ability To save Ia. ON the men pant
ing for our lives. Some of my men
blamed you for not allowing us to
defend ourselves, and that is the only
cause of bad feeling which the re
porters found in my division.
DIvEReISG VIEWS.
We blame you for protecting the
mobs too much. The mobs blame
you for Furnishing them. If ever
man was placed in false position it
is you, and, if the reputable thinking
people of your city do not praise you
and thank you for what you did for
them, it must be because there is no
gratitude in them. The rioters drive
you from your home. They gut your
house because you were their enemy,
and the community, for whom you
suffered all this, leave your services
unrecognized. Of course, after what
we witnessed we do not expect friends.
Even the commandant of the Gov
ernment Arsenal, where We had gone
for ammunition, not only refused to
supply us, but when 1, in person,
begged permission to allow my faint
ing, famished men moments pro
lection. elected me from his presence
and locked the gate, guarding it by
his soldiers without. While thus
parleying with the United States Off
Ger the mob killed two of my privates,
also Lieutenant Ash, of the Keystone
Battery, a gallant, noble fellow, and
j went on, thinking we must be a
doomed command when not only
mobs try to overpower us, but the
means of self-defence We're rudely
denied by the sworn officers of the
United States government, and the
shady grounds were closed against
my fainting and dying men. And as
we shook the dust of Pittsburg off
our feet, we left it in the hands of
Mayor McCarthy's police, who SO
gallantly assisted in driving us from
the town. Ihave been hoping. trust
ing that we could feel differently af-
ter the passion was over; that we
might receive some kind words from
those our comrades died for, but with
two individual exceptions not one
word has been spoken or gatitude
breathed to console the orphans and
widows of those who sealed their de
votions to our sister city. We can,
however, stand this if your people
can, and leave you rather remember
ing our old army scenes than those
of the sad and recent date,
This has been scrawled of hastily
on a camp stool. Believe ME, my
dear General, to be, very sincerely
yours,

three quarters of an hour by a crowd
Of several thousand persons at the de-
pot. The strikers uncoupled the pas
senger coaches and engine and threw
the coupling bolts in the canal. The
bolts we're replaced and United States
detective officers were stationed on the
platform to watch them. The train
was backed below the depot aud under
a full head of steam shot past the
strikers. Some of them attempted to
board the train but failed.
A crowd of 5000 or 1000 people
assembled at the Lehigh Valley depot
to see the mail train come in at 2 AS
o'clock this afternoon. The strikers
we're out 10 force. A constable aud
United States detective standing on rhe
platform next 20 the engine were stOn-

running the engine and the strikers
stoned him until he had to get off, and
as be did so, he was struck in .he face
with stone. The strikers cheered

and ran it to Sugar Notch. John
Keithler, the constable. was seized by
the mob and roughly handled. They
were going to duck him IN the casal

interference of friends. lie is now in

mob followed him through the streets,
hooting and yelling. A large number
of passengers are compelled to lie over
here. The strikers have the engine
taken from the tram and are running
it up and down the road blowing the
whistle and cheering. The miners and
railroad men are coalescing aud trou-

From Scranton under the same date
a despatch reads: AT about IL 80
o'clock this morning about five thou
sand men, armed with clubs and revol-
vers, forced all the employees of the
Lackawauna iron and ccaI company
who had returned to work after brief
strike to desi.t. They then proceeded
to the car shops Of the Delaware Lack
awanua and Western railroad company,
drove the men from their posts and
threatened to destroy the car shops
and office. Not satisfied with this
they violently assaulted several of the
employees both in the shop and Office,
and many of them sustained painful,
though not serious, wounds. Mayor
M'Kune hastened to the scene, and at
the same time sent word to a volunteer
organization of young men which had
been guarding the extensive stores of
the Lsckawauna iron and coal company
for some time past. The mayors arri-

IL certain parts of West Virginia
railroad trains have been fired on by
men hid along the Baltimore and

travellers when men bushwhack rail

have made railroads their avenues OF

the country, and If bushwhackers and
other bad men fire into trains or
