morning until 5 oclock this afternoon
and only ceased When the force of
Pinkertons bought to tho place to
suppress the strike unconditionally
surrendered leaving their arms in

place two model narges had been pre

were filled with bucks cooking ar

which they were subjected today were

duty along tne river got word of the
threatened invasion of the listed Pink
erton men and prepared to receive

an effort was made to land the detect

fierce battle was precinitated both
Arthur Helps estimated that they cost sides exchanging heavy volleys
The
detectives were all armed with Win
chesters but at the point where the

SeTea of the force were ihus cared
tor while the ilrikeis that fell wound
ed w erc carried to their homes at
Homestead the dead being carried to
aa undertaking establishment As
soon as the day broke the strikers
secured a small brass 10pound cannon
and planted it within a steei billet
to command the
the bank ot the
river At the same time a force of
more than a thousand men took up a
position on the opposite side of the
river and also placed a cannon there
which they also protected by a
brestwork of railroad ties Shortly
bofore 8 ociock the cannon was turned
os the boats and for several hours an
awful bombardment was kept up
Many of the strikers wero expert
shooters and they sent their bul
lets through the hole in the
side of the boat inflicted terrible
injury to the impri ioncd men
When it was found that little impres
sioncould be made by the cannon on
the boats an effort was made to fire
the targes and thns compel the de
tectives to leave the vessel or su er
the terriole fate of being burned a ive
Hose was procured and oil sprayed on
the decks and sides of the barges
While this was being done oirrel
after barrel of oil was being emptied
into he river above the mooring
place the object being to allow it to
float against the boats and then ig
nite This terrible thing wai at
tempted several times but the boats
did not burn and tnen the mob be
came infuriated and hurled dynamite
bombs at the vends with great effect
The situation of the detectives was
such as to appall the stoutest heart
The men that had not eft the barges
were cooped and at tho mercy of an
infuriated mob The tow boat had
left them and they were soon so com
passed by the maddened army of
etrikers that no succor could roach
tbem lhree limes they ran up a
flag of truce but as many times it was
stricken 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 con
tinue the fight and for nearly two
hours beforo the end of the struggle
was reached not a shot was fired At
5 oclock the Pmkerton men hung out
another white flag and this time it
was respected and a committee of
striker went aboard to prepare terms
of capitulation Tney guaranteed
safe conduct to the Pinkertons pro
vided they left their arms and ammu

showed signs of exhaustion from their
long confinement in close quarters be

and dastardly deeds however were
committed while the prisoners were
being escorted through the streets
escorted by tho guards appointed by
the strikers An angry mob lined the
street on both sides As the men
passed by each in charge of two dep
uties the mill men and their friends
kicked them and threw some of them
down Tho unfortunate detectives
begged for mercy Some of th m had
pistol shot wounds in their hcaas and
thrco had their eyes shot out Sev

Une of them hud hi eyes punched out
by an urnorella in the hands of a
woman band was thrown in their
eyes and they were hit by clubs and
missels Many were knocked down
with clubs and tramped upon and
somo were too weak to walk when they
were started for the town hall Tne
mill men tsed slocks of rifles and
struck iho detectives over the bead

in some cases perhaps fatal wounds

Thousands however gathered
around tho ouitding and the wounded
men were kept almostin constant ter

ocen released from the barges the
rioters had thtir revenge They
carried oil into the holds poured it
over the bedding and furniture and
then set it on fire first securing them
so that they could not float down the

the politicians were conspicuously ab

place to open declarations andthe
politics of this convention was on jthe
surface and plainly manifest in crery
demonstration that their reason of

Viko all primitive people the
Maories are very inquisitive and in
tho manner of children aro inclined
to bring everything to their mouths to
test its qualities In the early days
a party of Maories came across sotre
bars of soap which hud been washed
ashore from a wreck Finditg that
the stuff was too sticky to b eaten
raw they resolved to cook t Ac
cordingly thoy cut it up into small
pieces and sprinkled these jiiece
over the sweet potatoes and Ish
which formed their evening moaL
Finally they covered tho whole mass
over with fern leaves and mats and
putting earth on the top loft every
thing to bake quietly in tho ovens till
tho ovening The scene at that evon
ing meal must have been very funny
Not only did the tribe havo to go sup
porters to bed but the wholo 60t ot
ovens was spoiled and new ones had
to be constructed before any further
cooking could be done Argonaut
