were accordingly carried into the hos

tinued their march out of Butler street,
a fusilade being kept up on them by

THE GREAT BAILRAOD. STRIKE

The clash between capitol and labor
in the Atlantic States has created more
excitement than any armed demonstra-
ton since the outbreak OF. the war in
1861. The strike of the railroad en-
ployes which began on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has extended west
to the Mississippi and north to New
York State. At East st. Louis, on the
Mississippi river. oyer one thousand
railroad men assembled last Saturday
night, and, though no public demon
stration was made, it is believed that a
strike was decided"upon. In Chicago
and at all important points along the
main roads from the Mississippi to the
Atlantic there are evidences of deter
mination on the part of the employees

comparative quiet prevailed in Mary

quence of no attempt having been

though jealousy guarding from in
jury the property of private citizens.
The people are represented as being in
sympathy with the strikers, and in
several instances the militia refused to
fire upon them. One no.
table exception to this rule
was found in q, Philadelphia
regiment, and they were driven
to the woods and dispersed by the in
furiated mob. The cause of this out
break between starving thousands and
corporations, enriched at the expense
of the country. is found in the legisla-
ton of Congress during and since the
war. which has been mainly directed
to enrich favored few at the expense
of the millions. Under the privileges
accorded the few by their tools and at
torneys, elected to represent the peo-
pie in the National and State legisla-
lures, millionaires have sprung up like
mushrooms, and they, only intent on
increasing their wealth, refuse to those
in their employ sufficient to keep them
selves and their families from starva-

1IITsbURG, July ~.
The outer depot yards of the Penn
sylvania Railroad have been aban-
doned by the troops. The Philadelphia
troops went out to Pennsylvania
Avenue and the Pittsburg battery boys
spiked their guns and came down to
Union Depot, and the
MOB HAD THINGS THEIR OWN WAY.
The round house and shops, together
with engines and number of cars were
entirely destroyed by fire. 1t is re-
ported that about twenty persons were
killed and a number wounded. A
private dispatch from Pittsburg. dated
Sunday at 2 o'clock says: The Penn
sylvania Railway shops and the round
house at the outer depot have been
destroyed, together with 70 engines
and about $50 loaded cars were
destroyed. Thirty persons are re-
ported as killed and-a large number
wounded. Loss is over $4,000, 900.
All appears quiet now. The follow
ing is description of
THE MoB's METHOD, OF BURNING THE
ROUND HOUSE:
A large party of strikers captured a car
and filed it with coke, which they ran
from the Allegheny Valley Railway
track at the siding connecting with the
Pennsylvania. They there procured
large quantities of petroleum and poured
it over the coke and then ignited the
material. In very few moments the
car was a mass of fire. 1t was then
pushed along the track and forced
against the round house, which was
soon in flames. The soldiers were now
compelled to prepare to fight their way

Now, as the Democrats endorsed,
and by their vote passed, the bill Gre
ating the electoral tribunal, the only
consistent course for them to pursue
is to accept the decisions of that body
without a murmur- The great mis-
take was in not defeating the bill in
the House Of Representatives. The
fifteenth man was to be a Republican,
there being no Democrats left on the
Supreme bench, from which he was to
be selected, and he would hold the
balance of power. Men are simply

The battery was kept attached to

in larger quantities. The most sing
ular part OF this truly strange story is
the fact that, although Mr.. lsaacs re-
covered his intellect with the renewal
of his life. yet his moral faculties were
entirely dormant. When his wife and
child were brought to him he evinced
no emotion whatever, and while his
memory recalled every Incident of his
former life-and all of his acquain-
tances say that his conversations and
ideas were more brilliant than ever be-
fore-yet it was impossible TO call up
any association that was aught, save
Indifferent TO him. When informed of
his mothers death Though he had been
the most devoted of sons) he merely
remarked, "Well, she was old enough,
heaven knows" Though formerly

gion, he had become most blasphc-
nous. lie would not tell the truth il
possible to lie, and seemed TO take
most intense delight to steal and Sc
crete about his person any object, even
of the most trivial value. He made
frequent attempts to rob the doctor OF
his watch while bending over him to
administer stimulants, etc. Dr. Rey-
nault St. Pierre, the highest Partisan
authority on insanity and matters re.
lating to the psychology and physiol-
ogy of the brain, being called in, said
that he could account for his condition
only by supposing that while his in.
t,llect had been resumed along with
his new life his soul hal fed forever
He argues that were this case only
of insanity the brain would not have
increased in brilliancy, nor would the
memory have continued so perfect.
The blasphemies and obscene con-
duct and conversation of Mr.. Isaacs
having become too horrible, it was de-
termined to discontinue the stimulus
and disconnect the battery. This be-
ing done, the fatal sign of his cough
ing began, and in thirty minutes the
animal heat and all signs of life has
disappeared, and death had assumed
his sway. Immediately on his disso-
luton the eyes sank. the skin shrivel-
