into private police for the protection of the city

who have Joined the strikers for the purpose OF
plunder. 1t is rumored that an attempt was made
to burn the Duquesne freight depot, foot of Lib

of the citizens This depot is filed with valuable
freight, and its destruction would undoubtedly
fire that part of the city.

Special dispatch to the Enquirer.
Pittsburgh, July 22-11:9O p. m.-This evening
the striking men and the Fort Wayne Railroad
Company buried their differences, and the strik-
ers went to work like men, put the rolling stock
of the road In shape for business, and freight
trains began to move In all parts Of the yard.
Upon the receipt Of the news the men reveren.
TALLY organized prayer meeting and for time
during the exercises spectators posted in English
history called to mind the Puritan soldiers of Oil
yer Cromwell, who went into battle singing
psalms.
Religious services over, the men turned over
the arms taken from the Allegheny Armory to
Mr. W. F. Ross, Train Dispatcher, at the same time
announcing that they could be depended upon II
necessary TO quell the rioters. The announce
ment was received with intense Joy by all good
citizens, and all Allegheny drew deep sigh Of
relief. This will doubtless force the Pennsylva-
mia company to come to terms.
The fire Is completely under control. The loss
In railroad circles alone will reach six million
dollars; in private circles perhaps million. The
strikers are active members Of the Vigilance Com
mittee and the drunken mob is being success

schools and took off all there was there. Gslla'
