marched to clear the track further
down, at 7th and Penn. No sooner
were the soldiers fairly i'll the cut
than the boys and women on the
sidewalks above began peiting
them with bricks, and it was
said, fired into them with pistols.
The poor fellows below had not the
slightest chance either for defense
or ESCAPE. Fourteen of their num-
Der were wounded by brickbats, more
or less severely, before they fired u
shot. Driven to desperation they ut
last fired volley after volley into the
dense mass of humanity ahead of
them. at 7th and Penn. They adj
vanced to Penn and fired several
volleys up and down that street.
The widest CONSERVATION and con-
fusion followed the firing. Men,
women and children ran for their
lives. Ten persons, including some
valued citizens of Reading, We're
shot dead outright, while some thir-
ty were wounded, some of whom
have since died. The killed and
wounded were mostly persons who
had nothing to do with the riots at
all, and whose only offenSe was that
they were III the crowd. A Mr..
Langlott, aged about sixty years
with whom we sang from the same
hymn-book in church, the day prior,
was fatally wounded, but still lived
when we lett.
Opinions differ very much as to
the justification of the military in fir
ing into a mixed crowd without no.
tiCe, and, it was said, without or
derS from their officers; but IT is
agreed on all hands that it was 4
criminal blunder to march them
through the "cut" instead of an open
street. 1t remains to he settled up
on whom the responsibility herein
rests. We venture the general opin-
ion that il the citizens of Reading
had in time organized an effective
citizens defense, us did those of
Harrisburg, instead of sympathizing
with the mob, the destruction of
valuable property and the loss of
precious lives might have been avert

AT READING.

Little did we think when we left
home the other week, in the happi-
est possible mood, that we should be
compelled TO witness scenes of riot,
arson and bioodsheG, such as hap
pened at Reading, during our stay
there. We came TO Reading on
Wednesday evening, july 18th, and
stayed until Thursday morning the
18th. There were no signs of any
disturbance noticeable until SATURDAY.
afternoon, wnen it became manifest
ed that there was a stern brewing,
from the unrest and agitation that
was visible OH all sides. On Satur-
day night the mob began It's coward
ly work by the burning of cars, ca
booseS and by the misplacing and
fastening of switches, all near the
fine new depot of the Reading COM
pany. At midnight the substantial
bridge of the Lebanon Valley Road
spanning the Schuylkill about a mile
from the city proper. was fired by
the mob, and in few hours the
beautiful structure fell with a crash
into the water, seventy feet below.
1--WE are burning down everything" !"
was the answer received by some
citizens, who asked some roughs,
passing by, what was going ON.
Monday, following the burning of the
bridge was fearful day for Reading.
Hundreds of rOughs, not only from
Reading but from the coal regions
above, were III the city. The streets
swarmed with the dregs and scum of
humanity from all the region around.
At Seventh and Penn. where the r.
r. crosses the principle street of
the city, there was mob of at least
several thousand all the time. The
track was torn up and blockaded In
and below the city, SO that no trains
could pass. Everybody feared that
during the night the splendid new
depot, the large machine shops and
other property of the Reading COM
pany, would fall prey to the torch
of the indendiary, and that a general
attack on stores and private property
would follow.
just as night had settled on the
agitated city the 10Th Regiment N.
q. of Pa, which had arrived very
quietly from Allentown, marched in
to the city on 7tl OF r. r. Street,
from the new depot. No one seems
to have been aware of their presence
until they entered the deep cut at
9TH and Walnut streets. This cut is
aboHt square and a half long and
OF an average depth Of over twenty
feet. with houses and sidewalks over
head. These sidewalks were filled
with rioters, boys and women, and
through this trap" the military WAS

The prospects are most cheering

says the Philadelphia Times, which

The Republicans in the United

even that old sinner himself confess
es that there is nothing in it. Wait,
the Democrats are going to have.a
majority in the Senate one OF these
fine days, and then there will be
some investigating that will make
