A CONCESSION, THY FORT WAYNE O1VZ8 IN, Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune, Prrrenvna, Pa., July 22—10 p. m.—The Fort Wayne Road has acceded to the de. mands of the strikers, who sre now getting rolling-stock in shapo for the resumption of business to-morrow. Officers of the Com- Panya nd employes held several consultations to-day, at which a conciliatory spirit was manifested, the result being as abovo stated, ‘This ia fact, not rumor, It ia reported that the Pennsylvania Road has also yielded, but verification is wanting, AGREEMENT. To the Western Associated Press, Prrtspena, Pa., July 2—10 p, m.—The Pitte- borg, Fort Wayno & Chicago Company havo notified thelr men that they have acccded to their demands, and will pay tho wages allowed before the reduction of June 15. ‘The men are how busily engaged In getting the road in run. ningorder, ‘The Fort Wayno blockade being ralsed, it is likely the Cleveland & Pittsburg and the Erie & Pittsburg Roade will be able to run os usual, ‘TIM SITUATION on the other roads remains unchanged. Tho crowds about the burnt district and along the Pennaylvanla Rallroad aro gradually growing leas. Crowds of drunken men are to bescen on the atrects on the way tu their homes. Tho Vigilant Committee is hourly growing stronger, and itis thought the destruction of life and Property ia ot an end. ‘THE 1.055 HERB within the last twenty-four hours can only be catimated. Along the Pennsylvania Railroad, from Unton Depot to East Liberty, the numer- ous tracks Were filled with loaded caru. Theao Were burned from Millvale, Thirty-third street, to Thirteenth, a distance of twenty blocks. It is estimated that 2.000 cars loaded with o!?, coal, and all kinds of merchandizo werv totally de- Stroyed. A}) thesc, toether with locomotives, buildings, and other property destroyed, swell the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's losses toan Gggregate amount variously estinated from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. —— A CARNIVAL OF FLAME, INCENDIABIGM BUN MAD. Special Dispatch to The Tribune, Preresuzo, Pa, July 22-11 p, m.—Tho fire at the Union Depot may be said to have commenced at about half-past 1 o'clock, when the cars nearest the sheds covering the platforms ignited, From this time the fearful destruction which followed was in- evitable. At the hour mentioned at Liberty and Twenty-first street a sight was met that beggars description, Upward of 2,000 cara had already been burned, a large proportion of them containing merchandise, and on the fames were gosd- CILICAGO, ed, and the determination of the angry as- sembly seemed to be to include in the de- yastnting trail the entire property of the railroad company. THE MATOR was upon the spotin a buggy, but his pres- ence did not in tho least intimidate tho mob, who hed resorted to this to enforce the restoration of the wages of tho railroad men. At twenty- five minutes to 2 o'clock fire muddonly burst from under tho cars at Fiftoenth treet, six aquares below, and that much nearor the Union Depot sheds, and a little farthor west another incendiary torch waa applied, Ina moment afterward there waa a sort of A PANIO Mt THE chown, and sovera! children wore severely hurt by being trampled. Thieves were engaged roll- ing barrels of flour, molasses, otc., along the sidewalk, nnd these obstructions impeded the progress of the half frantic people, and increased their desire to get to places of safety, TRE CAURR OF THE ADARM was the announcement that tho Inst car fired contained powder, and tho utter dismay of the men when they thought they had placed thomselyes in 4 badtrap, Thecar had been fired without being broken open,—a precaution snbse- quently observed very atriotly. The doors of tho cara at Twenty-first street wore torn off to assist the flames along, and at » quar- ter to 2 o'clock the firo was only two blocks from the sheds of tho Union Depot. The mob were working s vigorously at this juncture as they did at any timo the previous night, and at short intorvals would apply firobrands to tho intervoning cars, Tho occupants of the buildings opposite the Union Depot now began making prepara- tions.to move out, as, in caso the Union Depot waa dostroyed, they considered it to bo impossible to eave tho houses opposite, When the mob jumped the cars at Twenty- first stroet, and fired those at Fifteenth, ‘ThE rineEN new the conflagration would be very severe. In consequence of thoir being on the track towards the wall, they were directed to go around to head off tho fire,—that is, to pro- tect tha property on tho opposite side of tho street, This thoy did, and suc- coeded in saving allof the property. All of the valnables and baggage in the Union Depot were removed a little after 2 o'clock to placea of safety, and o guard of watchors were placed on the roof of the depot sheds watching the progress of oyents. Moreland & Mitchell removod all their horaoa and carriages. The flames now reachod tho little switch-bor at the onst endof the sheds, and in five minutes the mammouth roof of tha platform, whereon passenger trains aro loaded and unloaded, wah ablaze. The ox- citement now was intense. There is o small space betweon tho switch-bor at the castend of tho depot, i AND A BURNING Can IN LIEU OF A ToICH was at 2:45 pushed down to sct fire to the sheds. ‘Tho greatest alarm was now felt for the property on the north sido of Liborty street, and tho wholo of the Allegheny Do- partment waa at this timo called to nssist in protecting the property. This proved futilo, however, to savo the depot, At ten min- utos to 3 o'clock the first passenger coach extending out from the shod caught fire,and immediately the fremon prepared astream of water to throw upon the build. ing, The mob was pressed inside the fence of the Railroad Company, and were at this time in possession of the depot building, in. tently watching the progress of the flames, Mon were appalled, women were fainting on door-steps, and childron screamed plteously. What a aceno! NOW & PANIC 8 STARTED, aud hundreds are fleeing toward tho olevator na for their lives, All is excitement, and it requires but a word to inolte tho mob to the boldest decds, A few moments beforo the big boll rang out, the great tinder-box, tho shod of tho depot, caught fire. It blazed amid a whoop and a loud huzza from the mob. No effort was. made to throw water, it being the inten. tlon of the firemen to wait until the baick building caught. Locomotives on the Pan-Handle Railroad back of the dopot now began pulling away passenger cars. ‘There were no locomotives at that time on the platform, and those in the Pan-Iandlo yard wero at once run over to the south side, ‘The crowd now falle back, driven by the flames of the shed. 4 GREAT SURGING MASS OF FLAMES isall that remains of the shed, People's oyea are dazzled, and their faces wear a wild expression, but they are as silent as the grave ko far as efforts to suppress the work of the fire-fiend were! concerned, Uberty street, Eleventh, and Grant were now thronged with people, while on the hillside above, in front of the High School, at least 8,000 persons had congregated. An- other panio occurred at this juncture, and several more women and children wore in- jured, At 3:30 4 LOUD REPORT, BESEMBLING AM REPLOSION, was heard, and saveral men shouted; “The building is guarded by soldiers, aud we are to bave war!” Another said: “The mob bas powder to blow up the building!” ‘Then there was another frantic scream. Horses ran off, men and women were knocked down, and a horrible scene followed.* 14 was discovered that neither of the above rumors was correct; that the sections of the heavy gravel “roof falling upon the platform occasioned the nolge, At8:45 the depot building proper caught fre, and another yell of delight rent the air. Areport was immeeiately put in circulation to the effect that there were 20,000 rounds of fixed ammunition in tho cellar of the hotel, intonded for the tno of the Philadelphia troops, hut the crowd Ap- peared to not care a continental, the mob facing the music with the utmost comple- concy. At4:30two unpleasant, nay, startling, evonts hed oceurred,—the falling of the walls of what was a fow moments before a beantiful building. It neems that one man broke open A cat containing glass in bores packed in atraw, and set. fire to the same, ond s moment afterward a densa column of smoke shot up from the cars, mak- ing the air black. A gentle breeze sufficed to croate an immense blaze, THY, UTMOST CONSTERNATION Prevailed on the south side of Fountain street and among the peoplo residing on Seventh avenue up to Washington street, ‘There wero now rumors of threatain cirenla- don to eack the city oftor nightfall, and evorybody was terribly excited. RAPID BPRYAD OF THE FLAMEA. Tho firo atarted in the Pan-Handle Rail- road acon destroyed the sheds at the Union Depot, the bridge over Washington strect, the dispatcher’s office, the eugine-house, and all buildings in tho vicinity of the Union Depot. It then spread to the dwell- ings on Washington street, and. ‘as they were of framo it was at once ap- paront that the destruction of property nt this point would be immense. As con- fectured, this proved to bo the firo of fires, and not only embraced all tho buildings on the property of the Pan- Handle Railroad fromthe Union Depot along Fonntsin street to Seventh avenuo, avd Grant street to Liberty, but also the framo tenements on Washington atreot, occupied by poor families, But at 6:20, the wind having changod, ‘THE IMMENSE GRAIN ELEVATOR, which it was thought had escaped, ignited, and was soona mass of flames. Tho mob, principally young mon and boys, in possession of tho elovator building, knocked a holo in tho rear of it, and the fire from the cars and dopots in the rear gaincd access through this sperture, and suddenly, without tho slightest Premonition, the curling smoke began to ap- pear out of thereof. A moment later the smoke became black and dense, and out from it was the lurid famo, Tho roar of the barming building was immonso, and thou. sands soon congregated aronnd the acres of fire, 4 TRAIN OF cans on the old metal yard.was also ablazo at this time, and it was roquired to mako quite a detour in order to got noar the scene of the fire. Tho firemen succcoded in saving the Planing-milla and other property opposite the Pan-Handlo offices on Seventh avenue, but were not so fortunate with that on Washington street, It is stated that the nob enterod the offices of tho Pan-Handle befure the torch was applied, aud thoy ransacked the bookcases and deaks, destroying completely valuable and important papers. Papers of value belonging to the Fort Wayne Railroad wore moved to a place of aafety about half-past 4 o'clock yestorday afternoon, i AT 7 O'CLOCK F. aM. AWFUL CONFLAGRATION.

Apectat Dispatch to The Tribune, Pirtsnuna, Pa., duly 22—9 p,m.—The eleva- tor, Union Depot and hotel, and depot and of- fices of the Pittsburg, Clncinnatl & 8t. Louis Rallway are in ashes. Hell, in all its fury, seems let loose. The fury of the’ mob Increases with fntensity as they see the reauits of the course of the torchand the ruin that is being wrought. The total destruction of the proper- ty of the Pennsylvania Rallroad and freight Jett in {ts charge, and alzo that of the Pan-Handle allroad, Including the 125 locomotives, can+ not be less than $10,000,000, A low estimate of the value of the locomotives at the present time would place them at $2,000,000, though they originally must have cost over $3,000,000, ‘The Unton Depot. and hotel destroyed, owned by the Pennsylvania Ratlroad Company, cost fu the nelghvarhood of $600,000. The gratin ele- vator cost over $1,000,009, and was owned Joint- ly by the corporations of the Pennsylvania Com- pany, though, ostensibly, it was run un- der the title of another corporation. The frelghteheds of the Van-landle allroad were yery complete, and they were Giled with valuable freight, all of which was citer stolen by the mob or destroyed by the fire-demon. Tae dirpatcher’s oflce on Wash- ington street was destroyed, and in its wake followed several small dwellings located near the brick-yard. All is fm direst chaos, The mob revels {on ruin, and there Is no power to controlthem. The Citizens’ Committee accom- Plished nothing. The rioters would not even give them respectful attention. The Jast heard of the Philadelphia militia they were inthe woods at Sharpsburg and near Clarc- mont, where the County Work-Houseis located, Poor fellows! ‘They have had a fearful etpert- ence while. trying to falthfully discharge thelr duty, and left twenty of thelr dead ae evidence of the bloody carnage, The mob—that {s; 0 portion of It—pursued the soldiers clear out {nto the woods. The soldiers threw theirarms away, because they were useless, having cx- hausted their ammunition. They are buogey and fatigued, with no prospect of relief, and one to make thelr way to Philadelphia. The clevator ruins are still burning brightly and the smoldering ruins of the Union Depat andthe Pan-Handle depot and offices send a long stream of smoke.

The drovers and commission men have sent thelr cattie to pastures outaide of town, and the Texas steers are on the rampage, heedless of fences, causing: much damage. The mob ts threatening the banks, but large forces of citizens are guarding the vaults, and no trouble from this suurce 1s really anticipated, Tho mob would not allow the firemen to at- tempt to save railroad property, but manifested no desire to destroy that of private citizens, very little of which was burned, ‘TIE RAILEQAD BUILDINGS DESTROYED were aa follows: Tworound-houses, one machine-shop, Super- intendent’s office, car repalr-shop, blacksmith- shop, three or four oil-houses, Union Transfer Depot and offices, the Pullman Car Company's Inundry and offices, dispatcher's office, powder- house, Unten Depot Hotel, Pan-Handle Rall- road engine-house, genera) offices and freight depot, and the freight depot of the Adams Ex- press Company. ANARCHY, THE WORST NOT YRT OVER. Spectal Iispatch ta The Tribune. Prrrsaurna, July 2—3:30 p. m.—The belie, expressed in your correspondent's dispatch of 12:00, that the wurst was over, ecema Itkely to. prove Iusury. The burning of cars has recom: menced, and tho fire is equal to anything wit- nessed last night. A large number of losded coal cars are now In flames, and dense yolumes of smoke, black as Ink, almost obscure thelight of the sun. The rear part of the UNION DEPOT I8 NOW HURNING, and there isno hope of saving the bullding. Col. Unger was permitted to remove his furnl- tureand the guests their effects, but the firo- men are forbidden, under penalty of death, to throw water upon it.

Svectat PMepatch tn The Tribune. Prrrsavra, July 22.—The terrible ordeal of excttetnent and terror culmioated last evening in the riot, corner of Twenty-cichth street and the railroad, and with a terrible destruction of life and property, At3o'clock yesterday after- noon the Philadelphia troops arrived at the Union Depot, and at 4 o'clock, preceded by Sheriff Fife and a posse comitatus, started north along the rallroad-track to the spot where the rioters were in force, The ll overlooking Twenty-cighth street was Hued with nen, women, and children. The Sheriff attempted to make arrests, be- ing supported by the Philadelphia militia. There was no demonstration until the order was given by Gen. Pearson to clear the track. The dismounted Black Hussars attempted to obey, but were GREETED WITH SEERS AND A SNOWER OF STONES fromm the mob on the side. of the hill, The troops becoming maddened, order was given to fire, The first volley was alimed above the heads of the crowd. This only added fuel to the flames, and the Philadelphia soldiers receiy- ed another volley of stones sid bricks. The mob also drew revolvers and fired at the military witnout any apparent effect. The milltary then directed another volley, this time {oro the crowd direct, with MOST TRAGIC HESULTS, for fourtcen persons were Killed, Including sey- eral women ant children, and about the same number wounded. The strikers, maddcued almost beyond imagination, pushed upon the military, which retired, Then THE MO SUDDENLY LEFT, and again at 5 o'clock the soldiers were in pos session of the rallrond crossing. The main body of tho mob had moved down into the city, whero they gutted Jobnson's and Bowen's gun- shops. During the battle, a portion of the Nineteenth Regiment, which had been posted adjoining tho strikers, were badly used, and several of thefr number kfiled and wounded by the shota fired by the ‘Philadelphia Hussars. The puddlers, miners, and workingmen in gen- era) joined the mob, and, with their neslatance, the gun-shops were gutted. Shortly after this sortie, a portion uf the mob proceeded to Alle- gheny, whero they BROKE INTO THE ARMORY OF KNATI’S NATTERY and stole three of the cannon, while they took to the round-house. They next marched through the city with fife and drum, dring their guns, ‘three of the soldicrs and two citl- zens were killed during the evening.

Before own, o'clock; Beamer, THE RETURN OP THR MOB, the Philadelphia troops took ahelter in the round-house, with the troops quartered thers to protect {t. The mob surrounded It and swore Vengeance, They yowed that none should es- cape from the building alive, and that the structure should be burned over their peads. During the night the mob burned several of! ant frelght trains between Lawretceville and East Liberty. ‘Troops sent to rellevo the sol- ters were ditched about eight milcs from the efty on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, During the night AHOUT POUR HUNDRED CaRs WBER BURNED and their flames lighted up tho heayens all night long. There was no sleep for our citizens, and mot-rule relgned supreine, and exeriling in its thousand-fold horror anything ever experi- enced in the bloodless of scenes during the War, During Saturday night s constant fre was kept up with the besleged in the round- house, and by daylight four inore of the rioters had been killed. The mob would roll train af- ter train upon tho flames, aud at one time over arilo of track was ablaze, while the dremen Were compelled to desist from acting, at tho peril of thelr lives, TH BATTLE OF TUR KIGAT was kept up during daylight, aud before noon dawned over fifty men, women, and children had been killed, and over 100 wounded. ‘The military, during the night, kitled » number of citizens, and the cry fur revenge went up, lung, loud, and deep. The soldiers succeeded in re- capturing the capnon stolen by the mob, but tue latter were determined to dislodge and kill the visiturs. Food brought to the suldiers was dcatroyed bythe mob. Long before the fret fire way made by the Phitadclphia militia, the Pitts burg soldlery stacked arms and refused to fight. The mob kept up their attack on the round- house, avd finally succocded in dislodging the troops, who escaped, after losing twenty men. AROUND THS ROCND-LOUSE, Prrtsaugg, July 23-5 p. m.—At 8a. m., after the mob’s Sring ove shot from the cannon whjch they had pointed, the soldicrs fired from round-housc, aud, covering the gun of the citi- zens with thelr musketzy, prevented ite further uw 8.

LOADER} & I NANRRLS OF COMBUSTIBLE was i TRRIAL, and, when sey took fire, burst, and some of, them flow a distance of 100 feet. The machine-shop between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets then took fire, and, at this time, a blazing car was run down the Allegheny Valley Hallroad switch, This brought the Philadelphia troops ont of the round-house, and they commenced on the crowd. ‘THE PACT THAT A VOLLEY had been Gred and the fact that many of thore killed and wounded had gathered on the hitleda merely as spectators served to increase the bit- terncss of the crowd. By 8 o'clock In the even- ing mobs were moving about the city In variona directions, sacking atdres to secure arms, Lrcak- ing into the armories of the military companies, and preparing themselves toexecute the threats, freely expressed, of massacreing the entire Phil oleinhls command. By this tlme the military ad WITIDRAWH PROM THE RATLROAD-CROSSING at Twenty-cighth street, where the first confict took place, and were ordered tooneof the tound-houses, where they could find bet- ter protection. About 10 o'clock fn the evening a mob numbering several thousands had congregated about the rount-houee. They had previously captured the guns belonging to Hutchinson's battery, a local organization. and planted them so as tocommand the round-housa Several sulld shots were fired at the building and A BREACH MADE IN THE WALLS, but when the fofurlated mob attempted to rush {nto the bullding the military were ordered to fire, The volley of musketry which followed, and the rumor that the Gatling gans of the command were befng brought into requisition, CAUBRD A PANIC, and the mob fled precipitately fur several squares, the military meanwhile keeping up the fusilade. The rioters, however, were soon reassured, and, as thousands were flocking to their assist- ance, they returned to the attack. Finding {t difficult to dislodge the military from the buitd- ing, they RESOLVED TO BURN THEM OUT. An order to this effect was issued, and it wae carried into effect with a fiendish alacrity by the rioters, As a consequence of the dlockada which had existed for two days, the sidings In the outer depot yards, as well as those extend+ lng eastward some three or four miles, were crowded with freigit-cars filled with crain products and merchanilise of all kinds, besides which a number of ladencd ol! cake and coal cara were piled up in the mass. Whilea portion of the mol surrounded the building in which the military had taken refuge, large bodies pro- ceeded to . SET FE To THE OW Cans, snd {n a moment the huge volumes of black emoke which roiled upwards, followed by lurid flaines, reaching out in every direction, told that the work of destruction had commenced. Tho sieht of tho flamcs secmed to literally crazo the rioters, some of whom rushed wildly about with flaming torches in thelr hands, applying them to the cars indiscriminately. An alarm was sounded, and the Departineut promptly re- sponded, but the rloters, who bad complete con- * trol of the city, refused to permit them to mako any effort to extinguish the fames. They sald they were determincd to DESTROY THE RAILROAD COMPANY'S PROPERTY, but would do no fojury to that belonging to private citizens. They kept their word, too, and, when a lumber-pile belonging to a citizen took fire the rioters themselves turned in and helped to extinguish the fames and remove the jumber to a safe place, MOVING THAINS OF FLAME. Train after train was fired by the fofuriated crowd, but the cars were so far distant from the round-houses that tho heat did nut serious- Jy affect the mitltary, although their position was one of peril. = Finally, a large party of strikers captured a car filled with coke, which they ran from tho Allegheny Valley Railway track to a siding con- necting with the Pennsylvania Railroad. They then procured large quantitics of petroleum oll, and, pouring it over the coke, fgnited the ma- terials. Ina very few moments the car was a mass of fire, and it was then pushed along tho tracks and forced against the round-house. TUB BUILDING WAS BOON IGNITED, and the soldiers were now compelled to prepara to fight thelr way out throuch tha frenzicd mass of humanity clamoring for thelr blood. The bullding did not burn as rapidly as was de- aired, amd the mob, bent on rovenge, rushed out on the road and sent burn- ing trains towards the doomed bulldings. From midnight until 5 o'clock this morning the main effurts of the crowd wero directed to firing tho buildings and cars, but about half an hour later the mob which had been besleging the military left, YOR SOME UNRXPLAINED REASON. This afforded the troops, who were iu actual danger of being rousted alive, an opportunity to emerge from the building, and they euc- ceeded in reaching Liberty street. {0 a very few moments they quietly formed in lne and marched up to Thirty-third street, and thenca to Pennsylvania avenue and = Butler etreet. Thelr . objective point = was. the United States Arsenal on Butler street, where they expected to obtain shelter, While turning into Butler atrect, however, tho leaders of the mob bad discovered their retreat, and fully 1,000 men, fully armed and supplied with ammunition, FOLLOWRD IN PURSUIT, Some of the truope fired at the citizens, either accidentally or intentionally, as they wera moved along, and this added tury to the cry for revenge, TOE ARMORY REACHED. When they reached the arsenal the Com- mandant refused to admit them, He said ho had but ten men, and would be powerless to hold the place {f the mob should attack it. He consented to take careof the wounded, and they. were accordingly carried into the bospitala.. The main body of the troops continued thefr march out Bulter street, # fuslllade being wept up by the mob, As they moved forward the shots fired killed one of the soldiers before they reached the arsenal, and nearly opposite tho cemetery gate, fully smile above the arsenal, two others were killed, and were left lying on the sidewalk. They continued thelr flight, and crossed over to the north sido of the Allegheny River on Sharpsburg bridge, the mob following them as rapidly as possible. Afver reaching tho north side, ‘TUE TROOFS HCATTERED, and in thle way the mob was divided Into very small bodies, In the mesntime, the city was in a state of anarchy. ‘Thousauds who had not Jolned in pursuit of the fleeting troops gathered about the buruing buildiogs and trains, and as- sisted in epreading the flauics wherever they bad nut been applied. By 7 o'clock the fire had ex- tended from Millvale station to Twentleth treet, and enveloped hundreds of cars, the ez- tensive machine-shops, two round-houses, the depots and oftlce of the Union Transfer Com- pany, blackswith-shope,storebouses, and narwer ous buildings makiug up tho terminal facilities of the mammoth corporation.
