- CHICAGO, July %. Tho mob OF last
night gathered in force on the south side
this morning and renewed its depretla-
tions and acts of violence. They began
with some 1000 and swelled to q multi
tude before noon. They showed savage
bravado, and seemed fearless Of death It
self. However, when some 800 police,
under officer Rainey, charged them, they
reunited again shortly, and prepared for
another encounter at Sixteenth street and
Halsted viaduct. ~ An interchange of
shots, stones and invectives succeeded.
Then the police, being reinforced, broke
into the mob with yell that.was heard
for blocks away. The reinforcements,
consisting of new, squad of police and a
company of armed cavalry, under Col.
Agramonte, began, in conjunction with
the police, a deadly onslaught, the results
of which are imperfectly known and are
reported variously.a One report, which
was probably Exaggerated, says that
twelve are killed aud one hundred
wounded. Another says three killed and
fifty wounded. There are certainly more
than three killed. u. No names can be
learned. This broke up the mob for
time, but they soon gathered again. ,
A. gang OF the mob ran a passenger
trsinI of the track at Twentieth street
this morning, and after allowing the pas
sengers to escape, smashed the windows
Second Regiment, the mounted police,
and the regular veteran force Of Chicago,
are ON the scene OF battle. The Governor
this morning applied for United States
troops which were placed under his
orders, and by him placed under the
orders OF the Mayor OF Chicago. 4
Mounted police are pstrolling that sec
ton and allow no gatherings Of any kind.
The truth about the cannon firing seems
to be that the artillery did fire two shots,
ing but powder. The number Of casual
ties reported is large. -
At Chicago, on Wednesday, the mob
continued its visits to Misunderstanding
places and shops whore large numbers Of
men were employed, during the after
noon, and caused many to stop work,
meeting with success a. q rule. ai'g 81
The supply OF provisions at Pittsburg
and ut the Pennsylvania mines Is running
short. The supply Of coal at various
Institutions is used up.
Albany cattle dealers. get no supplies.
and beef at retail in Eastern cities has
reached 40 cts. per pound. -,
, = a strike has occurred on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, followed by riots at
Grafton and williamsburg. Governor
Mathews applied to the President for
troops, which were sent to him, and the
president issued a proclamation reciting
the facts and admonishing all good citi-
zens to refrain from unlawful proceed
ings. The strikers allowed no freight
trains TO run, but did not stop the mail
and passenger trains. They are organic
ed and determined; one body OF 500 have
fortified a position west of Martinsburg.
!, The strike, of ,brakemen, firemen and
switchmen has extended to the Erie
Railway, at Hornellsvitle, and to the
Pittsburg, TT. Wayne and Chicago, at
Pittsburg. At Baltimore, q collision has
occurred between the militia and the
street crowd. AS the Sixth Regiment,
Col. Clarence Peters, was marching from
its armory along Baltimore street to the
Camden station, to proceed to Cumber-
land, the regiment was stoned and fired
into. The regiment fired into the crowd
and ten were killed and anumber wound
ed.
Later dispatches give particulars Of the
attack on the military with stones, brick
bats, etc., and pistol shots, by which sew
eral were severely injured. The crowd
were greatly incensed at the firing Of the
military, and revenged themselves In
various ways. AT ten O'clock the dis
patcher's house, at the lower end OF the
depot, ON Camden street, was fired and
totally burned. The depot was badly
burned as far up as Barre street,. The
lamp and oil-hotise, corner Barre and
Howard Streets, was destroyed. About
half past ten an old building; formerly
used a. the stable, corner or Montgomery
ana Howard streets, was fiyed and de-
stroyed. Aboutaleven q o'clock some oars
