The beautiful Princess Dagmar, ,
The "darling queen” lay dead
With lilies on her bosom
And round her head.
Cold, and fair, and silent,
Upon her bier she lay,
And weeping lord* and gentlemen
Were bearing her away
When down the city causeway,
Whereon the mourner* passed,
In bitter grief and raging woe
The king came tiding fast.
The dead heart in her bosom
Leapt up his oio* to hear,
The dead lips opened softly,
She rose upon the bier
Straight to her husband’* smitten soul
A smile of heaven she sent;
A word of love and pUsdiDg,
Then hack to death she went.
To die a double dying.
Oh fate, be spared to me!
When death bas kissed mine eyehds
And life has set me free.
T’ on, dearest, do not call me!
Do not utter a word ;
Let not my peace be broken,
My hard-won slumber stirred.
Leave it for one voice, dearer,
Dearer even than thine,
When the resurrection morning
On heaven and earth shall shine,
To seud its trumpet clangor
Through star, and sod, and sky,
And call His dead, where'er their bed,
To the life that cannot die.

John Smith, a young atiomey, just admitted
Was solemn and sagacious as- young attor-
Aud a frown of deep abstraction held the seizin
of his face,
The eeult of contemplation of tkd Is B
Shelley’s case.
fine dev in term-time Mr. Smith was sitting in
the Court, . , , ,
When some good men and true of the body or
the county did on their oath report.
That heretofore, to-wit: upon tne second day
of May, .
A D 1877, about the hour of noo i, m the
conntv and State aforesaid, one Joseph
Hcroggs, late of said couuty, did then
ami there feloniously take, steal and
carry away . , „
One bay horse, of the value of fifty dollars,
more or less,
(The same then and there being of the prop
erty goods and chattels of one Hezckiah
Hess);
Contrary to the statute in such case expressly
made . .
And provided; and against the peace and dig
nity of the State wherein the venue had
been laid.
The prisoner. Joseph Scrogg*. was then ar
raigned upon this charge
And plead not guilty, and of this he threw him
self upon the country at large ;
And said Joseph being poor, the Court did gra
ciously appoint
Mr. Smith to defend him—much on the same
principle that obtains in every charity
hospital, whero a young medical student
is often sot to rectify a serious injury to
an organ or a joint.
The wilneesos seemed prejudiced against poor
Mr. Hcroggs;
And the District Attorney made a thrilling
speech, iu which he told the jury that if
they didn’t find for the State he reck
oned he’d have to “walk their logs
Then Mr. Smith arose and made his speech for
the defense,
Wherein he quoted Shakespeare, Blackstone,
Chitty, Archbold, Joaquin Miller, Story.
Kent, Tupper, Smedes and Marshall, and
many other writers, and everybody said
they “never heered sioh a bust of elo
quence.”
And ha said: “On this hypothesis, my client
must go free
Aud- “Again, on this hypothesis, its morally
impossible that he could be guilty, don’t
you see ?”
And: "Then, on this hypothesis, you really
c'Aii't convict
And so on with forty-six more hypotheses,
upon non© of which, Mr. Smith ably
demonstrated, could Hcroggs be dere
lict.
But the jury, never stirring from the box
wherein they sat, returned a verdict or
“guilty;" and his Honor straightway
sentenced Hcroggs to a three-year term
iu the penitentiary, in a heavy flue, and
the costs on top of that;
Aud the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and
danced and sung ; ....
And when they asked him the reason of this
strange behavior, he said: "l*s because
I got off so easy, for if there’d ha' been
a few more of them darned hypothesise*
i should certainly have been hung."

Dr. Rolf's numerous eccentricities
finally culminated in devoted love for a
pet monkey. The monkey was his solace
—and his care daring the cold of last
Wiuter. Toward early Spring the Doc
tor's attention grew slack, and the mon
key's tail was frozen. The fact did not
become known, however, until the warm
weather came and mortification set iu—
in the tail. Of course the monkey be
came ill, and the Doctor oonotaded, af
ter careful examination,that amputation
of the diseased member was necessary
to save Jooco’s life; so it was cat off.
The monkey’s health began to improve
immediately, but he became depressed
in mind, and ashamed. We may never
malice the fall extent of that monkey’s
chagrin aa he viewed his useless and ill
looking tail stump; only a s we ponder
on the strange action of the “missing
link.” In the monkey's cage was a
stout cord that served a number of use
ful purpoee*. The moukey was seen to
handle the rope a good deal and to be
come absorbed in contemplation
What was Dr. Rolfs astonishment to i
get up one morning and find that the
monkey had actually fastened the rope
to the top of his cage, had made a per
fect slip-noose, and had committed sui
cide in a thoroughly human way by
banging. t m

Washington, July 22 —Nothing new
in New York State. Everything, in
cluding mails, is detained at Homells
ville. There are small tumults and
great anxiety throughout the State. The
marines, hence for Baltimore last night,
mived safely. The mob did not arrest
them in any way. The police fonnd
little difficulty in clubbing crowds to
;heir home*. About one hundred ar
rests were made, thirty-five or forty
with oil cans. Some other property was
burned by the rioters at Viaduct station.
Gen. Hancock is at Baltimore. Troops
en route from Philadelphia for Pitts
burg were hooted at at Harrisburg and
as the train started showers of stones
Struck it. The police who arrested a
man wore stoned on the way to the sta
tion house. Great indecision charac
terized Gov. Young’s actions. Newark
is still rampant. . .
I'he western part of Pittsburg is in
the hands of the rioters. The control
of affairs has passed from the hands of
the strikers in the hands of discontent
ed laborers of all classes, and a most
terrible disorganization exists among
them. Oil cars are set on fire and
pushed from poiut to point for incen
diary purposes. A portion of Krupp’s
battery, which the rioters captured,
stragetically placed to prevent soldiers
approaching the city. Sheriff Fife was
certainly killed. General fjearson is

In the round house, which the troops
seem to handle w"h discretion and

vieiDity, which the rioters are afraid to
move. . .
Altoona, Pa., July 22.-A train of
soldiers which reached here this morn
ing en route for Pittsburg was stopped
by strikers and the engines taken from
the train, Oue company stacked arms
and refused to do anything. Another
company tried to connect the engine to
the train but was attacked and driven ofl
by the strikers. A whole train of sol
diers is layiug here and under com
plete control of the strikers.
Baltimore, July 22, 12:10, p. m.—Not
withstanding the apparent quiet pre
vailing at this hour, a most edited feel
prevails. Four hundred regular
mops, including those from Fort Co
rn bus, N. Y,, aud Fortress Monroe,
,irived thifc morning, fti;d are um
it-r the immediate command of
en. Hancock. As the troops from
Columbus marched from Presideu'

One of the Noldiers Was Struck.
This assault was apparently unheeded,
as the men marched on without halting.
It is said the assailant was promptly ar
rested by the police. .
Cumberland, Md., July 22.—The stri
kers, supported by the boatmen, are
bold and defiant and threaten serious
work should the company attempt to
move the cars to-night. •
Baltimore, July 22.—A portion of
General Hancock’s command has been
ordered to Cumberland.
Pittsburg, July 22, 11, a. m.—The
outer depot yards of the Pennsylvania
Railroad have been abandoned by all
the troops. The Philadelphia men went
out Pennsylvania Avenue and the Pitts
burg battery boys spiked their guns and
came down to the Union Depot, and the
mob have things their own way.
The round house aud shops, together
with the engines and a number of cars,
were entirely destroyed by fire. It is
reported that about twenty were killed
and a number wounded.
Port Jervis, July 22.—Things look
serious here.
Washington, July 22. —The Cabinet
was in full extra session at the State De
partment this p. m. Two companies of
artillery equipped as infantry arrived
here from Fortress Monroe. The Pow
hatan and Swatara in Hampton Roads
are preparing to come hither.
Pittsburg, July 22. —All the ?3rs be
tween Twenty-eighth and Thirtieth i
streets were burned. Fully 250 oars
were burned. At daylight the rioters
got the captured guns in position and
fired one shot, when the soldiers iu the
round house opened tire, covering the
guns with musketry and
Drove the llunner* From the Cannon.
Two were killed and several wounded
before the cannon were abandoned. The
machine shops between Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-sixth streets were burned. The
soldiers salliod from the round honse
but were driven back. The soldiers
then formed in a solid column, came
out through the lumber yard and went
down Twenty-fifth to Liberty street,
with the Gstjmg gun in front, and made
for Alleghany Arsenal. When they ar
rived at tbe Arsenal ifle United States
troop* on guard refused teem admit
tance. Lett exposed, the Philadelphia
troops turned tlmir Gatling gun ou the
crowd, killing thirty, mostly strikers
and citizens. The ronud honse, con
taining seventy freight engines, and the
machine shop, was eutirely destroyed
by fire. The estimated damage to the
railroad property is $2,000,000.
• WaUK><W, July 22.—The Cabinet
had a prolonged Apnsnltation at the
Stale Department day. All were
present except Schurz.
eral Townsend was called in. The autor
ject under discussion was the feasibility
of the Federal Goyerument taking ac
tive charge of the present railroad
troubles, as interrupting the feajflg apd
traffic. The dominant idea in Execu
tive circles seems to be that the control
of the strike has passed into tho hands
of thieves aud inaeudiaries. The desti
nation of the Powbattsn*ud Swatara has
been changed to Baltimore,
The Government has ordered troops
from Columbus to Pittsburg, and from 1
St. Louis to Indianapolis, for the pro
tection of theArseuals. Au extraordinary
confusion exists. Thieves, strikers.

to-day was, its understood, utterly un
able to make any suggestion by which
the disorder might be compromised.

have squandered thz sovereignty which
they took from the States.
Firfi#UßG, July 22.—The cnaia )f the
railway strike fry this city, as indicated
ip these dispatch** Saturday night, was
reached yesterday about £ o’clock, p.
m.. whcaa the Philadelphia troops, who
had been aet* here to suppress the stri
kers, fired upon ttv# crowd. The terri
bly fatal effects of ahoto fij#i by the
troops exasperated citizens as well
as strikers, aud in less than an
hoar a band of werfeingmen from
the railing mills, ooid mince and
various manufacturing establishments
established a scene of conflict, determin
ed to have revenge on the troops and
railroad officials, ft was stated that
Gen. Pearson, commander of the Sixth
Division of the State Guards, had direc
ted the troops to fire
Before Asy BeeUtanre Had Bees V*4*.
Anri the fact that many of those
killed aud wouuded bad gathered
on the hill-side merely as spectators,
served to increase the bitterness of
the crowd. By eight o’clock in the
evening mobs were moving about tbe
city in various directions, sacking
stores to secure arms, breaking into
armories of the military companies and
preparing themselves to execute the
threats, freely expressed, of massacreing
the entire Philadelphia command. By
this time the military had withdrawn
from the railroad crossing at Twenty
eighth street, where the first conflict
took place, and were ordered to
one of the round houses, where
they could find better protection. About
ten o’clock in the evening a mob num
bering several thousands had Congre
gated about the round house. They
had previously captured the guns be
longing to Hutchinson’s Battery, a local
organization, and planted them so as to
command the round house. Several
solid shots were fired at the building
and a breach made in the walls. But
when the infuriated mob attempted to
rush into the building the military
were ordered to fire. The volley
of musketry which followed, and tbe
rumor that the Gatling guns of the
command were being brought into re
quisition, caused a panic, and the mob
fled precipitately for several squares—
the military meanwhile keeping up
firing. The rioters, however, were soon
reassured, and, as Ihoujßfds were flock
ing to their assistance, they returned to
the attack. Finding it difficult to
dislodge the military from the
building they resolved to burn them
out. An order to this effect was
issued and it was carried into exe
cution with a fiendish alacrity, by the
rioters. In consequence of the blockade
which bas existed for two days the
siding in the outer depot yard, as well
as those extending eastward, some three
or four miles, were crowded with freight
cars filled with grain, produce and mer
chandise of all kinds, besides
which a number of hardened oil
cake and coal cars were piled
up in a mass. While a por
tion of the mob surrounded the
building iu which the military had
taken refuge, large bodies proceeded to
set fire to the oil cars, and iu a moment
the huge volumes of black smoke which
rolled upwards in every direction told
that the work of destruction had com
menced. The sight of the flames seemed
to literally craze the rioters, some of
whom rushed wil4(y about with.flam
ing torches iu their hands, applying
them to cars indiscriminately. Au
alarm was sounded and the department
promptly responded, but tho rioters, who
hail complete control of the city,refused
to permit them to go or make any effort
to extinguish the flames. They said they
were determined to destroy the railroad
company’s property, but to do no in
jury to that Uelqugipg t H private citi
zens. They kept their word, too, aud
when a lumberpile belonging to a citizen
took fire, the rioters themselves turned
iu and helped tq eftingujsh the flames,
find remove the lumbei' to a safe place.
Train after train was fired by the infuri
ated crowd, but the cars were so far dis
tant from the round- houses that the
heat didn’t seriously affect the military,
although the position w a s opp qf peril.
Fiually a largpparty ofstrikers captured
a pqr fiijed with ooke, which they ran
from Ulv Alleghany Valley Railroad
track to 8 siding connecting with
the Pennsylvania Railroad. They
then procured large quantities of petro
leum oil, and pouring it over the coke
ignited the matetdela aud in S yery few
moments the car was a mass pf fire and
it was then pushed along the tracks and
forced against the round bouse. The
building was soou ignited &Bd tbe sol
diers were now oompelled to prepare to
fight their way out through tbe frenzied
mass of humanity clamoring for their
blood. The building did not burn
as rapidly as was desired and the mob,
bent ou (revpnge, rushed out to the road
and sent burning t/jjns towards the
doomed building. From midnight ,?r n ‘
til 5 o’clock this a. m. the main efforts
of the crowd were directed to firing
buddings and cars; But about half an
hour later the ffiob, whioh had been be
sieging the military, l#ft fgj: some unex
plained reason. This afforded the
troops, who were in actual danger of
being
Roasted Alive,
An opportunity to emerge from the
building, and they succeeded iu reach
ing Liberty street in a very few mo
ments. They quickly formed in line,
and marubed up to Thirty-third street,
and thence to Pennsylvania avenue and
Butler street. Their objective point
was the United States Arsenal, on But
ler street, where they expected to gain
shelter. turning into Butler
street, the leaders had
discovered their reiteia, fully
1.000, fully armed and supplied,
with ammunition, followed in pur
suit. Some of tfee troops fired at
citizens either accidentally or intention
ally, as they were moving along, and
this added fury to tbe cry for revenge.
When they reached the arsenal the com
mandant refused to admit them. He
said he had but ten men, and would be
powerless to hold the place if the mob
should attack it. He consented, how
ever, to tafce .care of the wounded, and
they were accordingly in to the
hospitals. The main body pf the
troops continued their march opt-
Butler street, a fusilade being kept
upon them by the rQOb as they moved
forward. The shots fired killed one of
the soldiers before they reached the ar
senal, pud pearly opposite the cemetery

their flight and UfWn. s d.V”,ep to t)ie north
sideof the *illeghauy riyey on Sharps-,

rapidly as possible. After reaching the
north side the troops scattered, and in
this way the mob was divided in
to very small bodies. In the mean
tuuo tin; city was in a state of anarchy.
Thousands 'who not joined iu the
pursuit of the fleeing truOp£ gathered
about the burning buildings auS' trains
and assisted in spreading the flames

Bnt even ten iflimense loss which will be
sustained in this item is but a trifle in
the aggregate damage done. The scenes
transpiring on Liberty street, along
the line of which the tracks of
thp j-ailroad runs, simply beggars
description, gjigdreds were engag
ed in firing earn u 4 ffl&fcing certain
of destruction valuable buildings t tfie

sledges wonld break open the cars, and

and cprriud off by those bent on profit
ing by tbp r'eigu terror existing.—
The street -was .completely
blockaded by persons l&bumg W pa/ry
off plunder they had gathered-togethet.
In hundreds of instances wagons were
pressed into service to enable thieves to
get away with their goods. Mayor Mc-
Carthy,’ early iu tfre day, endeavored to
stop the pillage bat thphsudrui of men at
his command were unable to control the
crowd, who were desperate in their anx
iety to secure the goods. The pillage
was checked but the mob fired the cars
and then proceeded with the work of
destruction. It is impossible to form
any of tfie amount of goods
stolen, but hundreds of thousands will
not cover the loss. 1 gome of th aaepes,
notwithstanding the terror which seem
ed to psfalyjte peaceable ana orderly
citizens, wofe ludicrous iu the highest
degree, and no ofie“seemed po enjoy
them with greater asst than those en
gaged in wholesale plunder. Here a
brawny woman oould be seen hurrying
away with pairs of white kid slippers
under her arms, another carrying
an infant would be rolling a barrel
of flour along the aidewalk using
her feet as the propelling power. Here
a man pushed a wheelbarrow loaded
with lead. Boys hurried through the
crowds with large sized family Bibles
as their
Share os th(t Plssdsr.
While soores of females utilised aprons,
and dresses to carry flour, eggs, dry
goods, etc. gaudies of umbrellas, fancy
parasols, hams, bacon, leaf lard, calico,
blankets, laces and flour were {nixed
together is the arms of men, or
carried on hastily eonstrnefed hand
barrows. At 11 o’clock in the
morning it became apparent that some
thing mast be done to check the mob,
and a number of citizens hurriedly pre
pared notices calling a mass meeting of
at old City Hall to take meas
ures to prevent farther destruction of
property. The meeting was held at noon
and committees appointed. The com
mittee fca wait on the rioters fail
ed to induce Mmsp tp refrain from
farther destruction of property
and the railroad authorities could
not be fonnd. Frdm the time, the
military fled, np to 3, p. m. ,' no efforts
bad been made to check the riot other
than the meeting of citizens referred to.
The mob worked very qnietly, and it
was a npticesjjfe fayt that few of the
railroad e.ipplpyeep yere engaged in the
work of destruction. Here apfi there a
man wfio had been discharged might
have been seen leading a crowd,
but generally the ringleaders were
men who had never been em
ployed on any railroad. Many half
grown boys "were foremost in the
work of devastation. At 3.30 a burning
oar was run down the grade under the
sheds snrronnding the Union Depot. Up
to this time it was hoped that the bnild
ing would escape, but the masses of pine
lumber used in tbe ahedding over the
tracks were soon a sea of fire. While
the fire was raging here the mob pil
laged tbe freight depot of the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad,
which is in close vicinity. Boxes of
freight received for shipment were
broken open and valnable contents car
ried off. After plundering the depot for
an hoar, and when floor, hams, and all
kinds of provisions had been carried
away, the torch was applied, and soon
the vast depot and the company’s gen
eral offices adjoining were
A Mass ot Flame*.
The Union depot was a large four
story building. It had a front
age on Liberty street of about seventy
feet, and extended back about 200.
The lower floor was used as waiting
rooms, ticket offices and the company’s
offices. The upper floor was occupied
by the Key Stone Hotel Company, and
was one of the finest houses in this city.
The whole building was in modern style
of architectnre, and was considered one
of tbe best arranged depots in the coun
try, and was finished about seven years
since. In the rear of tbe depot and ex
tending back 500 feet were lines of
neat pine sheds covering tho different
tracks to protect passengers from the
weather. It was under these the burn
ing car was ruu. The freight depot of
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis
Railroad was a large shed, built front
ing on Grant street, and extending from
Washington street to Seventh avenue.
The company’s general offices were a
four story brick building, fronting on
Seventh avenue. These were totally
destroyed, as was also the depot of
Adams’ Express Company, located on
Grant street.
The books and valuable papers had
been removed from the Union depot
offices, as well as from the other build
ings, before the fire reached them. The
fire department of tbe city continued
on duty from the time of the first alarm,
but were not allowed to throw aDy
water on or make efforts to save the
property of the railroad company.
They consequently directed their efforts
to saving private property on the north
side of Liberty street, in, the city. In
this they were mainly successful, although
six dwellings and a sash factory situate
ed near the round houses were destroy
ed. Early in the day,- when the Union
depot was fired followed by the Pan
Handle offices, a
Panic Seized tlie Citizens*
Who had, up to this time, calmly folded
their arms and looked ou. It was fear
ed that the conflagration would sweep
that entire portion of the city south of
the Pan Handle Railroad tracks,
as many of the buildings were
small frames and as dry as tinder.
At this juncture the fire department of
Alleghany, which had been held in
readiness in case of au outbreak on that
side of the river, was summoned to as
sist ip staying the progress of the
flames. The Pan Handle Railroad
building was the last one in the line,
and the Alleghany department was
placed on Seventh avenue to check the
prqgress of the flames in that direction.
When this last building was fired the
whole territory between Seventh avenue
and Millville station, a distance of three
miles, was a mass of flames,

The strikers have just set fire to an oil

Philadelphia.*
WAgHiNGtofl, July 23. —The Federal
Government, in a feeble kind of way, is
moving troops’hither and thither, main
ly with the yiew qf bringing them with
in protecting distance of the capital. It
is in no present danger, but there is no
doubt that it is hideously exposed and
that there are many millions in it. The
following curiously involved sentence,
which is official, gives the idea : It is
not the purpose of the Government to
use United States troops to merely pro
tect railroad property or to insure the
Safe Transportation of the Moil*,
Except incidentally while protecting its
own property. It )s understood that
General Sherman and Lieutenant-Gen
eral Sheridan will fee calleff at opce from
the West. The Cabinet agreed to issue
a proclamation to tfle Pennsylvania
rioters. General Hancock has been or
dered tp assume personal command of
Pennsylvania, General Schofield, from
West Point, bas been ordered to report

Pittsburg, July 23. —The citizens,
early in the day, effected an organiza

restored the oontrol pf tfie tow* l to its
municipal authorities. They have in
vited fugitive Philadelphia soldiers to
return, assuring them of protection.
Headed by the Mayor, the citizens
marched to tbe wharf and prevented ac
cessions to the thieves from the river.
The disorderly element should not now
be called “atrikers,” because the real
strikers are rendering effective aid to the
municinal authorities in maintaining or
der. the Mayor has possession of the
cannon and moat of the arms used by
the mob, and the reign of terror may be
regarded as over.
New York, July 23.—The exciting ad
vices In regard to the strikers and the
already large destruction of railroad
property, had a demoralizing influence
on the stock market this morning.
Prices opened at a decline of 1 to 2|o.
as compared with Saturday’s figures,and
subsequently made a still farther break
of Ito 4c. Great excitement prevailed
aud transactions were on a large scale,
every stock on the list suffering more or
less decline. At one o’clock prices show
ed a recovery of J to l[c., bnt the mar
ket is feverish in tone.
Washington, July- 23.—The Niagara
Division of the Erie Railroad struck.
No trains are running on the Lake Shore
east of Toledo, Ohio. The strikers in
Philadelphia are kept under control by
the police. Four hundred regulars un
der command of General Hancock are
there. Ten thousand dollars reward

Lebanon Valley bridge at Reading last
night.
Indianapolis and St. Lonis Road also
struck. This strike includes firemen,
brakemen, section men and machinists.
No stock was shipped east from Bnffalo
to-day. The strikers took the hands
from the New York Central train and
unloaded stock. The Lake Shore and
Erie yards and shops closed.
The New York Central men are not on
a strike at Bnffalo, but can do nothing.
There is much drunkenness. It is
feared that Buffalo will share Pittsburg’s
fate.
The excitement in New Jersey is in
creasing. The State authorities have
ordered troops to be in readiness.
Affairs in Hornellsville, N. Y., are un
changed.
The employees of the Transit Com
pany at St. Lonis have struck. The
proclamation of the Mayor of Pittebnrg
virtually places that city under martial
law.
Gen. Getty has been ordered from
Fortress Monroe to take command of
troops in Maryland. •
The St. Louis, Iron Mountain aud
Southern Railroad does not yet connect
with the Union depot at St. Lonis, bnt

of the city. Everything is qniet on that
road and business is progressing iu the
regular way.
The machine shops at Terre Haute
are closed.
Passenger trains from Cincinnati de
part in all direction, bat freight trains
move only on the Kentucky Central and
Louisville Short Line. At Columbus,

All workmen in Zanesville, Ohio, quit

Bui falo, July 23, 7, p. m.—The mob,
reinforced by large numbers, called at
the car shop of the Lake Shore and Erie
Companies and ordered all the workmen
there to quit, whioh they did forthwith.
No serious demonstrations are as yet
being made. About 4 o’clock this after
noon a Buffalo and Jameston train,
which leaves the Erie depot, on arriving
at the Compromise Crossing, two miles
from the depot, had a passenger coach
detached and shoved on the Central
track and the-fireman was forcibly taken
from the engine. Superintendent Doyle,
who was on the train, remonstrated with
the strikers, stating there had been no
reduction of wages on their road, nor
had tl;ere bppn any sinpe its inaugura
tion. The effect of this statement was
the bringing back of the ooach by the
strikers, who coupled it ou and assured
the Superintendent that nothing should
be done in any way to interfere with
the working of his road,
Early iu the afternoon an assault was
made by nearly two thousand rioters on
about two hundred soldiers, who were
guarding the Lake Shore round house.
The military were obliged to leave the
building, which is now barricaded by
the mob, who have plaoed cats in posi
tion as defense against an attack. Col.

Louuvillf, July 25, 12:20, p. m.—
Seven hundred militia, many of them
influential and worthy citizens, are pn
duty around with guns and pistols. The
polioe number 175 men. Business honses
are closing and storekeepers are pre
paring to join the militia. The very
worst elements are mixed in with the
idlers who began the trouble. Mayor
Jacobs has issued orders to trifle with
none, and to use prompt and effective
measures to suppress the leasticdications
of violence or talk thereof. The excite
ment continues great and it is thought
no tronble will occur during the day but
to-night may bring about serious con
sequences. The Mayor has ordered all
the liquor stores to close.
The Police and Mob Have a Collision.
Chicago, July 25.—A mob came in
contact, with the police on Twenty
second street. The latter being assail
ed with stones and stick#, fired their re
volvers over the heads of the crowd and
for the time quelled the disturbance.
The police have been reinforced and
will “ clean out ” the rioters. A por
tion of the m<*b went this morning to E.
W. Blatchford’s white lead and oil
works, on Fulton and Green streets,
where two hundred men were employed,
and ordered the place .closed. This
being refused, they began stoning the
building, breaking windows and com
mitting other depredations.
Fearful State of Affairs in St. Louis.
St. Louis, July 25, 1:10, p. m.—The
gravity of the situation was not lessened
here to-day. At 9 o’clock this a. m.,
1,500 men assembled in Lucas market
placp, around a stand erected by the
Workingmen’s party, while 2,000 or
3,000 spectators gathered in the vicinity.
The crowd was made up mostly of wire
workers, who have struck, and strikers
from other manufacturing establish
ments. At 10 o’clock they formed in
column and marched past the City Hall
to Turner Hall, where the Executive
Committee of the Workingmen’s party
was in session. Half an hour later a body
of 500, made up chiefly of negroes, was
sent to the levee and marched its
length for the purpose of inducing the
rousabouts to join them. The stri
kers say they are to receive explicit
orders from hour to hour end expect to
stop all manufacturing establishments
before night. The only passenger train
which passed East over the bridge this
morning was the Toledo, Wabash and
Western. The strikers are making an
exception in favor of that road because of
its position towards its employees in the
past. On the other roads only postal
cars are allowed to leave. The Missouri
Pacific machine shops and freight de
pots and yards are closed and none of
the men are at work. They told the of
ficers of the road this morning that they
were satisfied to work, but it would only
precipitate an attack and general trouble
with the strikers. The position of the
men was approved by the company, and
the shops and depots were closed by
mutual consent. The company sent out
three or four freight trains between one
and five o’clock this morning, but
it is not likely they will start
any more for the present. A
delegation of strikers from the city
visited Cheltenham, four miles west of
this city, and ordered the men out of the
smelting and fire clay works. They of
fered their employers to continue work
if protected. A request} was sent to po
lice headquarters for a detail of police,
but it was refused. The police force is
on duty at the station places, and the
city is "almost entirely unpatroled. The
force is kept in reserve, to be used only
when the strikers resort to violence or a
mob is formed. Another urgent re
quest for a detail was received from the
officers of the Union Street Railway,
an important line whieh runs frOm
Fourth street to the Fair Grounds.
The employes have notified that
company that unless the recent
cut of ten per cent, is restored they
will strike at 12 o’clock to-day, and
stop the cars. Fears are entertained for
the safety of property. The police were
instraoted tq‘ he ih readiness to march
to the stables upon the commission of
any overt act, hv|t not before. A large
body of men and boys employed at the
beef canning works paraded this morn
ing, hearing a hapeer with the inscrip
tion: “JBeef eanners'solid strike. Fair
dealing is our motto.” General A. J.
Smith, at the head of the citizens’ or
ganization for the protection of proper
ty, has his headquarters and a large
staff at the Four Courts. Meetings were
held this evening in nearly all the wards

Cincinnati, July 2(s.—The city is
quiet. There are favorable sigus of or

aotion of railroad employees in tender

property and secure the moving of pass
enger trains, had a fine effect.
Chicago, July 25.— Themof> was yak

engaged in running street ears into the
stables op the South Side as fast as they
oome in. The railroads are in statu quo
with passenger trains and mails run
ning except in a few cases. Many
who were compelled to quit work
yesterday, have gone back to-day.
The North Side mob is the most
disorderly, and is busy breaking win
dows wherever resisted. The Pbtaaix
Distillery feas hepn seized by them, a
the proprietors called for United Stand
troops. The strikers drove the poltes
back from the north side and the rolling
miles,and they were compelled to return
to the station. Some sailors struck last
night, but this movement met with little
success.
Atjdenbeid, Pa., July 25.—The Bea

Tlie Trial* of Newspaper Men.
Rev. DeWitt Talmage said recently
in one of his sermons: Onp of the
greatest trials of the newspaper profes
sion is that its members are compelled
to see more of the shams of tbe world
than any other profession. Through
every newspaper office, day after day,
go all the weaknesses of the world; all
the vanities that want to be puffed; all
the revenges that wapf to be reaped; all
the mistakes that want tk be corrected; all
the dull speakers wfio want to be
thought eloquent; all the meanness that
wants to get its wares noticed gratis in
the editorial oolnmns in order to save
the tax of the adjeriising oolnmns; all
the men who want to be set right who
were never right; all the cracked brained
philosophers with stories as long as
their hair, and as gloomy as their finger
nails in mourning because bereft of
soap—all the bores who come to stay
five minutes, bnt talk five hours.
Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms all the follies and sham? of the
world are seen day dSJi n d the
temptation is to believe in neither God,
man nor woman. It is no surprise to
me that in this profession there are
some skeptical men; I only wonder that
jonrsaUsts believe anything.
Yon always get Dooley’s pow
