In hunareda of instances wag- ons were presecd into service to cnable the thieves to getaway with their goode. Mayor McCarthy carly in the day endeavored. to stop the pillage, but the handful of men at his command were unable to control the crowd, who were desperate in their anxiety to secure gouds. At ono tine the pillage was chock- ed, but the mob fired the cars, and then procecded with the work of destruction.

Here and there a man who had been discharged night be seen leading a crowd, but generally the ringleaders were men who had never been employe? on any railroad, Many halfcrawn toys were foremost in the work of devastation, and vied with the older ones in ther efforts. ‘The operations were carrivd on very (uictly, and the multitude of men, Women, and ctlldren who filled tue streets and oceupted posittous on the bulside south of the railway louked on with astonishment while the destruction of property continued, TUE UNION DEPOT FILED.
