A REIGN OF TERROR.
BRUSSELS, March ga Charleroi
dispatch says that a reign of terror
prevails in that city. The rioters,
thousands in number, are armed with
weapons of every description, have
held possession of the streets all day.
Many stores and dwellings have
been attacked and pillaged and in
some cases burned. The military
massed in force there from all neigh
boring points, and were used to-day
with terrible effect to dispense the
rioters. The troops, as soon as they
were met by the mob and
ficrceiy assaulted. The order to fire
was finally given, and several volleys
were quickly poured into the ranks
of the strikers. The result was
twenty of the rioters killed and hun
dreds of them wounded. The most
intense excitement prevails. The
hope is that the terrible affair will
carry with it it's lesson.
Among the buildings burned to-
day by the mob is the Convent of
and the Chateau Cultre-
mont, at Presles. The glass works
at Marchiennes Au Pont, two miles
from Charleroi, were burned by riot
ers to-day. The coal mine proprie-
tors at Herstet, three miles from
Liege, have refused to accede to the
demand for 25 per cent. increase
in the wages of their men, and the
miners will undoubtedly strike. The
rolling mills at Montceau have been
sacked by strikers. Gangs of strik-
ers are everywhere in the mining
countries forcing men to stop work,
and are going about pillaging the
factories. The local authorities are
absolutely powerless before the daily
increasing strength of the rioters. 1t
will require very large reinforce
ments of troops to quell the riots.
The River and Harbor committee
has recommended that $121,200 be
for the improvement Of
the Monongahela, $4,000 for the
Big Sandy, 81, 500 for the Buckhan-
non, $4,000 for the Great Kanawha

The mysterious mountain which
has been burning for several years
on Cheat river, w. Va, has broken
out again. The river seems unable
to quench the mountain and the
powerless to set the river
on fire.--Phiiadelphia Ne,os. What
a fire little spark kindleth! An
old abandoned coal bank on Cheat
river took fire and has been burning
for long time, because no effort has
been made to put it out. This fur

correspondent the basis for the
burning mountain" story.-Ne,cs
