McKrrspoRr, Pa, Juno 6.-Notwith-
standing that tho mayor and chief OF
police claim to be nblo to control tho
riotous element here. it remains evident
that what tho crowd wishes to do Is
done without molcatation from olilcoru.
The town to-day, from daylight until
midnight. has been undcr practical
control OF an unorganizcd mob.
The first appearance oil daybrcak
brought tho crowds from their retire.
nent, sono from their homes, but many
from guard duty along the river and
railroads. which were most thoroughly
patrolOd during the night, because OF
the rumor that deputies wero coming.
By eight o'clock largo crowds had con-
grcgatcd at tho B. x q. depot aud in
front Of tho National tube works gatea,
ready for anything.
Nothing moro serious than thrashing
n Hun occurred until about II o'clock
when tho mob, with whoops and yells,
mado rush for tho Davitt and McIn-
tyre tlpplcs across the river in Point
view.
FURTHER DEPR6DAroSs.
Both oi these tipples wero destroyed
and the slack piles fred nnd thoy arc
now burning furioualy. Tho mob after
ACCOMPLISHING its mission returned. Dur
ing tho afternoon and evening tho
crowd was kept almost constantly on
the 20, sometimes on false alarms, but
oitener for tho purpose OF carrying out
some plan for destruction Of property.
Three barGos OF coal wore cut loose at
McIntyres mine aud tloatod down the
river. Duguesne Pipe works wcrc Wis.,
tied by 5000 strikers. tho men COM
pellcd to come out and the mill closed
down. Six cars OF slack wero burned
while In the Pittsburgh & Lake Eric
yards, because the strikers though.
they we're intended for tho tube works,
while In reality they we're for shipment.
Then tho crowd crossed tho bridge to
Rhodes Station and fred junker Bros.
chute and platform.
At midnight the town Is quiet and
the hard worked crowd is recruiting
strength probably for other raids to-
morrow. A striker named Lautcrback,
who was injured yesterday, died at the
hospital tonight.
suERIFF's PROCLAMATION.
The sheriff arrived at McKeesport
this evening and held consultation
with Mayor andre, chief OF police and
committee Of citizens. The mayor said
he would cope with the Gisorderlv Gle.
mont and did not expect to have to call
for deputies. Tho sheriff authorized
him 10 swear In fifty extra police, but
up to q lato hour tonight. the mayor
has failed to secure them.

Pittsburgh from McKccsport. issued q
general proclamation covering the
whole county OF Allegheny. He re-
ported everything quiet at Mckecsport
and expects to havo no special trouble
at that point.

the works and no men will be imported
to start the works. lie said, further,
that when the plant rosumod ycstor-
day they had 800 men at work and, but
for the mob, which frightened tho men
away, tho works would bo have been
running as full by tho end OF the week
Ms the meager demand for the product
at the present time would warrant.
