PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 24-1:10 a. NJ
The worst feature OF the labor rebellion in
Pennsylvania to-day was at Reading, which
is not enIthe line OF thei 2 ennsyI Yania rail-
road, and where there is NO particular,
cause for. the strike assigned. About $50
State troops arrived there late this
evening; marching into the depot
without notice 81 Their. coming.
A crowd Of over 5000 surroundeai
the depot. at the time, having just stopped
a passenger train about to leave for Phila-
delphia. There was great disorder, and
the Chief Of Police was trying to read the
riot act. When the troop train. came id,
the cry was raised, 8. Here come the Troops
Almost Immediately, and on what provo.
cation is not known, aiyolley was. fired by
the militia, and the crowd scattered like
a drove Of sheep. Another yoiley was then
fred, but OF blank cartridges. The casual
ties SO far as heard of are, about six per-
sons killed. Officer Rupp, Of the police
force being among the number. One Drace
was killed while standing two squares from
the place where the fighting was going on.
There are about twenty wounded, some OF
them being children. The crowd, when
they dispersed, said, "aBoys, 60 for your
rifles. Wen have revenge yet for this"
The sentiment here is very much against
the soldiers for firing on the crowd without
giving a warning, as scarcely one OF the
party was armed.
Everything is seemingly quiet now at
O'Clock, but there will be trouble yet to-
night, as the strikers have gone for arms
and ammunition. The troops are now
in Pennsylvania Square, The
different shops OF the company are well
guarded by about $50 special police well
armed. ~ ~ III 4. q, .:i.zi,; - :
