minated in fearful scenes of bloodshed, fire and
pillage, on the night Of the 21st, and up to
late hour of the 22d, during which interval
the entire city was at the mercy OF mob
estimated to number $4,000. men. The out
break grew out ofthe arrival Of the SPhiladel-
phla militia late in the evening of the Dist,
when the moblattacked them and forced them
into the round house for shelter, after killing
) sheriff Fife and badly wounding Gen. Brenton
commanding the militia. That night and
next day, over 5000 cars laden with merchan.
disc, and railroad buildings. covering twenty
blocks were destroyed. The soldiers being
driven !; from the. round house which was
burned over their heads, sought safety by
fight Late on the afternoon of the ed the
citizens formed vigilance committees and
guarded the town all night ahd restored com
parative order In Baltimore. strong guards
OF military and police patrolled the city and

From small beginnings, the railroad
employees strike has assumed mammoth
proportions and today is more or less effec-
tually in force in every State from the Missis-
sippi to the ssaboard., Factory workmcn
miners and laborers in most of the large cities
arein full sympathy with the strikers and in
many'casesy are giving thctlatter material and
assistance. There is, however, among the
majority OF the: strikers manifest indisposi
tlon TO resortstos violencer the terrible scenes
enacted at Pittsburgh and Baltimore having
in this respect at least, borne good fruit.
