributes the decreaee to the wet weather which prevailed during the seeding. Others in the party went as far as Pillsbury, while some declared that the crop would not, according to careful estimates, be over 400,000,000 bushels. The crop of last year was 612,OCO.OOO bushels.

Th < at­ tempt was resisted by tho locked-out men, and a I a tie with guns ensued, in which thirty-eight men are reported to have been killed and many more in­ jured. Three hiindred Finkerton men armed With Winchesters were brought from M,!/jSvasPf rj ANDREW CAUKEGIE. Pittsburg in barges in the light of the early morning. "The strikers had been advised of their co.ning, and had gath­ ered with their friends to the number of 5,000 on the landing when the barge ar­ rived.

It was all over so quickly that not until the boats returned to the shelter of the fog did the strikers realize tho damage done their fellows. Never more scintillating fire shot from the eyes of demons. Utterly reckless and frenzied the howitzers were ordered ready, and barrels of oil were loaded on a barge, to be fired and sent against the boats. Slowly the craft returned. The firing was renewed and returned from the boats, and again numbers of the strikers fell. Then came the grand coup of the Strikers. The gun on the little yacht Edna was turned against the craft and one on shore belched its fire upon its human freight. HluElni; OH Sent Down Mtream.

The men now have complete possession of the works, and unless Gov. Pattison Orders out troops they will continue in possession. First Victory for Strikers. The first battle .occurred about 4:3", when a force of about 300 Pinkerton men attempted to land at the Steel works. The strikers had been ap­ prised of their departure from Pitts­ burg, and for two hours before the boats Srrived between 0,000 and 6,0(!0 persons ^waited their coming on the river banks. The miUs have a landing for loats Within the inclosure of the fence,, And at first it appeared that there Would be no way to prevent the Pinker­ tons entering the mills. Shortly before the boats reached Homestead a horseman riding at full gallop spread the alarm that the Pinkertons were coming. As the boats steamed toward the landing it was impossible to longer restraiu the crowd. With a whoop and a yell of de­ rision an onslaught was made on the fence and 100 feet of the inclosure was torn away and 1,000 men were at the- WEATHER FORECASTS, WilA-F'^ioPHeT FQ£Tfei!"!*fei9 TO SAY.

Alter the first fusillade the boats withdrew from the shore, and desultory firing was kept up on both sides for sev­ eral hours. During this time the strik­ ers secured a cannon, and, planting it on the opposite side of the river, placed the guards between two fires. About 10 o'clock the men #n the barges made another attempt to land, and a desperate battle followed, in which rifles in the hands of the strikers and Pinkerton men and the cannon did terrible execution. While this fight was in progress the strikers poured oil Into the river above the barges and set It on fire. The boata were soon surrounded by flames, and caught fire in several places. The guards were unable to withstand this new element, and finally MARKET REPORTS. SOUTHERN. Gov.

Ti e Pinkertons are coming!" thouted a horseman riding at lightning speed as he dashed into Home­ stead at 1 o'clock in the morning and alarmed the leaders of the strikers at their headquarters. The secret signals, long ago planned and arranged, were set working and from both sides of the Monongahela River answering responses came. The story of the fall of Warsaw might be written again. "To arms to protect our homes!" cried 3,009 strikers and nearly as many men, women and 1 children. Slowly came the steamer Little Bill towing two model barges loaded with 350 Pinkerton coal and iron police, . Winchester rifles and an abun­ dance of ammunition. The scene c.n shore was thrilling. The thousands of people were assem­ bled on the bank of the river on the Homestead side. As the boat moved up the crowd followed. It arrived opposite the big Carnegie mills, passed up and then backed down toward the landing. Fearless stalwarts, used to hardship, knew that the vessels were approach­ ing shore. The dock was fenced in to the river's edge; the invaders must be stopped. One leader crieJ, "Follow me," and, rushing to a part of the fence back from the river, attacked It. In a twinkling a breach wAs made in "Fort Fr ck" and 2,500 people crowded through the prop­ erty down to the river and stood wait­ ing for the approaching boats. Before they penetrated the mist sevetal volleys were fired, not at the vessels, but as a warning. Presently the dark hulls showed through the white veil of fog and swung Into ihe landing. There was breathless silence. Like ants thousands of the sons of Vulcan swarmed the bank to the water's edge. Capt. Heinde, of the Pinkertons, raised a plank from the deck of the barge nearest the shore. One of his men also grasped the big board, and one end was shoved ashore. Then there was a shout as of Spartans at the Tiber. One man stepped on the plunk and went ashore. He was grabbed by the crowd aud was seen no more. Captain Heinde followed. He had taken one step on the plank when he fell with a shot in th1 leg. The mon behind him turned their Winchesters on the crowd and like a whirring of ^iiees were tho volleys which passed. •:,, Ywelity-ttafeo »liot.. • ( --•Five Pinkerton men fell, one fatally landing. As the Pinkertons landed they opened fire and two workmen dropped in their tracks.

The Situation.

Because of the magnitude of the works where the issue is made and of the tens of thousands who will b3 at once affected, the press of the country is devoting •special attention to the affair and its features are made clear enough to all. The Carnegie Steel Company offers to its employes a certain scale ot wages. The scale Offered is refused by the man­ agers of the Amalgamated Association, the great trade union organization to which the workers belong, and opera­ tions of the company are virtually sus­ pended. A fence surrounds the com­ pany's property an 1 in dde thi,si-* placed a guard of those whom the company re­ lies upon. In addition to this other barricades have been erected to resist the rioters. Meanwhile thousands of men, the workers who have rejected the scale of wage} offered, have occu­ pied the tountry about the mill3 and prevent all access to the property. iJflfiise* at tlie Steel A»ork*. About six weeks ago, in anticipation of the coming conflict between the Car­ negie interests and the workmen, a stout board fence twelve feet high was built upon a foundation of slag three feet high, completely surrounding the steelworks. This fence is three miles long. On the top are strung three strands Of barbed wire, so connected tha£ a current of electricity may be sent through them from the electric plant by the simple turning of a switch in 1 he office. Port­ holes four inches in diameter have been bored along this fence at tke height of a man's eye. Trenches have been dug over all parts of the works to various points along the fence where hydrants are stationed. Connections have been made so that either col l or boiling hot water can be sent through these pipes to the hydrants. An additional fence has been built about the office, and a bridge rorty feet high has been strung across the tracks, connecting the office with a building in- ^kl& ths yorks.

This storm will be at its greatest energy in the Upper Missouri Valley about the 17th atfa lbth. A wave of cooler and more pleasant weather, moving eastward, will cross the Western mountains about the 19th, the greal central vttiiejb u'uuui tuv 21bI, and the Eastern States about the 23d. Drouth conditions in large localities will continue in many parts of the Southern States, while In Northern sec­ tions and in countries of more thin 2,000 feet elevation, the weather will be more seasonable. Unususlly severe hurricanes may be expected in the West Indies and on the Gulf of Mexico during July and August, and while these hurricanes are on the Gulf we may expect ?uiden cool periods in the "fcTorthwoetern States.. < "v>> Loc>»l Forecasts.

In order to fcrm a 25 to 50 f0^ «0al vein from vegetation would require 200 to 400 feet of fallen vegetable decay. The vegetation from which geologists declare coal is derived grows In swamps where there is an abundance of water, but not sufficient to cover the vegetation entirely while it is growing. Thereiore, in order to produce even 240 feet of the coal-forming vegetation, ther surlace of the swamp water would necessarily have to gradually rise at least fifty feet, as the vegetable decay would accumulate, otherwise the vegetation would soon be h'gh and dry above the water, where it would not grow. It would riot do to say that this vege­ tation began to {.row and accumulate at the bottom of a lake fifty feet deep, gradually filling up the lake with the vegetable remains, for that class of vegetation will not grow in such a lake. Geologists say that hard coal is formed of soft coal by volcanic heat and great pressure. In this they are probably correct. Then the hard coal is formed by the heat and pressure driving" off the water and the lighter oils of the soft coal. In that case all the dirt, the in- combustlbles, the gravel, rock, pyrites of iron-, ote., would remain in the hard coal and we would have a greater pro­ portion to the ton of this dirt in hard than in soft coal. But every person who has used hard and soft coal knows that the proportion of ash or dirt In the hard coal is not more than one-half what it is in soft coal. This is positive evidence, irrefutable, that instead of coal being formed of vegetation in a swamp it fell as cos- mical dust. The heavier forms would settle quickly in deep water, and there­ fore we have the hard coal with but lit­ tle ash or dirt in it. The lighter forms would float longer, settle slower, reach the shallow waters near the shore, and contain more airt than the anthracite or hard coal. When our coal beds were deposited the Mississippi Valley was the shallow pari} of the seas, as the south end of Baffin's Bay now is the shallow part and near the shores, and the region of New York and Pennsylvania hard coal was in the deep sea. On this'line of thought nothing but harmony, is found, while on tho vegetable line of coal form­ ations all is chaos. Almost universally fire-clay is found under beds of coal, and instead of it be- nig a vegetable producing clay, it, as a rule, fell on vegetable growth, smother­ ing and killing it. In northern latitudes this clay Is found under great masses of carbonite, tho two deposits being in and covered with ^reat masses of solid glacier ice, with not a particle ot evi­ dence that any vegetation evci existed there. There are no abraded mountains near these deposits from which they could have betn carried by water. Prof. Vail says that this fire-clay under a carbonite deposit is found be­ tween massive beds of glacier ice, and being a geologist he declares that his brother geologists are utterly con­ founded as to where this clay and car­ bon cams from. The only reasonable inference is that this-fire-clay and car­ bon fell as the snow and was deposited on the glacier Ice. This will be further discussed hereafter. Sulphur and pyrites of iron are found in coal in large quantities. The iron is no, always between strata of coal, but is often found running in various directions through the coal veins. D:d vegetation produce these iron pyrites also? They are formed by a union of sulphur and iron, and which, both being minerals, must have had the same com­ mon origin a? the other minerals of the earth. Astronomers say that in the nebulous era of the earth there was a coming to­ gether of matter from space, and iron, sulphur, silver, gold, carbon and other minerals and metals must have been among the original materials that com­ pose the earth. If this sulphur and pyrites of iron necessarily were original materials, how came they in the coal if the latter was formed of vegetation? Astronomers are no doubt oorrect as to the matter of the earth being con­ densations from sparse, but they are probably in error as to the matter hav­ ing fallen together suddenly, and it is more reasonable that the carbon, sul- {)hur and iron fell to the earth together n later geological ages, and this I will •^endeavor to prove. ^ /•;* Copyrighted 1892, by W.

Oroenfl Outlook for Corn Xa Mot Out* In Fafar Shape. The Farmer's Review this week con* < tains the following: : CORN. ' V-- - • In Illinois the corn crop is in anything!^ but a desirable condition. * Out of th#; : alternate counties reporting, only ono gives the condition as good, all of the other correspondents giving either pool?"' or only fair. This fair means below «|*r average, and in some cases 25 per cent,, below. The outlook in Indiana is some* what better, nearly 45 per cent, of the|"j correspondents reporting the prospects n for the corn crop as good, the others porting fair, with the exception of about • one in seven, which report poor. Th#^ crop is behind on account of lateness iif^ planting, but is making up for it in rapit^f growth. In Ohio the outlook is a littl^j below that of Indiana, about one-fourtlf ^ of the correspondents reporting the ouJ.tA look for this crop as good. The others^ about equally report fair and poor. InfM Michigan the crop is making rapid growth, and in about half of the coun­ ties reporting is a full average or above. Of the remainder, two-thirds report fair, and one-third poor. The corn crop in Kentucky is in very fine condition, all of the correspondents except eight re­ porting fair and good, most of the coun­ ties being an average or above. In Mis­ sissippi aboutone in five report the pros­ pects as good,15 percent, report poor and the others fair. In Kansas and Ne­ braska the crop is reported as fair or good,_ with the exception of a very few counties, where the season has been particularly unfavorable. In Iowa 12 per cent, report the condition as good, 42 per cent, report fair, and 46 per cent, report poor. In Wisconsin the outlook is very unfavorable; two-thirds of the correspondents reporting it as poor, and in some cases less than half a crop. In Minnesota the "crop is in from fair to Eoor condition, while in the Dakotas alf of the correspondents report good and others fair to poor. SPRING WHEAT. Very little spring wheat has been sown in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, |Michi- gan, Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas, • but the little sown is generally In good condition. In Nebraska the outlook is fair. In Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas the crop is generally reported fair and good, in a great many counties being above an average. Tak­ ing the twelve States as a whole, about 92 per cent, of the correspondents give a favorable report. OATS. ' . The oat crop is in good^ shape over most of the country, all of the corre­ spondents, with the exception of about 15 per cent., giving a favorable report. In Illinois 43 per cent, rfeport the out­ look as a full average or above, 25 per cent, report it fair, and the rest poor. In Indiana the crop is in fair shape, with few exceptions. In Ohio about 70 per cent, report the outlook at from fair to above average. In Michi­ gan and Kentucky the outlook is good, but in Missouri nearly one-half report the outlook as poor to fair, the rest average or above. In Kansas one- half report the crop fair io good, others poor. Two-thirds in Nebraska report fair to good, the others poor. In Iowa one-fourth report the crop in poor con- . dition, the others report from fair to above average. The crop in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas is generally an average or above. ; • -4*3 V] WAS A PROSPEROUS YE All* f • -- Becord ot the Last Twelve Moritlis Never .Equaled.' B. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: A fiscal year never matched in the whole history of the country in volume of industrial production, in mag­ nitude of domestic exchanges, or in foreign trade has just closed. The im­ ports of the year have been about $833,000,000, the increase at New York in»June over last year being about 18.6 per cent. Exports from New York in June gained *15.4 per cent, and the aggregate for tho year has been about $1,027,000,000. Railroad earnings have been the largest in any year thus far, and clearings in June the larg­ est ever known in that mouth, exceed­ ing last year eight percent., and for the whole year the largest ever known out­ side of New York. Failures for the half year have been 5,£03, against 6,074 in 1891, and liabilities $02,000,100, against $92,000,000 and on the whole about the smallest for five years. In spite of low prices additional works are going into operation even in the iron manufacture, and yet more in woolen and cotton. Moreover, the crops ot this year promise to be very satisfactory, and the new half year begins with excellent prospects. On the Dlainon J.
