In the course of the afternoon and evening tumbers of men, some of them strangers, could be seen in the neighborhood of the round house (6th street and Virginia avenue southwest) generally standing in groups, and from this point to the navy yard tunnel there were several groups of men standing. It was reporved that a train made up in the depot was for the pur- pose of carrying over to Baltimore in case of necessity a body of troops, marines and sallors,and there was an impression about the depot that if such @ train was sent out it would be attacked. Whether there was ac- tual ground for the fears of attack not positively known, but it is certain that threats were made that no troops should leave, and one man publicly offered to bet #5 that no trains would be running to-day. Major Richards was informed of the condl- tion of things, and dispatehes were sent to the several precincts to hold all the men in reserve. All the men that couid be spared from the second, fourth, and sixth precincts were detailed to the fifth precinct station, on 10h Street, and kept there until after mid- nigbt. Lieutenants Johnson, Hurley. Green, Austin, Ge-sford, and Kelly were with the reserve force, which included ten mounted men.

BLOODY WORK AT TADING. More Reckless Firing By The M 5 Persons Killed and 25 Wounded, titia The Strikers in Other Quarters. BLOODSHED AT READING. Yesterday a crowd, numbering several thousand persons, asvembied along the Read- ing railroad, and in the afternoon they com- menced stopping freight, coal and passenger trains, only permitting mail trains to pro ceed. AtSo'clock lastevening seven com panies of the ith regiment, N. G. of Pennsyl- Vania, arrived, and proceeded along the ratl- road to Penn street. While in the deep cat, extending two squares from Walnut to Penn streeis the soldiers were assailed with stones and immediately commenced firing, it is al- leged, without orders. The firing was in criminate, the bullets doing sad work amor the immense concourse of people in the v cinity of 7th and Penn streets, among whom were Many respectable eitizens, as Well as ladies aud children.

The mayor had a large number of pol.cemen scattered along the road, the bridges were guarded to keep suspicious characters or crowds from crossing, aud the military were close at hand should their ser- vices be required. Yesterday Collector Tutton communicated with Secretary Sherman tn references to guarding goveroment property, and received @ response that Gen. Hancock had been or- dered to afford needed protection. The general feeling last night was hopefal that the worst had passed so far as Philadel- phia was concerned. Notices posted in va- rious portions of the city calling meetings of workingmen and sympathizers with the strikers were torn down by police officers in citizen’s dress, under orders received frem Adjutant-General Latta through Gen.

ARREST OF RIOT RINGLEADERS. “harles Clark, who was arrested yesterday rning charged with beinga ringleader aud ineiting riot fn the Penusylvania ratiroad yard, was committed yesterday in defaait of 5.000. Robert Jam son, Michael Moore and Mark Harris were also arrested in the vicia- ity of the depot charged with being concern- in the riot, and held in $800 bail eaoh. After the Battle at Pitsburg. A Pitsburg dispatch says: A live siould be drawn between the strike proper and its terrible consequences, evinced by buraing and pillaging est rday the strikers seemed universally disposed to assist the law-abiding citizens in saving prop=rty from the thieves and flames, and their better nature shows itself on allhands. Bat the terrible scenes that have been enacted are traceable to a much lower grade of men than those who have neither character nor ition to lose by their action, and seem to hold themselves amenable to no law whatever. This is the class whose 80s are bringing disgrace to Pittsburg. THE RAILROADS WILL KOT COMPROMISE. As to any plan looking to any compromise between the Fort Wayne men and their em- i ployee, it is stated that all hopes im that rection are ended. It ts learned that the railroad authorities have distinctly informed the strikers that there will be ne compromise whatever. It became known al! the passenger and firemen quit their engines. As no trains of any kind will go out this even- ing. On the Pennsylvania raiiroad there is no possible ho} @ compromise. The of- fictals declare it such shall not take place though nota wheel should turn on their en- tire road; also, that if the community can — along without the Pennsylvania railroad ¢ latter can get along without the strikers. ‘The scenes about the Union depot yesterday were Rot hard of description—all was deso- lation. The ruins of the passenger depot and the Pan Handle buildings were covered with men and women, who were digging with their sticks and bands in expectation of get- ling something worth keeping. PITTSBURG QUIET LAST NIGHT. ‘The city was quiet last night. Tne streets were filled with citizens, but no disorderly or turbulent characters snowed themselves. The citizen forces demonsirate their ability to protect property and preserve the peace. A HORRIBLE ERVELATION.

French have also tel- egrapbed to the assistant adjutant general that the report of his drunkenness is atterly false. Gen.

After the speech large crowds marched to the different manufacturing places in_ the city, compelling the men to quit work. They also waited on Townend « Burgess, pro- prietors of the street railway, compelling them to baul off the street cars. About 50 manufactu'ing establishments are idle. BLOCKADE AT TOLEDO. At 1.30 p. m. yesterday a delegation of Strikers waited upon the eng:neers and fire: men of the Lake Shore and Michigan South- em railroad at Air-lice junction, near Toledo, and ordered them to ran their engines into the roundhouse, wich order was com- lied with. All west-bound freight trains have been abandoned, and orders have been Issued to Siation agents to receive no stock or freight of any description for any point. This order pu's an end for the present to all feight traffic on the main line and air-line routes.

A dt; are! ym Butfalo at 7:30 o'clock last evening say reinforced by large numbers, ca “ar shops of the Lake Shore ad Erie companies, and ordered all tbe workmen there to quit, which they did forshwith. No serious demonstrations are as yet being made. Abvut 4 o'clock in the after- Poon & Buflalo and Jamestown train, which ltaves the Erie depot, on arriving at Com- premise crossing, two miles from the depot, ad @ passenger coach detached and shoved cn the Central track, and the fireman was ‘oreibly taken from the engine. Superin- terdent Doyle, who was on the train, remon- strated with the strikers, stating there had been no reduction of wages on their road, nor bad there been any since its inaugura tion. The effect of the statement was the bringing back of the coach by the strikers, who coupled it on, and assured Superin- tendent Doyle that nothing should be done in any way to interfere with the workiug of his road. Early in the afternoon an assanit was made by nearly 2,€90 rioters on about 200 soldiers, who were guarding the Lake Shore round house. The militai were obliged to leave the building, which Is now barricaded by the mob, who have placed cars in ition as @ defence against an at- tack. Col. Flach, of the 65th regiment, with 30 men and three officers, toolishiy proceeded to the round house to retake it from the mob. They were met with yells of derision from the crowd, and under a shower of stones were forccd to retreat at a double-quick and force their way through the yelling crowd at the point of the bayonet,sorae of tne so'dierg eirg badly cut on the bands with kaives, and also clubbed. Two of the soldiers lost their muskets, which, however, were after- wards recovered. Col. Flach was badly clubbed, twice knocked dowa, forced across the caval, and obliged to take refuge in the Lake Shore paint shop. The engincers of the Erie and Lake Shore roads have signed an agreement with the firemen not to run with green hands. It is expected that the New York Central engineers will follow suit. General Strike Notes Midnight dispatehes from Wheeling repre- gentthe situation there as very dangerous. The hands in the railroad shops were yester- Gay compelled by the strikers to quilt work and join in the movement. The police commissioners of New York state that the police are amply able to cope With violators of law if there should be auy uouble.

A large force of police will be present to preserve order, but no trouble is anticipated. The Brooklyn militia received orders from the general in command to assemble at once, fully armed and equipped. No orders were received, however, to proceed to the scenes of trouble, but it was evident that trouble was anticipated. As reason for this Gen. Dakin, of the 2d division, N. G.8.N. Y., the whole of whose companies have been ordered. under arms, said last evening that it was well to be on the safe side. He had heard that the armories were likely to be attacked, and be was going to be ready.
