siding here in charge OF the porter, who,
when II was attached 10 the train, was
greatly relieved, as threats had been
made by the rioters to do some harm to
him and the car. This car was placed be.

THE NEWSPAPER MIN,
and it was Suggsslsd that the journalists
were thus placed in front Of the troops to
save ammunition, for the Cumberland
rioters would not be able 10 withstand an
assault by eleven OF the reporters ut one

ARRIVAL AT CUMBERLAND.
At a few minutes to s o'clock the train
came 10 ahalt in front OF the B. 4 O. ho.
tel Queen City, amid groans and deri.
sive shouts. The Soldiers obeyed orders
and had nothing to say in reply 10 any
language used; but when a motion was
made towards musket he soon made
them aware that they had gone far enough
by quickly turning the mul1ls@ Here the
party took dinner, and in the meantime
a dense crowd at the sound OF an ap-
preaching train would make run for II,
but no attempt during the presence Of the
soldiers was made to stop train or 10
take any men of. This was by far the
most disorderly crowd along the line, and
ii was noticed that the larger portion
were boyS. As each train would come
up rush would be made for 1t, and the
police could do but little to prevent them

FREIGHT TRAINS ATTACKED.
During the day ten freight trains came
into the yard, and but two were allowed
to 90 through-those with soldiers on
board. In every other case the engineers
and iiremen were dragged from their
posts, and in one instance fireman who
resisted was badly beaten. The crews Of
these trains kept themselves shady during
the day, in order that their presence
should not add to the excitement. Along
the track just outside Of town,
ToRPEDOEs
were placed, and these explosions added
TO the excitement. By the explosion OF
one OF these two boys we're badly hurt
about the feet. While the mob was gath.
