Thousands who had not joined in the pursuit of the fleeing troops gath2rei about the burning buildings and trains and assisted in spreading the flames wherever they had not been applied. By 7 o'clock the fire had extended from Milville station to 20th street, and enveloped hundreds of cars. ‘The extensive machine shops, two rounud- houses, the depots and office of the Union transfer company, blacksmith shops, siore- houses, and numerous other buildiags mak~ ing up terminal facilities of this mammo'h corporation. In the roundhouses were 125 first-class locomotives, which had been housed in consequence of the strike. Tnese were totally destroyed, but even the im. mense loss which will be sustained in this item is but a trifle in the aggregate damage The scenes transpiring on Liberty st., the line of which the tracks of the rail- road runs,simply beggars description. Watle hundreds were engaged in firing the cars and making certain of the destruction of the val- vable buildings at the outer depot, thousands of men, women and children engaged in pil- laging the cars. Mev armed with heavy sledges would break open the cars, and then the contents would be thrown out and car. ried off by those bent on profiting by the reign of terror existing. A MEETING OF CITIZENS was held at noon. It was decided to appoint a committee, consisting of Bishop Twizg, of the Catholic Charch; James pris » Dr. E Donnelly, James L. Bennett, and Dr. 8. F Scovel, of the First Presbyterian Church, to bave a conference with the rioters, wulle another committee was appointed to wait on the railroad authorities Wo ascertain waat course they intended to purse a compromise that woul put disorder which existed. The meeting then adjourned, to meet again at 4 p.m THE UNION DEPOT BURNED. At 590 a burning car was run down the grade under the sheds surrounding the pot. Up to this time it was hope! that the uiiding Weuld escape, bat the masses of pine lumber used in the shedding over the track were soon a sea of fire. While the tire Was raging here the mob pillaged the fr-igit depot of the Pittsburg Louis railroad, which is in close vicini Boxes of freight received f broken open and valuable off. After plundering the dey and when flour, hams and all kinds of pr: sions had been carried away the torcl was applied, and soon the yasidepot and th nay "s off ces ad joining Were a mass ot flames. The Union depot was @ large four-story build ing. It had a frontage on Liberty street of about seventy feet and extended back about two bundred feet. The lower tloor was used as waiting rooms, ticket offices, and the com- pany’s offices. The upper floor was occupied by the Keystone Hotel Company, and was one of the first houses in the city.” When the Union depot building was fired, followed by the Pan Handle offices, a panic seized the cii- izens, who had up to this time ealmly folded their arms and looked on, and it was feared that the Gegan Syerag would sweep the en- tire portion of the city southof the Pan Han- die railroad tracks, a8 many of the buildings were small flames, as dry as Under. At this juncture the fire department of Allegheny, whieh had been held in readiness in case of an outbreak on that side of the river, was summoned to assist in staying the progress of the flames. THE RAILROAD BUILDINGS DESTROYED were as foliows: Two round. Machine shop, superintendent blacksmith’s shop, three or four repair shop, oi! houses, Union transfer depot, and the of- fices of the Pullman Car Company, laundry ard offices, dispatcher’s office, wider house, Unton depot hotel, Pan Handle rail- road engine house, general @ffices and freight depot, and freight depot of the Adams Ex- ress Company, the freight depot of the ittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and general offices of the same company. A LULL IN THE STORM. A dispatch received from Pittsburg at 4:30 o'clock this morning says. About five o'clock yesterday afternoon the fire from the Unton depot communicated to the immense grain elevator at the coroer of Grant and Wash- ington streets. This was built of huge tim bers and covered with slate. It contained a large quantity of grain. The destruction of these buildings seemed to satisfy the rioters, as they began to disperse while they were —eE Most of those who deserted the crowd loaded themselves down with plunder, and wended their way homeward. Through- out the entire day various gangs of rioters were searching for General Pearson and the general officers of the Pennsylvania rail- road, the latter being obnoxious to them, on account of bringing the Philatelphia troops here, while General Pearson is charged with having given the order to fire last evening. He would certai have been killed had be not man: to get out of the way. It is said that he and the railroad officers left the city early yesterday morning. At all events his whereabouts is unknown. At the adjourned meeting of the citizens held yes- terday afteraoon, A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE WAS ORGANIZED to prevent further destruction of property. It was rapidly recruited, and each member was first provided with base ball bats, but these were afterwards exchanged for guns. They were designated by white ribbons on theirarms. As soon as the force was organ- ized the ed to 7th avenue, where hun- ‘of, spectators, who had been waiting for some one to lead, joined with them in eevosing cendiariem. The ‘brough trains on the Pennsylvania ratl- road arrived and departed as usual yes- terday, the West Pennsylvania railway tracks being used from Allegheny City & forged techies be the main boewe ‘hus far no property of the company outside of Pittabarg hes beso disturbed. It is stated that the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne company have notified their men that they have ac- ceded to their demands, and will pay wages as before the reduction of June 15. The man are now busily oper in getting the road in running order. The Fort Wayne blockade being raised, it is likely the Cleveland and Pittsburg and the Erie and Pitisburg roads will be able to run as usual. The situation On the other roads remains unchange!. Tae loss can only be estimated. Along the Penn- sylvania , frem Union depot to East Liberty, the pumerous tracks were filled with loaded cars; these were burned from Millville, 23d street, to 13th street, a distance of twenty blocks. it ts estimated tnat 2,000 cars loaded with oi], coal and all kinds of merchandise were totally destroyed. These, together with locomotives, buildings and other property destroyed, swell the Penn- Sylvania railread company’s losses to an ag- gregate amount that is variously estimated at from tbree to four million dollars.

Robinson, of New York, has issued @ proclamation reciting that @ conspiracy has been formed to prevent his dischargiug his duty as the reselver of the Erle railroad; that the business of said road and the rua- ning of trains have been interrupted by vio lence which the civil authorities are ucable to suppress. The Governor commands all Rersous engaged in such unlawful acts to lesist therefrom, and calls upon all good citizens, and upon all the authorities, civil and military, to ald in suppressing the same and In preventing breaches of the peace. Tne law recognizes and protects the rich of all men to refuse to work, except upon terms sausfactory to themselves, but it does not permit them to prevent other men from working who desire to do so. Unless the state isto be given upto anarchy and its courts and laws are to be defied with im- punity its whole power must be exerted to suppress violence, maintain order and pro- tect its citizens in their rights to work, aad the business of the country from lawless in- terruption within oar borders. A STRIKE SYMPATITY MEETING IN ST. LOUIS. Ata meeting of workingmen held at Tar- ner ball, in St. Louis, yesterday afternoon, several speeches on the labor question eral anil Lae present resolut kKingme: opted: «That, as erent railroads in this ry are rising nase to demand their Just rights, and a Vaited Stat ment bas allied itself and against labor, t ingmen’s party of the United States, heartily Ss) mpathize with employes of all railroads in this country who are attempting to secure @ just and equitable reward for their labor, and will stand by them in this most righte- ous struggle of labor agaiust robbery and op- Pression, through good and evil report. to the end of the struggle.” The resolutions were read to a meeting in East St. Louis last evening, and were received with hearty cheers. THE STRIKE ON THE ERIE ROAD. Erie officials say that the strike is not ex- tending along their line, and no violence has laken place. They are confident of getting their trains through Hornelisville and dis- persing the strikers by to-day. The adjutant general of New York issued orders yesterday for the id and 74th regiments of National Guards to proceed at once wo Hornelisville to quiet rioters on the Erie railroad. The id regiment, of brooklyn, lefi last evening at7 erso’clock for Hornellsville. The 30un regiment is said to be also under orders for the same place. THE PRUSPRCTS AT LOUISVILLE. There is intense interest in Louisville in the railroad strike. Receiver McLeod,of the Short Line, issued an order for the redaction of ten per cent. on wages, to take effect on the ist of August. Ata meeting of workingmen last nightcommittces were appolnted to wait on the railroad officials and ascertain what is going to be done.
