(jigniilic Strike.
The great railroad strike, inaugura
ted by tlio firemen nud brukenieii of
the ItulUmore k Ohio Ilnilroixl, n few
days ago, has spread like wildfire un
til the employees of the main rail
roads of tho country besides hundreds
of miners nud other laborers have
Joined the strikers, the tramps,
thieves, and Vagabonds have still fur
ther swelled the number, until from a
railroad strike, it man now be called a
general uprising of the labor of the
country for more wages. In 1'alti
more the militia were ordered out and
several lives were lost.
The riot at Pittsburgh on Saturday
was.the most bloody, and the loss of
property greater than at any other
place. At 1:4.3 P. M. on tho day
above named six hundred Philadel
phia militia well armed and equipped.
and accompanied by two gatllng guns
arived at Pitsburch. to assist the
Pittsburgh militia and public in pre
serving order, and to prevent dcslruc
tion of property. E. V. Hnialley the
New- York Tribune correspondent
idves the following account under
date of 23d inst: "I was at first dis
posed, hearing the chorus of denun
ciation of the Philadelphia troops, to
think they were to blame- It seemed
as if they ought not to have fired on
the mob on Saturday, and on Sunday,
when the combat reopened, they
should have fought their way back to
the rmssensrer depot and defended it
from the incendiaries instead of re
treating to the country, but further in
formation leads to a different jud
meut. From the moment of their ar
rival these troops were made to feel
that they were in the midst of an in
tensely hostile population. Every
where they were hooted at. They
came as a matter of duty to protect
public and private property, and they
were treated like invading vandals.
Tho Pittsburgh troops gave them no
assistance, but evidently sympathized
with the rioters. When they moved
forward to disperse the mob they were
first fired upon and received besides a
volly of stones from the hillside
They only fired in reply by orders,
and, as soldiers, had to obey orders
without trusting their wisdom. The
fact that innocent persons mingling
with the mob as spectators were
killed does not offset the case, for
such is the result of all collisions be
tween mobs and soldiers executing
the law, and yet on this account there
arose a frantic cry for vengeance on
these men. It seemed as if the whole
city was crazy for their blood. They
were even denounced in the Sunday
papers, pandering to the passions o:
tho mob, as Philadelphia roughs,
when in fact they are among the finest
citif.en soldiery in the country and
have repeatedly proven their disci
pline and courage. The rioters closed
in upon them with cannon and small
arms, intent upon inassacreing every
man of thein. Not a hand was raised
in their behalf by the local military or
local police. No wonder that they
determined to leave the city to its fate.
1 have an account of their retreat from
an impartial eye-witness, by which it
appears they moved out of the city in
good order, covering carefully their
tiatling guns, marching with a slow
step and by command of their officers
refraining from firing on the mob that
was keeping up a desulatory fusilade
upon them until they got out of the
thickly-settled districts, where there
were no women and children. Then
they turned and gave their pursuers a
volley which put them to flight. In
this march they lost seven men
killed."
The burning of tl e Union depot at
Pittsburgh and the destruction of 12-3
first class locomotives which had been
boused in consequence of the strike
was au imeuseloss but atrille as com
pared with the aggregate of property
destroyed, we append an uccount of
the burning and robbing of tho depots
and freight ears :
Tho scenes transpiring on Liberty street,
along the line of which the track of t he rail
road run, simply beggar description. While
hundreds were engaged In firing the cars and
making certain of the destruction of the val
uable buildings at the outer depot, thousands
of men, women and children wero engaged
in pillaging the cuis. Men armed with heavy
sledges would break open the ears and then
the contents would be thrown out andearried
oU' by those bent on protiting by tho reign ol
terror reigning.
The slreetv. us almost completely blockaded
bv persons laboriug to carry ott'tho plunder
tlu-y had gathered together. In hundreds of
instances wagons were pressed into service
to enable the thieves to get away with their
goods, ftluyor M'Carty early in the day en
deavored to slop the pillage but tho haiullul
of men at his command were unable to con
trol the crowd, who were desperate- in their
anxiety to secure the goods. The pillugo was
checked, but the mob iired the ears and then
i. i-.u-.-n.li.il u ltli Mm work of destruction.
His Impossible to form any idea of the
amount of goods stolen, nut uuuureus 01
thousands of dollars will not cover the lots.
Home of the scenes, notwithstanding tho tei
,. .. u-Mi-h teemed to uaralvze Dcaccable and
orderly clti.ens,were ludicrous in the highest
degree, und uo one seemed to enjoy tlit-iu
w ith greater zest than those outraged in the
wholesule plunder. Her a brawny woman
could be geen hurrying away with pairs ol
white kid slippers under her arms; another,
carrying an infant, would be rolling a burrcl
..t ii,,iir ill. mi' the sidewalk, using her leet as
the propelling power. Here a man pushing a
wheelbarrow loaded with white leuu, omers
hurried through the crowd with large sized
family bibles as their share of the plunder,
w hile scores of femules utilized aprons and
dresses to carry Hour, dry goods, etc. Bundles
ut umbrellas, fancy parasols, hams, bacon,
lard, calico, blankets and Hour were mixed
together in the urius of robust men, or carried
on hastily constructed baud barrows.
At eleven o'clock In the morning it became
apparent that something must bo done to
check the mob and a number of citizens hur
riedly prepared notices culling a mass meet
ing of citizens at old city hall to tuke meas
uresto prevent further destruction of prop-em-.
The meeting was held at uoou and a
large number of leading citizens responded
... 1 1... .-nil It was decided to anuolut a coin-
i.ilitea consisting of Bishop Twigg, of the
..n.k.Hn ..liiiri.li .InnifA Purke. li.. lir. K
Donnelly, James I. Bennett and JJr. tt. K
bcovel, pastor of the First Presbyterian,
church, to have a conference with the rioters,
while another committee was appointed to
...it nn the railroad authorities to ascertain
w hut course ;they intended to pursue or U)
suggest a compromise iijat wouiu p.
to the disorder which existed. The meeting
ii.cn Ariiouined to meet azuln at four o'clock
iu the atieruoon.
Honrjr A. rnrsons, Jr.,
The committee to wait on the rioters
failed to induce thera to refrain from
further destruction of property and rail
road authorities could not be found. From
tho lime the military fled up lo three
o'clock lu the afternoon no effort had been
made to check l he mob other than the meet
ing of citizens referted to.
The mob worked very quietly and it was
a noticeable fact that few oftne railroad
employees were engaged in I lie work of de
struction. Here and there a mn who had
been discharged might have beon seen lead
ing a crowd, but generally the ringleaders
were men who had never been employed
on sny railroad. Mnny half grown hoys
were foremost in the work of devastation
and fied Willi the older ones in tlioir efforts.
The operations were carried on very
quietly and the multituJo of men, women
nud children who fiilled the streets and oc
cupied positions on the hillside south of Hie
railroad, looked on with astonishment
while the destruction of properly con
tinued. At 8 30 n burning car wus run down the
grade under flie'ls surrounding the Union
depot. Up to this time it was hoped that
the building would escape, but the mass of
pine lumbor used in shedding over tracks
were soon a sea of tire. Wjiiothe Are was
raging here tho mob pillagoJ the freight
depot of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St.
Louis railroad which is in closo vicinity.
Boies of freiglit receive! for shipment
were broken open and valuable contents
carried off.
After plundering (lie depot for an hour,
and after the flour, hams, and all kinds of
provisions had been carried away, the torch
was applied and soon the vast depot and
the company's general office adjoiuiug.
were a ninss of rlimes.
The depot of the Adams express com
pany, located on Graud street, was also de
stroyed. Tho fire department of the city con
tinued on duty from tho time of the tirt
alarm, but were not allowed to throw any
water on, or make' any effort to gave the
property of tho railroad company. They
consequently directed their efforts to sav
ing the private property on the north side
of Liberty street. In this they wero niaiuly
successful although six dwellings and n
sish fae'ery, located near the round house
were destroyed early in the day.
When the Union depot building was fired
lolluwed by I no rauliudle uihee, a panic
seized the citizens, who had up to this time
calmly folded their arms and looked on
It was feared that a conflagration wonld
sweep the entire portion of this city south
ol the ranhaudle railroad trucks, ns many
of tho buildings were small frames and as
city as turner. At this juncture the tire de
purtuient of Allegheny, which hud been
held in readiness in case of an outbreak on
that sido of the river, was summoned lo as
sist in staying the progress of the flames.
the ran Handle railroad building was
the last one in the line and the Allegheny
department was placed on Seventh avenue
to check the progress of the names in that
directiun. mien tins last building was
tired the whole territory between Seventh
avenue and Mullvale section, a distance ol
three miles was a mass ot flames. The rail
way company's property being nil between
the south side of Liberty street and the 11 luff.
The hill extending from .Seventh avenue to
Mullvale. The small houses on the hill
side, although badly scorched, were not
destroyed.
The railroad buildings destroyed were as
follow: Two roundhouses, one machine
shop, superintendents office, car repair
shop blacksmith, shop, three or four oil
houses, Union transfer depot and the offi
ces ot Hie Pullman company, laundry and
orhecs, disputches office, powJer house.
Union depot hotel, Pan Handle ruilroud en
gine house, general offices and height depot
ot the Adams express company.
The freight depot of the Pittsburg, C'in
cinnaii and St Louis and the general cilice
of the same company were Iired at 4.;1U
o'clock this afternoon. These are inclose
proximity to the Union depot.
Ilurrlsburgh was for a time in the
hands of the mob, the militia being
disarmed, willingly, and paraded
through the streets and provisioned
by the strikers.
The daily papers are full of accounts
of the strike and to them we invite
our readers attention as we have not
space to give more than a glimpse of
mo greatest strike America ever
knew. Freight trafie has been almost
entirely suspended, and on tho Lake
Shore lioad no trains of any descrip
tion were run for two or three days
the damage U the business interests
of the country being immense.
Although the strikers did not, it is
alleged, fire the Union depot at Pitts
burgh, they made it possible for the
roughs and vagabonds to have an ex
cuse for doing so for the sake of plun
der, and at the doors of the strikers
must be laid the blame for the wanton
destruction of property, the sacrifice of
valuable lives, and tho great loss to all
classes by reason of the detention of
trains.
The men who struck were in many
instances poorly paid, and had they
conducted the strike in an orderly man
ner the sympathy of the entire country
would have been with them. When
strikers become murderers and incen
diaries, then all law and order loving
people must denounce them as out
laws, and the sympathy born of thei
wrongs must be strangled by the in
uigiiatiou at tlie sun greater wrongs
they commit. In the name of op
prested labor, tramps, vagabonds, an
thieves, destroy property aud endan
ger life, they clog the wheels of com
inerco and cause thinking citizens to
feel that the Republic of our fathers is
a failure, but we know this order of
things cannot last long, for if it d
ruin and bankruptcy would sap the
foundation of our vast empire until it
would totter to tlie fall. The majest y
of the law will assert itself and peopl
in a sober second thought will en
deavor to fix on some plan to prevent
a repetition of the hellish scenes wit
nessed almost at our very doors during
the eventful week just past.

Tlie subject of this sketch now re
sides In Irving, N. Y. Blie formerly
ved In Frcdonla, and in the West.
Her case Is worth tho attention of
physicians, ns well as tlie people, ns It
s probably the worst one ever cured
by medicine. Here Is her own simple
ud truthful statement:
Fredonla, N. Y., June 7, 1873.
I certify that I had been sick nlKiut eight
years with an nfTectlon my physicians, called
scrofula. Tho ravage of the disease had been
urrlble. My whole throat was a raw matter-
Hug sore. My palate had been eaten out,
my nose, face and forehead had discharging
sores, and my left eyelid wns partly enten olf,
my body and limbs had deep eating ulcers
extruding nearly to the bone, that had ex
isted for years. I was reduced In flesh to a
mere skeleton, and my strength was well
Igh exhausted.
I was In this dreadful condition n mere
wreck of my former self In November, 18011.
hud been treated by a number of doctors of
great reputation, both In this country and In
the West without apparent benefit. I had
become discouraged and my enso seemed
hopeless as It Was dreadful. At this time Dr.
Ken n cr of Frcdonla, commenced treating me.
and I began taking his Dlood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic, Almost imme
diately I began to Improve. My ulcers censed
to eat and pnln me and began to heal ; my
nerves strengthened dally, and I soon began
to gain In flesh. Within three months I bo-
enmo ns It were a new being. I continued to
take his remedy for about a year, although to
II appearances I was nearly well In six
ilonths after beginning It.. But I knew that
inedlelno that had such healing powers,
and had given me so much strength and flesh
could not hurt mo, and I continued so long to
be sure that there was none of the dtsenso loft
In my blood or system. . Now three years
have elapsed since I hnvo taken any of the
Remedy, but I remain entirely well of the
disease, no truco except some scars romnln-
ng to tell how terrible Its rnvnges had been.
I feel as well and strong as I ever did bctore
It. MR& ANNA ADAMS.

believe after such evidence as this It would
probably bo impossible to convince them of
anything. For sale by dealers In medicine.
