BALTIMORE, July 22.-This morning,
an incendiary fred train oil thirty-fiTe
or forty cars, loaded with petroleum, at
Viaduct station, short distance beyond
the city limits. The fire spread ragidlY,
and the cars Of a train on an adjoining
track also took fire. A locomotive
was sent out, and a portion of the train
not on fire drawn off, amid the jeeTs
and cries of large crowd of strikers.
Nine cars were consumed. Notwith-
standing the apparent quiet, a most
excited feeling prevails.
Four hundred regular troops, in
Guiding those from Fort Columbus,
New York, and Fortress Monroe,
arrived this morning, and are finder
the immediate command of General
Hancock. AS the troops from Fort Co
lumbUs marched from the President
street depot of the Philadelphia, Will
miDgton and Baltimore railroad up Pratt
street to the Camden depot, few stones
were thrown from the crowd on the side
walk, and one soldier struck. This assault
was apparently UNDECIDED, as the men
marched on without hating. 1t is said
the assailant was promptly arrested by
the police.
OF the two hundred rioters arrested
last night, number have been taken to
the southern police station and all iden-
tilted as rioters were promptly lodged in
Jail. Governor Carroll with portion
of his staff still remain at headquarters
at the city hall. The Governor re-
ceived a telegram from one of his aids at
Cumberland, stating that the most fever
ish state of excitement prevails. The
strikers including many canal boatmen,
n I01IIvr loEo-t n
work in case the company attempt to
move trains tonight.
A part of General Hancock's command
will be sent Immediately to Cumber-
| land.
The police last night acted in the most
gallant manner. They met, faced and
overcame the rioters at every point, and
| but for their nerve and pluck, the city
this morning might have been at the
mercy of the mob. At four o'clock this
afternoon all was quiet here and along
the line of the road.
All quiet. The general opinion is
| that the revenue cutter EWING at
Locust Point, with her guns trained
on the approaches to the government
bonded general warehouses and eleva-
tors, and the regular troops with
batteries stationed at the various points,
the Fifth and Sixth regiments Of the
Maryland National Guards, five hundred
regulars and five hundred picked special
police force is sufficient to suppress OF
speedily quell any violence fthe strikers
or plundering mobs. There are already
from six to eight hundred regular troops
in the city.
It is stated tonight by authority that
among one hundred and fifty men of those
arrested last night and lodged in the city
! Jail, there is not a railroad man. About
four O'Clock this morning while the
fire at Mount Glare station was burn
ing, another alarm was sounded, and
the extensive planning and sash
factory of Manghlin & Son, on the
| corner of East Falls avenue and Stiles
streets, near TIE Philadelphia depot
was discovered in flames and totally
| destroyed.
