THE ROW CONTINUES.

has assumed threatning proportions, and
now involves three leading lines-the
Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Erie roads. AS before telegraphed the
blockade at Martinsburg was raised by the
appearance of the United States troops,
but was shortly after established at New
ark. Gov. Young, on application. i'm
mediately called out four companies Of
militia, but at latest accounts no change
in the situation had resulted therefrom.
At Cumberland, Nd, all the & s:sssssz-
/ p lFRKIGHf TRAINS WERE STOPPED
and the crews taken from them by the
strikers. Thereupon the governor of
Maryland called the 9Th and 9th regi-
|ments of Baltimore, and as the latter
was proceeding to the depot enroute to
the scene of disturbance large mob in
the streets commenced pelting the troops
with stones and other missiles, when the
latter fired upon the crowd, killing eleven
men and wounding others. Several SOL
diers were seriously injured. Intense ex-
citement prevails and serious riot is
imminent. An attempt was shortly af-
ter made to
FIRE THE CAMDEN STREET DEPOT,
but the fire was extinguished without
much damage. All of the companies
wires have been cut. The strikers on the
Pennsylvania road commenced at Pitts
burg, which is now completely in the
hands of the strikers.
TWO THOUSAND MILITIA
have been called out by the governor,
but as the strikers outnumber the troops
three to one nothing has been accom-
plished. The strike does not appear to
extend westward of Pittsburg, though re-.
ports are current of general strike on
several roads running west including the
Pan Handle route.
On the Erie road the strike was inau-
gurated at Hanelsville. and extended to
Buffalo At Hamelsville the military
were called out, but accomplished moth
| ing, as no effort was made to take out
| trains, as serious results would have fol-
lowed had the attempt been made. Ohio
and Michigan train men will strike Mon
day, and the indications are. that the
movement will become general through
out the west. So far on all roads freight
trains only. are interrupted
trains being allowed to pass without mo-
| lestation.
IDAHO IADIAN WAR
is apparently nearly closed out. Joseph
did not surrender, however, but his band
is breaking up gradually. Howard con-
tinues vigorous pursuit.

President Grant, now surveyor of the

LUCKY MECHANICS.

So THE STRIKE. =.
ST. PAUL, July %. The great railroad
strike grows hourly and from present in
dicatons is about to spread to ST. Louis,
Omaha, and throughout the west The
situation in Baltimore is unchanged. The
city is quiet but intense excitement still
prevails. Since the military fred upon the
mob on the night of the 10th no open out
break has occurred though the police
have twice sklrmished with the mob who
attempted to get possession of the Cam
den street depot but without success.
p 80. THE PRESIDENT AK
has issued a:7proclamation against the
rioters and has summoned
GEN. HANCOCK
from New York to take command Of the
troops in the city. In Pittsburg every
thing was quiet until about five O'Clock
Saturday when Sheriff Fife with large
posse of deputies accompanied by, the
Philadelphia militia, eighteen hundred
strong, started out to arrest fifteen of the
leading strikers, Finding the railroad
track near the outer depot completely
blockaded with strikers the militia ad-
yanced with fixed bayonlets and were met

whereupon the
SOLDIERS OPENED FIRE
upon the crowd killing twenty and
| wounding twenty-nine. The crowd fed
