Fires had been maintained in the furnace for forty-eight hours, and it was heated to 1,800 degrees. It. took two hours fer the body to be consumed. The ashes were then gathered up and taken into the open fields. and scattered to the four to four winds, so thut no man should know where they had gone. What would have happened if any man had known where they were gene, we are not t01d9 proved incorrect, some step taken which is seen to have been unwise, something done thoughtlessly which second thought shows to have been wrongâ€"there is a strange unwillingness to avow the error. People will enter into long explanations. make excuses. allege reasons, set forth argu- ments to vindicate themselves, or, at least, plead all the extenuating circum- stances: will do anything, in fact, except utter the simple and true words, “ I was mistaken.” Many, doubtless, resist the conviction within their own minds that they have been in error, and persuade themselves, by specious arguments, that they were right; but many more too clear- sighted for this illusion, are equally un- willing to acknowledge to others what they can not help confessing to themselves. Knowing: that they have been in error, they will yet resort to almost any other course than that of frankly saying so. “ Many years ago," says a writer in the Golden Censer, “a minister who had been preaching in a village was returning home, when he was stopped by a highwayman, who presented a pistol and demanded his money. The minister allowed him to take his watch and money, and the thief, feel- ing some papers in his pocket, took them also away With him, saying, that for any- thing he knew, there might be bank notes among them. These papers were. how- ever, mauuscript sermons, written out at length in a fair and legible hand. Some months afterwards, a respectable man called upon the same minister, recalled to his recollection the robbery, stated that he was the robber, restored the watch and a sum of money equivalent to which he had taken away, and stated that the cause of his making restitution was, upon look- ing over the papers, he found a sermon with the words, “Thou shalt not steal.” The singularity of this circumstance in- duced him to read it .; and the impression produced upon him by its warnings was so powerful that be abandoned his profli- gate course, became an altered man, de- voted himself to honest labor, and took the earliest opportunity of restoring the property he had stolen. It is difficult to account for the almost universal dislike manifested to acknow- ledge mistakes. In a general way, every one knows that he makes them, and free- ly admits the fact. It is indeed. merely admitting that he is fallible, which is a truism that no sane person would dream 0f denying. But when it comes to some particular caseâ€"some notion held that has _ nL-..

DRIVEN BACK TO THE BOATS by the steady fire from the shore. The noise of the battle spread about the borough like wildfire, and thousands of men, women and children thronged to the river bank to witness the fight in progress. The Pinkerton men were determined to land, and they poured volley after volley into the ranks of the strikers. many of parted what was done'with his body. The momentous question for him at that time was as to how he stood before God : whether as the godly who. when "the house of this tabernacle is dissolved, have a building of God eternale in the heavens.” (II. Cor. 5 : 1); or as the ungodly, who are “as stubble before the wind and as the chaff that the storm carrieth away.” (Job 21 : 18.) The, barges were of the best build and were used in shipping iron rails down the river from the Carnegie mill at Braddock. The holds we're filled up with bunks, cook- arrangements and other accomodations, and as an extra precaution, as if in pre- paration for the seige to which they were subjected yesterday, were lined with heavy steel plates on the inside, while the whole back deck was protected in a similar manner. It was the intention that the men should reach the works about 3 o’clock yesterday morning, but the guards who were on duty along the river got word of the threatened invasion of the hated Pinkerton men. and prepared to receive them. The barges were towed up the river by a tcwboat. but long, before the Pinkerton men reached Homestead thousands of strikers had gathered on the banks of the river ready to give them a warm welcome. When the boats attemp- ted to land the workmen broke through the fence surrounding the mill, and en- trench themselves behind piles of steel billets, prepared to resist the landing of the detectives. By four o’clock in the morn- ing an efiort was made to land the detec- tives, but the strikers met them and a fierce battle was precipitated, both sides exchanging a heavy volley of shots. The detectives were all armed with Winches- ter rifles, but at the point where the at- tempt to land was made, therewas a steep embankment and they were compelled to go in single file and were soon An interesting natural curiosity was discovered a few days ago in Missouri. A correspondent of the New York Herald at Ironton, Mo., reports that while hunting,r with a party of friends on the mountains about five miles away from that city, they sat down under the shadow of a large bowlder to eat lunch. They laid their guns on a flat rock near them, and had no sooner done so than they were surprised to see the weapons slide toward the bowlder. The guns were drawn to the bowlder and there stuck with such force that it was difficult to to take them away from it. On investigation it was discover- ed that the bowlder was an immense magnet and with such power that it attrac- ted pieces of iron and steel from a distance of many feet. The party made several experiments to test its power. One was that of holding a piece of soft iron four feet from the ground and four feet from the bowlder. When released, instead of falling to the earth, it flew to the bowlder, “thus proving,” says the correspondent, “that the magnetic influence was stronger than the attraction of gravitation.” But, as every one knows, it would be stronger only over certain substances. A piece of wood or a stone, would have obeyed the attraction of gravitation and the loadstcne would have had no power over it. The same law applies in the spiritual world. Some natures feel no attraction but that of the World and worldly objects, while Others yield to the power of Christ which draws them away from the world to himself. But to all who seek it, he im- parts the responsive power which they do not naturally possess. (John 6: 65') PITTSBURG, Pa., July 7-â€"The riot yesterday was the culmination of the troubles which have been brewing at Homestead for the past month, Y esâ€" terday the Carnegie Company announc- ed their intention to proceed to get ready to make repairs and the officials asked the sheriff to appoint deputies to protect their property. The sheriff sent a. small squad of men up to the works, but the strikers assembled in force and notified them to get out of town, as no disorder was intended and no damage would be done to any property. They even offered to be sworn as deputies and to give bonds for the faithful] performance of their duties as conservators of the peace. When this offer was declined, the advisory «committee, which had been directing the actions of the workmen, and which had held the turbulent spirits among the workmen in check, was immediately dissolved, and all the records of the committee were prompt- ly destroyed. The developments to-day showed that the application made for assistance of the sheriff was merely for the purpose of covering what was in- tended to be a. coup de main on the part of the Carnegie company in clan- destinely introducing a body of Pinker- ton detectives into the mill enclosure. The detectives had been rendezvoused some five or six miles below the city on the Ohio river, at which point two barges Eleven Strikers and Nine PinkertOn Men Meet Deathâ€"Many Injured Some Fatallyâ€"The Detectives Surrender.

THE WATCHMAN, L NBSAY, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1892 BESMEARED \VITH BLOOD while all of them showed signs of exaus- tion from the long confinement in the close quarters between decks. The most shock- ing and dastardly deeds, however, were committed while the prisoners were being pescorted through the streets with the l escort of guards appointed by the strikers. 1 An angry mob lined the streets on both 1sides. 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 unfortunate detec- tives begged for mercy. Some of them had pistol shot wounds in their heads and three Wurc seen that had their eyes shot out. Several were shot in the shoulders, arms and legs and could scarcely limp along. Blood was running in streams‘ down their shirts and they fairly yelled? with pain. Fully 30 injured men were taken to the Town hall. One of them had his eye punched out by an umbrella in the hands of a Woman. Sand was thrown in their eyes and they were hit with clubs and other missiles. Many Were knocked down and trampled upon, and some were whom were striken down by the bullets, some of them being fatally injured and others killed outright. As the battle pro- 1 gressed, the strikers took up a position behind breastworks hastily constructed of steel rails and billets, and from this place of safe refuge were able to pick ofi the de- tectives as soon as they appeared on the deck of the boats. In the meantime Cart. Hynd and Superintendent Kliene‘ of the Pinkerton men, were disable, andthe fire was so fierce that the crew of the tow boat hastily cut loose trom the barge and steamed up the river, carrying as .nany of the wounded as they could reach to Brid- dock, from which point they we'e sznt down to the hospitals for treatment at Pittsburg. Seven of the force were t'ius cared for, while the strikers tlat fell wounded were carried to their homes at Homstead, the dead being: taken to the morgue and undertaking rooms in the town. The news of the riot reached Pittsburg as early as 6 o’clock in the morning. and but this was not secured without the greatest objection on the part of the men, many of whom have lost friends and acquaintances during the day. Besides, as in all outbreaks, there are thousands of turbulent characters attracted to the place, and as they owned no allegiance to any organization, they could not be controlled. They wanted to see the carnage go on, and it was not until some of the strikers pointed their guns at the outsiders that they desisted. At 5 p. m. another white flag was hung; out, and this time it was respected, and a committee of strikers went aboard to prepare terms of capitula- tion. They guaranteed safe conduct for the Pinkerton men provided they left their arms and ammunation behind, and agreed to leave the place under guard. The detectives had no alternative, and promptly accepted the terms, some of the men sayingr it was the first time they had ever submitted to such a humiliation and surrender. When an inspection of the boats was made it was found that at least seven of the Pmkerton men had been killed and twenty or thirty wounded, many so badly that they wi‘l die: As they were brought from the boat they presented a terrible appearance. Many were BEING BURNED ALIVE. Hose was procured and oil was spouted on the decks and sides of the barges. While this was being done barrel after barrel of oil was emptied into the river above the mooring place, the object being to allow it to float against the barges and then ignite it. This terrible deed was attempted several times, but the boats did not burn. and then the mob became infuriated and hurled dynamite bombs at the vessels with great effect. The situ- ation of the detectives was such as to appal the stoutest heart. They had been left cooped up in the barges at the mercy of the infuriated mob. The tow boat had left them and they were so encompassed by the maddened army of srrikers that no succor could reach them. Three times they ran up the flag of truce, but as many times it was striken down by bullets fired by the strikers. Then it became evident that the ammunition of the besieged detectives was either exhausted or they were too much worn out to continue the fight and for nearly two hours before the end of the struggle was reached, not a shot was fired. Towards dusk efforts were again made to burn the boats with their living freight. and they would doubt- less have succeeded had it not been for the interposition of the leading officers of the Amalgamation Association, who went to the scene of the war in the after- noon. Through their efi'orts it was agreed to allow on the inside prevented the balls from penetrating, the interior. Many of the strikers, however, were expert marksnen, and they sent shot after shot into the port-holes in the boats and infl'nted terrible injury to the imprisoned men. When it was found that little impression could be made by the cannon on the boats, an effort Was made to fire the barges and thus compel the detectives to leave the vessel or suffer the terrible fate of THOUSANLS 0F MILL-\VORKEIS, all of Whom are now idle pending the 30n- ference on the scale, congregated in the streets, while hundreds of ethers, amed with guns and revolvers and wellsupglied with ammunition, took up the tide of march to reinforce the strikers. As aoon as day broke the strikers securec~ a small brass ten-pound cannon, and plantei it within a steel billet embrasure so as to command the barges which were moored at the bank of the river. At the sune time a force of more than a thousand nen took up a position on the opposite side of the river. and also planted a. camon, which they protected with a breast vork of railroad ties. The fire from both sides was kept up, the barges being pie'ced along the sides. Shortly before 9 o’clock the cannons were trained on the bmts, and for several hours an awful bombard- ment was kept up. The stout oaken timbers forming the sides of the bats were splintered. but the heavy steel phtes THE DETECTIVES TO SURRENDER, too weak to walk when they were started for the Town hall. The mill men used the stocks of their rifles and struck the detectives over the heads and shoulders, inflicting serious and in some cases, per- haps, fatal injuries. As the procession reached the Amalgamated association building, the detectives had to remove their hats and salute them. When they removed their hats men and women hit them with umbrellas and sticks and abus- e'd them in every way imaginable. There seemed to be adetermination and it was with the greatest difficulty that the demon-like crowd could be restrained. The men wére finally lodged in the Opera House, where they are kept for the night. After the prisoners had been removed from the barges the rioters had their re- venge. They carried oil into the holds, and poured it over the bedding and furni- ture and then set it on fire , first secur- ing the barges so that the}7 could not float down the river and cause damage to parts below. When the flames broke through the decks the cheers which rent the air were deafening and the noise could be heard miles aWay. The hills on either side of the river were literally crowned with people, who could witness from this high point all that transpired on the battle field, and be out of range of the deadly bullets. The day is one that will be remembered with 11 error by the people of the borough as well as citizens of the entire county, who for the second time will be called upon to pay the enormous amounts of money entailed in the riot losses.
