BLOOD AND FIRE.
A Riot At East St. Louis Followed
By Inoendiary Fires.
THE LATEST FROM THE STRIKE.

THE LATEST FROM THE STRIKE.
Friday afternoon at East st. Louis
a crowd Of men, women and chill
dren, strikers and sympathizers, were
fired upon by Deputy Sheriffs in
charge of train on the L. & N. rail-
road, and four men were killed and
one woman was MORALLY wounded.
None of these were strikers and but
one was a railroader. The crowd
ieered and yelled as the train passed,
and it is asserted stones were thrown,
some of which struck two or three
of the officers, and it is also said that
pistol was discharged. The depu-
ties leveled their guns and fired two
volleys, with the result as stated.
The greatest excitement imme-
diately prevailed, and pandemonium
reigned. The crowd fled in every di-
rection, and when the deputies real
lied how fearful was the result of
their fire, they sought means of es-
cape by rushing for the bridge, with
a view Of fleeing to st. Louis. AT the
approach, and just at the bridge tower
on the east side, they were met by
Mayor Joyce, City Clerk Canty and
a third man, who seized the depu-
ties guns and endeavored to turn
them back. One of the deputies in
his terror fired upon the trio, killing
a man named c. E. Thompson, who
stood between Joyce and Canty.
Some shots were fired by the remain
ing deputies at the approaching
strikers, and all started over the
bridge.
Eight of the. deputies escaped 10 st.
Louis and gave themselves up to the
police.
A Louisville and Nashville freight
car backed down alongside the plat
form and took away he others to a
place of safety. Two were sighted
by the strikers, who had procured
arms, and were chased under the
bridge. One of them was caught in
front of Toney's house, on the levee,
and was heated by the mob. Anoth-
er was reported to have been shot
as he was escaping under the APP
proach to the bridge. The other
deputies escaped unframed.
A few more violent strikers, after
arming themselves, announced their
Intention of attacking the deputies OH
guard at the o. & NJ. yards, and ad-
ranced in that direction. When near
he yards, they were met by several
deputies and fired upon, killing, as
hey say, one of their number.

strikers escaping almost to a man.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. %, 1856.
A prominent republican politician from
Virginia, here to-day, says the intimacy
that once existed between General Malone
and Capt John Wise has ceased, and that
they have not seen each other since the last
election. The cause of the arrangement was
Mr.. Wise's persistence in running repub-
lican candidate for Congress in the Rich.
mond district last November, and thereby
securing the election of a democrat in that
district. Capt. Wise, it will be remember
ed, is the man who cried out to General
Malone Master, lead on. III follow thee!"
All the other men the General advanced
had ''gone back" on him, but Capt Wise
was the single faithful one among the faith
less; and now even he, too, is at odds with
his old commander. The republican refer
red to says the party in the State look upon
the General as the veritable old man of the

The ball lodged in the back of the boy,s
head, and he died without saving q word
