Towards du K efforts were again made 10
barn the boa's with their living ireieh', and
they would doubtless have succeeded had il
tot been T The inierposition Of the le- ding
etc RS Of the Am lgama ed Association, who
went TO the scene OF war in the afternoon.
Through their IF rts il was agreed to allow
e detectives TO surrender, but this was not
secured without the greatest object'o on on the
part o the men. many of whom having lost
friends ana acquaintRrces curing the day.
Besides. as in al such outbreaks, there were
thousands of turbulent character attracted to
III place, and MS they owei no allegiance TO
any organization could pot BE- controlled.
They wanted TO see the carnage go on, and it
was not u"til some OF III str keTs pointed
their guns It he outsid rs hat n hearing WINS
06ta'Eel.
At Eve O'Clock the Pinktr on men hung out
another VIII tie fiag, and tn s tins it was re-
spected and a committed Of strikers went
nboari to prepare iermsof capjtulstion. They
guarant ed safe coadurt for the Pinkertons
provided they left their arTs and ammuni.
ton behind an asreed TO leave the plste ur-
der guard. Tn detect yes had no alternative
and prompt y accepted the terms, some Of The
men say ng that il was the first time they
had ever submitted to such n hum,liatins sur

When an inspection Of the boats was
m dc it WINS found that at east seven Of the
Pinkerton m n had b en- Iii led ard twenty
or thirty wounded, many Of them so badly
that they will d e.
As they were b. ught from the boat hey
presented n serr bic Appearance. MANY we're
besmeared with bio d, while all OF them
showed signs Of eSh ,ustion from the long
confinement in tho c ose quarters between
d c&s.
After the prisoners had Keen removed from
the barges the rioters had their revenge.
They carried OIL into the holds, poured j; over
H. L~41.-~ .-1
fire, first securing them so that they could not
float down the river and cause damage at
points below. When the flames broke through
the decks the cheers which rent the air was
deafening. and the noise could be heard miles
away. The hills on eithtr side OF the river
were literally crowded with people, who
could witness from this high point all that
was transporting on the battlefield and be out
of range of the deadly bullets.
The day was one that will be remembered
with horror by the people Of the borough, as
well as the citizens of the entire county, who.
for the second time. will be called upon to
pay the enormous amount Of money entailel
in the shape of riot losses.
