THE ATTACK.

AND SUBSEQUENT ARRESTS.
P1TTsBuRG, July 2S.-As a train loaded with
troops passed Johnstown this morning It was
attacked By great mob. The mob was armed
with stones and pieces OF metal, which we're
thrown at the windows Of the cars with telling
effect Volley after volley was poured INTO the
train, crushing windows, md iuiuring num-
ber Of the soldiers. As the train moved on
several different attacks we're made. The last
and most serious was after the train hal passed.
beyond the depot some distance. At this point
t}r3 patience Of the commanding officer, Col.
4amilton, gave way, and, reaching up, he pulled
tho bell-rope to stop the train. The engineer
and fireman were under strong guard
of soldiers, and they at once reversed the en-
giue. In oil probability this saved the lives OF
half Of those on board the train, for at point
just in trout of the train a
SWITCH HAD BEEN MISPLACED,
and a car heavily laden with flrcbrick placed
on the switch for the fast-approaching train to
ruu into and be thrown over the embankncnt.
When the train struck the switch its speed had
been greatly slackcncd; the engine, tender, and
FIVE cars, two baggage and three passenger, left
the track aud came in contact with the car Of
brick with such force that the rails and tics
were torn up. The five cars we're piled mp in q
mass, the bottom Of one car resting On the roof
Of another, and three were thrown completely
around and lay crosswi5c upon the track, with the
car OF brick crushed and splintcred. topping all.
Col. John Hamilton, Of the FIRST United States
Artillery, was seriously injured in the side, and
several soldiers we're badly bruised by the COIL
cussion. The soldiers of the wrecked train re-
mained at the siding till about O'Clock this
morning. The third section Of the train vas de-
tanned above the depot BY the wreck, aud was
several times attacked by the mob.
The soldiers OF the wrecked train threw out a
picket line and succeeded in arrcstin@ about 100
of the rioters; Of this number seventy-fivc or
more will be brought to this city With the mill
tury this evening.
TIE TROorS
which came through on the first train and ar
rived here this morning did not have any serious
trouble. At several points along the road the
strikers were out in force, but no resistance was
made to the passage OF the trains.

TERRE uAUTE.

Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune.
TERRE HAUrE, Ind, July 2s.-Thcre vaa
more excitement here to-day than perhaps since
the beginning Of the strike. In the morning a
meeting Of strikers was held, at which dis
cussion occurred concerning measures Of arbi-
tration, aud John E. Martin, President of the
Evansville s. fcrrc Haute Railway, was called
in to address tho meeting, which be did, stating
that the strike was over elsewhere and that the
mcu here could not hold out. Several Of the
men made speeches on the subject, and It
seemed as if the man were being Influenced in
the right direction, when a bombshell was
thrown into the camp by the announcement
that the Vandalia Company had posted upon
the doors Of its shops and roundhouse
the announcement that all who wished
to 70 to work should report to the heads Of the
respective departments By o'clock, and those
who did not wish to do SO could receive their
wages at the pay-car at once Indignation
famed high, and there were bitter denuncia-
tions OF this acE, as an insult to the Executive
Committee aud the men represented by it.
Speeches were made by several, who announced
the intention OF holding ou1 until the last, and
the engineers joined in the decision. The arbi-
trntion movement was completely knocked In
the head, and resolutions passed denouncing
tho action OF the Company as an insult; !;
refusing to resume work until the Is
per cent is restored: aud rcsigning all
control they may have nad over the road. They
will also discourage all attempts TO injure
the railway property, but will no longer be rc-
sponsib]e for its safe keeping.
The first regular passenger trains en-
the Vandalia passed east and west this
afternoon, aud were heavily loaded. The
engines hauling these two trains we're run BY
engineers who we're permitted by the action Of
the meeting to do so. Whether all the engi-
neers will yet strike seems to be question. The
action Of the meeting Of to-day causes the Van
dalia and indianapolis i St. Louis engineers to
quit work, unless settlement Of some kind is
made.
Special police are patrolling the city tonight,
as some danger is anticipated. Ali is quiet at
present.
