RIOTING IN ST. LOUIS.

The Mobs Refuse To Leave t'Se Yards ana
are Driven by Police.
Sr. LOUIS, March PA freight train OF
fifteen cars wss made up this morning at
the Union depot and started over the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks in the direction OF
Seventh street. Arriving AT that point
the crowd called upon the engineer and
fireman to leave their posts, which they
did. The mob here soon became 80
dense thst it was deemed sdVisa-
bic to clear the yards and the
police we're summoned. Soon force OF
about $50, commanded By the chief OF po-
lice and ell the captains, arrived at the
scene. The crowd was then ordered to dis
perse and upon their refusing to DO 30, the
police made charge upon them, hoping
to drizc them away without using their
clubs. The lsttUE alternative, however,
became necessary to resort to, the mop
still resisting. During the struggle Eeich
ensued several OF the strikers were badly
beaten By the police, some OF whom were
in turn badly bruised from rocks thrown
bv the mob. After a brief fight, the
crowd was dispersed and driven from the
ysrEs. Another engine was then procured
which after seing coupled to the aosn'
doned freight trsiu, drew it Irou tke scene
of the riot under a gnsrd Of about afty po'
lice who accompanied it as far as the city
limits. No interference having been met
With. How for beyond this point the train
will be able to proceed cannot De copIsc'
tured, for the strikers may at any time
render its progress impossible.
Just after the freight train had gotten
away carrying largo portion Of the police
force, the mob, numbering ssout t'UoA
man made a rush tor the machine shops
ot the Missouri Pacific railroad to take pos
session of them. The courage, however
OF a msiority of them failed and only sbou
fortJ procseded beyond half way and the!
aeon abandoned tss ides end dispersed.

KNIGHTS AND MERCHANTS.
The three executive boards OF the

decided to meet with the business men Of

hall and advise with them upon the situs'
ton before adopting any iurther measures
intended to result in the extension OF the
strike to the railroads in other cities
From committee men it has been learned
that the three executive committees now
in session here anticipate that the proposed
meeting tonight will result in some action
by the business pen Of the city which will
procure conference between Knights ct

satisfactory adjustment oftheir grievances.
If it is then seen that nothing in that direc'
tien is accomplished
SOME OF THE PLANS
already arranged will be put into exeeu'
t;or. The first OF these is understood to
be strike 81 .h2 Knights oi Labor in
the railroad yards in East S.. ouis, aud
circumstances will then decide which steps
will follow.
