By this time the military bed withdrawn from the railroad oroeslng at Twenty- eighth street, where the Inst oonfiiot took plaoe. end were ordered’ to one of tho ronnd houaes, whore they otwld find bet ter protection. 1 About ten o'olook in’the evening n mob, numbering several thousand, bed congre gated about the ronnd house. They bed lrevloaaly captured the gone belonging to latohinsOnV battery, a loosl organisa tion, and planted them so as to eommend the ronnd house. Several solid shots were fired at the building end s braeoh made in the wells; bnt when the Infuri ated mob attempted to rash on tho build ing the military were ordered to fire. The volley of musketry whieh followed, nod the rumor that the Gstlln gone of tho company won being brought ioto requisition, oauaed a panio in the mob, whioh fled preoipltately for several squares. The military, mMnwhll*, kept bp firing. The rioters, however, were soon reassured, end m thousands wan Hooking to tboir assistance, they returned to the attaok. . Finding it diffioult to dis lodge th* military from the building, they olved to burn them ont. An order to effeet was isgned, end it wm earned into effeot with a fiendish alacrity by tho rioters. In onEMqnsBB* of tha blockade, whioh had existed for two days, th* siding in tbs outer depot yard, m well as those ex- resol this «fjSrS38dfa«?T!bf,!B filled with grain and produce of ell kinds. A number of ledenad oil, ooke and oosi rs were piled np in e mass. While a irtlon of the mob earroanded the bulld og in whieh the military bad taken ref- age, large bodiM proceeded to set fire to the oil oars, and in a moment tbs •bog* volumes of black smoke, whioh rolled up wards out in ever; direotlon, told the work of destruction had eommenoad. The sight of the flames seamed to liter' Elly oraze the rioters, soma of whom rush ed wildly about with flaming torches in their hands, applying them to oars. They kept their word, too, and whan s lumber pile belonging to a oitiEon took fire, the rioters themselves turned in and helped p extinguish the flames and remove tbs lumber to a safe place. Train after train wm fired by the iafa listed orowd, bnt the ears wars so far dto tent from tho ronnd booses that tha heat didn't seriously effeot the military, al though their position wm one of ponl. Finally* large part; of strikers cap tured- a ear filled with coke, whieh they ran from the Alleghany Valley Railroad track to a aidiog connecting with the Pennsylvania Railroad. They then pro cured large quantities of petroleum oils, pouring it over the ooke, snd ignited the materials. In a very few momenta the ear was s mass of firs, and it wm than pushed along the tracks and' forced against the ronnd houM. The bnildlog wm soon ignited and the soldiers wars now eompelled to prepare to fight thair way ont through the frenzied nw of hu manity, clamoring for their blood. The building did not bora ss rapidly M wm desired, and the mob, bent on revenge, rushed out to fhe road and sent burning trains towards the doomed ballding. From midnight until 5 o'olook this morning the main efforts of tha orowd were directed to firing buildings and ears, bnt about half an our later tbe mob whiob bed been beseiging the military left for some unexplained reason. This afforded the troops, who were in eotnal danger of being roosted alive, an opportunity to emerge from the building, snd they sue oeeded in reaching Liberty street. In ■ very few moments they quickly formed In line and marched op to 88rd street, snd thenoe to Pednsylvsnl* avenue end But ler street.

While turning into Butler street, however, th* leaden had discovered their retreat, snd fully one thousand, wall armed snd supplied with ammunition, followed in pnrsnit Borne of tbe troops fired st the eitizens, either aeoidentally or intentionally, m they were moving along, and this added fury to the ory for reveoge. When they reached the arsenal, tbe oommender refused to admit them. He said he bad bnt ten men, and would be powerless to hold tha plaoe, if the mob should attaok it. He oonsented, however, to take oara of the wonnded, and they were accordingly ear ned'in the hospitals. The main body ot troops oontinued tboir maroh ont Butler street, e fusilada being kept up on them by the mob as they moved forward. The ■hols fired killed oue of tha soldiers be fore they reached the araenel snd nearly opposite the oemetery gate. Fully e mile above the arsenal, two others were killed and were left lying on the aide walk.
