PITTsBURG, Oct 19.-A crowd of 1000 people,
among whom were a large number OF roughs,
gathered on the wharf here this afternoon to join
an excursion to Davis Island dam where Capt.
Paul Boyton was advertised to give an exhibition
officers of the steamers were 0verpowered and
their boats loaded to the waters edge and on this
account they were afraid to make the trip and an
nOunced that the exhibition would be given before
the wharf. This announcement led to riot dur
ing which roughs with axes and other mple-
ments cut up the excursion barges Edna and
Alice and compelled the officials to jump into the
river to save their lives because they would not
refund the money taken for tickets. A large
force of police were ordered to the wharf but or
der was not restored for long time. The ring
leaders were arrested. Only one man was in
iured.
