they proceeded up the street the
crowd continued to gather, and with
increased numbers became holder
and more violent in their abuse.
Finally, at the corner of Plowman
and Albemarle streets. stone was
thrown which struck Il soldier be-
longing to Company A, Captain j. 5.
Hauburg's command named Michael
Corcoran, on the head, infiicting
painful though not dangerous
wound. He fell to the ground, but
was assisted to his feet by his COM
rades, and the steady march of the
regulars continued. Then the rioters
showed their hands. One stone
thrown was the initiative for a
dozen and when the battalion reach
ed the corner of Baltimore street the
demonstration babe fair to take rank
with the one resulting so fatally ON
on Friday night. But as the steady
movement of the soldiers continued,
suddenly the order HALT" rang out
clear and loud, followed by the order
to the rear company, "Four's left!''

Forward, march, and the command
moved down the street, driving the
crowd which ran and scattered so
quickly that in three minutes not
ten persons We're in sight. Then the
command proceeded to the Sixth
Regiment Armony. This command
are all equipped with patent breech-

pattern, and carry in their cartridge
boxes sixty rounds of ammunition.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July "a
Through the determined efforts of
the citizens matters are now quieting
down, and the city IS beginning to
observe law and order. There have
been no disturbances to-day, and the
T prospects are there will be none. The
only acts of lawlessness have been
F the pillaging of freight cars on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad. Strikers, however, inter
fered and drove off the thieves. Stri-
kers are still running all trains on
that road, and have full possession,
with Robt. A. Ammon, a discnarg
ed engineer, as uperintendent. He
receives all messages directed 10 the
superintendent and answers them,
lust as if he was legal Y in authority.
The conductors collect all fares, turn
them over to Amm0n and it is the
understanding that he will turn the
money over to the company after
paying off the men the wages they
got before the reduction.
1t is estimated that the total loss
Occasioned by the riots will reach five
millions of dollars. There are So, 900
taxpayers in the county, which will
make the tax over fifty.five dollars IL
head. Col. Scott refuses to yield to
any demand of the strikers.
WHY GEN. FRENCH WAS RELIEVED.
BALTIMORE, July 24.-Numerous
kilograms and lengthy correspond
ence between Gen. French and Col.
Sharp, of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad are published, which show
that French was upheld by the Sec
rotary OF War and Gen. Hancock in
his action. 1t appears that Sharp
not only interfered with Gen.
French's orders, but also with his
subordinates. Gen French insisted
upon duOtneT drHly Officer Taking
command AMI Gen. Getty was APP
pointed.
Pittsburg, July 3d. Major Buffing-
ton, commandant of the arsenal, re-
fused admittance to the Philadel-
phia regiments when they were fee
ing for their lives before the infuria-
ted mob yesterday morning. His
excuse was that he was app rehensive
that if fleeing troops were admitted
the mob numbering thousands would
force an entrance, and during the con-
sequent fighting the magazine would
be ignited and the whole city blown
up.
