18.—The
na
tional (,'uard took possuHsiou of tliu Carnetfie mills at 8:30 Tuesday morn'"f• 't was a peaceful surrender. Within an hour an uriny was cueampetl on the great slope overlooking the mills ami tho Monongahela. (luards and pickets were suattered alon^ the dusty roadways and the triumph of the military authorities was complete. Good order marked the arrival.
Hundreds of sullen and angry men •tood in their doorways and watched the rogimonts of armed men form in battle lines on the crest of the hill. Others gathered along the pike that skirts the great steel mills and cheered the companies as they marched by. It was the most Imposing and significant display of military strength ever made in Pennsylvania.
Th« HuyoueU Arrive.
Almost exactly at 8:30 r. long train puffed .slowly around the horseshoe bend and into tho siding. Shining guns and blue caps were sticking out the windows. On every platform was a sentinel with set bayonet. This train carried the Eighteenth regiment of Pittsburgh, a part of the Second brigade. Hefore it halted a train of two sleeping cars pulled in on another track. Uen. Snowden, division commander, with his entire stuff, in swords and gold braid, alighted to take a lmsty view of the situation. More trains came rolling in on the network ol tracks and in live minutes time companies were forming along the cinder paths and the air was full of sharp commands. Toward the town it could be seen that the news had already spread, for hundreds of people were gathering along Eighth avenue or hurrying toward the Munhill station, which is opposite the main entrance to the mills. Sheriff McCleary wa* with Gen. Snowden. Monday evening lie joined the troops at their rendezvous aud came with the commander to advise a plan of campaign.
Contrary to expectations the soldiers did not go to the mill gates. The Eighteenth, marching four abreast, turned to the left, and led the wuy up the bare hill iliat fronts the half-mile strip of the Carnegie mills. Across this hill two streets arc being cut in the shale and rock and they resemble trenches. The Eighteenth marched more than half way to the top and massed its men. Three companies had been left at the bottom.
Then came the Fifteenth, headed by life aud drum, the men with their gray slouch hats aud canvas leggms malting a picturesque and warlike appearance. Next marched the Sixteenth, another small army. Hy the time the Fifth regiment drew into the rear an immense strip of armed men reached up the incline almost a quarter of a mile.
Formed Line of lint tie.
Everything moved with the precision of clockwork. A scattering line of pickets wns put across the hill half way up and then the regiments quickly moved to the places assigued them*. They forinod in line of battle across the length of the slope. Col. \V. A. Kreps, of the Fifteenth regiment, was in command of tho hill forces. Col. Smith, of the Eighteenth, was second in rank. Their plans had been laid. No hesitation was shown.
Down the hill a hundred yards and occupying a terrace formed by the cutting out of a street was the Fifteenth regiment. Further down to the extreme right was massed the Fifth under Col. Uurchfield and to the left was the Sixteenth under Col. Willis J. Ilulings. There were 2,000 men on the hill and already far across the gleaming river could be seen the bayonets of the provisional brigade under Col. Hawkins, which was guarding the approaches to the l'emicky bridge and protecting the north shore of the Monongahela.
Tli» Town Awed and Sltmit. It was not strange that the town between these two armies was awed and quiet. No one expected a light, but every military precaution was taken. The engineer corps at once began observations and calculated the distances from the hill to tho mill yards and other surrounding points in case any tiring should be necessary. Col. Charles S. Green, a veteran of the division staff, was appointed provost marshal, and soon had his guards stationed out in every direction.
At tirst there was no attempt to keep visitors away from the lines and many of the Homestead men toiled up the hill to converse pleasantly with the resting soldiers and tell how glad they were to welcome the state authorities. The regiments had hardly ranged themselves along the high slope until a detachment consisting of three companies from the Eighteenth regiment and one from the Fifteenth, under command of Maj. Kay, marched along the front of the hill down into the town. Along the white fences of the mills and about the Amalgamated association headquarters l,arge numbers of the strikers were collected. They opened a way for the soldiers and cheered them loudly. The march down into the town and back was intended simply as an object lesson—a notification that the militia had arrived and was ready to preserve order.
No Time to Oct Out the Itiindii. In spite of the proclamation given out by the burgess Monday night the saloons were open and there was a dangerous amount of drinking. The great welcome which had been arranged 1)3' the advisory committee failed to materialize. The troops came without warning and there was no time to get out tlio brass bands.

"General," said he, touching his hat in an awkward manner, "we had arranged to givo you a formal reception, with music and a inarching delegation, but you aro in too early." "Mv coming early was intentional," replied the commander in chilly tones: '•the occasion does not call for any reception committee or bands. If there had not been a wreck :)0 miles east of Pittsburgh we would have been here at daylight. We arc under orders and could not take part in anv jollification."
tu ttilla ana even profound!?
Mr. Chain per saiil the hi ty merely wished to show that they respected the authority of tliu state and did not intend to oppose the governor's wishes, but Gen. Snowdon terminated the interview ljy proceeding to give some commands to his subordinates.
Later on the advisory committee representatives visited Gen. Snowden to inform him that that committee would cooperate with the troops 5n preserving order. They were received politely but coldly by the general, who said: "We do not need either cooperation or assistance from anybody. The only way in which we can accept cooperation is for every man to go peaceably about his business."
Will l.euitrH He .Arrested? Late in the afternoon it was reported that instead of immediately sending in new mill hands tho Carnegie companv would causc the arrest of ail men known to be connected with the I'inkerton fight. It was said that the sheriff and Deputy Gray, both of whom arrived with the militia, would make the arrests under the protection of the troops. This suspicion grew after the committee, led by Hugh O'Donnell, called at division headquarters and Gen. Snowden refused to permit any demonstration of welcome and told the men very plainly that they had been defying the law ever since the attack upon the Pinkertons.
Ililf llllli for the State lo ray. The Homestead expedition of the militia is an expensive undertaking and will cost the state a good round sum ol money. The national guard of Pennsylvania consists of 8,470 members, of which fully 8,000 have responded to the governor's call. Of these 000 are commissioned officers. It will cost the state about $••'.!,000 a day until the troops are recalled. This estimate is based on the cost of the annual encampment of the state militia.
Coȣr*ftNmeii Arrive.
PITTSIIUHGH. l'a., July 1H.—The congressional committee to investigate the Carnegie troubles reached this city Tuesday morning. After preliminary arrangements had been made the committee took a trip to Homestead to look over the ground. Oil returning a session was held and tho inquiry begun. It continued until after 10 o'clock, with Mr. Frick 'on tho stand the entire evening. His examination brought out many new features in the present trouble, notably the plan by which the I'inkerton men were cmployed and tho arrangements that were made for their transportation to the city. Mr. Frick detailed the negotiations with the men on the new'scale and the failure to agree. Hy this scale lie said only :i'J5 out of the entire 3,800 men were affected. The men presented a scale which In almost every instance called for an, advance. Mr. Frick stated that the proposed reductions were based on the dcclino in prices during the three years. Mr. Frick attributed tho continual decline to overproduction and the reduction iu the tariff. There had been a decrease, lie thought, in the importation of the articles upon which the men aro affected by the proposed new scale. He could not approximate the difference between the cost of labor per ton in Europe and here. Respecting the employment of the l'inkcrtons Mr. Frick said that past experience had proven that the sheriff was powerless to render protection, so the company concluded to hire its own watchmen, and at once concluded negotiations with the I'inkerton managers for 300 men, having felt that it would be necessary to protect the property and hire new workmen. The agreement was for the l'inkertons to have 300 guards assembled at Ashtabula, O., not later than .1 uly 5. In the meantime, in contemplation of trouble, a stockade was built around the wtfrks. The arms and uniforms of the men were shipped to this city by rail anil put on the barges here by Capt ltodgers. Then on July 4 a notice was served on Sheriff McCleary calling on him for protection. At this point the inquiry was adjourned until morning.

NKW YORK, July l:t.—.Something of a sensation was caused in America by the report, from ail apparently authoritative source, that William Waldorf Astor had died in London Monday afternoon. The story was a hoax, as the following telegram from I^ondon shows: "William Waldorf Astor is not dead, nor is he likely to die from his present illness. Ho passed a good night Monday night and ate a hearty breakfast. So much was learned by inquiries at Lausdowne house, tho Astor residence here. Mr. Henry White, seeretaiy tc the American legation, saw Mrs. W. W. Astor aud was informed that Mr. Astor was making rapid progress toward recovery. Mrs. Astor declared that her husband had never been in the slightest danger. Mr. Astor's physician confirms the state-1 inents that Mr. Astor's illness was not dangerous, and that he is recovering. The Astor family have become so annoyed and hurt by the persistent in-1 quiries that have been made of them by various persons that they refuse to make any further answers to questions regarding Mr. Astor's health.

A BOAT QOKB DOWN.
PEORIA. 111., July IU.—Tuesday evening was one of the prettiest ever seen, and the Illinois river and the little lake were fairly alive with boats of every description. At 10 o'clock a cyclone swept over the city, leaving death and destruction in its wake. The most serious and appalling disaster of the night was causcd by the capsizing of the pleasure steamer Frankic Folsom at the foot of Caroline street.
TIIOKV
Known to He Drowned.
The followiug is list of the unfortunates who aro known to have lost their lives by the swamping of the steamer. All wen? residents of IYliin, 111.: John Ahrcns, Mrs. Duesdecker and two unknown lady companions, Mrs. Fred Fisher, Miss Cora Fisher, Miss Mary Flath, Misses Anna Marv I'oebel, William Kipberger Mrs. William Wiles.
Word was conveyed to the police station, and Mayor Warner ordeied every man to the scene. The Rock Island road sent a special train to the scene of the disaster, and small boats were put off to the "Folsom. the hull of which could be seen when the lake was illuminated by the vivid lightning. Four persons wera taken off it by the first boat out.
Caught In tho Cabin.
It is known that there are over a dozen in the cabin of the ill-fated steamer. When the boat careened over every one rushed to the sinliing side tu escape the steam, aud many of them were washed overboard. One man savs he suw several women fastened dmvn under the wreck and they were cooked to death by the steam. Kvery time the boat careened some of the poor unfortunates clinging to the rails would release their bold and disappear in the v,-lives. Some persons who were out in small boats und managed to reach the shore say they saw several bodies floating on the water.
Some thrilling stories are. told by the men who have been brought off the boat. Samuel Sutton missed his wife when the eyclone struck tlie boat and he heard her calling for him as the cabin filled with water. He dived int the hole to what seemed certain death and managed to bring her to the surface. For an hour they clung to th rail and were both saved. William Hart also went into the cabin and brought up the unconscious form of his wife. It Is thought she will die.
Itodles Float A ay.
At 3 a. m. the storm is still so terrific that no search can be made, as small boats cannot be used in the rough water. There are eighteen dead in the Folsom according to the count just made. Only about one-half of these will be found in the cabin of the boat, for the others were swept off the rail into the river. Two bodies have been sighted floating through the lower bridge nearly 2 miles from the scene of the disaster. Whether these are from the Folsom or the bodies of persons from overturned boats cannot be stated. It is thought they are the latter. There is a large number of carriages at the wreck, und as fast as a party is brought ashore they are put in carriages and hurried away to where they can IK- clothed. Kvery one in the vicinity has thrown the houses open and the work of rescue is going rapidly on. The cries of those on the sinking hulk of the steamer urc growing weaker every minute, und those brought ashore say there are some whose strength will not last them until they can be taken off.
Many Kmall lloiit* Out.
When the storm struck the lake and river the water was covered with small row boats loaded with merrymakers. The fury of the gale lashed the water into foam, and the frail shells bobbed up and down in the heavy sea like corks. Most of the boatmen were inexperienced, and as soon ns the gale burst upon them they lost control of the boats, which were driven along before the wind. Many of the boats filled with water and were swamped, tbeir occupants having to take to the water and swim for the shore. Some of the bouts

At Lake View park, a mileabov city, a representation of I'oinpcii was given. For this occasion the Folstim, a I'ckin boat, came up with forty people. A landing was made here and two or three couples joined the party. Fifteen 1 others also got) on the boat at the park, I so that the passenger list reached fully sixty. As the boat came out of the landing and started down to I the city it was struck by the cy-' clone and turned over. It was about midway in the river and sank rapidly. 1 Oiving to the tempest the cries of the passengers could not be heard. The Longfellow with seventy-five passengers from Kingston passed by and ran to the foot of the next street. Its passengers were driven off and the boat made ready to go to the aid of the Folsom when the Kingston's wheels broke and it wus left helpless.

After the exhibition they pulled out. and when in the middle of tin* river the storm strueh them with all its furv. with scarcely :iMrriiof warning. He attempted to head the steamer toward tho nhore, and as lie did so a t«*rrilie ^ruM ol wind struck thee: aft and i! «vei in PI feet of wat-.r. Th,? scone which followed was terrible.
