PiTTsni'HGH, Pa.. July 1.—The Home-

yesterday. There were 3,000 idle ton-

invited the mechanical department, day
laborers and watchmen to join them.
They expect the men will do so, and if
ho, the entire plant will be idle.
The firm discharged all the employes
at midnight and notified them t< report
for their pay at the office on Saturday.
Hy this action the Carnegies have
elearly forestalled the men and by
making it a lockout instead of a strike,
have placed them on the defensive. The
streets are crowded, but everything is
; quiet.
As predicted, the sheet iron manu-

D'clock yesterday afternoon the seven-
teenth annual convention of the Amal-
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers adjourned sine die, and the or-
ganization having approved the work
done by its representatives is ready to
stand or fall by the position now taken.
The real work begins from this day
on, and the doings of the next two
weeks will tell the tale.
At midnight the western iron and
steel scales of 1S01-N2 will cease to be
in existence, and all mills desiring to
continue work can only do so under the
scale of 1892-98.
The situation in a nutshell right on

threatening.
The iron manufacturers of this and
the Mahoning and Shenango valleys
are yet at loggerheads with the asso -i-

struck this city from the southwest,

flash of lightning. The air was < lose

heavens were almost covered and people
began to hurry toward places of safety.
Shortly after 1 o'clock a few persons
who were on the beach were panic
stricken, seeing a black cloud of dread-
ful funnel shape rushing across the
river in a southerly direction.
With almost incredible swiftness the
cyclone bore down on this city. 1 he
eloud did not approach with a direct
forward movement, but bounded from
the water like a gigantic football. The
path of the cyclone was about 400 feet
uVle and whenever it struck the water
it lashed it into foaming waves. Fort-
unately no ships were in the path of
the wind and it wasted its fury upon
the river. In the meanwhile the people
