The proclama rion Of Governor Hart
ranft was entirely disregarded at Pitts
burg. The railroad strikers were large
iy reinforced BY strikers, furnace and
other men. Tramps by hundreds in
creased the number Of the mob, and
hundreds Of other discnntented and
vicious people helped to swell the null
titude of the rioters. Between four
and FIVE o'clock on Saturday COM
pany of Pbiladelphia citizen soldiers
appeared on the streets of Pittsburg.
The rioters did not fall back as prompt
ly as ordered, but hooted and bissed
aud stoned the soldiers. The comE1and
TO fire was given, and was delivered
with effect. A number of people who
we're not rioters but spectators we're
killed and wounded. Among the killed
and wounded WAS a woman and child.
The fire from the troops was made the
pretext for a demand that the soldiers
be exterminated." Demands we're
made on hardware stores for arms, and
where they we're refused, the stores
were broken open and rifled OF their
contents. The arms and ammunition
secured was to be used to further such
purposes rs the rioters had in view.
the Philadelphia soldiers
took up their quarters in round house
that belonged to the railroad company.
Great crowds Of excited men hastened
to the place where the soldiers we're
and the most infuriated
threats against chem we're made. The
freight cars in that vicinity were broken
open, and an indiscriminate scramble
was made for such articles as could be
used by the p,llagers. MusliDs, cali
Goes, goods of all kinds, boots and
shoes, coffee, sugar, tobacco, every
thing that suited the fancy Of thieves
in the work, was taken. A number
Of private houses were entered and
robbed. Hundreds of cars that were
emptied were showed up as near to
the quarters of the soldiers as it was
possible to get them, and coal oil
poured on them, and from them to
the round-house, with the expecta-
ton that when the whole would be
fired the troops would be burned out.
A number of the city armories were
broken open, and their contents ap-
Several cannon were
taken out and hauled down to the
quarters of the Philadelphians, and
a bombardment OF the place begun.
1t is related that a number of the
soldiers became panic-stricken and
left their quarters and attempted to
escape through the crowd, but they
were quickly detected and killed. 1t
was a perfect pandemonium that
reigned The soldiers meanwhile re-
NAMED quiet, until on command
they marched out and across the city
to the United States Arsenal, where
they were not admitted by the COM
mandant. From there they marched
further into the outskirts of the city.
Almost at every point where there
are manufacturing establishments
the disorders occur.
