THE RAILROAD RIOTS AT ERIE.
,rre,,>rdenee Of The N. Y. Tribr1s

Core,,.rdepee Of The n Y. Tribu,s.
ERIE, Pa, Saturday, Jan. 10, 1883.
At day break this morning, in spite of driving
storm Of seet and cutting north west wind, the
forces Of the railroad mustered and proceeded 70
Harbor Creek to epair the damage done by the mcb
on MONDAY last Marshal KeJ ser and aids acconps-
MED them 10 protect and aid and al this hour the
rails are sgain laid and the trains can pass. No re-
sstarce was expected, and none wac met with; but
things did look equally, when the officers OF the town
shIp came upon the ground, about 10 AN, and de-
manded TO know by whose authority tCese things were
DONE The mob that had 80 long been ready at the
nod of these men TO tear up the track and burn the
bridges were just resdy, at their beck to pelt the
men who were work at the repairs with stones, or
adopt any other course that might be suggested Ihey
regarded Ga an invasion Of the town, and were just
az earnest as men grounded in are. Happily the
gentlemen satisfied with Marshal heyser pa
pers, and counseed peace and not war submission,
for the time and not violence happly, say, Tor
the Court had sent man TO do the work, and
any attack the force engaged in repairs. would
have resulted in boOdshed. The employees of the
Company have been bounded abused called hard
names and revileo by the mob, and held in check by
their own officer until they are fairly boiling over;
and the Marshal command TO repair ana MAINTAIN
"sganst any and all opposers, the track OF THIS
roed seemed TO them license 10 break the heads
of The rioters
The day has worn away, however without any
outbreak. The road is again passable. Buckeye and
HoOsier send their hogs, beet, pork, hour,
&c. to Nes-York, and go himself, without pay
ing toll TO Pennsy lvania.
How lopg this state of things will last is uncertain
ore thing only be ended viz that no more
disturbance need be appr-sended until after the 7th
of March at which date the protectoraie estabhshe1
by the Court expires. The road will be altered with.
in that time az ordered by decree Of the Court but
that is 70 security for its safety The determination
Of Erie az strong to drive the roads from
their PREF location and there is too much truth IN
The declaration heard in the Court House, from the
lips of one of their speakers. He told them to keep
still till the Marshal hsd discharged his duty AMI
pcns "and then" said he, " 1t will be our turn
" There are thousand ways, a. yet untred, TO har-
"rass and interrupt the road until We drive them to
80 our terms.

Mar.hal Keyser; and you have, no doubt, copies Oh
