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

the ronnd house. Several solid shots
were fired at the building end s braeoh
made in the wells; bnt when the Infuri

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

whioh fled preoipltately for several

Hooking to tboir assistance, they returned

A number of ledenad oil, ooke and oosi

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. Tbelr objective point wm tha
U. 8. arsenal «n BoUar street, where they
expected lo gain shelter. 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. They oontinued their flight, and
crossed over to tbe north side ot tbe AUe-
ibany river on the Sharpeburg bridge,
be mob following them as rapiiy as pos
