Railroad Ri0ts.-The employees on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have struck, in
consequence of circular issued from tho
Office of the Master of Transportation, to the
effect that thereafter, each and every car con.
tanning merchandise to be transported over the
road, should be delivered into the charge oi
the conductors sealed, and receipt taken for
the same. The issuing of this order arose
from the fact that for long time the compa-
ny has been required to pay claims for goods
lost in transportation, and this plan has been
in successful operation on the New York Cen.
trail Railroad, and also upon number of Wes-
tern roads. Attacks were made on the trains
leaving Baltimore and Martinsburg on Wed.
nesday
The trains subsequently sent out met with
various distractions, and fire arms were used
by both the military and rioters, resulting in
the death of a few persons and wounding
others.
BALTIMORE. May 3.-The Riot on the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad still continues
Last evening the e>freight trains were sent out
with military guard, three companies of
volunteers having been ordered out By the
Governor.
At Jackson's Bridge the trains were fired
at by the rieters, and the military returned
the fire briskly. One of the rioters was shot
dead, and others probably wounded. The
train then passed on.
WASHINGTON; May 80 o'clock A. M
No train bas arrived from Baltimore this
morning, though long since due here. 1t is
apprehended that the train has been thrown
from the track or obstructed by the rioters,
on the road beyond the Relay House.
BALTIMORE, May 3, Evening.-The riot
continues without abatement, and creates
much excitement throughout the city. This
morning, the train On which the military
guard that accompanied the trains started
out last evening were returning to the city,
was thrown from the track by the rioters,
and several cars demolished. Two of the
soldiers were injured, one having his leg bro
ken: Two military companies were sent out
to the Relay House this afternoon, to protect
the freight trains coming in. They have not
yet reached the city, and no tidings have been
received from them.
No further riots have taken place, and the
trains now run regularly.

Trial Of AcKim at HolltdaysJurg.-T
trial of McKim, at Hollidaysburg, fer the
murder Of Samuel I. NorcrOss, is progressing.
Though the testimony is circumstantial, it
seems to fasten guilt upon the accused in
very strong manner. McKim was seen to
leave the cars with NorcrOss at Altoona, and
was afterwards taken upon sled by coun-
tryman and carried a good distance at his
own request The stories he told to different
persons about Noreross are proved to have
been false, especially those in reference to his
means, and to his being subject to fits of in
sanity. 1t is proved that when Norcross dis
posed of his interest in lots of ground in Du
buque, that McKim was present and rec
commended him to take money instead of
draft on house in New York. 1t was after
this that McKim said Norcross had not mon
ey enough to carry him through and that he
was going to make up the balance. McKim's
flight after the murder, his being in the pos
session of large sum of money correspond
ing with that possessed by the murdered man,
and many sther circumstances, all point too
strongly towards his guilt to permit doubt
of his being the murderer.
