Tbe Surgeon in-Chief of tbe Division
ia Lt. Col. J. Ewing Means. Tbe
Division Staff includes Major Pettit.
Major Wilson, Major Lazarus, and
Major Baugb, the latter being the
commissarr. Ibe only members 01
the Second Brigade Staff on hand are
C&pt. R. W. P. Allen and Major Lo
der, Brigade Surgeon. Tbe " troops
have with them two Oatliog pan?,
which they got at Altoona. For this
ordnance tbey have a very affection
ate regard, because of tbe good ser
vice it was to ibem on Saturday
night and yesterday. At tbe Union
Depot tbe men were, after their arriv
al, furnished with coffee and sand
wiches. Then they were formed in
line and marched to Tweoty-eigbtb
street, led by Sheriff Fife and Gener
al Pearson, where tbe carnage com
menced. - , ; . . :
Tbe soldiers were subjected to gibes
and Insults continually after they bad
gotten within ear-shot of tbe assem
bling place of tbe strikers, bet their
orders were to pay no attention what
ever to jeera, or anything of that sort,
but to keep cool and collected and
obey tbe commands of their' officers.
Before going any further with this
account it might be worth while to
state here that this is largely tbe mil
tary view of the fighting, as obtair-
ed from the commanding and several
of tbe division officers. Beaching
thft Twenty-eighth street crossing or
ders were given for tbe : crowd to
clear tbe track ; to get away so aa to
not interfere with the movement of
tbe military or trains. It was tbe
pa rpofe of tbe railroad auhorities to
take out a "double header" on Satur
day evening, if tbe soldiers rhould
succeed In getting and holding tbe
crowd away from Twenty-eigbtstreet
Tbe assemblage of people not oolv re
fu Red to budge, but the cries and Lia
ses at tbe soldiery were renewed.
Oeneral Brinton talked to tbe people
and beggad tbem, bo he says, to keep
away or tbat some of tbem would get
hurt. . He told them tbat - bis - men
bad been ordered to come to this city
t perform an ugly dutv, and tbat
tbey would have to do It, no matter
wbat tbe cost liis expostulations
were unheeded. - - ?
The General directed hie Uoope to
fix bayoneta and clear a passage way
Tbe men in tbe crowd caught bold of
the bayontts and attempted ta wrench
tbe guns from it e soldiers.; It seems
as though it was fated that bloods! ed
as to follow, and tbat ao exertions
on tbe part of the officers or pa'ience
bv the soldiers would avert IL- Fin
allv a Sergeant in Co. B of one of tbe
regiments was shot, and neveral of
tbe privates wefw struck with . car
couplings, stones &c Then a - sol
dier, without orders, fired, and bis ex
ample was imitated by other. ,Tbe
first firing done was by Compaoy A.
of the Firat regiment, and then a gen
eral fusillade irom tbe whole division
followed. Gen.' Brinton and . Gen
Pearson both unite in saying emphat
ically that no order to open fire was
given. It was tbe epoataoeoua ac
tion of the troops, resulting largely,
doubtless, from nervousness and fear
at being placed ia a position te which
tbey , were not aceastomed, aad
which seemed to promise danger it
r decisive action of some kind were not
promptly taken. Tbe musketry fire
was chiefly directed up the bill, above
tbe railroad track, and it was effective
both in tbe way ofkilliegend wound
ing persons aad dirperstag the crowd
It was unfortunate that ao manr in-

noccut peraoos were killed. !. The hill.
aide waa black with people, and tbe
bullets took fearful effect among toem.
At least eight were killed and twelve
or fifteen wounded, some fatally. The
oiiiiMs tore sucd great holes ia . aorae
oi tbe bodhM tbat aa nnpre&aiun got
abroad that one of the Gatiiag guns
bail been Jtiacbareed, but ' tie) era I
Briotoe denies tbat rtpjrt, and says
ui cannon was not Bred once oa Sat
urday evening. .., . ...f . i,:;.
Stationed oa the aide of ; the bill
were detachmente of the Fourteenth
and Nineteenth regiments of ibis
city. One of tbe latter, Jacob New
meister, was killed by the Pbiladel-
pbians. Tbu, combined with the
tact tbat many others narrowly es
caped, and that many ef tbe soldiers
of both regiment were in svmpatbT
with tbe cause of tbe srikers, bat sot
of ibe mob, led large numbers of the
Pittsburgh troops to leave the field.
Some of them vowed tbat tbey would
not Cgbt to put down workingmen.
Tbe departure of these men left tbe
eastern soldiers pretty much by them
selves.
Mis. E. Keener, who was standing
on tbe billMtle with a baby in ber
arms, was struck by a bullet, which
killed bef child and Inflicted a severe
woaod upon her. 'A little five year
old girl bad her lips almost complete
ly torn away by a bullet The
wound, from the effect of which she
soon died, is such a terrible one that
it is difficult to believe it was Inflict
ed by a bullet A laborer on his way
home from work was, while walking
up tbe hill with his tin backet in his
hand, shot ia tbe bark of the bead.
He fell dead. When found his body
was almost rigid, and bis hand clutch
ed the bncket with such a -grip that
it could hardly be loosed. ' . He never
knew what hurt him. Two men were
standing on the hillside ; talking,
Tbey were mere spectators, and
strangers to each c'er. J Tbey
beard tbe volley of r.".ketry. One
oftbem looked to see wbat u au
about, and npon taming to speak, to
bis companion found aim lying dead
at his feet. Tbe bullet: hole in his
head needed no explanation. ' A little
boy half a mile away: was that and
so seriously wounded as to endanger
his life.
Xot withstanding manr of tbe Phil
adelpbia troops wete old soldiers.
some of them having served in the
rebellion, they exhibited -considerable
trepidation out at Twenty-eighth
street An officer says that be saw
dozens of tbem snoot straight up in
the air. He didn't know, of course,
betberit was through a dislike for
shedding blood, or from fear, but he
rather believed tbat it was the result
of being brought face to face with an
unfamiliar danger. This fight took
place abooi Dve"orcT6cl fa'the even
ing. Tu spreading throughout the
city the cews couldn't have been dis
tanced by tbe wind. Tbe wildest
excitement followed, and instead of
staying away from the scene of dan
ger thousands of men and boys flock
ed to tbe scene of it. Tbe side and
summit of the bill looking upon Twen
ty-eighth street grew blacker than
ever with rash women aad men,Vut
fortonatelr no further shooting took
place. We had almost written fight
ing instead of shooting, but in this
case about all the fighting was done
on one side. The firing of the soldiers
dispersed the crowd and gave tbem
possession ol the railroad track. This
tbey held until about seven o'clock,
when General Pearson ordered Gen
eral Brinton to retire with his men
into tbe round boose of tbe Pennsyl
vania railroad. Tbe populace was
growing so excited ; threats of execu
ting vengeance on tbe Pbiladeipbians
were so general : men, unthinking
and reckless, and ready for any deed
ol desperation, were arming by hun
dreds All this could not but bave
beea known to General Pearson, and
tbey are doubtles tbe considerations
tbat influenced bim to give tbe above
order. He was thoughtful of tbe
sjftMV "f tbe troop, and selected the
round buurie as in bis opioion tbe
most eligible place to defend, aud tbe
ooo which promised most security.
With tbe coming of darkness tbe
soldiers marched into the round-house,
General Pearson accompanying tbem,
to-etber with Capt. E. Y. Breck. of
Hutchinson's Battery, two . of his
guns and several of his men. It
was one of the uiost deoperate nights
tbe.e men ever passed. Tbe offices
of the outer depot, on Liberty street,
fronting Twenty-sixth street, were
transformed into headquarters. Tbe
round-house above these offices and
the machine shop and round-bouse
below tbem, were taken possession of
and guarded by the rank and file.
Tte two Gatling guns, and tbe pair
of cannon from Hutchinson's Bittery,
tbe latter loaded with canister, were
placed in advantageous positions to
sweep all tbe entrances. Cooped up
ia these bouses tbe military were al
ai is t completely cut off from commu
nication with any person outside, or
from tbe headquarters of Adjutant
General Laite, wbicb - were , at tbe
Union Depot, i But tbey held their
ground uutil eigbt o'clock this morn-
teg wubout tbe loss by death or . in
jury of a tingle man. , Men s armed
by 1 bousanda Irom all sections of tbe
city to the locality where the troop
were intrenched wilu tte intention
on tbe part of a majority cf tbem to
maesacre tbe whole : division. . But
it is always the ease tbat unorganiz
ed tffjrt fail to accomplish anything
against dnciplioe, mi all tbe effort
of tbe rioters to dirlotlge the soldiery
or kill thim p.-ovid ineffective. Tbe
officers in tbe headquarters, where
the gaa was kept lit, were the special
targets of riflemen ouuide, who kept
pouring bullets inside, but with no
other effect than to riddle the win
dows and walls. Everything moved
along quietly euough until toward
tbe middle of tbe oigbt, wheq tbe
rioters began to get boisteroqs in their
demonstration. Ilumors as numer
ous as tbey were, varied about wbat
had been dona atd, what aa being
done, were circulated in alt parts of
the city, but most of tbem proved io-J
correct ly .twelve o clock tbe
rioter who had sacked the gun shops
ia the city, : tegan tu collect about '
the rooud-botuu-, ou which they open
ed a vigor oa fire.. Tbe a umber of
bullet ibey used iu this . way was
wonderful- ; ' -
The mob made aa attempt to break
in tbe gttes and overwhelm the;
troops by force of numbers, but was

siKcesr fully resisted. .' .Then tb rtor?
era resorted, to a new -and better
dodge, which the good judgment -and
discretion of the commanding officers
ody rendered unavailing. . They got
three car oa tbe track ot the .Alle
gheny Valley Railroad, which run ia
front of tbe depot o Bices and round
houses. .' Oae of tfaesa cara was load
ed with grain, one with whisky and
tie tbird with oil. It wa the mten
tion to set nre to tbese cars and run
tbem down in front of the quarters,
to which they would undoubtedly
set fire. Tbe. first- car that .came
down, propelled by ita own weight,
oa a descending grade,; was full of
grain. It was ia flesjea, and looked
ominous as it -rolled toward its desti
nation, -. Opening the yard gates, in
compliance with an order from ' Gen.
Brinton. who saw that prompt action
was accessary to saa - them from
great danger,, some f the soldiers
leaped out in tbe iacea of tbe. rioters
and , threw pieces ef lumber on tbe
rails tor the 'purposeof burling tbe
cars from the track. Singular ,-as it
may seem the car broke the lumber
and passed on. Then the Boldiers
rolled several far : wheel out and
laid tbem on tbe, track." Tbe next
tbat came sailing dowq was a burn
ing car of ; whisky, ll struck : the
wheels and was hurled .over ioto tbe
street directly ' in . freat of the mob,.
but both this and the grain car were
still burning. . It , Iras absolutely
necessary to extinguish tbem, or the
rioter would have) accomplished
their object Gettiufl a line of hose
tbe militiamen attached it to a , plug
in one of the building, and soon bad
a stream f of ;.wsterjplayiog on the
cars. Toev extipgubed tbe fire in
a few minutes, greatij to tbe dissap
poiotment of those wfo bad arranged
this teheoir, who coftld do notbiog
but cure, wbicb . they did freely.
The haudling of. thlf 'hose and . the
placing ol cbmructioo? of the track
was atteoded -with; great danger.
Tbe outsiders kept peppering away
at tbe soldiers, but none of tbe latter
were hit. There must bave been
more poor marksmanship displayed
at this place on Saturday oigbt, and
more ammunition wasted, than was
ever before done in the", same space
of time. , f - ,
I But tbe greatest danger of all was
yet to come, and tbat was the flam
ing car of petroleum. Had the riot
ers succeeded in getting it where
tbey did the oilier, water would
bave been of no account in quench
ing iv It ba often been demonstrat
ed in this city in an oil ' conflagration
of any extent but little reliance- can
be placed upon water. The soldiers
saw tbe ear approaching r but oh,
thank to a kind fate, it jumped the
track before it bad - gotten close
enough, to endanger" the safety of - the
military quarters. General Brinton
didn't apprehend a particle of trou
ble from anything else than fire. He
knew that be could bold tbe round
honse against any unorganized force

He was also well aware of tbe fact
tbat nothing but flame could dUIodge
bim. Hi fears of fire were well
fouuded, f .r wbeo be finally retreat
ed from ibe outer depot it was only
when compelled to do so by tbe in
sufferable beat.
Tbe burning car ruse was followed
about two o'clock in tbe morning by
an attempt to bombard tbe round
house. Tbe rioters bad obtained
cannon some place, it is supposed
from Knapp's Battery, and Btationed
it on Liberty street so as lo sweep
tbe bead quarter and one of tbe
round houses. It was loaded with
railroad spikes and coupling irons,
and bad it ever been discharged
would bave bad an effect terrible to
contemplate. General Brinton could
see a commotion in the crowd, but
was unable at first to ascertain wbat
it was about. Finally tbe rioters
parted, and looking from among tbem
he saw tbo yawning mouth ot a can
oon This was an enemy bo bad hard
ly tbougbt ot. It was an emtrveocy
where tbe loss of a momect might
have brought down great de
struction upon their beads.. Tbe mob
wa within speaking distance, fetep-
ing to a window be bailed tbe crowd
(ibis ia tbe general' own storv) and
said tbat be would shoot the Crot man
that attempted to fire it. He warned
tbem away, and told tbem be was in
earnest. It was a case of either
death to tbem, or death to bim - and
bis men. Stationing twenty men at
a window be gave tbem order to
shoot at tbe first attempt to fire that
cannon. He told tbem to aim low
and well, and to waste no ammuni
tion. Tbe General's orders were dis
regarded. A crowd of rioters step
ped up to discharge tbe weapou, aod
tbe soldiers fired. Tbey had obeyed
oiders and aimed low. Several of
the mob were killed and a no in ber
wounded. Tbe rioter fell back out
of sight at this display of determina
tion on tbe part of the military, but in
a few mi aute a man stepped forward
and aked permission to rem re their
ead.
, General Brinton consented, but iu
granting pe'iuissioo repeated bis
warning that tbe first man tbat at
tempted to discharged tbe cannon
would be bbot. A few of the killed
were carried away, after wbicb, witb
a detperatioo aid bravery unsurpa
ed, another dive wa made toward
tbe gun with the intention of sending
its contents into the round house, but
sgain tbe troops fired, and tbe riot
ers, appalled at tbe slaughter of their
Cdmrades, fell back without haviug
accomplished their purpose. ' I t was
not long until a tbird effort was
made, but it too failed and tbeu the
rioters let tbe goos severely alone. 1
Person who heard tbe musketry fir
ing between two and three ' o'clock
yesterday morning will now - under
stand what it was about. The milit1
tary watched tbat cannon until their!
retreat from the round house, and it
was only discharged when tbey had

on Saturday evening, but tbe rioters
deprived bim of his . provender . and
(cattered ilia the street . ,
Toward daylight yesterday morn
ing tbe rioters ignited coal cars on
tbe Pennsylvania Railroad and push
ed tbem down ao that tbe flames
would reach : the roood-bouse. Ia
this incendiary attempt : they were
successful. Thetound-house caught
firei ; The troops stood tbe beat as
loog as tbey could, but it eventually
became apparent that' tbey would
have to vacate the building, although
it waB fleeing from oae enemy to lace
another. The soldiers were all call
ed together, and tbo ammunition in
their possession was - redistributed,
each man being given an equal num
ber of rounds. Both guns of Hutch
inson's battery were spiked, and Geo.
Brinton ordered bis men to lake up
tbe fine of retreat. The First Bri
gade bad tbe right and Second Bri
gade tbe left of the line. .The Sixth
regiment, whieb suffered so severely
in killed and wounded, brought np
the rear; :
Dragging their , Gatling guns with
them tbe troops, led by Gen. Brinton
aad bis staff, marched through tbe
lower roued-bouse, through tbe car
shops and along the platform of the
transfer depot, down to twenty-fifth
street , Tbey march ed down twenty
fifth and turned up Penn avenue. It
was a splendidly executed movement
and General Brinton deserves credit
for the skillful manner in which it was
accomplished. : He had gotten some
distance up Pean street
before tbe
rioters discovered the retreat Then
the mob took after tbe military, wbicb
marched in solid eolumc. and never
once faltered,' notwitstanding the
thousand . dangers that threatened
them ou trery side. It was General
Brinton'a purpose to go as tar as tbe
U. S. Arsenal, on Butler street, and
there encamp. Upon arriving there
be knocked at tbe gate but was refus
ed admittance. Oa this march five
soldiers were killed, and one of tbe
Gatling guns was twice fired into tbe
pursuing rioters, each time with - aw
ful effect men fell before it like
grain bef' re the mower.- General
Brinton told our .reporter tbat be
could have killed hundreds of men,
but bis heart grew sick at contempla
tion of tbe slaughter be could cause,
and be refrained- Both Gatling guns
have plenty of ammuaition. aoiL a kh
tbem be could have fired continuous
ly into the crowds tbat were follow
ing him and killed scores and hun
dreds of men. While marching along
Butler street, near tbe arsenal, two
men came out of a street car tbat
was passing by, and standing on tbe
rear platform fired into tbe column
and killed corporal Wm. Gills, and
private Alex. Miller. Before this
privates S. H. Hess and George Ste
phenson bad been killed while march
ing along Penn avenue, and Lieut
Ash. of tbe Ker stone Battery, had
been badly wounded.
Upon reaching the bridge that
crosses tbe Allegheny river at Sharps
burg the mob stopped pursuing, and
tbe troops were molested no further.
They marched on up to Claremot, on
the West Penn railroad, and are now
encamped on the bill overlooking tbe
Workhouse and Allegheny City
Home. They are, however, in un
comfotable proximity to the Alle
gheny Pest House. When they got
here,' about two o'clock, many of them
completely worn out sd down in
tbe bot sun tbat shone . through the
trees and were sound asleep before
tbev knew it. About six o'clock
tbev trot something to eat. tbe first
since Saturday nooo. Superintend
aatGrubbs, of the Allegheny Home,
and Superintendent Cordier, of the
Workhouse, gave tbem all tbe bread,
meat and coffee tbat could be spared.
Mr. Camp, of Sbarpaburg, and Mr.
Arthur Kirk distributed tbe provis
ions, wbicb were most gratefully re
ceived.
Iu an interview wkh Gen Brinton
he spoke rather uncomplimentarily
of tbe Pittsburgh troops, Pittsburgh
citizens, the . Pennsylvania railroad
and Gen Pearson, lie said that Gen.
Pearson left the round house about
nine o'clock on Saturday night, dis
guised, since which time Gen. Brin
ton hai neither seen or beard of him.
Gen. Loude pronounced Pearson
coward, and tbe whole division poke
of bim in most eootemptu ou terms.
V e forgot to state tbat twelve ol
the Philadelphia troops, wounded in
tbe shooting at Tweaiy-eia-hiL street,
on Saturday evening, were sent home
tbe same night
ON TUENOBTH SIDE.
The appearance of tbe ground oc
cupied by tbe strikers oo tbe - Fort
Wayne Road ia Allegheny Oa Satur
day was warlike ia the extreme. In
the expectation of tbe arrival of troop-
irom trie, tbe Strikers built lort in ca
tions commanding the tracks and
armed them with" a cannon taken
from Knap's Battery. Tbe tortifiea
lions are at Strawberrr lane, half a
mile below the Fort Wayne round
bouse. These works are garrisoned
by about three hundred well armed
men, who stopped all paseenger
trams coming in and searching them
to see If tbey brought aoy soldiers.
No sctnsl hostilities took place on
the North Side Saturday night ex
cept tbe sacking of the "armory of the
tllegbeny Unards and Knap's Bat
tery. Tbe building was broken into
by a crowd ot To or I (XI men and
boys and a number ot small arm ta-
keti out, together with the cannon
uow mounted at Strawberrv Lane
aod one at ,htlitt, nwl
at tbe outer
jepot oll jhjagjde
About six o'clock in the evening a
man came to the Mayor' office
breathless, exd ed, and said that tbe
mob was making arrangements to
come to Allegheny and set fire to all
tbe railroad property in tbe ciiy, aud
al-o to release the prisoner ia the
lVoitentiary. Mayor Phillip hasti
ly rent wurd to a few of the prooai-
neut eilizeas. and br seven . o'clock
about ene hundred mea had collected
in tbe Diamond in front of the Mar.
or' office. As but few of the citi-
. I
..ij.; (.l i i J
tens could be notified of tbe threat
ened danger in time to tuf awfvicei,
it was proposed to sound aa afarm oli
fire, and thus draw tberpeople. to tbejeideou. ' A large amouut of the pfi
Mayor's XmcS ' bni W ta. sat
thought bes. as it might create more
excitement than was desired. His
Honor stated the -danger with which
- 1
the city was tbreaieneo, ami iuea
for volunteers to petrel the city and
ruard tbe bridge during the night
- About forty , mea ' responded.'Vvod
were at once aworn ia a special eV
licemen, accompanied by six or eigbt
of tbe regular policcruwo were sent to
each bridge. Use squad vl citizens
about fifty in number, were armed
with muskets belonging to Captain
Brigbam's infantry company, aod
also well provided with ammuaition.
This entire squad was sent to the
Point Bridge as it wa found the ri
oters would most likely come across
the bridge. Another squad of citi
zens manned Knap's battery aud
planted one gun at tbe " end of. eaoh
bridge, and one at the outer depot
Tbey dragged the guns by band, bot
borses were auerward provided to
move tbe guns in case they might be
needed quickly at another point , In
lieu of canister and ball, a large quan
tity ot spikes and nail were furnish
ed to the men handling each gun.
During the progress of these arrange
ments citizens kept flocking into the
Diamond and were also informed of
tbe expected trouble. . Many of tbem
joined the special police squads. Sev
eral times messengers arrived ana re
ported that the mob was moving to
wards Allegheny.. At eigbt o'clock
all the squad were posted et tbs
points to wbicb tbey were order
ed. - - . .
Information waa also received from
the railroad men at Strawberry Lane
tbat they Lad turned over thmr mus
kets and ammunition which they bad
taken on Friday nigbt from tbe ar
mory of tbe Allegheny guard, to
Mr. W. F. Ross the dispatcher . of
the Ft Wayne Railroad, and they
also sent word to ibe Mayor tbat
tbey would use all their power to pro
tect tbe railroad property in tbe outer
depot yard. In order to keep posted
aa to ibe approach of tbe mob citi
zens oa horseback were sent to palrol
1'enn aid Liberty streets, Pittsbarg,
who were to ride rapidly to Alleghe
ny as soon as tbe rioters made a move
ment tbat way. .
Tbe appalling record may thua be
summed up: Thirty-two soldiers and
citizen tlaio; fifty-four persona woun
ded; fully $10,000,000 worth of prop,
erty destroyed, business receiving a
shock tbat may 'paralyze it for weeks;,
one of tbe most magnificent railroad
buildings in tbe country was destroy
ed; thousands of dollars worth of pri
vate property in ashes; the city's fair
namefoully. .disgraced. ,. Such is. the
tale of mob law we bave bad in Pitts
burg.
Up to 7 o'clock last evening Coro
ner Thomas bad received notice of
the death of twenty persons. Being
questioned as to when he would bold
tbe inquest, be said tbat be did not
know at wbat time be would com
mence tne task, out certainir not un
. e e . e
til all tbe shooting is over. Juries
will be empannelled to view the bod
ies, quite likely to-day, and the in
quests adjourned until matters hsve
definitely become quiet Tbe total
number killed will in all probability be
reported by this evening, tbongb it
is possible that in some cases this du
ty will be neglected.
Between two end three o'clock
this morning a gang of men supposed
to be thieves, made an attack upon
tbe freight ears of the Panhandle
road, near Clinton Mills, South Side.
A number fcars were broken open
and tbe torch applied to one. An
alarm was sounded promptly, to
which the department responded, and
tbe flames were extinguished before
they had gained much headway.
Tbe thieves were driven away by cit
izens, and a guard placed over the
cars to protect them agaiast further
molestation.
An incident, which occurred du
ring tbe fire at tbe Union Depot will
illustrate tbe spirit of tbe mob. A
gentleman engaged in tbe wholesale
liquor trade, who saw a gang be
knew, spoke to tbem in an endeavor
to dissuade their work when one of
tbem said: "Wny.d nit this is a
bully thing for you. We're just
cleaning out tbis whisky and it wilJ
lucreasetbe supply."
"My friend," said the dealer.
"mat's not in my line. I don't want
any man's propertr destroyed to in
crease my trade. This is devilish
work."
''See here now, bose," said the
man, "We don't want to be talked to
in that way. This railroad company
tried to beat the workingmaa. Tbey
find it rough work when he turns tbe
tables sad bests tbem."
"But you're not a railroad man."
"That's not a d n bit of differeace.
I'm a workiogman, and by G d no
one shall beat down our wares.
Hoop her up, boys."
This last remark was ajdreased to
some of bis companions, who were
industriously carrying all the port
ble property tbey could.
A report was ia circulation at 12
o'clock last nigbt tbat an attempt bad
been made to fire the rort xVavne
offices oa Peon street snd thst a po
liceman saw a man apply 'the torch
and shot him, killiog bim instantly;
tbat the rioters then attacked the of
ficer, who was reinforced by other of
ficers, aad four more of the rioters
bad been killed. Tbe report caused
quite an excitement for a time, but
on investigation proved to be a wild
exaggeration, as the only abt fired
near that locality was at the Ameri
can Honse, Liberty street, where the
polioe fired into the air to frighten a
crowd of men out of Plum alley.
shortly before tbe Loion . Depot
Hotel was Gred yesterday afternoon
a crowd of plunderers gathered around
a burning car and endeavored to se
cure some of it contents. ' The ear

ceeded, even if be was heartily

About eleven o'clock last . night
there waa a boisterous crowd assem
bled on Smitbfield aud Fif'-h streets,
and one oftbem, more demonstrative
than discreet proposed in a loud
tone to bis companions to burn tbe
town down. On the opposite comer
stood a gentleman who, although a
knight of tbe green cloth aad short
cards, ia broad shouldered aad mus
cular, and has a breast as large as a
two year old short horn, qqietly
walked across the street and with
the remark that no man could burn
the town down while he was id it or
propose to it in his presence, knocked
tbe fellow who made tbe proposition
into the middle of the street one

laging Irom freight cars made but a
feeble attempt to accomplish this pur
poses. The crowd fled precipitately'
at their approach," aod the officers
took possession of a car that bad
beea broken open. Singularly enough,
they, too, began to tumble out the
freight and presently engaged in
throwing boxes of cigars to tbe crowd
ia Liberty street Ihe fire envelop
ing tbe car tbe officers went further
up the track, but abandoned any se
rious efforts to stop tbe pillaging.
During the greatest of the excite
ment )u tbe afternoon,, while tbe
Union Depot was burning, a barrel of
whiskey was rolled into Liberty
street the head knocked in, and the
crowd allowed to partake freely. A
citizen, appreciating the danger of
such a proceeding, upset the barrel
spilling tbe contents. It had been
taken out of one of tbe freight cars.
Of tbe saloon keepers it must be
said tbat ther acted wisely in clos
ing up their places and keeping tbem
closed during the day and evening.
But notwithstanding tbis there were
many drunken men in the crowds
that surged through the streets, and
many a weary one fell by tbe way
side in journeying homeward at night-
tall.
The Grey b, about nine o'clock last
nigbt, marched down to the Do-
quesne freight depot for the purpose
of ssaistiog in guarding it from tbe
threatened attack of tbe incendiary
mob. rinding that the place wa
amply protected, tbey about faced,
marebed back to their armory and
disbanded for the nigbt
As tbe fiery element continued to
work iu way toward tbe Union De
pot Hotel tbe officers ot the Adams
Lxpress Compsor in this city became
alarmed for the safety of their depot
on Uraot street od about tbree
o'clock all their teams snd available
force were brought into requisition,
and every dollar's worth of good
transferred from their depot to their
office on Fifth aveoue, and tbe result
proved that thetr fears were well
founded, for scarcely had tbe wagon
left with the last load until tbe build
ing wa fired, aod in a few moments
afterward waa a mass of ruins. . It
wss also feared that an attempt
would be made to burn tbe depot of
the West Peon road, and Mr. James
Orr'a teams were brought ioto requi
sition and all goods removed to s
secure point. ; This,' however, was
aaueceacary, a no demonstration was
made cu that side of the river.
So great was the ueaiand for vehi
cles yesterday that a carriage or bug

derm tie afteraooo. Most or tbe

to witoess tbe. conflagration in iu full

would have beea a herculean task. .
A gentleman connected with this
office bed rather aa unpleasaat inter

wss staodiog ia tbe hall above tbe
Round House yesterday- morning
looking at tbe burning ears, and no

the fire could easily be stopped if a

Further down Liberty street -be- -tweentwoand

were engaged ia securing barrels of !

over the stone wall was attended ;
with no little tropbla.- Planks- were-
secured and the barrels rolled do wo

orous sad placky female made three

aad eppeariog with a fourth, deter- i
mioed not to fail tbi time. Starting

down the plaak, fell over tbe barrel,
and before she could get up the bar

and she calmly wiped the perora

bad msdevC herself.
The heated ruins ef the l oion De
oa: and grain elevator bad scarcely
a dozen persons about thetu '.his
morning at tbree o'clock. The mob
had either worn eompletelr out and
gone hoiAve, or else departed for oth
er scenes..,, Thirty-six hours of un
ceasing ravagj and devastation is
enough certainly to satiate or to '
wear out any body of men.
All the leading Dankiozlnstiliition
ia tbe city were onder gnard laat
nigbt as a precautionary measure.
There were just grounds for appre
hending tbat tbe rioters, flushed witb
the plunders of the day, ami inspired
by the feeliag of utter ininiunity,
might concentrate tbeir forces and
make aa attack npon some of the
banks. As tbey are all well provid
ed with burglar proof safes, it is not
at all likely tbat the mob couIJ have
obtained a single dollar ; but a visit
from them would have been verr far
from agreeable, whether successful or
not.
So rapidly did the fire spread upoa
reaching tbe Union Depot Hotel that
a number of tbe guests, who bad re
mained in tbe upper stories until the
lower ones became filled with smoke
aud flame, narrowly escaped witb
their lives. One ot our repoiter no
ticed a man hastily emerge from a
third siry window, ao the Liberty
street front, and reaching wi-.b his
feet the iron arch of tbe window be
neath him, endeavored to deeeeoii,
but missing his footing be fell a dis
tance of ten feet to the roof of the
passage war at tbe side ot the build
ing and almost rolled into tbe street.
He recovered biaiself. and wa loud
ly cheered as be successfully reached
tbe street by climbing down a pont
at tbe northeast corner. The others
who, like him, bad tarried too locg.
made more graceful descents, but one
of tbem was obliged to leap a rather
dangerous distance.
Those foremost ia the work of de-
vastatioa and ruin were bovs of from
sixteen to eighteen years of age, who
went about with a quietude, boldoes
and determination singular ta ob
serve. (Joe of oor reporter in fol
lowing up the progress of the confla
gration on Sunday, particularly no
ticed this feature. In the party who
fired the Union Depot were two
young negroes. As tbey entered tbe
