THE FIRE BRIGADE KEPT DusY.
For the twenty.four hours ending

fire alarm calls from burning railroHd
property, nearly all being on the south

oordiug TO Chief Sweeney. Several
times railroad shops were fired. The
strain on the fire department was great
aud NJ the headquarters In the city nall
n doubls force Of operators were ut
work. Chief Sweeney stayed at head
qartefa and directed tho movements VI
luis companies. Tbs number Of alarms
from July 10 10 O'Clock last night was
1884, the largest ever reached In tue
history of the department In that time.
Chief Sweeney tnid last night II was a
question whether the nremen on tha
south Side could hold out II such
Wholesale incendinrism continued.
THE SOLDIERS ISFUmArED.
Stories arc beginning 10 float in
military headquarters which will
illustrate the the fury TO which the
regular troops have teen worked up by
the insults Of the crowd. A oavAity-
man Mt the stock yards who had been
howled at By 4 crowd for three hours
made u protest to his captain. One
hulking rloter In particular had plant.
cd himself In front OF the trooper and
hurled ut him every epithet he coulu
think OF, besides daring him 20 tight.
The trooper turned 10 his superior.

An ofllcsr said last night:

TIE QUESTION OF DAMAGES.
When the present elrike.boyootl
shall have passed into history the peO
pie Of this city, particularly tho men
who happen to own property, Will hnd
q serious subject for contemplation la
the question OF damageA. A lew OF the
railroads have already notified the city
authorities they propose 10 mold the
city liable Tor the lots OF their prop
cry. IL 10 impossible ~ yet 10 esti'
mate tho Rmou int that has disappeared
in flames kindled by the strikers anu
their tympathlLing frienus. Before
they are made hnally 10 realize that
the law Is supreme, millions OF dollar
worth Of property may have been des'

the taxpayers will have TO bear the
burden. This Will fall heaviest upon
those men VINO by economy anu hard
work have accumulated small amounts
OF real estate and built for themselves
homes.
The statute under which the rail
roads Will bring their suits for uHm-

which this Pennsylvania railroad col
