THE GREAT RIoTs.-Last Friday the fire.
men and other employees of the Bait. &
Ohio r. r. got mad because the Co. cut
down their wages from 81 to 90 cts, and
joined together at Martinsburg, West Vir-
ginia, and prevented the running of freight
trains. In a short time the employees in
Baltimore did the same thing. This lead
to riot in the streets of that city. Over
twenty persons were killed and large
quantity of railroad property was burned.
The rioters filled the streets to the number
of 10000 and drove the militia before them
as they advanced. Their temporary sue
cess inspired other railroad employees, es-
pecially those of the Pennsylvania road,
who assembled at Pittsburg on Saturday
and took possession of the city. All freight
trains were stopped there, until or 4 miles
of cars, loaded with grain, produce and
merchandise were on the tracks. The mob
burned all these, after robbing them. All
the railroad buildings were also burned,
including some of the finest in the United
States. On Sunday morning the sight was
an awful one The grand depot, shops and
engine house were in ashes, together with
20 engines and about 25O loaded cars. 80
persons were killed and hundreds were
wounded. The loss is over S3,00O,0OO. 1t
is said that three quarters of q mile of rail
road buildings were burned. The Phila.
soldiers quartered in the buildings and the
mob fired them for that reason. The sol.
diers had to retreat to keep from being
burned up. The news spread and as they
went over the country ten other railroad
companies in the west were threatened
by the strikers. The calamity is fearful.
Commerce has been blocked goods by the
hundred car loads have been burned OF
stolen; merchants have been bankrupt and
thousands of law-abiding workmen have
been thrown out of work.
As we 60 to press, however, the news is
more encouraging. U. S. troops have been
thrown into Pittsburg and Baltimore, and
all rioting has been suppressed. But in
Chicago, Buffalo, and one or two Other
cities the strikers were stopping work, with
out showing much disposition to riot. Any
attempt at disorder is now likely to cause
summary punishment to be visited upor
the rioters. The people have become tho
roughly aroused against the outlaws.
If the workmen had been law-abidin.
in their strike they would have had publi
sentiment on their side, but by getting
tramps, burglars, and what-not to come il
with them and apply the torch and plum
der the cars, they have aroused the who'll
country against themselves.
