men, and stopped at the Bergen turn out As soon
Us the troops had refreshed themselves the order

horse, formed the west side of the train in which
I order they moved slowly forward at the word of
! command. While these preparations had been
| going on, the mob had all the time been catherine
strength and boldness and, at the approach of the
| traln, with the two cannon gaping upon them from
the platform car instead of scattering to their re
treats, as some predicted they would do they set
up a defiant howl, and moved toward the train

! whole scene and were occupied by spectators some
hVe thousand in number. The roofs of the slaugh-
ter-house, and of the shanty near the scene of the
ulsturpance, were also covered with men and bows,
VINO mad clambered up to get q good view of the
| proceedings.
The rioters brandished their clubs. and shouted
to each other to "Come on" One of the party had
sword IN his hand with which he fourished def
| ance to the enemy, and beckoned on his forces
The locomotive had now reached the main body of
| the rioters, when the priest stepped forward and

| ever, was the signal for q universal vell which
| soon drowned his voice. The force then moved
| slowly forward but the rioters threw themselves
IN front ot the locomotive, tossing bars of railroad
iron across the track and blocking the wheels with
couplings and heavy stones uttcring all the time
| the most terrible threats against any one who
! should attempt to remove them. Mr.. Taylor and
Mayor Collard, with the assistance of some of the
| police, began to throw the Obstructions off the
track, when a squabble took place, and several
! blows were struck by the rioters Mr.. Pease, a
| policeman, received heavy blow from club,
winch cut open his right eyebrow, and for a mo-
ment appeared to stun him. The blood flowed
down his face and for instant a bloody scene ap-
! peared imminent.
The rioters, however, got the ADVANTAGE the
| military making no demonstrations to force them
| away In fact, the presence of so many spectator
| rendered it impossible to charge, or fire upon Il
mob, without shooting them also. After some
teen minutes spent in this way, the military marcn-
| ed ahead of the locomotive leaving a space of
| thirty or forty feet, which the rioters instantly
occupied, throwing back the iron rails and rocks
| which had been removed moment before. One
| man, who had ventured to assist in taking some
! thlng from the track, chased up the bank and
! the last seen of him he running for dear life,
| with some half dozen men in pursuit.
The troops now faced about and closed up the
space between themselves and the locomotive, when
| the mob began to harangue them upon the injus-
| tice of keeping them out of their money.
Brown, one of the bosses, now mounted the plat
form car, and, taking off his hat addressed his fell
low workmen, repeating the old story about Sey-
mour, which produced no result. The Sherffthen
| tried what he could do, telling the men they would
be paid. He concluded by asking them if MIR. Sey-
mour himself should appear there, and promise
to pay them on the first ofthe month"; they would
| be satisfied. "No no. cried hundred voices
| "We wouldn't trust him for the price of a box of
matches" "But you can have all you want out of
the store" said the Sheriff 'We want our
money" cried the mob with an oath The loco
motive now backed down, leaving the platform and
guns in front The mob followed up, and threw
obstructons on the track Mr.. Taylor appealed to
the citizens to volunteer to assist him to take the
distractions Off No respOnded-the service
was too hazardous. Big rocks were rolled upon
the track-the rioters had possession, and the
troops were ordered to retire.
