During the railroad war, the Maryland State
troops were fed at a cost OF rs cents per man

Capt. Howgate's schooner Florence has sailed
from New London. Ct, for the Arctic ocean,
under command of Capt. Tyson. The Florence
will establish Capt. Howgates polar colony at
point on the coast on the north side of Cum
berland, and there store the supplies upon
which the main exploring expedition, which
sails July, 1878, under Capt. II. w. Howgate,
United States Navy, is to subsist.
Now that the rioting incident to the railroad
strike has been suppressed, the authorities are
directing their attention to the furnishing Of
the ringleaders. At Chicago st. Louis, Indian
apolis, Harrisburg and various other places we
read of the arrest Of numbers of men who
were conspicuous in leading the mobs, and
their commitment for trial
News Of a melancholy horror comes from
Simcoe, Ontario. The alms-house located near
that town, containing sixty-one paupers,
caught fire at night, and so rapidly did the
flames spread that seventeen OF the unfortu-
nate inmates persisted in the flames. Five men
were badly burned while attempting to rescue
the paupers. or those burned, eleven were
men and six women. They were nearly all bed
ridden old people who could not move without
assistance.

1t is believed that the country narrowly es-

recent strike, and if the general suspension of
business had continued few days longer the

surely have been added to the heavy damage

A Striking Incident.

Scene during the strike at Newark,
o.: BY noon, there were seventy-fve
engines and 900 cars located in the yard,
and these were increased by two addi
tional trains. After the first two at
tempts to move the train, which were
easily thwarted, Samuel Brown volttn-
teered as fireman. He is an old citi-
zen and ex.member of the City Council
but had formerly worked as a fireman.
When he assembled the train the men
gathered quietly about, and Just as the
engine was about to move they pnt for
ward fireman who held up hand
from which three fingers had been cut
in a railroad accident. This" said
the principal spokesman, "this is the
man whose place you are taking. This
is the man with a hand and half to
earn Sl.50 a day, three days in the week,
for his wife and children. Do you pro-
pose to take the bread out of his mouth
and out of theirs ?" Brown hesitated q
moment, then jumped down, his depart
ure being received with three rousing
cheers.

The Retreat Of the Philsdelphians from
Pittsburgh.

The officer who returned from the
front" and when asked how he got back,
replied, Sin an envelope" gives the fol-
lowing description of the return OF such
of the philadelphia "soger boys as have
been heard from. Though the descrip-
ton may be obnoxious to the charge OF
being somewhat hyperbolical, yet it must
be confessed that it has enough veri-
similitude about it to be recognized as
not pure fabrication:
"An effort was made by one or two in
ventive individuals TO climb into their
muskets, but, as this was found to be
impracticable, not for the reason that
the muskets were too narrow, but that
the men were too long, the ruse was
abandoned. One gentleman tried the
extraordinary experiment of impelling
himself homeward by swallowing his
musket and touching it of within him
self, but discovered his mistake in time
to avert serious consequences. In the
excitement of the moment a terrified
Brigadier General offered to ship on q
passenger train as man before the
mast and, being refused, wanted to-
know whether he could go through as an
invoice to the stuffed department of the
Permanent Exposition. In despair, sew
eraI veterans pinned postal cards to their
shirts and threw themselves by the track,
determined to trust to luck and some
conscientious mali agent to pass them
through. To add to the terror of these
unfortunate men, they couldn't get any
thing to eat that was palatable; and, as
the crows knew this, they lowered above
the emaciated soldiers and scawed In
joyous anticipation of big Quaker City
lunch. Happily for aching breasts at
home, the boys began struggling into
the city yesterday evening. One gallant
Major was attired in military boots,
brakeman's pantaloons, no coat worth
mentioning, and telegraph operators
cap. His friends met him at the depot
and greeted him with cheers. Though
travel-stained and weary, he told the
story of his heroic charge upon the enemy
with the modesty becoming in SO great
man. He reviewed his course briefly,
merely touching here and there upon the
number of rioters he had strangled and
otherwise put to death, and remarked
that if somebody didn't hurry back to
Blairsville with some sandwiches and
beer for the First Division somebody
would starve to death. 1t was his i'm
preston, also, that the strike was over,
so far as the West was concerned, at
least. as the great majority of the strik-
ers had chased him all the way home. -
